Unable to meet the expected interference and resistance of the enemy, the Germans transported their troops far faster than planned, and it took only half an hour for the landing craft force to send a regiment of infantry ashore. With the passage of time, the pilots of the landing craft have become familiar with the hydrological environment on the route, and after several round-trip voyages, they gradually began to become familiar with the pilot, turning to turn around and rely on the gang faster and faster, hundreds of small landing craft shuttled back and forth between the beach and the boat group, and the trail of the trail drew a regular elliptical on the water, and the whole process was like a flat-bottomed boat race.

The first group of infantry to come ashore were all light infantry, and did not carry their own baggage and heavy equipment. The first batch of troops that landed in the original plan would be hit by all kinds of firepower and weapons of the British army, and in the process of rushing to the beach, speed was the first place, and the result of moving to the beachhead with a load of more than ten kilograms on their backs was to be killed by the other side like ducks.

Xu Jun has studied countless historical records about the landing of Allied forces in World War II, and has seen many memoirs and photos of the parties involved, North Africa, Italy, Normandy, the Pacific Ocean, every beach rush is like a blood sacrifice, Xu Jun is not prepared to make the mistakes made by his predecessors.

The German soldiers were fortunate not to have to rely on numerous defeats and the blood of thousands of soldiers in exchange for the final perfection of landing tactics, as their Anglo-American counterparts did. However, now it seems that the experience of the Führer Xu has not come in handy at all, and if you want to verify the advanced nature of the Führer's landing tactics, I am afraid that you will have to look for the next opportunity.

Guderian first discovered the problem, the German landing plan was all based on the state of operation, each wave of landing troops interlocked, to ensure the continuity of the attack of the front-line assault force, including a large number of deep breakthroughs and roundabout actions, so everything in the plan is based on ensuring firepower and troops.

But the current situation is completely different, and Guderian believes that the focus should be immediately shifted, and everything should be centered on consolidating the defense of the landing zone and establishing forward bases. Before the British could react, they should turn the area into a strong bridgehead, and then follow the plan of the high command to launch the next round of attacks.

Guderian's suggestion once again hit the itch of Bock, and the more the conservative commander-in-chief of the landing group looked at the mustache the more pleasing it became. Bock immediately worked with Guderian to unfold the landing transfer table and study what changes could be made at the moment, provided that the normal landing order was not disrupted.

Guderian believed that it was necessary to first land the mechanized engineering troops, cooperate with the naval engineering troops, quickly build landing pontoon bridges and improvised docks, and then send the construction and armored engineering units ashore. These troops could immediately construct fortifications and defensive lines on the outskirts of towns and villages, and lay airstrips at the planned locations to establish advance airfields.

During this period, the two tank landing ships rushed to the beach according to the original plan and sent the two tank companies ashore, so as to ensure that the landing area could be protected by a battalion of armored forces before dawn, and as long as they did not encounter the impact of heavy artillery or British armored forces, the infantry alone could not break through this defensive line.

When the landing pontoon bridge and pier are completed, the follow-up artillery and armored units will be able to be continuously transported to the shore, and all supplies and logistics systems can be transferred to the shore.

Meantime. The work of dropping infantry from the landing craft continues, but the infantry who land later can carry their own baggage and luggage, and carry as many heavy weapons as possible, which can reduce the pressure on the front-line defense troops and logistics transportation.

The High Command did not expect the British to abandon their villages and towns. The original plan was to turn the area into a bloody and brutal battlefield, with roads and buildings bound to be severely damaged, so it was considered to build supply points, barracks, and supply yards on the beachhead and in the field outside the town.

The High Command deliberately set out a timetable for this in its plan. In addition, a large part of the sappers and equipment were also allocated to the construction of these facilities and units. So Guderian found that now these sappers and equipment could be saved. They can be assigned to other important engineering tasks.

Because now the Germans are confronted with a whole community, and the whole area is made up of two small towns connected together, one is Wolmann and the other is Diere. A few hundred years ago it might have been two villages, but after hundreds of years of evolution and expansion, the two towns are now connected and indistinguishable.

The buildings and alleys stretch four kilometers along the beach and two kilometers deep, and the whole is an isosceles triangle, with the three-tiered cake Deehlburg in the center of the longest side of the triangle, and another castle in the south corner of the bottom edge.

Since the townsfolk have fled, all the houses are empty, and the Germans can now requisition any building at will without any hindrance. There were so many ready-made houses, warehouses, workshops, and camps that the Germans did not have to spend manpower and material resources to rebuild them.

The water supply and power supply system of the town is intact, and the Germans can use it directly as long as they take a little rest, and even the bar, cinema, and entertainment facilities are completely preserved, and the decoration is complete and complete, and the German soldiers can move in directly with their bags.

Bock, reminded by Guderian, immediately found the crux of the problem, and he began to praise the apostles of God for how such miracles could have been performed without God's favor.

Guderian's proposal, Bock decided to accept it in its entirety, and at the same time, as an experienced army group commander, he also made his own proposals. Immediately report to the High Command on the current progress, request the Air Force to parachute a number of paratroopers here as soon as possible, and request the High Command to launch an attack on Dover and Folkestone in advance to attract the attention of the British army.

The high command quickly sent a reply, which was personally replied by Xu Jun, who first expressed his appreciation for Bock's quick decision, and then met all of Bock's demands, and the two reserve paratrooper regiments were ready to fly to Dill immediately, and the third echelon of the Reichenau group had already set off and would arrive at the landing point in two hours. Finally, regarding Dover and Folkestone, he told Bock not to worry, those two places are currently struggling under fire, and Bock can now act boldly.

The intact preservation of the town of Dill saved a lot of effort on the part of the German landing force and, more importantly, a lot of valuable time, and a large number of construction engineering units were sent ashore to join the bridge-building project on the beachhead.

Navy engineers had already begun the assembly of prefabricated pontoon bridges, connecting eight metre long hermetically sealed pontoon boats side by side with iron bolts, and then weaving them into pontoon rafts in groups of four. The sappers first laid a mesh steel beam on it, hinged it with iron bolts, and finally laid a layer of sleeper pavement on top of the steel beams, which were fastened to the steel beams by long iron bolts, which were 40 centimeters thick and could withstand the crushing of tanks and heavy artillery.

The naval engineers had gone through numerous drills before this, and they had already mastered these work procedures, and soon completed the construction of the basic modules. The sailors towed the rafts to the beachhead in motorboats, and then hooked up with movable bolts to form a single piece, and soon an 800-meter-long pontoon bridge was presented to the Germans.

The naval engineering ship drove the steel column into the seabed, fixed the pontoon bridge with anchor chains and iron bars, and prevented it from being deformed and damaged by the impact and drift of the waves, and the sappers installed a movable springboard at the end of the pontoon bridge near the beach, which was directly connected to the mechanized bridge built by the mechanized bridge erection engineer unit, and the iron bridge was connected to the pontoon bridge at one end, and the other end was directly laid to the top of the sand embankment soil slope, and the soldiers and vehicles could go directly to the land from the pontoon bridge.

The army engineers laid more than a dozen simple auxiliary roads on the beach, engineering vehicles and transport vehicles were sent to the beach by vehicle landing barges, mechanized bridge trailers dragged the mechanized bridge parts to the beachhead and assembled by the bridge sappers, and other supply baggage was quickly driven up the dirt slope along the auxiliary road. The originally scheduled beachhead supply point was canceled because there were ready-made warehouses and courtyards to use, and there was no need to dig holes in the beach anymore.

Over the next two hours, naval and army engineers worked together to build four identical pontoon bridges in succession. At the same time, the two engineering ships began to fill the large cement caisson towed with water, these large cement components slowly sank to the bottom of the water at the position that had been calculated long ago, and four huge steel columns were inserted into the pre-built fixed holes on the caisson, and then the tugboat pulled a large flat-bottomed barge over, and fixed between the four pillars with an anchor chain, and the anchor chain hook was hung on a movable iron ring on the iron post, and the barge could float up and down with the rise and fall of the tide. Eventually, naval engineers attached one end of a pontoon bridge to the barge, and a complete system of floating docks was formed.

Before sunrise, the first floating dock was completed, a large transport ship immediately docked up, the infantry carried their luggage directly up the boarding ladder to the dock, the vehicles and supplies were slowly lowered with the slings of the side cranes, and in a short time, a battalion of infantry carried all the equipment and vehicles to the shore.

At this time, it is not far from sunrise, and the horizon in the east is close to gradually revealing a touch of fish belly white. It took Bock and Guderian half a night to send four infantry regiments and an armored battalion to the coast, along with all the engineering units and a large amount of baggage and ammunition and fuel.

Under the command of Bock, the landing Germans had built a half-moon defensive line around the landing site. By the time the dawn dawned in the east and the first rays of the morning sun hit the beaches of England, the coast had become a huge jumble of construction sites, the streets of the villages and towns were full of figures in gray uniforms and steel helmets, the streets were full of trucks and barrel trucks, and the transport ships on the sea were still changing positions, one after the other docked at the floating dock. Groups of infantry and trucks continued to walk along the pontoon bridges and then dispersed to various assembly points and defensive positions under the command of the gendarmerie.

At 6:50 a.m. on the D-day, Bock reported to the High Command that the German Army had successfully landed in England, that he had moved the General Headquarters to Disburg on the shore, and that the German Iron Cross flag was flying over Britain.
