The road to building a new country has a long way to go.

1950 65438+In February, Shanxi Machinery Company successfully trial-produced a 25-horsepower crawler tractor to resist US aggression and aid Korea.

This sensational news not only marked the birth of the first tractor produced by New China itself, but also deeply branded the traces of a war in that era.

19501kloc-0/9, Chinese people's Volunteer Army crossed the Yalu River and went to the front line of Korea under the slogan of "resisting US aggression and aiding Korea and defending the country".

After three years of bloody fighting, the officers and men of the Volunteers defended the security of new China with the victory of the war. Clark, commander-in-chief of the "United Nations Army", admitted in Panmunjom that he was the first general in American history to sign an armistice agreement without winning the war.

Up to now, there are still two sand table models of Shangganling 537.7 highland and 597.9 highland in the history museum of West Point Military Academy. The battle of Shangganling, which seems inexplicable to them, is still being studied by American soldiers.

Behind the victory of the volunteers is the unstoppable vitality of the new China. This is also the source of spiritual and material strength for the soldiers to continue fighting in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

1In July, 953, the first automobile industrial base in New China, Changchun No.1 Automobile Factory, laid the foundation stone on the wasteland in the northeast. The first five-year plan of new China since this year covers industrial projects such as national defense weapons, aerospace, metallurgical machinery, chemical energy and so on.

In that passionate era, new projects were launched almost every day, and almost every city echoed with the roar of machines. The completion of land reform has stimulated the production enthusiasm of hundreds of millions of farmers; China's original railway network was basically restored in a few years, and the completion of trunk lines such as chengdu-chongqing railway made the national railway mileage reach tens of thousands of kilometers; At the same time, a large number of expressways were completed and opened to traffic.

The vibrant and ever-changing new China has brought a series of far-reaching developments and changes to the People's Liberation Army.

A month after the founding of New China, the People's Air Force was established.

Less than a year after the founding of New China, surveying and mapping troops, artillery, armored forces and airborne troops were established one after another.

Since then, engineers, naval aviation, naval submarine force and the second artillery corps have been established one after another.

The equally young People's Navy was founded on the eve of the founding of New China. 1On April 23rd, 949, on the same day that the People's Liberation Army occupied Nanjing, Zhang Aiping, the founding general, announced the establishment of the People's Navy in Baima Temple, Taizhou, Jiangsu, hundreds of miles away from Nanjing.

From scratch, from weak to strong, the People's Liberation Army has gradually developed into a synthetic army with relatively complete arms and services.

From 1 954165438+10 to1February, 955, under the leadership of Zhang Aiping, the People's Liberation Army launched the first joint landing operation across the sea, successfully liberating Jiangshan Island, a growing people's army in the embrace of new China.

The military parade may be the best way for people to truly and intuitively feel the changes of this army year after year-

1949 during the founding military parade, almost all the equipment read was acquired during the war years, and the models were messy, so it was called "made in various countries".

1955 during the military parade, the troops wore the new military uniform after the implementation of the rank system for the first time for review.

1957 military parade, domestic jet bombers and fighters made their debut.

1984 military parade, domestic strategic missiles made their debut, and the planes, missiles, artillery, tanks, armored vehicles and rocket-mine-laying vehicles that were read were basically designed and manufactured by themselves.

1999 During the military parade in the century, more than 90% of the 42 kinds of equipment read were new equipment, and most of them were designed and produced by themselves. High-tech weapons and equipment began to become the main battle weapon of the PLA.

Entering the new century and new stage, the people's army marching on the track of scientific development has achieved a historic leap.

Weapons and equipment pay attention to top-level design, take informatization as the leading factor, and take the road of compound development of mechanization and informatization. The People's Liberation Army has initially established an army equipment system with rapid maneuvering and three-dimensional assault, a naval equipment system with air-sea integration and adaptation to offshore defense operations, an air force equipment system with air-ground integration and both offensive and defensive capabilities, a second artillery equipment system with both nuclear and conventional capabilities and a range connection, and a comprehensive electronic information equipment system.

With the support of the development of the motherland, on the journey of "building an information-based army and winning an information-based war", the people's army is striving to take off …

From 22nd to 26th, the "Peace Mission -2009" Sino-Russian joint anti-terrorism military exercise, which was attended by 2,600 elite officers and men from both sides, was held in shenyang military area command Tao Tao South Contract Tactical Training Base, deep in the vast grassland.

Air suppression is combined with ground attack, and electromagnetic attack is combined with fire breakthrough. Sword refers to the enemies of mankind-ethnic separatist forces, religious extremist forces and violent terrorist forces.

This is the third time that the Chinese and Russian armed forces have held joint anti-terrorism military exercises. This is also the 29th joint exercise with foreign countries since the founding of New China.

Every day, in the blue sky, in the sea, in the missile positions in the deep mountains and forests, and in thousands of training grounds inside and outside the Great Wall, there are always * * * and soldiers bleeding and sweating to defend national peace and people's well-being.

From the Tangshan earthquake to the forest fire in Daxing 'anling, from 1998 to the fight against SARS, from the fight against freezing rain and snow to earthquake relief ... At every critical juncture, the people's soldiers in peacetime always left the hope of life to the masses and the danger of death to themselves, and wrote countless songs that touched China.

The people's army in peacetime constantly honed its ability to defend peace.
