Battle of Chishui River
The Battle of Chishui River (), more widely known as The Four Crossings of Chishui River or Crossing the Chishui River Four Times () in Mainland China, was a major battle between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Nationalist Party (KMT) during the Long March in 1935. It was the first major battle commanded by Mao Zedong during the Long March, and it is regarded as one of the most representative battles under Mao's command. This battle was a turning point in the first phase of Chinese Civil War. The Chinese Red Army jumped out of the encirclement of Kuomintang by unexpectedly crossing the Chishui River four times, and eventually survived the "crackdown campaign" of Chiang Kai-Shek.
