中国不仅将美国抵御到三八线以南,同时也使苏联看到中国军事力量的不可战胜,从而放弃了在雅尔塔秘密条约中获得的并为蒋介石承认了的在中国东北的铁路和港口利益。此举不仅将中国北方的有效边界——在蒋介石时期一直游移于山海关一线——大幅北推,更重要的是,它也使独立不久的外蒙古通往海参崴和辽东半岛的陆上出海通道从苏联控制区转入中国手中。 Not only did China resist the United States to the south of the 38th parallel, but it also enabled the Soviet Union to see the invincibility of China’s military forces and thus renounced the railway and port interests in the northeastern China that were obtained in the secret Yalta treaty and recognized for Chiang Kai-shek. The move not only pushed the effective frontier in northern China-which had been swimming in the Shanhaikuan line during the Chiang Kai-shek era-and pushed northward, but more importantly, it made the near-by-outer Mongolia’s land-to-sea passage to Vladivostok and Liaodong Peninsula from Soviet control zone into China’s hands.
