What is the significance of the Long March?

1. Smashed the Kuomintang reactionaries' attempt to "encircle" the Red Army and stifle the China Revolution, and turned the corner of the China Revolution.

Through the Long March, Comrade Mao Zedong's leading position in the Party and Mao Zedong's guiding position in military and political thought were established. At the critical moment of the revolution, the Party held the Zunyi Conference with great historical significance, which established Comrade Mao Zedong's leading position in the Red Army and the CPC Central Committee.

Second, the Red Army broke through the encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang reactionaries.

Overcoming the natural obstacles of snowy mountains and grasslands and the crisis of division within the party, less than 30 thousand people finally reached northern Shaanxi. But this is the essence of China's * * * production party and the Red Army. They formed the backbone to lead War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the people's liberation war in the future.

Third, on the way to the Long March, China's * * * production party publicized its political opinions and spread the flame of revolution widely.

In a sense, this large-scale transfer is the largest armed roving propaganda in history. There are more than 200 million people in the provinces where the Red Army passes. Between battles, every time they occupied a town, they held mass meetings and cultural performances to "punish" the rich, liberated many "slaves" (some of whom joined the Red Army), publicized "freedom, equality and democracy", confiscated the property of "traitors" (bureaucrats, landlords and tax collectors) and distributed their property to the poor.

Fourth, through the Long March, local warlords were basically eliminated or restored, and the effective strength of the war of resistance was retained.

Chiang Kai-shek took the opportunity of the Long March of the Red Army and successfully used the Long March of the Central Red Army. At a small cost of the Central Army losing less than 30,000 people, in two or three years before and after the Long March, he completely recovered and controlled eight local warlords or provinces controlled by China, including Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, and incorporated at least 700,000 local warlord troops (Sichuan alone has more than 200,000 regular troops).

Mao Zedong's leading position in the Red Army and the CPC Central Committee was established in the Long March.

After the failure of Xiangjiang Campaign, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee held a meeting in Zunyi, Guizhou Province to correct the mistakes of "Left" leaders in military command.
