Chapter 121: Normandy and the 101st Airborne Division
Standing on the top of a bunker on a hillside not far from the beach, looking at the German soldiers who had laid out various anti-tank piles and canvas mines on the beach, Hu Feng suddenly realized that he seemed to have taken a misguided thinking mistake by Alletoya.
Why would I want to speculate about that old Stanley's plan, and why would I go to the trouble of devouting all sorts of countermeasures in advance to try to stop him?
For one, he could do this to collect souls or transform more demons, and so could himself, and his current progress was definitely faster than he was coming.
Second, with the unscientific marching speed of the armored units of his division, he can completely adapt to the situation and make temporary responses according to the position of the main landing force of the Allied forces.
Stanley's old dog wants a soul? I'm sorry, grandpa is on a bar with you, where you fight, I'll pull people away, I see where you can go to pull souls to make a deal!
Hu Feng, who suddenly figured it out, breathed a sigh of relief, so as not to respond to all changes, what do you like, Lao Tzu will follow.
Golden Beach, Juno Beach, Sword Beach, Omaha Beach and Utah Beach, the five places where the Allied forces might land on a large scale, have all begun to be defended accordingly at this moment, although the German staff is extremely suspicious of this, believing that it is impossible for the Allies to land in the Normandy area, but out of the absolute rigor of the German soldiers, they still responded just in case.
Hu Feng's 46th "Black Cross" Division was ordered to garrison Golden Beach at this moment, and according to the original history, it was here that the main landing force of the Allied forces, with the cooperation of the 101st Airborne Division, achieved the largest and most stable beachhead.
Speaking of the 101st Airborne Division, Hu Feng immediately remembered the classic HBO American drama "Band of Brothers" that he had watched.
Hu Feng still respects this airborne soldier unit that fell from the sky and was nailed directly behind the German position.
It has nothing to do with conviction or nationalism, but simply being deeply touched by their actions.
With waves crashing on long stretches of beach and gloomy weather, Normandy has never been a beautiful coastal area with a warm climate, and not only that, but it will soon turn into a bloody aura.
So... Come on, no matter how Stanley lays out and interferes with the decisions of the Allies, just make sure that you take the lion's share.
June 1944 is a day that will be forever remembered by history.
"Our children will soon be on a battleship, on a plane, across the English Channel, and wrestling with the fascists... ”
"Their souls will tremble under fire, and bloodshed and sacrifice will not be avoided ... ”
"But we will remember them, and our descendants will remember them ... ”
"They are fighting for a free world, and may God bless each and every one of them for a safe return. ”
Churchill gave a speech in London, while Allied soldiers were boarding ships en masse, and in the evening of the same day, nearly 100 large transport planes took off one after another, heading towards the European continent in the golden sunset.
The airborne troops set off ahead of schedule, and they were to force their way deep into the rear of the Normandy area in the face of German anti-aircraft fire to assist in the large-scale landing of the army.
When the heavy firing of the anti-aircraft machine gun rang out one after another, Hu Feng opened the top cover of the tank, leaned out and looked up at the brilliant night sky like countless fireworks exploding.
The overture to the Normandy landings has officially begun.
took out the map and looked at it, trying to recall some vague memories, and after a while, Hu Feng found the place he was looking for.
Lieutenant Winters was a little worried at the moment, his weapons were all lost after the successful landing, and he only had a tactical dagger on his body.
Fortunately, the dark night served as a cover for him, and he found a few robes of airborne troops.
The most urgent task at the moment was to reach the meeting point designated by Company E, but before that, he decided to destroy a German anti-aircraft position not far away.
The two anti-aircraft machine guns on that position were constantly spitting tongues of fire, wantonly attacking the transport planes in the sky that were not capable of fighting back.
Lieutenant Winters and a dozen of his assembled soldiers hid in the bushes by the side of the road, carefully observing the enemy situation in the small village.
The enemy was not much, and the anti-aircraft machine gun was located in the middle of the village.
The two wagons drove slowly down the road, and a soldier jumped out of advance without following Lieutenant Winters' orders, and fired at the Germans in the carriage with a submachine gun.
The plan was disrupted, and it was not easy to completely annihilate the German squad of more than 20 people, and Lieutenant Winters had an argument with the soldier Guarnell, but fortunately he did not expose himself.
Sneaking into the small village, the paratroopers reached for the anti-aircraft machine gun in the center.
Naturally, the process was thrilling, and the unexpected and sudden fire strafing, operating the anti-aircraft machine guns and the German troops guarding the surrounding area were killed one after another.
"Destroy these two damn machine guns, we... Not good, there is an ambush!"
Before Lieutenant Winters could finish his sentence, he suddenly noticed a flash of reflection in a farmstead, the reflection of smooth steel in the moonlight and firelight.
"Retreat!"
Rumble!
A cannonball dragging the green fire accurately hit the anti-aircraft machine gun in the center of the village, blasting it into a cloud of burning scrap metal, and the paratroopers were tossed to their feet by the blast of the blast, struggling to get up.
At this time, a circle of dark green evil flames also ignited around the edge of the entire small village, turning the place into a large prison.
A pitch-black King Tiger tank broke through the wooden gate of the farm and slowly drove out, and three black Tiger tanks also drove out of several buildings and corners.
As soon as the paratroopers tried to get up, they were kicked to the ground again by the German soldiers who rushed up.
The group of soldiers was also dressed in pitch-black German armored uniforms, with a black iron mask on their faces, and their mouths were sealed in one piece, with a black cross depicted on them.
Looking at the group of devil soldiers who seemed to have come out of hell, as well as the four steel monsters, the paratroopers wisely did not make any drastic moves.
I've never heard of such a strange unit in the German army?
Facing the surrounding fire, a German officer wearing a black SS armored officer uniform and a black cloak jumped out of the huge King Tiger tank and strode in front of the paratrooper captives.
Yellow people? Fascists are so extremely racist that there are still yellow people in the army? And they became a high-ranking officer?
Lieutenant Winters was a little stunned when he saw Hu Feng's facial features.
"Richard Dick Winters?"
Lieutenant Winters couldn't hide his surprise and confusion when he heard the yellow officer accurately call out his full name in English.
Is he very famous in the German army? From the time he joined the army to the present, he has been more brilliant in the training of new recruits, and this is not enough for the Germans to notice.
"Yes, who are you?"
Receiving an accurate answer, the yellow German officer smiled and suddenly stretched out his hand.
Winterston thought he was going to shoot himself, but the next second he was even more confused.
The German officer stretched out his right hand and signaled to pull himself up.
