The third encirclement campaign against the Honghu Soviet was an encirclement campaign launched by the Chinese Nationalist Government that was intended to destroy the communist Honghu Soviet and its Chinese Red Army in the local region. The Red Army successfully defended their soviet republic against the Nationalist attacks from early September 1931 to 30 May 1932.[citation needed]
