Jinxi, Xingcheng, and Suizhong were the three important towns on the Beining Line. They were connected to Jinzhou in the north and Shanhaiguan in the south. They were the key areas guarded by the Guomindang along the Beining Line. Huludao Port on the east side of Jinxi was an important seaport and sea passage for the Guomindang Army in Northeast China. Jinxi was guarded by the 54th Army of the Guomindang Army, which could provide support to Jinzhou at any time. At the same time, it became the support of Xingcheng and Suizhong. The three places supported each other and joined together to protect the Beining Line. General Manager Dong decided to cut off the Beining Line and attack Yi County. At the same time, he would use active means to control the three places, restrain the Jinxi garrison, weaken the effective strength of the area, and create the conditions for the final capture of the three places. At 20:00 on September 8, the 2nd Corps launched an offensive operation against the three places according to the overall deployment of the East General. They ordered the 4th, 6th and 8th Divisions of the Jicha ReLiao Military Area to complete the encirclement of Xingcheng and Suizhong before 12:00 on the 12th. The 8th Independent Division surrounded Xingcheng. Two of its regiments surrounded the city, and one regiment was deployed in the northeast mountain to prevent a breakthrough. The 4th Independent Division surrounded Suizhong with one regiment and two regiments to the southwest of the city to block the reinforcements and prevent them from breaking through. The 6th Independent Division was tasked with blocking Jinxi's reinforcements. The main force was placed in the area of Daying Changtun and Tianjiatun in the northwest of Xingcheng. One controlled Lazi Mountain and Ganchai Ridge, and broke the Hanjiagou railway. The Artillery Brigade advanced to the front line of Nanmeili Camp in Jianchang, and the 4 battalions and 1 detachment of the Redong Army Division moved toward Jinxi.
Jinxi had the main force of the 54th army and the temporary 62nd division of the Kuomingtang. Two regiments of the 9th division were stationed in Xingcheng, Baimiaozi and Shahou, and one regiment was stationed in Xingcheng. Along the line from Suizhong to Qiansuo, the original 50 divisions of the Kuomintangs were temporarily stationed. On September 6, the garrison was temporarily changed to 60 divisions. The first regiment of the division was stationed in the rear, the second regiment was stationed in Suizhong, and the third regiment was stationed in the vanguard and the front.
At 4 o'clock on the 12th, the 6th Independent Division of Jicha Re-Liao Military Area occupied Ganchai Ridge and Lazi Mountain northeast of Xingcheng. At 13:00, about one regiment of the 54th Army of the National Party attacked from Jinxi. After a fierce battle, the 16th and 17th regiments of the 6th Independent Division captured more than 80 members of the National Party Army and killed more than 200 people. The 8th Independent Division encountered the security team on the way, captured more than 30 security team members, and then occupied the 78th highland of Shoushan Valley, wiping out the 3rd Company of the 22nd Regiment of the 8th Division of the Kuomingtang Army. The 4th Independent Division surrounded Suizhong and captured the wasteland with two companies. They wiped out a platoon of 60 divisions, 6 companies and captured 38 people.
On that day, the independent divisions had completed their encirclement of Xingcheng and Suizhong. In the evening, two independent regiments from the Redong Military Division launched an attack on Sierbao in the northwest of Jinxi to coordinate with the independent division.
