During the Great Leap Forward period, Mao Zedong commanded the nationwide "Big Way Militia Division" due to internal and external factors, such as oppression of "the US and British imperialism", "intrusion of Kuomintang secret agents", realization of people's war, and implementation of people's commune. Mao's decision not only denied Peng Dehuai's claims to combine militia with the military reserve and to learn from the military of the Soviet Union, but also gave rise to exaggerated local data, difficulties in integrating labor with military, turning "helping around" into "grassroots violence", and disorderly command systems, etc. Subsequently, the organizations aiming at "integrating government administration with commune management" also collapsed. The Communist Party of China resumed militia military training in 1962, and ended in 1984 along with the People's Commune Movement. The absence of the "Big Way Militia Division" during this period might be considered one of the manifestations for Mao's avoiding mentioning the failure of Great Leap Forward Movement.
