The Development of China Military Parade

1949, more than 80 kinds of weapons and equipment from 24 countries and 98 factories 1 10 participated in the first military parade in new China. After the founding of New China, all the military parades witnessed the development of our army's main battle weapons and equipment, and the military parade also became the epitome of the development of our army's weapons and equipment. If the five time and space coordinates of founding ceremony, the 5th anniversary of National Day, 60th anniversary of National Day, 50th anniversary of National Day and 60th anniversary of National Day are selected vertically, the military parade clearly explains the development process of China's weapons and equipment from inferiority to superiority, from low to high, and from weakness to strength. It embodies the strength of the army, and at the same time, it completely and transparently prints the development process of the nine-type main battle equipment of the Chinese army on every square brick in Tiananmen Square.

Infantry light weapons

1 infantry light weapons: localization within ten years

Founding ceremony: 13 caliber.

In the parade phalanx in founding ceremony, the firearms of the troops being read are mainly Stern submachine guns, Tom submachine guns, March 8th rifles, Mao Se pistols and various machine guns. These firearms come from the arsenals of the United States, the Soviet Union, Japan, Britain, the Czech Republic, Poland and the Kuomintang. Some can't even find the exact place of origin, and the manufacturing and service life of the equipment is also very chaotic, ranging from 6.5 mm, 7.62 mm, 7.7 mm and 7.92 mm to 1 1.43 mm * *.

The Fifth Anniversary of National Day: Lei Feng's "Bobosha"

The military parade on the 5th anniversary of the National Day was marked by Bobosha -43 in the standard portrait of Comrade Lei Feng, and the development of light weapons in China began to move towards unification. With the deepening of Sino-Soviet military cooperation, the famous Bobosha -4 1/43 submachine gun came to China saturated with the bonfire smoke to resist US aggression and aid Korea. In China, the imitation Bobosha -4 1 submachine gun is called Type 50 submachine gun, the imitation Bobosha -43 submachine gun is called Type 54 submachine gun, and Comrade Lei Feng holds Type 54 submachine gun in the standard portrait.

10 National Day: the "5" of the third child

On the anniversary of National Day 10, the first generation of domestic "5" prefix firearms was inspected. Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, type 56 assault rifle and type 56 class machine gun have become the most basic weapons of the army infantry class. At that time, this "three-five" combination made our army rank first in the world in terms of firepower density, accuracy, distance and killing power, and occupied the position of individual melee weapon for nearly 40 years.

50th anniversary of National Day: Small caliber light weapons

Type 95 5.8 mm small caliber automatic rifle first appeared in the infantry equipment read on the 50th anniversary of the National Day. This is the first time to equip the Chinese army with small-caliber light weapons after the first two generations of 7.62mm light weapons with the prefix "5" and "8".

60th anniversary of National Day: diversified development according to different needs

At the 60th National Day military parade, China's army will show the world the latest achievements in the development of light weapons-5.8mm 03 automatic rifle, 95B 5.8mm short automatic rifle, 05 5.8mm submachine gun and 07 18.4mm automatic shotgun, which will appear in the reading equipment for the first time. The appearance of these four weapons shows that our army not only attaches great importance to the development of basic guns from a high starting point, but also can carry out in-depth and diversified development according to different needs on the basis of basic guns, and can also meet the needs of combatants in different positions with high standards in configuration, marking the end of the extensive mode of equipping the three armed forces with one gun nationwide.

tank

Tanks: the world's top level under the rolling track.

Founding ceremony: Hero.

Tank is a marine weapon with the strongest comprehensive combat capability and a symbol to measure the combat effectiveness of an army unit. For 60 years, the king of China's army came from nothing. After rapid development from a high starting point and long-term wandering for 20 years, it finally jumped to the forefront of three generations and realized the integration of information and armor.

Led by Japanese-made Hero 97, founding ceremony's tanks passed Tiananmen Square, Japanese-made Hero 97 and American-made M3 and M4 in turn. These captured tanks became the hero of the new China in defeating the invaders and establishing a new army, and also the starting point of the mechanization of China's army.

The 5th anniversary of National Day: Soviet-made T-34 medium tank-the postwar generation.

The tank read on the 5th anniversary of the National Day is an imported Soviet T-34 medium tank. 1950, China purchased 300 T-34s and 60 IS2 tanks from the Soviet Union, which provided heavy assault weapons for China's army for the first time. The introduction of T-34 tanks has greatly improved the army's heavy armored assault capability, ranking among the top in the world in terms of the development level of tank weapons worldwide.

National day 10 anniversary: 59 style-catch up with the trend

10 On the National Day, a 59-type medium tank imitating the Soviet T-54A appeared in the Tiananmen parade ground. T-54A tank was the most advanced main battle tank of the Soviet Union at that time. The successful imitation of Type 59 tank made the domestic king of land warfare stand at a higher starting point once it came out. Type 59 tank is the first generation of our army's main battle tank, and it is also the first generation in the world to reach this technical level after World War II. Compared with American M48, British "captain of 100" and Japanese 6 1 tanks of the same generation, Type 59 tank has advantages in firepower, maneuverability and protection. Within the year of 10, the development of our army's main battle tanks reached the world-class level, from founding ceremony's Type 97, T-34 in the 5th anniversary to Type 59 in the 10th anniversary of 10. This speed is a miracle for an army that has independently developed and produced equipment for only 10 years.

50th Anniversary of National Day: Type 99-Three Generations Level in the World

On the 50th anniversary of the National Day, three generations of Type 99 tanks appeared in costumes, indicating the technical gap between our army and tanks in developed countries such as Leopard 2, M1A12, T-80, leclerc and 90. Is shrinking rapidly. The western turret of Type 99 tank with tail cabin is the symbol that China got rid of Russian T series model. The appearance of Type 99 tank ended the mixed equipment pattern of the first generation (59/69) and the second generation (79/88) of the Army, which indicated that the equipment level of China's main battle tanks had reached the third generation level in the world. From founding ceremony's inexperience, to the development of the 5th anniversary and 10 anniversary, to the mixing of the two generations in the 35th anniversary of the National Day, and then to the 50th anniversary, China's army finally equipped the domestic third-generation tanks with the same technical level as developed countries, and stopped at the time coordinate of the third-generation tanks. In retrospect, history seems to have solidified for 20 years.

60th anniversary of National Day: Crushing the world's top level under the track.

On the 60th anniversary of the National Day, the improved version of the new main battle tank will be unveiled again. This new type of tank, armed with the latest contemporary technology, and the active armor around the turret and car body, although blurring the original outline of the tank, greatly improve the protection ability. The armor-piercing ability of the new 125mm main gun is better than that of the previous idol-class M 1A 1/2 and "Leopard" 2. On the two gold standards of attack and defense, the new tank has crushed the world's top level under the track.

cannon

3 artillery: the wonderful balance of range and power

Founding ceremony: From the battlefield.

As far as the weapons and equipment of China People's Liberation Army are concerned, it has been positioned as guerrilla equipment of "millet plus rifle" since the Red Army period. Before 1949, it basically had nothing to do with heavy weapons. The firepower striking equipment unveiled at the military parade in founding ceremony mainly consisted of Japanese-made 75mm wild guns and American105mm howitzers.

The fifth anniversary of the National Day: Soviet heavy artillery

In the military parade on the 5th anniversary of the National Day, artillery was made by many countries, realizing the basic unification of Soviet artillery, which was a historic leap of the army's fire attack weapon. Soviet-made M-43120mm mortar, 57mm anti-tank gun, 76.2mm cannon, M-38122mm howitzer, M-37152mm cannon howitzer, BM- 13 rocket launcher and CY-3 rocket launcher.

National day 10 anniversary: the "5" of the fourth child in China

The reading equipment of the National Day 10 anniversary parade is actually the localization display of Soviet-style equipment on the 5th anniversary of the National Day. It mainly includes four kinds of domestic guns with the prefix "5": Type 54122mm howitzer,122mm cannon, Type 56152mm howitzer and Type 59130mm cannon. The localization of these heavy artillery indicates that in the modern history of China, the "foreign artillery" which existed for a hundred years began to retreat, and the China army began to build a new fire attack system with domestic artillery.

50th anniversary of National Day: Precision Strike of Artillery Weapon System

In the equipment read on the 50th anniversary of the National Day, the maneuvering mode of artillery has not changed much, but the internationally accepted standard caliber 155mm has been accepted by Russian troops, which indicates that China's firepower strike weapons have begun to turn to the Soviet-Russian model and move towards international standards. During this period, artillery weapons began to introduce precision strike capability, and laser-guided artillery shells of various calibers were installed in the army, and the effectiveness of artillery fire assault was obviously improved.

60th anniversary of National Day: 52 times caliber revolution

In the military parade on the 60th anniversary of the National Day, two important directions of self-propelled artillery weapons will be realized for the first time: long range and great power. 300 mm rocket launcher is a new type of long-range strike weapon of the Army, and its basic performance is equivalent to M270 in the United States and tornado in Russia. The new 155mm howitzer used a 52-caliber barrel for the first time, which made China artillery join the "52-caliber revolution" of the world artillery, and achieved a high degree of balance in two important indicators: range and power.

naval vessel

4 warships: going deep blue

Founding ceremony military parade, although it was composed of two platoons, Northeast Naval School and East China Naval Fleet, was praised by Chairman Mao as "the navy walks like a man", but the equipment of the navy was zero. In the subsequent 12 National Day military parade, the size of the naval cadets and sailors' team continued to grow, but the naval equipment was still not read. However, during this period, China's navy's weapons and equipment developed rapidly behind the scenes.

1949, 1 1 year1October, the first naval surface warship unit was established in Nanjing, with captured yellow gunboats as the main weapon. In 1960s, China began to manufacture torpedo speedboats and missile speedboats by itself, initially forming an integrated layout of torpedo boats. 1975 12, China's first self-built missile frigate was delivered to the army for use. 197 1 12, the first guided missile destroyer built in China was delivered to the army. In the late 1970s, naval surface ships entered a stage of rapid development, and the second and third generation guided missile destroyers, frigates, new missile speedboats, large landing ships, minesweepers and ocean-going integrated supply ships were equipped with troops one after another.

On the 50th anniversary of the National Day military parade, naval ship-to-air missiles and fighter jets made their debut. The naval equipment read mainly includes two types of ship-to-air missiles and two types of anti-ship missiles, and the domestic "Flying Leopard" sniper bomber of naval aviation also flew over Tiananmen for the first time.

Anti-ship missiles and ship-to-air missiles, which will be read in the 60th anniversary of the National Day, are new weapons equipped with new ships, especially long-range anti-ship missiles, which greatly expand the scope of China Navy's anti-ship combat capability and further improve its over-the-horizon attack capability. The vertically-launched anti-aircraft missiles enabled the China Navy to have regional air defense capability for the first time. These two weapons show that the navy can hold a longer sword, go deep into the ocean, and get close to the deep blue with stricter protection.

Air defense weapon

5 air defense weapons: from machine guns to missiles

Founding ceremony: Helpless dual-use.

The most typical air defense weapon in founding ceremony's military parade is the Japanese-made 37mm anti-aircraft gun. During this period, China's army did not have special air defense weapons, and the basic means of attacking air targets was still light weapons in the hands of infantry. Air-to-air shooting of rifles and machine guns is the main means of air defense operations. There is no doubt that this air defense capability is imposed on light weapons.

The Fifth Anniversary of the National Day: the Coordination of Lights and Guns

On the 5th anniversary of the National Day, Soviet-made M-39 37mm antiaircraft gun, M- 13 85mm antiaircraft gun and searchlight formed the main force of air defense weapons, which raised the operational height of China's air defense weapons to 3,000m and 8,000m. When shooting at low-altitude targets at night, searchlights cooperate with anti-aircraft guns to form an air defense mode combining shooting and shooting, and targets entering at night and at low altitude are shot down by searchlights.

10 national day: jump to an altitude of ten thousand meters.

In the national day 10 anniversary parade, the artillery team with the caliber below 100mm was cancelled, and only the radar searchlight team composed of 100mm anti-aircraft guns and radar searchlights was accepted. The anti-aircraft gun 100 mm was added, and the air defense height was raised to 13000 m again. The dual guidance of radar and searchlight has increased the probability of annihilation, and the gun era of air defense weapons has reached its peak.

50th Anniversary of National Day: Multi-level Strike, Combination of Bomb and Gun

Among the equipment read for the 50th anniversary of the National Day, all the low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude, mid-low-altitude and mid-high-altitude air defense missiles were unveiled. S-300, Hongqi -2, Hongqi -7 and Hong Ying -5 have fully demonstrated the multi-level strike capability of China's air defense missiles, which indicates that China has become an air defense power, and a barrage of high-performance third-generation fighters has been woven over China.

60th anniversary of the National Day: the combination of air defense and anti-missile

On the 60th anniversary of the National Day, the display of air defense weapons will present a large air defense pattern combining air defense with anti-missile. Three kinds of domestic vertical launch missiles have the ability to attack aircraft and missiles.

The installation of ship-borne vertical launching system is a revolution in the operational mode of ship-borne air defense missiles. This kind of vertically launched missile is in a ready state, without loading and aiming, with short reaction time and high emissivity, and can be launched in all directions without blind areas. With the appearance of vertical launching mode, the air defense capability of our surface ships has expanded from single-ship air defense to formation air defense, and it has regional air defense capability for the first time.

warcraft

Six combat aircraft: two former Qi Fei, to build China air combat system.

Founding ceremony: As long as you can fly -P5 1

In founding ceremony, the Japanese army has more than 0/00 aircraft of various types, of which only 58 can fly in the sky and less than 20 can fight, and they are mainly old models made in the United States and China. Due to the limited number of 17 aircraft being read, when the ground troops being read pass Tiananmen Square, they can only fly repeatedly to set off the atmosphere. The U.S. P-5 1 Mustang fighter has the best technical condition and the strongest combat capability, and has been given the dual special mission of reading and air alert, becoming the only combat aircraft of China Air Force flying over Tiananmen Square with bullets.

10 national day: high starting point-歼 5

On the anniversary of the National Day 10, the reading equipment of the Air Force has undergone tremendous changes, and four domestic J-5 fighters that copied MIG 17 flew over Tiananmen Square. The J-5 fighter is a high subsonic jet fighter with single seat and single engine. This kind of aircraft, which seems to be very backward now, was a great leap in China's aviation weapons and equipment at that time, and it was the starting point of China's modern air force weapons and equipment. After a short succession to the propeller era, the 歼 5 took less than 10 years to make the weapons and equipment of China Air Force embark on the development path of foreign air force weapons and equipment for 50 years. ○5 upgraded the equipment of China Air Force, and entered the jet age together with the air powers such as the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France.

50th Anniversary of National Day: Three Generations of Foreign Aid-Su -27/ Bomb Oil 6

During the 50th National Day military parade, China's wandering air force equipment jumped to the third generation level with the introduction of Su -27. The domestic 歼 8Ⅱ fighter is equipped with over-the-horizon air-to-air missiles, which forms the domestic over-the-horizon attack capability for the first time.

Although H -6 flew over Tiananmen Square again after 15, its flying quality and combat capability have been greatly improved. The H -6 aircraft in the aerial echelon refueling and receiving formation is the first aerial tanker exhibited in China. The appearance of this accompanying support mode has greatly increased the combat radius of the fighter plane, and has become the symbolic equipment for China Air Force to transform into both offensive and defensive.

60th anniversary of National Day: 歼 10, 歼 appeared 1 1.

In the aerial echelon of the 60th anniversary of the National Day, except for the air show team, fighters under the J-7 are no longer eligible for reading. Fighters such as J-10, J-1 1 and J -7A have all entered the second and a half generation level, and domestic third-generation aircraft have become the main models. The read airborne early warning aircraft has raised the operational support of the Air Force to a higher level. The service of this airborne early warning aircraft, which is equivalent to 7-8 ground radar stations, marks the first time that the China Air Force has an efficient, all-round and wide-ranging air command capability. Two pre-Qi Fei missions marked the initial establishment of China's air combat system.

strategic missile

Strategic missiles: Nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons cover the whole world.

The east wind is shadowless.

1964 65438+1October 16, China's first atomic bomb exploded successfully; 1966101On October 27th, Dongfeng -2 missile, the first missile with a nuclear warhead, successfully conducted the joint flight test of missile and atomic bomb. 1967 June 17, China's first hydrogen bomb exploded successfully. During the period from founding ceremony to the National Day 1 1 military parade, strategic missiles were still being forged.

Short-range attack

Until the military parade on the 35th anniversary of the National Day, the cold light of Dongfeng missile has been hidden deep in the mountains of China. Although there is no trace, it is like a rainbow. After nearly 20 years of development, Dongfeng series nuclear missiles have achieved medium-range coverage of 3000-4000 kilometers. These missiles can be on duty in solid silos or launched from fixed launch positions. The three most representative models of "Dongfeng" series were publicly displayed for the first time in the weapons team that was read on the 35th anniversary of the National Day. If the "China Flying Fish" missile marching in the naval parade is a proud weapon, then the strategic missile is a weapon that shocked the whole world. The first generation of intercontinental ground-to-ground strategic missiles are read, with a range of nearly 10,000 kilometers, strong penetration ability and strong damage ability, and can carry out efficient nuclear counterattack operations. From founding ceremony to the 35th anniversary of the National Day, strategic weapons appeared in Tiananmen Square for the first time, which is a sign that China's military strength has changed from big to strong, indicating that our army not only has a strong conventional strike force, but also has a strong strategic deterrent capability.

Oil well killer

On the 50th anniversary of the National Day military parade, China's strategic missile force displayed four missile teams, and China's campaign tactical missiles, strategic nuclear missiles and intercontinental missiles made their debut. Compared with the 35th anniversary of the National Day, the main dimensions of the missiles under review have become significantly smaller, and solid rocket engines and mobile launching methods are widely used, which indicates that China's nuclear missiles can complete the assault on predetermined targets on a global scale without relying on fixed positions.

Mobile strike global coverage

During the military parade on the 60th anniversary of the National Day, missile weapons followed the strike force system with both nuclear and conventional capabilities, the penetration capability of nuclear warheads was further enhanced, and the conventional strike capability was significantly improved. The conventional cruise missile, which will be read for the first time, is an important weapon for our army's long-range precision strike. The hit accuracy of the missile has reached the meter level, which not only has the ability to select targets, but also has the ability to select target components. The whole trajectory of cruise missile is only 100 meters or even tens of meters from the ground, which means that it can only fly in the radar blind area, and the enemy's huge air defense detection system may not be found at all. Even the United States, which has advanced early warning technology, believes that cruise missiles are the most difficult weapon to defend. From the Gulf War to today, in less than 20 years, our army's long-range precision strike has ended the mode of "holding high and hitting high", which is dominated by ballistic missiles, and entered the era of "meter-level" precision strike with different attack trajectories and different damage effects.

After 60 years' development, China's main battle weapons and equipment have been 1949 made in the world, and China's elite in the 60th anniversary of the National Day. A strong motherland and a strong army have become an immortal symbol, which has been integrated into the 60th birthday of the people of China. History will remember 2009.

As for the activities of the float parade in recent years, 1999 and 2009 have both been held on a large scale. However, the previous military parade did not have this link.
