514 The Strong Ye Qingshan
"Commander, is it true?"
Luo Zhuoying looked at Ye Qingshan with a shocked look and asked.
“Didn’t you hear?
The mobile regiment I sent out has just captured Taunggyi and Loikaw.
If nothing goes wrong, we will reach Toungoo tomorrow.
The devils have no main force in the rear, and with the strength of my elite mobile regiment, it is inevitable that we can capture Toungoo."
Ye Qingshan was also very excited at this moment.
"This……"
After hearing Ye Qingshan's answer, no one questioned the news anymore.
Ye Qingshan would not be so stupid as to falsify such information.
"How could such a long-distance detour be successful so easily?
When did the Japs become so slow?
Also, I remember that it was hundreds of kilometers from Taunggyi to Loikaw.
Ye Qingshan's mobile regiment captured Dongzhi in the morning and reached Leigu in the afternoon.
At this marching speed, they could cover hundreds of kilometers in a few hours.
Unless it's an armored unit, it's impossible to do that."
At this time, Du Yuming sat next to Luo Zhuoying, his heart full of surprise and doubt.
In fact, the conditions for success in this kind of long-distance interspersed and detour are very harsh.
Before this news came back.
Du Yuming also felt that Ye Qingshan’s crazy plan for this battle would have a success rate of no more than 30%.
But now, before the meeting was even over, he had been slapped in the face.
He raised his head and looked at Gan Lichu and Zhang Zhen opposite him. They both had the same look in their eyes.
"It seems that Commander Gan and Commander Zhang think similarly to me.
However, it is not surprising that there are armored units in Ye Qingshan’s 86th Army.
In the past two years, Ye Qingshan and the Americans have had such a hot relationship.
There will definitely be no problem purchasing a batch of tanks and armored vehicles from the Americans."
"As expected of Ye Qingshan, he is so good at interweaving.
No wonder the old man was willing to take the risk and agree to the deal with him.
Perhaps, after this battle, Ye Qingshan can really help solve the country's energy problem.
If that's the case, I will definitely cooperate with you in this battle."
The five people in the conference room had different thoughts at this time.
But there is no doubt that everyone understands that this is good news for their expeditionary force.
Ye Qingshan walked to the center, looked at everyone, and said excitedly: "From this moment on, the situation on the battlefield will be completely reversed.
Starting from today, our expeditionary force will end the strategic stalemate with the Japanese 15th Army around Mandalay.
Officially entering the stage of a major counterattack."
Luo Zhuoying looked at Ye Qingshan, who was so confident and enthusiastic at this moment, and couldn't help but sigh.
He is indeed a domestic legend.
Thinking about the counterattack combat tasks that Ye Qingshan had just given to their armies.
It turned out that Ye Qingshan firmly believed from the beginning that his infiltration troops could complete the task.
The plans for a counterattack against the Japanese had already been made, and all we had to do was wait for the good news from the infiltrated troops.
"Commander, rest assured. Our Fifth Army promises to go all out in this battle and will never be passive or lazy.
Devour the Japanese 15th Army."
At this time, Du Yuming also stood up and expressed his position.
Before coming, he had already received instructions from the old man, asking him to fully cooperate with Ye Qingshan in this battle.
At this time, he was also infected by Ye Qingshan's confidence and passion.
We are all generals, and we all have ideals.
Neither Luo Zhuoying nor Du Yuming and others are mediocre.
Kou can go, so can I!
Completely annihilating the Japanese 15th Army has now become the goal of all of them.
“It’s fucking crazy.”
Zhang Zhen muttered softly.
But he stood up like Gan Lichu next to him and expressed his position to Ye Qingshan: "Commander, rest assured, our Sixth Army (66th Army) will definitely go all out and will never slack off in the battle."
"OK.
Generals, today our expeditionary force will unite as one and defeat that damn Japanese 15th Army.
Let the world know the prestige of our expeditionary force."
After the meeting, the five people returned to their respective residences.

The next day, Stilwell convened a meeting with Ye Qingshan, Luo Zhuoying and five others, hoping to re-establish his command over the Expeditionary Force through this meeting.
"You are Ye Qingshan? So young?"
When Stilwell saw Ye Qingshan, he was also shocked.
To be honest, Ye Qingshan's expression in front of him surprised him.
"Hello, General Stilwell."
Ye Qingshan also saluted Stilwell.
In any case, Stilwell was also the commander of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia at that time, and was indeed Ye Qingshan's superior.
Moreover, compared to those British guys who stabbed him in the back, Stilwell treated the Expeditionary Force well.
At least, Stilwell would actually provide the supplies he promised to provide.
Instead of being like the British, who always made promises to the expeditionary force.
When they were really asked to provide equipment, they deliberately dragged their feet.
"Why did your headquarters suddenly appoint you as the commander of the expeditionary force?
At your age, you should gain experience at the grassroots level.
Now you have to command an army of hundreds of thousands, how reckless. "
Stilwell returned the salute and frowned.
He felt that the decision made by the Nationalist Army Command was too hasty.
They thought Ye Qingshan was too young to take on this important task.
“General Stilwell, you are known as an expert on China, but haven’t you ever heard of the great champion Huo Qubing?
There are so many great people in China.
I have achieved success at my age, which, to be honest, can be considered a late bloomer.
Fighting a war depends on your ability and your achievements.
It's not about taking advantage of one's seniority.
Otherwise, you should have defeated the Japanese 15th Army earlier.
Instead of fleeing to Imphal."
Seeing that Stilwell expressed his dissatisfaction with his position as commander of the expeditionary force so directly, Ye Qingshan was delighted.
He immediately stopped indulging him and spoke sarcastically.
"you……"
Stilwell was also stimulated by Ye Qingshan's words.
“Haha, General Stilwell, Commander Ye.
We are in a meeting, let’s get down to business.”
Seeing that the tension between Ye Qingshan and Stilwell was growing stronger, Luo Zhuoying quickly stepped forward to ease the atmosphere.
Du Yuming and others nearby were also stunned.
They didn't expect that Ye Qingshan would dare to be so presumptuous in front of Stilwell.
Directly confront Stilwell.
"Our Commander Ye is really... strong enough."
Du Yuming shook his head slightly.
Ever since they first met Ye Qingshan last night, they could feel a strong sense of confidence and strength from Ye Qingshan.
Originally, Ye Qingshan was only so strong when facing his subordinates.
Unexpectedly, the same thing happened when I met the Allied commander Stilwell at this time.
"Humph!"
When Stilwell saw Luo Zhuoying come forward to smooth things over, he sat down immediately.
Ye Qingshan also took a seat immediately.
"The meeting begins, Commander Ye.
I want to ask you about the orders I gave to your 86th Army before.
I will ask you to lead your troops north and join the Fifth Army.
Why are you the only one who came? Why is the main force of your 86th Army still staying in the Aniskan area to fight the Japanese?
Didn’t I tell you that it’s impossible for you to enter Mandalay from the eastern front in the Aniskan area? "
Stilwell looked at Ye Qingshan and questioned again.
In fact, Stilwell was so hostile when he first met Ye Qingshan.
It's not just his age.
Ye Qingshan's disobedience was the main reason that made Stilwell angry.
