At that time, the entire county militia team was under her control.

When the number of people was at its largest, it grew to tens of thousands of subordinates.

Do not believe?

Give me a special chestnut.

The capital city of Shandong Province and a county under its jurisdiction have organized 11 militia divisions.

There are a total of 1-5 battalions, more than 1,000 companies, and a total of 140,000 militiamen.

Two years later, a militia field division was formed——

Equipped with five infantry regiments and a tank battalion!

What is this concept?

This is just the defense force of a county!

It's just a militia!

The local leaders probably thought it was a bit exaggerated. In 1961, they even carried out a major reduction in the militia.

After downsizing, the county militia still has more than 900 companies, totaling 130,000 people!

Let’s take another special big chestnut.

Fujian Province, Jinjiang, somewhere.

There are more than 3,000 militia members. The frontline militiamen build fortifications for the troops, deliver artillery shells, patrol the coastline, etc.

At that time, all the people were in the army. It was not just a slogan, it was actually the distribution of guns and ammunition.

At that time, if we were talking about who was the number one gun proponent in the world, it was not the United States or Mao Mao, it was us!

Let’s look at a set of data:

From 1956 to 1966, more than 760,000 Type 56 submachine guns were produced.

There are more than 2.9 million Type 56 semi-automatic rifles!

In the 1970s, the total number of Type 56 guns was already more than 16 million!

As for the number of bullets, it is said that there are too many and it is impossible to give an accurate data.

In addition, it also includes Type 67 grenades, with a production quantity of more than 1 billion!

The ration standard is four pills for regular soldiers and four pills for national militiamen.

The production slogan of that year was:
Chapter completed!
