The Japanese are still fighting the Americans in Australia, and the United States is also really angry this time, they know very well that after the loss of Australia, the next thing is Hawaii, and then the United States.

The U.S. government kept lobbying the Chinese government in the hope of joining the war against Japan, and for this reason they could be said to have acted with reason and emotion, and finally even said that they would give the Philippines and Indonesia to China after defeating the Japanese.

China's original pro-American people are also very excited about this, but Chiang Kai-shek doesn't buy it, Mao Weiguo doesn't buy it, Wang Hanzhang naturally doesn't buy it, for everyone, it's just a matter of time, so if the three of them don't nod, others can't do what they want.

The Americans smell a hint of danger from this, and the Chinese side has been migrating to the north to transport troops and supplies, because the movement is too big, and the large-scale immigration and large-scale construction itself requires a large amount of materials, equipment and personnel, and even if a large number of soldiers are transported, it is difficult to be detected.

The Soviet Union did not think that there was no war on the Eastern Front because of the return of the Outer Khingan Mountains area, and the Soviet Union gathered 2 million troops on the line from Xinjiang to Outer Mongolia, one is to resist the attack of the first squadron, and the other is to attack Xinjiang, Outer Mongolia and even Northeast China in the future.

The Soviets, under Stalin's orders, also urgently built permanent fortifications, and a large number of guns were distributed to civilian adult men.

However, although China did not attack the Soviet Union, it greatly restrained the Soviet Union's troops, and a large number of men were conscripted into the army, resulting in no production in factories, in short, the impact is immeasurable, Stalin can only silently pray that China will not attack this year,

In June 1944, Wang Hanzhang originally planned to attack the Soviet Union this month, but because many things could not be prepared, the war had to be postponed.

And as the situation became more and more unfavorable to the allies, the signs of the Chinese alliance became more and more inclined to Germany, and the allies smelled something unusual, although Japan was very fierce in the Pacific, but since the implementation of the Indian bacteriological plan was surprisingly good, they were not in danger on the Indian side, so they were able to transfer half of their troops to the British mainland,

The proposal to counterattack the European continent has existed for a long time, but it has not been finalized at the Tehran meeting in January this year, which is also a helpless move by the allies, they have thought that China is so important, they used to think that China is dispensable, but after China is really not among the allies, they found out how important China is.

In addition to the strategic needs of agreeing to the counteroffensive this time, it is also to deter the Chinese League, and they are worried that if it drags on, the Chinese League will really join the German side.

After the Tehran Conference, in February 1944, the Anglo-American Joint Chiefs of Staff approved the outline of the "Overlord" plan and the revised battle plan developed a year earlier, but the demand for landing ships also increased, and in order to ensure that there were enough landing ships, the Anglo-American Joint Chiefs of Staff decided to postpone the landing date to early June, and the landing in southern France that was originally scheduled to be the same time until August,

Due to the postponement of the landing day (codenamed D-Day) to the beginning of June, the Allied High Command began to determine the specific date and time, which was a complex coordination issue, with each branch of the army making different requirements according to its own needs, and the army required to land on ** to reduce the time the troops were exposed to the beach; The Navy demanded to go ashore at low tide in order to minimize damage to the landing craft by obstacles; The Air Force requires moonlight, which is convenient for the airborne troops to identify ground targets, and finally, after careful consideration, scientifically formulates a plan that conforms to the various branches of the military, and lands between ** and low tide, because the tides of the five beachheads are not the same, so five different landing moments (code H time) are stipulated, and the D day is arranged on the day of the full moon, and the airborne landing time is one o'clock in the morning, and the landing date that meets the above conditions is only two sets of consecutive three days in June 1944, June 5 to 7, June 18 to 20, Finally, the first day of the first group, June 5,

The purpose of the campaign was to cross the English Channel, seize a strategic landing field in northern France, and create conditions for the opening of a second European theater of operations and finally defeat Germany, the campaign attempt was to land in Normandy, seize the landing field, and on the 12th day of the landing, expand the landing field to a width of 100 kilometers and a depth of 100 kilometers, and plan to parachute two American paratroop divisions on the right flank of the landing field to cut off the German reinforcements from Cherbourg, and cooperate with the landing force to seize the "Utah" beachhead and parachute one British paratroop division on the left flank, Seize the crossing point of the Conn Canal, then the first 8 reinforced battalions land on 5 beachheads, establish landing grounds, after consolidating and enlarging the landing grounds, the follow-up troops go ashore, the right flank first captures Cherbourg, and the left flank develops to the line from the Conn River to Saint-Rolle, covering the attack of the right flank troops; In the second stage, he captured Okana, Bayeux, Izigny, and Carentine, and in the third stage, he captured Bretagny, advanced towards the Seine, and took Paris,

In order to be able to carry out the plan smoothly, the Allies carried out strategic deception against Germany, which made the German high command misjudge, not only to ensure the suddenness of the landing operation, but also to ensure the smooth progress of the campaign, which had a major impact on the entire campaign

A series of measures such as the build-up of camouflage troops and ships in the southeast, as well as the fact that General Patton made a pre-war speech in Britain, coupled with strict secrecy measures, made the German high command misjudge the location and time of the Allied landing for a long time, thinking that the Allied forces would land on Calais Beach northeast of Normandy, and even after the Allied landing in Normandy, they still considered it a diversionary feint, which led to the waste of most of the German troops and weapons on the Western Front in the Calais area. In Normandy, due to the lack of troops, he could not resist the landing of the Allied army, and at the same time, he also found a person who looked very similar to Montgomery, James pretended to be Montgomery in North Africa, making Rommel think that Montgomery had been in North Africa.

There is also realistic training before the war, because the landing operation is an extremely complex combat style, the Allied forces conducted repeated and many simulated exercises similar to actual combat on the organization and actions of the participating troops before the landing, so that the troops can master the relevant combat skills as soon as possible and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.

In order to carry out this large-scale campaign, the Allies gathered a total of up to 2.88 million troops, the army had a total of 36 divisions, including 23 infantry divisions, 10 armored divisions, 3 airborne divisions, about 1.53 million people, and the navy put into operation about 5,300 warships, including 13 battleships, 47 cruisers, 134 destroyers, about 1,200 combat ships, 4,126 landing ships, and more than 5,000 transport ships, 13,700 air force combat aircraft, including 5,800 bombers, 4,900 fighters and 3,000 transport planes and gliders, for which the Allied air raids changed from bombing Germany's industrial areas to bombing Germany's lines of communication (later according to German records, due to the Allied bombing of Germany, the progress of building Atlantic fortresses was repeatedly slowed down, and even some workers who built Atlantic fortresses were forced to build railroads) On the eve of D-Day, these bombers bombed the beach defenses, but these bombings did not play a role due to the mistakes of the pathfinders, U.S. Army General Dwight D. Eisenhower was appointed Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe.

The allies organized the navy into two special mixed fleets: the Western Fleet, mainly composed of U.S. ** ships, a total of 3 battleships, 10 cruisers, 30 destroyers, 280 other warships, more than 1,700 landing ships, commanded by U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Kirk, assembled in Belfast, provided air cover by the 9th Air Force of the U.S. Tactical Air Force, under the jurisdiction of 3 formations: U Formation is responsible for transporting the U.S. 4th Infantry Division to land on the Utah beachhead, and O Formation is responsible for transporting the U.S. 1st Infantry Division to land on the Omaha beachhead, Formation B was responsible for transporting the U.S. 29th Infantry Division to land on the Omaha beachhead,

The Eastern Fleet, mainly composed of British ** ships, a total of 3 battleships, 13 cruisers, 30 destroyers, 302 other warships, 2426 landing ships, commanded by British Rear Admiral Vian, assembled in Glenok, provided air cover by the 2nd Air Force of the British Tactical Air Force, under the jurisdiction of 4 formations: G Formation is responsible for transporting the British 50th Infantry Division to land at the Golden Beachhead, and J Formation is responsible for transporting the Canadian 3rd Infantry Division to land at the Juno Beachhead, S formation was responsible for transporting the British 3rd Infantry Division for landing at the Sword beachhead, and L formation was responsible for transporting the second echelon of the British 7th Armored Division for landing at the Golden Beachhead,

The Navy also formed five naval artillery fire support groups with 7 battleships, 2 shallow water gunboats, 24 cruisers, and 74 destroyers to provide naval gun fire support for five beachheads.

At the same time, on the German side, at this time they had 179 divisions and 5 brigades in the Soviet theater on the Eastern Front, accounting for about 65% of the total strength of the German army, but on the Western Front, in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, there were only 59 divisions under the command of Field Marshal Rundstedt, Commander-in-Chief of the Western Front, including 33 coastal defense divisions, 15 infantry divisions, 8 armored divisions, and 2 paratrooper divisions, even if you add the 2 armored divisions of the strategic reserve commanded by Hitler himself, there are only 60 divisions in total, about 760,000 people,

The 58 divisions under the Western Front Command are organized into two army groups, a total of four army groups, Army Group B is commanded by Field Marshal Rommel, stationed in northern France, a total of 39 divisions are the main force of the German army on the Western Front, under the jurisdiction of the 15th Army, the commander is General Salmut, stationed in Calais, with a total of 23 divisions including 14 coastal defense divisions, 4 infantry divisions, and 5 armored divisions; The 7th Army, commanded by General Dorman, is stationed in the Brittany Peninsula, with a total of 14 divisions including 8 coastal defense divisions, 5 infantry divisions, and 1 armored division, Army Group G, commanded by General Blaskovitz, stationed in the area west of the Loire River in France, with a total of 19 divisions, under the jurisdiction of the 1st Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Chevaleri, stationed in Belgium, a total of 10 divisions; The 19th Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Sondstein, was stationed in southern France, with a total of 9 divisions,

The huge difference in troops, coupled with the inaccurate intelligence, Wang Hanzhang didn't say it, I'm afraid that the Germans will be beaten this time.
