"Gentlemen, the Germans thought that we would make the shortest journey from Dover to Calais, where they were most fortunate. ”

"We will surprise them by crossing the long channel to Normandy, and 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 statement, and now they are doing just that.

June 3rd, summer.

It was a terrible season, with the seas undulating, the rain pouring down and the boats swaying with the waves.

Not to mention the army, even some navies have seasickness, holding iron buckets and vomiting all day long.

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

According to forecasts, it will take two weeks for the tides in Normandy to subside.

The command issued an order to postpone the date of the battle, which also meant that the ships and soldiers needed to be adrift on the sea.

This was the worst-case scenario, and the entire Allied High Command was frustrated and chagrined, and perhaps the offensive would be thwarted by this.

In the end, some people made a prediction that the situation in Shanghai would improve on the evening of the 5th.

The visibility is higher, the rain is smaller, and there is enough time to launch an attack, which lasts for ......

Unknown.

No one knew where the gamble would go, and during the day on the 4th, Eisenhower even asked his secretary to prepare a post-defeat speech for him on a typewriter.

Or the last words, if he fails, he will bear the consequences of this gamble.

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

It was in such weather that sixteen DC-101 heavy transport aircraft carried the 82 and 101 airborne divisions to Masonl.

The Mason cannon, the biggest threat to the landing.

It was powerful enough to smash all of the Allied capital warships in a single shot, and it had a range that covered the entire Normandy Channel.

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

The mission of the Airborne Division was to destroy the batteries of Masonl, and there was not much time left for them, and in 3 hours the Army would attack from the sword stand.

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

They needed to distract the Germans, and after reaching the target and parachuting the airborne division, the transport would have the dummies disguised as paratroopers and land at another feint point.

They appeared smoothly over their targets, and the air currents on the sea made the flight a little bumpy.

With the first cannon shots, orange-orange fireworks appeared in the sky, and enemy anti-aircraft guns opened fire on them.

"It's now—" As the command sounded, the hatch opened, and the humid air mixed with the smell of gunpowder shook people's spirits.

"Jump, hurry, hurry, hurry......" urges the voice with urgency and unease, because just on the right, a DC-101 was shot on the right flank.

It became a flare when it was on fire, but this soon changed.

Finding themselves on fire, the pilots began to break away from the formation, while at the same time letting the paratroopers out as fast as they could.

However, they are also detached from their destination as a result.

The tense time did not end with the parachute jump, and it was only as soon as he landed that Sergeant AT&S, who was in charge of directing the battle, really felt the pressure.

A team of 500 people with weapon cases and supplies.

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

That means that 80 percent of his troops and toolboxes have fallen into the damned, nowhere to be found.

The wait continued, and Sergeant Otess's face looked pale and uneasy, but he soon realized that there were many more people counting on him.

There were 2 hours and 40 minutes left, and if he hadn't destroyed the battery by then, the landing would have turned into Good Friday.

O'Tess led his troops forward, and the 'paratroopers' who landed inland also managed to attract the attention of the Germans.

AT&S, who successfully arrived at the battery, fired the first shot of this landing battle with the 100 men in his hand and the carelessness of the German army.

A loud horn sounded, and the 101st Division, as the most elite unit, charged the battery.

Bullets flew past my ears, the world in front of me began to slow down, all the voices began to fade away, someone fell, someone shouted something.

None of this matters, there is only one voice in the heart: rush forward, kill it.

After losing half of their men, O'Eyes' troops took the first battery.

Faced with the German soldiers hiding in the bunker, they chose to use phospho-powder grenades, and the painful suffocation and burning from the body made some German soldiers choose to commit suicide.

Then came the second, and then the third......

At half past five in the morning, the battle ended, and all the batteries were destroyed.

To ensure that they were damaged enough to be repaired in the short term, Sergeant Otens ordered the bunker to be blown up.

Even if the cannon wasn't completely destroyed, the destroyed bunker passage would have been able to thwart any of their intentions.

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

As the sun rose and the line of sight cleared, the massive fleet was finally exposed to the obstructed sight of the Germans.

It was like a wall abruptly erected above the sea, and a huge iron wall pressed against them from the sea.

The air began to get muddy, a thick fog rose over the sea, and the Allied fleet frantically shelled the beach.

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

At the same time, give confidence to the lads who are hesitating.

Most of them are only 18~20 years old, and they are all great guys who were drafted in 41-43 years.

And now they may never come back, this damned, damned, brutal war.

If there really is a goddess of war, then she must be a slut raised by Bichi......

The planes skimmed overhead, continuing inland after a round of bombing of the beach.

Their mission was to go inland, delay possible reinforcements and cause problems for the Germans.

For this landing, eight Allied divisions were trained around the clock for six months.

Also being trained were the most elite American 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions, which were more brutal than any training they had done before.

During combat training, the Allies even inadvertently destroyed 2 cruisers and killed 7,000 people.

They thought they were ready for anything, but when the beach was close at hand, it became clear to everyone that it was not enough, that it was not enough.

After a terrible journey at sea, accompanied by seasickness, vomiting and fear, they were greeted not by smiles, bread and milk, nor by coke, nor by coke, nor by women.

Only the icy waters and the breath of death greeted him, accompanied by deadly greetings from machine-gun fire.

The landing ship could not rush directly to the beach, because the front was full of obstacles, and that would only be self-defeating.

So they could only step on the icy water, withstand the resistance of the waves, and rush forward against the speeding bullets.
