"Damn it! The Americans have already landed, why haven't they fired yet! What are they doing! A little further back, in a business, a German colonel shouted angrily, "Telephone! Is the call connected? ”

"Colonel, the phone line is working, but no one answers!" The operator replied. Welcome to Reading //

"Hani, take your battalion and rush over immediately!" The colonel said that at the same time, he remembered the white fog that appeared before the secondary explosion of the bombs dropped by the American planes, so he quickly added, "Let's bring gas masks!" ”

The battalion commander, Hani, stood up silently, saluted like a colonel, and walked out. In a few moments, the Colonel saw Haney running down the traffic trench with a few hundred men towards the front line.

……

"Quick, quick!" Captain Miller, now on the beach, brandished his Chicago typewriter and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "We're going to rush before the enemy reacts!" Then he stepped on the sand, which had been completely turned over by naval shells, and rushed towards the slope. The Germans had planted a number of mines on the slopes, but they were no longer a threat. During more than two hours of shelling, the Navy ploughed the place over and over again with artillery. Those minefields have long been cleared by this crazy shelling.

Climbing up the steep slope without any obstacles, Miller and his company rushed into the German trenches. Following the trench, they came to a pillbox. The iron door of the pillbox was open, and a German soldier fell by the door. It was quiet inside the bunker. Although at the preparatory meeting on the night before the landing, Miller and the others already had some understanding of the effectiveness of the Air Force's fuel-air bombs, and also knew that such bombs could create a considerable area of oxygen-free and directly cause the enemy to suffocate to death. At first, Miller, like everyone else, was skeptical about the bomb's effectiveness. However, the smooth rush into the opponent's communication trench along the way seems to prove from the side that this bomb has such a ability, otherwise why wouldn't the enemy fight back?

However, out of an abundance of caution, Miller glanced at Tommy, who was following him, and threw a grenade into it. Before the sound of the grenade explosion had subsided, Miller and Tommy rushed in with Thompson. The smoke of the explosion had cleared, and Miller's eyes widened at what he saw.

Seven or eight German corpses lay in the bunker. There were no obvious scars on their bodies, just their mouths wide open, their eyes wide open, their eyes bulging outward, almost bursting out of their sockets. They also clutched their hands tightly to their throats, and Miller saw that the Germans had blood on their hands, and it looked as if they were trying to scratch their throats so that they could catch their breath.

"It's terrible!" Miller only felt a chill down his spine, "I bought a watch last year!" If it were Lao Tzu, he would rather shoot himself in the head! ”

Although there was an oxygen tube under his nose that led to a small oxygen cylinder that guaranteed 20 minutes of gas volume, Miller still felt a little choked. He walked over to the shè hole in the bunker and looked out. From here you can clearly see the beachhead not far away. There were also many soldiers jumping from their landing craft into waist-deep water, and then they were swaying like a flock of ducks towards the beach.

"If I were a German, and I set up a machine gun and slammed it at them, how many people would I have killed...... the thought made Miller frightened for a moment, and he quickly shook his head violently, as if trying to shake this terrible thought out of his head. It's good that there are such bombs, and it's good that these Germans are all dead! God bless America. Miller thought.

"Captain! The Germans are coming up! Sergeant Bill shouted from outside the bunker.

Miller hurried out, and they saw that more than two hundred meters away, a large group of German soldiers was rushing towards this side along the communication trench.

"Steady, don't fire, wait for them to get closer!"

Miller knew that the oxygen levels were gradually recovering due to the strong winds, but in any case, the oxygen levels were still much lower than normal. "Put them in the oxygen-deficient zone first, and then ......," Miller smiled wickedly.

……

Hani led the soldiers towards the forward bunker group, and after only running more than 300 meters, he felt a little out of breath. His heart was pounding, as if it was about to jump out of his chest, and his legs were starting to go a little limp.

"What's wrong with me? After only running a few steps, you are tired like this? Although he felt strange in his heart, the situation was urgent, and Hani didn't care about it, so he gritted his teeth and ran forward.

Gritting his teeth, Hani ran more than twenty steps, and at this time, he only felt that his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground. He desperately opened his mouth wide and gasped, but he still couldn't breathe, and the scene in front of him began to blacken. Vaguely, he saw that someone seemed to be rushing in front of him, and he tried hard to lift the MP-43 assault rifle in his hand, but at this time, the gun was so heavy that he couldn't lift it with all his strength. Then he fainted as soon as it went dark.

……

By the time Miller and his men attacked the Germans, the Germans could barely move due to lack of oxygen. Miller managed to capture hundreds of Germans at the cost of one wound. At this time, the oxygen level in the air began to gradually recover, and some German soldiers who had fallen into a coma began to gradually wake up. By this time, however, they had become prisoners at gunpoint.

Miller herded the captured Germans into a large bunker, and the first attempt by the Germans to retake the beachhead ended in failure. Now, more American soldiers have arrived here, and the beachhead has been stabilized. The next step is to break through in depth. However, this still has to wait, first, for some heavier equipment to come ashore, and second, for the attack planes of the 21st Attack Aircraft Wing to return to load bombs.

But that doesn't mean they can do nothing.

"Miller, do you see that one over there? According to aviation reconnaissance, there was a 6-inch gun position of the Germans there. Take your man and go and finish him off. A lieutenant colonel said to Miller.

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Lawrence!" Miller replied immediately, then he turned and began to greet his soldiers, "Alright, Tommy, Stoker, take your platoon, we have a mission." ”

Tommy put down the MP-43 he was fiddling with, picked up his Thompson, and stood up.

……

On the command ship, Ron lowered the telescope in his hand. Just now, he had clearly seen that the American soldiers had succeeded in taking control of the vital forts almost without any fighting. Now, it's certain that the bloody river of Ohama Beach in history won't happen again. Of course, this may mean that the chances of this beach appearing in war movies in the future will be greatly reduced.

At this moment, Ron's adjutant Scott came over: "General, the British are in trouble, they have encountered German tanks. ”

"Where? How's it going? Ron said, turning and walking into the operations command room.

"On the west side of Sword Beach. The guns of the ships were out of reach in that place. ”

"Where are our planes?" By this time, Ron had already walked in front of the sea map.

"Our eight attack aircraft at the beach of Baojian have dropped all their ammunition and are on their way back. The situation is approximately comparable at other beaches. However, our two newly created squadrons of attack aircraft have already arrived as planned, and will be there in about ten minutes. ”

"Very well, order, all the aircraft of the 32nd Squadron with anti-tank weapons are concentrated on Sword Beach to support the British in the fight. Be careful, beware of accidental injuries! See clearly and then fight. Ron ordered.

Ron knew that before his crossing, until the twenty-first century, with the common data link of the three services, accidental injuries were a common occurrence in direct air-to-ground fire support. And between coalition forces of different countries, the chance of accidental injury will be higher. It's like during the first Gulf War, the soldiers of the British Seventh Panzer Division once said that they were not afraid of the T-72, they were afraid of the pigs. The best T-72 tank of the Iraqis is also far from being the match for the Challenger tank of the British, but if a group of A-10 attack planes of American allies fly in the sky, all British armored troops will involuntarily pray to God. Because, in this war, the casualties inflicted by the enemy on the 7th Panzer Division were not even as many as those brought by the A-10 Juzhu attack aircraft that accidentally hit the friendly army. And in this day and age, the odds are only higher.

In particular, the British also had tanks on the beach of Swords. If you are not careful, the German tanks will be unlucky, but the British tanks will also be unlucky.

……

At Sword Beach, the British had taken control of most of the beachhead, but were confronted by the German 21st Tank Division as they advanced west and attempted to join up with the Canadian troops who had landed on Juno Beach.

In fact, the German 21st Panzer Division is a veteran unit, which has fought many battles in North Africa and the British and American allies. But the current forces do not seem to be taken seriously, as can be seen from the tanks they are equipped with. At the moment, they are not equipped with enough of the best tank, which is only tank No. 4. The entire 21st Panzer Division did not even have a single Tiger or Leopard.

Moreover, because of the Germans' mistake in the weather forecast, the commander of the 21st Panzer Division took advantage of this gap to go to Paris to relax, and even worse, he actually took many officers with him. So now, the resistance of the 21st Panzer Division was just a spontaneous resistance, and to be honest, the threat to the British was not too great.

It's just that these tanks of the 21st Panzer Division are in a really good position. They were in a position where the ship's guns could not reach it, relying on the fortifications to organize the defense, and successively repelled the repeated attacks of the British. At present, the man-made port has not yet been installed, and the British army, with limited heavy weapons, has to rely on the support of air power if they want to break through their defensive positions.
