Liuzhuang is a small village with more than fifty families in total. Except for a few of them, most of the other ones are thatched houses. I heard that the Japanese army was approaching, hundreds of villagers in Liuzhuang had already fled. There were no villagers in Liuzhuang but only Japanese troops. Therefore, the artillery of the National Army had no scruples and the artillery fire was extremely fierce.

These more than 200 Japanese troops also had two 92 infantry artillery guns, but under the superior firepower of the National Army, they only fired one or two shots and were removed by the National Army's artillery. Half an hour after the National Army's artillery bombardment, the walls in the village collapsed and the thatched houses began to burn. In such a small village, they were bombed for such a long time. It was estimated that most of the Japanese troops in the village had been killed or injured, so they ordered the artillery to suspend shooting, and the second battalion, as the main attacking force, began to attack the village.

Li Qinglin's fifth company rushed to the front of the entire battalion as a sharp knife, and the fourth company and the sixth company were both an auxiliary offensive force and a reserve force on both wings.

Liuzhuang was surrounded by wheat fields, and the terrain was flat and wide, which was extremely unfavorable for the attack. Li Qinglin thought that in this unobstructed terrain, there would be great casualties in the early stages, but the situation was not the case. Li Qinglin led three platoons of the fifth company to cover each other and attack each other. They quickly entered the yards of several families in the northeast corner of Liuzhuang. During the attack on Liuzhuang, the troops did not shoot any Japanese, and the fifth company did not suffer any casualties.

Liuzhuang suffered a half-hour shelling. Within this half-hour, several shells had fallen from almost every house. Almost all thatched houses were burning. The brick and tile houses were still standing because they were relatively strong, but they were also bombarded by the shells. The Fifth Company estimated that the more than 200 Japanese were almost blown up.

The Fifth Company successfully entered the village. The village was very quiet, and there was no sight or gunshot. Li Qinglin lay on the broken courtyard wall of a farmer's house and took out the four-fold telescope to observe carefully. The village was quiet, and there was no fortification built by the Japanese except for the broken houses of the farmer.

The fifth company continued to search and advance into the village. The first row of soldiers led by Xiao Liuzi suddenly searched for the remaining enemies in front, and the second row and the third row were covering the back.

There is a main road in the village. The villagers' houses are built on both sides of the road. Under Xiao Liuzi, they are led by the houses on both sides of the road as a cover, and go in one by one to search for the remaining enemies.

The village is usually surrounded by thatched huts. The thatched huts are burning with cannon fire. At this time, they are burning wildly. The house is no longer needed to go in. Xiao Liuzi and his friends searched carefully in the yard, and there was no Japanese in the front yard.

But when they continued to move forward and approached a brick house, the "Eight Hooks"! The gunshots of the 38th-large building broke the tranquility, and a soldier was shot in the head and fell to the ground and died.

Hearing another gunfire, everyone crawled on the ground when they heard the sound, they were carefully looking for the enemy's location.

But after waiting for a long time, no sound of the enemy's gunshots were heard. Xiao Liuzi led everyone to stand up slowly and searched forward in a row. Having just walked a few steps, "Dadada..." A crooked machine gun suddenly rang out. The two soldiers in front fell to the ground with the gunshots, and the people behind them fell to the ground again.

The continuous shooting of the wicked man finally exposed the Japanese firepower point. It turned out that the Japanese dug several holes at the base of the tiled house wall as shooting holes. These shooting holes are very hidden, and it is really difficult to find if you don’t observe carefully. The Japanese shot out from those shooting holes.

Xiao Liuzi immediately transferred to the Czech style, and he asked the machine gun to shoot at the Japanese. The wall of this tiled house was made of stone, and Czech bullets hit the stone and fired up, but the machine gun could not be eliminated.

The enemy's crooked machine guns fired back from time to time, and the Type 38 rifle fired accurately from time to time. Although the officers and soldiers in a row were lying on the ground to avoid bullets, two soldiers were still injured by the jumper. Xiao Liuzi and the others were blocked by the fire net and could not continue to move forward.

The attacking team is located at a position of one hundred meters away from the enemy's firepower point, and the infantry grenades cannot reach it. The enemy's firepower point is too strong, and the Japanese soldiers' shooting skills are too good. If they take a dense formation charge at this time, the attack may be successful in the end, but the casualties must be large, which is something that Li Qinglin does not want to see.

The best way to deal with the strong fortress is artillery fire. Li Qinglin ordered everyone to hide, and then sent Ding Goudan to run back to the battalion headquarters to report and demand emergency support from the regiment's artillery fire.

The battalion had already contacted the regiment headquarters by phone. After listening to Ding Goudan's report, the battalion commander immediately picked up the phone and asked for artillery support.

The artillery soldiers were bored, and the demands from the front line were in line with their intentions. Less than three minutes after receiving the call from the regiment commander, "Boom, Boom, Boom..." Several mountain cannon shells left the chamber.

More than fifty families in the village were marked with rulers by artillery soldiers, and the shells accurately hit the brick and tile house.

At this time, the so-called brick and tile walls were not made of bricks. The base of the house was stone, and the exterior wall was a so-called "foreskin wall" with thin bricks. Mountain cannon shells drilled several holes into the exterior wall of the brick adobe, and fell into the house and exploded. The tiles on the roof were blown away, and there were rumbling sounds in the house from time to time. It might be that the partition walls in the house were collapsing.

Taking advantage of the smoke from the explosion, Xiao Liuzi and his team rushed forward again.

As soon as a row of charges, the Japanese gunshots rang out again. Four more people fell in the stormtroopers, and even Xiao Liuzi was hit on the thigh by a 38-large bullet. Fortunately, the bullets only penetrated two holes into Xiao Liuzi's thigh and did not hurt the bones.

According to the general situation, after several shells were concentrated in such a small space in the house, the possibility of the people inside was surviving was not high. Even if the Japanese were not killed on the spot, the subsequent bricks and stones that collapsed from the walls could kill the people inside.

But now the facts are in front of you. The Japanese inside are living well, and they are still resisting tenaciously. There must be a strange name in this room!

The situation inside the house must be clear, otherwise the troops will suffer greater casualties. Li Qinglin ordered all the casualties to be lifted down, and then said to Li Gousheng: "You go find a ladder and let's go up the room to take a look."

Li Gousheng said anxiously: "Boss, I'll just go there, you can't go up."

Li Qinglin glared and said, "When is it now? What are you talking about? Others cover up, and the group of people will follow me!"

The soldiers of the second and third squads aimed at the Japanese gun holes, and the veterans kept dropping bombs forward, and they used the smoke from the grenades to block the Japanese's sight.

Taking advantage of the gap between the Japanese's crooked machine gun and added ammunition, Li Qinglin led a squad of soldiers to rush towards the side of the house. Li Gousheng and a soldier followed closely behind with a ladder.
