Zunyi Conference
The conference led to a shift in the tactics of the [[People's Liberation Army]] from guerrilla warfare to mobile, conventional tactics. Along with this shift in tactics, the conference resulted in [[Mao Zedong]]'s removal from his leadership positions. He was replaced as commissar of the army by [[Zhou Enlai]]. Mao was not restored to central leadership until the [[Zunyi Conference]] during the [[Long March]] (in January 1935).
