why didnt they send in heavy bombers to take out the beach structures? were there AA guns?

Bombers did go in, and in fact missed their targets completely. They were too afraid of hitting their own men, and layed down their bombs well off target.

That's really too bad, the poor soldiers wouldn't have had a very hard time if the bombardments had hit their target http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/frown.gif
