Chapter 697: The Recitation Begins
In this life, you will meet many people, but there are few who are really destined.
In this life, men will meet a lot of women, but there are few who can really be together and have some stories.
Some people are destined not to be together, destined to just pass by.
Wang Chen and Du Yushi are like this, they are destined to just pass by, and no stories will be born!
Early the next morning, Wang Chen got up at half past five.
After washing, he went to the cafeteria for breakfast at six o'clock, and arrived at the classroom at six twenty o'clock, waiting for the arrival of the Yuan Ming and Qing dynasties.
At 6:40, the classroom door opened, and Yuan Mingqing walked in.
"Hello Chief!" As Yuan Mingqing walked into the classroom, Wang Chen raised his chest and gave a military salute to Yuan Mingqing.
"Sit down." Yuan Mingqing spoke, and Wang Chen sat down.
Yuan Mingqing walked in front of Wang Chen, picked up the seven books on the table, and put them back on the No. 3 bookshelf, he walked opposite Wang Chen, sat down, and asked, "How are you preparing?" ”
"The chief can ask questions at any time." Wang Chen put his hands on his thighs and shouted loudly.
"Really?" Yuan Mingqing smiled, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and said: "It seems that you are quite confident in yourself, but I still say that, too confident, that is arrogance!" ”
"The chief is right, but I still say the same thing, and I never feel that I am arrogant, because what I say is the truth." Wang Chen said loudly.
"Very good, student Wang Chen, please give us a brief introduction...... Verdun ~ Battle of the Somme! Yuan Mingqing flicked the cigarette ash, and the assessment began.
"This battle is called the Great War within a Great War, the Great Battle in front of the trenches! The two sides suffered more than 1.3 million casualties, and the 'King of Land Warfare' began to show its might. ”
"In 1916, the Germans launched a major offensive against Verdun, the gateway to Paris and the hub of the French positions! In order to relieve the pressure on Verdun, the Anglo-French forces launched a supportive offensive campaign on the Somme. ”
"On 21 February, the German 5th Army assumed the main attack on Verdun. The front-line strength of the German and French armies is 3:1, and the artillery ratio is 7:1! In order to win, both sides continue to increase the investment of troops! ”
"On the battlefield of 15~30 kilometers in front and 7~10 kilometers in depth, the troops of 1.5 million people on both sides fought fiercely! On the first day of the campaign, the Germans fired 2 million shells! On 1 July, British and French troops launched an offensive against the German 2nd Army stationed in the Somme area. A total of 153 divisions, about 10,000 artillery pieces, and 1,000 aircraft were put into operation. ”
"For the first time, the British used tanks, new weapons, and the Germans put up stubborn resistance on three defensive positions consisting of trenches and support points! The Anglo-French army advanced only 5~12 kilometers at the cost of 615,000 casualties! ”
"The Germans lost 650,000 men and 240 square kilometers of positions, but broke the plan of the Anglo-French forces! This battle was the largest and longest battle of the First World War, and the war of attrition became the main form of warfare. Wang Chen made a long story short and finished in one breath.
"Battle of Midway." Yuan Mingqing continued to ask.
This battle is called the clarion call of the aircraft carrier era, and the sea formations of both sides carried out a surprise attack with carrier-based aircraft outside the range of artillery fire, and Dongying lost 4 aircraft carriers and 285 aircraft! The "Artillery Doctrine" of giant ships with battleships as the main force became history. ”
"After the U.S. air raid on Tokyo on April 18, 1942, Toei was determined to seize Midway Island and lure and annihilate the U.S. Pacific Fleet to ensure the security of the homeland! In this campaign, Dongying mobilized more than 200 ships, including 8 aircraft carriers (more than 400 carrier-based aircraft), commanded by Admiral Yamamoto 56, to launch an attack on Midway Island in two formations, south and north! ”
"Because the U.S. military deciphered the code and telegram of the Dongying Army and grasped the Japanese offensive intentions, Admiral Nimitz, commander-in-chief of the U.S. Pacific Theater, commanded the task force near Midway Island and waited in concealment!"??
On June 31, Vice Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi led a team into the waters northwest of Midway and sent 108 planes to bomb Midway. U.S. shore-based planes took to the air to meet the battle. Nagumo ordered the second wave of aircraft modified bombs, which had been loaded with torpedoes and prepared to attack the US ships, to attack Midway. At this time, the Task Force approached. Nagumo hurriedly ordered the 2nd wave of aircraft to unload the bomb and rehang the torpedo. ”
"At this time, the US carrier-based torpedo planes and dive bombers continued to attack Nagumo's aircraft carrier, and the Toei fighters failed to meet the battle, and the bombs and torpedo planes that were placed on the deck before they could be stored exploded one after another, and Toei lost 4 aircraft carriers and 285 aircraft!"
The Battle of Midway changed the balance of strength between the East and the United States aircraft carriers in the Pacific region, and the naval combat formations of the two sides carried out surprise attacks with air forces outside the range of artillery fire, declaring that the "artillery doctrine" of giant ships with battleships as the main force had become history, and air-sea integrated warfare began to dominate the maritime battlefield. Wang Chen said in one breath.
"Battle of Stalingrad!" Yuan Mingqing looked at Wang Chen and said softly.
"The thrilling Armageddon, street by street, house by house, 1.5 million German troops were annihilated! After the defeat of the Battle of Moscow, the German army attempted to capture Stalingrad and cut off the strategic supply lines of the Soviet army......" Wang Chen still finished in one breath.
"Battle of Huaihai." The Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties asked about a classic battle in China.
"The Battle of Huaihai is an extremely rare example in the history of warfare! The 600,000-strong Chinese People's Liberation Army successfully encircled and annihilated the 800,000-strong GUO army, which was written into the military textbooks of many countries......" Wang Chen replied.
Next, Yuan, Ming and Qing asked many questions about many small battles, and Wang Chen answered all of them in 1510.
Nearly forty minutes later, the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties had already asked twenty questions, and these questions were different battles in seven books, including classic battles and lesser-known minor battles.
"That's not right......" Yuan Mingqing touched his head, he couldn't figure it out, Wang Chen had read the book for a day and a half, and he had read it at a glance and ten lines, how could he remember it so clearly? Could it be that he was so lucky? He asked questions all the things he had read?
"Chief, there's nothing wrong, the old chief may not have told you, and I haven't had time to tell you, I won't forget it!" Wang Chen got up, gave a military salute to Yuan Mingqing, and shouted loudly.
"......" Yuan Mingqing was stunned when he heard this, his lazy eyes became serious, and he got up and said, "Really? ”
"If the chief has time, why don't I memorize the seven books to the chief?" Wang Chen asked.
"Forget it, I believe it, I don't have that time to waste." Yuan Mingqing pondered for a while and said.
