Although he was a little uneasy, Su Xin had no choice but to salute and say, "Hello classmates." ”

"Hello mentor."

"You have turned to page 32 of the book, and today I will explain the most famous Normandy landing in World War II and the decision-making impact of 'Kausak' in the battle." Su Xin glanced at the male squad leader and said, "Gao Yang, let's first briefly introduce the Normandy Battle and the origin of 'Kausak'." ”

"The Normandy landings, the operation codenamed 'Overlord'. It took place in June 1944, during the Second World Outbreak. The Allied forces led by Britain and the United States launched a landing plan in Normandy, northwest France, and successfully opened up the second battlefield in Europe. Gao Yang pushed his glasses and continued: "As for the existence of 'Kausak', I personally believe that it is the way in which the interests of the Allied countries are bound, and the military references are not clear about it. ”

"Sit down." Su Xin said: "What you just said is quite standard, let me add a few words." ”

"The reason why the war situation that occurred during the Normandy landings in World War II was full of complexity and danger was that this landing was a strategic landing on the mainland. When there was no port at the landing site, the Allies created an artificial port, and this mode of warfare that broke through the limitations of thinking was already a kind of progress in human military history when it was proposed. ”

At this time, Gao Yang raised his hand and asked, "Then mentor, why did the Allies have to choose Normandy as the landing target at that time, instead of Brunei?" ”

Su Xin shook his head and said: "It is not the Allies who chose Normandy, but Normandy who chose 'Kausak'......"

(During World War II, according to the experience and experience of previous landing operations, the landing site must meet the following three conditions: first, it must be within the radius of the fighter taking off from a British airfield, second, the crossing distance should be as short as possible, and third, there must be a large port nearby.) Therefore, three areas are more suitable: the Contantine Peninsula, Calais and Normandy.

However, the narrow terrain of the Kantantine Peninsula was not suitable for the deployment of large forces, and it was the first to be vetoed.

Calais and Normandy have their pros and cons, with Calais having the advantage of being the closest to the UK, only 33km, and being close to mainland Germany; The disadvantage is that the German army has the strongest defense force here, and the defenders are elite troops, the fortifications are complete and strong, and there is no large port nearby, and there is also a lack of inland communication lines, which is not conducive to the development of depth after the landing.

Although Normandy is far away from Britain, it has the advantage that the German defense is weak, the terrain is open, and 30 divisions can be deployed at the same time, and the third is that it is only 80km away from Cherbourg, the largest port in northern France. After several trade-offs and comparisons, "Kausak" chose Normandy and began to formulate a specific plan on June 26, 1943, with "Overlord" as the code name of the battle plan and "Sea King" as the code name of the relevant naval operation.

The biggest problem in the whole plan was the port problem, that is, how to solve the logistical supply of the troops before the occupation of Cherbourg, knowing that Normandy was mostly windy and rough in May and June, and it was impossible to guarantee logistical supplies by landing on the beachhead alone - this seemed to be an insurmountable difficulty.

Helpless, Rear Admiral Hallette, the representative of the "Kausak" navy, remembered Mountbatten's joke at a meeting: since there is no natural port, build an artificial port. Therefore, it was suggested that the manufacturing of accessories should be assembled into an artificial port to solve the problem. There was no other solution, and his idea was approved.

On 15 July, Lieutenant General Morgan submitted the outline of the "Overlord" program to the British-American Joint Chiefs of Staff. ）

After finishing the excerpt notes in the textbook, Su Xin said with a smile: "It is recommended that you also do more pre-class preparation before class, which will help you." ”

"Haha, Tutor Su is still reading notes!" Many of the students below began to coax, but after Li Heng's coughing, it quickly disappeared.

A forty-five-minute class was very fast, Li Heng pinched the watch and left a few minutes before the end of the class, and when Su Xin was about to continue the lecture, he found that the eyes of some students in the class were wrong......

"What's wrong? They all stared straight at me. Su Xin put down the book, anyway, the content of the lecture is almost the same, and leaving some time to interact with the students can promote the relationship between teachers and students.

At this time, Gao Yang took a stack of letters, walked over and handed them to Su Xindao: "Tutor Su, this is the letter that the seventy-fourth, seventy-third, and seventy-second seniors asked us to pass on to you. ”

Well, Su Xin took the letter and put it into the page, and said, "I accepted it, you can reply to the seniors who wrote the letters, and say that I will read these letters." ”

Gao Yang replied and returned to his seat.

"Suzu...... After the bell ...... ceremony, Su Xin returned to the teaching room.

In the 60-square-meter room, four teachers in the same class were arranged to work, and Su Xin was also fortunate to learn about the teaching room of the "first class" for the first time. In addition to Su Xin's main teacher, there is also an assistant teacher who teaches five commonly used foreign languages, an assistant teacher who teaches ancient and modern Chinese history, Socratic philosophy, and Confucius, and a main teacher who teaches physics, chemistry, and mechanical dynamics. Hehe, as for Su Xin, he is responsible for teaching classical military explanations, emergency medical treatment, and self-rescue in the wild.

"Three days later, the school's 'school exam' will be, and everyone has been remembering to read more professional books recently." It was Tutor Yang Hong, who taught the knowledge of the main course, who spoke, and looked at Su Xin who was sitting on the side, intentionally or unintentionally. Su Xin smiled back......

Yang Hong is a professional tutor with very old teaching qualifications, and he leads a lot of classes and naturally reads countless people, but Su Xin is an outlier that he has not seen through for several years.

The 75th class of freshmen opened, and Su Xin entered the Tianfu Military Academy as a guaranteed student, and the results of the opening evaluation examination were assigned to the eighth class of the tactical department according to the middle and lower levels. At that time, Su Xin was obscure like a passerby, and Yang Hong was the tutor of the second class of freshmen at that time, and he didn't know much about it.

If you want to say that the deepest impression may be that every time you meet Su Xin, you can see him holding a book in his hand, sometimes a foreign language book, sometimes a war documentary, sometimes a daily newspaper. After talking with other tutors, I learned that Su Xin passed the interview of the college librarian and officially became a trainee librarian, and soon after he successfully became a regular manager.

Yang Hong didn't think that Su Xin had anything special, but he just felt that it was quite naïve for this student to want to enrich his knowledge, after all, it would be naïve to really think that the teaching method of Tianfu Military Academy was the same as that of other higher professional schools, and it would be naïve to improve learning only by rote memorization of written knowledge.

However, Su Xinxue's "sword edge", which had been hidden for half a year, was finally revealed in that competition......
