At that time, the army's mobility ability was very strong, especially after occupying the railway and highway lines, relying on its advantage of a high degree of mechanization, the troops were mobilized very quickly, and the Luzhuang hit made the army that could not capture the main force of the Eighth Route Army immediately excited, and from the bottom to the top it was like a chicken blood, and the excitement was inexplicable.

After receiving the report, Lieutenant General Bunzaburo Kawagishi, the commander of the 20th Division, began to think that this was just a small battle and did not care. Later, seeing that the troops could not quickly eliminate the defenders of Luzhuang, knowing that they had met the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army, and then looking at the map, they knew that the reason why the troops of the Eighth Route Army were holding on to Luzhuang was to cover other troops or ordinary people from escaping into the mountains, so he strictly ordered the commander of the 39th Brigade, Major General Yoshito Takagi, to urge the 77th Infantry Wing to go to a large sazuo, go all out to capture Luzhuang, capture the main force of the Reading Division of the Eighth Route Army, and resolutely annihilate it.

Considering that after the troops entered the mountainous area, their mobility ability declined and reinforcements were difficult, Lieutenant General Kawagishi Fumizaburo also ordered Major General Yoshito Takagi to lead the troops directly under the 39th Brigade and the 78th Infantry Wing to move closer to Luzhuang to support the 77th Wing.

Kawagishi Bunzaburo was ruthless, and the army continued to rush to the front line of Luzhuang.

Wang Erhu is a veteran soldier who joined the army from Suining, Sichuan. Before joining the army, Wang Erhu was a famous hunter on the Chengdu Plain, often holding an old sleeve and going to the countryside to hunt. After joining the army, Wang Erhu found that there was no fundamental difference between fighting Hu Zongnan or Ma Jiajun and fighting rabbits. Since joining the army to the Red Third Army, Wang Erhu has always felt that he is the material of a sharpshooter, but the Red Third Army is not the Red Seventh Army, and there is no sniper brigade and special operations brigade, so he can only be a special shooter.

Since crossing the Yellow River to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, Wang Erhu feels that his marksmanship has finally come into use, and those devils are bigger than rabbits, stupider than rabbits, and easier to fight than rabbits. It's a pity that the devils are more difficult to provoke than rabbits, they have planes, tanks, and artillery, and they don't have no other way but to run like rabbits, but under the cover of planes and tanks, they keep attacking, attacking and attacking, which is completely a deadly posture.

After engaging fire with the Yue army this morning, Wang Erhu basically shot one gun at a time, and the guns rang out, and in front of the area he was responsible for defending, whether it was cavalry or infantry, the little devils fell to the ground one after another. Zeng Chunjian was secretly surprised when he found out, not only gave him reinforcement ammunition, but also assigned two soldiers as his assistants to load him with bullets.

Within 150 meters, the gun rang out, and after every five rounds of ammunition, the soldier in charge of loading the bullet handed him the loaded gun, so that he could shoot continuously. In the end, knowing that he had encountered a sharpshooter, the devil concentrated artillery and machine-gun fire to greet him, and sparked his stealth position.

By the time Zeng Chunjian gave the order to withdraw to the village, Wang Erhu had already eliminated 17 devils.

This is how the combat effectiveness of the troops is constituted, firepower is one level, and the combat quality of individual soldiers is another. In the final analysis, the so-called trump card unit is to closely integrate cluster firepower and individual soldier quality to the greatest extent, supplemented by effective organization, to form a combat collective.

The Red Third Army Corps is the backbone of our army, and such a unit is not to say that it is facing an enemy who is 100 or 10 times more ferocious than Yue Kou, and it is also a life that is endless, and every soldier will fight until the last moment of his life.

After Zeng Chunjian led his troops to withdraw from the village position, he relied on the courtyard built by Luzhuang bluestone and fought desperately with Yue Kou.

Wang Erhu was the last group of fighters to evacuate the position at the head of the village, for the simple reason that the troops needed to rely on his shooting skills to stop the enemy. After retreating to Luzhuang Village, Wang Erhu found out that this Luzhuang is a fucking village made of stone!

The devil entered the village, and the sound of the bluestone-paved road in the village and the friction of the devil's leather boots spread far away. Wang Erhu could clearly hear the footsteps and shouts of the devil through the courtyard wall, nodded hurriedly, signaled the soldier who loaded him to take out the grenade, pull the string, and stagnated for three seconds before throwing it out through the courtyard wall.

Listening to the explosion of the grenade and the cries of the devils, Wang Erhu grinned, and then took advantage of the fact that the devils had not yet reacted, led the two soldiers to the roof and began to kill them one by one.

The devil's grenadier began to chase Wang Erhu. Originally, this grenadier was just a simple grenade launcher with no aiming equipment, but the army was well-trained, and it was very accurate and fast, and a good shooter could fire 20 rounds per minute. Seeing that Wang Erhu shot on the roof of the house, the devil's grenadier hit it with a few shots, blowing up the roof, and Wang Erhu fell to the ground with a grunt. When he got up, he saw that the two fighters who had loaded him had died. Gently closing the eyes of his comrades, Wang Erhu took out all the bullets on the two soldiers, put their guns on his back, turned around and went to another courtyard.

When I entered the courtyard, I saw that several ghost soldiers had already come in with cats on their waists, and they were vigilantly searching with guns. Wang Erhu was about to raise his gun to shoot, when a Czech machine gun stretched out from the window of the main room in the courtyard, and a shuttle was shot, and all the little devils went back to his grandmother's house.

As soon as Wang Erhu saw it, he knew that his comrades-in-arms in the yard had used this yard as a trap, waiting for the devil to be fooled, so he turned around and returned to the original yard, quietly hiding under the windowsill of the house where the roof had just been lifted off by the devil's grenadier, stretching out the barrel of the gun, and watching the gate of the yard vigilantly.

The three devils touched the yard, as if the three guys were a combat group, and they cooperated very tacitly, and after entering the yard, they wanted to find cover, wanted to hide their bodies, and then searched after observing the situation in the yard.

Wang Erhu is fighting well, where will he give the devil this opportunity, he will shoot with a gun, and a devil will be beaten to the ground with his chest covered with one shot. Wang Erhu withdrew the bullet casing and was about to fire a second shot, when the remaining two devils fired, and one of them punched a hole in Wang Erhu's military cap. Wang Erhu was taken aback, this little devil's marksmanship is not bad!

Wang Erhu hurriedly changed positions, hid under the windowsill of another room, and fired another shot, killing the second devil. Now the third devil hurriedly rolled towards the gate of the courtyard, and as soon as he arrived at the gate, a bullet hit and directly knocked him down at the gate of the courtyard.

Wang Erhu only then transferred, because he knew that if he didn't transfer, the devil's grenadier would come again, and he couldn't leave if he wanted to. Sure enough, as soon as Wang Erhu left, the devil's grenadier blew up the hiding place he had just hidden. Wang Erhu glanced back, scolded the turtle son, and went to find a new hiding spot.

After all, the army was well-trained and reacted quickly, and after being severely attacked by the Eighth Route Army, the cunning devils immediately adjusted their tactics, captured several courtyards with all their might, established an attack position, and then began to besiege on all sides and advance courtyard by courtyard.

After all, the devils are numerous and have strong firepower, and although they cannot use heavy weapons, grenadiers can fire not only special grenades, but also grenades and gas bombs. In particular, in this kind of courtyard battle, the convenient and lightweight characteristics of the grenadier were all brought into play, and it was much more practical than mortars.

After the devils established an attack position, they began to fight steadily, and the pressure on the Eighth Route Army was greater, and the roofs and courtyards were all concentrated bombing targets for the devils' grenadiers. The lethality of the grenadier is also relatively strong, and the killing area of each special grenade is eight square meters. After the grenadier attack, the devils poured into the courtyard and engaged the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were lucky enough to survive.

The fierce battle continued, and the devil reinforcements kept coming, and more and more troops entered the village to participate in the direct attack.

Zeng Chunjian saw that it was not a way to go on like this, there was no possibility of repelling the attack of the devils, but it was not possible to break through, it was broad daylight, and if he broke through, he would undoubtedly kill himself. They can only defend to the death, and from time to time organize small units in squads to take advantage of the passages opened between the courtyards to take the initiative to attack and counterattack the devils, and strive to control more courtyards.

The small Lu Zhuang was full of blood for a while.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, our troops had been compressed into several courtyards in the northeast corner of the village, and the soldiers braved the enemy's machine gun and grenadier fire, desperately resisted and held the Japanese army in a desperate position.

At this time, the army was already victorious, and it became more and more crazy. Seeing that he could not take the small Luzhuang after a day of fierce fighting, but instead left corpses and wounded soldiers all over the ground, he became angry and ordered the grenadiers to be concentrated and used, and all light and heavy machine guns were put on the roof, so he completely suppressed the Eighth Route Army with firepower, organized sappers to carry out blasting, and completely destroyed the courtyard guarded by the Eighth Route Army.

In this way, the battle is even more intense.

Seeing that the situation on the battlefield had deteriorated further and that the complete loss of Luzhuang was imminent, Zeng Chun ordered comrades with good marksmanship to organize and focus on cracking down on the devil's grenadiers and machine gun shooters, and ordered the troops to further shrink their positions and retreat to the last few courtyards.

Receiving the order to attack the enemy's grenadiers and machine-gun shooters, Wang Erhu went to the roof again. Climb to the roof and take a look, obediently, this devil has a fucking big money, the roofs in the west and south are full of devils' machine guns, and several courtyards controlled by the Eighth Route Army are sealed to death.

Wang Erhu knew that if he didn't kill these devils' machine gun shooters, after a while, the devils might occupy all the positions of our army, and maybe he and his comrades-in-arms would have to revolutionize to the end.

Wang Erhu took a breath, adjusted his breathing, gently pulled the trigger, and the bullet roared towards the head of a devil heavy machine gun shooter opposite, and the brains of that guy came out. The co-shooter next to him was taken aback, and hurriedly went to grab the machine gun, and another bullet flew in, and this guy rolled off the roof with a machine gun.

As soon as the commander of the devil next to him saw that the Eighth Route Army was on the roof, he immediately ordered all the machine guns to shoot at the roof where Wang Erhu was, and the bullets smashed the tiles on the roof to pieces.

Wang Erhu has already been transferred, otherwise, he would have been beaten into a nest of horses.

After changing positions, Wang Erhu fired a few more shots and killed a few more devil shooters. However, his good luck also came to an end, the devil commander saw that the machine gun shooters were hit one after another, and the other party seemed to have only one person, so he immediately concentrated the machine gun to block Wang Erhu's position, and transferred grenadiers to bombard the roof of Wang Erhu's house until the roof was completely blown up.

Wang Erhu had already been shot before the devil grenadier shelling, so with such dense machine gun fire, it was impossible not to be shot. Before Wang Erhu lost consciousness, he only thought that in his hometown in Sichuan, there was a girl waiting for him to go back and get married!

At the moment of Wang Erhu's sacrifice, the sixth guerrilla detachment led by Gao Erhua started in the east of Luzhuang.

When Gao Erhua led the sixth detachment of the guerrillas of the Reading Division of the Eighth Route Army to the vicinity of Luzhuang, it was already half past three in the afternoon.

Climbing on the ditch of the trench, Gao Erhua saw that Luzhuang had been surrounded by devils, but fortunately, the gunshots and grenade explosions in the village had not stopped, and it seemed that the two sides had started a battle for the courtyard in the village.

Gao Erhua knew that the courtyard of this Luzhuang was made of bluestone, which was naturally conducive to defense, but there were too many troops, and after a long time, the defending Eighth Route Army would inevitably not be able to support it, and the loss of Luzhuang was only a matter of time or time, and now the comrades-in-arms must have been very difficult, so they had to attack the devils immediately, attract the attention of the devils, and reduce the pressure on our army in the village, so they decisively ordered to fire at the army.

Gao Erhua's fight, the devils who were deployed in the east of Luzhuang were immediately attracted, turned their guns and fired at the sixth guerrilla detachment, and the devil artillery in the west of the village had a place to use, and the position was in a hurry, and the command sounded, and the devils' shells soon fell on the position of the sixth detachment.

Hearing the sound of gunfire in the east of the village, Zeng Chunjian immediately picked up the binoculars and took a closer look, it turned out that it was the sixth guerrilla detachment of Gao Erhua who was passing by here in the morning attacking the devils.

Although they knew that the combat effectiveness of the sixth guerrilla detachment was limited, and it was impossible for them to tear open their mouths and rush in to meet them, they did attract the devil's idea with such a fight. Zeng Chunjian knew that if he didn't break through at this time, he would have to sacrifice all of them here. Sacrifice is a trivial matter, and the key is that you can't complete the task of luring the enemy.

Zeng Chunjian immediately ordered the troops to take the wounded, tear down the wall of the courtyard in the northeast corner, and personally hold a light machine gun to open the way in front and break through to the east.

As soon as the devils gathered in the east of the village heard the gunfire of the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army, they knew that this army had no heavy firepower. Anyway, the position of the Eighth Route Army in the village was getting smaller and smaller, and under the pressure of powerful firepower, it was impossible to break through in broad daylight, so he pointed his command knife and concentrated his forces to attack the Sixth Guerrilla Detachment under the cover of artillery fire.

Zeng Chunjian led the breakthrough troops to tear down the wall at this time, broke out of the encirclement, and beat the devil's back. In this fight, the devils in the east were immediately defeated, especially the machine gun and grenadier positions of the devil squadron left behind, which were killed by the Eighth Route Army at the first time. The troops quickly opened a gap and rushed out.

After joining up with Gao Erhua's Sixth Guerrilla Detachment, Zeng Chunjian's eyes were red when he looked at the troops: a backbone battalion of more than 400 people, only 82 people rushed out, and the casualties were unbearable!

Angry and angry, no matter how distressed he was, Zeng Chunjian hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat along the trenches of the official road, and retreated towards Zihongkou.
