Chapter 30 Miscalculation
Ernst Utd Air Force Marshal Ernst Utd had no choice but to give him his scepter to congratulate him. It was originally a very powerful thing, but now the situation is so urgent that it is not in that mood.
"His Marshal, a big wedge was cut between our two armies by the Allies, and the connection between the front and the rear has been cut off..."
The Marshal Ernst Uted, who had been running at the speed of sprinting, was already stunned with his eyes wide open. As for what the officer who introduced him to the situation, he almost didn't hear anything. In his mind, he was just savoring what the Air Force General Albert Kesselin said.
"We can severely damage their fleet, then we will be successful in coastal defense operations, and it's time to retreat!"
This was what General Albert Kesselin told him when he was mobilizing the army group. The Allied Navy was severely damaged, which was the reason why he mobilized the army group. He thought that under the circumstances at that time, if the attacks were successful, the Allied forces might be able to be eliminated on the beach. But now... when he came to his senses, the officer who reported was saying the last sentence.
"According to our estimates, the Allies have invested about 4 to 5 airborne divisions, as well as equals or more mechanized divisions. It is expected that when their airship groups land, more infantry divisions and tank divisions will arrive. Such attacks are expected to be about 20 to 30 divisions."
In fact, in the airborne field, in addition to the five airborne divisions that were originally airborne, there have been 7 armored infantry divisions landing with meteorites. Even due to the increase in armored forces, the Allies have begun to conquer the towns near the landing field as the basis for future resistance to the German attacks on both sides. For this reason, the Allies have dispatched more than 10,000 large aircraft such as bombers and transport aircraft. If meteorite transport vehicles are used only, up to 10,000 light armored vehicles can be transported at one time.
In other words, the tanks of these armored infantry divisions were still moving forward slowly on those 3,000 airships. If the Germans were going to attack, then it was the opportunity now. The only problem was that there was no infrared interference device prepared by General Albert Kesselin here. In this battlefield that was almost unilaterally transparent to soldiers, how should this battle be fought?
"Oh, my God..."
Ernst Utd Air Force Marshal, who often drank too much and was named "Drunk Cat", stared at this time with his eyes wide open and said a sentence repeatedly from his trembling lips.
"We want to fight back, fight back...we..."
This reaction made the adjutant around him worried, and he pulled the sleeves of the Marshal Ernst Uted.
"Yes, Lord Marshal, we are going to fight back, but what are we going to do?"
Although his adjutant asked this, in fact, he was just a reminder that facing other officers with such a look at this time would affect his image. Finally, this gentle pull made Ernst Uted Air Force Marshal come to his senses. At least he had realized that the scene in front of him was indeed too painful.
He forced himself to hold on to the shock in his heart, and reached out to unbutton his chest pocket. Unfortunately, his trembling fingers had been unbuttoned several times, and then he realized that everyone was watching him again, so he stopped.
"Oh, I know the situation, contact General Kesselin, the commander of the Air Force Atlantic Barriers!"
He gave a perfunctory order and continued to move his hands. Finally, he unbuttoned the damn button, and then he took out an exquisite wine pot from there. Then, in everyone's surprised eyes, he raised his head and poured all the wine in the wine pot into his mouth. The other officers looked at his throat worriedly, and it squirmed up and down.
"ha……!"
The sound in his throat was a sense of satisfaction, and the other officers who knew the situation of the war also felt that they needed some spirits to relieve their pressure. However, the Air Marshal Ernst Uted, who had drunk the wine, was excited at this time. While putting the wine pot in his pocket, he shouted his orders.
"Don't stop, everyone will take action and immediately answer General Kesseling's phone number..."
In fact, the German army had already taken action at this time. The army group operating at the Normandy Beach received the order from their immediate boss, General Albert Kesselin, and began to attack the Allied paratroopers behind him. Even General Albert Kesselin, even equipped them with infantry from more than a dozen coastal defense divisions. The only opportunity for the Germans now is to eliminate the Allied paratroopers dropped to restore the front line.
The plan, if Albert Kesselin thought, should be to destroy all the "Atlantic Barriers" and all the troops re-entered the mobile combat state. At the same time, a large number of air forces must be transferred back from the Eastern Front to compete with the Allies for air supremacy. Only in this way can the state of the Western Front be stabilized again. As for the Eastern Front, according to the Air General Albert Kesselin, the German army should have long withdrawn and throw it to the Chinese Federation to fight against the Soviets.
Unfortunately, he was not the maker of the overall strategy, so he had no choice but to decide such a thing. But at this time the battle on the ground had begun and immediately became cruel.
In the black night, fierce battles were breaking out in the inside and outside of the French town and in the nearby fields. The light columns of searchlights and the flashes of shells when they exploded, the attackers shouted, while the defenders greeted them with bullets that looked like raindrops.
Almost everyone opened their mouths, hoping to get some air from the battlefield filled with smoke. This is a small town defended by an Allied Airborne Division. The 10-kilometer field behind them is the airborne field. The entire airborne field was full of troops, and they drove in all directions. The meteorites were pushed horizontally, and the infantry behind were nervously loading sandbags and then throwing them into the cabin.
For infantry, this is their means to deal with the Germans, and everyone became nervous when facing the Germans' reactions.

However, there were groups of "Amina gunboats" in the sky. General Douglas MacArthur, commander-in-chief of the Allied Army, almost all the air gunboats in his hands. As for the other medium bombers, they were all used to drag meteorites. Heavy bombers were used to tow the "meteorite airdrop" carrying armored power.
It is worth noting that the "meteorite airdrop cabin" has power, which is a common thing at this moment. Although they still cannot fly freely, the powered rotor still provides a lot of improvement capabilities and makes landing easier. However, this powered "meteorite airdrop cabin" transports only heavy equipment. As for the infantry, they still use the "meteorite airdrop cabin" that is overthrown as a defensive obstacle, so naturally it is this cheap and worthless thing.
The "Amina Gunboat" in the sky, they kept in touch with the command posts at the battalion level on the ground. Each airborne battalion had a dual-plane unit of "Amina Gunboat" aircraft to support it. This is why the 101 Airborne Division has been attacking since the landing. However, after taking down this town, they were attacked by tanks and infantrymen from the German Armored Infantry Division.
At this moment, they had been in this French town for two hours, with machine guns in the windows, and they were spraying flames from the windows. The Germans' attack method in the field was as always, with tanks in front and infantry behind. At this moment, the German artillery was firing a large number of smoke bombs in front of the town to hinder the use of infrared night vision instruments for Allied soldiers.
Almost everyone's bullets and shells were just fired into the smoke. Everyone's eyes were staring at the smoke that had interfered with the infrared night vision system, worried that the next group of tanks should emerge from it.
Fortunately, when looking from the sky, especially those tanks attacking and shooting, the huge infrared features formed when firing, gave a good image of the "Amina Gunboat" in the sky. Two "Amina Gunboats" sideways the fuselage and circles in the sky on the battlefield. Some Germans' 25mm anti-aircraft guns kept passing near the fuselage.
The goal of leading the captain is the real goal of this crew - ground fire support, and the other one behind is to use shrapnel to clear all air defense firepower. The 50mm automatic cannon on the aircraft constantly ejects flame tongues, and clusters of iron and fire flowers bloom on the ground.
