Encirclement Campaigns is a term used to describe several different campaigns launched by forces of the Chinese Nationalist Government against forces of the Communist Party of China during the Chinese Civil War. The campaigns were launched between the late 1920s to the mid-1930s with the goal of isolating and destroying the developing Chinese Red Army. The Nationalist forces launched encirclement campaigns against Communist bases in several separate locations in the Republic of China.

Consequences

While the Encirclement Campaigns of the Chinese Republican military were in the main unsuccessful, they did continue and improve so that the last ones at each target location were at least partially successful. The final campaigns led directly to the famous Long March of the Communist Red Armies.
