1965 On May 22nd, the 9th meeting of the 3rd the NPC Standing Committee adopted the Decision on Abolishing the Military Rank System of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, which abolished the military rank system of our army. On May 24th, the State Council announced the decision to change some military uniform styles and new hat badges and badges, which took effect on June 1 of the same year. The armed forces of the army, navy and air force wear a style of clothing, all of which wear a full red five-pointed star hat badge and a full red collar badge, which is called the "Sixth Five-Year Plan" clothing. It is called "wearing a red star on the head and hanging revolutionary red flags on both sides", which embodies the proletarian revolutionary tradition of officers and men. It distinguishes cadres and soldiers by the number of pockets of military uniforms (four pockets for cadres and two pockets for soldiers); Distinguish male and female soldiers by collars. The navy uniform is dark gray.
In the 65-style military uniform, regardless of land, sea and air, the style is based on the Zhongshan suit. The difference between cotton fabric and service is color, army grass green, navy gray, air force green shirt and blue pants. The identification signs are all red five-star hat badge and red collar badge. Both men and women wear liberation hats. The only difference between officers and men is the pockets of military uniforms. There are four officers and two soldiers.
Judging from the situation at that time, in the year or two after the rank was just cancelled, in addition to the navy having changed into the gray-blue military uniform of Type 65, the army and air force personnel were still using the military uniform of Type 55 or Type 58. This is because the service life of military uniforms at that time was fixed, and it was impossible to issue new military uniforms before the depreciation time. In addition, in line with the principle of economy, the old military uniforms in stock must be equipped first. It was not until around 1967 (the equipment time varies from place to place) that the army and air force personnel were equipped with new military caps and uniforms. The fabric is plain cotton or twill cotton, the color is national defense green, and the air force pants are navy blue.
From 65438 to 0969, with the development of China's chemical fiber industry, the summer individual military uniforms with polyester, nylon and cotton blended fabrics were developed and equipped in the early 1970s. This new fabric containing chemical fibers, commonly known as "polyester", has the advantages of being stiff, non-shrinking, easy to dry after washing, bright in color and not easy to fade, and is deeply loved by people. This is called 7 1 military uniform. This is a leap in the quality of our military uniform fabric.
1 974 May1day, with the approval of Chairman Mao Zedong of the Central Military Commission, the dress characteristics of the "May 5" military uniform were partially restored: the navy re-used the "May 5" military uniform, which was white in summer and blue in winter, and male cadres were given long-lost military caps, and naval soldiers put on long-lost naval uniforms and military caps (due to some interference, "July 4". Type 74 military uniform improved the military capability of our army, which was refreshing in the dreary military uniform trend during the Cultural Revolution.
After the "Cultural Revolution", on the basis of the 7 1 uniform, our military clothing further expanded the use of chemical fiber materials. This winter clothing fabric was mainly replaced by polyester card clothing, and the cotton lining fabric was replaced by Wei cotton fabric, which reduced the weight of the opposite clothes. The waists of soldiers' uniforms and female soldiers are strengthened in summer, and the side seams of soldiers' uniforms are increased to two. The improved clothing is named 78-style military uniform. Two or three years later, some adjustments were made to the military uniforms in some hot spots. In summer, southern soldiers issued a cotton-green shirt with a small open collar, two chest patch bags and long sleeves. Navy men also issued white open-necked, chest patch pocket and dacron short-sleeved shirts. The above two kinds of shirts are all wearing red collars, and the hem is tied into the pants. At the same time, before leaving the factory, the cap badge was added to locate the color point.
1984 On the 35th anniversary of the National Day military parade, the troops participating in the military parade began to put on new military uniforms, which opened a new round of dressing. In May 1985, 1, the whole army was replaced with a new military uniform during the Eighth Five-Year Plan. After 20 years of use, "a red star with two red flags" finally completed its mission and was replaced by a more beautiful and scientific hat badge. However, as a part of military uniforms or combat uniforms, liberation hats and uniforms were still preserved, and it was not until the 1990s that they gradually withdrew from the historical stage.
