The reasons for the Red Army's Long March were manifold. On the one hand, China was in a situation of internal and external troubles at that time, and was facing serious political, economic, and military crises. Under these conditions, the Red Army, led by the Communist Party of China, in order to survive and develop, was forced to make a strategic shift.
On the other hand, the officers and men of the Red Army also showed firm faith and indomitable spirit, and they overcame all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, and finally realized the victorious Long March.
Let's analyze the reasons for the Long March of the Red Army in more detail:
1. Political reasons:
Overthrow of the Kuomintang regime: In China at that time, the Kuomintang regime brutally oppressed the people, and the Red Army led by the Communist Party adopted the method of armed struggle in order to overthrow this regime and realize people's democracy.
Establishment of a people's democratic regime: The goal of the Red Army was not only to overthrow the Kuomintang regime, but also to establish a people's democratic regime throughout the country. In order to achieve this goal, the Red Army needed to make a strategic shift in search of a better fighting opportunity.
2. Economic reasons:
Solving the problem of material shortage: China's economic and social development was seriously damaged by the protracted war and war, and the Red Army was facing a shortage of food and materials. During the Long March, the Red Army needed to overcome these difficulties and ensure the basic living needs of the army.
Improving the living conditions of the troops: During the Long March, the Red Army officers and men faced harsh natural conditions and difficult living conditions. In order to improve the living conditions of the troops and raise the morale of the troops, the Red Army decided to go on a long march.
3. Military reasons:
Preserving the strength of the Red Army: In the face of encirclement and pursuit by the Kuomintang, the Red Army needed to make a strategic shift in order to preserve its strength. During the Long March, the Red Army soldiers had to face a variety of challenges, including the harsh natural environment, enemy pursuit, and siege. However, through the Long March, the Red Army succeeded in preserving its strength and laid the foundation for the later War of Resistance Against Japan.
Finding a better fighting opportunity: During the Long March, the Red Army officers and men also needed to maintain a high degree of vigilance and mobility to find a better fighting opportunity. Through the Long March, the Red Army successfully broke free from the encirclement and pursuit of the enemy and laid the foundation for the victory of the revolutionary cause.
