Later, he served as a party representative of the 26th Regiment of the 3rd Army of the National Revolutionary Army. In 1927, he was appointed chief of staff of the 74th Regiment of the 25th Division of the 4th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. In August of the same year, he led the heavy machine gun company of the regiment to participate in the Nanchang Uprising. After the uprising, he served as the commander of the 74th Regiment and went south to Guangdong with his troops. At the end of October, the remnants of the Nanchang rebel army were reorganized into a column, with Wang Erzhuo as chief of staff, and together with Zhu De, Chen Yi, and others, he moved to Fujian, Guangdong, Gansu, and Xiangbian, and persisted in armed struggle. In January 1928, he participated in leading the Shonan Uprising and served as chief of staff of the 1st Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army.
In April 1928, after Zhu De and Mao Zedong's jinggangshan division met, Wang Erzhuo was appointed chief of staff of the 4th Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and commander of the 28th Regiment. He assisted Mao Zedong and Zhu De in commanding the Red 4th Army to win victories in the battles of Wudoujiang, Caoshiao, and Longyuankou, and smashed the second, third, and fourth large-scale "advances" launched by the Kuomintang army.

In 2009, Wang Erzhuo was elected as one of the "100 Heroic And Exemplary Figures Who Made Outstanding Contributions to the Founding of New China".
"Wang Erzhuo is a famous heroic martyr who walked out of the old Shimen District and is an excellent commander of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. In his short but brilliant life, he vividly explained the unswerving pursuit of faith, the heroic and tenacious spirit of struggle, and the revolutionary pride of not being afraid of sacrifice. Liu Fanbiao, deputy director of the Shimen County Party History Research Office, said.
Shimen County is located on the border of Xiang'e, at the northeast end of the Wuling Mountains, with dangerous terrain and high altitude, and was once included in the counties of the Wuling Mountains concentrated in contiguous areas of extreme poverty. Today, Shimen County has lifted itself out of poverty, and the former "poor mountain nest" has undergone earth-shaking changes. At the end of 2020, with the completion and trial operation of the Shimen to Cili section of the Anci Expressway, Shimen County ended the history of no highway and forged ahead on the avenue of high-quality development.
