Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

The sky continues.

【Login confirmed. 】

[The problem is that the Normandy beaches have complex terrain, drastic tidal changes, and the German fortifications make landing difficult! ]

【But I have to post it. 】

【For this purpose, the Allied forces on the Western Front were fully prepared. 】

[More than 150 million soldiers from the United States, Britain, Canada and other countries gathered in Britain. ]

[They come from different branches of the military, including the army, navy, air force, and special forces. ]

[On the Army side, a large number of infantry and armored divisions were assembled. ]

[The Navy formed a large joint fleet, including battleships, cruisers, destroyers, landing craft and other ships. ]

[There are thousands of them.]

[The Air Force was not to be outdone and assembled thousands of fighters, bombers and transport planes to provide air cover and support for the landing operations.]

[A month before the landing, the number of troops assembled in Britain had reached 300 million.]

[Including 150 million U.S. troops, 20 Canadian troops, 4 Australian and New Zealand troops, 4 Polish troops, 4 Free French troops, and 1 Belgian and Dutch troops.]

[5 tanks and armored vehicles of various types! ]

【45 trucks.】

【45 tons of explosives.】

The sky curtain exploded at this moment.

"Snatch the Young Master?"

Roosevelt has set the number.

"This one battle had more tanks and armored vehicles than all of Germany's tanks and armored vehicles combined during the entire World War II."

"These were all shipped over by ship. What a terrifying transportation capacity this is!"

"The world's first industrial country during World War II was so confident."

"And this is just the Western Front. The Eastern Front also provided the Soviet Union with hundreds of thousands of trucks."

"When a war really breaks out, finance and everything else are just empty talk. Food, steel, and oil are what determine the war."

"So who says that the Soviet Union was the only one using human waves? The United States and Britain were still outnumbered. "

"Because the Germans are really good at fighting, we can't defeat them with equal forces."

Why is there still Poland?

"France, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium... The Avengers, right?"

The sky continues.

[The Allies established a large number of material warehouses throughout the UK, storing a large amount of weapons, ammunition, food, medicine, fuel and other materials. ]

[These materials need to be transported from the UK to the Normandy beaches through a complex transportation network. ]

[In order to solve the problem of material transportation, the Allies specially designed an artificial port called "Mulberry". ]

[It consists of multiple huge concrete caissons and floating docks, which can be quickly set up after landing to facilitate the unloading and transportation of materials. ]

【While making good preparations for combat effectiveness and supplies. 】

[We must also try our best to weaken the German army's combat effectiveness. ]

[In order to increase their chances of winning, the Allies played the largest "scam" in history. ]

[Use intelligence warfare to make Hitler believe that the real landing site is Calais! ]

[In order to fool Hitler, the Allies directly created a "ghost army" - the First United States Army Group (FUSAG), commanded by the famous General Patton! ]

[They filled the English port of Dover with inflatable tanks, wooden airplanes and cardboard landing craft.]

[We even had many extras pretend to be soldiers and walk around the camp! ]

[The photos of the army gathering taken by the German reconnaissance plane were actually all Hollywood-level props! ]

[The Allies also deliberately let German spies "accidentally" obtain false intelligence, making Hitler firmly believe that Calais was the real landing point! ]

[These deceptive actions have achieved remarkable results.]

[The German army was successfully misled and deployed a large number of troops in the Calais area. ]

[The defense of the Normandy region is relatively weak. ]

[All 15 divisions of the most elite 19th Army are in Calais, while there are only 6 divisions in Normandy. ]

[This also includes many old, weak, sick and disabled reserve troops. ]

[Even Rommel, the Desert Fox, went home to celebrate his wife’s birthday the day before D-Day! ]

[The Allied deception created favorable conditions for the Allied landing.]

Outside the sky.

Wu Qi stood in the Wei military camp, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of admiration.

"What a saying: 'The hard will be sharpened, and the sharp will be blunted'."

Wu Qi opened his mouth and praised:
"These people of later generations are well aware of the principle of 'showing inability when capable, and showing not to use when using.' When the enemy is weak, make him strong; when the enemy is strong, make him weak. This is the best way to use the army."

"They were able to mobilize the entire country's strength to create an illusion, even calculating every decision of the enemy."

“It’s definitely worth learning.”

Wu Qi paused, a sigh flashing in his eyes.

"However, an intelligence war of this scale requires extremely strong organizational capabilities. If my Wei State can have such execution capabilities..."

And in the Three Kingdoms.

In the Northern Expedition Army’s camp.

Zhuge Liang also highly recognized the Allied intelligence warfare.

"Wonderful!"

Jiang Wei, who was standing by, asked curiously, "Why is the Prime Minister so impressed?"

Zhuge Liang pointed at the sky curtain and said, "Look, Bo Yue, this allied force not only created false intelligence, but also created a whole set of false military situation."

"From the fake unit numbers to the fake logistics deployment, everything is linked together, which is amazing."

"Intelligence deception on this scale requires long-term planning and precise execution, and is the pinnacle of strategy."

"A strategy that uses the power of the entire nation."

"A superior strategy in terms of direction!"

Jiang Wei suddenly thought of something: "Prime Minister, can we learn from this method to deal with Sima Yi?"

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment.

“It is better to take its spirit than its form.”

"Wei State has spies everywhere, we can do the opposite."

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang was also writing something.

And on the sky.

Netizens mainly complained.

《Allied Forces: There is no reward for guessing correctly, but there is a penalty for guessing incorrectly.》

"The UK and the US are just too cunning. They are experts at making up fake news and manipulating public opinion. In comparison, the Germans are too honest."

"At this time, the Allies had already infiltrated Germany like a sieve."

"The British intelligence agencies have played an indispensable role."

"San Dezi's intelligence department was a great contributor to the Allied forces in World War II!"

"Actually, Hitler guessed Normandy based on his intuition. This is the intuition of an art student!"

"Rommel guessed the place right, but got the time wrong."

"In comparison, Germany's intelligence organization is simply kindergarten level."

……

The sky continues.

[On June 1944, 6, the Allied Forces' "Operation Overlord" officially kicked off. ]

[This day is also known as "D-Day!". ]

[In the early hours of the morning, a large-scale aerial bombardment was launched. ]

[More than 2200 Allied bombers roared towards the Normandy coast and launched a fierce bombing of German fortifications, artillery positions, communication facilities and other targets.]

[For a moment, flames shot up into the sky and explosions were deafening on the Normandy coast.]

[However, due to the interference of clouds, the bombing effect was not ideal, especially the coastal bombing on Omaha Beach, which failed to effectively destroy the German defense facilities. ]

[Immediately afterwards, 24000 American, British, and Canadian airborne troops boarded 1200 aircraft.]

【A large-scale airborne operation was carried out behind the Normandy coast.】

[Their mission is to occupy key bridges, roads and strongholds to open up channels for subsequent landing troops. ]

[The 101st Airborne Division of the United States landed first behind Utah Beach at 1:30 a.m., trying to secure the exit of the beach;]

[The 82nd Airborne Division began landing at 2:30.]

[Responsible for capturing the bridge on the right side of the beach. ]

[However, due to thick cloud cover, many airborne troops failed to land accurately in the designated area, often missing their targets by several miles.]

[Many paratroopers fell directly into the swamp or German positions, suffering heavy casualties! ]

[A US paratrooper recalled: "We were shot like ducks at a shooting range!"]

[But even so, these brave paratroopers still quickly assembled at their respective landing points and launched a fierce battle with the German army. ]

[Around 6:30 in the morning, the Allied amphibious landing force began to attack the Normandy coast. ]

[The Normandy coast was divided into five main landing areas.]

[They are Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, Gold Beach, Juno Beach and Sword Beach. ]

[During the landing process, the soldiers faced fierce fire attacks from the German army. ]

[The Germans set up a large number of fortifications on the beach.]

[Including solid bunkers, artillery positions, machine gun bunkers, etc., the beach is also full of mines and various obstacles such as wooden stakes, barbed wire, and metal tripods. ]

[At Utah Beach, the landing craft deviated from its intended position due to wind direction and current.]

[But fortunately, the German defenses here are relatively weak. ]

[The landing troops quickly broke through the German defense line after paying a relatively small price.]

[And they got in touch with the airborne troops and successfully advanced inland.] (End of this chapter)
