years,The group army was withdrawn,What is the reason for the division to be reorganized into a machine infantry brigade?

In 2003, the 63rd Army underwent a major reorganization, in which the 188th Mobu Division was reorganized into the Mechanized Infantry Brigade. However, many people don't know much about this history.

Among them, the movie "Tunnel War" may be able to provide us with some clues. The film is set against the backdrop of the anti-Japanese underground Great Wall in the Jizhong Plain, revealing a little-known history for us.

And the prototype of this history is likely to be related to the 188th Motorized Infantry Division of the 63rd Group Army of the former Beijing Military Region.

This is a brave and fearless team, they are heroes in the anti-Japanese beacon fire, and they are the main ace division of the 63rd Army. However, in 2003, the 63rd Army was withdrawn, and this team was transferred to the 27th Army of the Beijing Military Region.

Why is this adaptation for the 188th Mobu Division? What is the story behind it and the history of the war? Next, I will reveal it for you. In September 1945, the Jin-Cha-Ji Field Army was established in the middle of the Hebei Column, under the jurisdiction of the first detachment and two directly subordinate regiments.

Among them, the commander and political commissar of the 3rd detachment were shouldered by Wang Daobang's military and political affairs, and the regiments under his jurisdiction were as follows: The predecessor of the 24th Regiment was the independent 1st Regiment established in 1938, and the regiment was formed with the 6th Regiment and the 5th Regiment of the Hebei Guerrilla Army.

In 1939, the regiment was renamed the 24th Regiment. The predecessor of the 27th Regiment was the 42nd District Brigade in 1944, which was formed on the basis of the 5th Company of the 24th Regiment and the Renqiu County Brigade.

In July 1945, the ministry was renamed the 27th Regiment. The predecessor of the 28th Regiment was the 34th District Team established in 1942, and was later renamed the 28th Regiment on the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Baiyangdian Yanling team fought bravely and frightened the Japanese, pseudo-and stubborn. Their tactics and armaments, including plain tunnel warfare, the Baiyangdian Yanling team, and the military engineering team behind enemy lines, have become the source of creation of the theme of the Anti-Japanese War.

In June 1946, the 8th Brigade of the 3rd Column of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was reorganized, with Brigade Commander Yi Yaocai and Political Commissar Wang Daobang. In May 1948, the 8th Brigade was transferred to the 2nd Corps of the North China Military Region.

In January 1949, the 8th Brigade was renamed the 188th Division of the 63rd Army, with division commander Song Yulin and political commissar Li Zhen under the jurisdiction of the first regiment.

The 188th Division: The glory of iron and blood in the past, and the glory of the present day! During the War of Liberation, the 188th Division and its predecessor units fought bravely, moved to the two strategic regions of North China and Northwest China, and successively participated in major battles such as Datong, Zhangjiakou, Baobei, Shijiazhuang, Pingjin, Taiyuan, and Lanzhou, making great achievements and making important contributions to the birth of New China.

In December 1950, the 188th Division was reorganized and reequipped in the Zou County area of Shandong, and the division's mountain artillery battalion was expanded into an artillery regiment (later the 568th Artillery Regiment was used).

In February 1951, the 188th Division entered the Korean War with the army. During the Fifth Campaign, the 188th Division fought a bloody battle in Tieyuan, which bought precious time for the main force of the Volunteer Army to retreat north.

Although the past is far away, the spirit of the 188th Division lives on, and they will continue to make greater contributions to the prosperity of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation!

In October 1953, the 188th Division, which returned to China with honors, was stationed in Handan, Hebei Province. In November, the 188th Division formed the 393rd Tank Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment. In September 1968, the 393rd Regiment was transferred to the 6th Tank Division.

In October 1969, the 188th Division moved to Shanxi. In July 1985, the 188th Division was adjusted to the establishment of a type A motorized infantry division, adding a tank regiment and an antiaircraft artillery regiment, and its firepower was more comprehensive.

The 1998 disarmament of 500,000 led to a change in the structure of the 188th Division, in which the 564th Regiment was withdrawn and the tank regiment was changed to an armored regiment. In October 1999, the 188th Division showed a new style in the National Day military parade and ushered in a new era.

In 03, the 200,000 major disarmament, the 188th Division of Mobu was transferred and reorganized, retaining the essence of the bloodline, inheriting the red gene, continuing to carry forward the fine tradition of "dare to fight, dare to fight, and strive for the first", and always maintain the high morale of the first division.

The old photos of the 188th Mobu Division show its excellent tradition over the years, and as a first-class division, its excellent training level and individual quality have always been affirmed. It was on the basis of these advantages that the 188th Mobu Division decided to be reorganized into a mechanized infantry brigade in order to increase its combat effectiveness more quickly.

At the same time, the infantry brigade has an important impact on the future development of our army. The 200,000 major disarmament sessions in 2003 underwent major institutional adjustments, and the Infantry Brigade is one of the ideal institutional structures.

The abolition of the regimental-level structure and flat management has given it a unique advantage in the construction of informationization, and has laid a solid foundation for the enhancement of our army's combat effectiveness.

If the informatization construction is solved"How to fight"The problem is solved, then mechanized construction is solved"What to hit"problems. The mechanized infantry brigade focuses on mechanization and has very high requirements for advanced equipment, firepower matching, and multi-arm synthesis.

Although the number of mechanized infantry brigades is not as large as that of the motorized infantry division, its combat effectiveness is very strong. The Jibu Brigade is the focus of our army's organizational establishment in the early part of the new century, which makes it necessary for the 188th Jibu Brigade to move forward bravely and accumulate experience for the subsequent reorganization (upgrading) of fraternal units into the Jibu Brigade.

Therefore, the 188th Brigade of Jibu shoulders a heavy responsibility. The author has repeatedly emphasized the inheritance of military history, and the fine tradition of the 188th Jibu Brigade will play an indispensable role.
