Campaigns in the Chinese Civil War

The encirclement campaigns of the Chinese Civil War were Republic of China (ROC) offensives against Communist (CCP) enclaves in China from the late-1920s to 1934.[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]
