While the Allied and German artillery regiments were engaged in a fierce battle on Omaha Beach, a German commander named Colonel Frederick von was inspecting his defensive area.

Since the generals were fighting in the Rennes and Seine regions, Colonel Frederick von was the highest-ranking German commander in the defense area.

He had a battalion in and around the Church of Our Lady, a battalion in Sainte-Marie-de-Mont, and a battalion in Carentão as a reserve.

As the Allied C-47 roared through the air, Colonel Frederick von knew that Omaha's own artillery position had been lost and that it would not be long before the Allies would attack his defensive area.

Colonel Frederick von personally came to St. Mary de Mont and climbed to the top of the church tower 50 meters above the ground, and he was immediately greeted by the situation on Utah Beach.

In his telescope, Utah Beach was filled with Allied soldiers who were landing, densely packed, like crabs on the beach.

When he had arrived, the small villages around the church and the patched fields had been so peaceful and calm, in stark contrast to the noise of the Allies on Utah Beach.

Colonel Frederick von knew that a major battle was imminent, and he immediately returned from the tower to his Brecourt estate, where one of his battalions of artillery was deployed, totaling 12 105 mm cannons.

After returning to the manor, the military headquarters sent a telegram that the artillery position of a regiment on Omaha Beach had been forced into a fierce white-knuckle battle with the Allies, and the artillery regiment was completely annihilated.

Colonel Frederick Von, in order to avoid a repeat of his own artillery battalion, transferred the reserve battalion deployed at Carentan to assist in the defense.

At five o'clock in the morning, the soldiers of the independent company returned to the unit, and in addition to a few seriously wounded who had to leave the battlefield for medical treatment, and some soldiers who landed in other Allied units when they were airborne, the independent company still had 86 men, more than 30 of whom were wounded in the white-knuckle battle on Omaha Beach.

Many soldiers of Company E were separated during the parachute jump, such as Second Lieutenant Winters, who was supposed to land at St. Mary-de-Mont, but the German anti-aircraft shells hit their plane, forcing them to land on Omaha Beach.

At this time, there were probably more than 50 soldiers from E Company at Winters' side.

The performance of the Independent Company was evident to all, and Lieutenant Colonel Robert Cole reported the results of the Independent Company to the commander of the 101st Airborne Division, Major General William C. Leigh.

Major General William C. Leigh personally called Yan Zhi to praise the Independence Company for its pivotal role in the Omaha Beach landing, and he would report to the Allied High Command to commend the Chinese Independence Company.

The soldiers of all independent companies have been greatly boosted by morale, and it is the greatest honor of their lives to be able to show their prestige on the battlefield abroad, and it will go down in history!

After a little breakfast, Second Lieutenant Winters was sitting with Yan Zhi smoking cigarettes, and after the military doctor had treated the wounds of the lightly wounded and taken some anti-inflammatory drugs, Winters would lead his soldiers to meet at the company headquarters of Company E.

A moment later, just as Winters was about to stand up and lead the soldiers away, he was transferred from E Company to the battalion, and a non-commissioned officer who served as a personnel staff officer came over from the side of the road.

The man was George LaVineson, a good friend of Winters, who told Yan Zhi and Winters that about seven kilometers away there was a large French estate called Brecourt, which was garrisoned by a battalion of German infantry.

On the opposite side of this estate was a German artillery battalion with a total of 12 105-mm cannons, which was shelling Utah Beach, five kilometers away, inflicting heavy casualties on the Allied attacking forces.

The original intelligence reconnaissance resulted in a company of German artillery, but it was not until recently that it was discovered that the previous information was wrong, and the German army had placed the strength of an artillery battalion on the seashore.

The artillery battalion was in a semi-underground position in the bushes, and the eight 105-mm cannons were camouflaged with branches and leaves, leaving only four half-exposed, giving scouts the misleading belief that there were only four cannons there.

There were trenches and trenches between the positions of the two battalions arranged by the Germans, which meant that the soldiers of the artillery battalion could come to support the infantry battalion at any time through the trenches.

Colonel Synck, who had no troops to spare, ordered the separate company closest to the French estate of Brecourt and part of Company E to join forces and settle the German infantry battalion.

Colonel Xinke also said that in the future, he would try to send other troops to support.

The independent company of the missing major general and the more than fifty soldiers of Winters together could barely make up enough company for them to attack an infantry battalion, and they were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers.

However, at this time, the only troops that could be drawn out were some soldiers of the independent company and the E company.

Because their mission has basically been completed, and most of the other allied forces are still in a bitter battle.

After George Lavenxun left, Yan Zhi and Winters opened the map.

In order to attack this artillery battalion of the German army, it was necessary to overcome the German infantry battalion stationed in Brekul. This infantry battalion acted as a natural barrier, keeping their artillery battalion out of the Allied offensive line.

Sure enough, it's not his own child who doesn't feel distressed, Yan Zhi sighed secretly.

The Independence Company had been wounded in the Battle of Omaha Beach, and the wounded soldiers had not had time to recuperate before they were assigned to attack the tougher enemy.

In the Battle of Omaha Beach, the Independence Company attacked the opponent again, caught the opponent off guard, disrupted the opponent's deployment and won the battle.

It was already daytime, and the German infantry battalion stationed at the French estate in Brecourt had already set up a defensive formation.

Judging from the map, it is not that there is no chance to raid, but at this time it is already daytime, and there is a lack of cover for night, and it is very difficult for the independent company to make a surprise attack without knowing it.

In any case, the independent company is the only unit that China participated in the war when the Allied forces landed in Normandy, and the independent company represents China, and the better and more courageous the independent company is, the more it can bring encouragement to the war-torn Chinese military and civilians, and the world allies can be impressed by the Chinese.

For the next tough battle, Yan Zhi asked Second Lieutenant Winters to talk about his thoughts.

Second Lieutenant Winters believed that this battle would be a quick frontal attack, and that it would be necessary to place more strong fire points as close as possible to the enemy artillery battalion, and that all available machine-gun fire should be used.

On the front, the fire of the enemy's infantry battalion was suppressed with machine-gun fire, and when they were exhausted on the defensive, he and Yan Zhi each led a small detachment, inserted from both sides of the enemy, and quickly broke down their defensive line from the inside of the Germans.

On the map, the irregular shape of the German position, with seven of the surrounding bushes showing acute angles, provided many opportunities for the Independence Company to surprise the company.

Yan Zhi praised Winters for his very accurate analysis, and in terms of positional warfare, he was indeed inferior to Winters.
