It is planned to parachute two American paratrooper divisions on the right wing of the landing field, cut off the German reinforcements from Cherbourg, and cooperate with the landing force to seize the "Utah" beachhead, parachute two Chinese paratrooper divisions and one British paratrooper division on the left flank, and seize the crossing of the Conn Canal Then the first batch of [-] reinforced battalions landed on five beaches and established landing fields.

In the second phase of the attack, Côte d'Azur, Bayeux, Izziny, and Carentin were captured, and in the third phase Brittany was captured, advancing towards the Seine and heading straight for Paris. %&*";

But for Gao Fei, this is undoubtedly just talk on paper. The US First Army and the Third Army formed the US No.12 Army Group, with a strength of nearly 40, and Bradley served as the commander of the Army Group.Bradley planned to sweep across the Brittany Peninsula with the Eighth Army, while the rest of the armies deployed along the lines of Caen and Le Mans, preparing to advance to Paris and encircle the German army in Normandy at a long distance.

However, all of this is only in the plan. The gap between the operational plan and the smooth implementation is very clear. Such a large-scale military operation may end up with many emergencies. Landing on Okinawa and The mainland of Japan has accumulated the most experience and the largest landing operation on the part of the Allies before this, but it is still far from landing in France to open up the second battlefield.

Gao Fei was in the midst of nervous anticipation. In the early morning of May 1945, 5, the huge Overlord operation began. After the large-scale airborne troops landed and the naval and air force fire assaults, the first echelon Bradley was in the British No.5. The army group formed and commanded the US First Army to start beach landings at Omaha and Utah Beach. i^
