到1928年10月，宁冈、永新两县的食盐几乎断绝。

Till October of 1928 salt was almost cut off in the two counties of Ninggang and Yongxin.

第一个根据地是井冈山，介在宁冈、酃县、遂川、永新四县之交。

As for the military bases, the first base, the Chingkang Mountains, is at the juncture of four counties, Ningkang, Linghsien, Suichuan and Yunghsin.

整个的罗霄山脉我们都走遍了；各部分比较起来，以宁冈为中心的罗霄山脉的中段，最利于我们的军事割据。

We have traversed the whole range, and a comparison of its different sections shows that the middle section, with Ningkang as its centre, is the most suitable for our armed independent regime.
