Further battles of Siping[edit]

It seems there were further battles for possession of Siping and apparently the Nationalists retook it in May 1946, according to David Tenner in Google Group 'soc.history.what-if'^[1], who also quotes some further sources:

"I have recently been reading "Marshall's Mission in the Context of U.S.S.R.-China-U.S. Relations" by Andrei M. Ledovsky (historian and former Soviet diplomat). http://www.marshallfoundation.org/pdf/19Ledovsky--Soviet-China-US%20r... Anyway, Ledovsky discusses one of Marshall's most controverisal decisions: 'Why Did Marshall Keep Chiang Kai-shek from Marching to Harbin After the Victorious Battle for Siping?' In his paper 'Chiang Kai-shek and Marshall: The Catastrophes of Szepingchieh'[Siping], presented at a symposium in Taipei, Professor Donald Gillin of Vassar College reproached Marshall for allegedly keeping Chiang Kai-shek from following up the victory in the Siping battle of May 1946 by proceeding to Harbin and defeating the remaining Communist troops there. ..."
