Fifth encirclement campaign against the Eyuwan Soviet
(Redirected from Fifth encirclement campaign against the Hubei–Henan–Anhui Soviet)
The fifth encirclement campaign against the Eyuwan Soviet was an encirclement campaign launched by the Chinese Nationalist Government against the Eyuwan Soviet, a Communist base in the Hubei–Henan–Anhui border region. It was met by the 25th Red Army's fifth counter-encirclement campaign. As with the fourth campaign, this campaign ended in a Nationalist victory. The 25th Red Army decided in mid-November 1934 to abandon the soviet area and head westwards, joining the Long March.
