Chen Hanzhang's troops were divided into two routes after forcibly crossing the Liao River on the three boats and the Gongzhutun line. All the way, Sui Changqing commanded an attack and advance in the direction of Xinmin, penetrated directly into the flank of the Fifth Army of the Kwantung Army, and cut off the route of the Fifth Army to return to Shenyang and reinforce the 30th Army. Ensure that the main force completes the encirclement of the 30th Army and captures the city of Shenyang, the center of South Manchuria.

All the way, he personally commanded the direct insertion of Hushitai and Xinchengzi, and cooperated with Du Kaishan of the Eastern Front Corps to complete the encirclement of the entire north of Shenyang and the heavy Japanese army cluster. After arriving at the front line of Hushitai, Chen Hanzhang personally deployed, with Mu Changqiu commanding two infantry divisions, plus the main force of the fourth armored division, to attack Shenyang City at full speed.

Compared with Chen Hanzhang's department, which advanced at high speed, Du Kaishan of the Eastern Front Corps was after departure. However, it encountered the stubborn resistance of the 44th Army, which was held together by Yoshio Hongo, who reinforced a part of an independent mixed brigade and set up positions along the mountainous area along the line of Chaihe Fort.

Frontal assault of troops along the medium-long railway, since heavy artillery moved too slowly under mountainous terrain. Although there were several hard battles, the progress was minimal under the situation that the enemy army relied on a large number of permanent fortifications and stubbornly resisted. This result directly affected the flanks, and the interspersed route of Du Kaishan formed an obstruction on the first line of Chaihe Fort.

Along the Xifeng-Shenyang highway, it is the most important passage in the eastern mountainous area of the entire Zhongchang Railway. Although Chaihe Fort is inferior to Weiyuan Fort in the original defense system of the Japanese army, at present, this small mountain village, which is the eastern gateway of Tieling, is just at the key node on this line.

After Yoshio Hongo abandoned the Weiyuan Fort line, this was the only barrier for the 44th Army to contain this road, and the barrier to ensure the safety of the eastern front of Tieling. The Japanese army gave up the line from Diaopitun to Weiyuan, and turned to Chaihe Fort, which made Du Kaishan's interspersed speed slow down all of a sudden.

Du Kaishan did not expect Lieutenant General Yoshio Hongo's reaction to be so rapid. After losing the first line of Shangyang Fort, instead of making any counterattack, he took the initiative to abandon Weiyuan Fort and Diaopitun on both wings. Adopting the tactic of relying on the terrain to resist with one part of the force, and the main force taking cover alternately, the whole army directly withdrew to the direction of Zhonggu and Chaihebao in the second-line position.

The entire attack route of the Eastern Front Corps was basically located in the hilly area east of the Zhongchang Railway, and the terrain was far more complex than that of the Western Front Corps. This mountain road from Xifeng to Shenyang was the most important offensive route for his attacking troops. It is also the best route for him to implement the operational plan of the headquarters.

After the first line of Shangyang Fort was taken, he thought that the Japanese army would stubbornly defend the key points at the junction of Kaiyuan, Xifeng, and Changtu, and contain the Anti-Japanese Union from attacking Kaiyuan, an important town of the Zhongchang Railway, from the Kou River Valley, which is the eastern barrier of the entire Kaiyuan, and Weiyuan Fort, which is only more than 20 kilometers away from Kaiyuan New Town. He can bypass it to the east of Weiyuan and use the gap in the first line of Shangyang Fort opened by the frontal assault force to advance quickly.

However, Hongo Yoshio's sudden retreat on all fronts frustrated all his tactical plans. The enemy army is stuck on the first line of Chaihe Fort, in the end, Du Kaishan, who has a lot of ghost ideas, has retreated to the first line of Zhonggu to Chaihe Fort, relying on the mountains of Chaihe Fort, stubborn resistance caused their own circuitous and interspersed route to be blocked.

A forcible attack would only delay time and would affect the strategic planning of the Japanese army north of Shenyang by the headquarters. The high-speed advance of the Western Front Corps has already completed the forced crossing of the Liao River. If there is a battle for each hill on the front line of Chaihe Fort, it will consume a lot of time and affect the entire strategic deployment of the headquarters.

In order to cooperate with the Western Front Corps, the encirclement of the Japanese Third Front Army north of Shenyang was completed as soon as possible. Under the overall situation of the frontal assault being stubbornly resisted by the Japanese army, the attacking troops were not making smooth progress. Du Kaishan decisively adopted the tactic of dividing the troops, and handed over a part of the troops to the command of his deputy Xiong Botao.

With the strength of the first and two infantry divisions of the mountain infantry, they made every effort to entangle the main force of the 44th Army on the line from Chaihebao to Zhonggu. He commanded two armored brigades equipped with T34 tanks and 85-millimeter guns produced by the Anti-Japanese Federation itself, and the main forces of five infantry divisions, carrying only artillery guns of less than 105 millimeters and some trucks.

Bypassing the line of Chaihe Fort, which was heavily fortified by the Japanese army, the mountainous area between the east of Kaiyuan and Fushun was forcibly interspersed. There are no roads to rely on, and the maps are not very accurate. Du Kaishan simply sent scouts and directly invited guides to lead the way in nearby villages.

Two engineer battalions forcibly opened the road, all the way through the mountain road taken by the lumberjacks, and crossed the mountains and mountains through the eight trees, Xiafeidi, and Huangqizhai in the eastern part of the Kaiyuan. Born in the vast forest sea in the eastern mountains of Kaiyuan, he rushed out of a road, and after more than 20 hours of difficult marching, he broke into the Fanhe River valley at the eastern foot of Beidashan Mountain at an altitude of more than 500 meters.

After arriving at the front line of Fu'an Fort, Du Kaishan learned that Chen Hanzhang's main force had completed the seizure of the first line of Hushitai. After a short period of thought, he thought that it was no longer meaningful for his whole army to go south at this time. reported and got Yang Zhen's approval, and changed his plan to go south to Hushitai to join Chen Hanzhang.

He commanded three infantry divisions and one armored brigade to outflank the enemy's rear route from Chaihe Fort to Zhonggu Line from the Van River to the north. Cooperate with the troops fighting head-on with the main force of the 44th Army, and adopt the tactics of flanking from both sides. The 44th Army was encircled in the mountainous area east of the Zhongchang Railway. The focus of the attack was on the Zhonggu Line in order to cut off the connection between the 44th Army and the 30th Army.

The remaining two infantry divisions plus an armored brigade were directly assigned to the command of Chen Hanzhang. After forcibly turning to the direction of Hushitai and Xinchengzi along the Fan River through Yantou Mountain, he simply ignored the resistance of some Japanese troops along the way. At full speed, it quickly interspersed in the direction of Hushitai and Xinchengzi, and joined Chen Hanzhang's Western Front Corps.

Although it is in the eastern mountainous area of the Zhongchang Railway, it has been delayed for a while because of the opening of a road in the forest. But his troops were interspersed with marches, because they were in areas of weak strength behind the Forty-fourth Army. Again, with tanks as the forerunner, he did not entangle with small Japanese troops along the way. Therefore, the speed was quite fast, only twelve hours later than Chen Hanzhang's Western Front Corps, which arrived at the front line of Xinchengzi.

The battle lasted until noon on 26 October, when the two divisions and an armored brigade rushed to the front line of Qipan Mountain west of Xinchengzi. The last gap in the entire battlefield north of Shenyang was also completely closed. The success of the successive assaults of the Anti-Japanese Federation in Hushitai and Xinchengzi indicates that the Japanese troops along the Zhongchang Railway in the north of Shenyang and south of Changtu have fallen into the encirclement of the East and West Roads of the Anti-Japanese Union.

At this time, Chen Hanzhang commanded the corps of the Western Front, as early as the first time to seize Hushitai, and did not wait for Du Kaishan's Eastern Front to arrive in a roundabout way. Although the forces in his hands were slightly weak, the troops in his hands who were not subject to the counterattack had already taken the 1st Armored Division as the lead, and advanced along the Zhongchang Railway in the direction of Tieling, and forcibly attacked the line of Ranshi Mountain and Deshengtai.

After receiving Yang Zhen's latest order and the arrival of Du Kaishan's troops, although there was only one infantry division and one armored division in his hands at the moment. But Chen Hanzhang still did not hesitate at all, and ordered these two divisions plus an armored brigade to immediately go south at full speed under the command of Sui Changqing. Prepare for the rescue operations that the Japanese army in southern Liaoning and other directions in central Liaoning may take to the urban area of Shenyang.

Chen Hanzhang's onslaught on the back and flanks sharply deteriorated the situation of the Japanese 30th Army, which was already barely supporting the troops under the continuous attack. The heavy equipment of Du Kaishan's department was lost to the north of Chaihe Fort. But Chen Hanzhang's Western Front Corps, except for the Liao River, there was almost no natural danger along the way. Not only did all the artillery come with it, but it also brought a Soviet-made 203 heavy howitzer company.

And Qing Shui Rule's counterattack, although it barely blocked Yang Zhen's mechanized cavalry cluster interspersed in the direction of Tieling, temporarily ensured that the connection between the 30th Army and the 44th Army was not severed. However, in order to stop the multi-way interspersed attack of the frontal anti-coalition forces, as well as the interspersing of this force, Qing Shui Gui has used almost all the forces at hand.

In the direction of Hushitai behind it, except for some military station garrisons, there are no formed Japanese troops. Chen Hanzhang's interspersed addition, as well as the onslaught led by tanks under the full cover of artillery, became the last straw that broke the rules of Qingshui.

Chen Hanzhang, who attacked the 30th Army from the back and the left flank, after the main force went north from Xinchengzi, directly inserted into Deshengtai and approached Tieling County. Before Chen Hanzhang crossed the Liao River, a division left on the spot to advance eastward from the front line of Niangniangmiao, and with the cooperation of an independent tank regiment, forcibly launched an attack from the flank to the east. In conjunction with the fierce battle with the main force of the 30th Army, the operation of the cavalry mechanized cluster that was forcibly interspersed from Jinjiatun to the direction of Tieling.

Under the command of division commander Ma Chunsheng, the division successively broke through the three lines of defense of the Japanese army between Niangniang Temple and Pingdingbao, and hit the area of less than 5 kilometers in one fell swoop in the direction of blocking and penetrating the Japanese troops in the flank and rear direction. There is a Liao River left between the two armies, which can be regarded as a natural dividing line.

After Chen Hanzhang also turned around and stormed, the siege on three sides threw the entire front of the 30th Army into chaos, and the guns and cannons of the fierce battle between the three troops and the Japanese army were clearly audible to each other. The two successive battles from the second half of '42 and '43 to the beginning of '44 have made the large corps of the Anti-Japanese Union attack with armored clusters and its training more and more mature. Under the cover of the armored forces, the troops advanced quite quickly.

Despite the command of the 30th Army under the command of Shimizu Rules, the resistance was unusually stubborn. However, in the face of the offensive of the mechanized cluster of anti-United tank tanks, as well as the overall situation of being attacked by the enemy on the back and besieged on three sides. Let Lieutenant General Qing Shui and his 30th Army be left and right, it is becoming more and more difficult to support, and the entire defense area is washed to pieces.

After Chen Hanzhang completed the U-turn, the corps under the personal command of Yang Zhen, who launched a frontal assault, also successively cleared the remnants of the Japanese army west of the entire Changtu and Kaiyuan Zhongchang Railway, and was moving south at full speed along the Zhongchang Railway. And a part of the troops, mainly heavy artillery units, converged with the troops commanded by Xiong Botao to launch an attack in the direction of Zhonggu.

By this time, Yang Zhen assigned all the battlefields west of the Zhongchang Railway, including the frontal Jinjiatun and Manjing front-line troops, to the command of Chen Hanzhang. At the same time, the entire central Liaoning region, including Shenyang, was also placed under the command of Chen Hanzhang. As for Du Kaishan, Yang Zhen also assigned the two divisions that were attacking head-on to him, and asked him to concentrate on dealing with the 44th Army west of the Zhongchang Railway.

The front fingers led by Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun completely broke away to deal with the entire South Manchurian war. In this battle, the entire attack line was hundreds of kilometers long from east to west, and the paving was a little too big for the Anti-United Nations. It is impossible for Yang Zhen to focus on one battlefield for a long time.

Yang Zhen decided to cooperate with Guo Bingxun in the division of labor, and one of the two was responsible for coordinating the entire Western Theater, including the Liaozhong Theater. One person was responsible for coordinating the Liaodong and Korean battlefields. As for the post of chief of staff, President Lin, who was obviously very interested in the tactics and tactics of the anti-coalition in this battle, volunteered to take over the job temporarily.

For Mr. Lin's volunteering, Yang Zhen, who knew a little about his thoughts, had no excuses, and nodded happily in agreement. And let a future marshal be his chief of staff, although it was only temporary, but Yang Zhen also felt some excitement in his heart.
