The content of military logistics

This is an important guarantee for army building. In the late Qing dynasty, both the new army and the Kuomintang army generally imitated the logistics system of the western army. Generally speaking, it is divided into two aspects: one is to establish a special logistics organization. Yuan Shikai gradually improved the logistics organization from compiling the new army to compiling the Beiyang army. At the headquarters, he set up Grain Bureau, Ordnance Bureau, Transport Bureau and Military Medical Bureau, and each battalion set up corresponding commissioners and medical officers, with clear responsibilities and duties. For example, the rating bureau sends staff to distribute names on the playground together with battalion commanders and raters every month, and the Military Medical Bureau is responsible for guiding battalion medical officers and helping to build military hospitals. After the establishment of the National Government, the Executive Yuan set up the Military and Political Department, under which the Military Supplies Department, including the General Affairs Department, the Accounting Department, the Preparatory Department, the Construction Department and the Audit Department, was established. The Military Commission has a Military and Political Department, which has jurisdiction over aviation, transportation, military law, ordnance, military affairs and military doctors. Later, the association also established the logistics service department and the health service department. , make its logistics institutions more perfect, closer to the logistics institutions and facilities of the western army. The second is to improve the logistics supply system. Although the logistics supply system of the new army has been improved, the most important thing is to accept the military industries established in the Westernization Movement, such as Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and Jinling Machine Manufacturing Bureau. This is the main source of some military weapons. During the period of the National Government, in order to improve the logistics supply system, in addition to expanding and rectifying the above arms,

Outside the factory, a number of new arsenals have been opened all over the country, and large-scale material storage bases and warehouses have been established. When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the Air Force built Hangzhou Central Aircraft Factory, Nanchang Central Aircraft Factory, Pingxiang China Aviation Equipment Co., Ltd. and Shaoguan Aircraft Factory in addition to the limited funds of the navy. The Navy has set up an aircraft factory in Shanghai Gaochang Temple and aircraft repair shops in Nanjing, Nanchang, Luoyang, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and Chongqing. The army set up clothing factories in Pingxiang and other places, grain and socks factories in Luoyang, and warehouses in Nanjing, Hankou, Kaifeng and Luoyang to store all kinds of ordnance and ammunition. The gradual improvement of the logistics supply system is another remarkable symbol of China's military modernization.

China * * * Production Party has always attached importance to the logistics work of the army, believing that material conditions such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, weapons, technical equipment and guns and ammunition are the basis for the survival and fighting of the army. During the Jinggangshan period, Mao Zedong proposed to strengthen military logistics construction as the main method to consolidate the revolutionary base areas: "First, build complete fortifications; Second, reserve enough food; Third, build a better Red Army hospital. " He pointed out: "In particular, the Red Army has made it more adequate. Urgently needed. " Mao Zedong's emphasis on "particularity" and "urgency" was put forward in view of the situation that the people's army was in "extremely difficult food, extremely difficult money and extremely difficult wounded hospitals". In fact, the people's army's logistics work is completely different from other armies in China, that is, it emphasizes the principle of logistics economy and democracy; Emphasize relying on people to manage logistics; Emphasize that logistics should proceed from reality; Emphasis on increasing production and saving logistics. These principles have played a great role in the era of frequent wars and in the difficult environment where there is basically no rear area. For example, during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Mao Zedong and the CPC Central Committee sent 359 brigades to Nanniwan, calling on all officers and men to carry out a large-scale production campaign, which enhanced the logistics support of the troops and created a new situation of "do it yourself and have plenty of food and clothing". In the long-term revolutionary struggle, the People's Army has formed a set of principles, policies and fine traditions of logistics work, providing valuable experience for building a modern army with China characteristics.
