The Chinese Soviet Republic (CSR) was a state within China,proclaimed on 7 November 1931 by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leaders Mao Zedong and Zhu De in the early stages of the Chinese Civil War. The discontiguous territories of the CSR included 18 provinces and 4 counties under the Communists' control. The CSR's government was located in its largest component territory,the Jiangxi Soviet. Due to the importance of the Jiangxi Soviet in the CSR's early history,the name "Jiangxi Soviet" is sometimes used to refer to the CSR as a whole. Other component territories of the CSR included the Northeastern Jiangxi,Hunan-Jiangxi,Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi,Hunan-Western Hubei,Hunan-Hubei-Sichuan-Guizhou,Eyuwan,Shaanxi-Gansu,Sichuan-Shanxi,and Haifeng-Lufeng Soviets.

The second encirclement campaignagainst Jiangxi Soviet was a series of battles launched by the Chinese Nationalist Government in the hope of encircling and destroying the Jiangxi Soviet after the previous campaign had failed. The Red Army repelled the encirclement by launching their second counter-encirclement campaign,also called by the communists as the second counter-encirclement campaign at Central Revolutionary Base,in which the local Chinese Red Army successfully defended the Jiangxi Soviet against the Nationalist attacks from April 1,1931,to May 31,1931.

The Jiangxi Soviet was a soviet governed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that existed between 1931 and 1934. It was the largest component of the Chinese Soviet Republic and home to its capital,Ruijin. At the time,the CCP was engaged in a rural insurgency against the Kuomintang-controlled Nationalist Government as part of the Chinese Civil War. CCP leaders Mao Zedong and Zhu De chose to create the soviet in the rugged Jinggang Mountains on the border of Jiangxi and Fujian because of its remote location and defensible terrain. The First Red Front Army successfully repulsed a series of encirclement campaigns by the Kuomintang's National Revolutionary Army (NRA) during the first few years of the Soviet's existence,but they were eventually defeated by the NRA's fifth attempt in 1934-35. After the Jiangxi Soviet was defeated militarily,the CCP began the Long March towards a new base area in the northwest.
