"That Chen Ergou!"
"The complaint hotline of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region has even reached my 129th Division!"
At the headquarters of the 129th Division, the division commander slammed the report in his hand onto the table!
He was so angry his chest swelled up! His face turned bright red!
"Don't you have any discipline at all?!"
"Do you think our Eighth Route Army is just for show?!"
"How dare you act without authorization!?"
"Give him an independent regiment, and he'll reorganize it into the North China Field Army, and even print a few stars on his uniform and appoint himself a general!"
"His generals are a whole basketful!!!"
"I'm so angry!!!"
The division commander gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the table in anger, causing the teacups on the table to jump up!
The people below dared not utter a sound!
I just watched him silently!
That said, it's a bit much for Chen Ergou to hang up the stars on his own without headquarters approval.
Seeing that the division commander was angry, the political commissar quickly tried to smooth things over: "Division commander, don't get so angry. There's no turning back now that the arrow has been released. Since it's already done... let's just do it ahead of schedule!"
"Political Commissar! It's all your fault for spoiling him!!!"
The division commander glared at him. "Last time you said that Chen Ergou should still have some sense of propriety when it comes to important matters. Where is that sense of propriety?! Is this what you call propriety?!"
"The final assault was planned for 12 o'clock! He aimed it! He broke in at 10 o'clock!"
"He's happy now! But what am I going to do?!"
"What about the other brother units!?"
"It's possible that because of one of his decisions, everyone has to cooperate with his actions!"
"Look at this stack of reports, it's almost a small mountain!"
The division commander was so angry that his chest heaved, and he pressed his palm against his heart!
"Cough cough cough..."
He was so angry that he kept coughing.
"Okay, okay, okay! I'll go to headquarters to complain right away!"
"I'll make him regret it!"
Seeing that the division commander was really angry, the political commissar quickly helped him up, saying, "Commander, please calm down! Calm down first!"
"If you get sick, who will take charge?"
"How about this, I will personally call the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region and hope that the new 5th Regiment can cooperate and change the main attack to a secondary attack."
Upon hearing this, the division commander nodded and sighed, "That's the only way. After the battle is over, I'll definitely report him to headquarters!"
"No! Impeach him 10,000 times! Impose a 1 million-word self-criticism!!!"

Niangziguan Pass.
The artillery of the 8th Artillery Regiment and the 39th Heavy Artillery Regiment continued their attack.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang -!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang-!!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang-!!!"
Niangziguan Town and Niangziguan Railway Station are both under heavy shelling!
Amidst the roar of cannons, the Japanese positions trembled continuously, and earth and stones flew everywhere!
All the fortifications at Dongguankou, Xiguankou, and Niangziguan Railway Station were blown to smithereens!
"Baka—!"
"Baka—!!"
"Baka—!!!"
Hiratsu Isamu, the commander of the 4th Brigade, hid in the ruins, covering his ears and cursing incessantly!
The entire command post has been destroyed by artillery fire, and now he is barely alive.
The surrounding area was a complete mess!
The scene was one of utter devastation!
The air was filled with the sound of gunfire!
The bodies of Japanese soldiers were scattered everywhere!
Everywhere there were burning wreckage and exploding fireballs!
Thick smoke billowed in!
This artillery barrage has been going on for thirty minutes. Originally, he thought the Chinese army was short of ammunition and wouldn't be able to hold out for long, but now it seems that they are not joking with him at all!
"Baka!! What on earth is going on?!"
"How many heavy artillery pieces does the Chinese army actually have?!"
Previously, he thought there were only a hundred gates, but now it seems there are at least several hundred!
Fireballs from the explosions were everywhere!
Everywhere there are fortifications that have been bombed and collapsed!
Everywhere you look, there are blasted-open mountains!
Everywhere there was dirt and debris from the explosion!
"Are they crazy?!"
"Baka!!!"
Hiratsu Yuu completely broke down!
The 10th Regiment was responsible for Niangziguan Town, and the 11th Regiment was responsible for Niangziguan Railway Station. The commanders of these two regiments had lost contact with him!
They are currently under shelling, and their fate is unknown!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!!"
Countless shells streaked across the sky, continuously landing in Niangziguan Town and Niangziguan Railway Station!
"BOOM ...
"BOOM ...
Another violent explosion occurred in Niangziguan Town and Niangziguan Railway Station!
Those Japanese soldiers hiding in the ruins and bunkers were blown to pieces by the artillery shells!
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!"
"Quickly send a telegram to headquarters! The Chinese army has deployed hundreds of heavy artillery pieces and is shelling our Niangziguan defense line!"
"The situation is extremely critical!! Requesting immediate support! Support! Support!!"
With the help of his chief of staff and adjutant, Hirano Yufu struggled to his feet and crawled toward the telegraph room!
I just finished sending the telegram.
"boom--!!!"
Another loud bang echoed through the sky!
A Type 89 150mm cannon shell fell from the sky!
It landed in the telegraph room!
They blew the telegraph room to smithereens!
Hiratsu Yuu was also killed on the spot!
The Japanese chief of staff and adjutant also died!
