Chapter 965

"Gentlemen, the Germans think we're going to arrive in Calais the shortest way from Dover, which is where they defend the most."

"We cross the long Strait to Normandy and they will be surprised. The enemy will fight back fiercely on the first day, but we will defeat them."

"Gentlemen, this is our chance." Six months before the start of the operation, Eisenhower made the following remarks, and now they are doing the same.

June 3, summer.

It was an extremely bad season, with the waves on the sea, the rain pouring down and the boats swinging with the waves.

Not to mention the army, even some navies are seasick, holding a bucket all day long vomiting.

To make matters worse, just 24 hours before the landing date, a sudden storm intensified the phenomenon.

According to the forecast, it will take two weeks for the tide in Normandy to subside.

The command's order to postpone the operation date also means that ships and soldiers need to drift on the sea.

This is the worst-case scenario, and the entire allied command is frustrated and upset, and the attack may be hindered.

In the end, someone predicted that the sea level would improve on the evening of the 5th.

More visibility, less rain, enough time to attack, lasting

Unknown.

No one knows where the gamble will go. During the day of the 4th, Eisenhower even asked his secretary to type a speech for him after his defeat.

In other words, if he fails, he will bear the consequences of this gambling.

On the evening of the 5th, it was drizzling and the weather was very bad, not to mention the thick fog.

It was in such weather that 16 dc-101 heavy transport aircraft carrying the 82 and 101 airborne divisions went to Mason.

Mason cannon, that's the biggest threat to this landing.

It's powerful enough to smash all the main allied warships in one shot, and its range can cover the entire Normandy Strait.

So, before landing, they have to deal with the whole big threat.

The task of the airborne division is to destroy Mason's fort. There is not much time left for them. The army will attack from the sword stand in three hours.

500 people, including the same number of dummies, were installed on the plane.

They needed to distract the German army. After reaching the target, the airborne division parachuted, and the transporter allowed the dummy to land as paratroopers at another feint point.

They appeared smoothly above the target, and the air flow on the sea made the flight a little bumpy.

With the first shot, orange fireworks appeared in the sky, and the enemy's anti-aircraft guns fired at them.

"It's now..." as the order rang out, the hatch opened, and the smell of gunpowder mixed in the moist air was refreshing.

"Jump, go, go..." There was a hustle of uneasiness in the sound, because on the right, a dc-101 was shot on the right.

It was on fire and it became a flare, but that soon changed.

When he found himself on fire, the pilot began to break away from the formation and let the paratroopers leave as fast as possible.

But they were also separated from their destination.

The tense time did not end with the parachute jump. The first time after landing, Sergeant Oates, who was in charge of commanding the battle, felt the pressure.

A team of 500, with weapons and supplies.

But now there are only 100 people in front of him, no weapon boxes, no engineers.

That is to say, 80 percent of his troops and tool boxes have fallen to the damned, unknown wrong place.

As the wait went on, Sergeant Oates's face looked pale and uneasy, but he soon realized that there were still many people waiting for him.

There are two hours and 40 minutes left. If he does not destroy the fort, the landing will become a good Friday for the allies.

Oates led the troops forward, and the "paratroopers" who landed inland successfully attracted the German attention.

With the help of 100 men in his hands and the carelessness of the German army, Oates, who successfully arrived at the fort, fired the first shot of the landing battle.

As the most elite unit, the 101st division charged the fort.

Bullets fly past your ears, the world in front of you slows down, all the sounds start to go away, someone falls down, someone is shouting something.

It doesn't matter anymore, there's only one voice in your heart; go ahead and kill it.

After losing half of the men, Oates' forces took the first fort.

In the face of the German soldiers, the choice of smothering soldiers in the face of the German army's choice to suffocate in the body of the soldiers, and the burning of the soldiers in the face.

Then there's the second, the third

At half past five in the morning, the battle ended and all the fort was destroyed.To ensure that they were damaged to the fullest extent that they could not be repaired in a short time, Sgt. Oates ordered the bunker to be blown up.

Even if the cannons were not completely destroyed, the destroyed bunker access would have blocked any of their intentions.

Twenty minutes later, a huge fleet appeared on the sea.

As the sun rose and the line of sight became clear, the large fleet was finally exposed to the sight of the German army.

It was like a wall on the sea, a huge iron wall pressing on them from the sea.

The air began to get cloudy, fog rose all over the sea, and the allied fleet fired frantically at the beach.

They need to destroy obstacles and potential enemies as much as possible to make landing soldiers safer.

At the same time, give those hesitating young people confidence.

Most of them are only 18-20 years old, and they are good guys who were recruited in 41-43 years.

And now they may never be able to come back. This is such a bloody, brutal war.

If there is a goddess of war, then she must be a bitch raised in bichi

The plane skimmed over the top and continued inland after a round of bombing of the beach.

Their task was to go inland, delay possible reinforcements and create trouble for the German army.

For this landing, Eight Allied divisions were trained day and night for six months.

At the same time, the most elite U.S. 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions were trained, which was crueler than any training they had ever done before.

In actual combat training, the Allies even destroyed two cruisers and killed 7000 people because of negligence.

They thought they were well prepared, but when the beach was near, everyone realized that it was not enough.

After a bad sea trip, with seasickness, vomiting and fear, they were not welcomed by smiles, bread and milk, nor by coke, coffee or women.

Only the cold sea water and the breath of death came, accompanied by machine gun fire lethal hello.

The landing ship can't go straight to the beach, because there are obstacles ahead, it will only kill itself.

So they can only step on the cold sea water, bear the resistance of the tide, and rush forward against the speeding bullets.
