"General, Olders and Mulgrave are under fierce German artillery bombardment!"
At US 1st Army Corps headquarters, Major General Thomas reported to Lieutenant General Omar Bradley.
"Hmph! The Germans really do intend to cross the strait from those two locations. Order the 5th Infantry Division and the 8th Infantry Division to hold their positions at all costs. Use the defensive fortifications to inflict casualties on the Germans' living forces. When necessary, reinforcements will support them!" Lieutenant General Omar Bradley ordered.
"Yes, General. However, the German artillery fire is extremely fierce. The front reports that they have even come under attack from heavy artillery of over 200 millimeters in caliber. The defensive works have suffered severe damage, and casualties are considerable as well." Major General Thomas was somewhat worried.
Not to mention that once the German offensive began, they would certainly deploy large numbers of fighter planes and carrier-based aircraft for air cover. Although the Americans had an Infantry Division each at Olders and Mulgrave, stopping the German offensive would undoubtedly be extremely difficult.
"Send our Heavy Artillery Brigade over as reinforcements. The 1st Armored Division, the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division, and the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division can also begin concentrating near the strait. If we cannot stop the Germans from landing, then let them land. However, I would very much like to see the expressions on the Germans' faces after our Armored Forces crush every last one of their landing troops beneath their tracks!" Lieutenant General Omar Bradley ordered.
"Yes, General." Major General Thomas nodded.
Although the German military held a tremendous advantage, if the US Armored Forces launched an attack shortly after the German military landed, the Germans certainly would not be able to withstand it. When that time came, Germany would pay a dreadful price.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
