Further battles of Siping
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', 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. ..."
