Our army used to have a soft spot for booty, and this situation continued until the 1962 self-defense counterattack. But with the change of times, when our army began to have its own weapons and equipment, the situation began to change somewhat.
In the past, the seizures on the battlefield were an important source of replenishment of weapons and equipment for our army, and the Red 25th Army was a typical example. They benefited from the equipment supplied by the Northeast Army, and their weaponry was more advanced than that of the rest of the Red Army.
However, with the development of the times, our army began to gradually have its own standard weapons and no longer completely depended on the enemy's equipment. This also means that the dependence of our army on booty is gradually weakening.
In battle, in addition to destroying the living forces of the enemy, our army also began to pay more attention to the weapons in the hands of the enemy. For example, in some battles, Red officers and soldiers stared at Japanese weapons, hoping to get more loot.
Through cooperation with advanced weapons suppliers, the Red 25 Army received a lot of satisfaction and even created pistol regiments. This kind of fast and slow machine played an important role in the Red Army's Long March.
In general, with the gradual improvement of our army's weapons and equipment, our dependence on war trophies has gradually weakened, and our army has paid more attention to the upgrading and development of its own weapons and equipment to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops.
