=Background=
See preliminary discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters#Revisiting this discussion (Campaign vs. campaign).
See book n-gram stats [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=*+Encirclement+Campaign%2C*+Encirclement+campaign%2C*+encirclement+campaign%2C*+Encirclement+Campaigns%2C*+Encirclement+campaigns%2C*+encirclement+campaigns&year_start=1940&year_end=2008&corpus=15&smoothing=3 here], which show mostly lowercase "encirclement campaign" in these contexts. Dicklyon (talk) 00:50, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
Inserted "the" in a few where it's missing (the Jiangxi Soviet, mostly). The en-dash issue will be considered later. Moving to the hyphen form first guarantees the right redirects at least.
Looks like I missed a few, listed at Encirclement_campaigns#Encirclement_Campaigns_by_location. Those should be even more clear with the plurals. Dicklyon (talk) 15:17, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

- As nom, I obviously support this. It's OK if nobody else has an opinion, but if you do, please say so here. Dicklyon (talk) 19:35, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
- Support. Nom's research appears to show agreement with our Manual of Style, so lc all. Paine Ellsworth, ed. put'r there 05:22, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
