In Gera Bay, where the 45th Infantry Division, commanded by Patton, was about to land, there was a westerly wind; the tide and the waves were surging, and they rose at least more than 7 feet.

And while they were logging in, they also had to face the shelling of the Italian army on the beach.

However, after the US Knight, the destroyer Tillman, and more than a dozen other cruisers, and the destroyer's large-caliber artillery, they would not dare to breathe a moment when the Italian coast defenders, which were already fighting sporadically.

Especially when the US military's first white phosphorus bomb was also fired at the Italian defenders here, and the bombardment of the British and American fighter jets, the Italian army was immediately killed or injured, or surrendered with a very decisive white flag, or fled, and even abandoned their weapons and equipment.

Facing the face, I got a beach stand without any effort, and easily occupied the Italian coast guard's beachhead.

The 45th Division of the US Army was stunned and unbelievable.

"These Italian coastal forces are really too easy to deal with! The battle has only just begun for 20 minutes. Are we still not yet completed all the landings. You are defeated so quickly, either surrendering or escaping, and you are gone?"

"Is it God that bless us to make this war so easy to change?"

Seeing the vulnerable appearance of the Italian army in front of him, all the 45th Division of the US military couldn't help but think about it.

But soon, they were urged by officers from their teams to land quickly immediately or seize the beachhead abandoned by the Italian army.

Soon more than 60 tank landing crafts and soldiers of the transport boat opened the cabin doors of the landing craft; through the surging tide, assembled the bulky pontoon bridges, and then began to transport tanks, heavy artillery and other weapons and equipment to the beachheads they occupied.

In addition to this method, the soldiers of the 45th Division of the US Army also used rubber boats to transport soldiers and weapons to the beach carefully.

Of course, they also have to pass the surging waves and tides to reach the beach they are going to land.

Of course, the landing of these US troops also used a lot of dukw amphibious trucks and a small number of Ford GPA amphibious jeeps.

Dukw amphibious trucks weigh more than 2 and a half tons and are manufactured by General Motors. They can not only drive at 50 miles on the road, but also carry small troops to quickly break through river blocks.

Machine guns, mortars, heavy machine guns, artillery with caliber below 100 mm, as well as rocket launchers and other weapons and equipment were quickly transported to the landing site, making the US troops that seized the beachhead positions more powerful.

Therefore, a beachhead consisting of heavy machine guns, mortars, anti-tank guns and a large number of elite US infantry battalions was soon completed.

It is precisely because of these advantages that the dukw amphibious truck was able to perform very well and outstandingly in the later Battle of Normandy, and was highly praised by the soldiers.

Of course, these dukw amphibious trucks also have disadvantages, such as the speed of driving in the water is relatively slow, and its braking device is more susceptible to damage to sea salt and mud.

But no matter what, they are still better than the Ford GPA amphibious jeep, the engineer bridges in the hands of the German army, and the German amphibious jeep.

At least it is faster and easier to transport heavy weapons than using pontoon bridges, rafts, rafts, barges, and motorboats.

When the 45th Division of the US Army used pontoon bridges and these dukw amphibious trucks to transport soldiers and weapons and equipment to quickly occupy the beachhead; in some of the woods near them, a small group of German scouts were lurking.

"The US military has also landed here. Should we report information to Commander Guderian immediately?"

Scout Maximi hurriedly asked reconnaissance captain Vals.

"Yes! At the same time, you also need to report to the division commander General Paul Conrat and let his Hermann Goring division dispatch some troops to deal with this group of US troops!"

Reconnaiss Captain Vals nodded and replied.

"But now the number of US troops is so large that I think they have at least one division's strength! Can the Hermann Goering Division deal with two US military divisions? Aren't they going to fight against the US military's Dahong 1st Division now?"

Scout Maximi said a little worried.

"It should be possible! Because the head of state has an additional new infantry division for him to command and lead!"

Scout Captain Vals said a little hesitant.

"Are you talking about the new recruits from Berlin? But they have not yet fought! Can they resist this well-equipped US military force?"

Scout Maximi suddenly remembered.

"Maybe! Didn't the Hermann Goring Division break them apart into two units and mixed them with the Hermann Goring Division to fight together? That's the veterans are fighting with the new soldiers!"

Reconnaissy Captain Vals responded with little certainty.

"Since that's the case, then we won't worry about these combat issues. Leave this issue to Commander Guderian and General Paul Conrat and the others to solve it!"

Scout Maximi suddenly suggested.

"Hey! You said it well! Then let's do it! Anyway, our mission is just to reconnaise, not to go to the battlefield to fight!"

Scout Captain Valls agreed very much.

"But what I really didn't expect was that the Italian troops were so cowardly, surrendered so quickly, or were defeated and fled! The US military landing battle had only started 20 minutes! They were defeated like mountains, which made people angry when they saw it!"

Scout Maximi smiled and responded, then suddenly changed the subject.

"Well! They are like this kind of war-weary nature. We don't have to pay attention to them. You should go and report the latest battle situation to Commander Guderian and others! Don't delay the fighter plane!"

Scout Captain Vals waved his hand.

"Yes! Captain!"

Scout Maximi nodded and agreed.

"Hey! I've suffered it. It was the US bomber group, and they actually came too!"

But the next moment, he suddenly shouted in fear.

But his screams soon came to an abrupt end, because his mouth was quickly blocked by the reconnaissance captain Vals.

"You want to die! There are so many American soldiers on the beach below. You shout so loudly. If you attract them to us, wouldn't we be killed by them!"

Then the reconnaissance captain Vals immediately cursed in a low voice.

Then the reconnaissance captain Vals asked the second scout to hurry to the German troops in the rear to use field phones to report the situation of the war to Commander Guderian and General Paul Conrat.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
