What is the uniform of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants?

Yan Xu, a professor at the Long March Strategy Teaching and Research Department of National Defense University, said.

During the Long March, the Red Army broke away from the base areas and moved to enemy-occupied areas, ethnic minority areas or no-man's land. In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, it has encountered problems that ordinary people can't imagine, and the cost of overcoming these problems is usually no less than the battle during the journey.

Before the departure of the main Red Army's Long March, most of the uniforms were guaranteed by the Soviet government. The styles are all octagonal hats and Lenin suits of the Soviet Red Army, with red hat badges and collar badges. Most of the rural base areas rely on people to make clothes by hand, and the styles and colors are not completely standardized. Before the Central Red Army broke through the Soviet area, everyone issued a new uniform, which was worn out after nearly three months of fighting. After the Red Army occupied Zunyi, it rested for half a month, and the garment factory started working day and night, adding one or two new uniforms to everyone. After marching for nine months, they failed to replace them. Most people in northern Shaanxi were in rags. After the Red Fourth Army started the Long March from the Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet Area, it entered the desolate Sichuan-Kangbian Tibetan area for more than a year, and its cloth was scarce. Commanders and soldiers made sweaters and fur coats from wool and yak skin. When the three main forces of the Red Army joined forces, the colors of the troops were messy, but the only unified sign was that they still wore a red five-star octagonal hat, which was made by Lao Xu Manteli himself during the Long March.

On the way to the Long March, the food supply mainly depended on fighting local tyrants, and a few were solved by donations and loans. Raising food and money has become an important task for all troops. After the autumn harvest, the Central Red Army set out for the Western Expedition, and the landlords were mostly grain Man Cang, which was easy to confiscate. For poor farmers, the Red Army spends money to buy grain and is not allowed to ask for it for free. The most grain-deficient period in the Long March was when the troops entered the Sichuan-Kang area where the land was vast and the population was sparse. During this period, the army carried out ethnic and religious policies, and was not allowed to fight local tyrants, mainly buying food through toast. The Tibetan, Qiang, Hui and Han nationalities in Aba area have made great contributions to the supply of 654.38+10,000 Red Army grain. After arriving in Yan 'an, Mao Zedong once said that the Long March was in the northwest of Sichuan, and we owed the Tibetan and Qiang people a debt of gratitude.

Camping in the Red Army's journey is generally divided into private houses in areas with ordinary people. No matter how tired, the commanders and fighters are required to ensure that the cylinders are full and the yard is clean. It is difficult to find a house after entering the remote plateau area. In order to implement the religious policy, the troops had to camp out in the wild without entering the temple. The most difficult stage of accommodation is crossing the grass. Sometimes there is no dry ground at night, so many people have to sit on backpacks and snuggle up to each other to keep warm. At dawn, some soldiers were holding guns. They had fallen asleep because of cold and hunger.

The Red Army in the Long March was chased and intercepted by a large number of enemy troops, mainly by marching quickly out of danger. At that time, rubber shoes were rare treasures, and cloth shoes were not wear-resistant. Every commander took two or three pairs of straw sandals, and he made them all the way.
