In the history of Chinese automobiles, each brand has its own unique legend. For truck brands, these histories are like old wines, the more you taste them, the more you taste them, and people are intoxicated by them. Today, let's review the manufacturing process of China's first heavy-duty military off-road vehicle, and feel the entrepreneurial spirit of the older generation of hard work, hard work, and perseverance.

When it comes to China's military off-road vehicles, we have to go back to the Sichuan Automobile Factory, the predecessor of SAIC Hongyan as we know it today. In the 60s of the 20th century, in order to cope with the military needs of the country, it was decided to carry out large-scale "three-line construction" in the southwest and northwest. In this grand plan, tens of thousands of workers, cadres, intellectuals, PLA officers and soldiers, and migrant workers gathered here to jointly establish 1,945 enterprises and institutions, and the Sichuan Automobile Factory was one of them.

In the face of difficult conditions and the ardent expectations of the country, these elites from all over the country worked together to finally facilitate the completion of the Sichuan Automobile Factory. In the years that followed, the older generation took the shed as their home and the rice field water as their drink, and began the independent research and development of domestic heavy-duty vehicles in an extremely difficult environment. After unremitting efforts, they successfully trial-produced Hongyan CQ260, Hongyan CQ261 and other models, and finally built China's first high-starting point heavy military off-road vehicle production base. This is not only a huge leap forward for China, but also means that China's first heavy military off-road vehicle was officially born.

At the end of the 70s of the last century, at the critical moment of the Laoshan Battle of the Vietnam counterattack, the Hongyan CQ261 military vehicle was ordered to be in danger. In the face of rugged mountain roads and muddy ground, these 131 military vehicles carried the honor of the country and the hopes of the soldiers, quietly towing artillery and other heavy ** to the front line. Their outstanding performance not only delivered the war supplies in time, but also made a great contribution to the victory of our team. After the war, the People's Liberation Army specially set up a stone monument of "Hongyan Divine Cannon" to commemorate the heroic performance of these military vehicles on the battlefield.

The history of SAIC Hongyan certainly doesn't stop there. In the nearly 59 years since 1965, it has carried countless glories and glories. In the days to come, we will continue to explore the wonderful story of SAIC Hongyan and feel the weight and glory of this history with you. At the same time, you are also welcome to share your understanding and views on SAIC Hongyan, let us work together.
