The fifth encirclement campaign against the Eyuwan Soviet was an encirclement campaign launched by the Chinese Nationalist Government against the Communist base in the Hubei–Henan–Anhui border region, the Eyuwan Soviet. It was met by the Twenty-fifth Red Army's fifth counter-encirclement campaign. As with the fourth campaign, this campaign ended in a Nationalist victory and the Twenty-fifth Red Army decided in mid-November 1934 to abandon the soviet area and head westwards, joining the Long March.
