63rd Army was the Jizhong Column (also known as the Yang Chengwu Column) composed of the main forces of the Jizhong Military Region divisions in 1945. The departments under its jurisdiction were the 11th, 12th, and 13th Brigades. In March 1946, the 11th Brigade Headquarters and 1 regiment, and 13th Brigade 1 regiment were transferred to the Jizhong Military Region. The Jizhong Column was renamed the 3rd Column of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Field Army, and the remaining troops were reorganized into the 7th and 8th Column. trip. In January 1947, the 11th Independent Brigade of the Chahar Military Region was transferred to the 3rd Column and renamed the 9th Brigade. In May 1948, the 3rd Column of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was incorporated into the 2nd Corps of the North China Military Region and was renamed the 3rd Column of the North China Military Region. In January 1949, according to the Central Military Commission's order to unify the organization and unit numbers of the entire army, the 3rd Column of the North China Military Region was renamed the 63rd Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and the 7th, 8th, and 9th Brigades were renamed as the 187th, 188th, and 9th Brigades in sequence. 189th Division. In April, he participated in the attack on Taiyuan. In June, he was transferred back to the First Field Army of China with the Corps to carry out the combat mission of liberating the northwest of China. The famous battle of
63 Army was the Battle of Cheorwon in to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea . After entering North Korea, the 63rd Army participated in the fifth battle. In this battle, the 63rd Army fought bloody battles with the enemy in Cheorwon for 12 days in order to cover the retreat of the large forces, annihilating 15,000 enemies, covering the transfer of troops on the eastern front, and contributing to the transition of our army to defense across the board. After the war, Mr. Peng spoke highly of the 63rd Army: You are a true iron army! After returning to China, the 63rd Army was stationed in Shanxi Province near Gyeonggi Province for a long time as one of the ace armies. The 189th Division was also transferred to Gyeonggi Province to become a garrison division. After the one-million-person disarmament in 1985, the 63rd Army was changed to the 63rd Combined Army. Until the military reform was revoked in 2003, its divisions still continued to evolve in the order of our army.
63 The most famous one in the army is the 188th Division. This division was born in the flames of the Anti-Japanese War. It is an old unit with a glorious tradition, great reputation and outstanding military exploits. The famous "Weiling Team" is the predecessor of the 563rd Regiment. During the War of Liberation, the division participated in the battles of Suiyuan, Zhangjiakou, Qingfengdian, Shijiazhuang, Jidong Pingbei, Pingjin, Taiyuan, Fumei, Lanzhou, Ningxia and other battles. It shocked North China with its tenacious style and powerful attack power. The combat effectiveness is second to none among our military units in North China. It is known as the "Eight Wild Brigades" and is the top main division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. In October 1953, the 188th Division returned to China from North Korea and joined the army to garrison in Shanxi Province. In July 1985, it was reorganized into the 188th Infantry Division of the 63rd Group Army of the Army, implementing the establishment of the Northern Category A Motorized Infantry Division. The establishment was adjusted in 1998. The 188th Division has jurisdiction over the 562nd Regiment, 563rd Regiment, artillery regiment, anti-aircraft artillery regiment and armored regiment. In 2003, the Army's 63rd Group Army was deorganized, and the 188th Infantry Division was reorganized into mechanized infantry brigade and reorganized into the 27th Group Army.
The 188th Motorized Infantry Brigade continues the style of the "Eight Wild Brigades". Before the military reform in 2016, it was known as the four ace motorized infantry brigades of our army together with the 54th Motorized Infantry Brigade, the 190th Motorized Infantry Brigade, and the 235th Motorized Infantry Brigade. After the military reform in 2016, the 188th Motorized Infantry Brigade was changed to the 188th Combined Brigade, which was affiliated to the 82nd Group Army of the Central Theater Command, also known as the Long Live Army. Around 2020, the 112th Infantry Division directly under the original central theater was transformed into a brigade. The 335th regiment and part of the division were added to the synthetic 189th brigade (detailed below), and the rest were organized into the heavily equipped synthetic 112th brigade. In this way, the 82nd Group Army is more powerful than the 112th Infantry Division. Each army has one more combined brigade. Recently, the 12th Synthetic Brigade of the 76th Group Army in the Western Theater Command was disbanded, and the entire brigade was restructured and transferred to the Rocket Army. The 82nd Group Army's 188th Synthetic Brigade was transferred to the 76th Group Army to make up for its shortfall, so that the number of combined field brigades in each group army was the same. As the legitimate son of the 63rd Army, the "Eighth Wild Brigade" was transferred to the 76th Group Army, taking over from the 12th Synthetic Brigade, and rushed from the vicinity of Gyeonggi to the northwest frontier.
After the Korean War , the 187th Division returned to China with the 63rd Army in 1953 and was stationed in Yuci, Shanxi Province for a long time. After the major disarmament in 1985, the 187th Division implemented the B-type infantry division establishment. In October 1996, the Central Military Commission transferred 14 H1B divisions H2H to the Armed Police Force, and the 187th Division was one of them. The 187th Division was renamed the 187th Armed Police Mobile Division, and had jurisdiction over the 559th, 560th, 561st, and 705th Armed Police Regiments. After the armed police force began its military reform in 2017, the two regiments of the 187th Division were combined into a detachment of the First Mobile Corps of the Armed Police Force and continued to be stationed in Shanxi. They were also the only remaining units of the 63rd Army to stay near Gyeonggi Province this time. The remaining troops entered Tibet and became a mobile detachment of the Armed Police Tibet Corps. It can be said that half of the 187th Division came to the western border.
After returning to China with the 63rd Army, the 189th Division was also stationed in Linfen, Yuncheng, Shanxi and other places. It was once one of the first 10 combat readiness divisions of our army. In May 1966, in order to strengthen the capital's security force, the 189th Division moved to Beijing and was affiliated to Beijing Garrison District . In October 1969, it was renamed the 4th Guard Division of Beijing Weiwu District. During the general disarmament in July 1985, the division was transferred back to the 63rd Group Army and reorganized into the 189th Infantry Division of the Army's 63rd Group Army, implementing the establishment of the Northern Type B Motorized Infantry Division. In 1998, it was reorganized into the 189th Motorized Rifle Brigade. In 2003, the brigade was disbanded along with the 63rd Army, which was a pity.
In November 1969, after the 189th Division entered Beijing, the 63rd Army renamed the original 186th Division of the 62nd Army transferred to the 189th Division and became the second 189th Division. After the old 189th Division was transferred back in July 1985, the division was reorganized into the 63rd Army Tank Brigade. In 1998, the original 28th Army of the Army was disbanded, and its 7th Tank Division was transferred to the 63rd Army and reorganized into the 63rd Army Armored Brigade. The original 63rd Army Tank Brigade was disbanded, but some of its units were transferred to the 6th Armored Division of the Long Live Army.
The current synthetic 189th Brigade was newly formed in 2017. In fact, it has no blood connection with the 63rd Army and the 189th Division. It is composed of the 22nd Armored Regiment of the 6th Armored Division of the Long Live Army and the 82nd Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 27th Army. Why was the designation of the 82nd Brigade not adopted? It is estimated that both are ace troops, and it would be good to use either one alone. It just so happened that there was a second 189th Division bloodline remaining in the 22nd Armored Regiment, so it would be good for everyone to adopt the designation of the combined 189th Brigade. , can also be regarded as a continuation of the 189th Division. But around 2020, the 112th Mech Infantry Division was transformed into a brigade. Part of the 335th Regiment and the division joined the combined 189th Brigade, inheriting the blood from the 112th Division and becoming the "Blood Battle Songgu Peak Hero Brigade." In this way, the 189th Brigade has several more synthetic battalions, and service battalions. For a time, there was a lot of talk on the Internet, and they all said that the troops of the old Hehe 189 Brigade were going to enter Xinjiang and Tibet. But in the end, what is certain is that the old Hehe 189 Brigade has two A synthetic battalion was transferred to a certain Red Army division in the Xinjiang Military Region. It was basically considered the 189th Division and went to the western frontier.
Based on this analysis, all the divisions of the 63rd Army were originally located near Gyeonggi, but now only half of the division's bloodline is left, and the remaining two and a half have gone to the western border. Especially the mobilization of his direct son "Yeba Brigade" has a huge impact. (Original please do not reprint)
