The German armored forces on the Western Front had a total of 10 panzer divisions and 3 heavy tank battalions, of which 6 pantry divisions were under the personal command of Hitler, and the German high command considered tanks unsuitable for use on the beach, so the armored forces deployed in the area near the beach were only the 21st Panzer Division in Caen, with only 127 tank No. 4 and 40 Type III self-propelled tank assault guns.

The navy has 5 destroyers, 52 submarines, 16 ocean-going minesweepers, 116 patrol ships, 309 minesweepers, 34 torpedo boats, and 42 gunboats, a total of only 561 small and medium-sized warships, and the strength is very weak.

The Air Force is the 3rd Air Force, with about 450 combat aircraft, including 160 fighters, which is at an absolute disadvantage of 1:30 compared with the number of Allied combat aircraft, and the defenders in the Normandy area are 6 divisions and 3 regiments belonging to the 7th Army, including 3 coastal defense divisions, and their combat effectiveness is weak; 2 infantry divisions, 1 armored division, slightly stronger combat effectiveness; The 3 regiments are 2 independent infantry regiments and 1 paratrooper regiment, with a total strength of about 90,000 people, and the fortifications are relatively weak, only a number of independent support points of reinforced concrete have been constructed, most of the fortifications are field fortifications, and only a small number of anti-aircraft landing obstacles are set up in depth, in March 1944, the German armored forces deployed in France have only one full armored division, that is, the 21st Panzer Division, Hitler judged in April 1944 that Normandy would be the landing site of the Allied forces, and asked for additional troops, Rommel according to this instruction, The 352nd Infantry Division, which was originally stationed in Saint-Lo, was transferred to Normandy, and it was this newly transferred elite division that brought disaster to the American troops on the "Omaha" beachhead.

Wang Hanzhang also learned about the movements of the allies according to the intelligence, but he has been hesitant to remind Germany that although history has changed a lot, the Normandy campaign has not changed, and the changed battle has returned to the trajectory of history, but the purpose of this campaign is one more, that is, to knock the mountain and shake the tiger, so that the Chinese League does not want to take the opportunity to attack the territory of the allies of the Soviet Union or Iran,

In the early morning of June 6, the British 1st Airborne Division and the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions of the US Army landed behind Normandy.

Airdropped to the left flank of the landing area, their goal was to capture the bridges near the Pegasusbridge to prevent the German armored forces from going to the coast for support, the paratroopers quickly captured these bridges and managed to control them until the landing commandos arrived later that day, and the goal of this operation also included the capture of the bunker at Melville, although the bunker was not destroyed, but after the battle, all but 6 people in the bunker were killed and wounded,

In contrast, the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions of the US Army were not so lucky, due to the inexperienced navigators and the complicated situation on the ground, coupled with the interception of enemy artillery fire, the troops were scattered everywhere, some paratroopers unfortunately landed in the sea or inland in those low-lying areas that were deliberately flooded by the Germans, many of them were drowned in knee-deep water due to heavy equipment, and after 24 hours, the 101st Division only gathered about 3,000 men, but, from the overall strategic point of view, the Allies can be said to be a blessing in disguise, The paratroopers were dropped throughout Normandy, which plunged the German army into chaos, and the paratroopers fought separately, dispersing the German forces and achieving great success, and they made the German commanders greatly overestimate the number of paratroopers, mobilized more unnecessary forces, and largely dispersed the pressure on the beach landing grounds, and many people remained alone behind enemy lines for many days after the D day, and the 82nd Division occupied Saint-Mel-Agriss on the morning of the 6th, and this town became the first town in the whole of France to be liberated,

Although there were many problems in the airborne, a large number of airborne troops put the German army in a panic, and the German army could not know how many Allied airborne troops landed, and the Allied airborne troops also seized vital transportation hubs, bridges, and beaches in the initial time, destroyed many German artillery positions, destroyed the stability of the German defense, pinned down the German reserves, put the German army in a passive situation, and created conditions for the victory of the landing.

At 6:30 a.m. on June 6, a large Allied fleet of aircraft repeatedly bombed the landing site, and the German planes quickly met the enemy, while the Allied landing force also quickly landed on five pre-selected beaches.

The landing of the Allied forces did not go well, although their strategic deception was very successful, but how could the Germans be easy to provoke, although the strength was far less than that of the Allied forces, but with many years of prestige, the Allied forces suffered a lot,

However, although the Allied army has checked a lot more than the German army, he still has a guy who is hanging, that is, weapons and equipment, the Allies put in 2,500 planes on the day of landing, while the Germans only have about 400 aircraft, and the Allies have a large number of aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers and destroyers participating in the battle.

The small number of German forces was vulnerable to the blows of the giant ships' cannons, and they were quickly routed, and the Allies were able to quickly seize the beachhead and expand the depth.

Only the 21st Panzer Division organized a counterattack on D-Day, but the division commander was not in the command post, and the chief of staff had no right to mobilize the assembled troops, so he had to dispose of only the German Panzer Corps

Some of the 24 No. 4 tanks were sent to attack the British army east of Caen, because of the haste of sortie, lack of preparation, and no infantry support, the British army was easily repulsed, that afternoon, the division commander Fichdinger rushed back to the division headquarters, gathered his troops to attack the town of Luke between Juno Beach and Sword Beach, when the Allies were still thousands of meters between the two beaches, the German counterattack was hitting the key point of the Allied forces, which would bring a lot of difficulties to the Allies, just as the 21st Panzer Division was on the march, The Allied 500 transport planes were flying overhead, transporting follow-up troops and supplies for the British 6th Airborne Division, and Fichdinger mistakenly believed that the Allied airborne paratroopers were trying to flank their own troops in front and rear, panicked and gave up the counterattack and hurriedly retreated, except that the Germans did not counterattack on Day D.

June 6, the twenty-four hours predicted by Rommel and the longest day in history as described by Eisenhower, passed peacefully.

Wang Hanzhang got the news of the Allied attack on Normandy on the same day, and when the news of the defeat of the German army came in the evening, Wang Hanzhang was a little entangled, he didn't know if what he was doing was right.

If you tell the Germans, then if Germany is ready, then the Allies will inevitably suffer heavy losses, after the defeat of the Allies, they may not be able to attack for a long time, at least not within the year, and the Soviet Union will definitely perish after the attack of China and Germany within the year, Wang Hanzhang is worried that once it borders with Germany, then there will be a lot of unexplained things, in case Germany wants to attack China, to be honest, a unified Europe is much stronger than the strength of the China League, Wang Hanzhang is worried, extremely worried,

What's more, they are still researching nuclear weapons, and the technology is already very mature, while Huameng is completely in the research and development stage, and no one knows when Huaxia will be able to research it.

Therefore, Wang Hanzhang can only hope that Germany and the Allies will fight to the death in Europe, but China will still attack the Soviet Union, and this scourge will definitely be removed, when the German army is killing the Soviet Union, and the Allies are fighting to the death on the Western Front, with the strong strength of Britain and the United States, and the experience of Dunkirk, it will be too difficult for the German army to drive them into the sea again.

However, the risk is that if the Allies advance rapidly, the German army will not have enough strength to kill the Soviet Union with the Chinese army, and the situation will be very bad after a long time.

Leaving the USSR behind is definitely a scourge, so the USSR must be killed, and it is acceptable to support one Russia at most,

On June 7, Hitler handed over the command of the five armored divisions of the Western Front Panzer Group to Rommel, who was determined to counterattack with this elite force, but in the face of the grim situation, he had to set the first goal of the counterattack to first prevent the Allies from connecting the five landing beaches into a complete landing field, and then secure Caen and Cherbourg, but unfortunately this armored force came from 100~200 kilometers away, and under the fierce air raids of the Allies along the way, it was impossible to put into combat as a formation, even if sporadic troops reached the beach, It also suffered heavy casualties under the bombardment of Allied warships, and lost its former majesty, so that the Germans were unable to launch a decisive large-scale counterattack during the entire day on June 7 under the absolute superior firepower of the Allied naval and air forces.

When the Allied forces landed on the beachhead and became a consolidated and unified landing ground, they developed inland according to the predetermined plan, and the US 1st Army captured Cherbourg and undertook the main attack; The British 2nd Army stormed Caen, creating the illusion of taking Paris directly as a feint,

Although the initial counterattack of the German army has failed, but is not willing to let the Allies develop, Rommel adjusted the deployment, used infantry to defend the line from Caen to Comon, and drew out armored troops to stop the attack of the American army by counterattack means, but before the new deployment was adjusted, the British army launched an offensive preemptively, disrupting the German army's plan, and effectively guaranteeing the American attack on Cherbourg.

On June 13, the British 7th Panzer Division advanced to Villebeauge, southwest of Caen, and encountered the German SS 2nd Panzer Division that was rushing from Amiens, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides, British personnel and tanks suffered heavy losses, and were forced to retreat, although the British offensive did not progress, but the German elite 2nd Panzer Division was attracted to the Caen area, creating conditions for the American offensive, when the American army occupied Carentin, the German army could not withdraw troops from the Caen area, so the SS 17th Panzer Division had to be urgently transferred from the Brittany Peninsula, Attacking the flanks of the American forces to eliminate the American threat to Cherbourg, the American forces fought fiercely, repelled the Germans, and took advantage of the victory to break through the German defenses in the Saint-Sauver area the next day, and finally captured Saint-Sauver on June 16.

According to Hitler's instructions, the four divisions in the area must make every effort to block the advance of the American army, and then fight and retreat to Cherbourg, holding Cherbourg to the death, Rommel clearly knew that these four divisions had been greatly consumed in the battle for several days, and they were no longer able to hold on to Cherbourg, even if they retreated to Cherbourg, at best, it would only make Cherbourg hold out for a few more days, so he asked Hitler to withdraw these troops directly to the Seine River to strengthen the defense of the Seine, but Hitler rejected his opinion, and when there were signs of a breakthrough in the Saint-Sauver area, Rommel ignored Hitler's instructions and decisively ordered all the troops who could be contacted to quickly retreat south, which saved many troops.
