Reflections on"Lasting Siege Fortress"Policy in Campaign against"Encirclement and Suppression"in Northeast Jiangxi
From the beginning of the third Campaign against"Encirclement and Suppression"in 1931 to the end of the fourth counter-campaign in 1933,the Northeast Jiangxi Soviet Area gradually deepened its understanding of KMT blockhouse and of how to counter it.The leaders of the CPC Committee of Northeast Jiangxi formulated the policy of"Lasting Siege For-tress"to address the blockhouse tactics of the KMT army.Its main purpose was to break the blockade of the KMT blockhouses by mobilizing the masses and local armed forces to fight in cooperation with the Red Army.Fang Zhimin,one of the main founders of the Northeast Jiangxi Soviet Area attached great importance to this policy,which was applied in the two campaigns against"Encirclement and Suppression"and achieved considerable results.However,one problem was that this policy did not well match the actual balance of strength between our forces and the enemy forces.
