In late March 1940, the armies of the Three Reichs formed Army Group D.

The entire Army Group D consists of eight infantry armies and one armored army, with a total of 80 infantry divisions, five armored divisions, and two heavy artillery brigades, with a total strength of more than 1.4 million people.

In addition, the Navy will also invest three Marine Divisions in this battle. In addition to investing a large number of fighter planes to assist in the battle, the Air Force will also invest in two airborne regiments to assist in the battle.

The commander of Army Group D, Marshal Rundstedt, was appointed, the deputy commander was appointed by General Guderian, the commander of the 1st Armored Group, and the chief of staff was appointed by General Manstein.

In Hess's plan, Marshal Rundstedt would be the future commander of the Atlantic Defense Line, fully responsible for the defense of the Western Front. Of course, after defeating the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, there was actually nothing to guard against on the western defense line.

If the Eagle Country on the other side of the ocean wants to pose a threat to the Third Reich, it must first defeat the Imperial Navy. Otherwise, it would be impossible to pose a threat to the Third Reich.

The time for the landing operation against the Empire on which the sun never sets is set on the 41st, which happens to be April Fool's Day. Even if the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets learns that the Third Reich is going to launch an attack on this day, it must still doubt the authenticity of the time.

March 8, Calais, western Gaul.

The headquarters of Army Group D of the Third Reich was located here. The top brass of the army group and the commanders of each group army are all gathered here.

"Everyone, launching a landing operation on the mainland of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets is the fourth phase of the Sea Lion Project. We have completed the first three stages. However, that is all the responsibility of the Air Force and Navy. In the fourth stage, our army plays the leading role. Therefore, in this battle, we must win!"Marshal Rundstedt looked serious.

Although Rundstedt was already a marshal, the need for promotion was not as great as that of the generals. Of course, if possible, he also hoped to go one step further and become an imperial marshal. But he knew that it would be extremely difficult to be promoted from Field Marshal to Imperial Marshal. Maybe it would not be possible in his lifetime.

However, the destruction of a country, especially an empire that had dominated the world for hundreds of years, would never set on the sun. For For Marshal Rundstedt, it was also the most glorious moment in his military career. If he could destroy the Empire on which the sun never sets, then as the commander of Army Group D, he would definitely be able to leave a mark in history. pen.

On the other hand, if this attack ends in failure, it will be a stain that cannot be washed away. He will never allow such a stain in his life.

"Yes, Your Majesty Marshal!"A group of generals and admirals answered one after another.

They have been thirsty for this battle for a long time. The battle to destroy the country means huge military exploits! After success, they may be able to be promoted again, and even Marshal Yu

"Are all armies ready?"Marshal Rundstedt

"Your Excellency, Marshal, all armies are ready for battle. All units are at full strength!"General Manstein replied.

After the blitzkrieg in Western Europe, the Third Reich replenished its troops and restored them to full strength.

"What about the Air Force and Navy? Have you contacted me yet?"Marshal Rundstedt then asked.

In this battle, the assistance of the air force and navy is indispensable.

Although the Sun Never Sets Strait is not wide, it is not something that army soldiers can swim across by themselves.

More What's more, the sun never sets on the Imperial Army. It has also built strong defense lines in coastal areas, and even built fortresses in many places. It must rely on the navy's battleship bombardment and the air force's bombing to destroy these fortresses. This clears the way for the Army's next landing. Otherwise, if we rely solely on the Army to launch an attack, we don't know how many people will die!

"The Air Force's fighter units and two airborne regiments are ready. As for the navy, the fleet will arrive on time. Three Marine divisions were equally prepared. However, was the Marine Division really the first to initiate this landing operation?"General Manstein asked.

The three marine divisions that the navy invested in this battle will be used for beach landings.

In the attack plan, the Third Reich mainly chose three to attack the mainland of the Empire on which the sun never sets. The landing points were Margate, New Romney and Eastbourne.

As for Dover, which is closest to Calais, it was not included in the landing operations of the Third Reich. Although the Third Reich gathered heavy troops in Calais , pretending to be landing at Dover, but that was just a show, creating an illusion for the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, thus confusing them and allowing them to deploy heavy troops in Dover.

In fact, the Japanese The Empire did indeed do that. They deployed an entire army group in Dover, that is, 400,000 people. They also built a solid coastal defense position in Dover, almost turning Dover into a fortress.

Naturally, the Third Reich would not be stupid enough to attack Dover, which was heavily defended by the Empire and had strong fortifications.

"Beach landings are inherently brutal. If the Marines want to fight, let them fight. Anyway, they specialize in this."Marshal Rundstedt didn't care about this.

It's completely understandable that the Navy wants to take credit for this battle.

But the battle against the Empire on which the sun never sets requires the destruction of millions of Imperial Army troops.. This in itself means a huge military exploit. Even if the Marine Corps is responsible for beach landing, it is nothing at all. What's more, beach landing is inherently very tragic and dangerous. Even if there is sufficient firepower preparation, the casualties will be very small. It will be very big. If the Marine Corps wants to resist this drudgery, the Army will naturally be happy to see it succeed.

"Everyone, now that everything is ready. So, on the 41st, the landing officially begins. The first one to land was in New Rodney. This was followed by a landing at Eastburnt and Margate. After the various units of the Imperial Army successfully land on the beach after the Marine Corps, the Army will go ashore and launch an attack on the deep positions to defeat the Empire on which the sun never sets!"Marshal Rundstedt ordered

"Yes, Your Majesty Marshal!"The generals replied one after another._To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
