1954: The final glory of 'China's Cossacks'
Adjust font size:

After New China was founded, the number of cavalry troops increased significantly to a maximum of over 100,000 soldiers. In the National Day military parade of 1954, the reviewed cavalry troops came from Inner Mongolia Military Area and half of them were heroes or persons of outstanding service. They formed six divisions in total in this parade with each division having the same color warhorses, looking neat and powerful. This was the last time the cavalry troops were reviewed at a National Day military parade.

Thereafter, the cavalry troops no longer appeared at the National Day military parade because the number of the troop soldiers dropped until it was finally cancelled. This was more or less a pity for such a branch of the military.
