As the naval driver of the boarding boat 6 shouted loudly, the boarding boat 6 suddenly looked. The big wave knew very well that this was a signal of grabbing the beach. However, the front baffle was not falling. After shouting, he turned around and saw that the three drivers were all lying in a pool of blood.

The front baffle was opened. Shocked by the whizzing bullets and the shells that exploded from time to time, Yubo then realized that almost all the boarding boats were blocked by the Germans' fixed obstacles. A large number of officers and soldiers were wading at the beach, and people were constantly being shot and falling down. After struggling for a few times, they disappeared into the sea.

The fierce firepower on the beach allowed more officers and soldiers to use the cement steel frame obstacles in the sea as cover, and the cover shooting was promoted alternately. Fan Bo took a look at the distance of the beach, and it was obvious that the range of the assault rifle was clear. Most officers and soldiers were trying to be brave for themselves, but in a while, the officers and soldiers of the first attack echelon, who had suffered heavy casualties, began to feel a little timid. The waist-deep sea water was full of the bodies of Chinese soldiers. The sea water was still a little dark red?

The Allied commanders standing on the battleship Missouri were stunned by the powerful firepower of the Germans on the beach. It was obvious that the mid-squad of a regiment was too late. Qi Baiming's hand holding the telescope was trembling slightly. The Germans' defensive firepower was unprecedented, and he didn't even know how to attack such a beach or even occupy it? If the Germans' shore defense firepower was not destroyed, it would be obvious that it would be a dream to capture such a beach position by simply relying on the 6th troops.

Even the Chinese soldiers hiding behind the obstacles were shot from time to time, it was obvious that the German obstacles were arranged based on the firepower of the beachheads, and the few remaining Sherman tanks became living targets and were knocked into bonfires.

Seeing this scene, Fan Bo pulled off the military flag's coat, and he knew what he should do as a flag-holder at this time.

Rush! Fan Bo rushed out with the blue sky and white sun flag shouting. Countless Zibei passed by Fan Bo's side. The sea water stirred up by the explosion rushed him, got up and rushed back. Yubo was like a lucky man, walking through the rain of bullets.

Driven by Fan Bo, the flag-holder, Chinese soldiers shouted and rushed to the beach, and people were constantly shot and fell down, but no one slowed down, so the degree meant life.

When Fan Bo had just stepped onto the beach, his good luck seemed to have been used up. The air waves caused by the explosion of a mortar shell turned over him. Fan Bo, with blurred eyes, saw a figure picking up the military flag, but fell down after taking two steps. Then someone picked it up, and the flag holder was shot again and fell down, repeating itself.

When Song Yuhang received the first battle report of the Fifth Lightweight Division's bloody battle against the Utah Beach, his heart skipped a beat. In his memory, the US military boarding boats that had been on the Utah Beach in history were hit by a strong southeast tide, which made the beach grabbing site move south to about the old field rice more than expected. This accident actually brought unexpected good luck to the Allied forces, because at the scheduled boarding 6 o'clock, there were a regiment of German troops, and two artillery companies could use firepower to suppress the beach.

In fact, there was only one company in the German army, and its defensive power was weak. General Roosevelt, the commander of the 4th Division of the US Army, made a quick decision and ordered that this place be used as the 6 o'clock. He also set up a huge sign to indicate that the 6 o'clock was climbed. The underwater blasting team quickly cleared the passage. At 6:30, the 6 troops were climbed to 6, and at 8:30, the vanguard regiment of the first echelon broke through the German defense line and moved inward. At 9:30, the 6th regiment was initially established. At 10:30, the 6th regiment had already been raised, and the German troops were basically eliminated.

The heart division. In addition to the airborne troops, the airborne troops had already taken four paths to ensure the rapid advancement of the sixth unit. By sunset, all three regiments of the 4th Division were 6, and a total of 6 tons of materials were 6 tons of strong men and “alkali vehicles”. The consolidated front-line with a width of 4 kilometers and a depth of 1,000 meters, and the vanguard had arrived at the highway from Carontan to Saint-Mer and met with the airborne troops. Throughout the day, only four people were killed in the 4th Division. For the expected casualties, the losses were the five Allied troops, the smoothest among the beachheads, and the smallest losses.

But obviously the Fifth Lightweight Division is not as lucky as the Americans in history, and the Germans' defensive front is far longer than in history, with much more troops. The Chinese Expeditionary Force hit the German defensive barrier that was as hard as a wall, and the American No. 6 Airborne Division, which was originally scheduled to support the 6th place from behind, has been no news.

During the airborne battle of Normandy 6, the Allied forces were all deprived of people. Among them, the parachutes, the Asu people also airborne the auxiliary artillery. The old light tanks had tons of supplies. The use of transport gates, gliders, and blades, now only know that four transport planes were shot down, which caused fat. The casualties of the troops could not be counted. However, judging from the current situation, this large airborne is likely to end in failure.

Song Yuhang knew that he could not help at this moment. The only thing he could do was not add burden and pressure to the commanders on the front line. Qi Baiming had ordered the 16th Regiment to go to reinforce the 15th Regiment to seize the beachhead position, and ordered the 6th Lightweight Division to prepare for boarding.

At the beachhead of Utah, three battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and two shallow water gunboats formed a naval gun fire support fleet, and implemented fierce naval gun fire preparations for 40 minutes on the 20km Ding6 front.

When the boats of the 6th boat approached the coast, the firepower of the ship gun began to extend to fire support, and the direct firepower preparation was then carried out by the cannons of the boats of the 6th boats. Continue to shoot at the beachhead of the 6th boats to cover the boats of the 6th boats. "26. The entire firepower preparation process was dense, vigorous and long, basically suppressing the German shore defense and ensuring the 16th Regiment's rush to climb to 6th.

The 16th Regiment immediately found a dense fire from the German army. Then the Allied combat patrol formations bombarded the German artillery positions, but after a while, the German artillery fire was restored again? These large-caliber howitzers posed a huge threat to the Chinese Expeditionary Force officers and soldiers on the beach.

According to aerial reconnaissance, the Germans had about a dozen large-caliber self-propelled artillery behind their defense line, moving under the neutral line. They were at the dead corner of the naval gun. After aerial reconnaissance, these self-propelled howitzers were German self-propelled artillery, commonly known as "wild bees".

When Song Yuhang learned that his troops on the beachhead of Utah were suppressed by the German self-propelled guns, he immediately made a request for close-range tactical support to Eisenhower. These damn self-propelled guns of the German army must be knocked out as soon as possible, otherwise the Chinese Expeditionary Force troops located on the beachhead would encounter unimaginable casualties.

Song Yuhang clearly recorded the origin of the name of the "Wild Bee" self-propelled howitzer. For some reason, Hitler was very disgusted with the name "Wild Bee", so the German Command issued an order on February 10, 2000, prohibiting the use of the "Wild Bee" in the future. The name was renamed "Loading in the field," "the fraudulent self-propelled cannon on the vehicle." Because this name was too long-winded. German soldiers privately became "Wild Bee"

The combat weight of the "Wild Bee" self-propelled howitzer is arsenic. The 6 crew members are the captain, driver, gunner and 3 loaders. The base chassis is a type of combat tank, but there have been many changes in structure. The two most prominent ones are: the position of the motive is the rear part of the vehicle body to the middle part of the vehicle body, which provides favorable conditions for expanding the space during combat. The other is the lengthening of the vehicle body, which is also needed for expanding the battle. The overall structure of the "Wild Bee" self-propelled howitzer is not very reasonable, and can only be said to be a transitional product for the needs of the war.

The self-propelled howitzer is mainly used to be the armored artillery regiment in the German armored division, and together with the "Huang Feng" self-propelled howitzer, one of the battalions was assigned. In the three self-propelled artillery companies under a normally organized self-propelled artillery battalion, the second company was equipped with "Hornets" self-propelled howitzers, and the third company was equipped with 6 "Wild Bee" self-propelled howitzers, plus Borussia ammunition transport vehicles. The "Wild Bee" self-propelled howitzers were mainly used on the Soviet-German battlefield before this, and used fire support and anti-tank operations, which played a certain role. However, using medicine to fight tanks, some German branches also believed that this was a waste. The "Wild Bee" self-propelled howitzers participated in the battle of Kursk. A total of 10,000 "Wild Bee" self-propelled howitzers were invested in this battle. Several times more than in history.

Now it is this damn "wild bee" self-propelled howitzer that brought huge casualties to the Chinese Expeditionary Force on Utah Beach. Eisenhower immediately met Song Yuhang's request, because Utah Beach was the first target of the Allied forces' attack, and the setback of the offensive will affect the morale of the subsequent troops.

The beachhead of Utah, which was the least expensive in history, has already flowed into blood. So what would the beach in history be like, where the US military piled up on the beach for days and could not even get to Sherman tanks? Song Yuhang was a little unimaginable.

Now the war situation in Europe seems to be affecting the pulse of the whole world. Song Yuhang knew that after successfully landing at 6, he might have to return to China, because there was a situation of separation in China, and the civil war must be slaughtered in the bud. The slightly stable Far East must not have any accidents. This is the territory that the Chinese people exchanged for their lives and blood. It can be said that they took huge risks to get back what they originally belonged to, and they must never allow any mistakes.

The secret power released by Chang Tian made Song Yuhang feel slightly relieved. The first thing the US military investigation team did after entering the Far East was to investigate the advantages of US armored tanks over Soviet tanks. As a result, the live ammunition comparison and the battlefield investigation were compared. The members of the US military investigation team were extremely ashamed.

They can't even find a model in many American tanks that can compete with the Russian Stalin II heavy tanks? Head-on competition is even more of a luxury. Erman is not a rival, Hong Gan, and the Soviet army's armored forces are so large that it is beyond the imagination of the Americans. The Soviet Union seems to be hiding its strength? They don't want to consume more in the face of Germany. If it weren't for China's dispatch of troops in the Far East, they might not have forced the Soviets to shake out their brother. Obviously, what they shook out was just the tip of the iceberg.

After the investigation of the US investigation team and the cooperation of China effectively, the US military investigation team learned that the Chinese Expeditionary Force used gunboat aircraft and incendiary bombs as the main means. It was only after the surprise attack that the Soviet Army's 2nd Tank Army was annihilated. Moreover, the Soviet Army did not dispatch the air force, and air supremacy was always in the hands of the Chinese. Moreover, the losses of the Chinese Expeditionary Force were far greater than what they claimed.

When such a report appeared on Truman's desk, Truman realized that the Red Empire was not as strong as the outside but the middle. Perhaps the Far East was just an exception. Truman was full of timidity about the red behemoth kneeling in Europe.

Song Yuhang was thinking about the "intermittent gap between domestic and foreign relations, and the US Army's First Division and the Sword Division, the regiment, as well as the head troops, opened a slaughter on the Maha Beach to rush to climb the beach.

The bodies of soldiers of the U.S. soldiers were floating on the sea surface, and abandoned items were everywhere on the beach. The bodies of American soldiers rolled back and forth with the waves. The subsequent soldiers had to climb forward in the sea stepping on their companions' bodies. The rain of bullets poured down from the high ground quickly turned them into corpses.

Compared with Utah Beach, Omaha Beach is a world of difference. If Utah Beach is hell, then Omaha Beach will definitely be the 19th floor of hell.

In history, Omaha Beach was the most costly of the five beaches, and has always been known as the "bloody Omaha". Song Yuhang listened to the heart-wrenching shouts of the US military commander on the radio, and suddenly remembered the later generations. The meeting site commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 6th of Normandy was located on Omaha Beach. The shocking war scenes of the classic war film "Save the Soldier" filmed by famous Hollywood director Spielberg reflect the tragic battle on the beaches of Omaha.

The two US troops who boarded the 6th on Omaha Beach were almost all suppressed by the Germans in the water or by the wreckage of transport boats. Eisenhower had no choice but to order the Fifth Army to continue to send reserves. Compared with the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which fought bloody battles on the beach at Utah, which had not retreated until death, Eisenhower was extremely ashamed of the performance of the US 6th Army, but at the same time he was glad that he insisted that Song Yuhang personally commanded his expeditionary force to participate in the battle of the 6th.

Omaha is located on the east side of Utah Beach, a beach that is 1,000 meters long between the mouth of the Vill River in the southern end of the Cottontan Peninsula and the Port of Basing. The coast is a steep cliff slope of more than 30 meters high, with four deep valleys washed out by sea water, becoming a natural exit to the 6th boat. The drop between the high and low tides on the beach is about Garmis, the beach is hard sandy land with towering pebbles embankments on it, and behind it are sand dunes, meadows, and woods. There are three small villages along the way.

The houses are made of thick stones, surrounded by fields. The ridges of the fields are covered with small trees. This is Flying Astronomy and mines. The four exits are sealed with mines and steel and concrete obstacles. There are old strong support points on the coast, equipped with machine guns and anti-tank guns, and a castle is also built on the cliff, with extremely powerful artillery inside, and the artillery fire can cover the entire range. There are 6 coastal artillery on the cliff of Hawke, which poses a great threat to the activities of sea warships.

The reason why the Allies chose to board the 6th place was because from the mouth of the Vill River to Alomonchi, the location was very important. This five-kilometer-long coast could only be boarded 6th place, and the rest of the areas were cliffs and could not board the 6th place at all. In addition, the Allies believed that the defenders here were a regiment of the 6th coastal defense division, which had no early troops or motor vehicles, and most of the soldiers were reserves, and their combat effectiveness was very poor. In fact, in mid-March, Rommel transferred the elite field troops from Saint-Lo, to strengthen the defense of the Normandy district, and a main regiment of the division was deployed in Omaha. The Allied intelligence agencies did not find out where the strong division was going until the 6th place was launched. It was too late.

In Omahaden 6, there is a regiment of the US Army's First Division and the Second Division. The O formation commanded by Rear Admiral Hall was responsible for transporting it. At 3:00 on the 2nd calendar, the transfer area was reached. At that time, the wind was five level and the waves were high. An old 6 boat was sunk due to the strong wind and waves. The powerful soldiers carried on the boat were struggling on the sea.

Most of the soldiers on board the 6 boats who did not overturned were silly. In addition, the Shanghai water hit the boat, and the soldiers were cold and wet. When they arrived at the beach, the soldiers were exhausted.

What's worse is that in the fire preparations before the Allies landed on 6, in order to achieve tactical suddenness, the area was not bombed during the pre-air fire preparations. At 5:50 on February 2, the naval gun fire support fleet consisting of two battleships and four cruisers and "transport destroyers" carried out forty minutes of naval gun fire preparations. However, because they were afraid of German shore gun shooting at Cape Hawk, the warships only fired at long distances, with very low accuracy.

At 6:00, the Mingruidi bomber carried out direct aviation fire preparations on the German defensive positions, and dropped bombs to the island, but the clouds were low and thick when the towering were low and thick. The pilot was afraid of accidentally hurting his troops, so he deliberately delayed the bomb drop in seconds. As a result, the Haichi bombs fell kilometer away, so most of the German defenses and fire points were intact. When the Allied fire preparations ended, the German artillery fire began to fire.

The plan is to accompany the Water 6 tanks that provide timely fire support on the 6th. Among the ugly vehicles in the western section, 10,000 were sunk due to the strong wind and waves within a few minutes after they were launched. The remaining vehicles had hoes. The driver's skill was able to overcome the wind and waves and sail on the beach. The other three were attributed to the initiative of a tank Captain Ding6. He saw that the first tank sank in the wind and waves as soon as he was launched. He immediately ordered the boat door to close and send the remaining three directly to the beach.
