13 British 3rd Division vomiting blood
So the Allies are simply racking their brains, to be honest, the British are panicking, for fear that Rommel will suddenly go crazy and counterattack, in which case everything will be in trouble.
And the real offensive plan was also very difficult.
Fighting a war is like what the Chinese say, it is necessary to consider the right time and place.
Why does the commander need a staff team?
You say it's OK?
That's not true.
This landing will meet the needs of all branches of the armed forces.
For example, the army has to land at high tide to make it easier, which can reduce the time the troops are exposed to the beach; The navy, however, had to go ashore at low tide in order to minimize damage to the landing craft by obstacles; The Air Force also required moonlight to facilitate the identification of ground targets by the Airborne Forces.
What's going on with this Nima?
If it's not good, you have to do it!
Since it is necessary to fight, the staff team must scientifically draw up a plan that suits the needs of all branches of the armed forces on the basis of the above.
Since the tides at the five beachheads were different due to the high and low tide landfalls, they also had to calculate five different landing moments.
As a result, the landing day was finally scheduled on the day of the full moon.
Since the airborne time is still to be placed at 1 a.m.
The landing date, then, met the above conditions, and in mid-June 1944 there were only two sets of consecutive three-day days.
June 5-7, June 18-20, and finally the first day of Eisenhower's selection of the first group, June 5.
And so, it was at this time that the war really began!
This day is known as D-Day internally and by future generations.
A week after Pacific Fleet Commander Rogers once again suppressed the fighting spirit of the troops.
D-Day arrived, and the Normandy landings finally began.
First of all, on the Western Front, on the night of the landing, the American 82 and the 101 Airborne Division of Wakanda parachuted near the town of Church of Our Lady (-Eglise), seized the road to the coast, preventing the enemy from strengthening the coastal defenses.
Because the next day, according to the plan, Shet's 1st Bison Army would arrive there.
At the same time, the 4th Division of the 7th Army, under the cover of the 3rd Division of Wakandakong, landed on Utah Beach near the dunes of Farrivir, and the 1st and 29th Divisions of the 5th Army, to the east, landed on Omaha Beach near Vieville.
The 5th Army, which had landed successfully, expanded its beachhead, and the 7th Army crossed the Cotaine Peninsula to occupy Cherbourg south, and then moved south to capture St. Louis.
Once they captured the St. Louis and St. Louis-Perrier roads, Shet's 1st Army was ready to use mechanized units for offensive operations.
This was followed by the entry of the 3rd Army of the famous big-mouthed general Patton.
In fact, at this time, he was still nominally opposite Calais.
Patton marched directly to the Brittany Peninsula, where he was responsible for the capture of Brest and other ports, and would be responsible for the security of the 1st Army's right flank in the event of an attack on Paris.
That's right, Han Huaiyi wants Paris!
Otherwise, what did he beep for Free France at the Tehran Conference?
The above is the battle on the Western Front.
On the Eastern Front.
The British 2nd Army was deployed between Bayeux and Caen, and the British 6th Airborne Division was airborne near Caen and the mouth of the Orne River before H o'clock under its own division, occupying the northeastern flank of the theater of operations.
The 30th Division of the British 50th Army landed on GOLD Beach near Bayeuux.
The 1st Army attacked eastward in two directions.
THE CANADIAN 3RD DIVISION LANDED ON JUNO BEACH, AND THE BRITISH 3RD DIVISION LANDED ON SWORD BEACH.
As for the air cover of the British troops, it was their own business, and Wakanda had no time to help.
After the successful landing, the divisions quickly occupied the main communication routes so that the armored forces could deploy.
When the battle began, the Germans were stunned.
Because Rommel's power was also drawn to the Calais hoax where "Patton" was.
But it would be too late for Rommel to attack even now.
Wei Wei to save Zhao also depends on the situation.
First of all, it was impossible for his forces to defeat the British, and secondly, the great movement of the Allies this time was completely at the root of the Germans.
He had to find a way to put out the fire.
But he was still 200 kilometers from the battlefield, and Berlin was still in ink!
Germany in World War II, in the later period, Adolf did not trust anyone.
His favorite thing is to overstep the command and give orders blindly.
In view of this sluggishness, on D-Day, the only German counterattack was organized by the 21st Panzer Division, which was stationed near Juno Beach.
But the Allies were on five fronts.
Especially when the battle began, the commander of the 21st Panzer Division was not in command, and the chief of staff had no authority to mobilize and assemble troops, so he had to send the only 24 No. 4 tanks in his hands to attack the British army east of Caen.
Due to their haste and lack of preparation, and without infantry support, the tanks were easily repulsed by the British.
It was not until the afternoon of the same day that the division commander Fichdinger rushed back to the division headquarters.
He panicked and gathered his troops to attack Luke Town between Juno Beach and Arrow Beach, when the Allies, mainly the British and Canadian troops, still had a gap of several kilometers between the two beaches, and this German counterattack was hitting the key points of the Allies, causing the Allies a lot of difficulties.
However, while the 21st Panzer Division was on the move, 500 transport planes from Wakanda suddenly flew overhead.
They reluctantly came to deliver follow-up troops and supplies for the British 6th Airborne Division, and Fichdinger, who had no fighting spirit, mistakenly believed that the Allied airborne paratroopers were trying to flank his own troops in front and rear, and he simply gave up the counterattack and hurriedly retreated.
Seeing the movement below, this air force in Wakanda is also quite shameless.
Reported directly to the Allied headquarters: "We destroyed the only counterattack of the Germans with our shadows. ”
The 3rd Division of the British Army and the Canadians almost vomited blood, but isn't this a fact?
Other than that, the Germans didn't fight back much on D-Day.
The day was getting brighter, and the situation was completely clear.
The first half of the Normandy landings had been successful, and Eisenhower began to set his sights on Rommel's ministry in Calais.
Then he said to Mukhazhov, who commanded the Wakanda Air Force: "General, is it okay to hand it over to you?" ”
"No problem." Mukhazhov then began to mobilize air forces in the direction of the enemy's reinforcements and prepare for battle.
6th.
The ground war continues.
Although it was smooth sailing when the five armies marched together, the allies were still very cautious in their hearts.
So this day is a long day for the coalition forces.
Because they have to complete all the predetermined plans in order to really establish themselves in France.
And for Rommel, he had a hunch that it would be the most crucial twenty-four hours in the whole of Germany.
But he could only watch.
It was not until the next day, June 7, 1944, that Adolf handed over command of the five Panzer Divisions of the Panzer Group on the Western Front to Rommel.
But Rommel, who was already desperate, said to this, I can go to you.
24 hours have passed, and I'm still spanking a fart!
