Strategy of Connecting Central Soviet Area with Fujian-Zhejiang-Jiangxi Revolutionary Base Area
In 1930,the CPC Central Committee instructed the Special Committee of Northeast Jiangxi to implement the strategy of opening up the Central Soviet Area.Fang Zhimin and other CPC members made great efforts to push forward from northern Fujian and the south of Xinjiang River.In 1933,this strategy was realized with the joint efforts of the Red Army in Fujian-Zhejiang-Jiangxi Soviet area and the Red Army of the Central Soviet area.The CPC Soviet Area Central Bureau re-zoned areas of Xinfu,northern Fujian and Jianli and Tai in the Fujian-Zhejiang-Jiangxi Soviet Area to form Min-Gan(Fujian-Jiangxi)Province.From May to September in 1933,the KMT intensified its efforts to separate,encircle and suppress the Min-Gan Soviet area and the Fujian-Zhejiang-Jiangxi Soviet area.The ultimate failure of the strategy of connecting Northeast Jiangxi with the Central Soviet Area should be attributed to CPC's mistakes in the guiding ideology construction of Fujian and Jiangxi provinces,as well as to KMT's adoption of new tactics of"encirclement and suppression"in the Min-Gan Soviet area.
