In the first four battles, due to the implementation of Mao Zedong's mobile warfare policy, the national government forces failed to achieve their intended goals and all ended in retreat. In the fifth campaign, due to Mao Zedong's loss of leadership, Bo Gu (formerly known as Qin Bangxian), the interim head of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, adopted the advice of the Soviet military adviser Li De, abandoned the active defense policy of the past four anti-encirclement campaigns, and characterized this war as a decisive battle between countries.
Adopting military adventurism, he put forward the slogan of "keeping the enemy out of the country", demanding that the Red Army resist the National Revolutionary Army outside the base area, and decided to take the initiative before the Kuomintang and launch all the Red Army to launch an all-out attack to win the victory of the Soviet Union in China. However, there were only about 65,438+10,000 regular troops and tens of thousands of guerrillas in the Central Soviet Area, which suffered huge losses shortly after the preemptive strike.
At this time, the * * * production party decided to defend its position, supplemented by "short assault" (short-range attack), with the intention of resisting the advancement of the National Revolutionary Army. But this action did not play its due role. Soon, Ruijin Guangchang, the gate of central and northern Jiangsu and the national capital, fell, and the Red Army suffered more than 10,000 casualties.

Significance of the Red Army's Long March
The victory of the Red Army's Long March was under the correct leadership of the new central government represented by the Zunyi Conference, which corrected the mistakes of "Left" adventurism and opposed Zhang's separatism, and it was of great historical significance. It fully shows the hard-working spirit of China and party member.
This spirit is a great spiritual force for the development of China's * * * Production Party and the Red Army led by her, which has had a great influence on the people of the whole country. The three main forces of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants made a strategic shift in a year or so under extremely difficult conditions. The Long March successfully crossed 12 province, with a total length exceeding 2.5 Wan Li.
Although the original southern base area was lost and a large part of its strength was lost, the backbone of China's * * * production party and the Red Army was preserved and exercised, sowing the seeds of revolution along the way.
Just as the bonfire in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is about to burn in the whole country, it is undoubtedly an event of great historical significance that the three main forces of the Red Army meet in the northwest to shoulder the new task of the China Revolution and the sacred duty of fighting against the Japanese aggressors.
As Comrade Mao Zedong said, "The Long March is a manifesto, a propaganda team and a seeder" and "The Long March ended with our victory and the enemy's defeat", which marked the beginning of a new situation in China's revolution.
The fact that iron was used in the Long March shows that the Chinese Production Party and the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants, armed with Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, have great vitality to overcome any difficulties, which can not be overcome by any reactionary forces at home and abroad.
