The main force of the German army carrying out the Sea Lion Plan came out from Cherbourg and Caen in France, passed through the Gulf of Seine and the Strait of Lajiche, and aimed directly at the direction of Portsmouth, Cape Portland, and Exeter in Britain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

For the Sea Lion Project, the German High Command prepared 2.8 million troops, and the navy prepared more than 3,900 ships, including five main aircraft carriers, six battleships, 50 cruisers, and 142 destroyers.

In addition, there are nearly 4,000 landing ships of various kinds, nearly 5,000 transport ships of various kinds, and more than 5,000 combat planes of the Air Force, including nearly 2,000 bombers and nearly 2,000 fighters, and then auxiliary aircraft such as transport planes and gliders.

Although the Germans succeeded in making the Anglo-American coalition misjudge the landing site of the Germans through various means, Hitler was still very worried after the action order was really issued, after all, this was not a land operation, and if something happened at sea, it really couldn't be saved.

"Twenty-four hours, as long as twenty-four hours, a day's time, you can wait for the judgment of fate......" Hitler frowned, and kept tapping his fingers on the table, which showed that his heart was extremely uneasy, because once the operation failed, it could even directly change the current good situation occupied by the German army. Therefore, this operation cannot afford to be missed.

"Führer, please be relieved, the Germans are all elites, and most of the elites of the British are consumed in Dunkelke, and the recruits now are completely unable to compete with the Germans. As for the American troops, who had just entered the war, they had not fought for many years, and for the German army, it was at the level of schoolchildren. So, our probability of success is very high. Wei Qidong comforted Hitler with facts.

In the past, Hitler felt that every time the German army carried out a major operation, Wei Qidong looked so calm and relaxed because Wei Qidong was Chinese and not German, even if the defeat of the German army had nothing to do with him Wei Qidong.

Later, it was proved again and again that this was not the case, Wei Qidong actually cared about the victory of the German army very much, and the reason why he was so calm was to a large extent because of his confidence in the German army.

And the final result is mostly as Wei Qidong expected.

This is not because Wei Qidong is really clever, but because he, a person in the future, has the advantage of foresight, he has studied World War II in depth, and has studied all aspects of the strength of the participating countries in each period.

There is no doubt that looking at the world at present, the comprehensive combat strength of the German army is definitely the most powerful, and the comprehensive strength of Germany is also one of the best, plus Wei Qidong, the general adviser, always provided Hitler with so much very reference information and current situation information, unless the German army made low-level mistakes or encountered an opponent with a huge disparity in strength. Otherwise, it is really not easy not to win the battle.

At the beginning of the German army's action, thousands of ships and ships of all kinds slowly set off from the port and spread all the way to the opposite Britain.

With such a huge operation of the German army, it was naturally impossible to hide from the Anglo-American coalition, and when they confirmed that the German army did not set out from Calais at all, but from the direction of Normandy, it was impossible to describe their mood as bad.

"Immediately mobilize all the troops that can be mobilized, and support them in the direction of Cape Portland, Exeter, etc., and ...... quickly" The British and American Allied High Command was completely panicked, they knew very well that once the German army set foot on British soil and gained a firm foothold, with Britain's narrow defensive depth, it would probably be difficult to stop the German army in the sky.

However, before the reinforcements of the British and American forces could begin to move, the huge German fleet of aircraft arrived over Britain first.

The German Air Force bombed two main targets, one was the defenders of the German landing sites such as Cape Portland and Exeter, and the other was to bomb the main lines of communication leading to this place from all directions.

As long as the line of communication is paralyzed, the Anglo-American coalition will have a lot of difficulties in terms of material supply and reinforcements, which will also buy a lot of time for the German landing force from the side.

In the face of the huge fleet of German aircraft, the number of planes available to the British and American coalition forces is really small, less than one-tenth of the German aircraft, and it is simply a mantis arm blocking the German fleet.

Although the naval battle fleet of the Anglo-American coalition is much stronger than the German army on the whole, modern warfare is no longer the model of soldier-to-soldier and general-to-general in the past, and now pays more attention to joint operations.

The Anglo-American coalition and the powerful naval fleet, which had already lost air superiority, did not dare to approach the range of German planes at all, and no matter how powerful the fleet was, in the face of an attack by hundreds or thousands of aircraft, the final result could only be hated.

Therefore, the Anglo-American coalition had relatively strong naval strength, but it was useless for a while, and did not even dare to appear in the English Channel, so they could only watch the German navy launch an attack on the British mainland with troops and supplies.

Near noon, the first German troops had already exchanged fire with the British troops at Cape Portland, and the German ships were providing artillery support to the landing force at close range, and hundreds of landing ships were fully loaded with troops to attack the beach, which was a real beach-rushing landing.

German paratroopers also found several landing sites, which were then transported directly by transport planes and then airdropped behind the flanks of the British defenders, either to disrupt communications, or to occupy some important points to build defenses to block possible enemy reinforcements, or to turn around and cooperate with the landing force to flank the defending enemy.

It can be said that the various plans of the German army are clearly divided and very fine, and one link is linked to the other. One of the important reasons for this is that Wei Qidong explained to Hitler in detail the Allied overlord operation in the official history, that is, the Normandy landing operation.

Wei Qidong explained the merits of the Allied landing in Normandy, as well as some shortcomings, Hitler learned the merits, avoided the problems, and then shared them with the generals under his command to carry out the order, and further improved the Sea Lion plan, so that the German landing operation was much smoother.

And this is the main reason why Wei Qidong believes that the German army has a high chance of success.

Cape Portland had only two British divisions, and it was simply unable to stop the German army's tidal attack.

After nearly three hours of fighting, the Germans, after paying a certain price in casualties, finally gained a foothold on the beachhead, and then quickly used this as a base point to gather the troops that had landed and launched a general attack on Cape Portland.

The landing force also maintained the docking and exchange of information with the air force, and the air force quickly dispatched nearly 400 planes to prepare to cooperate with the German forces in Cape Portland, and took the place first in the mode of blitzkrieg, without giving the British troops any respite.
