It took a whole day to scatter all the paratroopers, and at the same time, the landing craft in the British port began to sail offshore towards the planned landing site. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the plan, six countries rowed towards five landing sites: Sward Beach for the British Army, Gold Beach for the Canadian Army, Omaha Beach for the American Army, Juruo Beach for Bofa, and Utah Beach for Shiling.

This beach was originally seized by the 4th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army, but now it has become the beachhead for the landing of the Xiling Empire.

Historically, it was the least casualty of the five beachheads, with only 197 killed, but thanks to the fact that they had deviated from the correct landing site and landed 3 kilometers west of the correct location, otherwise the casualties would have been no less than Omaha's.

Utah Beach was the westernmost part of Normandy, and it was important for the Allied forces attacking along the left bank (west bank) of the mouth of the Duvo River to control this beach and stabilize the right-wing offensive.

On the Utah coastline, the Germans laid out a number of defensive lines, because the army delayed for a month, giving the mustache more opportunities to use his hands and feet in Normandy.

In just one month, the Normandy beachhead was filled with countless fortifications, not as complex as Calais Beach, but not bad.

Calais port is the closest to the British, the later Anglo-French undersea tunnel will go to Calais, because it is the closest to the British, so this fortification is the most perfect, the folded defense is the elite soldiers, otherwise the Allies will not be so easy to land from Normandy, if you land from Calais, the landing force is not enough to increase tenfold.

Even now, Normandy, armed with mustaches, is a problem for the Allies.

It is estimated that the Allies will not be easy to fight in this landing battle, and a large number of casualties are certain, depending on whether the Allies can accept it.

But the paratroopers have already thrown it, and now it is impossible to regret it, so I took it hard.

On the eve of the landing, bombers carpeted Utah Beach, and hundreds of B-45s carrying 500kg bombs took off from Britain.

The bomb used a disguised fuse to deal with the German fortifications on the Utah beachhead, and in just one month, although the Germans built a lot of fortifications, they had not yet reached the point of the blockhouse woodland and artillery everywhere in Calais. The thickness of the pillbox is not enough, and after only one or two meters from the top, a 500kg bomb can easily drill through.

poured into the bunker, and in an instant, the entire bunker was put on a dirt plane.

Even if it doesn't hit it directly, if it falls around the bunker and explodes, the earthquake will also shake the people inside to death.

The entire Utah beachhead, trembling under the huge eggs of the B-45, dozens of kilometers away can feel the earthquake from the Utah beachhead, from a high altitude, the Utah beachhead has become a sea of fire, dozens of meters high dust, covering any target on the ground, the plane that dropped the bomb behind is completely looking at the general appearance and throwing it down, whether it is thrown or not, they don't care, as long as it is thrown on the Utah beach.

The Utah beachhead is only 3 kilometers wide, and the B-45 can easily cover the entire beachhead, and the Utah beachhead is a sea of fire.

After hundreds of B-45s bombed in turn, the duck glide in the distance raised a huge barrel, and more than a ton of warheads were stuffed into the barrel and fired at any time.

After the plane was bombed, the beachhead gradually calmed down, and the sparse German troops sprung up like mushrooms after the rain.

Utah Beach, which was originally full of fortifications, was like an invisible hand that wiped out the entire Utah Beach, except for the craters.

On the surface of the sea, the barrel of the duck slip began to roar, and the huge recoil force made the duck slide move several meters away.

The huge bomb, with an unrivaled momentum, hit Utah Beach, and the beachhead was hit again, and after being blown up by the bomb, it was plowed back and forth by duck slides.

Two ducks, 18 406mm naval guns, fired more than a ton of high-explosive shells, and the target was the Utah beachhead, which was only 3 kilometers wide.

The shelling lasted for nearly an hour, and the 18 barrels were hit hot, although they could not be seen on the surface, but the heat wave on the barrels could be felt from afar, and the waves hit them, evaporating bursts of water vapor.

The last shell landed and roared, and the shelling of the duck slip finally ended, Zhang Jingren, who was standing on the Blue Ridge amphibious ship, looked at the Utah Beach, which was lucky by the bombers and then pampered by the duck slide, no one would think that there were still living people on it, after all, such a high-intensity, high-density bombardment, an average of one or two bombs per square meter, such a high intensity, Zhang Jingren did not believe that anyone could survive.

When the shelling was over, countless landing craft were already coming from behind, and the hovercraft took the lead and rushed towards the beachhead.

They were followed by landing ships, and landing craft at the end.

The landing craft are the slowest, and because of their small size, they are wobbly at sea, although these are all marines and have been trained for a long time, but after sitting for a night, they are still a little unbearable, which affects the combat effectiveness very much, so they are put last.

The fast hovercraft set off last, but arrived at Utah Beach first.

The driver operated the hovercraft and rushed directly to the beachhead without encountering any resistance, and it seems that the previous two-wheeled coverage is still very effective.

The wheels of the hovercraft pressed against the soft sand with the lowered steel plates.

As soon as the hovercraft got off, the first step was a large round of smoke bombs, which lowered the infantry in the car and began to attack.

The hovercraft was in no hurry to leave, it also carried several M2 heavy machine guns, which could also provide cover for the infantry.

The infantry followed the wheels, as well as the tanks, and moved slowly, not because they didn't want to be fast, but because they couldn't get up at all, and the entire Utah Beach was full of huge craters that limited their speed, and neither the infantry nor the tanks, nor the wheels could not get up.

"Zizizi~~"

Suddenly, in front of them, there was a sound like tearing cloth, and tongues of fire swept towards them, and the soldiers who were caught off guard were bloody.

The defenders used the famous MG42, and the biggest feature was that the rate of fire was super fast, and the bullets were sprayed outward, almost 20 bullets were fired every second.

However, the MG42 bullet chain only has 120 rounds, which means that if they do not loosen the trigger, they will have to load a bullet in about 6 seconds on average, and at the same time, because of the ultra-high rate of fire, it also brings the problem of overheating the barrel, and the barrel must be replaced frequently.

The defending Germans gave full play to their wisdom, grouping the machine guns into groups, a group of three people, three machine guns, taking turns to shoot, one person to shoot, one person to load, and one person to change the barrel, with a clear division of labor, bringing an endless rain of bullets.

MG42 consumes a lot of ammunition, non-local tyrants can't afford to use it, 1200 bullets are fired every minute, if you let the Guo army come, hehehe, you can be poor in a few minutes. (To be continued.) )
