THE PROBLEM OF
MILITARY BASES
The Party in the border area has another task, namely, the
consolidation of the military bases at Five Wells [12] and Chiulung. The Five Wells mountain area at the juncture of
Yunghsin, Linghsien, Ningkang and Suichuan Counties, and the Chiulung mountain
area at the juncture of Yunghsin, Ningkang, Chaling and Lienhua Counties, both
of which have topographical advantages, are important military bases not only
for the border area at present, but also for insurrections in Hunan, Hupeh and
Kiangsi in the future, and this is particularly true of Five Wells, where we
have the support of the people as well as a terrain that is especially
difficult and strategically important. The way to consolidate these bases is,
first, to construct adequate defences, second, to store sufficient grain and, third,
to set up comparatively good Red Army hospitals. The Party in the border area
must strive to perform these three tasks effectively.
