The origin of red army uniforms

? The origin of red army uniforms

He Miao wrote that in the movie "Sparkling Red Star", the Red Army soldiers wore gray military uniforms with red five-star and red collar, which was both solemn and imposing. But he doesn't know the origin of this uniform. I hope the editor of the history room of People's Education Publishing House can give him an answer. Below, we will meet the requirements of He Miao.

193 1 year1month, chinese soviet republic was proclaimed. In order to train officers and men of the Red Army, the Soviet Union of China and the Central Revolutionary Military Commission established the Central Red Army School. This is the first regular military school of our army. Students are military cadres selected by various units of the Red Army. At that time, there were no uniforms of the Red Army anywhere. The students' clothes are varied, inconsistent and arranged in disorder.

Liu Bocheng is the principal and political commissar of the Central Red Army School. He just graduated from Moscow Advanced Infantry School and Vorontz Military Academy. Soviet military uniforms are unified. Therefore, Liu Bocheng believes that chinese soviet republic was born, and the students of the Central Red Army School represent the image of the Red Army, and their costumes should be unified. However, who will design the Red Army costumes? The question hovered in his mind. When he learned that Zhao Pinsan, director of the Central Red Army School Club, was versatile, he decisively gave him the task of designing Red Army costumes.

Zhao Pinsan is from Xihe Village, Yuci County, Shanxi Province. He was clever since he was a child, and 1925 joined China. After accepting the task, Zhao Pinsan studied it carefully and designed it carefully. At first, he designed with reference to the clothing style of the Soviet Red Army, including a tight top and a large octagonal Lenin hat. This coat is uncomfortable to wear, because it doesn't take into account that most parts of the Soviet Union are dry and cold, while southern China is hot and humid, and clothes with tight cuffs have poor air permeability; The eight corners of the hat are too big for China people's faces, so it is not beautiful to wear. Later, Zhao Pinsan changed his coat into a cardigan, and his hat was still an octagonal Lenin hat, but the angle of the hat was smaller. In this way, the gray octagonal hat is decorated with a red five-star in the center of the hat face, and the left and right ends of the gray coat collar are decorated with red collars. After this uniform was tried on, it was approved by General Liu Bocheng, the leader of the Central Red Army School. Since then, the Red Army has its own military uniform.
