Shi Zhongquan

Abstract：After the Red Army achieved the great victory of the fourth campaign against "encirclement and suppression"， faced with the Kuomintang army's preparation for a new "encirclement and suppression"， Zhou Enlai and Zhu De argued for the correct military policy of eliminating the enemy in mobile warfare， while Bo Gu and Li De simply copied the experience of the Soviet Union's military struggle， stubbornly persisting in the strategic policy of expanding the Soviet area and capturing the central city， and neglected the correct strategies and tactics summarized by Mao Zedong， Zhou Enlai and Zhu De in practice， which resulting in the failure of the Red Army's fifth campaign against "encirclement and suppression"， and forced the Red Army to leave the Central Soviet area for strategic shift. To prepare for the withdrawal of the main force of the Red Army from the Central Soviet area and the implementation of strategic shift， the Central Secretariat decided to form the central "group of three" by Bo Gu， Li De and Zhou Enlai， responsible for planning and preparation work. Although Zhou Enlai had differences with Bo Gu and Li De in strategy and tactics， he was “patient for the sake of the party” with a strong organizational concept. According to the strategic shift instructions of the Communist International， Zhou Enlai was responsible for or participated in many secret preparations such as the Seventh Red Army Group's northward march， the Sixth Red Army's westward expedition， the negotiation of a loan agreement with Chen Jitang of the Guangdong Army， the formation of the Eighth Army and the Central instructors， and the determination of the main concentration of the Red Army. He participated in the command of the central organs and the Red Army main body gathered in Yudu， organized troops to rush across the Xiangjiang River ferry and other military operations， and commanded the Red Army to march through four blockades.

Journey thousands of miles of wind is strong， heavy responsibility thousand Jun again street hoof.
