Military equalitarianism reached its extreme point in our fifth counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression" in 1934.- zhǐ yòu dì wǔ cì fǎn“ wéi jiǎo ” shí quán bù zhī chū zhàn guān xì zhī dà， zhèn jīng yú lí chuān yī chéng zhī shī， cóng wǎn jiù de qǐ tú chū fā， běi shàng jiù dí， yú xún kǒu bù yù qī zāo yù zhàn shèng lì（ xiāo miè dí yī gè shī） zhī hòu， què bù bǎ cǐ zhàn kàn zuò dì yī zhàn， bù kàn cǐ zhàn suǒ bì rán yǐn qǐ de biàn huà， ér mào rán jìn gōng bù kě bì shèng de xiāo shí。
It was only in the fifth counter-campaign that the importance of the first battle was not recognized at all. Taking alarm at the loss of the single county town of Lichuan, our forces marched north to meet the enemy in an attempt to recover it. Then, the unexpected encounter at Hsunkou, which had resulted in a victory (with the annihilation of an enemy division), was not treated as the first battle, nor were the changes that were bound to ensue foreseen, but instead Hsiaoshih was rashly attacked with no assurance of success.- wéi dú dì sān cì zhàn yì， yīn wéi bù liào dí rén jīng guò dì 'èr cì zhàn yì nà me cǎn bài zhī hòu， xīn de jìn gōng lái dé nà me kuài（ yī jiǔ sān yī nián wǔ yuè sān shí yī rì wǒ men jié shù dì 'èr cì fǎn“ wéi jiǎo ” de zuò zhàn， qī yuè yī rì jiǎng jiè shí jiù kāi shǐ liǎo tā men de dì sān cì“ wéi jiǎo ”）， hóng jūn cāng zú dì rào dào jí zhōng， jiù nòng dé shí fēn pí láo。
It was only during the third campaign that the Red Army was very fatigued by the detour it had hastily had to make in order to reassemble, because we had not expected the enemy to launch a new offensive so quickly after suffering such a crushing defeat in the second campaign (we ended our second counter-campaign on May 31, 1931, and Chiang Kai-shek began his third "encirclement and suppression" campaign on July 1).- dì sì cì fǎn“ wéi jiǎo ” shí gōng nán fēng bù kè， yì rán cǎi qǔ liǎo tuì què bù zhòu， zhōng yú zhuǎn dào dí zhī yòu yì， jí zhōng dōng sháo dì qū， kāi shǐ liǎo yí huáng nán bù de dà shèng zhàng。
In our fourth counter-campaign, after our attack on Nanfeng had failed, we unhesitatingly withdrew, wheeled round to the enemy's right flank, and reassembled our forces in the area of Tungshao, whereupon we launched our great and victorious battle in southern Yihuang County.- rán 'ér děng dào hóng jūn dào dá yī gè xīn de dì qū shí， lì rú wǒ men yóu jiāng xī děng dì yí dào liǎo shǎn xī，“ wéi jiǎo ” de fǎn fù yòu chū xiàn liǎo。
But when the Red Army reached a new area, as for example when we shifted from Kiangsi Province and various other regions to Shensi Province, the repetition of "encirclement and suppression" campaigns began afresh.- dì wǔ cì fǎn“ wéi jiǎo ” shí， gànbù de yì jiàn kāi tóu shì jì xù jūn shì mào xiǎn zhù yì fǎn duì yòu dí shēn rù de guān diǎn， hòu lái shì biàn chéng liǎo jūn shì bǎo shǒu zhù yì。
In the fifth, they at first persisted in the military adventurist view, which opposed luring the enemy in deep, but later turned to military conservatism.- dì sì cì fǎn“ wéi jiǎo ” shí， yóu yú jūn shì mào xiǎn zhù yì de yǐng xiǎng， gànbù de yì jiàn shì fǎn duì zhǔn bèi。
In the fourth counter-campaign the cadres, under the influence of military adventurism, objected to making preparations for retreat.- shí wǔ tiān zhōng（ yī jiǔ sān yī nián wǔ yuè shí liù rì zhì sān shí yī rì）， zǒu qī bǎi lǐ， dǎ wǔ gè zhàng， jiǎo qiāng 'èr wàn yú， tòng kuài lín lí dì dǎ pò liǎo“ wéi jiǎo ”。
In fifteen days (from May 16 to May 31, 1931,we marched seven hundred li, fought five battles, captured more than twenty thousand rifles and roundly smashed the enemy's "encirclement and suppression" campaign.- yīn cǐ， tā men bù dàn zǔ zhì liǎo wǔ zhuāng lì liàng jìn xíng jūn shì shàng de“ wéi jiǎo ”， ér qiě zài jīng jì shàng shí xíng cán kù de fēng suǒ zhèng cè。
For this purpose, they have pursued a ruthless policy of economic blockade, in addition to organizing forces for military campaigns of "encirclement and suppression".- zhè liǎng zhǒng“ wéi jiǎo ”， zài dì guó zhù yì cè dòng zhī xià， céng jīng dòng yuán liǎo quán zhōng guó hé quán shì jiè de fǎn gé mìng lì liàng， qí shí jiān yán cháng zhì shí nián zhī jiǔ， qí cán kù shì jǔ shì wèi yòu de， shā lù liǎo jǐ shí wàn gòng chǎn dǎng yuán hé qīng nián xué shēng， cuī cán liǎo jǐ bǎi wàn gōng rén nóng mín。
At the instigation of the imperialists, the counter-revolutionary forces of the whole country and of the whole world were mobilized for both kinds of campaigns of "encirclement and suppression", which lasted no less than ten years and were unparalleled in their ruthlessness;hundreds of thousands of Communists and young students were slaughtered and millions of workers and peasants suffered cruel persecution.- bù cuò，“ jiǎo gòng shí nián”“ jiǎo ” chū liǎo yī gè“ yī dǎng zhuān zhèng”， dàn zhè nǎi shì bàn zhí mín dì bàn fēng jiàn de zhuān zhèng。
True, a "one-party dictatorship" was "suppressed" into existence through the decade of "Communist suppression", but it is a semi-colonial and semi-feudal dictatorship.- hú hàn mín suǒ yǐ tuō de liǎng guǎng pài jūn fá， yě zài suǒ wèi“ shōu fù shī dì” hé“ kàng rì jiǎo fěi bìng zhòng”（ jiǎng jiè shí de shì“ xiān jiǎo fěi， hòu kàng rì”） de qī piàn kǒu hào zhī xià， tóng jiǎng jiè shí duì lì。
The warlords of the Kwangtung and Kwangsi cliques who back Hu Han-min are also opposing Chiang Kai-shek, under the deceitful slogans of "Recover our lost territory", and "Resist Japan and at the same time suppress the bandits" (as against Chiang Kai-shek's slogan of "First suppress the bandits, then resist Japan").- jiāng xī dǎ pò dì yī cì“ wéi jiǎo ”， cóng chū zhàn dào jié shù zhǐ yòu yī xīng qī， dǎ pò dì 'èr cì“ wéi jiǎo ” zhǐ yòu bàn gè yuè， dǎ pò dì sān cì“ wéi jiǎo ” jiù 'áo shàng liǎo sān gè yuè， dì sì cì shì sān xīng qī， dì wǔ cì jiù 'áo liǎo zhěng zhěng de yī nián。
The smashing of the first enemy "encirclement and suppression" campaign in Kiangsi Province took only one week from the first battle to the last; the second was smashed in barely a fortnight; the third dragged on for three months before it was smashed; the fourth took three weeks; and the fifth taxed our endurance for a whole year.- dí yǐ jìn gōng duì wǒ fáng yù、 wǒ yǐ fáng yù duì dí jìn gōng de dì yī jiē duàn， hé dí yǐ fáng yù duì wǒ jìn gōng、 wǒ yǐ jìn gōng duì dí fáng yù de dì 'èr jiē duàn， shì měi yī cì“ wéi jiǎo ” zhōng zhàn dǒu xíng shì de fǎn fù。
In each campaign the alternation in the forms of fighting consists of the first stage in which the enemy employs the offensive against our defensive and we meet his offensive with our defensive, and of the second stage in which the enemy employs the defensive against our offensive and we meet his defensive with our offensive.- zhōng guó nèi zhàn de tè diǎn， shì“ wéi jiǎo ” hé fǎn“ wéi jiǎo ” de cháng qī dì fǎn fù hé gōng fáng liǎng zhǒng zhàn dǒu xíng shì de cháng qī dì fǎn fù， bìng qiě bāo kuò zhe yī cì yī wàn duō gōng lǐ de wěi dà de zhàn lüè zhuǎn yí（ cháng zhēng） zhè yàng yī zhǒng dōng xī zài lǐ miàn。
The special characteristic of China's civil war consists in the long-term repetition of "encirclement and suppression" campaigns and of our counter-campaigns together with the long-term alternation in the two forms of fighting, attack and defence, with the inclusion of the phenomenon of the great strategic shift of more than ten thousand kilometres (the Long March).- （ sān）“ jìn jiǎo ” zhàn lüè shì“ cháng qū zhí rù”， dà bù tóng yú dì 'èr cì“ wéi jiǎo ” zhī“ bù bù wéi yíng”， qǐ tú yā pò hóng jūn yú gàn jiāng 'ér xiāo miè zhī。
The enemy's strategy in this "suppression" campaign was to "drive straight in", which was vastly different from the strategy of "consolidating at every step" he used in the second campaign. The aim was to press the Red Army back against the Kan River and annihilate it there.- duì yú dì yī、 èr、 sān、 sì cì“ wéi jiǎo ”， wǒ men de fāng zhēn dōushì jiān miè zhàn。
Our policy for dealing with the enemy's first, second, third and fourth "encirclement and suppression" campaigns was war of annihilation.- dí rén zài yī gè fāng miàn（ zhàn lǐng wǒ jūn yuán yòu zhèn dì de fāng miàn） shuō lái shì shèng lì liǎo， zài lìng yī gè fāng miàn（ shí xiàn“ wéi jiǎo ”“ zhuī jiǎo ” jìhuà de fāng miàn） shuō lái shì shī bài liǎo。
In one respect the enemy won a victory (i.e., in occupying our original positions), but in another respect he has failed (i.e., failed to execute his plan of "encirclement ant suppression" and of "pursuit and suppression").- ér zuò wéi zhè liǎng zhǒng“ wéi jiǎo ” zhī gòng tóng jiēguǒ de dōng xī， zé shì quán guó rén mín de jué wù。
And the common result of both was the awakening of the people of the whole country.- tā men zài shēn shān jiǎo miè liǎo yī gǔ tǔ fěi。
They broke up a gang of bandits deep in the mountains.- rú guǒ jìn gōng zhī dí zài shù liàng hé qiáng dù shàng dū chāo guò wǒ jūn shèn yuǎn， wǒ men yào qiú qiáng ruò de duì bǐ fā shēng biàn huà， biàn zhǐ yòu děng dào dí rén shēn rù gēn jù dì， chī jìn gēn jù dì de kǔ chǔ， rú tóng dì sān cì“ wéi jiǎo ” shí jiǎng jiè shí mǒu lǚ cān móu cháng suǒ shuō de“ féi de tuō shòu， shòu de tuō sǐ”， yòu rú“ wéi jiǎo ” jūn xī lù zǒng sī lìng chén míng shū suǒ shuō de“ guó jūn chù chù hēi 'àn， hóng jūn chù chù míng liàng” zhī shí， cái néng dá dào mùdì。
If the attacking enemy is far more numerous and much stronger than we are, we can accomplish a change in the balance of fores only when the enemy has penetrated deeply into our base area and tasted all the bitterness it holds for him. As the chief of staff of one of Chiang Kai-shek's brigades remarked during the third "encirclement and suppression" campaign, "Our stout men have worn themselves thin and our thin men have worn themselves to death." Or, in the words of Chen Ming-shu, Commander-in-Chief of the Western Route of the Kuomintang's "Encirclement and Suppression" Army, "Eveywhere the National Army gropes in the dark, while the Red Army walks in broad daylight."- zhè jí shì suǒ wèi nèi xiàn zuò zhàn zhōng de wài xiàn zuò zhàn，“ wéi jiǎo ” zhōng de wéi jiǎo ， fēng suǒ zhōng de fēng suǒ， fáng yù zhōng de jìn gōng， liè shì zhōng de yōu shì， ruò zhě zhōng de qiáng zhě， bù lì zhōng de yòu lì， bèi dòng zhōng de zhù dòng。
This is what we call exterior-line operations within interior-line operations, encirclement and suppression within "encirclement and suppression", blockade within blockade, the offensive within the defensive, superiority within inferiority, strength within weakness, advantage within disadvantage, and initiative within passivity.- rán 'ér wǒ men lǐng dǎo guǎng dà de qún zhòng hé hóng jūn， bù dàn lǚ cì jī kuì liǎo dí rén de“ wéi jiǎo ”， ér qiě cóng shì yú yī qiē kě néng de hé bì xū de jīng jì jiàn shè， qù chōng pò dí rén de jīng jì fēng suǒ de dú jì。
But, leading the broad masses and the Red Army, we have not only smashed one enemy "encirclement and suppression" campaign after another, but have also been doing all the essential work of economic construction within our power in order to defeat this vicious economic blockade.- rú guǒ shuō yòu dí shēn rù zài yǐ qián shì yòu yòng de， nà mò zài bǎo lěi zhù yì de dì wǔ cì“ wéi jiǎo ” shì wú yòng de。
Even though luring the enemy deep into our territory might have been useful in the past, it would be useless against the enemy's fifth "encirclement and suppression" campaign in which he adopted the policy of blockhouse warfare.- “ bǎo lěi zhù yì de wǔ cì ‘ wéi jiǎo ’ shí qī wǒ men bù néng jí zhōng zuò zhàn， zhǐ néng fēn bīng fáng yù cóng shì duǎn cù tū jī”， zhè zhǒng shuō fǎ yě shì bù duì de。
Also, it was wrong to say, "In the fifth 'encirclement and suppression' campaign which is being carried on by means of blockhouse warfare, it is impossible for us to operate with concentrated forces, and all we can do is to divide them up for defence and for short swift thrusts."- dàn shì zhè zhǒng xīn de“ jiǎo gòng” shì yè， bù shì yǐ jīng yòu rén jié zú xiān dēng、 fèn yǒng dān fù qǐ lái liǎo má？
But is there not one fleet-footed person who has already outstripped everyone else and boldly under taken this new enterprise of "Communist suppression"?- dì yī cì fǎn“ wéi jiǎo ” shí xiān xiǎng dǎ tán dào yuán， jǐn yīn dí bù tuō lí yuán tóu nà gè jū gāo lín xià de zhèn dì， wǒ jūn liǎng dù kāi jìn， què liǎng dù rěn nài chè huí， guò liǎo jǐ tiān zhǎo dào liǎo hǎo dǎ de zhāng huī zàn。
In our first counter campaign we originally planned to strike at Tan Tao-yuan's troops; we advanced twice but each time had to restrain ourselves and pull back, because they would not budge from their commanding position on the Yuantou heights. A few days later we sought out Chang Hui tsan's troops, which were more vulnerable to our attack.- dǎ pò“ wéi jiǎo ” de guò chéng wǎng wǎng shì yū huí qū zhé de， bù shì jìng qíng zhí suì de。
The process of breaking an "encirclement and suppression" campaign is usually circuitous and not as direct as one would wish.- zhè hé jiāng xī de yī xiē tóng zhì hào zhào hóng jūn dǎ nán chāng， fǎn duì jìn xíng shǐ gè gēn jù dì lián chéng yī piàn de gōng zuò， fǎn duì yòu dí shēn rù de zuò zhàn， bǎ yī shěng shèng lì fàng zài duó qǔ shěng chéng hé zhōng xīn chéng shì de jī diǎn shàng， yǐ jí rèn wéi“ fǎn duì wǔ cì‘ wéi jiǎo ’ shì gé mìng dào lù hé zhí mín dì dào lù de jué zhàn” děng děng， shì zài yuán zé shàng yī zhì de。
In principle, this fitted in with the views of those comrades in Kiangsi who called for a Red Army attack on Nanchang, were against the work of linking up the base areas and the tactics of luring the enemy in deep, regarded the seizure of the capital and other key cities of a province as the starting point for victory in that province, and held that "the fight against the fifth 'encirclement and suppression' campaign represents the decisive battle between the road of revolution and the road of colonialism".- dì wǔ cì fǎn“ wéi jiǎo ” jìn xíng liǎng gè yuè zhī hòu， dāng fú jiàn shì biàn chū xiàn zhī shí， hóng jūn zhù lì wú yí dì yīnggāi tū jìn dào yǐ zhè jiāng wéi zhōng xīn de sū zhè wǎn gàn dì qū qù， zòng héng chí chěng yú háng zhōu、 sū zhōu、 nán jīng、 wú hú、 nán chāng、 fú zhōu zhī jiān， jiāng zhàn lüè fáng yù zhuǎn biàn wéi zhàn lüè jìn gōng， wēi xié dí zhī gēn běn zhòng dì， xiàng guǎng dà wú bǎo lěi dì dài xún qiú zuò zhàn。
At the time of the Fukien Incident, two months after the commencement of our fifth counter-campaign, the main forces of the Red Army should undoubtedly have thrust into the Kiangsu-Chekiang-Anhwei-Kiangsi region, with Chekiang as the centre, and swept over the length and breadth of the area between Hangchow, Soochow, Nanking, Wuhu, Nanchang and Foochow, turning our strategic defensive into a strategic offensive, menacing the enemy's vital centres and seeking battles in the vast areas where there were no blockhouses.- jīn hòu rú zài yào“ jiǎo ”， yòu dé chóngfù zhè gè jué yì。
Any further "suppression" will also conform to it.- zhí luó zhèn yī zhàng， zhōng yāng hóng jūn tóng xī běi hóng jūn xiōng dì bān de tuán jié， fěn suì liǎo mài guó zéi jiǎng jiè shí xiàng zhe shǎn gān biān qū de“ wéi jiǎo ”， gěi dǎng zhōng yāng bǎ quán guó gé mìng dà běn yíng fàng zài xī běi de rèn wù， jǔ xíng liǎo yī gè diàn jī lǐ。
In the battle of Chihlochen the Central Red Army and the Northwestern Red Army, fighting in fraternal solidarity, shattered the traitor Chiang Kai-shek's campaign of "encirclement and suppression" against the Shensi-Kansu border area and thus laid the cornerstone for the task undertaken by the Central Committee of the Party, the task of setting up the national headquarters of the revolution in northwestern China.
