The five main forces of the three fields and the four fields: perseverance and change in the torrent of military reform
In the glorious history of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the five main forces of the Third Field Army (Sanye) and the Fourth Field Army (Siye) were the blades and banners on the battlefield. However, with the changes of the times and the advancement of military modernization, these troops who have made outstanding military achievements have to face the baptism of 11 military reforms. In the course of this long process of reform, some units were dismantled or merged, while others were successfully retained with firm conviction and tenacious fighting spirit.
The five main forces of Sanye came from the smoke of the Liberation War, and each number carried the blood and sacrifice of countless soldiers. The 20th, 21st, 23rd, 24th, and 26th armies fought bravely and skillfully on the battlefield and made many meritorious contributions, but in the tide of military reform, they also had to face the adjustment of the establishment system and personnel changes.
The same is true of the five main forces of the four fields. The 38th, 39th, 40th, 41st and 42nd armies showed their tenacious will to fight and outstanding tactical literacy in the war of liberation, but they also had to accept new challenges and changes in the torrent of military reform.
In these 11 military reforms, the five main forces of the three fields and the four fields have undergone a transformation from columns to armies and from corps to group armies. Every reform is accompanied by painful adjustments, and every adjustment tests the will and determination of these troops. However, in this long process of reform, four units managed to retain it with great strength and firm conviction.
Sanye's 26th Army, this unit has always maintained tiger-like combat effectiveness in the military reform. They are not only brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, but also strict with themselves in training and constantly improving their own quality. Their tenacity and perseverance have made them the backbone of the Chinese military in the new era.
The 38th Army of Siye, this unit has always maintained a high degree of vigilance and combat effectiveness in the military reform. They are constantly adapting to new forms of warfare and operational needs, and are improving their rapid reaction capability and mobility. Their acumen and courage have enabled them to become a modern army with a high degree of mobility and information-based combat capabilities.
The 39th Army of Siye, this unit has always maintained a strong fighting spirit and high morale in the military reform. They are constantly tempering their combat capabilities in training and exercises, and improving their fire support and long-range strike capabilities. Their bravery and tenacity make them a steel army capable of charging into battle on the battlefield.
The 41st Army of Siye, this unit has always maintained a high degree of cohesion and combat effectiveness in the military reform. Through constant actual combat tests and exercises, they have enhanced their ability to coordinate operations and to conduct information-based operations. Their unity and cooperation have made them a modern army that can cope with all kinds of complex battlefield environments.
The reason why these four units have been able to stand out and remain is not only because of their brilliant achievements in history, but also because of their strong strength and firm belief in the new era. They have always kept in mind the mission and responsibility of military personnel, and have contributed their strength to defending national sovereignty and safeguarding world peace.
However, in these 11 military reforms, we have also seen some units being dismantled or merged because they could not adapt to the new forms of warfare and operational needs. This has left us with a profound warning: On the road to military modernization, only by constantly innovating and adapting can we remain invincible.
Looking back at history, we are proud of those troops who have made great achievements for New China; Looking to the future, we look forward to the fact that these remaining troops will continue to contribute to the prosperity of the country and the nation. At the same time, we should also think about how to continuously improve our combat capability and quality level in the light of the new form of warfare and operational needs, so as to meet the challenges of future wars.
So, among the four units that have been retained after the 11 military reforms, how do you think they have stuck to their original aspirations and maintained strong combat effectiveness in the reforms? What lessons can be learned from their successful experiences and lessons for other troops? Let us explore these issues together and contribute our wisdom and strength to the future development of the Chinese military.
