In 1955, the ten founding generals who received the rank of marshal all made great contributions to the victory of the revolutionary war and the founding of New China. Among these ten men, the heroic and fearless exploits made the title of marshal the supreme military honor.
Generals who have attained the rank of marshal enjoy high prestige in the people's army, especially in the first 10 years of the founding of New China, the founding marshal of the National Day military parade was held by the founding marshal as the head of the parade to review the three armed forces.
The dawn of a new nation.
October 1, 1949 marked the birth of New China. On this day, the first National Day military parade was held, with about 19,000 participants. The appearance of the air echelon became the biggest highlight of the parade, announcing that our country has an independent air force. It is worth mentioning that the Air Force flying corps, which participated in the first parade, was also responsible for air alert tasks. In response, Chiang Kai-shek threatened to carry out air strikes, but the heroic people's army was not afraid at all and showed strong national defense strength.
For the first time, the head of the parade was Zhu Laozong, commander-in-chief of the people's army. As the head of the top ten marshals of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he sat in the base camp for a long time and became the right-hand man of Grandpa Mao.
1950-1953: Brilliant achievements and heroism.
The 1950 National Day Parade totaled more than 24,000 people, including the Air Force, Navy, Infantry, Artillery, Motorized Chariots, and Cavalry. Mr. Zhu once again served as the head of the parade, and the heroic posture of the three armed forces showed the world the heroic spirit of the people's soldiers who were not afraid of strong enemies and defended their homes and the country.
The National Day parade from 1951 to 1953 had a total of about 12,000 people. The three parades featured not only jet planes for the first time, but also militia squadrons, public security forces, and eye-catching rocket artillery. The most eye-catching thing is the militia squadron, which was formed by representatives of the militia in the major liberated areas during the War of Liberation, and they were all combat heroes and advanced models.
During this period, the head of the parade was still held by Mr. Zhu, who led the people's army to show a tenacious and heroic image on the international stage with a solid military foundation and outstanding leadership ability.
1954: The opponent of a military power, the marshal changed hands for the first time.
In the 1954 National Day military parade, the head of the parade was General Peng for the first time. General Peng Da ranked second among the ten marshals and was the deputy commander-in-chief of the people's army. He was the only marshal to participate in actual combat after the founding of the country, and faced the military power of the United States imperialist army. Under the command of Mr. Peng, the People's Volunteers fought bravely, defeated the Western powers, and locked the battle line at the 38th parallel.
At the same time, in 1954, Mr. Peng also served as China's first Minister of National Defense, so he became the head of the National Day Parade that year. The total number of parades was about 10,000 people, and the paratroopers made their debut, adding a new and wonderful element to the parade.
1955: The marshal changed hands for the first time, ushering in a new era.
1955 was the first major military parade with the implementation of the military rank system, and the head of the parade was still Mr. Peng. This year, the total number of people is about 10,000. At the same time, the first generation of domestic main battle tanks made their debut, marking the rise of China's manufacturing industry. However, on this day, the heavens were not beautiful, and the team that was reviewed was not afraid of wind and rain and accepted the review of Mr. Peng.
1956-1958: The dawn of a new era.
The National Day military parade in 1956 marked the debut of the domestic brand Jiefang Automobile. This indicates the take-off of China's manufacturing industry. However, the weather was not beautiful, and the parade team was inspected by Mr. Peng in the heavy rain.
The total number of people in the National Day parades in 1957 and 1958 was about 7,000, which was a decrease from before. However, these two military parades have different characteristics from previous ones. The military parade in 1957 attracted many international friends to the Tiananmen Tower. The military parade in 1958 was dominated by militiamen, who were all militia heroes from old revolutionary base areas such as Taihang Mountain and Baiyangdian, showing the feeling that all the people were soldiers.
1959: The marshal changed hands for the first time, and the domestic main battle tank began to show its edge.
The head of the military parade in 1959 was Lin Zong, one of the top ten marshals. The total number of people in this parade is about 10,000. The first generation of domestic main battle tanks made their debut, including other ** equipment, which are basically made in China. However, 1959 also marked the last National Day parade headed by the founding marshal. After that, the duties of the head of the parade were assumed by the leader of the country No. 1.
Behind the glory of the marshal: General Zhu Penglin is at the helm of national defense.
Looking back on the history of the National Day military parade, among the ten marshals of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the leaders of the parade are Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng, and Mr. Lin Shuai. These three marshals have excelled in military strategy and tactics, leading the people's army to stand on top of the world.
The highest honor of the rank of marshal is the best recognition of their outstanding contributions. On the stage of the National Day military parade, they led the army to show bravely, highlighting the rise of our best forces. This history has witnessed our country from the initial period to the emergence and then to the rise of the manufacturing industry, and every military parade is a solemn declaration of national strength.
The end of the marshal's era, the leader of the country took over the parade flag.
Since 1959, the responsibilities of the head of the National Day parade have been taken over by the leader of the country No. 1. This marked the end of the era of the marshal, and the leader of the country took up the banner and continued to lead the country's military cause forward. The marshals wrote a glorious page on the stage of the National Day military parade, and their deeds will forever be engraved on the long scroll of the country's history.
Marshal's Style: A Glorious Page of the National Day Parade Review:
The ten marshals of the founding of the People's Republic of China showed an eye-catching demeanor on the historical stage of the National Day military parade, which not only witnessed the rise of New China, but also vividly portrayed the military strength and the development of the national defense industry.
Looking back on this period of history, I have to marvel at the outstanding leadership of the three marshals, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng, and Lin Shuai. In the post of the head of the parade, they led the people's army to show heroism and won glory for the country. The highest honor of the rank of marshal is not only a commendation for their personal heroic exploits, but also a lofty affirmation of the entire army. From the hard struggle in the early days, to the bloody battles in the war years, and then to the rise of the military industry after the country's independence, every marshal has left his own glorious footprints on the historical stage of the National Day military parade.
In particular, Mr. Peng, as the only marshal who participated in actual combat after the founding of the People's Republic of China, showed extraordinary military talent in the war against Western powers. Under his command, the People's Volunteers defeated the enemy, locked the 38th parallel, and won precious peace time for the country. At the same time, he also served as Minister of Defense in 1954 and made outstanding contributions to the country's national defense construction. Mr. Peng's position as the head of the National Day military parade is a symbol of history and an outstanding representative of the national defense cause.
The history of the military parade is not only a display of military style, but also a witness to the rise of the country. Every military parade is a solemn declaration of national strength and a demonstration of self-confidence in the world. Since the implementation of the military rank system in 1955, the National Day military parade has been inheriting this solemnity. Although the era of the marshal ended in 1959, the country's leader took over the parade and continued to lead the country's military career forward.
The military parade is not only a military performance, but also a comprehensive display of national strength. From more than 19,000 people in the initial period to today's huge lineup, the scale of the parade has continued to grow, reflecting the gradual rise of the country's military power. The gradual substitution of domestically produced military equipment is a manifestation of the rapid development of national defense science and technology. The National Day military parade is a mirror image of a country's comprehensive strength, and every unveiled equipment is the epitome of the country's technology and manufacturing level.
Looking back on this period of history, we should all the more cherish the arduous efforts made in the cause of national defense. The glorious achievements of the marshals are the crystallization of the struggle and sacrifice of generations of soldiers. It is precisely because of these heroic ancestors that we can enjoy peace and tranquility today. At the same time, we should also think about how to better develop the country's national defense in the future and make our national defense more rock-solid.
On this occasion of the National Day military parade, we should have a heart of reverence and pay high tribute to those servicemen who have silently contributed to the peace and tranquility of the country. Their dedication and efforts have built a solid national defense barrier and defended our homeland. Only when the motherland is strong can we live a peaceful life. May we cherish peace, and we also cherish those soldiers who silently guard us.
