In 1985, the 11th Army of the Kunming Military Region was withdrawn, and only one of the three field divisions in the army was retained
In the military career, the number is like the pride of inheritance, however, in the wave of disarmament in 1985, why did the 11th Army retain only one field division compared with other field armies?This article will delve into the ups and downs of the **11th Army and solve this military mystery.
The tortuous experience of the 11th Army.
The number of the 11th Army, like the waves of history, is tortuous and sad. Formed in November 1969, after a brief period of ups and downs, the army was the most downsized in the 1985 wave of disarmament. This raises widespread questions: why did only 1 field division remain?
Basic situation of the 11th Army.
Compared with the 13th and 14th armies, the 11th Army had relatively young seniority, and it was reasonable that it would be abolished. After the withdrawal, the 32nd and 33rd divisions in the army were abolished, while the 31st division was retained. The reason for this is that the author believes that the 31st Division, as the oldest field division of the 11th Army, conforms to the principle of "cutting the new and retaining the old."
Evolution of the 31st Division.
The history of the 31st Division can be traced back to 1946, when it became the 1st Independent Brigade of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, and was later reorganized into the 49th Division of the 17th Army. During the War of Liberation, the 49th Division became a strong force with a good style and courage to fight. After the establishment of the National Defense Light Armament Division was formally implemented in 1952, its subordinate relationship changed many times between the Kunming and Chengdu Military Regions.
In November 1969, the 49th Division was reorganized into the 31st Division of the 11th Army and became one of the main forces in the counterattack against Vietnam. In the counterattack in 1979, the 31st Division performed well and played He Qizong, ** and other military pride. In 1984, in the Battle of Yinshan Mountain, the 31st Division once again made great achievements, and heroic units and individuals such as the "Yinshan Hero Company" emerged.
The 32nd and 33rd divisions were dismantled.
In contrast, the 32nd and 33rd Divisions were included in the disarmament list due to their relatively junior qualifications. After the withdrawal, the Chengdu Military Region retained the bloodlines of these two divisions as much as possible, and combined the 32nd Division with the Mengzi Army Division to form the 2nd Garrison Division of the Chengdu Military Region, while the division headquarters and the 65th Artillery Division of the 33rd Division were merged with the antiaircraft artillery brigade of the 14th Group Army to form a formation.
The lineage of the 11th Army.
In 1992, in the streamlining and reorganization of the whole army, the 2nd Garrison Division of the Chengdu Military Region was reorganized into the Mengzi Army Division, and the 14th Group Army Antiaircraft Artillery Brigade was withdrawn. Although the divisional history of the 33rd Division was completely terminated, the Mengzi Army Division still carried the remnants of the 32nd Division. At this point, the bloodline of the 11th Army in the field army was only the 31st Mobu Division.
On the road to a strong army in the new era.
The 31st Mobu Division was unaffected in the tide of "transforming divisions into brigades" in 1998 and became one of the few field divisions in the Chengdu Military Region. In 2013, the ** Military Commission established the 31st Mechanized Infantry Brigade and the 32nd Mountain Infantry Brigade with the 31st Mobu Division as the backbone. In February 2016, the two brigades were transferred to the Southern Theater Army. After the new round of military reform in 2017, the number of the 14th Group Army was discontinued, and the 31st Infantry Brigade and the 32nd Mountain Infantry Brigade were retained in the 75th Group Army of the Southern Continent, and the establishment of synthetic brigades was implemented.
Epilogue. The ups and downs of the 11th Army have witnessed the glory and twists and turns of the number. In the tide of disarmament, the importance of blood inheritance is particularly important. By retaining the 31st Mobu Division, the 11th Army successfully continued its history and became an important force on the road to strengthening the army in the new era.
Note: This article is a fictional article and has nothing to do with actual historical events.
This article recounts in detail the history and reasons behind the withdrawal of the 11th Army of the Kunming Military Region in 1985, as well as the circumstances of why only one of the three field divisions within the 11th Army was retained. Through an in-depth analysis of the article, I believe that the author has succeeded in revealing the complex considerations behind the adjustment of the military establishment and the rationale behind the retention and reduction of military units.
First of all, the article presents the military history of the 11th Army to readers by reviewing the history of the 11th Army, especially the origin and combat exploits of the 31st Division. This kind of historical review not only enhances the reader's understanding of the content of the article, but also makes the article more flesh-and-blood and more convincing. The examples presented in the article, such as the counterattack against Vietnam and the Battle of Yinshan in the Reconquista, highlight the combat effectiveness and heroism of the 11th Army, and lay the foundation for subsequent discussions on disarmament decisions.
Secondly, the article focuses on the reasons for the abolition of the 32nd and 33rd Divisions, that is, their relatively shallow qualifications and short history. The author compares it with the older 31st Division, further emphasizing the principle of "cutting the new and retaining the old", and answers the reader's question as to why only the 31st Division has been retained. This logically clear and progressive narrative allows the article to tell the history and lead the reader to think deeply about the rationality of the disarmament decision.
Finally, the article shows the development and changes of the army after the adjustment through the follow-up arrangements of the 32nd and 33rd divisions and the history of the bloodline inheritance of the 11th Army. In particular, the continuation of the bloodline of the 11th Army and the development of the 31st Mobu Division in the new period have embodied the army's adaptability and indomitable fighting spirit in the midst of change. This back-and-forth approach makes the article more complete and thought-provoking.
Overall, this commentary**'s in-depth interpretation of the original text shows the author's unique insight into military history. By liking the article, I think the author has done a pretty good job of narrating history, analyzing the causes, and looking to the future, which has succeeded in provoking the reader's thoughts and discussions.
