When these U.S. troops were doing everything they could to carry out landing operations, Lieutenant Frepakin was using their telephone to send fire support to artillery units several kilometers deep inland:

"The target US military on the West Coast has a range of 4,000 meters and a basic orientation of 30, tightening the fuse."

Shortly after the speech was finished, two Higgins boats carried 60 US troops and successfully landed.

Then these US troops came ashore with more than 100 pounds of weapons and equipment, including M1 Garland semi-automatic rifles, ammunition, grenades, etc.

"Everyone is ready to find a cover to guard against enemy artillery attacks!"

As soon as he got to the beach, Lieutenant Berroman hurriedly ordered his soldiers.

"Targeted US military------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And before the US soldiers could act according to their orders, Lieutenant Frepakin, who had been watching their every move, immediately ordered the German artillery troops to attack.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

In an instant, the sound of deafening shelling sounded across the entire south bank beach.

"Da da da! Da da da! Da da da..."

At the same time, the various MG-42 machine gun positions deployed by Lieutenant Freparkin also launched a tacit attack; spitting out a deadly red flame tongue, reaping one living life after another of the US troops.

"I'm shot, save me!"

"The enemy's firepower is very strong! What should we do!"

"Look for bunkers quickly, we have too many people killed or injured!"

"We were yelled! They were not Italian troops, they were German troops, their 88mm and 75mm artillery!"

"How could this happen? When did the German army arrive on this island? Why didn't our commander tell us!"

"Vieville is about to climb down for me, their bullets are too dense!"

The attack was carried out by German artillery and machine guns under the command of Lieutenant Frepakin, and in an instant, the US troops who had just landed were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.

Not long after, many American corpses and their weapons and equipment were lying down on the beach covered with dark craters; such as Browning automatic rifles, TNT explosives, machine guns; mortars and shells, rifles, and flamethrowers, as well as rations and other weapons and equipment.

But in this life-and-death crisis, the US tank landing craft immediately launched a counterattack; dense rockets were as if it was raining, and they blasted towards the German artillery positions and machine gun positions.

At the same time, those US Sherman tanks that had successfully landed have also begun to prepare for shelling.

"Shoot me at 6 o'clock!"

"Armor Piercing Bulletin, fire at 4 o'clock!"

"High explosive bomb, launched at 8 o'clock!"

"Turn left, at 9 o'clock, aim, load!"

In a short while, the entire US tank group that landed successfully and successfully fought, issued a noisy shooting order.

At the same time, the 75mm L/40 cannons and 50-caliber machine guns of these Sherman tanks also opened fire violently.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

"Da da da! Da da da! Da da da..."

Suddenly, the sound of tanks and machine guns were storm swept across the German positions like storms; and as a counterattack, the German 88mm artillery, 75mm artillery, and other anti-tank artillery were also fighting desperately with the US military as if they were not worth it.

Soon, several tank landing craft were sank to the sea by a series of 88mm shells from the German army.

In addition, the German Pak40 anti-tank gun performed very rarely, destroying five Sherman tanks in one fell swoop.

However, the German army's defensive positions were also rockets fired by US tank landing craft and Sherman's shelling; the bombing was beyond recognition, and more than 20 German troops inside were killed or injured.

"Everyone, withdraw quickly! Our goal is temporarily successful! Take action according to our original combat plan! Quickly! Everyone!"

After seeing a large number of soldiers killed and injured in his position, Lieutenant Frepakin immediately decisively issued a retreat order to his German soldiers.

The German commanders and soldiers of the West Bank were also doing the same behavior as him.

"Hey! Those Germans are retreating! Let's chase!"

"Yes! Don't let them go, avenge our dead comrades!"

"The first company uses machine guns and mortars to cover it; the second company chases me quickly. If you can kill one more German army, you will kill one more!"

"Comrades-in-communication is using our SCR-300 radio, contact other troops to see how they are doing? Also, connect us to our commander's office and ask for instructions on the next step!"

"In addition, there are tank groups that chase me from the flanks and try to expand the scope of our occupied area!"

Captain Dean's command and the shouts of the soldiers also echoed.

Lieutenant Berroman immediately commanded all the undestroyed tank landing crafts to land on the ground and land.

While the commanders of the US military were busy commanding their landing troops, pursuing, or other deployments; on the third line of defense of the German army, General Paul Conrat, the commander of the Hermann Goering Division, listened to the bombing of 15 naval artillery shells fired by the US military every 6 seconds, and listened to the correspondents around him reporting on the situation of various frontline positions.

"How many US troops have successfully landed now?"

After listening for a while, General Paul Conrat, the division commander, asked his correspondent seriously.

"There are about 4 US artillery battalions, one Sherman tank battalion, and one regiment of US infantry landed successfully!"

The correspondent thought about it and replied immediately.

"Is it the unit of the US division?"

General Paul Conrat, the division commander, continued to ask.

"It's the 45th Division of the US Army!"

The correspondent immediately reported.

"How is the U.S. fleet? How many are there now? Are there any subsequent large forces to support it?"

"3 battleships, 3 cruisers, 6 destroyers, 3 minesweepers, and 4 small combat ships; but now 2 cruisers, 2 destroyers, and 6 small combat ships have been destroyed by our shore-based cannons and anti-aircraft cannons!"

"What about the subsequent naval forces of the US military?"

General Paul Conrat, the division commander, said anxiously.

"They are not found yet!"

The correspondent was a little nervous and reported truthfully.

“Have our Air Force and Submarine Force arrived?”

The division commander General Paul Conrat asked again after a moment of silence.

“It’ll be there in 15 minutes!”

The correspondent smiled and reported the good news.

"Okay! Is there any new combat operation for Commander Gothard Heinrich?"

General Paul Conrat, the division commander, said happily after hearing this.

“Not yet!”

The correspondent shook his head and replied.

"Yes! So has he continued to let the "cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery teams with strong air defense firepower continue to participate in the battle?"

General Paul Conrat, the division commander, suddenly asked curiously.

"No! And those "cheetahs" self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery teams have also withdrawn from the battlefield!"

The correspondent continued to answer frankly.

"No! Such a powerful anti-aircraft artillery team has also been withdrawn? What a pity! Their record is very powerful!"

General Paul Conrat, the division commander, said in surprise.

"Hey! General Paul Conrat! Are you afraid of those US troops without the assistance of these "cheetahs" self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery teams?"
