Chapter 309 Retire

In the Supreme Command of the British Allied Forces, Eisenhower also held the highest military meeting of the Allied Forces to discuss the current situation of Mandy. The first day of the Battle of Normandy was a failure for the Allied Forces. Although the hundreds of thousands of troops invested attacked the beaches of Normandy, they could no longer move forward and were suppressed by the Germans' tenacious resistance and could not raise their heads on the beach. This battle, which was called the longest day by the Allied Forces, also ended in death, bloodshed and the failure of the Allied Forces.

"General Eisenhower, we have just undergone preliminary verification. The landing troops of the first wave of attack have completely rushed to the beach in Normandy. Half of the troops of the second wave of landing have also boarded the beach in Normandy. So far, nearly 42,000 people have been killed, seriously injured 13,000 people. More than 300 M4 selenium tanks sent to the beach have been almost destroyed. Fortunately, the seriously injured soldiers have been transported from the beach with the acquiescence of the Germans and have been returned to the UK and are undergoing treatment. This is the specific casualties." The British Lieutenant General Morgan, deputy chief of staff of the Allied Army, read out the bad situation on the front line to everyone after the meeting began.

After Morgan's speech, the room was silent. It was quiet that only people could hear the uneasy gasps and the sensation of ants on the floor. The Allied generals didn't know what to say. The casualties were so huge. Although it was within expectations, when facing this situation, they still felt like they couldn't breathe.

Eisenhower, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces, did not say anything either, but he was pale and solemnly playing with the crystal coffee cup in his hand, staring blankly at the ivy pattern on the coffee cup and was stunned. He didn't know what to say. The battle situation on the first day was unfavorable. As the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces, he had an unshirkable responsibility.

"General Eisenhower, how to proceed tomorrow's attack." General Morgan saw that the atmosphere was very depressing, and first broke the calm.

Eisenhower came back to his senses, squeezed out a series of chaotic speculations in his mind, focused his attention on the current situation of the war, glanced at the generals who were sighing, and said angrily, "What's wrong with you? They all looked like eggplants made from frost, like a dead mother. The current situation is unfavorable, but we have also established relatively stable beachhead fortifications on the beach. And on the Jewish beach, we have also occupied part of the German fortifications. Therefore, our prospects are bright, and our victory is about to come."

"That's right, General Eisenhower is right." Allied Chief of Staff and Lieutenant General Smith, under Eisenhower's suggestion, began to actively activate the atmosphere. "We are facing difficulties at present, but all difficulties are temporary. As long as we unite and fully demonstrate the fine style of our Allied People's Division, the mighty division, and the Victory Division, all difficulties can be overcome, and victory must belong to us."

The atmosphere in the room finally began to become lively. Senior Allied generals stared at General Eisenhower with eager eyes, hoping that he, the highest Allied commander, could come up with a new combat plan.

Feeling the extraordinary eyes of everyone, Eisenhower cheered up and said, "Although we have encountered such a problem or such difficulties at that time, I still think that the initiative on the battlefield is in our hands. After a day of fighting, the Germans are already at the end of their strength. They are like a stretched rubber band. As long as we pull it gently, they will completely collapse. So I think tomorrow is the real decisive battle, and tomorrow is the key day for us to break through the beach fortifications. As long as we launch a larger and stronger attack tomorrow tomorrow, we will definitely be able to completely occupy the beaches of Normandy. Do you understand?"

"Yes! We understand." The Allied generals answered firmly.

Eisenhower was very satisfied with the performance of the people. He strode to the combat map hanging on the wall, picked up the silver baton, and issued the latest combat order. "Gentlemen, tomorrow's attack will start at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. The troops that were already on the beach must be concentrated first and rush towards the German fortifications at all costs. Be sure to engage in close combat with the enemy to give full play to our advantage in force and completely urge the German defense. The 5 infantry divisions under the 3rd Group of the United States also put me in the landing of Normandy. The ground troops must do everything possible to completely occupy the Normandy beach.

The Air Force and the Navy must cooperate with all forces, especially the Air Force. You were beaten to death by a flock of pigeons and were scared out of fear. This is a shame for our Allies, this is a manifestation of cowards. Will our great Allies, victorious Allies, and mighty Allies, be afraid of a few pigeons? Don’t find any more reasons. The air support tomorrow must be strengthened. We must do all our strength to occupy the beaches of Normandy, do you understand?"

"Yes! General Eisenhower" Allied generals saluted in unison and expressed their determination to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Army. They firmly believed that the great Allied Army would definitely defeat the enemy and achieve the final victory.

On March 1, 1944, the time passed a short February and directly entered the spring-filled March. The breath of spring became more intense, and all kinds of flowers that were scrambling to bloom on the ground, making the earth look particularly enchanting. However, in the Normandy area of ​​France, it was another scene that was incompatible with spring. The smoke of gunpowder spread on the beach, accompanied by the warm current of the Atlantic Ocean, blowing across the entire Normandy area.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, with the sound of warship shells that shocked the world, the Allied's attack kicked off the second day. Eisenhower mobilized his troops from multiple sides to concentrate all the aces, dog cards, and bad cards in his hands, and carried out the second day's attack. The Allied's only combat purpose was to completely destroy the German defense on the Normandy beach before dark. This was no longer just a matter of victory or defeat in the war, but was escalated to the face of a superpower. With absolute advantage, he could not occupy the small beach, which was equivalent to slapping the Americans hard.

"Boom, boom," one by one, exploded flame groups sublimated on the German beach fortifications. Under the guidance of infantry on the beach, the firepower of Allied warships became more concentrated and the accuracy was greatly improved.

The huge power generated by the concentrated bombardment of large-caliber shells is terrifying to everyone. Just like a powerful magician who is executing the most advanced magic, summoning a popular group, and smashing it dull and accurately on the German fortifications in a overwhelming way.

The artificial earthquake began again, and the heavy shells shaking constantly when they exploded. People could feel this strong swaying far away. The German fortifications suffered another catastrophic blow, and many seriously damaged fortifications could no longer withstand such shelling and collapsed.

"Kill," the Allied soldiers who had been on the beach all night also took advantage of the opportunity to rush towards the German beach fortifications. The sea breeze a night, coupled with the bloody baptism of a day, made these originally energetic Allied soldiers become living wild beasts. They witnessed too many deaths and experienced too many twists and turns. The blue eyes began to shine with blood-like light. Holding a gun, they rushed towards the German fortifications densely like an ant.

The bloody battle began again. Faced with the Allied forces who were not afraid of death, the German soldiers also blocked fearlessly. They fired, fired, loaded, and fired again. They repeated the work for a whole day yesterday, which had become their instinct.

The Normandy Beach, which carried too many deaths, entered a desperate battle. Every minute, countless lives evaporated here. After suffering major casualties, the Allies finally rushed into the fortifications and launched a bloody hand-to-hand battle with the Germans, and used the most direct way to seize control of the Normandy Beach.

At this time, the main force of the German army had actually retreated before the Allied attack began. The great Marshal Gesyun understood very well what it was to stop when he was good. The already broken beach fortifications were difficult to withstand the full baptism of the Allied heavy artillery. In order to avoid the blood of the soldiers, he decisively issued a retreat order, allowing the main force of the German army on the beach to voluntarily withdraw from the beach before the shelling began, leaving only a small number of troops behind the temple. This was also the main reason why the Allied forces quickly rushed into the fortifications.

When Allied soldiers entered the beach fortifications on a large scale, Marshal Gesyun also stood on the hillside more than ten kilometers from the beach, quietly looking at the burning Normandy Beach. Listening to the never-stop explosions and the shooting of guns.

On the road in front of Jintian, there were teams of soldiers who had withdrawn from the beach, and various vehicles slowly retreating. The Arabs, Egyptians, Iraqis, and Germans all retreated backwards in a very chaotic but quite orderly manner. Their faces looked quite tired, but their fighting spirit was still high. On the way to retreat, the fewer soldiers kept looking back and looking at the still bleeding beach.

"Marrior Gesiyun,,," Colonel August walked to Jintian and said, "Marrior Gesiyun, all troops have retreated from the beachfront position. The troops responsible for the rear hall are also retreating. Should we detonate the zha medicine on the beach as planned and completely destroy the fortifications on the beach."

Jinda nodded coldly, "I understand, I will convey my order immediately. Let the retreating troops speed up and retreat to the second line of defense and organize new defensive forces as soon as possible. Tell the soldiers that although we have lost the beach, ours has not lost. We will continue to fight the decisive battle with the Allies. As for the detonation, please contact the engineers in front. Once the troops have withdrawn, they will detonate the zha medicine buried under the fortifications. We will let the Allies taste the taste of explosion.
