Chapter 192, Beachhead Scramble

Without German artillery suppression, the landing force quickly occupied the entire Utah beachhead, built fortifications, built an improvised port, and began to advance inland. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Presumably, the Utah beachhead is so smooth, and the other four beaches are all soaked in red.

The corpses fell one by one under the German machine guns, although the Allies also bombed and bombed the German positions on the beachhead, but the intensity was not enough, far less than the high-intensity coverage bombing of the Xiling Empire, so the Germans were very strong in their own positions, operating MG42, and slaughtering the Allies.

For a time, the Allies were in a dilemma, and they were blocked by the Germans on the beachhead, not knowing what to do.

The warships at sea did not dare to shoot at the beachhead indiscriminately, and opened fire in the waves, and the accuracy was extremely poor, and they were afraid of accidentally injuring their own people.

In this way, the soldiers on the beachhead suffered, but fortunately, there were still some carrier-based aircraft that dive-and-accurately bombed the German pillboxes to cover the Allied attack.

As allies, the Healing army gave full play to the spirit of allies, and after taking Utah, they left some troops to guard the beachhead and establish a harbor, and some immediately went to the adjacent Omaha Beach.

The Omaha beachhead, like a meat grinder, was known as Hitler's chainsaw, and the MG42 was shooting frantically at the American troops.

The U.S. troops that landed in Omaha included the 1st Infantry Division, the 29th Infantry Division, and the 4th Infantry Division, the 90th Infantry Division, which originally landed in Utah, a total of four infantry divisions, which landed in Omaha and received a baptism of Hitler's chainsaw.

Utah is about 20 kilometers away from Omaha in a straight line, but it needs to go around a promontory, and the distance suddenly doubles to 40 kilometers.

40 kilometers, for the army, is just a matter of hours, even if there are German troops along the way, they can't stop their attack, directly from the back of Omaha, the German stabbed hard.

The knife stabbed them directly into their hearts, and it was hard and painful.

The sudden attack from behind caught the German forces in Omaha by surprise and were quickly defeated.

The U.S. military looked at this group of yellow people who stabbed the Germans in the back, and they had no other mood than gratitude, and if they continued to fight, they would not only be able to withstand such a high level of damage.

To their surprise, the other party landed from Utah Beach so quickly and was able to come to their aid.

The U.S. military guessed that the losses of the Heeling army on the Utah beachhead should be quite a lot, and this was not because he lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. They suffered such a big loss on the Omaha beachhead, they didn't take it down for so long, and the opponent took the beachhead so quickly, it is estimated that it was a strong attack, so the losses must be not small.

When they said that they had only lost one or two hundred people, the US military thought that they were slapping their faces and making them fat.

Fortunately, Omaha managed to take it, and they didn't care about that, and they were able to take it so quickly, thanks to the Shiling army.

After taking Omaha, the split team continued to Juno Beach, Golden Beach, and Sword Beach.

The other three beachheads are not too far apart, and they can be walked directly without detours.

The Allies on the three beachheads were overwhelmed by the German firepower, especially only the French and Polish troops in exile, without any support, after all, even the country had no warships and planes, only these armies, and their little support was still divided from the British and Americans.

The Canadian army did not have any outstanding highlights in World War II, and in the Juneau Beach landing, there was no dazzling performance, which was decent.

Juno Beach is close to Omaha, and after supporting Omaha, I immediately came to Juno Beach.

The Canadian army, which was pressed and beaten by the German army, was overjoyed to see the Xiling army coming to support, as if they saw light in the darkness.

With the continuous support of the Chilling army, the five beachheads in Normandy were captured by the Allies, and the landing also achieved the expected effect, but it was the German beachhead defense, to his surprise, much stronger than what was said in the intelligence, and it is estimated that the information was wrong.

The beachhead was lost, and the Germans would not rest on their laurels, and reinforcements were already rushing here, including an SS army that had been transferred.

Compared with ordinary German troops, the SS, as a mustachioed forbidden army, was much stronger in terms of military quality and weapons and equipment, and the SS army sandwiched in it looked no different from ordinary German troops, but it was more ferocious in battle.

The successful landing of the Allies on the European continent made the mustache look unpleasant, and he had already issued an order to drive all the Allies into the sea.

Therefore, after the Allied troops landed, before they could gain a firm foothold, the German counterattack came, and the offensive was extremely fierce, and they were almost not driven into the sea, and it was not easy to withstand the German attack.

The five beachheads have been connected, and although they are still defending a piece of land in front of each other, they still have to take care of each other, after all, they are now grasshoppers strung together on a rope.

In the rear of the German troops, the Airborne Forces began to play their part, harassing the Germans, destroying roads, delaying the Germans, delaying the beachhead troops.

Battleships anchored in the English Channel, firing at German positions on the shore, huge bombs, incomparable in lethality, planes flying over the English Channel, bombing the Germans.

Of course, the German planes were not vegetarians, a large number of jets took off to intercept, and propeller planes vs. jets were staged in the sky.

In the face of the sharp jets of the German army, the propeller aircraft of the Allies naturally fell behind, but fortunately, the propeller aircraft had an advantage in numbers.

After several air battles, the Allies lost more than 300 aircraft, while the Germans lost very little, and it was not possible to continue like this, even if their factories could build a steady stream of aircraft, but they did not have enough pilots.

At this time, the allies set their eyes on the army of the Xiling Empire, without him, because the Xiling Empire also has jet planes, and they have bought them, but the imitation is not too successful, and not a few are produced.

The J-5 can deal with the German planes, but a large number of J-5s are still at home and have not been transported to the UK, which makes the Allies a little frustrated, from Australia to the UK, it will take more than half a month to travel, and when the planes are delivered, they are estimated to have been driven into the sea, too far, too late.

The Germans seemed to see that the Allies had no way to do anything about their jet planes, which made him even more rampant, unscrupulously strafing and dropping bombs over Normandy, or bombing battleships in the English Channel, but fortunately, there were a lot of anti-aircraft weapons on the battleships, although they did not shoot down a plane, but they also frightened them, so that the Germans did not dare to approach.

In the face of such rampant German aircraft, the Allies could only grit their teeth and send out propeller planes to drive them away, and the effect was mediocre, and they suffered a lot of losses. (To be continued.) )
