In 1985, the Chinese army underwent a major organizational adjustment, and the 127th Division of the 43rd Army was withdrawn from its original structure and then transferred to the 54th Group Army of the Jinan Military Region. This change raised many questions about the division's location and history, particularly about the division's location and the evolution of its regiments prior to its transfer. Let's review and discuss the history of the 127th Division and the locations of its regiments in the formation prior to its transfer.
The history of the 127th Division dates back to 1948, when it was reorganized from the 16th Division of the 6th Column of Higashino, with the 379th, 380th and 381st Regiments under its command. This division experienced many battles during the Liberation War, from the Black Water of the White Mountains to Hainan Island, and was the first-class main division designated by the head of the field division at that time. During that period, the 127th Division participated in the most battles in the history of our army, had rich combat experience, had a brave style, was good at attack and defense, and was not afraid of sacrifice. It is fully equipped, has a strong marching ability, and is good at hard fighting. Thus, the 127th Division earned the reputation of the "Iron Army Division". However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of the soldiers of the division participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, while the 43rd Army was stationed on Hainan Island.
In December 1952, the 127th Division undertook the task of reorganization and formed the divisional tank regiment (later renamed the 332nd Tank Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment) and the Division Artillery Regiment (later renamed the 507th Artillery Regiment in 1953 and renamed the Artillery Regiment in 1969). Subsequently, the 43rd Army was withdrawn, and the 127th Division was transferred to the direct administration of the Guangzhou Military Region and became part of the Guangzhou Military Region. In August 1961, the 333rd Tank Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment of the 128th Division was transferred to the 127th Division, and the 332nd Tank Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment was transferred to the 128th Division. In September 1968, the 43rd Army was rebuilt, the 127th Division was relocated with the army, the division headquarters was stationed in Luoyang, and during this period the 333rd Tank Self-propelled Artillery Regiment was transferred to the 141st Division of the 47th Army. In October 1969, the 127th Division moved to Henan with the army, and the division headquarters was stationed in Luoyang.
In 1985, China carried out large-scale military disarmament, the 43rd Army was withdrawn, and the 127th Division was transferred to the 54th Group Army of the Jinan Military Region, and the Northern Armored Motor Rifle Division was organized. In this readjustment, in addition to retaining the original regimental composition, the anti-aircraft artillery regiment (formerly the anti-aircraft artillery regiment of the 43rd Army) and the tank regiment (the former tank regiment of the 43rd Army) were also added, making the 127th Division one of the most powerful field divisions of our army at that time.
To understand the basic evolution and stationing of each regiment before the 127th Division was officially transferred to the 54th Army, let's review them one by one:
379th Regiment (stationed: Luoyang Guanlin): The predecessor of the 379th Regiment dates back to November 1924, when it was part of an ironclad convoy. Subsequently, this regiment was reorganized into the 34th Regiment of the 12th Division of the 4th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with Ye Ting as the regiment commander. In 1926, the regiment was reorganized as a regiment directly under the 4th Army, also known as the "Ye Ting Independent Regiment". The achievements of this regiment are brilliant, needless to say. Before the 127th Division was officially transferred to the 54th Army, the regimental headquarters of the 379th Regiment was stationed in Guanlin, Luoyang, a place located on the north bank of Luoshui, looking south to Yique, and there was an important railway station, namely Guanlin Station, which was the starting station of the Jiaozhi Railway and the Luoyi Railway, and had important military and transportation value.
Division Artillery Regiment (station: Yuchi County): The predecessor of the division artillery regiment was a mountain artillery battalion composed of the 7th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Northeast Artillery Mixed Brigade and the 2nd and 4th Companies of the Hejiang Military Region Artillery, and later expanded into an artillery regiment in December 1952. This regiment later grew and became an important artillery unit of our army. Before the 127th Division was transferred to the 54th Army, the regimental headquarters of the divisional artillery regiment was stationed in Yuchi County, which was located in the Luoyang area and later transferred to Sanmenxia City. The county is geographically diverse, including mountains, hills, river valleys and rivers, and the Longhai Railway also runs through it.
380th Regiment (station: Xin'an County): The 380th Regiment has a long history, it is known as the "Autumn Harvest Uprising Red Second Regiment", and is famous for its pioneering "branch built on the company" in the early days of the army. This regiment has distinguished itself in several important battles and has Red Army roots. Before the 127th Division was officially transferred to the 54th Army, the headquarters of the 380th Regiment was located in Xin'an County, which is located in the western part of Luoyang City and includes various terrains such as mountains, hills, river valleys, and rivers, and the Longhai Railway also crosses the county.
381st Regiment (station: Luoyang Xin'an County): The predecessor of the 381st Regiment was the Huxi Brigade of the Suluyu Detachment, which was a combination of the Special Service Battalion of the Suluyu Detachment, the Guard Battalion of the Party Committee of the Sulu-Yu Border District, and the Lakeside Headquarters of Yutai, Shandong, and had a certain Red Army blood. Although the history of the regiment is not as long as that of the 379th and 380th regiments, it is also a heroic force with a brave style and both attack and defense. Before the 127th Division was officially transferred to the 54th Army, the regimental headquarters of the 381st Regiment was also stationed in Xin'an County, which was located west of Luoyang City and intersected with the Longhai Railway.
Through these historical reviews, we can get a clearer picture of the history of the regiments of the 127th Division before the organizational reorganization and the location of their garrisons. It also helps us to understand the history and traditions of the division, as well as its place in the history of our army. After undergoing many organizational adjustments, the bloodline of the 127th Division was divided into two branches, which were subordinate to the 82nd and 83rd Army of the Central Theater Army, respectively, and continued to carry forward the red bloodline and contribute to the new journey of strengthening the army.
