 Three days later on September 17, 1947, the expected renewed nationalist attack resumed as the nationalist 49th Army begun its push toward Jianchang from Jinzhou.When the nationalist 49th Army reached Yang’s Family’s Pole (Yangjia Zhangzi), it was surrounded by the waiting communist 8th Column and the 1st Independent Division.The nationalists sent out two brigades totaling six regiments to reinforce their besieged 49th Army, but they were stopped by the communist 24th Division of the 8th Column and the communist 26th Division of the 9th Column at the region of Hongluojian , west of Jinxi and the region of Senior Border (Lao Bian), northwest of Jinxi.
