king of unspoken rules

.

Compared with Utah Beach, spn Omaha Beach is simply a world away. It is the most expensive one among the five landing beaches, and it is known as "Bloody Omaha".That's exactly the kind of history that's going to be recreated in the movie 'Saving Private Ryan', an absolute hot scene.

The Allies made a series of mistakes here. The Allies believed that the defenders here were a regiment of the 716th Coastal Defense Division. They were both armored forces and motor vehicles. Most of the soldiers were reserves, and their combat effectiveness was very poor.In fact, in mid-March, Rommel transferred the 3nd Infantry Division, an elite field force, from Saint-Lo to strengthen the defense force in the Normandy area, and one of the main regiments of the division was deployed here.

At 6:6 a.m. on June 12, the landing troops were scheduled to arrive at the transfer area. At that time, the wind on the sea was level 10, and the waves were 300 meters high. [-] landing craft capsized due to the strong wind and waves, and [-] soldiers on board were on the sea. struggle.Most of the soldiers on the unsinkable landing craft were seasick and vomiting non-stop. With sea water pouring into the boat, the soldiers were cold and wet.By the time they reached the beach, the soldiers were exhausted.

It can only be said that the work of the crew, especially the soldiers who are going to conduct amphibious landings, is not something that ordinary people can bear. Even after some training, they still can't bear it when they actually encounter it.Regarding this point, Tang Shu has marked it in the script, so be sure to seek the truth.

To make matters worse, in the pre-landing fire preparations, the Allied forces initially did not bomb the area during the pre-aircraft fire preparations in order to achieve tactical surprise. At 6:6 on June 4, several battleships, 12 cruisers, and 10 destroyers formed a ground naval artillery fire support ship. Four [-] minutes of naval artillery firepower preparations, but due to the fear of the German shore artillery counterattack at Cape Hawke, the warships It's just shooting at a long distance, and the accuracy rate is very low. [

After the war, it was found out that these so-called coastal guns were only disguised by concrete pillars.At 480 o'clock, 26 B-1285 bombers prepared for direct aviation firepower against the German defensive positions.The throw amounted to 30 tons, but the clouds were low and thick at that time, and the pilots were afraid of accidentally injuring their own troops.Deliberately delaying the delivery for 1285 seconds, as a result, all 5 tons of bombs fell [-] kilometers away.Therefore, most of the German fortifications and firepower points were intact.

As soon as the Allied firepower preparations were over, the German artillery fire began to fire.The amphibious tanks that were planned to accompany the landing troops on land to provide timely fire support, 32 of the 27 tanks in the western section sank due to strong wind and waves within a few minutes after launching, and 5 of the remaining 2 tanks were drivers The technology is superb to overcome the wind and waves and drive to the beach.The remaining three can only be said to be blessed by God.It can be seen how embarrassing this world's largest landing is.

The first wave of 1500 soldiers began to attack the land, because there was an eastward tide in the sea and gunpowder smoke on the shore, making it difficult for the soldiers to distinguish their direction and the formation became chaotic.When landing, the soldiers have to wade through the shallow water area of ​​more than one meter deep and 50 to 90 meters wide, and then pass through the beach with a width of 180 to 270 meters.It was only possible to approach the embankment, and all this was under intensive and fierce German artillery fire.

This has become a collective slaughterhouse for the US military. These 1500 soldiers could not go into combat at all. They had no heavy firepower or long-range firepower. They just struggled to survive in shallow water and on the beach.Of the 8 companies that landed in the first batch, only 2 companies landed on the scheduled beach, but they were also overwhelmed by the firepower of the German army.The underwater demolition team composed of engineers and naval divers suffered heavy casualties, equipment loss and serious damage,

But still overcame difficulties and braved the German artillery fire to start clearing obstacles.Two passages were opened up in the east section, and four passages were opened up in the west section.It's a pity that it was too late to mark the passage before the high tide, and the subsequent landing craft could not find the passage, and they were congested on the beach and allowed to be bombarded by the German army.It can be said that the sacrifices of sappers and naval divers were completely wasted.This also explains the confusion of this landing.

There will always be various accidents in a real war. No matter how detailed and complete the military plan is, there will always be mistakes and omissions in front of the real battlefield. This is one of the charms of war.

This low-level performance made Tang Shu have deep doubts about the quality of Irish soldiers.Well, after careful research, especially communicating with those extras, Tang Shu learned that many of the low-level mistakes were caused by excitement.Well, although these guys are soldiers, they are still very excited about participating in movies, especially Tang Shu movies, and they also want to experience the addiction of movie actors.

That's it.Of course, it's not just because some people are excited, but also because of military professional issues.Although Ireland does provide regular soldiers, regular soldiers do not mean they are elite enough and versatile enough. At least these landing craft during World War II have made it difficult for many soldiers to adapt. Get in touch with similar training.

This caused Tang Shu some headaches, but it would be much easier to find the reason.At least these soldiers have enough obedience and discipline no matter what, as long as they explain carefully, the effect can still be guaranteed.There is no other way but to rehearse a few more times.

The exercise lasted for seven days. Even a temporary soldier felt that he could go to the battlefield and charge like a soldier.And the rehearsal effect is very good, at least a picky guy like Tang Shu thinks he is qualified, as long as he gives an order, he will scurry away with his head in his arms, lie down and pretend to be dead, and even his own mother will not change his face You will know that each group, props, costumes, make-up, blasting, fireworks, and photography are in the process of adjustment, and have initially adapted to the requirements and can keep up.

Everything is going well, but there is one more thing, even if it can be said that the already inhuman Young Master Tang can't control it, that is the weather. It has been sunny and sunny these days, and it is absolutely perfect for the rehearsal. It's a nice day, but not if you want to do a serious shoot.If you want to reproduce the situation back then, not to mention tidal currents and the like, at least the weather should be similar.

So at this time, all that needs to be done is to wait, the crew is on standby, and the soldiers and actors can relax.Tang Shu strolled casually on the beach, looking at the sky from time to time. According to previous inquiries, there were often strong winds and waves here in this season in previous years. Unexpectedly, there would be an accident this year.And the whole crew can only continue to wait for this.It can be seen that making a movie is really not an easy thing.

In particular, it is even more difficult to shoot movies with big scenes. Not only do you need to consider the venue, but you also need to consider the climate.And under special circumstances, the weather can often cause a lot of trouble. The negative example is Coppola. He encountered a typhoon while filming "Apocalypse Now" and suffered a huge loss of various equipment, which shows how unlucky he is.

Looking at the sky, Tang Shu felt a little regretful. With today's human technology, it is already possible to easily interfere with the weather.But that level of simplicity is obviously not accepted by Tang Shu, and this situation also made him think of one thing, about the Xinghui World Tree, the Xinghui World Tree has many functions, but because of the juvenile period It hasn't shown up yet.When it enters the growth period, the various effects of the Starlight World Tree will appear in sequence.

Tang Shu knew this matter very well before. The most basic ability of the Xinghui World Tree is to adjust the climate and land. Fantastic means to affect the weather.So Tang Shu doesn't care about the weird and hot climate in Africa at all. As long as you have the Xinghui World Tree, the so-called latitude and longitude, and the so-called common sense are not worth mentioning. Goose feather heavy snow.

Sort out the land, things like earthquakes, etc., can also be completely resolved by the control of the Xinghui World Tree, etc. Of course, this has a range. The scope of the control of the Xinghui World Tree at the beginning is not large. The scope is also constantly expanding.But even if the earthquake cannot be controlled and resolved, as long as the Starlight World Tree enters the growth stage, it will be able to detect earthquakes around the world. This is the most accurate earthquake prediction.

Well, this is also one of the trump cards of future religions!Think about it, if Japan learns about this effect, they must be very willing to pay in order to get the forecast.Thinking of these things, Tang Shu showed a smile on his face, really looking forward to it.But the time is not long. Since the world tour last year, Tang Shu has obtained a huge amount of spiritual energy. In the process of purifying the essence, the Starlight World Tree has also received great benefits.

Tang Shu even directly let the Xinghui World Tree absorb nearly one-third of the amount. As long as it absorbs these spiritual energies, it will naturally enter the growth stage. It can be said that it will be completed in a few months at most. There is no way to accurately predict this time, but it is possible to enter at any time.With such a short time, Tang Shu could wait with peace of mind.

After the Xinghui World Tree enters the growth period, Tang Shu's plan in South Africa can be officially carried out, and the timing can be said to be just right, because today's Britain and other national forces that have interests in South Africa cannot tolerate black and white people after all. After the struggle, there must be adjustments or something. At that time, the Chinese arranged by Tang Shu obviously lost enough room to display.Moreover, the political stability is not good for Tang Shu's plan, er, last year's plan.Tang Shu's current plan doesn't really care about those issues anymore.

It's just that Tang Shu has already regarded South Africa as his own. Seeing other countries encroaching on this land, he obviously feels intolerable.

Shaking his head lightly, these things can't be tolerated and can only wait, but fortunately, Tang Shu doesn't have to wait too long.

During the waiting time, Tang Shu wandered around here casually, not only him, but other actors also made the same choice. After all, this kind of weather, under such an environment, can be called the rhythm of a vacation. , These soldiers were not so comfortable in the past, and they had extra pay, so these Irish soldiers were very happy.

And under George's reminder, Tang Shu also knew a very interesting thing, which also happened here in Ireland. It was not only Tang Shu's crew that was filming here, but also another crew, and the film shot by that crew , Tang Shu can also be said to be familiar.It was an interesting encounter.But he didn't wait for Tang Shu to think too much.

The weather on this beach in Ireland did not make Tang Shu wait too long, but within two days, the weather Tang Shu wanted had already arrived, and all departments and actors were ready, and the official shooting was about to begin up.
