At that time, in a war of aggression launched by British imperialism against South Africa, people found that the color of military uniforms affected actual combat. At that time, there was a white people named Boer in South Africa. They don't want to be bound by foreign invaders and organize themselves to fight with each other. Bohr went to war less often and finally suffered a big loss.
According to the observation after a period of time, Bohr found that the British army had a great feature. They are all wearing red uniforms. They are particularly conspicuous against the green background of South African forests, so they are easily exposed. Bohr immediately changed his clothes into grass green and painted his gun green.
In this way, Bohr can easily cover the green background of dense jungle. It is not easy for English people to find Boers, and it is easy for Boers to find English people. They often unconsciously approach the British army and suddenly attack. The British army was caught off guard, but the British army could not find the target. In this war, the British army killed and injured more than 90 thousand people and suffered heavy losses.
In the past, the lessons of the British in South Africa were quickly understood and learned by the armies of many countries. In order to better hide the actions of the army in the wild, people start with clothing and constantly improve the color of military uniforms to make them as close as possible to the color of the natural background. In this way, although the world's clothing forms vary widely, they are gradually unified in the direction of green.
But the color of the uniform is not absolutely close to green. There are national traditions, national cultures and international trends. Before the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC) and China People's Liberation Army, the National Revolutionary Army wore a red scarf. At this time, our army has not yet unified military uniform style.
During my stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Eighth Route Army was khaki and the New Fourth Army was gray, with thick and thin fabrics. 1946, our army was renamed "China People's Liberation Army". The logistics department of the military commission has stipulated a unified clothing style. The military uniform is a green cotton plain cloth halfway up the mountain.
1950, the People's Liberation Army unified the military system and experienced the 65-style military uniform quilt. Finally, make sure that all officers and men are wearing liberation hats, red cloak badges and red collars. After the reform and opening up, China has reformed the single model of our military system? The result is mainly the resumption of the use of the 87-type military uniform. Type 87 military uniform completes our military uniform series.
