In 1985, during the 1-million-dollar disarmament, our army subdivided infantry divisions into motorized infantry divisions, motorized infantry divisions of type A, motorized infantry (infantry) divisions of type B, and light motorized infantry divisions.
A million moments in the history of disarmament.
Among them, the fate of the B motorized infantry (infantry) division is roughly divided into three types:
1. In 1996, he was transferred to the Armed Police Force
2. In 1998, it was rebuilt into a motorized infantry brigade;
3. Mobilization or dismantling;
Of course, there are more alternative. For example, the 164th Division of the 41st Group Army of the Guangzhou Military Region was reorganized into the Marine Corps. Among them, in 1996, there were 14 B divisions transferred to the armed police force, and on this basis, 14 armed police mobile divisions were formed, and the 41st mobile division of the armed police was organized against this background. So, what is the origin of the 41st Mobile Division of the Armed Police?
Zha Yusheng (the first military commander of the 41st Division of the 14th Army).
In February 1947, the 22nd Brigade of the 8th Column of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region composed of a section of the Taiyue Military Region. In February 1949, the 22nd Brigade of the 4th Column of Nakano ushered in a major adjustment, and the number was changed to the 41st Division of the 14th Army of the Second Field, which was under the jurisdiction of the 121st, 122nd, and 123rd RegimentsThe chief military and political officers are Zha Yusheng and Ding Rongchang。Compared with its brother units, the 41st Division lacked the foundation of the Red Army, but the troops maintained vigorous vitality from beginning to end.
During the War of Liberation, the predecessors of the 41st Division made great contributions in the great journey of opening up the base areas in western Henan, and later participated in the battles of Huaihai, crossing the Yangtze River, liberating Liangguang, and marching into Yunnan. It is a little regrettable that the 41st Division was unable to gallop on the Korean Peninsula, but was ordered to defend Yunnan, and made outstanding contributions to consolidating the victorious fruits of the Liberation War.
By May 1952, there was no large-scale war in China, and a relatively large victory was won on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and border defense construction became one of the key construction directions of our army at that time, and this was also the actual need of our army's regularization and modernization in peacetime. In this context, the 123rd Regiment (owing to the 3rd Battalion) was ordered to be transferred, and later based on this regiment, it was reorganized into two small border regiments. During the same period, the 128th Regiment of the 43rd Division was transferred to the 41st Division (using the number '123rd Regiment') and the divisional artillery regiment was formed.

In February 1979, the 41st Division participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam within the formation of the 14th Army. In this battle, the 41st Division was the direction of the 14th Army's partial division attack on the east bank of the Red River. Although the 41st Division is a partial division, it has played extremely brilliantlyIn succession, Mengkang and Fa Long fought brutal battles with the defending enemy。During the counterattack against Vietnam, the 41st Division killed, wounded, and captured 1,620 enemies, adding another honor to the history of the division. In April and May 1984, the 122nd Regiment was attached to the 40th Division to participate in the operation in the Laoshan area.
During the counterattack and defensive operations against Vietnam, the 2nd Company of the 121st Regiment, the 2nd Company of the 122nd Regiment and the 8th Company of the 123rd Regiment were awarded the honorary titles of "Sharp Knife Hero Company", "Heroic Company of Attacking Fortifications" and "Heroic Bazooka Player" respectively. Although the 41st Division did not participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, it showed its skills in the self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam, displayed the extraordinary combat effectiveness of the B Division, tempered the officers and men of the division, and accumulated rich experience in actual combat, which provided a useful reference for the division's synthesis and mechanization construction.

In October 1985, the 41st Division was established as a Southern B Infantry Division, with the 121st, 122nd, and 123rd Infantry Regiments and the Divisional Artillery Regiment under its jurisdiction. Among the above-mentioned regiments, the 121st and 123rd regiments were more special, and the establishment of the teaching regiment was implemented (the establishment of the B infantry regiment was later restored). In September 1992, the Chengdu Military Region was reorganized, and the 121st Regiment was ordered to be withdrawn, and the 1st Battalion of the regiment was reorganized into an independent battalion of the Shigatse Military Division. At the same time, the 124th Regiment of the 42nd Division was transferred to the 41st Division. So far, the 122nd Regiment has become the only representative of the old 41st Division.
In October 1996, according to the unified deployment of the ** Military Commission, the 14 B divisions of the field army sequence were transferred to the armed police force, and the 41st Division was one of them. Subsequently, the number of the 41st Division was adjusted to the 41st Mobile Division of the Armed Police, under the jurisdiction of the 122nd Regiment, the 123rd Regiment, the 124th Regiment and the 714th Regiment of the Armed Police (the regiment was reorganized from the original division artillery regiment). From a traditional field division to a mobile force shouldering the mobile combat mission of the armed police, the 41st mobile division of the armed police quickly changed its role and handed over a satisfactory answer to the ** Military Commission and the headquarters of the armed police.
A certain unit of the Second Mobile Corps of the Armed Police Force organized a drill.
From above, the 41st Mobile Division of the Armed Police Force is a Type B division with outstanding meritorious service and rich experience in actual combat. The situation like the 41st Division is not an isolated case, and other armed police mobile divisions such as the 1st Mobile Division of the Armed Police have made outstanding achievements during the revolutionary war. In 2018, the structure of the armed police force was adjusted, and the number of the 41st Division of the Armed Police was revoked and reorganized into the mobile detachment of the Second Mobile Corps of the Armed Police, which became the "Journey of Strengthening the Army in the New Era".Stability maintenance is a strong force”。No matter how the name changes, the soul of the heroic army is always there, inspiring generations of people's soldiers to create their own glory.
