Resource summary
The Long March (1934-35)
Why?
Guomindang had trapped the communists in Jiangxi province after a series of extermination campaigns
With no extra soldiers, food and equipment from outside, the communists were faltering
Fifth extermination campaign led by General Hans von Seekt led to the loss of half the territory and loss of 60,000 communist soldiers by October 1934
What?
Russian Otto Braun organised a retreat to the Hunan-Hubei province to meet the second communist army group
16 October 1934: retreat started, with communists taking all equipment and 87,000 men
Nov.-Dec: Communists lost 45,000 men at the Xiang River battle
Jan. 1935: Otto Braun was dismissed as he was blamed for the great losses of men
Mao Zedong and Zhu Ye regained control
Crossed the Yangzi river and Dadu river, where 22 soldiers had to swing across under enemy fire and the Snowy Mountains
October 1935: Arrived in Yanan province and met 2nd+4th army
Less than 10,000 of the 87,000 men remained
What importance?
Provided a life-line for the trapped communists
Restored strength of communist army as they got back to 80,000 men in Yanan
Its success was big propaganda
Mao was re-established as unchallenged leader of CCP
The good behaviour of the Red Army impressed many
