The CCP survived during the Nanjing decade was due to the Futian incident in 1930. This is when Mao led a violent two month purge against a rival unit within the Jiangxi Red Army. This involved the torture and mass execution of 3000 officers and men considered to be either GMD supporters or supporters of Li lisan who was also Mao’s rival.

If this is a victory, what's a defeat then?
Hannibal tricked the Roman army and surrounded them, in the end killing 50,000 enemy soldiers. This was the greatest loss Rome had ever suffered. As a result of victories like this, Hannibal was described as ‘a military genius’. He used strategies and tactics that most ancient civilizations had never heard of, and even though he had a small army, he was able to defeat opponents almost three times his size.

The Battle of Mogadishu The Battle of Mogadishu went from a normal military kidnapping to a seventeen hour firefight for soldiers lives. Most Americans have the image of American soldiers being dragged lifeless through the streets of Mogadishu, half-naked, but the event itself was much more than that.
