The people's army was formed in smoke and gunfire. Faced with the white terror, workers and peasants took up arms and armed against the brutal rule of the National Government. At this time, the equality of officers and men was emphasized and the standards of the troops were unified. In terms of food, officers and cadres are the same as soldiers. Such a cohesive move made the army led by * * * more popular and loved by the people, and workers and peasants actively joined the army.
In fact, before the war of liberation, the people's army grew up in extremely harsh environments, whether during the Red Army period or the Eighth Route Army period. There are foreign powers eyeing up and fierce threats from the Kuomintang, and they all want to get rid of it as soon as possible. At this time, most of the troops were supplying their own munitions. One is to get the enemy's materials through fighting, and the other is to be self-reliant and realize self-sufficiency in materials through joint military and civilian efforts.
By the end of the War of Liberation, the People's Liberation Army of China had reached a large scale, and China had enough strength to liberate all China. At this time, the five major field armies were gradually regularized, and the Northwest Field Army was renamed as the First Field Army, with 1 Corps and the 2nd Corps, with a total force of176,000 and logistics commander Liu Jingfan; The Central Plains Field Army was renamed the Second Field Army, with the 3rd, 4th and 5th Corps under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of more than 280,000 people, and logistics commander and political commissar Duan Junyi.
The East China Field Army was renamed the Third Field Army, with the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10 corps under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of about 58 10000, and Liu Ruilong, commander and political commissar of the logistics command; The Northeast Field Army was renamed the Fourth Field Army, with a total strength of more than 880,000 people, and under its jurisdiction 12, 13, 14 and 15 corps. The Field Army of North China Military Region was reorganized, with the same name, and under its jurisdiction 18, 19 and 20 corps, with a total strength of more than 238,000.
After reorganization, the China People's Liberation Army Field Army has the first, second, third and fourth field armies and the North China Military Region Field Army, with a total of 16 Corps and 5 1 Army, with about 2180,000 people. Coupled with some local troops and rear organs, for such a huge army, the problem of logistics supply has naturally become a top priority. Therefore, the Central Military Commission, after careful consideration, promulgated the Supply Standard of the People's Liberation Army of China, including provisions on funds, food and military assets.
In the above standards, the daily food standard for each person is also clearly defined. Because the field army has the heaviest combat tasks and the highest food standards. 5 yuan oil, 5 yuan salt, 6 yuan meat, 1 kg vegetables, 28 ounces of rice and 2 kg of dry wood are supplied to each person every day. The local army followed closely, and each person provided 4 yuan oil, 5 yuan salt, 4 yuan meat, 1 kg of vegetables, 26 liang of rice and 2 kg of dry wood every day.
The rear office has the lowest food standard, and each person provides 3 yuan oil, 5 yuan salt, 4 yuan meat, 1 kg vegetables, 24 meters and 2 kg dry wood every day. Other wounded or specific personnel have other different standards. Then the question is, what is the standard of food for prisoners in the war? In fact, the PLA has been very good to them. Their food standards are the same as those of their military organs, as are the standards of rice and dry wood.
