June 4, 1944. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Sunday at 4:15 a.m. Great Britain, Allied Command.

A meeting of senior commanders is taking place in the conference room. If the major general counts one star, the lieutenant general counts two, and so on, then there are dozens of stars in this conference room.

Eisenhower chaired the meeting.

A major general said: "I want everyone to pay attention to the mental intelligence of our intelligence department. The Germans seem to have seen through our plans. They were trying to transfer troops on the Normandy front in Calaich. Note that this can increase our losses and even lead to a failed landing. ”

An American general said: "However, intelligence also says that many of the preparations of the German army have just begun and are far from complete. They began to move their troops three or four days ago. In the last few days, thanks to God, thanks to the bad weather, the German mechanized units have been slow to move, and we only have to face a few German divisions. If we don't start landing, in ten days, we won't have any chance at all. ”

Another American general said, "No matter what, we have to move forward." There is no way back. ”

A British major general said: "Ike, we have to start, millions of people, it's been too long." "Everybody calls Eisenhower Ike. The British and French also called it that.

Dwight D. Eisenhower: "I know what everybody thinks. Nothing is possible without good weather. You're in charge of all the plans, only the weather, and I'm in charge of it to the end. Stag, tell us about your findings. ”

Stagg was the only colonel in attendance, and he didn't have the general's star on his shoulders.

RAF Colonel Stagg was the chief meteorologist, and everyone was staring at his research results, hoping that he would say that tomorrow would be a good day, and everyone should prepare for the attack.

His weather forecast has been released, and Ike has reported on his forecast. Now, he is confident, saying: "A series of three bands of low pressure are slowly moving from Scotland across the Atlantic Ocean towards the island of Newfoundland. This will result in a brief period of time on June 6 where the bad weather will end. In the future, the weather will deteriorate, but it will not affect the landfall. ”

The crowd began to talk about its predictions.

Stagg is prestigious, and several of his forecasts are very accurate, because he uses the most advanced forecasting methods, using meteorological data from the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Ireland, Iceland and other countries.

Everyone was encouraged, and they knew that the landing battle would begin in this brief period of time, because it was now the Lunar Moon, and the tide level was suitable. That is, on June 6, the Allies will cross the English Channel and land in France.

Eisenhower cleared his throat and prepared to start talking.

The crowd fell silent.

Eisenhower said, "I take all the responsibility, let's do it!" ”

The barracks sprang into action at once.

The whole of Britain is in action.

Officers in the various barracks began to do pre-war mobilization.

The soldiers saw the rubber dummy, which was made in the United States and could attract a large number of German firepower guns and bullets on it, which would crackle = ignite sparks, which was very realistic. The rubber man was only half a person, but he could not see it from a distance, and the German army would think that the rubber man was a real person.

They also listened to the pre-war mobilization of the commanders, and began to prepare for battle, and maintained their weapons and equipment for the last time, so that the vehicles and ships were kept in the best condition. The soldiers began to organize their belongings, prepare suicide notes, how to dispose of relics.

By the evening of June 6 and 5, more than 100,000 people had boarded the ship and were waiting for the order to depart.

The engineers are stepping up the laying of submarine oil pipelines, demining tanks, and materials for the construction of improvised wharves. Construction of these facilities will begin immediately after the successful landing.

The wind was lighter.

It was also on the evening of June 5 that the action began.

The first to set off were the Airborne Forces. The US 82nd Airborne Division was airborne in France, which was Operation Detroit. The US 101st Airborne Division was airborne in France, which was Operation Chicago. The British 6th Airborne Division was airborne in France, which was Operation Tonga.

The three airborne divisions will land at different locations. After landing, they would clear the local German troops, return to the division landing site, meet the landing Allies, and form a flanking posture against the German troops on the shore.

The coast was filled with troop carriers and river warships. The infantry was about to set off.

Although the sky was still gloomy, the dense transport planes and escort fighters in the sky could still be seen clearly, and the soldiers on the ship all came out to see the excitement, and one soldier said: "What does it mean that the lights of the plane are flashing and flashing?" ”

The other said: "Do you know the Symphony of Destiny?" Three short and one long, that is, the god of fate is knocking on the door. ”

A soldier next to him said: "That's how I knocked on my girlfriend's door, dangdangdang~~~." ”

The first soldier said, "Are you married?" ”

The third soldier said: "I just registered with the city government, and I came to the front." I don't know if I'm dead, which son of a bitch will marry her. She's the prettiest girl in our neighborhood, she's a model. ”

The first said: "The god of fate is on your side, wait to go back and marry her." ”

The second said: "I really envy you, I don't even know what a woman tastes like." ”

The first said: "Fight well, only if you live, can you go back and marry a good girl." The only thing I can think about now is my kids, they're still sleeping. I have to live, live to see them. ”

In the early hours of June 6, 1944. The order to set off was given.

Thousands of ships left the British coast and approached the intended Normandy beachhead.

Dozens of warships are already towing airships, cruising the sea opposite Calais, each with radar launchers installed on it. In the distance, planes tossed tin foil. The Germans on the opposite side would receive a large number of radar signatures. Their radar will find a lot of flying machines, a lot of ships. This is an illusion caused by the radar waves reflected by the tin foil.

Sure enough, a large number of reflected signals appeared on the radars of the German troops opposite Calais, and a large number of signals were heard by radio.

The German command immediately became nervous. The situation was reported immediately.

Unlike in history, Commander Rommel did not go home for his wife's birthday, but had his new red high heels bought in Paris brought back, while he himself went to the front line in Calais. Because of the intelligence from Hong Kong, Hitler mobilized the main officers and reprimanded the officers on the Calais and Normandy fronts.

According to the latest intelligence, Hitler transferred a large number of troops defending northern Europe to the English Channel. The focus of the defense was on the Normandy coast. Although some of them are too late, they are very different from the previous arrangement.

Now, Rommel was very dissatisfied with Hitler, and even began to associate with Hitler's assassins. His attitude towards the war was not positive. However, due to military discipline, he must deal with this information in a timely manner.

After Marshal Rommel assumed the post of commander of Army Group B, he attached great importance to the construction of defense in the coastal areas, personally inspected the coastal defense situation of Denmark, the Netherlands, and France, and demanded that the forward defense should be pushed forward into the sea, starting from the high tide line, laying mines in the deep sea, and setting up obstacles in the shallow sea.

These stakes, which plunged diagonally into the sea, were called Rommel asparagus, and the beach was made up of jagged concrete cones, tank traps, and a large number of mines were laid in between, concealed fire points were built from the vantage point overlooking the beach, and a large number of wooden piles were laid in the open area behind the beach to prevent aircraft landing.

The installation of these explosives and obstacles was a huge project, and it was only partially completed by the time the Allies launched the landing.

After he saw this report, he immediately thought of intelligence. This situation is the same as the intelligence said, one possibility is that they landed from here, another possibility is that they are bluffing here, and the real landing place is Normandy.

He immediately informed Rundstedt of this report.

At the same time, he reported the situation to Berlin, and he ordered the whole army to be put into combat readiness.

Field Marshal Rundstedt was the commander-in-chief of the German Army on the Western Front, commanding 59 divisions. Because several divisions in Northern Europe reached five, which greatly strengthened his strength. According to new information, the Germans adopted a defensive strategy of equal importance in Normandy and Calais, and the new troops were deployed in Normandy. Wait until tomorrow night, and the remaining three will also arrive.

Rundstedt's idea was to let the other side land and destroy them. Still, he obeyed the order and deployed the new troops to the coastal defense line, and the new troops would be placed in the rear.

Initially, Rundstedt himself did not believe in Hong Kong's intelligence at all, and he expressed doubts about Chongqing's status in the eyes of the Americans. But recently, a series of U.S. intelligence and Hong Kong intelligence have been mutually corroborated, which has shaken his thinking. This information is not the same as the information from Britain and Spain. Intelligence describes a bold and plausible plan of deception. He even felt that if he were Eisenhower, he would do the same.

Having received the report, he gave the order. In addition to the troops on the beach front, all the kilometers of bridges and railways behind were also prepared.

At this time, the intelligence officers suddenly heard a sudden increase in the number of French broadcasts, all from London, saying inexplicable words:

"John has a long beard."

"The long whimpering of the autumn violin hurts my heart with a monotonous dullness."

This series of changes alarmed Rundstedt, and he ordered that all German troops on the Western Front begin to enter a state of readiness.

Soon, the Gestapo throughout France went into action. They found that several French resistance stations were active.

At the same time, Hitler mobilized the armies of southern Europe to the Western Front, and this order had already reached London and was placed on Eisenhower's table. This intelligence also reached the United States and was placed on Roosevelt's table. Intelligence indicates that at least four infantry divisions have reached the vicinity of Normandy.

The news weighed Eisenhower's heart. He felt that his landing plan had a fifty percent chance of success and failure. Regardless of success or failure, a vicious war is inevitable.

It's too late to regret it, and once the plan is executed, there is only one way forward. He had the best plan in mind, in the event of fierce German resistance, he would send more follow-up troops, no matter what the cost, to make the landing successful.

The dense landing craft drove towards the swarthy Normandy coast.

The warship is already approaching the coast. The ship's guns were already aimed at the beachhead, and the shells were loaded.
