That night, all the Japanese army withdrew from Liaoyang City overnight. Although the People's Army did not attack Liaoyang City, they were always closely monitoring the movements of Liaoyang City. Therefore, the People's Army had learned that the Japanese army retreated from Liaoyang City. However, in order to avoid the troubles, the People's Army did not take advantage of the situation to launch an attack. Instead, after the Japanese army withdrew from Liaoyang City, they immediately entered Liaoyang City and took over everything left by the Japanese army. The two armies came and went out and entered, and the difference was less than half an hour, completing the change of hands of Liaoyang City.

At 1 a.m., the People's Army had completely controlled Liaoyang City. Fortunately, when the Japanese evacuated from Liaoyang, they released all the arrested residents. In addition, when the Japanese evacuated, they left a large amount of ammunition and medicine in Liaoyang, which became the spoils of the People's Army.

After the 4th Army attacked Zhang Taizi, they immediately sent two divisions to the north. At about 3 a.m., they occupied Shilihe and immediately launched defense. The 3rd Army also successfully occupied Anshan at this time and received a new order from the command center to go south along the Anda Line to open up the connection between Liaoyang and Lushun, and allow the Liaoyang-Lushun section of the Anda Line to be opened to traffic.

Opening up the railway line is of great significance in modern warfare and can ensure the supply of materials. Although geography is that western Liaoning is closer to Liaoyang, it is blocked from the Liaohe River and the railway line cannot extend to Liaoyang, so it is even 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 Anda Line is opened, the armored train will be able to arrive at Liaoyang within two days, which is naturally a powerful fire support to Liaoyang. Although the People's Army has forced the Japanese army to evacuate Liaoyang, it has faced another enemy, the Russian army, directly facing it. After losing the common enemy of both sides, the People's Army and the Russian army may turn against each other at any time. An armored train is not only two large-caliber heavy artillery, but also dozens of other caliber artillery pieces such as 155mm, 125mm, 105mm, 75mm, and other caliber artillery pieces, and its combat is at least equivalent to two artillery regiments.

Just after 10 a.m. the next day, the Russian army appeared outside the Shilihe River and finally officially contacted the People's Army.

Although the Russian army did not dare to get too close to Shenyang, they were always paying attention to the trends of the Japanese army in Shenyang. After reaching an agreement with the East China government with Shilihe as the boundary, the Russian army gradually increased its troops to Shenyang. Just when the People's Army was attacking Liaoyang, the Russian army had assembled nearly 200,000 troops in the northern part of Shenyang. At this time, the Japanese army had withdrawn most of the troops from Shenyang, so the Russian army finally mustered up the courage to attack Shenyang.

Since this was also the first battle after Linevic, the new commander of the Far East Army and the governor of the Far East, who succeeded Kurtkin, took office, and at this time, the Japanese troops stationed in Shenyang were less than 80,000, and they were still attacked by the People's Army in the direction of Liaoyang, Linevic was also quite confident and hoped to make a good start for his Far East war with a victory.

Although most of the Japanese army had withdrawn, the fortifications built over several months played a big role, and the Japanese army's fighting will was far stronger than the Russian army. Although the Russian army has now gathered nearly 600,000 troops in the Far East, this is just a digital advantage. The Russian army's morale, organizational command, operation and dispatch, logistics supply and other factors have not been significantly improved. As a result, the Russian army attacked wildly for a day without any progress. Moreover, during an attack retreat, it was chased by the Japanese army and fought a counterattack. Over the whole day, more than 6,000 casualties were killed and killed, which also annoyed the Russian commander Linneverin.

However, that night, the Japanese army evacuated Chenyang overnight and left an empty city to the Russian army. Because the Japanese army was worried that the People's Army would take advantage of the opportunity to seize Chenyang, they also released two captured Russian officers and told the Russian army that the Russian army would occupy Chenyang as soon as possible and not let Chenyang fall into the hands of the People's Army. As a result, at 6 o'clock in the morning, the Russian army finally entered Chenyang City after more than three months, and found some materials that the Japanese army had not had time to transport away.

This unexpected joy also made Linevic extremely happy, so he immediately sent a good news to Russia, claiming that after three days of fierce fighting, the Russian army regained Chenyang, annihilated more than 35,000 Japanese troops, captured 12,000 people, and seized a large amount of supplies, etc.

Then, Linevich sent troops to pursue the Japanese army. On the one hand, the big talk was released, and there must be some substantial results. At least, we must try to capture a few Japanese soldiers to make up for the number of them. If people are sent to inspect in the country, we will also take the opportunity to take over the territory that the Japanese army will give up after evacuation. Don’t let the People’s Army take the lead, and we can also report it as a military merit in the future.

As a result, the Russian army pursued Shilihe. The Japanese soldiers did not chase after one of them, but encountered the People's Army that had occupied Shilihe.

Although a perfect fortification was not established at this time, the People's Army had arranged positions in Shilihe and set up a cordon at a distance of 1,000 meters from the position to warn the Russian army. Once the Russian army crossed the cordon, the People's Army would consider it an act of war and would open fire without hesitation.

The Russian army has now been beaten by the Japanese army, but it is still arrogant and arrogant towards the Chinese army. It is so arrogant that Guan Jian can rob and make a fortune on the spot. Of course, the top leaders of the Russian army have various 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 not enough. Moreover, even this salary cannot be paid to them in full. But in the past one and a half years, the Russian army was beaten by the Japanese army and fled in a panic. Not to mention robbery, many soldiers even lost their daily savings. Now they have finally found a chance to get their money back, and of course they don’t want to give up.

However, the Russian army is not a blind reckless person. The East China government was not the Qing court. The two sides fought five years ago. Moreover, the People's Army had fought less than a month ago. It was defeated by the Japanese army in less than a month. Of course, the Russian army had rich experience in dealing with such a situation. Major General Mikalovin, the commander of the Russian army, ordered the army to cross the cordon and advanced about 100 meters forward.

Although the Russian army crossed the cordon, it did not go deeper. Generally speaking, in this case, the other party would not open fire immediately. At least they would send people to negotiate with the Russian army first. The Russian army could test the other party's bottom line during the negotiation process, and would let the troops continue to advance during the negotiation period to create a certain fact. If the other party's attitude is tough, the Russian army can use this as a bargaining chip for negotiation. If the other party's attitude is weak, the Russian army can launch an attack and directly attack the other party. This cliff edge game, the Russian army has been perfect.

But this time the Russian army miscalculated. The People's Army did not take any cliff edge game in the Russian army. As long as they passed the cordon, they would fight, and there was no need to communicate with them.

So the mortars in the People's Army's positions opened fire and bombarded the Russian army, which immediately caused casualties and injuries. The Russian army did not expect that the People's Army did not follow its own script, and opened fire without even calling, and when they took action, they were all bombarded, so it became chaotic. Moreover, the Russian army had no plans to attack the People's Army's positions and immediately retreated one after another.

In fact, the Russian army did not cross too many cordons, so they quickly withdrew from the cordons. However, the People's Army's artillery bombardment did not stop and chased the Russian army and continued to fight. It was not until the Russian army withdrew more than 2,000. It was this round of artillery that caused more than 500 casualties to the Russian army.

The commander of the Russian army, Migalov, was also shocked and anxious. The Russian army had not been defeated, but he had never suffered such a loss. Unexpectedly, the People's Army really fought after crossing the line. Of course, he could not suffer this loss and he had to get back. This face must be recovered. Therefore, Migalov immediately ordered an attack on the People's Army's positions.

It is not that Migalov did not know that Russia and the East China government reached an agreement with Shilihe as the boundary, but like the generals of the People's Army, no one in the Russian army took this agreement seriously. After all, as long as strength permits, Russia's ambitions will never stop at Shilihe.

When the Russian army launched an attack, the People's Army would naturally not be polite. All kinds of rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars, and artillery were all fire-powered and launched a fierce attack on the Russian army. The firepower was so dense that it was even more intense than the Japanese army that had fought against them before.

The Russian army was originally pursuing the Japanese army, and they went into battle lightly, without any heavy weapons such as artillery. Therefore, although the People's Army did not build a defensive position, they could not break through with only rifles. Moreover, the Russian army's fighting will is not strong. The attack lasted for less than 20 minutes, but it could not withstand the attack of the People's Army and retreated.

The People's Army took advantage of the Russian army's retreat and launched a counter-charge against the Russian army. Because the People's Army had mortars and infantry combat, it was the first time that the Russian army faced such tactics. As a result, they were defeated by the People's Army and had to retreat to Shenyang. The number of casualties in the army exceeded 3,000, and more than 400 were captured by the People's Army, and they completely lost the ability to continue to expand south.

At this point, the Liaoyang Battle was all over. The People's Army killed a total of 10,537 people, injured 19,721 people and disappeared 327 people; while the Japanese army was killed 36,496 people, injured 57,523 people and disappeared 2,768 people, of which 1,912 were captured by the People's Army.
