At 6 o'clock on the 19th, the 10th Division of the 4th column secretly entered Jiangjiatun in the northwest of Jinxi. At 1300, the 2nd Division suggested to Commander Dong,""If we withdraw from Xingcheng, the enemies in Jinxi and Xingcheng will be united. The 54th Army is very concentrated, and it is not easy for me to surround and attack Xingcheng alone. Therefore, I propose that the 4th column attack the enemies in Shahou and Suizhong first, then take the opportunity to attack Shanhaiguan and Shimen Stronghold in the south to blend in with the battlefield inside the pass. At this time, I estimate that we can also take Yi County. Then, we will return north and cooperate with the troops in the south to cut off the connection between Jinxi and Xingcheng. Then, we will destroy the 54th Army one by one.”In view of the fact that the garrison troops of Jinxi and Xingcheng had already advanced to Baimiaozi and Shahou, and their forces were scattered, the East General Order ordered the 10th Division of the 4th column to set off from the spot and advance to Zhangmatun, Panjiatun (now Panjiawopu), Toutaizi, Ertaizi, and Caotun to the south of Xingcheng to cut off the retreat of the Kuomingtang army. In order to achieve the goal of dividing the 54th Army and annihilating the garrison troops of Xingcheng, he ordered the independent divisions to strictly surround Suizhong and Shahou to prevent the garrison from escaping.
On the 20th, the 10th Division of the 4th column entered the east side of Xingcheng. In order to better complete the interception mission, the 10th Division suggested that it was best to move the 12th Division of the 4th column south to the 10th Division without affecting the attack on Yi County. To this end, the East General Electric Order: The 11th Division of the 4th column from Zhuanchengzi, the 12th Division from Shenjiatai south Xingcheng, to coordinate with the 10th Division to fight. The 10th Division and the 12th Division advanced to Baimiaozi and controlled the railway and position between Baimiaozi and Xingcheng. If the Baimiaozi's Kuomintang-led army went to Shahou, they would advance to Shahou. He ordered the Redong Independent Regiment to rush to Xingcheng and Jinxi on the 21st to carry out a feint attack to coordinate with the 4th column.
On the 21st, the 54th Army of the National Party was concentrated in Jinxi, Xingcheng, Baimiaozi and Shahou. The 4th column went straight to the old gate, the 11th division went to Songlingmen, and the 12th division went to the upper and lower Zuomugou, Gaoheshanggou, 20 kilometers north of Xingcheng. The 4th column asked for instructions: " Because the enemy forces in Xingcheng are relatively large, about two divisions, we can not attack the city for the time being. At present, we must wipe out the scattered enemy forces and attract the enemy forces in Xingcheng to support us from the west. We must strive to destroy the enemy forces while moving, and at the same time create a wide battlefield for the main force in the future." My opinion is that we should go west and wipe out Suizhong, the vanguard, and the front line." In order to attract the Xingcheng Guomindang army to continue south, the 4th column launched the operation of the East General Order. The 8th Independent Division all went south and advanced towards Suizhong. They cooperated with the 4th and 6th Independent Divisions to annihilate the defenders of Suizhong. If they were not sure, they would wait for the main force to arrive before attacking. On the 22nd, the garrison of Shahou realized that the situation was not good and abandoned the defense to escape. The 8th Independent Division immediately pursued to Zhongjiatun. With the cooperation of the 10th Division, the Ministry of the National Army was completely wiped out. The 8th Independent Division also took advantage of the situation to turn towards Suizhong.
Due to the active attack of the three independent divisions of the Jicha ReLiao military area and the Redong military sub-district, it effectively restrained the main force of the Jinxi National Party Army to reinforce Jinzhou. Through the strong cooperation of the encirclement and the obstruction of aid, the National Party Army was mobilized and its forces were dispersed, creating favorable conditions for the complete annihilation of various key points.
In order to support the battle in Jinbei, General Dong ordered that while the 8th and 9th columns annihilated the temporary 22nd division in the north of Jinzhou, the 7th column went south to seize Gaoqiao and Xihaikou to contain the Jinxi garrison and cut off the retreat of the Jinzhou garrison. They seized the Gaoqiao area and cut off the connection between Jinzhou and Jinxi, causing the defense system of the two places to be separated. On the 29th, the 4th column captured Xingcheng, and one of them returned to Gaoqiao to take over the defense of the 7th column. The 7th column moved to the south of Jinzhou, ready to attack Jinzhou.
