The explosion of the Japanese ammunition depot almost destroyed the surrounding neighborhoods into ruins. The aftermath of the explosion continued, and the surrounding area became a restricted area within a few hundred meters, and no one dared to approach.
The fire caused by the explosion swept through the night wind and set a large area of houses on fire. In this era, many houses were made of wooden structures. Countless houses were burning in the fire amid the billowing smoke.
, the fire still has a tendency to spread.
Now, except for the Japs who were fighting with the guerrilla officers and soldiers, the rest of the Japs soldiers and service personnel were all disheveled and hurriedly putting out the fire.
They couldn't help but save them. If they waited for the fire to spread and burn down, they would be burned to ashes without waiting for the guerrilla army to attack.
While the Japanese were busy putting out the fire in anger, Yang Ling and others also learned the whole story of what happened. Unexpectedly, it was the audacious Dao Zi and others who did it.
Under the support of his brothers, Daozi and others safely retreated to the northern area of the city covered in black smoke. They were too close to the explosion point and were shaken to the point of confusion and were still unconscious.
"It's true that you, my dear, asked you to control the ammunition depot and prevent it from being blown up by the Japanese who jumped over the wall. You actually got a good blow."
Seeing Dao Zi and others who were covered in smoke like coke, although Staff Officer Lei Xiong was complaining, the expressions on his face showed that they were happy now.
Although the Japs' ammunition depot was blown up so that even if they were defeated, they would not be able to get replenished ammunition, but the Japs were even more anxious now. They had no ammunition. How could they fight with their guerrillas?
Daozi and the others were originally assigned the task of controlling the ammunition depot, but now they blew up the ammunition depot. Yang Ling now doesn't know whether to be happy or cry.
Just retreat, and they also blew up the ammunition depot. The explosion was really lively now, but even if they wiped out the Japanese, the capture would be small.
Their guerrilla army now relies on these weapons and ammunition to replenish their consumption, but now they are gone.
The brothers didn't think as much as Yang Ling thought. They welcomed the knife back like heroes. When everyone went up, they beat their chests and patted their shoulders with uncontrollable smiles on their faces.
Bomb depots are not something that ordinary people can blow up. It requires bold and careful people. Moreover, the enemy's ammunition depots are heavily guarded, so it is generally difficult to succeed.
Seeing Dao Zi and others who were like heroes being surrounded by their brothers asking questions, Yang Ling also sighed. Although blowing up the ammunition depot was not in line with the original intention, at least they had good intentions.
Just blow it up. Now, instead of criticizing Daozi and the others, I have to praise them. After all, there is no credit but hard work for blowing up the Japanese arsenal.
If we criticize Daozi and others now in the public interest, it will constrain the brothers' actions in the future when they lose contact with the commander, and it will not be conducive to the brothers' subjective initiative.
Moreover, Daozi and the others were still on the way, and they easily killed the Japanese ambush troops.
"Sir!"
Daozi and others were soon surrounded by everyone, like heroes, they put their feet back in front of Yang Ling and stood up to salute.
"Well, you guys did a good job, I'll take credit for you later!" Yang Ling couldn't express her pain at the moment, so she could only force out a smile and praise them with the knife in front of everyone.
Dao Zi, Luo Feng and other brothers all had excited expressions on their faces. After all, after doing such a big job, they will walk with a strong back.
In the army, heroes are worshiped. If someone has some outstanding achievements, they will have a lot more to talk about when bragging.
"But you should also pay attention next time when you fight against the Japanese. Don't just think about blowing up the Japanese ammunition depot. When you blow up, you should also think about it. Sooner or later, the Japanese ammunition depot will belong to us. If you blow it up, it is equivalent to blowing up the enemy.
If we lose our own things, we can't do this kind of loss-making business in the future." Yang Ling warned half-jokingly.
Hearing what Yang Ling said, Daozi and the others suddenly realized that the joy of blowing up the ammunition depot suddenly turned into annoyance. Why didn't they think of it at the time?
"Sir, I..." Daozi thought Yang Ling was blaming him, and was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Yang Ling patted Daozi's shoulder and said cheerfully: "Pay attention next time, you did a good job this time and deserve praise. I guess the Japanese are jumping around and cursing me now."
"Hahaha..." The brothers around him laughed softly. Needless to say, the Japanese must be in a bad mood now.
Yang Ling guided the brothers to think more carefully in this way, hoping to train them to become independent commanders instead of small company commanders.
Yang Ling said loudly: "Brothers, since they blew up the Japs' ammunition depot, let's stimulate the Japs again."
Everyone raised their heads one after another, watching Yang Ling waiting for the next step, not knowing what this new excitement was.
"Now while the Japanese are in a hurry, all the brothers in the city who can fight should go to the front and concentrate their efforts to fight forward, trying to push the Japanese to the garden area in the east of the city, and try to mobilize the puppet troops who have retreated."
During the day, the troops sent by the guerrilla army outside the city one after another ambushed the returning puppet troops and made considerable gains.
Now most of the puppet troops have retreated to nearby villages like slippery loaches and are no longer approaching Gaoyou. This makes Yang Ling's strategy of encircling the point for reinforcements somewhat ineffective.
If they increase their attack intensity in the city at this moment, the Japs will definitely call for help urgently for fear of being wiped out. Even if the puppet troops don't want to come, they can't. Who makes the little Japs their masters?
Yang Ling just wanted to use the hands of the Japanese to mobilize those puppet troops who had retreated and then destroy them.
By destroying these puppet troops, they can not only eliminate the enemy's effective forces, but also flex their muscles and mobilize more Japanese and puppet troops.
Yang Ling now hopes that the battle in Gaoyou will get bigger and bigger. As long as enough Japanese and puppet troops are attracted, the next battle will not only be a matter for their Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps.
Although the winter offensive has been going on for almost half a month now, the Sulu Guerrilla Corps under Li Mingyang has eight regiments of troops, but it has always been fighting in small steps to preserve its strength.
The war of resistance and national salvation is a matter for all Chinese people. Some people are fighting bloody battles, while others are sitting on the Diaoyutai and watching, and then become mere wallflowers?
Now that Yang Ling is here, Li Mingyang and the others can't stay out of the situation. Even if the Japanese can't attack their territory, Yang Ling must lure him over.
It is necessary to drag the Sulu Guerrilla Corps and others into the water, firstly to consume their strength, so that they have no capital to defect to the Japanese, and secondly, to form a joint operation to contain and consume the Japanese, and reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield.
Of course, Yang Ling's plans were all his own secrets and could not be disclosed to the outside world. If he said to the outside world that he attracted a large number of Japanese and puppet troops to lure the Rasulu Guerrilla Corps, then some people might suspect that Yang Ling was a traitor.
Yang Ling knew that Wang Jingwei's traitor group would soon establish a puppet government in Nanjing. If Li Mingyang and Li Changjiang joined them, it would greatly strengthen the puppet army's power.
Now if he wants to prevent this incident from happening, he must make it impossible for the Sulu Guerrilla Corps to keep their strength and wait and see, but to fight against the Japs. As long as they have no capital and have fought bloody battles with the Japs, even if Li Mingyang and others want to be traitors, then
