I’m looking for some docs which can describe more this story. Already got this
REPORT OF THE HEAD OF STAFF OF THE 6TH GUARD TANK ARMY
TO THE COMMANDER OF THE ARMY ABOUT THE ARRIVAL OF THE ESHOLON OF
SOLDIERS AND OFFICERS OF THE 8TH CHINESE PEOPLE’S ARMY IN MUKDEN
September 6, 1945.
11.00
At 9.30 a.m. on 6.9.45 a.m., an echelon of up to 2,000 soldiers and officers arrived at Mukden Station,
calling themselves the advance detachment of the 8th Zhu De Chinese People’s Army. The
head of the train has no documents, except for the following note
in Russian:
"I hereby request an owl. The troops will assist [in] the movement of the advance
detachment of the 8th Chinese People’s Army along the Jinzhou—Mukden railway.
Commandant of the Jinzhou Station
Senior Lieutenant
ISignature illegible]
5.9.45"
We have not allowed the unloading of the train, and the unit continues to stay in the cars.
This has been reported to Zakharov.
(But later a permission to load out was given)

Bro, the books I ordered have arrived! I’m going to dive into them too! Hoping to find some interesting details about equipment and campaign history, haha. This topic really feels like our own little public-private chat—seems like not many others are as invested in it.

These re some interesting photo. I have also found the source you mentioned referring to the “Eighth Route Army.” However, in my view, this unit should be the Korean Volunteer Army (朝鲜义勇军/조선의용군).
Please note the flag they are carrying: although part of it is obscured, I am quite certain that it is the Taegukgi, which at that time functioned as a shared national symbol used by both Korean factions.
To a certain extent, referring to them as part of the Eighth Route Army is not wrong. A significant number of members of the Korean Volunteer Army directly joined the Chinese Communist Party and were under the direct command of Yan’an. They were incorporated into the Eighth Route Army’s operational structure and participated in combat as part of its fighting forces.
After the liberation of Manchuria in 1945, they proceeded to Northeast China in accordance with instructions from Yan’an and made contact with the Soviet Army.

Just found another photo of the Korean Volunteer Army, in which the following text is written in Chinese: “The Chinese and Korean peoples unite to fight against the Japanese bandits — Declare by the Korean Volunteer Army.”

Found in a book also - Zen Kalin write that they had a company or battalion of Korean volunteers. Thx so much for a whole book! If you have something close to a Shenguang liberation, entire Liaouan province (including Xian) - it will help so much! 
Report to Comrade Stalin
There are also several thousand NRA soldiers in the areas of Mukden, Wensong, Yingkou, Liaoyang, Liaozhou, and other locations.

Wait… “Shenguang liberation”? I dont really get “SHENGUANG”, you mean “Shenyang” ?
And “Xian” (Xi’an city is in the middle west of China), i guess maybe you wanna say “Xing’an(ling)”(mountain), right?

So there re another two books, first one called " 中国共产党援助朝鲜独立运动纪事 1921-1945 (Chronicle of the Chinese Communist Party’s Assistance to the Korean Independence Movement)" is available on Z-lib.
The second one called " 朝鲜义勇军抗日战史 " (History of the Korean Volunteer Army’s War Against Japanese Aggression) ,also on Z-lib.
They contained the records and related documents detailing the specific activities of the Korean Volunteer Army in Northeast China. Unfortunately, these two books re only available as photocopy edition, so you can only read them through image translation.
