    The Eighth Route Army's counterattack was fierce. Although the Japanese army's second attack lasted for more than half an hour and even rushed into Zhuangzi, they were eventually driven out.

    The failure of the second attack also made Major Tanaka realize that the Tubal group in front of him was more difficult than he thought. It might be difficult to eliminate them without using tanks.

    And the order from the division headquarters is very clear. The troops must arrive at Zaoqiang County before three o'clock this afternoon, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable!

    After a slight hesitation, Major Tanaka immediately ordered the tank squadron on the other side of the river to find a way to cross the river and participate in the offensive!

    While waiting for the tank squadron, Major Tanaka organized another attack, but was repelled as expected!

    At this time, the open space outside Zhuangzi was full of corpses of Japanese and puppet troops, densely packed, at least three to four hundred. Counting the wounded who had been withdrawn, in less than an hour of attack, the Japanese and puppet troops had lost at least seven soldiers.  Hundreds of people.

    Although most of the casualties were puppet troops, there were at least two hundred puppet troops casualties!

    Thinking about how many people there are in Tubal Road in Zhuangzi, Major Tanaka felt evil in his heart!

    At 1:20 in the afternoon, the tank squadron finally found the bridge across the river from a small village downstream, and then took a detour to Wuwangzhuang!

    The arrival of the chariot squadron made Major Tanaka feel a little better!

    Without much gossip, the tank squadron leader received an order from Major Tanaka as soon as he came over, and all eight tanks of the squadron went into battle!

    In addition, Tanaka also assigned tasks to all four infantry squadrons of the entire brigade and the puppet troops. According to Tanaka's order, part of the entire army was mainly offensive and auxiliary, and launched an attack on Wuwangzhuang from the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.

    What¡¯s more important is that Major Tanaka also issued a cold-blooded order to bloodbath Wuwang Village!

    The Eighth Route Army in Zhuangzi had suffered more than half its casualties due to the continuous Japanese attacks. Only about 130 of the more than 300 troops were still able to fight. In addition, more than 30 seriously injured soldiers were concentrated in a place in the middle of Zhuangzi.  In the courtyard.

    In addition to these soldiers, there are three to four hundred ordinary people in Zhuangzi. Most of them are hiding in their homes, but there are also some bloody young adults who are helping the Eighth Route Army set up defense lines and treat the wounded.

    When the Japanese tanks appeared outside Zhuangzi, Lu Wenhui, the only remaining platoon leader of the first battalion, knew that the final moment of glory had arrived!

    He gathered together several fighting backbones and more than a dozen young and middle-aged men from Zhuangzi, and then said in a solemn tone: "Brothers and fellow villagers, everyone knows the current situation. We are surrounded, isolated and destroyed.  Right now. I know you are all real men and are not afraid of death, but I still have something to say to you at this last moment!"

    "Brother Hui, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, otherwise the little devil will attack!"

    Lu Wenhui nodded and said: "When we were ordered to attack, we were determined to die. The chief of staff had already told everyone about this when he came back, and even asked everyone in our battalion to write a suicide note to their families.  . But what we didn¡¯t expect was that the little devils would come so quickly that we didn¡¯t even have time to evacuate the people in Zhuangzi.¡±

    "There are at least three to four hundred people surrounded in Zhuangzi now. With the little devil's urine, after Zhuangzi is broken, they will take out their anger on these people as soon as possible. A massacre is inevitable."

    "Brother Hui, we all know this, but what can we do? The little devils have surrounded Zhuangzi to a crawl, and not even a fly can fly out. What can we do?"

    Lu Wenhui said in a deep voice: "It is obviously impossible to rescue everyone, but we can rescue some people!"

    "How to save?"

    Lu Wenhui looked at the young adults next to him, and then said: "Daniu, you are all from this village, so you should know the situation of each family better!"

    ¡°Of course I understand, if Brother Lu has anything to ask, just ask!¡±

    "When the Japs attack later, I will lead the remaining Eighth Route Army soldiers to resist desperately for a period of time and try to hold off the Japs. And you guys will take advantage of this period to immediately rush to other houses in Zhuangzi and move them to Zhuangzi.  All the women and children were escorted to the courtyard where the wounded of the Eighth Route Army were concentrated!"

    "What are you doing gathering there?"

    "I've seen it. There is a pretty big cellar behind the compound. Then you can hide all the people in the cellar, then blow up the house on the right and block the hole. But remember to check it.  , give the people in the cellar a breathing hole, don't hold them in?!  "

    Then Lu Wenhui continued: "I will arrange for the wounded and the little devils to fight to the death together. Based on my understanding of the little devils, if they kill all the people, there is a high probability that they will burn the place.  Instead of continuing the search, those who were hiding will be considered rescued!"

    ¡°And the little devils received an order to attack Zaoqiang County. They obviously can¡¯t stay here for long, so if they operate well, they can still rescue some people.¡±

    ¡°Okay, just follow what Brother Lu arranged!¡± Daniu said.

    "Remember to be quick, the Japs have used tanks this time, we won't be able to hold on for long!" Lu Wenhui warned in a deep voice.

    "yes!"

    "Okay, time is running out, let's get ready!"

    "yes!"

    Dividing line

    The battle soon started again. Unlike before, this time both the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army were ready for the last trembling!

    ¡°Boom¡­¡±

    Eight chariots lined up outside Wuwang Village, like ferocious beasts, looking at the small village not far away with black smoke!

    Behind the chariot were a large number of Japanese and puppet troops. They held long guns in their hands, and the bayonets in front of the muzzles shone with cold light, full of murderous intent!

    Not far behind the infantry is the Japanese artillery position. More than a dozen mortars are lined up. The gunners and ammunition handlers are already in place, waiting for the commander's order!

    And following Major Tanaka¡¯s order, each ammunition hand loaded the mortar shells into the muzzle!

    The projectile slid into the barrel, then quickly ejected, dragging its tail flame and flying towards Wuwangzhuang not far away!

    "Boom boom boom"

    The moment the explosion sounded, the defenders¡¯ position burst into flames!

    After all, it is not a formal defensive position. Most of the positions in Zhuangzi are stone walls or mud brick walls of ordinary people's homes, and farmers often store some firewood in their yards for firewood or for wintering livestock.

    Once the cannonball explodes, a fire will ignite instantly!

    While the artillery was firing, the Japanese tanks that were ready to go also drove towards Zhuangzi, and the Japanese and puppet soldiers followed the tanks to fight in coordination!

    There are Japanese soldiers from all directions. They are like a pair of huge palms stuck on Wuwangzhuang's neck. They are tightening hard, preparing to completely crush this Chinese village
