Significance of the development of Hubei, Henan and Anhui revolutionary base areas;
The rapid development of the revolutionary base areas in Hubei, Henan and Anhui directly threatened the Nanjing government. Chiang Kai-shek quickly mobilized 300,000 troops and became commander-in-chief to "encirclement and suppression" this base area. Because Zhang ignored the fact that the enemy was strong and we were weak, he made a serious strategic mistake. Although the Red Army soldiers fought bloody battles and wiped out tens of thousands of enemies, they still failed to break the enemy's "encirclement and suppression". ?
