Baoding Military Academy attaches importance to basic education. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was an army primary school in all provinces (at that time, Zhili Army Primary School was located in Yaocun, Dingxing County), and its students were mainly selected from the children of flag-bearers stationed in various places. Secondly, a Han student with excellent physical fitness and academic performance is selected from high primary schools in various counties. Their age is between 14 and 5 years old, and they all enjoy free treatment. After graduating from the army primary school, its outstanding students were promoted to the army middle school. At that time, there were four army middle schools in China. The first army middle school was in Qinghe Town, the second army middle school was in Nanjing, the third army middle school was in Wuchang, and the fourth army middle school was in Xi 'an. After graduating from army middle school, he was organized into a "student team". He lived in Baoding Military Academy for half a year and passed the rigorous training and examination. Only those who pass the exam can be promoted to the Army Military Academy. Therefore, the quality of military school students is relatively neat.

After the founding of the Republic of China 19 12, army primary schools in all provinces stopped enrolling students. Baoding Army Military Academy reopened, and the students enrolled this year were designated as the first phase of Baoding Army Military Academy. In the first year of the Republic of China (A.D. 19 12), four army middle schools merged into two army officer reserve schools (one in Qinghe Town, Beijing, and the other in Wuchang, Hubei). In the sixth year of the Republic of China (A.D. 19 17), the last class of students who entered the army primary school had already gone to school, and the army officer reserve school had no new students. This summer, Qinghe No.1 Middle School Preparatory School enrolled a group of freshmen from Grade Two and above in ordinary middle schools (four-year system), all of whom were selected on the basis of strict examinations. In the spring of the seventh year of the Republic of China (A.D. 19 18), all the students who entered Baoding Military Academy from the former army primary school had graduated, and the Army Department changed the enrollment system. Baoding Military Academy recruits a group of students directly from ordinary middle school graduates. First, these students will be sent to companies below each division to serve as soldiers for nine months. After the expiration, they will pass the exam before they can enter the military school. This is the eighth student of Baoding Military Academy. In the sixth year of the Republic of China (19 17), a group of students enrolled in Baoding Military Academy in the tenth year of the Republic of China (192 1). This is the ninth and last student. The main function of Baoding Military Academy is to train junior officers. The study period is two years, and there are about 1.300 middle school students in the military academy, including five subjects, including walking, riding, artillery, engineering and trench, and 7 infantry companies, each with about 1.20 students. 2 companies of cavalry division, each with about 100 people; 2 artillery companies, each with about 60 people; Engineering Section 1 Company, about 60 people; Company 1, about 100 people. Each discipline has 1 section chief, who directly manages undergraduate education affairs. Students are organized into companies, about 120 people, with 3 rows in each company and 3 classes in each row. Most of the company commanders were graduates of the army crash school in the late Qing Dynasty. Every subject has instructors, and instructors are the educational subjects of four courses: tactics, fortification, weapons and transportation. Subjects include military science, model orders of various military disciplines, and various foreign languages. Technical subjects are divided into playground, field competition, chopping, gymnastics and so on. There is also the learning and realization of surveying topography.

Its educational methods mostly adopt Japanese and German methods. At least half a day to teach courses, in addition to military tactics, weapons, surveying and mapping, building bases and model orders, but also add physics and chemistry, mathematics, history, geography and so on. Each class lasts one and a half hours. The demonstration manual is the guideline for the coach's military action. General knowledge and foreign languages are supplementary education, and civilian teachers are hired to enrich students' military knowledge and prepare conditions for gradually and comprehensively learning various military exercises. Technical training, first for all kinds of coaches on the playground, and then to practice in the coaching field. Field exercises, from simple to complex, then gradually enter comprehensive joint exercises. Live-fire shooting includes shooting range, horse-riding training includes racecourse, artillery training includes gun field, and engineers include earthwork field and bridge-building field. Blasting exercises choose places that will not cause harm. Auxiliary skills such as gymnastics, chopping, martial arts, etc. , there are professional instructors, all in the compound. The armory exercise was held in the equipment playground outside the back door of the school. Most of these trainings last for one hour, formal drills usually last for two hours, and field exercises last at least half a day. When the subject is complex and far away from the school, it will increase to one to several days. The big exercise also carries tents and cookers to organize life in the exercise area.

During my two years in the military academy, I studied in the school for one and a half years, and camped in Changxindian and Tanghu Town (between Beijing and Baoding) for live-fire shooting and surveying practice for the other six months. After the internship, the school will hold a graduation ceremony. After graduation, the army units in each province will be assigned for half a year. After the probation period expires, they will be assigned to all units as cadres, starting with the lowest second lieutenant. From army primary school to middle school and Baoding Military Academy, students have studied for more than seven years, so they are generally welcomed when they are assigned to army units all over the country after graduation. However, in the early years of the Republic of China, the political situation was extremely chaotic, and many provinces opposed Yuan Shikai's monarchy. Graduates have different experiences in different provinces. For example, students in Guangxi can only be officials when they return to the province, and they are in a position of being idle, which can play a very small role. But Yang Zengxin, the governor of Xinjiang, sent people to Beijing to train students from Yunnan and Guangxi, and sent them to Sichuan as captains, but few people went. Most of the school's education directors and instructors are graduates of the Japanese NCO School. A captain, platoon leader, etc. Most of them are graduates of Beiyang crash armament school. Teaching assistants are all selected from the elite. All the school systems are basically imitated by Japan and Germany. Guns, cannons, ammunition and other teaching equipment and military equipment are mostly purchased from Japan. Some of them are also bought from Germany, such as Krupp mountain guns and wild guns.

At that time, all the funds and equipment were distributed by the War Department. Every student's weapons, equipment, clothes, books, meals, etc. It's all at public expense, and students are subsidized by Yin and Yang 2 yuan every month. Baoding Military Academy is famous at home and abroad, which is closely related to the emergence of talented people and their influence on China's modern history. After the reform in the Republic of China, only 1 1 year, the number of graduates reached 6553. Many graduates have become famous figures in the history of modern revolution in China and made immortal contributions to the revolutionary cause of the people of China. For example, Comrade Ye Ting is a famous military general of our party. During the Northern Expedition, the "Iron Army" he led frightened the enemy, and he served as the commander of the New Fourth Army during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period. Martyrs Zhao Bosheng and Dong Zhentang are famous martyrs of Ningdu Uprising. Comrade Zhao Bosheng served as deputy commander and chief of staff of Wu Gongjun, and Comrade Dong Zhentang served as commander of Wu Gongjun, who made glorious sacrifices for the revolutionary cause successively. Comrade Zhang Kexia and Comrade He Jifeng, deputy commanders of the underground party member and the former Kuomintang 33rd Army, led the 59th Army and the 77th Army in the firewire uprising respectively at the critical juncture of the Huaihai Campaign, which made great contributions to the successful victory of the Huaihai Campaign. Like Zhu Guo and Wang Changjiang, he also contributed to the revolutionary cause.

Many graduates of this school have become the backbone of the democratic revolution, such as He Guanzhong and Li, He Ziyuan's six brothers, the buddies of the Xinhai Revolutionary League and the chairman of Jiaying House. They all participated in the activities of the Xinhai Revolution in the military academy. 19110 On the night of the Wuchang Uprising in Hubei Province, several cadets resolutely slipped out of the school gate and blew up the Caohe Railway Bridge, the only artery of the Qing army going south, which successfully prevented the Qing army from going south to suppress the insurgents and won valuable preparation time for the revolutionaries. After liberation, Li served as vice chairman of People's Republic of China (PRC). Comrade Ji Fang served as the platoon leader of the death squads of the Northern Expeditionary Army in the Revolution of 1911 and also participated in the Yuan War. After liberation, he served as a member of the NPC Standing Committee and the sixth vice chairman of China People's Political Consultative Conference. General Zhang Tingfu, who was stationed in the fourth town of Wuhan (in the 28th year of Guangxu, 1902 entered Baoding Jiang Yang School), led two battalions to conquer the Governor's Mansion during the Revolution of 1911 and was assassinated. Mr. Sun Yue, commander of the National Army and deputy commander of Beijing Garrison, joined the League when he was in Baoding Military Academy, and took his mansion (in the Temple of Fire, now the title of Happiness Street) as the secret assembly point for joining the League. In October, 13th year of the Republic of China, in A.D. 1924, with the cooperation of General Feng Yuxiang, he launched a mutiny in Beijing, arrested and imprisoned Cao Kun, president of the Beiyang warlord government, which promoted the historical process of China. After the national army led by him entered Baoding, the responsible party and trade union cadres imprisoned by Cao Kun and Wu were released, such as Chen, a member of the Railway Federation of Trade Unions and a cadre of Changxindian Branch, He Liquan, president of Baoding Branch, and Bai, vice president. Mr. He Sui joined the League in the Military Academy, and later served as the staff officer of Wu Luzhen, commander of Beiyang Six Towns. He actively assisted in overthrowing the imperial system of the Qing Dynasty and participated in the revolutionary action of establishing the Governor's Office of the Yan-Jin Allied Forces in Baoding. After liberation, he served as a member of the NPC Standing Committee Law Committee.

In addition, there are Deng, Liu Yuexi, Chen, Wu Yiwu, Liu Ruxian, Zhou, Li, Shang Zhen, Wang Faqin, Xi Huang, Shen Tao, Wang Zizhai, Liu Jianfan, Ni Dexun, Zhang Wen, Tong Baoxuan, Zhang Bi, Weng Juqing, An Suyan, Liu Yaokui and Qian Dinghe. There are still many people who joined the revolutionary camp through tortuous roads, such as Zhang Zhizhong, Fu, Tao Zhiyue, Chu Xichun and Liu. Of course, many students in Baoding Military Academy have become the senior military and political leaders of the Northern Warlords and the Kuomintang counter-revolutionary camp, such as Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Qun, who graduated from the Army crash school. Bai Chongxi (Minister of National Defense), Chen Cheng (Chief of Staff of the National Government), Li Shuchun (Deputy Chief of Staff of the National Government) and Qin Dechun (Deputy Minister of National Defense) graduated from military schools, as well as senior Kuomintang generals such as Gu, Herry Liu, Xue Yue, Luo and Ma Fawu.
