The First Encirclement Campaign against Hubei – Henan – Anhui Soviet was an encirclement campaign launched by the Chinese Nationalist Government that was intended to destroy communist Hubei – Henan – Anhui Soviet and its Chinese Red Army in the local region. It was responded by the Communists’ First Counter-Encirclement Campaign at Hubei – Henan – Anhui Soviet (Chinese: 鄂豫皖苏区第一次反围剿), also called by the communists as the First Counter-Encirclement Campaign at Hubei – Henan – Anhui Revolutionary Base (Chinese: 鄂豫皖革命根据地第一次反围剿), in which the local Chinese Red Army successfully defended their soviet republic in the border region of Hubei – Henan – Anhui provinces against the Nationalist attacks from November 1930 to March 9, 1931.
