1948年11月2日,辽沈战役以中国人民解放军的空前胜利宣告结束,解放军从此拥有了稳定的战略后方和一支数量高达百万的强大战略机动力量。此时此刻,共产党人的最佳选择无疑就是迅速将东北野战军开入关内,以决战的方式将平津一带国民党军就地全歼,进而挥师南下,一统大江南北。对于国民党军而言,其唯一的办法就是在东北野战军人关之前,将己方部队撤出华北,转用于其他战场。 On November 2, 1948, the battle of Liaoshen was declared an end to the unprecedented victory of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. The People’s Liberation Army has since possessed a stable strategic rear and a powerful strategic force of up to 1 million in number. At this very moment, the best choice for the Communists is undoubtedly that the Northeast Field Army will be promptly opened into the territory and the Kuomintang troops in Pingjin area will be wiped out altogether in a decisive battle. For the Kuomintang troops, the only way to do this is to withdraw their troops from North China and switch to other battlefields before the Northeast Field Army people pass.
