Li Dazhong said to Wu Xiaoming: "If you can't go up the roof, you have to blow up these turrets in order to control the roof." ”

Wu Xiaoming took out a piece of red cloth from his body and said to a soldier: "You still have to go up to the roof, instruct the artillery, and blow up the enemy's artillery tower." But be careful, come down in a flash, and don't let the gunners on the turret hit. ”

Several warriors set up a ladder below, and this warrior stepped on this ladder to go up to the house, and rolled on the roof, when a string of bullets from the enemy hit, and a bunch of earth bubbles rose on the roof.

The warrior quickly scrambled to his feet, waving the red cloth in his hand, and shook it towards the enemy's turret. Before he could shake it a second time, a string of 6.5 mm bullets from the turret hit, piercing the soldier's chest in one fell swoop.

He rolled off the roof, and several warriors quickly rushed to his side, trying to bandage him. The warrior was in a state of flux, his eyes widened, his limbs moved for a moment, and then he didn't move.

Li Dazhong touched the major artery in his neck, and there was no sign of life.

"Fuck," Li Dazhong scolded, "I have to blow up all the stubborn soldiers on the turret." It's so hateful, it has damaged several of my generals. ”

With a "boom," a 70-mm high-explosive grenade flew from the muzzle of the 92nd Infantry, and hit a turret at once, and the fire flashed, and a block of bricks and tiles mixed with thick smoke rose up, and it took a long time for the smoke to dissipate. Looking at the turret again, the third floor collapsed by half a corner, and in the rest of the floors, the guns and bullets did not go off.

Li Dazhong scolded: "Fight again, fight again if you have the ability!" What about your machine guns, what about your rifles, fight again! ”

Li Dazhong led a few people to the roof again, and as soon as he got to the roof, machine gun bullets were fired from the broken gun tower.

The fighters who went up were again killed and wounded.

"You crow's mouth!" Wu Xiaoming scolded Li Dazhong, "What are you calling, you don't have anything to do if you don't call." ”

Li Dazhong was so angry that he scolded at the turret: "You two devils, what kind of ability is hiding in the turret, you have the ability to fight bayonets!" Come down! ”

Not to be outdone, a string of 6.5 mm bullets flew down, hitting the roof of the house with earth bubbles.

Another 70mm grenade hit the turret, sending up a cloud of smoke and blowing up a large hole in the second floor. Now it's good, the machine guns on the turret don't go off, and they are completely dumb.

The other turret was also uncomfortable, and he received 2 shells from the infantry gun, and now he was "honest".

Wu Xiaoming saw that the opportunity had come, and commanded the soldiers to go to the roof, as long as the roof was on, the commanding heights of the village would be controlled, and the streets and courtyards could be directly blocked.

The 3rd and 2nd Battalions of the main regiment of the division, under the leadership of the village guides, also took the initiative to attack the enemy, turning from passive to active. Our camp is constantly expanding, the enemy's position is shrinking, and it has been compressed into a small and narrow area of the village.

Wu Xiaoming and Li Dazhong also pressed up from behind with a company. The enemy was quickly pressed into several small courtyards. Li Dazhong shouted: "Recalcitrant soldiers, surrender your guns and don't kill them, treat the prisoners preferentially, and if you don't surrender, we will throw grenades." ”

The recalcitrant army in the courtyard still refused to surrender, and a few grenades were thrown in, "Boom, boom, boom-" There was a chaotic sound, only to make the recalcitrant soldiers cry wolf, and finally they couldn't help it, and some recalcitrant soldiers shouted: "We surrender, we surrender-"

"Come out with your hands up, if you don't come out, we'll throw grenades." Li Dazhong was afraid that the recalcitrant army would play tricks again, so he shouted loudly.

The recalcitrant army had no choice but to raise their hands and surrender. At this point, the battle of Dawuzhuang has all ended.

In this battle, the two main companies of the Boguang Third Division were eliminated, and more than 200 rifles and seven or eight light machine guns were captured. Of course, we also suffered some losses.

Han Xing, Liu Zhiyuan, and Wu Yawu entered the village. At this time, Wu Dayi ran to Wu Yawu and cried: "Our joint defense team in Dawuzhuang fell into the hands of the recalcitrant soldiers, they said that they were the Eighth Route Army, deceived into the village, and killed more than a dozen of our party members and joint defense members. You have to avenge our fellow villagers in Dawuzhuang! ”

Wu Yawu nodded and said: "We must resolutely suppress those heinous traitors, and release ordinary recalcitrant soldiers in accordance with relevant policies after criticism and education." ”

Wu Yawu is dealing with local matters. Han Xing and Liu Zhiyuan were discussing the next military action.

Han Xing first discussed with Liu Zhiyuan: "The stronghold of Dawuzhuang has been pulled out, and in the next step, the recalcitrant army may come." What should we do with the existing fortifications in this village? ”

Liu Zhiyuan frowned and said, "I'm also thinking about this matter." If, after repair, these fortifications are handed over to Dawuzhuang or some local troops, it will be a heavy burden for them. But if they stay, if the recalcitrant army comes back, they will be used again. What do you say? ”

Han Xing nodded and said, "If that's the case, then mobilize the masses to tear down these fortifications so that they don't be reused by the recalcitrant army." In the case of the turret, there are just some building materials, so they will be distributed to each person's house. As for the outer walls, then mobilize the masses to tear them down. To the blockade ditch, the fill of the fill. Traffic ditch, the masses still have to use it to flee for their lives, which should be kept, which should be destroyed, please discuss it with the county magistrate Wu, and what to do. ”

This matter was decided, and Han Xing discussed with Liu Zhiyuan again: "Although we have suffered a lot of losses, Dawuzhuang has taken it after all, and a big nail has been pulled out." Next, what should I do, is it to withdraw the troops, or strike while the iron is hot? ”

Liu Zhiyuan always maintained the position of chief of staff in front of Han Xing, and he asked Han Xing: "What do you say?" ”

Han Xing thought for a while and said, "Da Wu Zhuang is the most difficult to fight compared to Zhu Lou, Da Xiaoma, Jiang Zhuang, and Han Jiagao. Now that Dawuzhuang has been won, I think, strike while the iron is hot, hit Zhu Lou, and ask Commander Liu to think about it? ”

Liu Zhiyuan thought for a while and said: "Although we have suffered a lot of losses in this battle, we have gained greater political benefits, and if these strongholds are not eliminated for a day, it will cause great trouble to our Qinan base area. I agree with you, let's discuss it with Secretary Wu again! ”

After a while, Wu Yawu finished dealing with his affairs, and Liu Zhiyuan told him his and Han Xing's opinions. Wu Yawu was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is a great thing, we have been looking forward to this day for a long time, these strongholds are so hateful that our base areas are almost eaten up." If you attack Zhulou, our local generals will greatly assist you. ”

The guard battalions of the military sub-district, Chiping County, and the New 8th Brigade reached a unanimous agreement, and they did what they said, taking advantage of the fact that it was already afternoon and it was not yet dark.

Why don't we fight a night battle on the offensive, I don't know why, now our strength is strong, we are gaining momentum, and we are fighting during the day with great fanfare. If the strength is not good, and you are unwilling to expose your strength, then you have to fight at night.

Zhulou Village is 2 kilometers southwest of Dawuzhuang and 1.5 kilometers north of Dabai Village. Politically speaking, this Zhu Lou must also be captured, to put it mildly, Zhu Lou faces south and shoots a shot, it may hit the roof of Dabai Village.

The main regiment of the division and the guard battalion of Han Xing immediately marched towards Zhulou Village, and the troops advanced rapidly along the wide and deep communication trenches. On the way, Han Xing and Liu Zhiyuan discussed how to attack this Zhulou Village.

Liu Zhiyuan asked Han Xing: "How to fight this Zhulou Village?" Is it still the same way of playing as Dawuzhuang, that is, surround it and annihilate it all. ”

Han Xing said: "Let's not change the way of playing." Surround them on three sides and stay on the other, and it is better to scare them away with powerful power. This is also a means to reduce the losses of our strong attack, after all, we are not willing to engage in positional warfare with them. If you want to destroy them, there is still a chance in the future. ”

Liu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Okay, do it like this." ”

This stronghold of Zhu Lou is guarded by a company of Bo Guangsan. There are no deer barricades in the village, no blockade ditches, and no outer walls. Just in a corner of the village, a central turret was built, and on the outside of the turret there was a fence. Inside the walls, there are rows of recalcitrant dormitories and warehouses.

Liu Zhiyuan's team entered Zhulou and immediately ordered the first, second, and third battalions of the main regiment to surround the Zhulou stronghold from the southeast, north, and south.

After the military deployment was completed, the main regiment of the division shouted into the earthen loudspeakers on the turret. "Brothers of the recalcitrant army, there is no way back for you, surrender! If we surrender, we will treat the prisoners preferentially, and if we don't, there will be only one way to die. ”

The turret was still quite stubborn, and the recalcitrant company commander scolded down: "What's so great about your Eighth Road, you also surrender to us, surrender us, and we will also treat the prisoners preferentially." ”

As soon as Han Xing heard this, he was angry, these stubborn soldiers were stubborn, they were dying, and they were boiled ducks with hard mouths. He took a megaphone and scolded these recalcitrant soldiers, saying: "I only look at the mud on my legs when I get out of the water, let me show you our marksmanship first, have you looked at the small flag on your turret?" I say it falls and it falls. Look at it—"

Han Xing said to Wu Xiaoming: "Company Commander Wu, give that little flag to them a shot." ”

Wu Xiaoming yelled and said, "Got it." ”

How else to say that these recalcitrant soldiers are hateful, they are two skins, and even the flags are the same, both the Japanese plaster flag and the Kuomintang flag. There is a Kuomintang flag planted on this turret, and this flag is used to deceive the masses and coax some people who do not understand the situation.

Wu Xiaoming adjusted the scope, aimed at the blue sky and white sun flag with an assault rifle, closed his left eye, opened his right eye slightly, aimed well, held his breath, and gently pulled the trigger towards this flagpole.
