Only later, because there were many unexpected situations during the March, the situation changed at any time. Finally chose Yan 'an. This is because at that time, Yan 'an was really the best place to go.
The failure of the fifth counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression" was the most direct and important reason for the Red Army's Long March. There are two main reasons for the failure of the fifth anti-encirclement campaign in the Central Soviet Area. One is that the enemy is strong, and the other is that our party has made mistakes.
1September, 933, Chiang Kai-shek concentrated 500,000 troops and launched the fifth "encirclement and suppression" campaign against the Central Soviet Area. The policy of "encirclement and suppression" is "gradually advancing the fortress"
To this end, Chiang Kai-shek set up an officer training group in Lushan, and hired military instructors from Germany, Italy, the United States and other countries to form a military advisory group to teach the tactics and techniques of the Red Army's "encirclement and suppression" and at the same time raise funds to buy a large number of arms. With the development of the war situation, the Kuomintang troops gradually occupied most of the central revolutionary base areas.

The Long March of the Red Army took place at a time when China was facing national peril, and anti-Japanese national salvation became a top priority for the whole nation. The September 18th Incident was the beginning of Japanese attempt to destroy China. 1932, the Japanese army launched an attack on Shanghai, creating the "December 28th Incident", which further accelerated the pace of aggression against China.
1in the spring of 933, the Japanese army successively captured Shanhaiguan and Jehol, and occupied some areas north of the Great Wall, aiming at Ping Jin. The Japanese army stepped up its invasion of China, and the crisis of the Chinese nation became increasingly serious. Uniting against Japan and saving the nation has gradually become the political theme of China society and the * * * requirement of the people all over the country.
However, Chiang Kai-shek went against the historical trend, stubbornly taking "doing things outside must be done inside" as the basic national policy to deal with internal and external relations, repeatedly compromising with Japan and constantly mobilizing heavy troops to "encircle and encircle" the Soviet area and the Red Army.
1April 6, 933, Chiang Kai-shek declared in "Tell the General to Lead the bandits to Talk about Anti-Japanese Electricity" that "if the frontline generals plead in the north, they will not tolerate them unintentionally"; It is said that it is anti-Japanese "and" no forgiveness. " Under the non-resistance policy of Chiang Kai-shek clique, both the "December 28th" War of Resistance and the Great Wall War of Resistance ended in failure.
Under the increasingly serious national crisis, Chiang Kai-shek's policy of "settling down first when busy outside" has been dissatisfied by Chinese people and condemned by public opinion, and even opposed by some people in the Kuomintang ruling group and local power groups.
An article entitled "If I were Chiang Kai-shek" published in Independent Review criticized the policy of non-resistance as "the worst suicide policy", which turned China into "a piece of fat meat" and then the Japanese "cut it off with one knife".
