Usa Mirō continued: "Your Highness, although the blitzkrieg has not been confirmed by actual combat, Hu Yi was fortunate to observe a confrontation organized by the German Army on the spot. In this confrontation, a general named Guderian of the German Army successfully used this blitzkrieg."

"Is that?" said Higakurimiya Nianhiko, "How is the effect?"

"Hayi!" Usa Mirō paused and said, "The armored cluster commanded by General Guderian broke through the front line of the Red Army's heavy troops in less than half an hour! And the Red Army originally expected that the front line could withstand the fierce attack of the main force of the Blue Army at least three months!"

"Nani?" Higakuramiya Nohiko growled in disbelief, "I was originally expected to be able to defend the March defense line, but I was broken in less than half an hour?"

"Hayi!" Usa Mirō paused again, "The large-scale centralized use of tanks has strong penetration capabilities! Moreover, such blitzkrieg is very difficult to defend, because tanks have strong maneuverability and can launch a sudden attack from any point on the vast front of the defense, making the defense unpredictable!"

"Baga!" said Higakuremiya Nianhiko, "Doesn't this mean that blitzkriegs cannot be defended at all?"

"Theory is true." Usa Mitsuru nodded slightly and said, "But in fact, there is still a way to counter it. The most effective countering method is to use tanks to tanks!"

"My tank is against tanks?" Higashijiu Nihiko's eyes lit up immediately and he said happily, "Yoxi, this is a very good method. Speaking of tanks, even if the Chinese army has tanks assisted by the Soviets, the number of them will not be large. So if the Imperial Army simply competes in tank tactics, how could the Imperial Army be afraid of the Chinese army?"

After pausing, Higakure-Miya Nihiko said again: "More importantly, since this tank blitzkrieg is so powerful, why can't the Imperial Army follow suit? The Imperial Army can completely apply this tactic to the Chinese battlefield. In this way, will the Japanese-Chinese War and even the Greater East Asia Holy War end soon?"

Hearing this, the Japanese officers present suddenly looked excited.

...

At this time, in the Guishan Fortress War Room.

Stilwell is performing deductions on the sand table.

Since the battle last night ended, Stilwell immediately returned to the war room of Guishan Fortress and began to review the battle last night while simulating the sand table.

It is obvious that the tank tactics used by Zhong Yi in his offense last night have aroused his strong interest.

In fact, Stilwell was indeed very interested in Zhong Yi's tank tactics, because before today, he had never thought that tanks could be used in this way!

Since the tank was launched in the World War, it has been nearly thirty years since it was launched. All major military powers in the world have paid great attention to the development and application of tanks.

But so far, almost all tanks have been used as auxiliary weapons for infantry, and their only function is to guide and cover infantry! This means that the tank unit is not an independent group of troops. Like artillery, engineers, and baggage troops, they are auxiliary infantry to fight!

However, in the battle last night, Zhong Yi set a precedent for independent use of tanks!

Because the tank battalion, which was first involved in the attack, did not take on the task of guiding and covering infantry as usual, their only combat mission was to quickly assault forward and tear open the Japanese defense!

Judging from the actual combat effect, this tactic is actually very effective!

This aroused Stilwell's great interest, and he began to deduce it on the sand table as soon as he came back!

After half a night and the whole day of deduction, Stilwell finally gained something!

Now Stilwell found Zhong Yi and said, "Zhong, the tank tactics you pioneered are so powerful! I believe that this tactic will definitely revolutionize the methods and methods of land war! With this honor, your name will definitely be included in the history of world military development. You are really amazing!"

Zhong Yi couldn't help feeling ashamed when he heard this. To be honest, blitzkrieg is really not his first creation!

However, it was a bit beyond his expectations that Stilwell could think of the secret so quickly, and it can be seen that this American is still somewhat capable!

Stilwell continued: "Zhong, given that the tank tactics you used last night are too powerful, you still need to do as confidential as possible to avoid this tactic being known to the Japanese army!"

Zhong Yi felt a sudden heart when he heard this, and Stilwell wanted to go with him.

Sun Liren thought that Zhong Yi ordered the secret of the tank battalion to be kept for a future counterattack, but it was not entirely true. Zhong Yi ordered the secret of the tank battalion to be kept, mainly because he was worried that it would allow the Japanese army to understand the secret of the blitzkrieg. Once the Japanese army discovered the power of the blitzkrieg, then China would be in big trouble!

Not only China, but even the Soviet Union may face threats!

Because Japan's industrial strength is more than China's, it can produce large quantities of tanks in a short period of time. In this way, the Japanese have the opportunity to carry out blitzkrieg on the Asian battlefield!

In contrast, China's flat terrain has fallen, and most of the remaining Kuomintang-controlled areas are mountains and hills. The conditions for the Japanese army to use blitzkrieg are insufficient, but the Soviet Far East and Mongolia are very suitable for blitzkrieg. Therefore, if the Japanese army mastered the essence of blitzkrieg, the threat to the Soviet Union was greater!

Zhong Yi nodded and said, "I have issued a ban order!"

"The closure order?" Stilwell said, "I'm afraid it's useless. The infiltration of Japanese spies into your country can be said to be omnipresent. This secret is probably difficult to keep."

Zhong Yi shook his head: "Actually, even if we can keep the secret, the Japanese may not be able to guess. After all, the Japanese are not all fools, and they still have the ability."

...

Usa Mitsuka and Yamamoto Shigeo looked at each other and whispered: "But your Highness, no officer has ever systematically learned the theory of blitzkrieg? So if you really want to use it in actual combat, it's probably not easy."

Yamamoto Shigeo also said: "Yes, if you have not mastered the complete theory, you will rashly apply such a newly emerging tactic to actual combat, and the effect will probably be counterproductive."

"It doesn't matter if you haven't learned it, so let's hurry up and learn it!" said Higakuramiya Nianhiko, "Usa Mikun, you will set out to Berlin today to systematically learn this military theory of tank blitz from the Germans, and strive to learn and return home as soon as possible to apply this tactic to the Sino-Japanese War!"

"Hayi!"
Chapter completed!
