In July 1930, the Red Army triumphantly joined forces in Hubei Gong'an, and was later combined into the 2nd Army Corps of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. During the Agrarian Revolution, he led the Red 2nd Army to perform many miraculous feats. By August 1937, the Red 2nd Army Corps and the Red 28th Army of Northern Shaanxi were reorganized into the 358th Brigade of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, with the 715th Regiment and the 716th Regiment under its jurisdiction. In January 1938, the Xinlao Independent Regiment in the Ningwu area was reorganized into the 714th Regiment and incorporated into the 358th Brigade.

In August 1945, the 358th Brigade was renamed the 358th Brigade of the Jinsui Field Army. The 358th Brigade in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was the main brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and its achievements were extremely brilliant. In November 1946, the 358th Brigade was incorporated into the 1st Column of the Jinsui Military Region. In March 1947, the 358th Brigade was incorporated into the Northwest Field Corps with the 1st Column, and later renamed the 358th Brigade of the 1st Column of the Northwest Field Army.
Fierce battle in the Great Northwest.
During the War of Liberation, the 1st Division and its predecessor units were active in the northwest strategic area under difficult conditions, destroying a total of 51,677 enemies, and gradually grew into a meritorious unit capable of attacking and defending. In July 1952, the Northwest Military Region reorganized the First Army into a heavy army, and still used the number of the First Army. Among them, the 1st Division was combined into the 1st Division, and the regimental number and structure under the jurisdiction of the original 1st Division remained unchanged.

In January 1953, the 1st Division was ordered to enter North Korea to participate in the round battle. During the DPRK period, the 1st Division successively participated in the construction of the West Coast Defense Project and the Summer Offensive Campaign, destroying 3,590 enemies. In February 1955, the 1st Division was ordered to be incorporated into the General Reserve of the Volunteer Army. In October 1958, the 1st Division returned to China, and it was also the last infantry division of our Volunteer Army to return to China. After returning to China, the 1st Division was moved to Anyang, Henan, and was subordinate to the Wuhan Military Region. In January 1964, the 6th Company of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division was awarded the honorary title of "Hard-Headed Sixth Company" by the Ministry of National Defense.
A brief diagram of the personal situation of the heroic model units and heroes of the 1st Division.
In June 1975, the 1st Army was transferred to the Nanjing Military Region, and the 1st Division was also transferred to Hangzhou, Zhejiang. In July 1984, the 1st Division participated in the Battle of the Two Mountains with the army, killing, wounding and capturing 4,548 enemies. After the war, the 1st Division contributed a large number of heroic units and heroes to the "Wall of Honor" of the 1st Army. In June 1985, the 1st Division was rebuilt with honors. In September, the 1st Army carried out the reorganization of the composite group army, the 1st Division was retained, and ushered in another highlight moment in the history of the division: the implementation of the establishment of the Northern A Motorized Infantry Division, becoming a veritable "first division in the world".

What is the establishment of a motorcycle division in the north?The staff, equipment, and training of the A division are very different from those of the other B divisions, which can be summed up as "fully equipped and strong". As for the motorized infantry division, it is easy to understand, an infantry division with a motorized marching method. In contrast, our army also has a Southern A motorized infantry division. For example, the 149th Division of the former 13th Group Army in the same period implemented the establishment of the Southern A Motorized Infantry Division.

At that time, the 1st Division was streamlined and reorganized as shown in the figure below. Everyone can't help but wonder why the 1st Division can carry out the establishment of the Northern A Motorized Infantry Division?In the author's opinion, there may be the following three reasons:
Old photo of the 112th Division.
First, the glorious history of the war, the need to continue the red blood. The 1st Division started with the Agrarian Revolution and fought until the Battle of the Two Mountains, and both the number of enemies destroyed and the heroic models that emerged were outstanding. Such an excellent team is not only a benchmark in the 1st Army, but also one of the best in the whole army. Our army has always admired honor, and in particular, heroic model units with glorious traditions have always been the key targets of construction. This is also very understandable, the heroic unit is the practical need to continue the red gene, and it is also the "heirloom" of our army to maintain its combat effectiveness forever.
For example, during the same period, the 112th Division of the 38th Group Army, the 58th Division of the 20th Group Army, and the 127th Division of the 54th Group Army were all heroic and model units with glorious traditions. Not only can it inspire the brother troops, but it can also make the red gene last for a long time.
The persistence and inheritance of the red tradition
Second, he has just come down from the battlefield and has rich experience in actual combat. ** At any time, actual combat experience is always the greatest asset of the army. When the 1st Division carried out the establishment of the Northern A Motorized Infantry Division, it had just come down from the battlefield of the Liangshan Wheel Battle, and had trained a large number of grassroots backbones with rich experience in actual combat.
In the 30s and 60s, it was already a combat readiness duty division of the whole army, and it had a solid foundation. In January 1961, the 1st Division was identified by the Military Commission as the Army's combat readiness duty division, which was the supreme glory of the division and an intuitive manifestation of its strong combat effectiveness. At that time, there were only 10 places in the first batch of our army's combat readiness duty divisions, all of which were fist troops capable of attacking and defending.
What is a combat readiness duty division?As the name suggests, this is a fast anti-elite soldier who "comes when called, can fight when it comes, and will win the battle". Therefore, the level of training of the combat readiness duty division must be long-term in order to be able to cope with the eventuality. The 1st Division has been on duty for a long time, and its training level, equipment, and soldier quality are all strong. As mentioned above, the 1st Division is a heroic model unit with a brilliant combat history and rich experience in actual combat, and it is reasonable to implement the establishment of the Northern A Motorized Infantry Division.
Jiujiang flood fighting. In the summer of 1998, the 1st Division ushered in a "big test" in the flood fighting and rescue in Jiujiang and became an elite division on the front line of flood fighting. In this flood fighting and rescue, the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division emerged as a "Flood Fighting and Rescue Model Regiment", reflecting the excellent style of being a type A motorized infantry division in the north. After the end of the flood fight, the 1st Division ushered in the adjustment of the system before the dust was exhausted. The 1st Regiment was merged to form a new Infantry Regiment, which still used the designation "1st Regiment", while the Tank Regiment was reorganized into an armored regiment. After the adjustment, the multi-arm cooperative combat capability of the 1st Infantry Division has been improved.
The 74th Army of the Southern Theater Army Amphibious Composite Brigade is a heroic model unit "Hard Bone Sixth Company".
In July 2000, the 1st Division officially implemented the establishment of an amphibious infantry division, which was the first amphibious infantry division in the history of our army. The amphibious infantry division can be said to be the "Army Naval Corps" and is designed to enhance our army's ability to carry out a variety of combat missions. In April 2017, in the new round of military reform, the original armored regiment and the 2nd regiment of the 1st Amphibious Infantry Division were combined into the Amphibious Composite Brigade and transferred to the 72nd Group Army of the Eastern Theater Army, and the rest was reorganized into the Amphibious Composite Brigade and transferred to the 74th Group Army of the Southern Theater Army.
Through this series of adjustments, the Hard-Headed Sixth Company became a heroic model unit of the Amphibious Composite Brigade, and the "Hard-Headed Sixth Company" continued to write a glorious chapter in the red tradition. This heroic unit has not only made great achievements in the long course of history, but has also inherited the blood of the Red Army and contributed its own strength to the construction and development of our army.
Through the story of the hard-boiled Sixth Company, we see the evolution of the 1st Division from the Red Army period to the current amphibious infantry division. With its outstanding achievements and red traditions, this unit shines brightly in the long history of our army. The heroic deeds of the hard-headed Sixth Company, like a flashing battle flag, stand in the history of our army, inspiring a new generation of soldiers to move forward bravely.
Finally, the hard-headed Sixth Company is the pride of our army and a living fossil of the red tradition. With their blood and sweat, they have composed heroic hymns of the eventful years, defending the dignity of the motherland and the tranquility of the people. The story of the hard-boiled Sixth Company tells us that the red tradition will never fade, and the heroic spirit will always be the main theme. Let us pay tribute to this heroic company and pay high tribute to those soldiers who fought bravely for the country and the people!
