The night is dark, and the sound of artillery fire on the southeast bank of the Hun River is still lingering.
At this time, a large group of cavalry galloped out from the south of the city.
Jiang Li still led the 973rd Battalion of his headquarters.
Zhao Tieshu, who was originally stationed at the arsenal, was replaced by someone sent by Huang Xiansheng.
The battle damage was also replenished.
Wang Tiehan had lost the opportunity to blow up the Dandong Railway Bridge and could only go along the way.
Blow up the railway and delay the Japanese army for a certain period of time.
The time for the Korean Japanese army to reinforce to Fengtian can be counted in one slap.
The main force of the Kwantung Army must be defeated before the main force of the Korean Japanese army arrives.
What Fengtian lacks most at the moment is time.
As long as there is enough time, Fengtian's savings and the ordnance in the arsenal can be enough to arm a well-equipped army.
From last night to now, Jiang Li is still racing against time.
Fortunately, before setting off, Jiang Li had already commanded the 7th Brigade to cut the main force of the Kwantung Army into two disconnected parts.
The indiscriminate bombing continued for most of the day, causing the Kwantung Army to suffer heavy casualties under the overwhelming artillery fire, especially They were local soldiers with little combat experience and a small number of rogues, who suffered even greater losses.
If the Kwantung Army's South-Manchuria railway transportation line can be cut off at this time, or even Liaoyang can be captured, and the supply of the main force of the Kwantung Army can be cut off, then it will not be impossible to defeat the Kwantung Army within a few days.
For this reason, Jiang Li personally led the 973 Battalion.
In addition to moving all the Bank of China's banknotes to the Marshal's Mansion and letting Ma Zhuang lead the troops to take care of them, the 973 Battalion's troops were all here.
Mortar.
As for the number of light and heavy machine guns, they are also quite good.
In addition to a company that Huang Xiansheng temporarily strengthened for him, the number of troops in the raid on Liaoyang reached more than 700 people.
There are more than 1,700 horses and more than 50 carriages.
The ammo carried can last a few small skirmishes.
And there is a transportation team behind that is delayed in departure.
Two platoons of soldiers were sent to escort along the route.
Although the Japanese army was coming fiercely, most of Fengtian Province was still dominated by the Northeastern Army at this time.
On the day of the September 18th Incident, all Japanese soldiers in the countryside and police from all over the country were mobilized.
Farther away is the main force of the Independent Third Garrison Brigade that has already occupied Yingkou.
The Third Defense Brigade was not yet taken seriously by Jiang Li at this time, not to mention that the opponent was now far away from Yingkou.
At this time, the journey from Fengtian City to Anshan was basically smooth.
"Team leader, we are not going to seize the Kwantung Army's garrison in Liaoyang.
Why don't we go down and attack Liaoyang?
Instead, we are going to Anshan, which is farther away.
You must know that our time is not as tight as usual."
Xu Sheng was ups and downs. asked on horseback.
"As early as after the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese increased their economic plunder of the Northeast and controlled the coal and iron resources along the South Manchuria Road.
More than 20 years ago, the Japanese took root near the South Manchuria Line.
Among them The two most famous iron ore mines are Benxi and Anshan, namely Tieshishan, Xi'anshan, Donganshan, Dagushan, Cherry Garden, and Guanmenshan.
In more than ten iron mines such as Xiaolingzi and Gongchangling, the Japanese discovered resources such as Dashiqiao magnesite and Yantai clay mines.
The Anshan area was a treasure land for mining and building factories to smelt steel.
After the Fourth Civil Treaty, the Japanese Completely acquired the rights to the Anshan mining area, and then built blast furnaces, open-hearth furnaces, and coke ovens to refine steel.”
"What does the Japanese refining steel have to do with our plan to attack Liaoyang?"
Wang Sanpao also asked in surprise.
"Our main purpose in attacking Liaoyang is to cut off the Japanese army's logistics and supplies.
Most of Liaoyang's military supplies need to be transported from Dalian, Lushun.
The places with the most sufficient transportation capacity on the entire South-Manchuria line are Anshan, Benxi, Fengtian City, and Fushun Coal Mine For the middle Heart.

There are hundreds of thousands of tons of steel to be transported out here every year, which must occupy a lot of trains, and the refined steel is transported back to Japan to build large warships, as well as rifles and cannons.
Let's go to Anshan to intercept it first.
Let’s talk about the car next to it.”
Jiang Li's eyes flashed.
He decided to come to Anshan after cutting off the main force of the Kwantung Army.
Although the time was a bit rushed, he gained a few days after suppressing the Kwantung Army.
In a few days, he could do many things, such as Japan’s future steel base in Anshan.
At the very least, Jiang Li will let Japan's efforts over the past two decades be in vain.
Taking away the Japanese steel industry base in Anshan will make the Japanese occupation of Fengtian pay a greater price in the future.
The elite Kwantung Army, which peaked at more than 800,000 in history, will not be able to grow so quickly.
It is a pity that Wang Tiehan was asked to rush to Dandong with all his strength.
If he knew that the troops on the east side of Yu Zhishan were so ineffective, it would be equally significant to directly eliminate the Japanese mining area in Benxi.
"That's it."
Xu Sheng and others nodded repeatedly.
Zhao Tieshu smiled and said, "The regiment knows a lot.
If it were us, as soon as we heard about the attack on Liaoyang, we would only go to Liaoyang to fight with the Japanese army."
"Our country is too poor.
You will know it when you see more in the future."
Jiang Li shook his head.
For most soldiers in this era, the steelmaking plant is absolutely unfathomable.
Soldiers like Zhao Tieshu Being from a civilian background, he has few opportunities to be exposed to this aspect.
It was already seven hours later when we started from Fengtian City, crossed the Hun River at the ferry at Changtan Town in Liaozhong, and arrived at Gaoshagou Village on the north bank of the Taizi River, at around two o'clock in the morning.
"It's coming, it's coming."
Zhang Xianming, who had been notified in advance, stood up excitedly at the bow of the boat by the river and looked to the north.
However, it was dark at this time, so how could he see what was going on.
Only scattered torches were seen in the distance, like a fire dragon surging.
Along the way, we took some rest in Changtan Town and took a short detour.
Fengtian City is two hundred and dozens of miles away from Anshan.
Horses are not durable.
Even one person and two horses cannot continue to carry out such a long-distance attack.
Herod Jiang Li asked someone to shine the only flashlight he had into the Taizi River three times.
Zhang Xianming also did it several times.
The boats hidden in the river can't wait to row towards the river bank.
"My Majesty, Zhang Xianming, I heard Commander Huang said that he would send troops to attack Liaoyang.
I never thought that Commander Jiang would come in person.
I have been looking forward to it for a long time."
The boat was still nearly two meters away from the shore.
Zhang Xianming jumped ashore quite vigorously and was quite enthusiastic.
Jiang Li came up to the leader and said.
"I also heard from my uncle that Uncle Zhang is a top student of Lu Shi.
But I heard that Uncle Zhang and Uncle Sun went to Benxi and Changli to contact police forces from various places.
How did they end up in Anshan?"
Jiang Li asked.
"It's a long story.
I went to Benxi with Brother Shuzhou at that time.

Later I got the news that my cousin Zhang Hu heard that the Japanese army was attacking Fengtian City and was recruiting troops here in Anshan.
In a short period of time, he recruited more than 500 people. , I split up with Brother Shu Zhou and came to Anshan, preparing to stay with my cousin.
Anshan defeated the Japanese, and then led people north to aid Fengtian City.
Unexpectedly, I received news from Commander Huang that Captain Jiang was coming here.
It was a coincidence.
If not, I don’t know when I would see this.
The biggest contributor to the defense of Fengtian."
Zhang Xianming asked the boatman to dock the ship and told Jiang Li.
"I see.
I heard from my uncle that Uncle Sun's family is full of loyal soldiers who are all anti-Japanese soldiers.
Uncle Zhang's side seems to be not much different.
I wonder where Uncle Zhang's troops are now."
Jiang Li shook hands with Zhang Xianming warmly, the other person was more than ten years older than him. age In terms of friendship with Sun Mingwu and Huang Xiansheng, Jiang Li could only treat him as his elders.
Moreover, Zhang Xianming was able to resolutely fight against Sun Mingwu when Zhang Xueliang implemented non-resistance, which also made Jiang Li more fond of Zhang Xianming
