The cavalry, as an ancient branch of arms, was once invincible!
It played a role in both the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation, and participated in the military parade at the founding ceremony of New China!
However, the participation of the cavalry was canceled in the National Day military parade in 1955. This also marked that the cavalry, as an independent branch, could no longer adapt to the needs of future wars.
1969 Was the last large-scale recruitment of the Inner Mongolia Cavalry.
With the popularization and development of science and technology, "cavalry" has gradually withdrawn from the contemporary army.
But history cannot be forgotten, nor can the glorious chapter written by the Inner Mongolia Cavalry in China's military history be forgotten!
I would like to write this article to commemorate the Fifth Inner Mongolia Cavalry Division of the Chinese People's Liberation Army!
Dedicated to my fathers!
Purpose: To commemorate the cavalry years of our fathers
