Admiral Marquez's artillery general's name is more or less familiar, yes, he is one of Rommel's important staff officers in the North African campaign in 1941, and it can also be said that Rommel's henchman is an excellent German artillery general, a German Oak Leaf Knight Cross winner, and the command is a first-class general, which also explains why the German 84th Army was able to play in the critical early stage of the Normandy War, giving people a feeling of the main force. It was an honor for the people of the Korean Peninsula, both on the German side and in the Allied camp, to be able to participate in such a historic battle, whether they were Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Georgians, or Koreans, who had seen a scene that their forefathers had never experienced and would never have had the opportunity to experience again.

On June 6, 1944, the Allies launched the world-famous Normandy landings. In the first 24 hours of the landing, most of the Nazi soldiers encountered by the Allies were not purely Germans, but from a large number of mysterious "Eastern Battalions", most of which were Central Asian and Caucasian soldiers captured by the German invasion of the Soviet Union. What is even more interesting is that the 709th Oriental Battalion under the 630th Coastal Infantry Division of the German Wehrmacht is an exception, and this battalion actually has a "Japanese Independent Division" in it.

In 1941, Hiroshi Oshima, the Japanese ambassador to Nazi Germany, proposed to his old friend Joachim von Ribbentrop (Nazi Foreign Minister) that Japanese expatriates in Europe be recruited to form a formed Japanese army to cooperate with the German army. Hiroshi Oshima was a complete "Nazi", and in the thirties of the 20th century, the American journalist William Scheiler described him as "a man who is more Nazi than Nazi". Hiroshi Oshima's idea was supported by Ribbentrop, and through Ribbentrop's mediation, Hitler authorized the Wehrmacht to negotiate with Hiroshi Oshima about the formation of troops

After Hiroshi Oshima reported to Tokyo for approval, he appointed his subordinate Captain Nobue Matsuda as the commander of the 18,000-strong standard infantry wing (i.e., a regimental combat unit). In December 1941, the Infantry Wing was formally formed. The Japanese were sent by the Germans to a training camp in Poland, where they completed their training in the spring of 1942 and were subsequently integrated into the Wehrmacht.

In May 1942, the German Wehrmacht sent the "Japanese army" to the Brittany area of France, and officially gave it the title of the 3rd Company of the 630th Oriental Battalion of the 709th Coastal Defense Infantry Division of the German Wehrmacht, commonly known as the "Japanese Company". Japanese Army Captain Nobue Matsuda was awarded the rank of Captain in the Wehrmacht as a company commander, which consisted of three platoons. Rarely, officers were allowed to carry Japanese sabers, a unique feature in the history of the Wehrmacht.

The "Japanese regiment" stayed in Brittany for nearly half a year, and in December 1942 it was transferred to Normandy with the 709th Coastal Infantry Division. To be sure, this division belonged to the third-rate units of the German army, and most of the officers and men were wounded soldiers, old men, new recruits, chronically ill people, and Allied prisoners of war who had rebelled on the Eastern Front.

The defensive area of the 709th Coastal Infantry Division included Utah Beach, where American troops later landed, and the airdrop area of the American Airborne Forces. In addition to the "Japanese regiment", the 709th Coastal Defense Infantry Division contained a number of miscellaneous "Eastern Forces", mainly composed of Polish laborers, Chinese police units, the Northern Army and Soviet prisoners of war, and the 630th Oriental Battalion, where the "Japanese regiment" was located, was assigned to the 919th Grenadier Regiment. In December 1943, Major General Karl-Wilhelm von Schlieben was transferred from the Eastern Front to Normandy to take command of the 709th Coastal Infantry Division. Schleeben, who had fought on the Eastern Front for two and a half years and accumulated a wealth of combat experience, readjusted the division's defense as soon as he took office, transferring the "Japanese regiment" to Utah Beach, where the Allies were most likely to land.

It is worth mentioning that in February 1945, Hiroshi Oshima went to the "Atlantic Barrier" to inspect and specially visited the "Japanese Regiment". Nobue Matsuda gave Hiroshi Oshima a detailed description of the military deployment of the 709th Coastal Defense Infantry Division, including the station, personnel, and weapon disposition, as well as the location of anti-tank trenches and batteries. Having obtained such a wealth of information on the ground, Hiroshi Oshima wrote a 20-page report and eagerly asked Tokyo for credit with the code that had already been deciphered by the Allies, and of course this extremely valuable information fell into the hands of the Allies halfway through.

Since there was no fighting on the Western Front, the German headquarters transferred some units of the 709th Coastal Defense Infantry Division to fight on the Eastern Front, while the "Japanese Regiment" continued to garrison Utah Beach, and the end of this force was approaching.

On June 6, 1945, Allied forces landed in Normandy, with the U.S. 4th Infantry Division landing on Utah Beach. The "Japanese regiment" was at first somewhat overwhelmed by the sudden landing of American troops, and fought and withdrew under the command of Nobue Matsuda. However, the next day, the "Japanese Company" fell into the roundabout encirclement of the 4th Infantry Division of the US Army, and in order to break through, Matsuda Nobue brandished a Japanese sword and rushed to the US position with 100 men. Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr., assistant commander of the 4th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army, observed the battlefield with a telescope and said to Lieutenant Colonel Conrad Simmons, "How did these dog mongrels swim here from the Pacific Ocean?!" ”

After the Japanese regiment was disabled, Li Ming then transferred a large number of prisoners from Southeast Asia to form the 1st Division, 2nd Division, 3rd Division of the Japanese Army in Normandy, the 55th Wing and the 47th Wing of the 8th Field Artillery Division of the Japanese Allied Army, the 3rd Brigade and the 7th Brigade of the Japanese Kwantung Army Air Force, the 3rd Mortar Wing of the Japanese Allied Army, the 1st Group Army of the Northern Revolutionary Army, the 17th Division and the 23rd Division of the Northern Police Force, the 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment and the 4th Regiment of the Zhang Jinghui Security Regiment, Wang Jingwei The First Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the Second Group Army, the First Special Service Brigade, and the Third Brigade, 10 brigades of the European encirclement and suppression team, commanded by Wang Jingwei.

There were hundreds of thousands of troops in Normandy, not counting the revolutionary army, the regular German troops, the artillery units, and other front-line units of the revolutionary army stationed around, and there were at least 8 million SS troops on the periphery of Germany after the Battle of Berlin in history, not counting the assisting troops of other countries。。。。。。。。。。

On June 7th, the Allies continued to attack, the ** on the sea continued to explode, the Allies followed the clockwork as fiercely attacked even to a state of madness, the sea artillery fire continued, Li Ming ordered to fight fiercely, do not let go of a ship over, under the Normandy bunker Li Ming set up the captured French 5000 tanks, the firepower did not have to say that it was almost impossible for the Allies to go ashore from here. The middle turrets are all heavy machine guns of the Japanese Allied Army, blocking the heavy artillery of the upper revolutionary army. Bazooka positions, anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, radar bases.

The battle was extremely hard and tragic, the Allied bomber 92 brigade after 75 days of tragic bombing, paid more than 7,000 planes to sink the German army and finally blew up the Normandy landing barrier, the British and French forces continued to attack, but did not take advantage of it at all, the British army, the US army as long as it came up to the ground is **, most of the tanks were mortars, heavy artillery hit into scrap metal, these ** formations led to tens of thousands of Canadian casualties, The special squad of the most secretive northern sniper unit deployed near Normandy has been deployed here in the past few days, and there are also wolf tooth special forces, anti-explosion brigades, police special brigades, and jungle special brigades lying in ambush around.

Li Ming deployed these troops in order to prevent the British, American and Canadian airborne troops from sneaking up on the Normandy position, set up radar infrared around it, as soon as the enemy aircraft airborne troops were found, they immediately reported that they opened fire, and a large number of special forces began to be deployed around, on June 8, the heavy artillery of the British, French and American coalition forces began to bombard the Normandy position, the positions were all reinforced concrete fortifications and there was nothing at all, the British, French and American coalition forces have been crazy these days to drop 5,000 tons of high-explosive ** to Normandy ** position, the tightrope of the position, the blockade net was basically blown up, So much** is equivalent to the sum of the two World War I, it's okay that the U.S. military has money。。。。。。。。。。

The heavy machine guns, light machine guns, rocket launchers, rocket launchers of the coalition army, still keep firing, there are constantly British soldiers who make bullets into a sieve, Churchill scolded Alexander, you are a piece of waste for so many days, why haven't you taken the position, the general German position is very fierce, don't make excuses, you don't have the fucking ability to make excuses, I'll give you another chance If you can't capture this position in 10 days or 7 days, you don't have to be this commander, I heard before that you led 1.5 million troops in Myitkyina, Can't stop the Japanese army.,No.,It's left without exchanging fire with the Japanese army.,The general wasn't your order at the beginning.,Said to flee.。。 Don't shut up, it's right that I gave the order, and now I'll let you conquer it for me, wash away the shame of my British Empire, understand? The troops here are all yours to move.

Alexander's face was red, and he was typically angry and didn't dare to speak, and when he arrived at the headquarters, his colleagues greeted him, and Alexander was no longer in a state, and then lit a cigar and smoked it, and told the soldiers to take the wine, and the soldiers took champagne, white wine, and soda, the general should not be angry, hey, the position can't be taken down, and the pressure is great! General Alexander drank some wine with his subordinates, and at this time Churchill and Roosevelt also came! Also drink a little wine, the generals and soldiers are all standing up, and it is okay to drink some wine to reduce stress.

After drinking, General Alexander convened a meeting of officers above the company level to discuss tomorrow's battle plan, the generals' task tomorrow is very heavy, and now we must break through other people's positions, so the Führer asks me, I ask you to obey unconditionally, tomorrow all troops will begin to attack the German positions near Normandy according to the planned route, now I organize personnel to set up a supervision team, no one can retreat, those who retreat are ruthless, I hope you will remember for me, okay, good, at this time Churchill walked in with a smile, The meeting continued, and Churchill and Roosevelt were in another room discussing the formation of a landing plan for the Airborne Forces.
