In the history of China, there is a field division that has survived ups and downs but has not fallen, that is, the 29th Division of the original 10th Army. However, there is also a lesser-known but equally resilient unit - the Army's 49th Division, which has undergone many transfers and streamlining and reorganization, but has not been disbanded. Let's relive the past and present life of this army and explore its glory in the long years.
In January 1946, the Independent Brigade of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region was born, and its foundation originated from the 29th Regiment and the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region. After several name changes and reorganization, this brigade was officially reorganized into the 49th Division of the 17th Army in March 1949, under the jurisdiction of the 145th, 146th, and 147th regiments. In the War of Liberation and the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the 49th Division and its predecessor units participated in many battles, including southwest Shandong, eastern Henan, Huaihai, and crossing the river.
The 49th Division underwent several transfers, one of which was transferred from the Chengdu Military Region to the Kunming Military Region in May 1958. However, this period was not long, and in June 1957, it was transferred to the Chengdu Military Region, and then returned to the Kunming Military Region in May of the same year. This change did not shake the division's will to fight, and in June 1967, the division's anti-aircraft artillery battalion even carried out the task of air cover against Vietnam, and achieved remarkable results.
In November 1969, the 49th Division was transferred to the 11th Army and renumbered as the 31st Division, under the jurisdiction of the 91st, 92nd, 93rd regiments and the divisional artillery regiment. In February 1979, the 31st Division participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, and after the war, it received many individual and unit honors. In this war, the 31st Regiment of the 91st Division set two records and gave birth to many outstanding military talents, among which He Qizong and *** are the rising "general stars".
In April 1984, ** led the 31st Division to participate in the battle to recover Yinshan, and exchanged a small number of ** for considerable enemies**, and thus rose to prominence. Immediately afterwards, after the end of the fighting in southern Xinjiang, the 31st Division once again won many individual and unit honors.
With the changes of the times, after the disarmament of 500,000 in 1998, the 31st Division has undergone many adjustments in its establishment and name, but its combat effectiveness and honor have not been weakened. It has been commended by the four general departments many times as a "first-class unit of military training of the whole army", and this honor is enough to prove the strength and will to fight of the division.
In 2013, the 31st Division was split into the 31st Infantry Brigade and the 32nd Mountain Brigade, which continued to flourish in the army. With the advancement of the new round of military reform, these two brigades have been incorporated into the 75th Group Army of the Southern Theater Army, and the establishment of composite brigades has been implemented. In October 2019, the honorary representative of the 75th Group Army, the battle flag of the "Zheyin Mountain Hero Company", as the pride of the Southern Theater Army and the iron-blooded glory of the old 11th Army, was invited to participate in the 70th anniversary of the National Day parade.
The 49th Division has undergone many changes in subordination and formation, but it has always adhered to its original intention of fighting. Their record of achievements and honors is the pride of the squadron, and it is also a vivid military legend, witnessing the tenacity, glory and legend of this unit.
Through the review of the story of this invincible division, we can see the tenacity and glory contained in it, this unit has written its own glorious chapter in glory and legend, and has made great efforts and sacrifices for the security and peace of the country and its people. May this spirit inspire us forever, and look forward to their continued glory.
