"It's not this important, General!" Halke replied: "I will be responsible for the mistakes we made in the intelligence. But what we should consider now is how to solve these problems in front of us!"

"Oh, is that?" Eisenhower said: "Solve the problem? Can you?"

"I may not!" said Hark, "but someone may be able to do it!"

"So, tell me who is the 'person' you said?" Eisenhower said: "I hope the person you told me is not the 'Legend Sergeant'!"

"General Patton!" said Halk, "General Patton implemented a deception plan in Dover. Now, since the Germans have seen through our plan, General Patton can return to the command headquarters to command the troops!"

Eisenhower couldn't help but be stunned, then nodded.

So General Patton was transferred back to the command center that night to participate in the command.

"No, we can't continue to fight like this!" As soon as Patton arrived at the command center, he denied Montgomery's plan.

Eisenhower knew that Patton was not in harmony with Montgomery, so this meeting was a private meeting of several American generals... Eisenhower actually wanted to talk to Patton in private. The problem was that he didn't know much about military affairs, so he invited Bradley to join him.

"Is there any problem if I continue to fight like this?" Bradley asked.

"Of course!" said Patton: "We poured a large number of shells and bombs on the enemy's defense line. Although we can blow it up one day, when is the problem? How do we know whether it will cause to the enemy's fortifications and armored forces... We don't know anything, we can only bomb it day after day, guessing that the enemy may collapse, but perhaps the enemy is hiding in the second line or even further away, and will launch a counterattack when we land!"

Hearing this, Eisenhower and Bradley were speechless.

"Is this Montgomery's plan?" Patton laughed: "The command of the battle should not be 'stabilizing', nor should it be launched based on a clearly defined front. Only strange and rigid guys will make such a shit plan!"

Eisenhower couldn't help rolling his eyes, believing that it was right not to let Montgomery attend the meeting.

"So what should we do?" General Bradley asked.

"Log on the Brittany Peninsula!" Patton pointed to the map and said: "This rhino horn will be something outside the German defense circle. We will take it as a landing port and accumulate the strength of two armored divisions to break through the enemy's defense line under the cover of bombers and combat power!"

"You're crazy!" Bradley shouted: "Our tanks are not their opponent!"

Eisenhower also objected: "Joe, maybe you don't know that the Germans are equipped with new tanks, and our 'Sheerman' is simply toys in front of them!"

"Of course I know this!" Barton replied: "But we have air supremacy, and their new tanks will become scrap iron one by one under the attack of our fighter jets, and then it is when 'Sheerman' crushes their defense line!"

Objectively speaking, Patton's combat plan is correct... This is what it should be when having air supremacy.

But the relatively conservative Eisenhower and Bradley also denied this "risk" plan.

But this negation is not really a negation.

Bradley revised Patton's plan, and then gave it another name, "Cobra Plan", and then went into actual combat...

(Note: This behavior was once considered plagiarism, but it still happened with Eisenhower's knowledge, and it is likely to be some means used to prevent the plan from being rejected by Montgomery)

The focus of this plan is to dig a foothold along the French coast, the Brittany Peninsula, and then concentrate two armored divisions to implement breakthroughs at this foothold.

This is very similar to the German "blitzkrieg"... but it is understandable. There is no copyright issue in the tactics on the battlefield. Moreover, "blitzkrieg" has high requirements for air supremacy, and whoever has air supremacy will be able to play.

At this time, air supremacy is in the hands of the Allies, so it is useless.

The impact of this plan is that... the Allies need to ensure smooth traffic so that their tanks can pass through.

So, the Allied bombing suddenly changed by 180 degrees: it was originally to destroy French roads, railways and bridges with all their might, but suddenly it no longer targeted these.

To be precise, Allied bombing turned into bombing road targets with incendiary bombs, while heavy bombs only bombed roads and places outside bridges.

"Marson, I think it's time to retreat!" Qin Chuan, who was in the fortifications in the bunker, reported to Rommel.

"What?" Rommel was a little confused.

"The enemy's bombing is different from the past!" Qin Chuan said: "They no longer aim to blow up bridges and roads!"

"You mean... they did it intentionally?" Rommel asked.

The bomb fell from the sky, and the Allies also used incendiary bombs to bomb the road, so Rommel thought that the Allies had just dropped the accuracy of bomb drops.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "I think they did this intentionally, with the purpose of launching a counterattack with armored forces! We should plan our retreat in advance because we cannot retreat during the day!"

This is the embarrassing part of the German army... This is determined by the lack of air supremacy. If you fight with the US army during the day, you will have to bear it and have no choice.

After thinking about it, Rommel said, "You are right, we will enter the retreat procedure tonight!"

So, that night, the main force of the 21st Armored Division retreated to the defense line in Clais, leaving only a few infantry companies and engineer companies in the fortifications in the "Utah Beach" area.

The infantry company symbolically made some defenses in fortifications, causing the Allies to mistakenly think that there were still people in the defense line, while the engineer company left behind to bomb bridges and break roads or lay mines for landmines... The roles of the enemy and us changed dramatically, and the German army, who had been building roads before, became a goal to break the road.

However, the significance of breaking roads in these plains in northern France is not very important. With the state where the American "Sheerman" tank can be converted into a bulldozer at any time, it is easy to build a new road from the side to bypass it.

But this is not the point of the problem. The point is that the US armored division will slow down.

So, whenever the US armored troops arrived in front of the German defense line and wanted to launch an attack, they found that it was already dark... When the sky was dark, the US armored division did not dare to launch an attack.
