General Stryk immediately relayed Qin Chuan's suggestion to Rommel.

"Your Excellency, Marshal!" General Stryker reported: "The lieutenant colonel advised us to launch the offensive later, and he meant to wait until the Americans had occupied the 'Atlantic barrier'......"

Rommel pondered for a moment, then agreed: "Do as he says, General." He's right! ”

After putting down the phone, Rommel said to himself: "This guy is a ruthless character!" ”

So, the 21st Panzer Division waited in the bunker for another half an hour.

The reason why I had to wait for half an hour was not because of the resistance of the coastal defense division located in the pillbox fortifications, but because of the mutual probing between the American army and the German coastal defense division...... Although the German coastal defense division had long been frightened to the point that it was only the heart to surrender, surrender was also a technical job, and it was not something that could be done casually by rushing out and raising his hands, which would only make the nervous American GIs pull the trigger and send them to the western sky.

They had to stretch out the white flag first to reach a certain degree of tacit understanding with the US military, and then slowly go out to disarm.

Then, the "Utah Beach" resounded with cheers from the American soldiers, who became the first unit to break through the "Atlantic barrier."

Major General Jetton immediately reported the situation to Eisenhower, who was across the Channel.

"Yes, General!" Major General Jetton said excitedly on the walkie-talkie: "We only met with slight resistance, although the casualties have not yet been counted, but it is estimated that there are no more than two hundred, and a considerable part of them are injured by mines and obstacles!" Yes, everything went well! ”

Eisenhower nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Immediately attack the Brittany Peninsula and in depth as originally planned!" ”

"Yes, General!"

As soon as Eisenhower put down the phone, he said to Halke: "Your Excellency, it seems that our strategic deception has been successful, we have taken 'Utah Beach', and we are only ...... before the landing time."

Eisenhower looked at his watch and said, "In less than two hours, although the attacks in other directions have not gone so smoothly, I think they will improve with the victory of 'Utah Beach'!" ”

Halke secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a hanging heart slowly reassured. What he didn't tell Eisenhower was that he wasn't sure that the strategic deception scheme devised by British MI5 would be able to fool the Germans.

More precisely, Halque was unsure if he could fool the "legendary sergeant".

Eisenhower was right when he said that if the 4th Infantry Division continued to expand its gains, then the follow-up troops and supplies of the American army would continue to land at 'Utah Beach', and then the German shore defense forces would collapse like dominoes because of the attacks on the flanks and rear. At that time, the landing operation could be considered half the battle.

Major General Jetton thought the same thing, so he immediately ordered on the walkie-talkie: "Forward, 4th Infantry Division, the end of the Germans has arrived!" ”

Just as the U.S. soldiers were happily following the tank with their rifles and continuing to advance into the open area in front of them, they suddenly heard the sound of a "rumbling" tank motor in front of them.

"Enemy tank!" Someone shouted.

Because it is clear that the 4th Infantry Division landed only fifty "Sherman" tanks in total, and these fifty tanks were scattered on a frontage 15 kilometers wide, with an average of only 3-4 tanks per kilometer.

Such a small number of tanks would not be able to make such an earth-shattering motor sound.

But strangely, the American soldiers did not see any tanks, not a single one.

Of course, the tank walking in front did not notice this, so it continued to drive forward slowly, forcing the American soldiers to follow closely behind.

"Where are they?" Someone asked in a frightened voice.

"I don't know ......"

Before the words were finished, the answer was revealed, because the empty ground in front of which seemed to be nothing had slowly emerged with gun barrels pointing to the sky, and then the tracks, which were slammed down after a section because of the high slope, and then the whole tank appeared in front of the American troops...... One after another, densely packed as far as the eye could see, a whole armored division suddenly appeared in front of the 4th Infantry Division of the US Army.

Seeing this scene, Major General Jetton couldn't help but exclaim: "God, this is the German defense force, we have been fooled!" ”

In the next second, Major General Jetton ordered: "Retreat, retreat immediately!" Retreat to the defense line and organize defense! ”

Major General Jetton was right about this order, and the American army received many pillbox fortifications at the "Atlantic Barrier".

Although the shooting holes of these pillbox fortifications are facing the wrong direction, they can still be used as bunkers to build a defensive line, and the US troops also have anti-tank equipment "Bazooka" rocket launchers, with the fire support of "Sherman" tanks and fighters and warships in the air, it is still very likely to block the attack of the German armored division.

But this order should have been given at the moment when they occupied the "Atlantic rampart", by which time it was already too late......

Several "Tiger" tanks at the front of the team rushed forward with full horsepower, and the "Sherman" tanks hurriedly stopped their bodies and fired at them.

But in the midst of a "rumble", the "Tiger" tank continued unscathed.

"Retreat, retreat!" Lieutenant Colonel Davis, commander of the US tank battalion, after receiving the order, shouted a loud order over the radio: "Retreat to the line of ......"

But before Davis could give the order, he saw a Tiger tank in the commander's observation hole adjust the angle of the turret and aim the barrel of the black hole hole at it.

"Turn!" Lieutenant Colonel Davis hurriedly ordered: "We are targeted!" ”

No sooner had the driver made the steering maneuver than a shell whistled, and then with a "boom", the "Sherman" tank turned into a ball of fire.

When the "Tiger" tank blocked the first wave of shells and stopped firing to attract enemy fire, the "Leopard" and "No. 4" tanks that followed behind crossed the "Tiger" and entered the crowd of American troops.

All of a sudden, it was a massacre, whether it was tanks or American soldiers.

FOR THE AMERICAN TANK, THE PERFORMANCE OF THE "SHERMAN" IS STILL QUITE GOOD, WITH 76MM FRONTAL ARMOR AND 76MM CALIBER MAIN GUN, AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PERFORMANCE IS COMPARABLE TO THAT OF THE GERMAN "NO. 4" TANK.

The problem lies in the "Tiger" tanks in front of them.

This is a very awkward situation, if you desperately deal with the "Leopard" and "Four" that continue to approach, then they will become the target of the "Tiger". If you concentrate on dealing with the "tiger style...... In fact, they are also unable to cope with the "tiger style".

So in a word, they are targets. There is little hope of surviving.
