I had a distant relative at that time. After returning from the army, the brigade made him a militia platoon leader, responsible for the training of the backbone militia of the whole brigade. There is no need to work in training. Remember that if a worker, commune or county wins good grades, there will be bonuses, certificates and teapots, that is, enamel pots with handles.
My relative has just been discharged from the army and has a loud voice. He stood in front of the militia, wearing a green military uniform, a belt and suede shoes. He is so handsome that an introducer will propose to him soon, and his family is not too poor.
Most of the backbone militia are unmarried men and women in their late twenties. They train to lie down, crawl forward, practice bayonets, get a dummy when practicing bayonets, draw a circle on the dummy's chest with charcoal, arch the front legs, collapse backwards, stab hard, and shout and kill every time they stab.
And practice throwing grenades. I remember throwing more than 50 meters at most.
I like shooting best because I'm afraid of hurting people. I usually go to remote and empty places to shoot. By the time we knew it, we had finished filming. We mainly carry bullet casings, which are made of copper and iron. When we came back, we filled the shells with water, smashed them on the ground, and took out the copper ones as fireworks guns and whistles for children to play with.
In the late autumn of' 76, I was elected as the platoon leader of the militia, and in a few days I took the transport team to the water conservancy site to build a shed. After the tent was set up, all the other members arrived, and I was appointed as the youth assault captain. Where there are difficulties, I take young people with me. After completing the task, I went to the commune for a meeting for 3 days, and participated in the commune water conservancy pacesetter commendation meeting with the captain.
In the spring of the following year, the People's Armed Forces Department of the commune organized militia to rake the land during the slack season. I took two militiamen and trained for three days.
The superior issued a 56-type rifle to our team and put it in the centralized custody of the brigade. Go to two days a month, clean the gun, oil the gun and study. ...
In autumn, the People's Armed Forces Department of the commune organized militiamen to harvest and rake the fields in autumn. I brought two militiamen for three days.
At ordinary times, there are also members who escort, and the backward elements who beat and scold cadres enter the study class ... These temporary tasks will last 5-7 days.
Usually, in the production team, he is also the captain of spraying pesticides, the leader of cattle farming ... and has different degrees of full-time behavior.
This year, I worked full-time for nearly 50 days, and part-time work was equivalent to more than 20 days.
The militia platoon leader is a member of the production team and usually works in the production team. During training, it is normal to call the militia of the production team to participate in the training of the militia company (battalion) of the brigade. In addition, the cadres of the brigade at that time also had to participate in the labor of the production team. My father has been the secretary of the brigade since the early 1960s. I remember that in the 1970s, the commune stipulated that the secretary of the brigade should take part in the work of the production team for at least eight months every year, and the production team also recorded the main points of work. Therefore, the cadres of the brigade all go to work in the production team, and the commune cadres will also go to work in the brigade. I wonder if there are any regulations in this regard. Anyway, I have seen the commune secretary work in our team with my own eyes. So don't think it's impossible not to do farm work when you are a captain. Only the people in the brigade factory have other rules not to go to the production team to do farm work at ordinary times.
It is estimated that the positions of militia company commander and militia platoon leader were only available after 1969. Sino-Soviet relations deteriorated, and China advocated that all the people should be soldiers and prepare for war. The production brigade has a militia company commander, and the production team has a militia platoon leader position. Militiamen are trained and beaten with live ammunition from time to time. The militia company commander is a brigade cadre, and the militia platoon leader is a squad leader cadre. They all participate in labor.
The militia is an armed force that is not divorced from production.
During the production team, even the militia company commander has to work, let alone the militia platoon leader. The militia are all part-time. If it is full-time, is it still a militia?
The role of ordinary members, "militia platoon leader" is voluntary, usually working to earn work points, and hanging a platoon leader title during training. At that time, the backbone militia kept their own guns.
The "militia platoon leader" is a "deputy ten", which is the same level as the vice captain of the production team. Usually participate in productive labor normally, and in most cases play the role of "leader" in the labor process.
During the slack season, the militia platoon leader organizes the militia "military training" in his platoon. When I was an educated youth, my militia platoon had two rifles, one for the platoon leader and one for the deputy platoon leader. During military training, I borrowed a gun from the militia battalion of the brigade, and each student had one. I once participated in the "assassination" training of militia platoon.
The militia platoon leader also participated in meetings and activities organized by the militia battalion of the brigade (village). Participate in the "team Committee" meeting of the production team and become a member of the leadership team of the production team.
