First, he saw that he was about to change his mind and send a telegram to Changchun. He was anxious and annoyed. He didn't expect that his doubts about how long the red flag could last in Jinggang Mountain would waver again on the eve of the war that would determine the fate of Northeast China. If wavering at the low tide of the revolution could be forgiven, then wavering at the moment of victory was unforgivable. ** He drafted two telegrams in succession, criticizing the wrong idea of returning to Changchun.

In the first telegram, the police said in an unprecedentedly stern tone,"You should take advantage of the fact that the enemy in Changchun has not yet moved out and the enemy in Mukden does not dare to support Jinzhou alone. At this critical moment, concentrate your main forces and quickly take Jinzhou.”

"Now that the attack on Jinzhou has been completed and the 8th and 9th armies on the Jinxi and Luanxian lines have been transferred away, you dare not attack Jinzhou because of a small change in the enemy's situation from Shanhaiguan and the 95th Division from Tianjin to Huludao. You want to go back and attack Changchun. We think this is very inappropriate." "Where is your command center? Your command post should have arrived in the Jinzhou area before the troops (that is, early August) and deployed the attack on Jinzhou as soon as possible. It has been a long time since the troops arrived, and you have not yet arrived. I hope that you will quickly move to the front line of Jinzhou and deploy your troops to attack Jinzhou in order to quickly conquer Jinzhou. If you delay for too long, you will be in danger of being in a passive position.”

In the second telegram, the Tang army seemed to have calmed down and made a profound analysis of the pros and cons of returning to attack Changchun. It pointed out,"We insist that you should not waver in your established policy at all and abandon Jinzhou to attack Changchun. If you take down Changchun first, then attack Liangjin next, not only will Liangjin be harder to fight than now, but the enemy will also be able to reinforce Jinshi, which will pose a greater threat to your attack on Jinshi and the reinforcements." "You should concentrate your energy and strive to take Jinzhou within ten days. You should also concentrate the necessary forces to attack Jinzhou and wipe out 4 - 5 enemy divisions from Jinxi."

After Liu Yalou saw the telegram from the confidential secretary, he habitually spread his hands and said,""You see, we were criticized indeed. Commissar Luo's opinion was correct. Fortunately, we sent another telegram!”

After sending these two telegrams, the police anxiously waited for a reply. "I'm not going to accept the king's orders." He didn't know how the government, who had disagreed with him more than once, would make the next decision. Attacking Jin was a matter of whether the entire strategic intention could be realized, and thus whether the Tang army could occupy the northeast and defeat Jiang Jieshi's army to obtain national power. The opportunity was fleeting, and the police could not help but feel anxious.

In the early morning of the 4th, the police received a telegram from Lin Luoliu at 9 o'clock on the 3rd, saying that he was determined to attack Jin. Only then did they heave a long sigh of relief and relax. He immediately replied to Lin Luoliu and reported to the Northeast Bureau,"Your determination to attack Jinzhou is very good and comforting.”"All the differences between us and you before this are now gone. I hope that you will follow the arrangements you made at 9:00 on the 3rd, boldly let go and persist in implementing them, and strive to conquer Jinzhou first before attacking Jinxi."

At that time, although the Tang army was somewhat unhappy with Luo Rongheng's criticism and actions, they still carried out the instructions of the Tang army and resolutely attacked Jinzhou. Luo Rongheng was a very kind person. When he saw that the police had made up his mind, he said to the police,"At this critical moment, we can only resolutely follow Leader Mao's instructions to fight this unprecedented decisive battle in the northeast.”** He nodded repeatedly. He was completely moved by Luo Rongheng's sincere and principled attitude. He ordered Liu Yalou,"Chief of Staff, order the car to start!"”
