Recently, a large wave of cold air has begun to gather in Siberia, seemingly to blow thunder at China. And in everyone's shopping cart, there should already be a lot of large cotton jackets and cotton pants. Then the time is pushed forward by several decades, when it was still the period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, our soldiers, what did they test to resist the cold?
First of all, it is divided into the National Army and the Eighth Route Army, which is the government army of that year, with certain industrial support, and its weapons and equipment and military supplies are insufficient compared to the top, but there is more than enough. Therefore, they have their own standard military uniforms, only to see whether their superior officers have a conscience.
Compared with the Nationalist army, the Eighth Route Army, which has always held out from behind the enemy and mostly uses the deep mountains as its base, naturally does not have such good conditions as them. Most of them wear thin clothes, one worn for a year. Every winter, many soldiers are frostbitten.
And even the thin clothes were almost the style of the national army at the beginning. It's just that he adds an armband to his left arm that says his army to show the difference. The cadre style is only two more pockets than the soldier. Even in tough times, soldiers had to make their own cameo tailors and make their own uniforms.
As for cotton, the Japanese army used war in China to feed the war, and plundered cotton and grain on a large scale. The large-scale winter military training in the history of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was also a choice of helplessness. Because whether it is the national army or the eighth road, there is a great shortage of cotton, if it is not active, it is not known how many soldiers will be killed or wounded.
However, in the battle with the Japanese army, they also captured a lot of supplies when they were victorious. This must include cotton clothing, which is not a disposable consumable after all. It is reasonable to say that the domestic army should be able to put on the warmth immediately after capturing these cotton coats. But in fact, many troops at that time chose to burn it, why?
In fact, there are two kinds of situations, one is when the war cannot be stopped for a while. After defeating a Japanese unit and capturing their supplies. At this time, we can only urgently collect some necessary materials, such as guns, ammunition and medicines.
And the Japanese coat, even if it was urgently needed by the soldiers at that time, would not be taken away. Because in times of war, clothing is actually the best way to distinguish factions. At this time, in the war period, if you wear Japanese military clothing, it is easy to distinguish between enemies and me, and you are regarded as a Japanese army by your own side.
At that time, General Lin Biao was mistaken for an enemy shot by the sentry because he was wearing the coat of the Japanese army, so the clothes of the Japanese army were warm and would not let the soldiers get on their bodies. And they can't take it with them, because the military coat is really not easy to carry. With the idea that the Japanese army could not come back and pick them up, the captured military coats would basically be burned.
The second situation is a complete victory, at which time the captured military coats can naturally be used as booty and slowly removed. The discipline of the army is that after the materials are captured, they are uniformly handed over and distributed. Of course, the military coat is the same, and some of the military coats that are not much different from our army will be distributed to the soldiers on the spot.
Let them continue to sew the armbands, and then sew the logo of our army. Some military coats with relatively large differences will be uniformly withdrawn to the base areas. Then let the factories in the base areas reprocess them into the style of our army's military uniforms, which will not only solve the risk of materials, but also avoid the situation in which the enemy and I are not distinguished.
