After Liu Yimin led the main force to leave Pulandian by car, he quickly marched north along the highway. When they arrived in Anshan, Zhao Dahe, commander of the armored brigade, commanded the troops to take the lead in entering the city. Immediately afterwards, the 1st Column, 1st Brigade, 2nd Brigade, and Heavy Machine Gun Brigade Heavy Machine Gun Regiment swarmed in and quickly took control of Anshan.

At this time, the news of the Eighth Route Army's attack on the Jinzhou Railway Station, Dalian Railway Station, and Lushun Railway Station had not yet reached Anshan, and the 6th Brigade of the 1st Independent Garrison of the Japanese Kwantung Defense Army stationed in Anshan and the Fengtian Regional Garrison Command of the Puppet Manchurian Defense Army were mixed into the 6th Brigade and Regiment, and they all stayed in their respective barracks as they did on weekdays. The Eighth Route Army's divine soldiers descended from the sky, and the Japanese puppet police patrolling the streets of Anshan thought that a large army of the Kwantung Army was passing through Anshan, and they were killed or disarmed before they even had time to report to the authorities. The Japanese puppet army that was blocked in the barracks by the Eighth Route Army did not even have the slightest psychological preparation, and the tanks and armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army rumbled into the door, and the mountain guns on the vehicles were slammed, and bullets were being poured out, no matter how well the little devils and the puppet Manchu army were trained and equipped, it was useless, their ammunition was still in the warehouse, and many people were running around like rabbits being hunted down, except for the surrender of the garrison. It can only be a dead word!

The most ridiculous thing is the mayor of Anshan, Mie Noo, this guy went to Anshan Showa Steel Works to visit the president of Takuo Wudo. When the soldiers rushed into Takao Wudo's office, Mie Noo slapped the table at the soldiers in Japanese uniforms, and said in Japanese that he was the director of the local affairs department of the "Mantetsu Anshan Annex", and that he became the mayor of Anshan after the establishment of the city. Could it be that the Kwantung Army has forgotten where the rifle in its hand is made of steel? It's the ultimate baga!

The answer to Mie Noo was a few fierce rifle butts, knocking the old devil to the ground, knocking out his front teeth.

Anshan, like Dalian and Shenyang, is the three most important targets that the Eighth Route Army must occupy first when it marches into the Northeast!

Anshan at this time. It is already a veritable steel city, and the Anshan Showa Steel Works opened by Manchurian Railway has merged with the original Anshan Iron Works and Zhenxing Company, forming a continuous production operation system of mining, mineral processing, ironmaking, and steel rolling. In 1941, Anshan Showa Steel produced 2.5 million tons of iron, 1.3 million tons of ingots, and 750,000 tons of steel. It accounts for 28.4% of the total steel production capacity controlled by Japan. The scale is second only to the Hachiman Iron Works in Kyushu.

Due to the continuous expansion of Anshan Showa Steelworks, the population of Anshan has increased from 86,000 to 300,000 in just over four years. The urban area was expanded to 123.3 square kilometers.

The occupation of Anshan and the guarantee of normal production of the Anshan Showa Steel Works will ensure the foundation for our army's large-scale development of the military industry in northeast China, and there will be a material basis for the production of weapons and ammunition, as well as the production of aircraft, warships, automobiles, and tanks.

Liu Yimin left the commander of the engineer brigade, Ren Chaoran, and the political commissar Li Zengyu to lead the first engineer regiment to garrison Anshan. Waiting for the cavalry brigade, artillery brigade, and air defense brigade, he himself led the main force to continue to advance. As a result, when I arrived in Liaoyang. The little devils in Liaoyang finally learned the news that the Eighth Route Army had attacked and occupied Jinzhou, Dalian Railway Station and Lushun Railway Station, and was urgently deploying defenses. This discovery of a large convoy drove straight along the road, and the little devil immediately realized that the main force of the Eighth Route Army, which was disguised as the Japanese army, had arrived, and he actually opened it to block it.

Before the 17th century, Liaoyang was the political, economic and cultural center of Northeast China. After the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Liaoyang's position as the center of the northeast was replaced by the rise of Shenyang. However, Liaoyang is the southern gate of Shenyang, and its strategic location is extremely important. During the Russo-Japanese War, the two invaders fought a battle of Liaoyang here, which ended in the defeat of the Russian army. At this time, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army had already failed, and the Anti-Japanese Federation had also been reduced to zero, and the Northeast had become the real rear of the Japanese army, like an iron bucket of domination. No matter how important Liaoyang's strategic position is, it is not as good as Shanhaiguan and Lushun Fortress, so the Japanese army will operate Liaoyang as the hinterland of Northeast China, and Liaoyang will be established as early as 1937? city, which is built in accordance with the modern city. As a result, the 1st Independent Garrison of the Kwantung Defense Army of the Japanese Army, which was responsible for the defense of the Mukden area, had only one 5th Brigade in the Liaoyang area, and the headquarters of the mixed 6th Brigade of the Mukden Regional Garrison Command of the Puppet Manchurian Wehrmacht was also located here.

In the Battle of Liaoyang in the Russo-Japanese War, the Russian army concentrated its troops in the Liaoyang area and laid out three lines of defense, and the Japanese army concentrated the second and fourth armies to break through. During the 19-day fierce battle, Japan and Russia treated the captured prisoners generously and released them in time, but they were not polite to the Chinese. Wherever the Japanese and Russian invading armies passed, they burned houses, killed people, robbed things, robbed money, and raped women. Now, it's the turn of the Japanese puppet army to be unlucky!

After occupying Anshan, Liu Yimin's original plan was not to capture Liaoyang and drive straight into Shenyang. The enemy of Liaoyang was left to the cavalry brigade that arrived later to clean up. But now the situation has changed, and the Japanese puppet army is actually deploying and blocking attacks, which shows that the Kwantung Defense Army and the Kwantung Army have already determined the intentions of our army. Soon, the main force of the Kwantung Defense Army will come up with reinforcements and arrange a defensive line on the front line of Liaoyang to block our army and buy time for the Japanese army to deploy in Shenyang.

If the main force of the Kwantung Defense Army and the Mukden Regional Garrison Command of the Puppet Manchurian Army can be annihilated in Liaoyang, it will be a surprise!

However, at this time, Li Lingfeng and the others had already occupied the Shenyang Railway Station, and the regiment led by Li Shanzhu had also arrived in Shenyang, and the little devil would definitely order the troops heading to Liaoyang to turn around and withdraw to Shenyang to eliminate the troops that had entered Shenyang. If the main force moves slowly, the main force of the Japanese puppet army will retreat back to Shenyang and sabotage it in desperation, which is not good!

Liu Yimin immediately ordered the heavy machine gun regiment of the main heavy machine gun brigade of the first column to form a battle formation, press up on the whole line, destroy the defenders of Liaoyang in one fell swoop, and quickly pounce on Shenyang.

In fact, without Liu Yimin's order, the two armored regiments of the armored brigade serving as the vanguard had already begun to form a formation, and the commander of the armored brigade, Zhao Dahe, showed half of his body from the tank, held a telescope to observe the positions of the Japanese puppet army that had not yet been built, and issued an order through the vehicle-mounted radio to command the assault of the whole brigade.

After the end of the Japanese-Soviet War, the main force was still stationed in the Far East and Mongolia, and the support troops were also stationed in Heilongjiang and Jilin. This is even more true of the puppet Manchu army, no matter how well trained it is, it is also a light infantry unit, and when it encounters the armored group of the Eighth Route Army, it can't run!

The 5th Brigade of the 1st Independent Garrison of the Japanese Army did not escape, nor did the 6th Brigade of the Puppet Manchurian Army, but fought very fiercely, trying to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army with the help of Type 92 heavy machine guns, Type 92 infantry guns, grenadiers and poison gas bombs.

Two armored regiments and 2,000 vehicles were deployed in front of the Japanese defense line, and it was a torrent of steel that had burst the embankment, how could a mere Japanese infantry brigade and two regiments of puppet Manchu troops be able to withstand it?

The tanks were roaring, the armored vehicles were whimpering, and the cars were galloping along the land of Liaoyang, which had just recovered a little bit with the tanks and armored vehicles.

The little devil had four Type 92 infantry guns in an infantry brigade, and just before he had time to fire two shells, he was targeted by the tank guns, and before he had time to move his position, he was drowned in the morning fog by the tank guns. There are quite a few mortars of the puppet Manchu army, but they are a bit nonsense when used against tanks, and they have no effect at all. At this point, the swarming armored regiments did not let them go, lined up in a line to attack the advancing tanks, sent shells into the mortar positions, and the mortar positions hastily established by the puppet Manchu army collapsed in an instant.

That's it, Zhao Dahe was still depressed, and kept muttering in his heart: Lao Tzu is here to fight the elite divisions of the Kwantung Army, and dealing with these small units of the Japanese puppet army is a pure waste of time and energy!

There has long been no formed regular army of China in Liaoning, where could the Japanese puppet army think that it was a steel army that was killed at this time! The time was so hurried, the little devil didn't even have the battle defense gun, and he didn't have time to prepare Molotov cocktails. Especially until now, the Japanese army has not seen the armored strength of the squadron, and with such a strong military-industrial capacity, it has not produced a single anti-tank mine. Besides, even if it is produced, it may not be assigned to the garrison that is responsible for the garrison in the hinterland of Manchuria. No, the Japanese puppet army has a strong desire to fight, tenacious will to fight, but there is no means to defeat the enemy, when the Eighth Route Army armored cluster flooded over like a tide, the Japanese puppet army officers and soldiers were desperate, desperately shooting, and even raised grenades to rush up, but it was all in vain, the Eighth Route Army's vehicle-mounted machine guns were impenetrable, and the little devils were shot when they crawled on the ground, let alone stood up.

The battle was fought on the main road from Dalian to Shenyang outside Liaoyang, and the Japanese puppet army had just arrived here when they discovered the enemy's situation, and the fortifications could not be built in a hurry, so they urgently entered the battle. The alluvial plains of the Taizi River and the Hunhe River here are suitable for the movement of mechanized troops, so the battle did not last long, but it was very tragic, and not a single soldier of the Fifth Brigade of the First Independent Garrison of the Japanese Army survived, and the wheels of the Eighth Route Army were stained with blood.
