Pinglu Yongfu's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted, "What is that?"
"Reporting to the Brigade Commander!"
"It's artillery fire from the Chinese army—!"
"Artillery fire?"
Pinglu Yongfu frowned. Judging from the scale of the attack, the Chinese army had at least a hundred cannons!
Among them were field guns and cannons.
When did the Chinese army acquire so many artillery pieces?!
Just as Hiratsu Yongfu was filled with doubt and uncertainty, another violent explosion occurred.
"Boom—!"
"Boom—!!"
"BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"
Suddenly, shells fell, leaving the east and west gates of Niangziguan Town and Niangziguan Railway Station in ruins, with rubble, broken wood, charred corpses, and rivers of blood everywhere!
"Baka! Damn it!"
"This is artillery fire from the Chinese army!"

Pinglu Yongfu cursed and roared, "Fight back—!"
The artillery positions in Niangziguan Town began to return fire.
However, their location had already been identified by the artillery of the 2nd Division, so their counterattacks were completely ineffective.
"boom--!"

Violent explosions rang out as the east and west gates of Niangziguan Town and the Niangziguan Railway Station were repeatedly reduced to ruins, accompanied by screams of agony! Almost all the fortifications were destroyed!
No matter what kind of bunkers, pillboxes, trenches, or sandbags they are, they will all be blown to smithereens!
The Chinese army's artillery bombardment was extremely fierce. The Japanese troops in Niangziguan Town were unable to retaliate, let alone fight back!
They could only watch helplessly as Niangziguan Town was reduced to ruins amidst the violent explosions, with corpses strewn everywhere!
In just ten minutes, the two regiments of the 4th Brigade were bombed to pieces, suffering heavy casualties!
This completely baffled the new 5th Regiment of the neighboring Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region!
Their mission was to attack Niangziguan at midnight. Why did the North China Field Army launch the attack ahead of schedule?
The key point is that we are the main attackers, and you are the supporting attackers!
Thinking of this, Chen Zhihua, the commander of the new 5th Regiment, hurriedly shouted, "Quickly! Send a telegram to headquarters immediately, saying that the North China Field Army has taken action ahead of schedule!"
"yes!"
The communications soldier quickly ran off to send a telegram.
