The Long March Story

Hey my grandchildren, today I have found that the long march story was very important, I came to you to explain how Mao Zedong were saved by the long march .

The

Long March came about when the Chinese Communists had to flee a concerted Guomingdang attacked that had been ordered by

Chiang Kai-shek

.

The Guomindang was advised by the German general, which was Hans von

Seeckt.

This man basically advised the Chinese

Chiang Kai-shek

.

not

to launch a full frontal attack on Jiangxi

. Seeckt

was a skilled soldier and his strategy worked very well

.

The process lead to the area controlled by the Communists shrinking quite rapidly. Within 12 months, the Communists had lost 50% of the territory they had controlled in 1933 and 60,000 Communist soldiers (the Red Army) were killed. The Guomindang had the clear ability to fully destroy the Communists.

500,000

Guomindang troops surrounded Jiangxi in an attempt to strangulate the Communists. The Guomindang had a policy of making a slow advance building trenches and blockhouses as they went to give the Guomindang troops there places of protection

The Soviet Zone in Jiangxi

For seven years the communists prospered despite everything Chiang Kai- the KMT deep into their territory and sandbagged them with deadly ambushes.

The

Communist captured huge quantities of guns and ammunition and from the thousands of KMT prisoners, they replenished losses in their ranks. Now in the Fifth Campaign, thanks to Hitler who had dispatched one of his best shek and his Nationalists

Kuomintang

(KMT

).

Mao

was not in a leadership role and had no say in the operations, military or otherwise. After a year of terrible losses (about 60,000 men), one disastrous battle after another throughout Chiang's Fifth Campaign, the end was near

.

These explain how it was from the past period their were like a lot of battles , a thousands of people died so that mean the country wasn’t really safe at all it show country are fighting with others countries, their were so many wars . From what I have read the long March china story, My grand children if you were living in that situation what would you do? I would basically move to in other country were it is very safe so that I can live a better

life. the Red Army was confronting the KMT in costly head to head battles. For Chiang, the end to the Red Bandits was near at hand and he took great comfort in

this.Slide4

Mao Takes Over Command

At Zunyi a conference took place that

would forever There

was much change taking place. With Mao in command the men felt at ease. Now the men were told what they were doing and what was happening.

This was basically The

plan had been to forge to the north, join with He Long's Second Army group and cross the Yangzi

would

forever change the face of China. Mao emerged from the conference as the leader of the Communists Party and overall commander of

the

Red Army

.

As

the Red Army left Zunyi to the north Mao had about 35,000 troops including many he had just recently recruited. Now Mao changed course and the Red Army doubled back to the south and

west.

My grandchildren when Mao takes over basically everything changes over time period what I mean by that is the people could solved many problems , Mao would put a lot of opportunities for those people, they need to stop

Violence .

They people living in a situation were they cannot help themselves.
