Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Second Encirclement Campaign against Hubei-Henan-Shaanxi Soviet was a campaign launched by the Chinese Nationalist Government that was intended to destroy the communist Hubei-Henan-Shaanxi Soviet and its local Red Army. It was met with the Communists' Second Counter-Encirclement Campaign at Hubei-Henan-Shaanxi Soviet. The local Red Army successfully defended their liberated territory in the tri-provincial border region from February 1935 to April 18, 1935. After their defeat in the First Encirclement Campaign against Hubei-Henan-Shaanxi Soviet, the Nationalist Government immediately regrouped and launched their Second Encirclement Campaign in the hope of not leaving their communist enemy enough time to rest, regroup and recover. The Nationalists deployed the veteran unit of the First Encirclement Campaign, the 2nd Garrison Brigade, as the force to chase the enemy main force. The Nationalist 115th Brigade and Garrison Regiment stationed at Lantian, Shanyang and Shangxian were also mobilized to attack the town of Gepai.
