On the same night, the Japanese army withdrew from Liaoyang City overnight, and although the People's Army did not attack Liaoyang City, it had been closely monitoring the movement of Liaoyang City, so the Japanese army retreated from Liaoyang City, and the People's Army had already learned about it. However, in order to avoid extraneous branches, the People's Army did not take advantage of the situation to launch an attack, but waited for the Japanese army to withdraw from Liaoyang City, and immediately entered Liaoyang City, taking over everything left by the Japanese army.

At 1 o'clock in the morning, the People's Army had taken full control of Liaoyang City. Fortunately, when the Japanese army evacuated from Liaoyang, all the captured residents were released, and when the Japanese army withdrew, they also left a large amount of ammunition and materials in Liaoyang, which became the trophies of the People's Army.

After the 4th Army attacked Zhangtaizi, it immediately sent two divisions north, occupied the Shili River at about 3 o'clock in the morning, and immediately launched a defense. At this time, the 3rd Army also successfully occupied Anshan, and received a new order from the headquarters to move south along the Anda line, open up the connection between Liaoyang and Lushun, and let the Liaoyang to Lushun section of the Anda line be opened to traffic.

Although geographically, Liaoxi is closer to Liaoyang, but because of the internal obstruction of the Liaohe River, the railway line cannot be extended to Liaoyang, so it is more important to open up the Anda line. In addition, another armored train of the People's Army has already landed in Lushun, once the Antario line is opened, the armored train will be able to reach Liaoyang within two days, and it is naturally a powerful fire support for Liaoyang, although the People's Army has forced the Japanese army to withdraw from Liaoyang, but it has directly faced another enemy - the Russian army, and after losing the Japanese army, the common enemy of both sides, the People's Army and the Russian army may turn their faces at any time. An armored train is not only two large-caliber heavy guns, but also dozens of other 155 mm, 125 mm, 105 mm, 75 mm and other guns of various calibers, and its combat is equivalent to at least two artillery regiments.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the Russian army appeared on the outskirts of the Shili River and finally made official contact with the People's Army.

Although the Russian army did not dare to get too close to Shenyang, but it has been paying attention to the movements of the Japanese army in Shenyang, because it was after reaching an agreement with the East China government to take the Shili River as the boundary, the Russian army is also gradually increasing a large number of troops to Shenyang, just when the People's Army attacked Liaoyang, the Russian army has gathered nearly 200,000 troops in the north of Shenyang, and at this time the Japanese army has withdrawn most of the army from Shenyang, so the Russian army finally mustered up the courage to launch an attack on Shenyang.

Since this was also the first battle after Linnevich, the new commander of the Far Eastern Army and Governor-General of the Far East who succeeded Kurtkin, took office, and at this time there were less than 80,000 Japanese troops stationed in Shenyang, and they were still being attacked by the People's Army in the direction of Liaoyang, Linnevich was also quite ambitious, hoping to make a good start to his Far Eastern war with a victory.

Although most of the Japanese army had withdrawn, the fortifications that had been built over several months had played a major role, and the Japanese army's will to fight was far stronger than that of the Russian army. Although the Russian army has now gathered nearly 600,000 troops in the Far East, this is only a numerical advantage, and the morale of the Russian army, organization and command, operation and scheduling, logistics supply and other factors have not been significantly improved, as a result, the Russian army has attacked frantically for a day, and has not made any progress, and when an attack retreated, it was chased by the Japanese army and fought a counterattack, which came down all day, with a total of more than 6,000 casualties, and also made the commander of the Russian army, Linnevelin, very annoyed.

However, on the same night, the Japanese army evacuated Shenyang overnight, leaving an empty city to the Russian army, because the Japanese army was worried that the People's Army would take advantage of the situation and seize Shenyang, so it also released two captured Russian officers to tell the Russian army to let the Russian army occupy Shenyang as soon as possible, and not let Shenyang fall into the hands of the People's Army, as a result, at 6 o'clock in the morning, the Russian army finally entered Shenyang City after a lapse of more than 3 months, and also found a part of the materials that the Japanese army did not have time to transport away in the city.

This unexpected joy also made Linevich very happy, so he immediately sent good news to Russia, claiming that the Russian army had recaptured Shenyang after three days of fierce fighting, annihilated more than 35,000 Japanese troops, captured 12,000 people, and captured a large amount of supplies.

Later, Linnevich sent troops to pursue the Japanese army, on the one hand, the big words were released, and there must always be some tangible results, at least to try to catch a few Japanese soldiers, in case the country sent people to inspect it; on the other hand, it was also to take the opportunity to receive the territory abandoned by the Japanese army after evacuation, so as not to let the People's Army rush to go first, and it can also be reported as a war exploit in the future.

As a result, the Russian army pursued all the way to the Shili River, and the Japanese soldiers did not catch one, but they encountered the People's Army that had already occupied the Shili River.

Although no complete fortifications had been established at this time, the KPA had already set up a position at the Shili River, and set up a cordon at a distance of 1,000 meters from the position, issuing a warning to the Russian army, and once the Russian army crossed the cordon, the KPA would regard it as an act of war and would open fire unceremoniously.

The Russian army has now been beaten by the Japanese army to some psychological shadows, but the Chinese army is still arrogant and domineering, where the People's Army eats this set, and Guan Jian occupies a place where he can rob and make a fortune on the spot. Of course, the top brass of the Russian army has all kinds of means to make money for themselves, but the income of middle- and lower-level officers and ordinary soldiers is mainly maintained by robbery, and the salary of the army is simply not enough, not to mention that even this salary cannot be paid to themselves in full. But in the past nearly one and a half years, the Russian army was beaten by the Japanese army and lost its armor and fled in embarrassment, not to mention looting, many soldiers even lost their daily savings, and now they are finally looking for an opportunity to get back their capital, of course, they don't want to give up.

However, the Russian army is not a brute force without brains, the East China government is not the Qing court, the two sides fought each other five years ago, and the People's Army has been in the war for less than a month, and the Japanese army has been beaten to the ground, of course, the People's Army cannot be underestimated. Of course, the Russian army has a lot of experience in dealing with such a situation, and the commander of the Russian army, Major General Migalovin, ordered the army to cross the cordon and advance about 100 meters.

Although the Russian army crossed the cordon, but did not go deep, generally speaking, in this case, the other side will not open fire immediately, at least will send people to negotiate with the Russian army, and the Russian army can test the other party's bottom line in the process of negotiations, and even let the troops continue to move forward during the negotiations, resulting in the established fact, if the other party's attitude is tough, the Russian army can use this as a condition as a bargaining chip for negotiations, if the other party's attitude is weak, the Russian army can launch an offensive and directly attack the other party. This kind of game on the edge of the cliff, the Russian army has played it perfectly.

But this time the Russian army miscalculated, and the People's Army didn't eat the Russian army's precipice game at all, as long as it crossed the cordon, it would fight, and there was no need to deal with each other at all.

So the mortars in the KPA positions opened fire and launched a bombardment on the Russian army, which immediately killed and wounded the Russian army. The Russian army also did not expect that the People's Army did not follow its own script, and opened fire without even saying hello, and it was all artillery bombardment as soon as it shot, so it was also chaotic, and the Russian army had no intention of attacking the People's Army position, so they immediately retreated.

In fact, the Russian army did not cross the cordon too much, so they soon withdrew from the cordon, but the shelling of the People's Army did not stop, chasing the Russian army and continuing to fight, until the Russian army withdrew more than 2,000 before stopping, and it was this round of shelling that the Russian army's casualties reached more than 500 people.

And the commander of the Russian army, Migalov, was also shocked and anxious, the Russian army has not lost a battle, but it has never suffered such a dumb loss, I didn't expect the People's Army to really fight when it crosses the line. Of course, he could not go back with this loss, and this face had to be regained, so Migalov immediately ordered to launch an attack on the positions of the KPA.

Migalov is not unaware that Russia and the East China government have reached an agreement to demarcate the Shili River, but like the generals of the People's Army, no one in the Russian army takes this agreement seriously, after all, as long as its strength allows, Russia's ambitions will never stop at the Shili River.

And the Russian army launched an attack, and the People's Army naturally would not be polite, all kinds of rifles, machine guns, grenadiers, mortars, and artillery were all fired at full power, and launched a fierce blow to the Russian army. The intensity of firepower was even more dense than that of the Japanese troops who had fought before.

The Russian army was originally pursuing the Japanese army, lightly armed, and did not bring artillery and other heavy weapons at all, so although the KPA did not build a defensive position, it was not something that could be broken by only relying on rifles, not to mention that the Russian army's will to fight was not strong, and the offensive only lasted less than 20 minutes, and it could not withstand the blow of the KPA and retreated.

The People's Army took advantage of the defeat of the Russian army to launch a counter-charge against the Russian army, because the People's Army had mortars to cooperate with the infantry to fight, the Russian army faced such tactics for the first time, and was defeated by the People's Army, and had to retreat to Shenyang, and the army's casualties exceeded 3,000 people, and more than 400 people were captured by the People's Army, and they completely lost the ability to continue to expand southward.

At this point, the Battle of Liaoyang was also over, with a total of 10,537 KPA killed, 19,721 wounded, and 327 missing, while the Japanese army suffered 36,496 killed, 57,523 wounded, and 2,768 missing, of whom 1,912 were captured by the KPA.

Of course, the victory of the People's Army was not reflected in the number of casualties and annihilation of the enemy, and after this battle, the People's Army completely occupied the Liaoyang area, and blocked the Russian army outside the Shili River, so that the Russian army's power could only be limited to the Shenyang area, and connected with the Lushun area, and was completely in the active position on the Liaodong battlefield, while the Japanese army completely lost its foothold on the Liaodong Peninsula and fell into a great predicament.
