The plan was to let them land in the south-west Kai - per Monty. The shore was expected to be lost with an eventual withdrawal of the remaining coastal forces, as best possible, to the real perimeter defence. Thereafter the Germans ashore would be eliminated, plus dramatic loss of supply shipping. The RAF, withdrawn west, (hence why airfields in Wales for example were so important to preserve), would have a strike field-day as, being inland, the Germans would have less combat airtime than on the coast.
