The guy on the phone is not calling for an airstrike. He is most likely reporting back to command on if the beach is held or not. Sending back reports on casualties. To early for an airstrike.

Also 51's weren't operating on the Normandie as much as you think. 51's were still doing bombing escorts. When you call in an airstrike you would most likely see the 47, which was probably one of the best ground-attack planes that the allieds had.
