Southern Expedition to Guangdong

The outbreak of the Nanchang Uprising greatly shocked the right-wing faction of the Kuomintang, which immediately dispatched heavy troops to encircle and suppress the uprising forces. On August 3, the uprising forces began to withdraw from Nanchang in batches according to the central decision made before the uprising. They then moved south to Guangdong along the eastern Jiangxi and western Fujian provinces, with two intentions: first, to restore and establish a revolutionary base in Guangdong, gather strength, and launch a new Northern Expedition; second, to seize the seaport to obtain maritime assistance from the Communist International. This is a multimedia presentation reflecting the southward movement of the uprising forces.
