Walkthrough

Your ally in the west can't be counted on to hold any of the cities over there, so you basically MUST hold the fifth and sixth cities yourself (Bayeux and Caen, one on each side of your base). It won't be easy, especially since at some points during the mission, there will seriously be so many enemy planes flying over your base that you won't be able to see very well.
 
Start by building another Infantry HQ, then an Engineer building, then three units of Engineers. While you're waiting for that stuff to build, select your other Infantry HQ and use the command all feature to move all five of your existing infantry units to the city of Caen east of your base. Hopefully, the enemy won't attack Caen at all, but if they do, you'll want a backup that can at least stall them for a minute or two.
 
Once you start getting Engineer units ready, you need to crank out a ridiculous number of anti-aircraft batteries and gun emplacements across the top of your base. Ten or so anti-aircraft batteries should be sufficient (at least for the beginning), and you'll want a solid wall of gun emplacements stretching all the way from the water near Caen to the water near Bayeux. Most importantly, you will definitely want as many gun emplacements as you can possibly line up along the water crossing that leads to Bayeux. If they're close enough to the city, the enemy will have to destroy them before they can take the city.
 
Once your absurd base defense is ready, you can carefully start building other buildings. Get a Mechanized HQ and an Armor HQ, then a Motor Pool and an Artillery building. When you can afford it, start building four or more units of Heavy Tanks, then get the upgrades.
 
Sit the tanks right on the Bayeux side of your western gun emplacements. You absolutely can't afford to lose Bayeux, so make absolutely sure those tanks are always kept supplied. Now all you can really do is sit back and take the ridiculous beating that the Allies will proceed to throw at you. Countless aircraft will be destroyed by your anti-aircraft guns, and the debris from them will damage some of your buildings. Make sure you have your Engineers handy to repair any damage as fast as possible.
 
Keep an eye on Caen at all times, too. If it looks like it might be attacked, split up your tanks to cover both cities. Build more if you have to - by now you've probably noticed that Rommel, your ally to the west, is not going to hold much ground on his own.
 
If you have spare time, money, and supplies, use them to construct even more anti-aircraft batteries. You can never have too many of them, especially near the end of the mission. Manage to hold Caen and Bayeux until the timer runs out, and you'll win the mission.
