Dabeizhuang was turned into a charred ruin, and tons of ammunition and supplies stored by the Japanese were reduced to ashes, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese.
When the Japanese commander Shouichi Watanabe came to the scene and saw the tragic scene, his face was filled with gloom.
Professionals from the Japanese Special High School who were responsible for investigating the cause of the explosion soon discovered some clues left by Guo Bing and others before the explosion, and finally characterized the explosion as an attack by Chinese guerrillas.
"Chinese people! They are all dead!"
Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi gritted his teeth with hatred, wishing he could lead his troops to sweep away all the guerrillas in this area right now.
However, the troops went ahead without moving the grain and grass. Now nearly half of the grain, grass and ammunition were blown into ashes. The ammunition and materials stored in Gaoyou could no longer support them in launching a campaign-level military operation.
Although he was filled with hatred, the Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi could only endure it and sent a message to the Central China Headquarters in Nanjing to request another allocation of supplies and ammunition.
The Japanese were originally a small country, and the continuous war had exhausted all the ammunition and supplies they had stored at the beginning of the war. Now all the troops were asking for food and ammunition.
The Watanabe detachment now allowed the guerrillas to take advantage of the loophole, and it wasted so much money. The Japanese commander in central China, Shunroku Hata, was so angry that he cursed.
Soon a stern telegram was placed on the desk of the detachment leader Juichi Watanabe, saying that supplies and ammunition can be allocated. If something like this happens again, then you must apologize!
Commander Shunroku Hata would have even removed him directly if he hadn't seen that his replacement would affect the morale of the army because the Japs detachment leader Shouichi Watanabe had just been transferred to the detachment leader.
The former detachment leader had learned from the past when he broke his belly to apologize. Detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi knew that it was definitely not a joke to break his belly to apologize, so he hated the guerrillas who made sneak attacks even more.
The Japs' advance base at Dabeizhuang gave Guo Bing and the others who had penetrated the blockade a huge blow. Not only did they lose a large amount of supplies and ammunition, the detachment leader Watanabe Juichi was also scolded.
It was unbearable, and the angry detachment leader Touichi Watanabe attacked his own people first. The puppet army battalion commander stationed in a nearby village who was unable to rescue was directly killed. The puppet army stationed in several gun towers on the blockade also became a warning to the monkeys.
example.
Killing his own people was not enough. Liu Heitan, the traitor captain who failed to infiltrate, was sent out again. At the same time, there were more than ten Japanese infiltration troops to launch a large-scale revenge in the guerrilla zone.
Now that ammunition and supplies have been bombed, large-scale retaliation is no longer possible, so let's start with small-scale retaliation.
However, after the tragic experience last time, the defense of the North Jiangsu Corps this time was watertight. Several Japanese infiltration troops were inexplicably caught in an ambush as soon as they arrived in the guerrilla-controlled area, and the whole group was completely destroyed.
Since the Japanese are launching a large-scale retaliatory infiltration, the Northern Jiangsu Corps, which has been training for so long, will naturally not blindly defend.
"Each unit in the forward position selects elite small units to carry out counter-infiltration and counter-attack operations!"
Soon, the orders from the Commander-in-Chief of Northern Jiangsu were sent to the forward positions. The brothers were already itching, and soon elite combat teams were selected.
Although Li Baoshan and others who blew up the Japanese arsenal were imprisoned and punished for their unauthorized actions, the Northern Jiangsu Corps had clear rewards and punishments. When they were punished, they also received a large bonus.
Moreover, they had experience in infiltration, so the confinement was temporarily postponed. They returned to the front line and taught the guerrilla groups about to infiltrate their experience in infiltration. Instead, they became heroes respected by everyone.
The Japanese's infiltration troops harassed everywhere, and encountered severe attacks from the guerrilla forces, who were not polite when coming and going. Guerrilla groups also infiltrated and attacked one after another, attacking the Japanese's transportation lines and gun towers.
In just a few days, more than 50 small-scale battles occurred along the border between the areas controlled by both sides.
Although the two sides did not engage in large-scale battles, these small-scale conflicts and battles were more cruel. Once the infiltration troops of both sides encountered an encounter, it would be life and death, and the other party would have to be slaughtered.
The battlefield that had stopped since the winter offensive became noisy again. Every day, countless guerrilla groups were ready to launch infiltration attacks against the Japanese.
Sometimes the brothers returned home loaded with goods, not only confiscating guns and ammunition, but also some Japanese cans, intelligence and other items.
But sometimes the brothers who went out seemed to disappear and never came back. Then they were discovered by the brothers in the wilderness and had already been killed by the Japanese.
The Japanese did not bury the brothers they shot dead, but left them in the wilderness to be eaten and bitten by coyotes, wild dogs, etc., in order to deter the guerrilla forces.
The guerrilla forces also responded in kind. Often near the enemy's camp, the enemy's patrol would find some heads hanging on the barbed wire.
"If the little Japanese kills one of our common people and one of our brothers, we will kill one of their puppet soldiers and one of their Japanese soldiers!"
"If the devils dare to infiltrate and attack our village, we will dare to counter-infiltrate and take down their gun towers! If the devils dare to bomb us with planes, we will dare to blow them up with explosives. Let's see who can hold on!"
Yang Ling's purpose is very clear, which is to fight tooth for tooth and kill to stop killing. If the Japanese kill each of us, we will kill them back until they are scared and bow their heads and admit defeat!
No large-scale battles broke out between the two sides, but small-scale battles were everywhere, and the wilderness near the forward positions had become dangerous.
The vehicles transported by the Japanese were often blown into pieces by landmines planted on the roads. There were also villages in the guerrilla zones that were massacred by the Japanese.
As time goes by, the battle between the two sides has become more intense, and it has spread and expanded in various regions, not just on land.
The Gaoyou Lake Water Patrol under the Subei Corps took advantage of the opportunity to go south twice and ambushed the Japanese transport fleet, killing and injuring more than a hundred Japanese escorts, and seized more than 20 ships of grain.
The revenge launched by Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Juichi not only failed to achieve the expected results, but also encountered unprecedented setbacks, and the attacking troops suffered heavy losses.
Now even Gaoyou City, where the Japanese detachment headquarters is located, is not safe, because two nights ago, someone actually bombarded the city with mortars, which kept the Japanese awake all night, thinking that the Chinese *** team was launching a massive counterattack.
Such infiltration and counter-infiltration operations by both sides continued until the beginning of March. The small-scale infiltration and counter-infiltration operations caused great losses to both sides, and no one gained any advantage, so they all ceased to exist.
Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi still wanted to fight, but the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters in Nanjing gave him an order, which was to maintain strong military pressure on the Northern Jiangsu Corps and then suspend the attack because the Wang Puppet Government was established in Nanjing.
The newly established Wang Puppet Government sent multiple channels of inducement personnel to the Northern Jiangsu Corps, the Sulu Corps, the 89th Army Headquarters, the Tax Police Force, etc. to begin the inducement process under military pressure.
These surrender representatives were not lobbying on behalf of the Japanese, but on behalf of the Wang Jingwei pseudo-government in Nanjing that was about to be established.
In order to recruit the Chinese troops who persisted in fighting in these occupied areas, Wang Jingwei's puppet government also spent a lot of money. Titles such as group army commander and general could be given to them as long as they were willing to surrender to the Nanjing puppet government.
