The Normandy landings were launched in the early hours of the morning.

Thousands of warships and merchant ships of all kinds, thousands of fighters, bombers, and transport planes, and hundreds of thousands of well-equipped and well-trained Allied officers and men, under the cover of artillery fire, began to fight on the French beach on the opposite shore -- Normandy.

When the order to attack was launched, the whole of Britain and half of Europe were reflected in a fiery artillery fire.

The roaring guns made a deafening sound, and the sky-high flames seemed to tear the world apart. The airfields of the British Isles were busy all night, with fighter planes, bombers and transport planes beginning to take off, and ground crews constantly refueling and reloading......

The first wave of the attack was that of the paratroopers, who were the first to set off in the early hours of the morning.

The officers and men of the 101st Airborne Division, wearing the armband of the "Howling Eagle", boarded the C47 with a big belly, and then flew into the sky in rows, heading towards Hitler's "fortress of Europe."

The 336th Brigade of the Chinese Army was part of the first wave of the attack, and together with the first airborne troops, they attacked one of the targets after the attack on Utah Beach, and their mission was to clear the German forces there, and together with the landing force and the airborne troops, occupy Utah Beach.

Each of the officers and men of the first attacking units received a small note, which was a battle order issued by Eisenhower, the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, in the words of many Chinese and British countries: "Officers and men of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the Allied Expeditionary Force: You are about to embark on a great campaign. We've been working hard for months to do that. Now the eyes of the whole world are watching you...... I wish you all the best of luck. Let us pray together that God Almighty will bless this great and noble cause. ”

In fact, the symbolism of this order was far greater than the actual significance, because before that, all the officers and men had received their specific combat orders, and no one could be mistaken.

As soon as the order was given, the officers and men began to attack. The helicopter formations of the 336 Brigade began to fill up their ammunition and kill towards the Utah beach on the opposite bank.

Dozens of helicopters lined up in three V-shapes in the air, and when they were in the English Channel, they seemed to be able to hear the rumbling artillery fire below, and there was no doubt that it was the Allied naval warships, carrying out a covering fire attack on the German fortifications.

Above the helicopter were whizzing transports, fighters and bombers.

"The front is about to enter the war zone! The front is about to enter the war zone! All personnel are ready! "On the helicopter's radio, orders were conveyed over and over again.

The roar of the helicopters continued, and after entering the war zone, they began to change their scattered formation. The sound of rumbling propellers was heard, and at this time, the landing operation on the beachhead had begun.

Under the flares, you can vaguely see the landing boat rushing out of the landing craft and rushing towards the beachhead with dense firepower. Arriving at the beachhead, the landed officers and men disembarked and rushed to the shore. At this time, the dense fire net of the Germans swept wildly, and the first wave of marines who rushed out had already fallen under the dense fire before they could rush to the beachhead, and the sea water turned dark red.

However, the officers and men in the back still rushed forward one after another, and the beachhead was full of barricades such as good railroad tracks and cement piles, and behind were reinforced concrete bunker fortifications, where machine guns and artillery spitted tongues of fire.

The German fortifications were not so strong that they were almost impeccable. But under the general trend, these things can only become a praying mantis in the torrent of history after all, even if they use all their strength, they can't stop the rolling wheels.

Entering the war zone, there was the sound of artillery fire everywhere, the helicopter formation began to disperse, several German four-barreled 20-mm anti-aircraft machine guns fired at a high altitude, the machine gun shells were dense as rain, a helicopter was hit, the volley disintegrated, and several crew members died on the spot.

"Kill them!" After the order was given, several helicopter gunships began to fire at the machine gun fire points, and the Tata Tower's airborne machine guns aimed their guns at the German fire points, and after a burst of intense fire, the German anti-aircraft machine guns were muted.

After eliminating the ground firepower, the transport helicopter landed on the spot, and a number of vigorous soldiers poured out of the cabin, the flight just now was too thrilling, the Germans' dense firepower had already knocked down many of their planes, and they couldn't wait to rush out and fight the Germans.

On the ground, the officers and men of the 101st Airborne Division of the US Army have landed and are now gathering troops to attack. The landing of the officers and men of the 336 Brigade undoubtedly added a new force to them.

Under the guidance of the ground forces, the helicopter gunship formations began to carry out fire support, and the German strongholds on the ground were cleared one by one.

Halfway through the fierce battle, an order came over the radio that the 336th Brigade was ordered to clear a German artillery position with six concealed 105 mm cannons.

Under the Allied offensive, these cannons were no longer hidden, and they adjusted their positions to shoot at the coast.

For helicopter gunships, the artillery on the ground is a herd of bulls with brute strength, although the firepower is fierce, but it does not pose a threat to the helicopter.

When it came to taking out this group of artillery positions, they had almost no backhand, and the helicopter bullets were shooting at the position, and the German soldiers wearing M1942 steel helmets were powerless, and the artillery positions were quickly destroyed.

After clearing the surrounding obstacles, the gathered paratroopers and a detachment of the ground forces of the 336th Brigade began to attack the artillery position, by which time the German resistance had almost collapsed, and the officers and men coordinated perfectly to blow up the German position.

The helicopter formations, having raided the artillery positions of the Germans, began to return in batches. Huang Zheng did not return with the team, but went down with Zhu Jingxing and established an advancing headquarters.

The paratroopers on the ground were very confused, the wrong place of the airdrop caused the paratroopers who had originally landed here to land in other places by mistake, Huang Zheng was wearing an A2 jacket, a pair of flight pants tucked in the paratrooper boots, the steel helmet poked at the star on his head, carrying a horse whip, and a big-eyed pistol on his waist, stepped off the plane and began to command the troops.

When the officers and men of the U.S. military saw a man wearing a general star coming, they naturally gathered around them. The largest was a group led by a major of the United States Army, with fifty or sixty people.

The major walked up to the front and back and reported to the front: "Hello General, Major Winster, the commander of E Company, now accept your dispatch!" ”

"Take a break!" After Huang Zheng glanced at it, he said to everyone: "Now, all the troops have become combat groups, and we are going to kill those damned Germans!" ”

Zhu Jingxing commanded the ground detachment to begin the assault, and the E Company of the 506th Regiment of the US Army assisted them in the attack.

They had prepared a large number of * and phosphorus to burn* and after occupying the artillery positions, the commander of E Company, Major Winster, placed all these * and * on the barrels of the Germans' cannons, and with a bang they blew them to pieces.

Zhu Jingxing scolded after seeing it: "What a group of losers!" ”

But there was no better way on the battlefield, and if they didn't destroy these things, they could be recaptured by the Germans.

Fierce fighting continued until more than 6 a.m., when ground forces converged and advanced towards the intended target. On the beaches of Normandy, large-scale beach-grabbing landings were still ongoing, and the Allies continued to conquer the beachhead at the cost of heavy casualties, and the Germans were at the end of their crossbows.

……

The battle continued until the next day, when the officers and men of the 336th Brigade gathered more Allied officers and soldiers and began to attack in the depths. There were few factional divisions among the U.S. military, and most of them were able to gather under Huang Zheng's command.

Huang Zheng was not polite at all, he scolded the American officers when they should have been scolded, and they should be trained, and he rebuked an American soldier who was too frightened to move: "If you don't let me go to the battlefield, I will have people strip you naked and throw them in this hellish place!" Hurry up and get out of the way and fight! ”

The officers and men of the 336th Brigade have long been accustomed to this pungent style, but many of the American soldiers have encountered it for the first time, which reminds the officers and men of the Marine Corps of their training instructors in the boot camp, because only he would curse cowards like that.

Huang Zheng simply set up a headquarters on the spot at the Brekut Manor to direct and dispatch the Allied forces in this area to launch an attack on the Germans.

With helicopters and a large number of troops, Huang Zheng's command was like a fish in water, and they soon became the fastest to attack the Allied forces.

He reported to the Allied command that the troops, under his command, had seized the target area fifty miles behind Utah Beach.

Only one day later, the beach-grabbing landings at the front continued, and the airborne troops were able to capture so many important sites, much to the surprise of the entire Allied command.

This guy is so bold, you must know that he led his troops to the front line on the night of the Normandy landing, which is completely different from the Chinese official with a fat brain in most people's impressions.

"This guy's style of doing things is very similar to George Patton, but this guy is more attentive than Barton." Chief of Staff Morgan couldn't stop saying after hearing this.

Eisenhower was surprised and said, "In the Utah Beach area, Huang Zheng has the highest military rank, so according to the Allied combat principles, he should command the troops there." ”

The Allied Command replied and asked Huang Zheng to command and dispatch the Allied forces on the front line of Utah Beach until someone with a higher rank succeeded him.

Huang Zheng was not polite, and in his own headquarters, he dispatched the allied forces to start attacking separately. With the continuous offensive, the Allied forces gathered more and more, in addition to the officers and soldiers of the 336 Brigade, the American army reached more than 1,000 people, and there were many Sherman tanks.

With these forces, Huang Zheng decided to make a big move.
