Aftermath

The encirclement campaigns of the Chinese Civil War were Republic of China (ROC) offensives against Chinese Communist Party (CCP) revolutionary base areas in China from the late-1920s to 1934 during the Chinese Civil War.^[1]^[2]

The climax were the five "encirclement and suppression",^[2] or "extermination",^[1] campaigns against the Chinese Soviet Republic (CSR) from 1930 to 1934.^[2] The final campaign, developed with German advisors, destroyed the CSR's Jiangxi Soviet and precipitated the CCP's strategic retreat in the Long March.^[3]^[4]
