In 1984, the 36th Division of the 12th Army participated in the Battle of the Two Mountains, although this record is relatively unknown, but it is a unit that has played the temperament of an ace division. In this era, all major military regions of our army sent troops to southern Xinjiang one after another to participate in the Battle of the Two Mountains. And the 12th Division of the 36th Army of the Nanjing Military Region is also one of them. Although the 36th Division only played an assist role in this battle, it showed an impressive performance. However, it is interesting that the military history circles carried out an extensive ** for the 1st Army, which participated in the Battle of the Two Mountains, but almost ignored the achievements of the 36th Division. In fact, little is known about the achievements of the 36th Division. Therefore, today I would like to introduce to you the glorious history of the 36th Division, which starts with the 3rd Column of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Field Army. In October 1945, the 7th Brigade of the 3rd Column of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Field Army was established, which was formed by the 4th Detachment of the Taihang Military Region and the 769th Regiment, the 51st Regiment and the 3rd Detachment ** Guard Regiment. In May 1948, the brigade was renamed the 7th Brigade of the 3rd Column of the Central Plains Field Army.
Then, in March 1949, the 7th Brigade of the 3rd Column was renamed the 31st Division of the 11th Army again, with the 1st Regiment under its jurisdiction, and Zhao Lantian and Zhou Wei served as military and political chiefs respectively. In the War of Liberation, the 36th Division and its predecessor units participated in the battles of Handan, Longhai, Dingtao, Juye, Southwest Lu, advancing to Dabie Mountain, Wanxi, Huaihai, crossing the river, and marching to the southwest, destroying a total of 66,210 enemies. It can be said that the 31st Division is not only the division with the strongest combat effectiveness in the 11th Army, but also one of the main forces of Liu Deng's army. In January 1951, with the withdrawal of the 11th Army, the 31st Division was placed under the military structure of the 12th Army. However, in March 1951, the 31st Division was reorganized into the 31st Division of the Volunteer Army, and participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. In this war, the 31st Division showed strong combat effectiveness and became the backbone of the 12th Army. It even hit the 37th parallel at one point, and it was the farthest fighting force in the Sino-Korean coalition army, which was unique. The glorious battle history of the 36th Division is a little-known story.
This unit has demonstrated outstanding strength in many battles and has made great contributions to the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Although it has been forgotten in the military history circle for a long time, we should pay attention to and pass on this history and praise the brave soldiers. Through this story, we can see that each unit in the war has its own glorious war history and its own heroic story. It is also a reminder that the heroes and heroic deeds around us may be overlooked and forgotten by us, but their contributions and sacrifices are irreplaceable. Therefore, we should cherish and respect these heroes even more and be moved by their dedication. War is brutal, but it has also sharpened generations of heroes. Their stories should be remembered in the long river of history and inspire us to move forward. Let us remember those heroes who fought and sacrificed everything for the country and the people, thank them for their efforts, and praise them!The Battle of Shangganling was an important battle of the Chinese People's Volunteers in the Korean War, and it was also a battle of great strategic significance. Among them, the 31st Division, as a reserve, urgently supported the 15th Army, giving full play to the advantages of light infantry tactics and successfully recapturing most of the positions in Shangganling, which were captured by the enemy.
However, the difficulties and challenges they face cannot be ignored. The terrain of Shangganling is dangerous, and the mountains are high and the roads are steep. Among them, the East Mountain of the Bali River is a position with extremely harsh conditions. The mountainous terrain was complex and the roads were scarce, which brought great difficulties to the logistics of the 36th Division. Especially 1175 on the East Mountain4 Highlands, but also a difficult test. There are 1,045 steps up and down the mountain, and the one-way route is 9 kilometers long, making replenishment of ammunition, drinking water and food a huge challenge. In order to be able to reach the forefront of the position, the soldiers had to climb the ridge with difficulty, one step at a time. They carry heavy equipment on their backs and are not afraid of the cold and harsh conditions. In such conditions, they must maintain a high degree of vigilance and combat competence, ensuring the security of their positions. Not only that, but the East Mountain of the Bali River is also a strategic artery. There is a strategic highway connecting Malipo County with the Ha Giang region of Vietnam, and the Panlong River also passes through here. This put even more pressure on the defensive tasks of the 36th Division. They need to be constantly vigilant against enemy attacks and protect this important line of communication. However, in the face of these difficulties and challenges, the 36th Division did not flinch.
With their tenacious will and fearless courage, they stuck to the east mountain of the Bali River. Through combat training and combat practice, they have continuously improved their combat skills and combat effectiveness. With their flesh and blood, they defended the dignity and territorial integrity of the country. In the Battle of Shangganling, the performance of the 36th Division was admirable. They used their practical actions to interpret the heroism and tenacity of the Chinese people. They braved hardships and dangers, forged ahead bravely, and made great contributions to defeating the enemy and defending the country. The victory in the Battle of Shangganling was not only a victory for the Chinese People's Volunteers, but also a victory for the squadron and the Chinese people. It demonstrated the unity and tenacious will of the Chinese people, and showed the world the strong strength of the Chinese team. Although decades have passed since the Battle of Shangganling, its significance and influence are still far-reaching. It is an important symbol of the squadron's victory over strong enemies and defense of the country, and it is also an important force for the squadron to adhere to peaceful development and maintain international peace. War is cruel, but behind the war lies the hope of the nation and the choice of destiny. In the Battle of Shangganling, the squadron announced to the world China's determination and ability to defy a strong enemy and defend the country with its own practical actions.
It is precisely with such faith and courage that the squadron can repeatedly perform miraculous feats on various battlefields and defend the interests of the country and the stability of international peace. The Battle of Shangganling is not only the pride of the squadron, but also the pride of the Chinese nation. It allows us to see the strength of the squadron and the unity of the Chinese people. Today, we still have to bear in mind the heroic feat of the Shangganling Campaign, continue to inherit and carry forward the glorious tradition of the squadron, and make our own contributions to building a peaceful and stable world. The 36th Division of the Chinese People's Liberation Army: Iron-blooded glory In modern warfare, the soldiers who died and were wounded on the battlefield are often the most distressing. However, in the battle of the two mountains, the 36th Division of the Chinese People's Liberation Army still achieved brilliant results at a small cost. During this period, the 36th Division successfully defended against more than 100 enemy counterattacks and harassment in more than half a year of fighting, and at the same time, carried out the "851 operation", destroying more than 2,000 enemies, and achieved outstanding results. In other battles, the 36th Division also had many commendable heroic deeds.
For example, the 7th Company of the Artillery Regiment was awarded the honorary title of "Divine Artillery Company" by the ** Military Commission, Fu Yongxian, the commander of the 7th Company of the 107th Regiment, was awarded the honorary title of "Good Company Commander with the Courage to Dedicate Himself", Fan Zhonghua, squad leader of the Special Service Company of the 106th Regiment, was awarded the honorary title of "Demining Hero" by the Kunming Military Region, and Zhao Jinbiao, the squad leader of the 2nd Battalion Artillery Company of the 106th Regiment, was awarded the honorary title of "Divine Gunner". These honorary titles and awards are only the tip of the iceberg of the 36th Division's achievements. 50 units and 46 individuals of the division were awarded first-class combat merits, 125 units and 303 individuals were awarded second-class combat merits, and 231 units and 2,093 individuals were awarded third-class combat merits. Over time, the 36th Division also gradually changed. In June 1985, the 36th Division successfully completed the task of the Liangshan Rotational Battle, withdrew from the Liangshan Theater with the army, and returned to the north after thousands of miles. In September of the same year, the division carried out the establishment of the Northern A Motorized Infantry Division, and became the trump card main division within its jurisdiction and even in the whole army. In 1998, the 36th Division underwent structural adjustments, and the ability of multi-arms coordinated operations was further enhanced. In 2003, the 36th Division was reorganized into the 36th Motorized Infantry Brigade.
Today, the 36th Brigade has been transferred to the Eastern Theater Army with the army and has become a special operations brigade of the 71st Group Army. The red genes and heroic traditions of the "Nakano Tiger Division" are the most precious treasures of the 36th Mobu Brigade and a special operations brigade of the 71st Group Army. This honor and responsibility has become their spiritual pillar, illuminating their way forward. Topic: The Nakano Tiger Division and the Artillery Company: Heroic Stories During the Anti-Japanese War, the squadron faced a grim situation. However, the appearance of the Nakano Tiger Division and the Divine Artillery Company injected new strength into the squadron. Their heroic deeds have also become a good story in the history of China. The Nakano Tiger Division was an elite unit adapted from the Nino Hero Division, and they posed a great threat to the Japanese army. In the Battle of Changsha, the Nakano Tiger Division fought bravely to kill the enemy and achieved a crucial victory. At several stages of the war, the Nakano Tiger Division demonstrated remarkable combat ability and tenacious willpower. Their appearance has greatly improved the morale of the squadron. At the same time, the artillery company also played a key role in the war. Possessing advanced artillery and superb shooting skills, the artillery company has played an important role in many battles.
In the Battle of Songhu, the position where the artillery company was located became the key target of the Japanese attack. However, the soldiers of the artillery company held their positions and crushed the Japanese attack with artillery. Their courage and sacrifice have touched countless people. During the war, the soldiers of the Nakano Tiger Division and the Artillery Company faced tremendous pressure and difficulties. However, they did not flinch, and they defended the dignity of the country with their lives. Their heroic deeds also inspire us to cherish peace and strive for the interests of the country and the people. References: 1Zhu Xiaoming· Party History (Documentary) 2People's Front.
