Changes In Military Uniform Of The Chinese People'S Liberation Army

Changes in military uniform of the Chinese people's Liberation Army

The most frequent occurrence on the Internet in these two days is the news of the 70 years' victory in the war of resistance against Japan. We welcome this joyful day with great excitement and cherish the memory of the martyrs who paid blood and life for the victory of the revolution.

Memories of the past are always present in our minds.

The most impressive military uniform of our generation is the Yellow army uniform. Whenever we think about and mention the PLA's uncle, we naturally think of the Yellow army uniform, simple and generous and kindly.

Of course, compared with today's uniform, it is neither fashionable nor beautiful.

In the history of the Chinese people's Liberation Army, three military uniforms have been replaced. Let's take a look at what kind of uniform our people's Liberation Army has worn.

The first batch of uniform

Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army Uniform

That is, the military uniform during the democratic revolution.

In August 1927, the Communist Party of China led the uprising of 2 thousand people who had the second front army of the former National Revolutionary Army in Nanchang. The uprising army still used the original numbers to dress the National Revolutionary Army and add a red scarf.

In September of the same year, the Autumn Harvest Uprising was held at the border between Hunan and Jiangxi provinces. Most of the participants were peasants' self defense forces, workers and peasants' volunteers, and they wore civilian clothes of farmers and workers.

The second elements of the former National Revolutionary Army who participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising were still there.

Just wearing a red cloth armband on the arm to show the difference.

During the Jinggangshan struggles, the Red Army's clothes were mainly made by themselves, homemade, local tyrants and battlefields to capture the uniform of the enemy, and there was no uniform pattern.

In 1929, the Red Army made more than 2 yuan for the Red Army costume.

Uniform, hat, and leggings are all made of coarse grey cloth, the tops are tunic suits, the lower garments are suit trousers, and the collar is affixing a pair of parallel quadrangle badges made of red cloth.

After that, he wore black cloth around the red collar.

The Red Army's hat is the octagonal cap with red cloth and five star star badges.

The clothing styles of cadres and soldiers are the same.

After that, the Red Army officers and men put on a brand-new military uniform and held a grand parade in the South Zhai square of Changting city.

This is the first time the Red Army has a uniform and self-made military uniform within the scope of a military force.

After the outbreak of the war of resistance against Japan, the main force of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army and the Red Army guerrilla forces were adapted for the Eighth Army of the National Revolutionary Army (later renamed the Eighteenth Group Army) and the New Fourth Army.

In the fashion style, the left arm is worn with the rectangular "eight road" and the "New Fourth Army" armband, the clothing color is grass yellow, the soldiers are 4 stickers, the cadres are two patch bags and two hanging bags.

In March 1947, our army officially called the "Chinese people's Liberation Army" and cancelled the "eight way" and "New Fourth Army" armbands. The troops wore armbands or badges marked with numbers.

Uniform colors are not uniform, most of them are yellow and the central plains are grey.

In January 1949, the Logistics Department of the Military Commission laid down the uniform dress pattern of the whole army.

The uniform is a grass green cotton plain cloth suit, with a rectangular cloth badge on the chest, printed with the words of the Chinese people's Liberation Army, wearing a liberation hat and a cap badge as "Bayi" red five pointed star, and the military uniform worn by the troops participating in the opening ceremony of the October 1949 parade.

The second batch of uniform

That is the military uniform during the socialist period.

Since the unification of military uniform system in 1950, the Chinese people's Liberation Army has undergone several changes in the ranks of military clothing in 1955 and in 1965, and the formation of a series of multi-functional uniforms in 1987.

"Five" military uniform.

After the founding of new China, the PLA quickly developed from a single armed service to three main arms, namely, land, sea and air.

According to the requirements of the army's normalization construction, the General Logistics Department organized specialized personnel to study the military uniform system and design new ones.

And the cap badge.

In January 4, 1950, the people's Revolutionary Military Commission of the Central People's Government approved the 1950 army uniform ("Five" military uniform) armament unit, so that the PLA first unified the uniform pattern within the whole army.

The "Five" military uniform is distinguished by land, sea and air force cadres, soldiers and women servicemen, and has summer clothing and winter clothes.

The color of the hat and clothing is the same as that of the military uniform.

"55" rank dress.

In January 9, 1953, the General Logistics Department assumed the task of developing military dress.

The costume of military rank is designed according to the characteristics of Chinese clothing, referring to the military uniform styles of the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries.

Since October 1, 1955, it has been called "55" military rank clothing.

The "55" rank dress for the first time broke through the single standard military uniform, which was divided into two categories: formal dress and regular clothing. The dress was distributed to officers above the school level and used for important occasions and visits abroad.

At the same time, there are also Navy warships and soldiers' gowns, as well as military bands, guard of honor, literary troupe, body work team dress, etc.

"65" military uniform.

In the middle of 60s, the military rank system of our army was also negated because of the interference of the "left" ideology of the party and state guiding ideology.

In May 24, 1965, the State Council promulgated the decision on the new cap, collar and some military uniform styles of our army.

All officers and men wear the emancipation hat, wear the all red five pointed star badge and all red collar badge.

Navy uniform style changed to the same as the land and air force, the color is dark grey.

At that time, all army cadres and soldiers, men's and women's servicemen's uniform materials and styles were basically the same. People could only distinguish cadres and soldiers from their pockets and distinguish men's uniform from collar.

This is a retrogression in the history of the development of our military uniform.

"85" military uniform.

In 1985, the new clothing and equipment unit was called "85" uniform.

The "85" military uniform mainly follows the pattern of "55" military uniform.

Officers and soldiers issued additional shirts, issued the big hat and the caps as the working caps. The circular badge badge and the military badge and collar were replaced by the all red five pointed star hat badge and the red collar badge.

Teachers and regimental cadres distributed blended summer clothing, winter clothes and overcoats, while military duty was pure wool.

There are still polyester and cotton fabrics for the cadres and soldiers below the camp.

However, the "85" uniform of military uniform is not uniform, nor does it have a standard training suit. It is still a single military uniform system. It needs further improvement, so there are "87" military uniforms.

Chinese army officer 87 summer uniform

The "87" military uniform consists of three categories of garments, namely, gowns, combat clothing and training clothes, including coats, raincoats and raincoats, as well as those matched with the above garments.

, knitted shirts, underwear, flannel trousers, cotton trousers, cotton vest and all kinds of special clothing.

After a series of military equipment and armaments, the army has changed the backward situation of our military clothing system for a long time, which has had a certain impact on the modernization and regularization of our army.

The third batch of uniform

That is the military uniform in the new era.

An important aspect of the new image of the Chinese people's Liberation Army stationed in Hongkong in July 1, 1997 is that the troops stationed in Hongkong try on the new generation uniform.

The development of the new generation of military uniform is oriented towards twenty-first Century, and the design goal is to start equipping the whole army in 2000.

Its development is mainly based on the following three considerations: first, in 2000, the people of the whole country reached a comfortable standard of living.

It should also be improved. Two, at present, all countries' armies are developing new generation of clothing. Our army's clothing should be in line with the world's military clothing. Three, in order to adapt to the needs of our army's revolution, modernization and regularization, our army should enter the twenty-first Century with a brand new look.

This will not only narrow the gap with the military uniform of the developed countries, adapt to the needs of the military strategy and modernization and regularization in the new era, but also enhance the image and status of our army on the world military stage.

The new generation of military uniform mainly consists of 4 series: dress, clothing, training clothes and work clothes.

In addition, the Chinese people's Armed Police Force also wears a cap emblem, which is made up of national emblem, shield, the Great Wall and pine branches.

In October 1988, the Chinese people's Liberation Army (PLA) introduced a new system of military ranks. Officers and men of the whole army changed their military symbols or flowers, military uniforms and shirts, military technical or professional technical symbols, and officers' gowns and flowers.

In May 1992, civilian cadres distributed uniform clothing and wore civilian cadres to bring flowers.

After November 29, 2004, our army changed into new clothes.

This is the most beautiful costumes that our army has built since the founding of the army, navy and air force. It is also the first time that the Chinese air force has changed its clothing for the first time in 50 years.

In addition to the military attache and guard of honor, our troops are the only troops in the army wearing military uniform.

It looks good, not only because it has changed in style, but more importantly, it wears ribbons, military breasts, name cards and armbands.

Compared with the troops stationed in Hong Kong and Macao, most of our army's costumes are only badges, badges and badges.

Although these garments have greatly enhanced the military image of the whole army, with the development of the world's military and the progress of the society, our army has been monotonous.

It has lagged far behind foreign armies, and can not satisfy the current aesthetic needs.

Under the conditions of information-based operations, due to changes in weapons and equipment reconnaissance means, the demand for clothing is getting higher and higher. Our army's future clothing should be protected from nuclear, biochemical and thermal radiation.

Only in this way can we catch up with the pace of army building in the developed countries and truly connect with the world. I believe that in the near future, the PLA's military uniform will be the most beautiful in the world.
