Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

Chapter 580: Mutual Gift of Military Letters

580 Mutual Gift of Military Books

Thomas remained silent when he saw Ye Qingshan burn the letter.

Then he continued, “General, there is one more thing.

General Guderian knows that in the previous battle you led in Burma, you boldly used the armored group's tactics of penetrating behind enemy lines.

General Guderian was very interested in your use of armored groups and greatly appreciated it.

I hope to have the opportunity to exchange ideas with you on armored warfare."

Thomas' words surprised Ye Qingshan again.

Who is Guderian? He is the real "armored master" during World War II, the founder of blitzkrieg, and one of the most famous generals in World War II.

Ye Qingshan did not expect that Guderian actually knew about his use of armored clusters to infiltrate behind enemy lines in Myanmar.

But then, Ye Qingshan understood.

Most likely it was Thomas who reported it.

Otherwise, given Guderian's identity and the fact that he was leading troops fighting in France at this time.

It is impossible to pay attention to the war in Myanmar.

"Thomas, it was you who reported it."

"Yes, General.

I think you, like General Guderian, are both excellent commanders.

Especially in terms of armored warfare, you are the second general I have seen, besides General Guderian, who is unique in the use of armored clusters.

I think you and General Guderian must have something in common.

Therefore, I reported to General Guderian your example of using armored group combat in Myanmar.

Just as I thought, General Guderian highly appreciated your use of armored group tactics.

I also asked someone to send you a book.

It was written by our General Guderian himself, and it is about the military theory of armored group warfare.

As he spoke, Thomas took out a black book from his briefcase and handed it to Ye Qingshan.

Ye Qingshan opened it and saw Guderian's signature on the title page.

The book contains Guderian's explanation of his understanding of armored group warfare and some new tactics he proposed, such as blitzkrieg.

Ye Qingshan was overjoyed.

Ye Qingshan has always admired General Guderian.

The other party is definitely a military genius.

Unexpectedly, in this time and space, the other party actually knew him.

Ye Qingshan suddenly felt a sense of mutual understanding.

He walked to his desk, picked up a book from the bookshelf, came back to Thomas and handed it to him.

"This book was also written by me, and it contains my understanding of armored cluster warfare.

Currently, it is only circulated within our army and cannot be seen by outsiders.

You sent someone to give it to General Guderian, which is also a gift in return for the book I received from him."

At this moment, Ye Qingshan felt not only a sense of mutual admiration, but also a desire to win the Huashan Sword Contest.

He wanted Guderian to take a look at the military theory he wrote.

Ye Qingshan has actually written several military works based on his own memory.

For example, this book is about the theory of using armored clusters.

There is also a book on special operations and a theoretical book on large-scale troop operations.

All of them were written by Ye Qingshan based on his own memory and understanding.

There are even many new combat theories that will not appear until the next few decades.

Ye Qingshan also knew the power of his military books.

So even though he wrote it, he never published it.

He only printed a batch of them secretly and gave them to his trusted subordinates to read in order to improve their command capabilities.

This was the first time that Ye Qingshan gave his own book to someone.

Thomas took the book handed over by Ye Qingshan, put it in his briefcase, and assured: "General, rest assured, I will definitely deliver the book to General Guderian."

"Ah."

Ye Qingshan nodded slightly.

"Then General, I will be leaving first.

We will meet again in the future.”

Thomas realized that he had said everything he needed to say and prepared to leave.

Ning Yongchen took him away.

"Wait a moment."

As a result, when Thomas walked to the door, Ye Qingshan suddenly called him.

"General, do you have any other instructions?"

Thomas turned around.

“I heard that your operations in France were going very smoothly.

At present, the Allied First Army, hundreds of thousands of people, have been besieged near Dunkirk?"

Ye Qingshan suddenly brought up this matter.

Thomas' pupils shrank, and then he smiled and said, "The general is also well-informed.

You are right.

Our army is making great progress in France, and it is only a matter of time before we annihilate the British and French forces.

The Allied First Army had indeed been surrounded by our army near Dunkirk.

The vanguard was none other than the armored group commanded by General Guderian.

"In that case, I will give General Guderian another gift."

Then, Ye Qingshan walked up to Thomas and whispered a few words.

Thomas's face suddenly changed.

"Thank you, General. I will report this matter immediately.

The Empire will remember the General's kindness."

"Why.

What are you talking about? You are a British businessman.

What I just told you is the business cooperation between our allies."

Ye Qingshan reminded.

Thomas also reacted quickly and nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, I am British, we are allies,

What the general just said is indeed business cooperation."

"Okay, let's go."

Thomas bowed again, put on his hat, and quickly left the Ye Mansion.

Ning Yongchen came back shortly after seeing Thomas off.

With a cold face, he reported to Ye Qingshan: "Commander, just now outside the mansion, spies from at least three parties saw Thomas coming.

Among them are members of the Military Control Commission, the Japanese, and the British."

“Get rid of them all immediately.

I don’t want anyone to know that Thomas came here today.”

Ye Qingshan sat back at his desk and gave orders without even raising his head.

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

After Ning Yongchen left, Ye Qingshan raised his head and whispered to himself: "I have cheated the British again.

Given the strength of the British, they should be able to withstand the loss of another 200,000 or 300,000 people."

“Well, it shouldn’t be a big problem.

The British have plundered wealth in their overseas colonies for so many years.

After all, it was once the world hegemon, and its strength and foundation are still very strong.

A few pitfalls shouldn’t be a big deal.”

Half a day later, two car accidents and several gunshots occurred in Wenzhou city.

After Thomas left Ye Mansion, he immediately rushed to their temporary intelligence point in the city.

Use the radio over there to send the important information Thomas just obtained back to their leader Himm.

Another day passed, and Ye Qingshan returned to the headquarters of the 42nd Army Group.

Generals Xiao Shanling, Zhou Xinghai and others received the news in advance and were waiting for Ye Qingshan's arrival at the headquarters.

"commander!"

When the generals saw Ye Qingshan, they saluted in unison.

"Well, let's have a meeting."

Ye Qingshan nodded and was the first to walk into the meeting room.
