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

Chapter 513 Deployment of Counterattack Operation

513 Deployment of counterattack

Soon, Ye Qingshan explained his subsequent battle plan.

Luo Zhuoying was very calm because he already knew it.

However, Du Yuming, Gan Lichu and Zhang Zhen were not calm.

"Commander, is your plan too risky?"

Gan Lichu looked at Ye Qingshan, swallowed, and said.

This is Ye Qingshan, who led his troops to rescue their Sixth Army not long ago.

Otherwise, Gan Lichu would not have said it so tactfully.

"Our expeditionary force currently has only about 100,000 soldiers capable of fighting.

The four divisions of the Japanese 15th Army have suffered losses during the fighting during this period.

There should be at least 100,000 troops capable of fighting.

Commander Ye, you want to swallow up the Japanese 15th Army in one go, isn't that too unrealistic? "

Compared with Gan Lichu's euphemistic statement, Zhang Zhen, the commander of the 66th Army next to him, was much more direct.

"Commander Zhang, when has victory or defeat in a war ever been determined solely by the number of troops?"

Ye Qingshan responded with a smile.

“Yes, I admit that your plan is very imaginative.

If you send troops to the south to infiltrate, you can really reach Toungoo.

Cut off the enemy's retreat.

The situation on the battlefield can be reversed immediately, so maybe we can give it a try then.

However, I don't think that the troops you sent to infiltrate can do this.

From Lashio to Taungoo, it’s more than 400 kilometers, and there are too many changes along the way.”

Zhang Zhen still shook his head and did not agree with Ye Qingshan's plan.

"Don't worry, Commander Zhang, I have confidence in my troops.

Toungoo, I will definitely take it.

This is not something you, the 66th Army, need to worry about.

My task for you is to split the troops from Mengneiwa into two groups and attack the Japanese in Mandalay and the Japanese in Yenangyaung in the south respectively.

You just need to follow orders."

Ye Qingshan's eyes turned cold and he said without comment.

Zhang Zhen said nothing more.

After all, Ye Qingshan, as the new commander of the expeditionary force, has already made the decision.

If he keeps finding fault again and again, he would be completely out of touch with the times.

"Yes, I, the 66th Army, obey orders."

Seeing Zhang Zhen surrender, Ye Qingshan ignored him.

"Deputy Commander Du, the Fifth Army still needs you to go back and take charge.

Later, when we launch a counterattack against the Japanese in the direction of Mandalay, your Fifth Army will be the main force."

Ye Qingshan looked at Du Yuming again and said.

"can."

Du Yuming nodded slightly and didn't say anything else.

Although, Du Yuming also felt that Ye Qingshan’s plan was too crazy.

But before this, Du Yuming had learned in detail about several battles that Ye Qingshan had fought in the country.

Every time, Ye Qingshan took unconventional and risky moves, but he succeeded every time.

The other party seems to be taking risks all the time, but succeeds every time.

This means that outsiders only saw Ye Qingshan carrying out risky combat operations, but failed to see that he had made countless preparations before taking action.

This is the only way to ensure that seemingly crazy combat operations will be successful every time.

Therefore, this time Du Yuming did not refute Ye Qingshan’s plan. He also wanted to see whether Ye Qingshan could lead the expeditionary force to continue to create miracles this time.

"Commander Gan, your Sixth Army suffered heavy losses before.

After you go back, reorganize your entire army into a reinforced division to improve its combat effectiveness.

Once you succeed in encircling the devils, it will be time for you to take revenge."

Ye Qingshan looked at Gan Lichu and said.

“Yes, Commander.

I'll do it when I get back."

Finally, Ye Qingshan looked at Luo Zhuoying and said, "Chief of Staff Luo, has the new batch of supplies sent by General Stilwell arrived?"

“Well, it arrived this morning.

At present, this batch of supplies, enough to equip two armies, is all in Moneva."

"very good."

Ye Qingshan was also very happy to hear Luo Zhuoying say this.

It seems that the previous move of letting Luo Zhuoying confuse Stilwell was a brilliant one.

“The 66th Army will keep half of this batch of supplies.

The remaining half will then be given to the Fifth Army.”

"no problem."

Du Yuming and Zhang Zhen were both very satisfied with Ye Qingshan's arrangement.

After all, Ye Qingshan’s own 86th Army didn’t want any supplies this time, and all of them were distributed between their two armies.

What else could they say.

“However, this is far from enough.

We also need more ammunition and supplies.

Otherwise, it will not be enough to support our full-scale counterattack against the Japanese 15th Army later."

"Then you need to deal with that guy Stilwell.

However, based on my previous conversation with Stilwell.

He told me that this batch of supplies had just been delivered by their fleet.

He had no more supplies.

If you want to get new supplies, you need to wait for the next fleet to arrive.

It will take at least a week.

This may delay your counterattack plans."

Luo Zhuoying reminded Ye Qingshan.

"That's it.

It’s okay. The supplies from the Americans cannot be delivered for the time being.

Aren’t there still the British?

The British have been operating in Imphal for such a long time that they have stockpiled a large amount of supplies.

It is enough to support us in fighting a large-scale battle.

It's time to make the British bleed."

Ye Qingshan sneered.

"How are you going to deal with Stilwell and the British?"

After hearing what Ye Qingshan said, Luo Zhuoying was also very curious about how Ye Qingshan was going to deal with Stilwell next and make the British bleed.

You know, Stilwell was nominally the supreme commander of the expeditionary force at that time.

He wanted Stilwell to be willing and let Ye Qingshan command the expeditionary force at will without interfering.

That's basically unlikely.

“Of course I have a way to do this.

We still need you, Chief of Staff, to cooperate with me, and we will do this later..."

"The method of stimulating generals?

You can give it a try.”

After listening to what Ye Qingshan said, Luo Zhuoying's eyes lit up.

Bang bang bang!

At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly knocked.

Let everyone frown and look over.

There are not many people who dare to knock on the door at this time, and there must be important military intelligence.

"Come in!"

The door opened and it was Xiao Wusheng who knocked on the door.

"Commander, urgent military information."

The young martial artist shouted loudly.

Ye Qingshan's eyes suddenly lit up. He guessed that it was probably Zhao Dongsheng's mobile regiment heading south that had news.

"Say, we are all family here."

Ye Qingshan deliberately asked the young martial artist to tell the news in public.

"Yes!

The military headquarters just received a telegram from the mobile regiment, informing us that the mobile regiment had captured Taunggyi and Loikaw this morning and afternoon.

Now, the armored battalion of the mobile regiment is heading towards Toungoo.

Captain Zhao promised that we would capture Toungoo tomorrow."

Xiao Wusheng's loud voice echoed in the conference room.

Hearing this, Luo Zhuoying, Du Yuming and others were all shocked.

"Haha, good, Zhao Dongsheng did a great job.

I knew this guy could succeed."

Ye Qingshan immediately stood up, laughed, and said happily.
