First Target Plane, London, England, General Headquarters of the Landing Campaign.

According to the historical records of the Main Plane, the Stars and Stripes and the British should have launched the Normandy landings in the early hours of June 6, 1944. However, in the first target plane, it was 2 months ahead of schedule. There are many reasons why the main plane launched this battle, such as international political needs, opening up a second battlefield, and the fact that the Soviet Union had already switched to a counteroffensive at that time, and could not allow him to monopolize post-war Europe, etc. But on the first target plane, the main factor in launching the campaign at the end of April 1944 was that the Soviets would probably not survive this summer!

According to the results of the analysis of the information sent by the European intelligence fronts, Hitler launched a national mobilization earlier than the main plane, and the outcome of a series of battles that changed the original face of history at Stalingrad, so that the Germans had a full 1.5 million more mobile troops than the main plane in the same year. And at the beginning of 1944, because of Hitler's order, another 1 million troops will be trained in Germany and the surrounding allied countries, and may be thrown into the Soviet battlefield at any time, which is likely to become the last straw that crushes the Soviet Red Army. Stalin had already issued an ultimatum to Churchill and Roosevelt in a roaring tone, saying that if a second European theater of war was not opened up before May 1944, the Soviet Union would not rule out retreating or even withdrawing from the Allies.

Although the Soviet Union was dismissive of its threat of being ready to negotiate peace with Germany. However, in order to ensure that Europe did not completely fall into the hands of Germany, under Churchill's urgent request, Roosevelt finally agreed after careful consideration, and the combined forces of the two countries jointly assembled 48 divisions (9 more than the main plane), with a total strength of 3.38 million troops (more than 500,000 more than the main plane) for the Normandy landing operation. Among them, the army has more than half, reaching 30 infantry divisions, in addition to 12 armored divisions and 3 airborne divisions. The Navy has invested about 6,300 ships, including about 1,200 combat warships including 13 battleships, 49 cruisers, and 147 destroyers, more than 4,700 landing ships, and nearly 6,000 transport ships. The Air Force plans to dispatch 15,200 combat aircraft, including 6,200 bombers, 5,000 fighters, and 4,000 transport aircraft and gliders.

The Germans were not ignorant of the intentions of the Allies. Rommel, who was in charge of the defense line of the "Atlantic Fortress", carefully analyzed and considered the troops and equipment in his hands: in May 1944, the German troops deployed on the Western Front in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands were about 860,000 troops (100,000 more than in the history of the main plane), and Denmark and Norway had 1.6 million troops (100,000 more). and intelligence reports about the possible landing of Allied forces in Calais (a British 'minced' deception scheme) that finally convinced Rommel to place the main forces in Calais. In Normandy, only 3 milder coastal defense divisions, 1 slightly stronger armored division and 3 infantry divisions remained, as well as 3 separate infantry regiments and a paratrooper regiment, with a total strength of about 100,000 men.

Due to the shortage of building materials for the fortifications, the Normandy defensive line was only constructed with a number of independent support points of reinforced concrete. Most of the fortifications only reached the standard of field fortifications, so it is not surprising that after the campaign was launched, although some stubborn resistance was encountered, most of the beach-grabbing and landing operations went very smoothly. The Normandy coastline was chosen because it was a large open area in the terrain, with the large French port of Cherbourg nearby, which was very conducive to the deployment of troops after landing, and the area was also within the combat radius of aircraft taking off from the British mainland.

Omaha Beach, Normandy.

In what would later become known as "Bloody Omaha," a fierce battle was being waged.

"Shoot!"

"Fire!"

"Cover!"

"Machine gun fire!"

"Support artillery, quick!"

Most of the cliffs along the Omaha line are more than 30 meters, and the terrain is very easy to defend and difficult to attack. Two hours after the attack began, the Stars and Stripes Army, which was in charge of the landing operation, occupied only a 9-meter-wide stretch of the beach in the eastern section of Omaha Beach, while not a single soldier washed up on the western section of Omaha Beach.

"Naval artillery support, I need naval artillery support!" Captain Miller, who commanded the first echelon of the landing, shouted at the communicator.

"Boom!"

After a loud bang, a German shell exploded not far from Captain Miller, and at the last moment, with the help of the first class behind him, Captain Miller who pressed himself under him survived, but the communications soldier Lewis and the Dick first class who was covering him both stopped breathing and died under the shelling just now.

“**！ Damn Germans, damn military bastards! ”

Seeing his own soldiers on the beach from time to time pierced through helmets by German bullets, scattered around the hands and feet of people who did not recognize their identities at all, and a few soldiers who were completely mentally broken and looking for their broken arms like crazy on the beach, Miller only felt blackness in front of his eyes, ringing in his ears, difficulty breathing, and his brain completely stopped thinking.

In the sky, the support air force composed of thousands of warplanes and the airdrop troops, after eliminating the few German planes that came to intercept, quickly penetrated and released umbrella flowers to stop the ground support troops sent by the German army.

A small town in France, Rommel headquarters.

"Haven't the Air Force's support planes arrived yet?" Longmir asked his adjutant's assistant with red eyes.

"Marshal Goering has already sent two thousand of his own combat planes to support, and it will take another hour for them to reach the Normandy area. On the ground, our main forces deployed in the Calais area are being assembled, and troops from other parts of France are coming to Normandy, although very few support units have arrived in formation due to the jamming and bombing of enemy aircraft. The lieutenant, who adhered to the strict character of the Germans, although he knew that his country was facing the most dangerous moment at this time, still reported in a clear manner.

"Damn, give me another 300,000 mobile troops, and I'll be sure to drive them all out to sea." Rommel, who kept calculating the potential strength of the two sides in his brain, said unwillingly.

"Your Excellency General, don't worry too much, the newly formed reserve forces of more than 40 divisions in the country have been completed, and with their joining, we can completely recapture the position by force." The adjutant reassured.

"I hope so." Rommel was well aware that the heavy firepower and tanks of those troops in the country were insufficient, and the prospects for future battles with the British were not optimistic.

German High Command, Hitler's official residence.

After the Normandy landings, even the most clumsy Germans realized the crisis and unease, and the German Nazi Party was now more efficient than ever, and immediately reported the war situation to Hitler, and immediately sent cars to pick up many German field marshals, including Goering.

"How's it going? Where did the British, and the Stars and Spanglers capture? Hitler asked with a furrowed brow, tugging at his mustache.

"According to reports from the front, except for a few data points, the Normandy area was conquered and occupied by the enemy before 2 p.m."

"Where's the reinforcements?"

"Eleven divisions have been urgently dispatched to help the troops, but because the enemy's air power is too strong, it is difficult for them to arrive on a large scale."

"Goering!! Hearing the loss of air supremacy, Hitler turned his face and asked with his back molars gritted.

"Your Excellency, Great Führer, I have sent more than 2,000 aircraft, and this is all the mobile forces at my disposal. They should now be engaged in fire with the enemy. Ge Fat Man quickly explained.

"It's not enough, air supremacy must be quickly recaptured." No matter how stupid and bastard Hitler was, he also deeply understood what air supremacy meant for modern warfare through several years of war, and he made up his mind: "The Silver Eagle Clan (Sixth Master) sent over, all of them, not one left!" ”

"But Your Excellency, we now only have about 900 Silver Eagles left, and if we lose one, we will lose one, and they have not yet achieved domestic production." The Silver Eagle was at the heart of Goering at this time, and when he heard that Hitler was going to throw them into the most brutal war of attrition, Goering tried his best to retort.

"Not now, there will be no chance in the future, I order, all the Silver Eagle fighters deployed in the country immediately transfer to France, participate in the air battle there and achieve the final victory, understand?"

"Yes!"

April 30, 1944, the first day of the Normandy landings. Overall, the Star-Spangled Banner and the British plan went well, with all but a few hard bones like Omaha Beach, and the rest of the beachhead fell into Allied hands. The navy and the transport landing fleet were transporting landing troops there overnight to strengthen their combat strength and meet the German counterattack the next day.

On May 1, 1944, a good day for Labor Day, the expected German ground forces did not appear, but the Luftwaffe suddenly became powerful, not only the 2,000 German planes that arrived earlier, launched a campaign aimed at regaining air supremacy over Normandy, but also hundreds of silver fuselage and jets without propellers suddenly joined the battle group. Since they were piloted by the best pilots chosen by the Germans, the results brought by the large-scale Silver Eagle fighters were devastating and unacceptable. Relying on their high altitude and high speed, they adopted the tactics of hit-and-go and rapid diving, causing the Allied air force to suffer great losses. Although the number of Silver Eagle fighters was also damaged due to the large-scale dogfight, the 11-to-1 exchange ratio still made the Star-Spangled Banner feel a lot of pain. In particular, the probability of being rescued after parachuting is very low because most of them are in the German sphere of influence.

Three days after the start of the war, the Germans lost more than 150 Silver Eagle fighters, while the Allied planes lost more than 1,600 aircraft, and the air mobility was suddenly insufficient. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rommel concentrated the originally scattered troops and formed two operational centralizations, preparing to forcibly recapture the lost positions without air interference. And the Star-Spangled Banner is not ambiguous, relying on the "ship sea" tactic, hundreds of thousands, nearly a million troops and equipment have been ashore, and a big war between the two sides is coming.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from behind the fat man.

"Hi, Your Excellency Goering, long time no see!" The pseudo-Bismarck finally appeared again.
