Every time before Tiananmen

National Day parade

It can arouse the passion of millions of people and attract the most viewers in front of the TV.

As an extremely grand military ceremony, parade is an important form of national prestige, military prestige and even Hao Ran's righteousness.

From the founding ceremony of new China until 1959, military parade was held on national day.

Since then, the parade has been suspended for 25 years mainly because of political reasons. As a result, the military style and the image of servicemen have been negatively affected.

In March 1981, when listening to the report of the North China drill, Deng Xiaoping pointed out: "parade is good for the army in the sight of the people. Now the people do not know what the army is doing."

As an important window for the display of achievements in national defense construction, people can understand the brilliant achievements of China's armed forces in the "watching" by watching parade, and see some bright spots in the contrast between the past and the past.

The high profile of the troops under review is indeed rare in the world.

The strength of a country's military strength is mainly embodied in two aspects: "human weapons".

The military parade can not only show the military members and the spirit and features, but also show the level of the armed forces. In some way, they can see the fighting capacity of an army.

In the past, the military powers in the world, such as Germany and the Soviet Union, were extremely powerful, playing the deterrent role of many countries.

As a maritime power, Britain and the United States once had a grand sea parade. Its land parade level was not flattered.

I have witnessed the National Day parade in the capital of the United States. The officers and soldiers are not very regular. The audience is whistling and shouting. It feels like watching a happy carnival.

Although the United States emphasizes the success of high technology and does not attach much importance to the bravery and struggle of the first line officers and soldiers, it is not difficult to understand the mental outlook of its troops through parade and rethink the performance of its officers and men in the Korean, Vietnamese and other land battlefields.

In 1950s, China started on the basis of poverty and blankness. Every year, the parade showed new progress in the level of clothing, arms and queues of the army, thereby enhancing military prestige at home and abroad, encouraging the people of the whole country, and greatly deterring the reactionary forces.

When entering the 60s, when the so-called "anti revisions and preventive repairs" were carried out, the parade was criticized as "formalism". During the national day, when the army marched to the front row of Tiananmen, they were able to speak volumes, and the pace was uneven. Strictly speaking, they could only be regarded as a parade but not a parade, which reflected the misunderstanding of the army's construction.

At that time, most people at home and abroad could not see the display of China's military power, and some arrogant ignorant people also showed contempt.

In March 1981, Deng Xiaoping pointed out: "it can not be said that parade and separation are formalism, which is of educational significance for the cultivation of the army's style of work.

Now some troops are lazy and not like a sample. I want to make a parade in due time.

Following the exercise of parade in North China, in December of that year, the central government decided to resume the National Day parade officially on National Day 35th anniversary.

When the National Day parade took place in 1984, the kind of military integrity and rare scale was pmitted to the whole world through television. Especially the first strategic missile showed the third longest distance strategic nuclear strike force after the US and Soviet Union, which immediately caused great shock.

When I visited the United States in the same year, I talked with some Chinese people about this. They said that before the "Double Tenth Festival" every year, pro Taiwan people had to organize demonstrations in some Chinese communities, but when they saw the National Day parade broadcast on television, most of the people were ashamed of themselves. The so-called "10th National Day Parade" is no longer possible.

People who understand the international parade look at the parade before the Tiananmen. They acknowledge that there are several "the world's most" - the largest public square in the world and the largest number of people.

In addition, the width of Chang'an Avenue makes the walking parade team need 25 people and one row, and the row is also the most wide in the world. This makes the requirement of tidy neatly the highest in the world.

Through watching 1984, 1999 National Day parade and preview of this year's parade, and comparing the international parade, the travellers all agree that although China's military parade is derived from the Soviet Union, it has self innovation, and its current level is arguably the first in the world.

The uniformity and momentum of military parade reflects not only the patriotism and heroism of the army and the people, but also the cultivation of officers and men's style of work.

The scattered troops on the playground are often chaotic.

In the parade, the ranks of thousands of people in uniform pace will also have the spirit of "one heart and one mind" with strict obedience and loyalty and dedication. Therefore, the most important thing to watch in parade is to see the soul of the army through the appearance of officers and men.

Looking at the changes and development strategies of the whole army from the composition of the troops being read

The troops participating in the National Day review are representatives of the national armed forces, including the PLA active force, the militia reserve personnel and the armed police force. Among them, the PLA also refers to the four armed forces, namely, land, sea, air force and second artillery.

Due to the historical tradition and the economic foundation of the country, the PLA has long adhered to the development strategy of taking the army as the main body. The Past National Day Parades also took the infantry unit and the army equipment squads as the main body, and the air formation formation and the naval detachment were often playing a supporting role.

In the world, the modern air and sea army is compared with the army, known as "aristocratic military".

A rifle equipped with an infantry usually costs only a few hundred dollars, and the purchase price of a new armored vehicle is in the millions of dollars. The cost of a new fighter is 100 million yuan, and the cost of the large destroyer is more than a few billion yuan.

The great changes in the international situation since the end of the cold war, coupled with the continuous enhancement of China's comprehensive national strength, have made the PLA a relatively strong strength in recent years to develop the Second Artillery Force, which is a naval and air force and a strategic missile.

These characteristics have been preliminarily shown in the National Day parade in 1999. This year's National Day parade will show a few increase or decrease in comparison with the previous two parades. The number of teams on foot decreases and the equipment side teams increase; the army team decreases, and the naval and air forces and artillery teams increase.

According to the figures now released, there are 56 teams in the National Day parade this year, of which 14 are on foot, 30 for teams and 12 for air.

In contrast, there were 52 teams in the National Day parade in 1999, including 17 walking teams, 25 vehicle teams and 10 air echelons.

According to the parade time and the width of Chang'an Avenue, the military strength of the ten military parades after the founding of new China is generally more than 10 thousand people (slightly increasing or decreasing in individual years). This year, the number of people going to see the army will be slightly less than that of the past, and the largest number of weapons and equipment appeared.

There is another interesting phenomenon in this year's National Day parade, that is, when the total number of troops has been reduced, the number of female soldiers has increased.

During the National Day parade, only army female soldiers and female militia teams took part in the National Day parade. This time, while retaining the female militia team, they also visited the detachment of women and armed forces. They also first appeared the formation of the first batch of fighter pilots called the "flowers of the air force", which made a homemade jet, and were expected to become a beautiful military scenery.

When emphasizing national defense, this will undoubtedly help women to play the role of "half sky". At the same time, it shows that the role of women in modern information warfare is also increasing.

In the war of cold weapons, women are difficult to fight with men because of their physical strength. All kinds of legends such as Mulan and Yang men are actually imaginary. Modern wars are mostly "out of sight" operations, while women manipulate electronic information equipment.

At present, the proportion of women in the world's developed countries is bigger and bigger, and they often take part in parade, but they are not required to walk the same way as male soldiers, only playing the role of "vase".

The unique feature of Chinese women's soldiers is that they carry out queuing and physical training as well as male soldiers. This shows not only the traditional virtues of women's hardships and hardships, but also the new warriors of Post-80's and post-90's, who can stand arduous training and willpower training.

During the parade, new clothes also made a noticeable highlight.

The participants were wearing four series of 07 military uniforms, including formal dress, regular clothes, training clothes and logo costumes. This shows that the Chinese military uniform has been in line with the international advanced level, changing the unidirectional practice of the uniform and uniform of the year, which fully shows that the enhancement of the national financial and scientific research level makes the military uniform more professional.

The number of weapons displayed on the ground is high and there are performance leaps.

This year's national day sees that there are 30 armament teams on the ground. The number of weapons displayed not only exceeds the previous ones, but also has a new leap in performance.

According to the trend of military revolution in today's world, the emphasis of China's military construction is also prominent as other powers, and electronic information equipment has become the focus of enhancing combat effectiveness.

But these "software" are hard to show in parade. People are still looking at the "hardware" of the carrier platform, namely, the most attractive weapons of traditional tanks, artillery, armored vehicles and missiles.

Information equipment such as new radar and satellite communications will be placed on the platform of these weapons to participate in the reading, becoming a less noticeable but powerful "soft battle force" hero.

Since the end of the cold war, the Western powers have not introduced new tanks for more than ten years, and the artillery models have not improved much, but through the information pformation of the original equipment, the combat capability of the western countries has a "leap from generation to generation".

The third generation main battle tanks that appeared on National Day parade this year appeared in the parade of Tiananmen square 10 years ago, but at present, the internal equipment has made a qualitative leap, and the protective facilities on the external armor have also been improved.

The vehicle towed artillery has withdrawn from the parade. The artillery is self-propelled artillery and vehicular assault gun, and the 155 mm self propelled grenade is exported to the Middle East after being exported by users.

The appearance of these new equipment also shows that the Chinese army has changed from a large number of regulatory models in the past to focusing on quality and efficiency, and its global mobile capability has greatly increased.

On the National Day 50th anniversary parade, they demonstrated tactical missiles and strategic missile phalanx, and again appeared as an important phalanx on the parade this year. Compared with the "giant" in the parade in 1984, this missile is characterized by "smaller size and greater power."

As an insider, it can be seen that the long-range strategic missile can be towed by a motor vehicle to choose the launching position arbitrarily by "guerrilla" method, and it can be erected vertically. Compared with the launching in a fixed shaft, the long-range strategic missile greatly improves the survivability and has the ability to strike second times, that is, it still has the ability to fight back after the first round missile attack.

During the 50th anniversary National Day parade, the number of mobile strategic missiles was relatively small. The military parade not only increased greatly, but also formed a distant, medium and short distance matching system. It also debuted cruise missiles for the first time, indicating the strategic strike of the Chinese Army's nuclear weapons.
