As a side note, 52nd mountain brigade is the last old KMT outfit still in service with PLA, it was the toughest division PLA faced during the civil war and it made such a great impression, after the surrender PLA leave the entry rank and files intact to preserve the fighting strength. It was adopted as the "fire brigade" of the 4th field army and reported directly to the field army HQ; it was credited with the defect of the British battalion during the Korean War. It was re-numbered to 52nd infantry division in 1969
The 127th division is generally considered to be an old Republican outfit dated back to the 1911 revolution, not a KMT outfit.

Fascinating!
The HJ-9 is generally assumed to be analogous to an Israeli ATGM and the best Chinese ATGM in service, equal to the Kornet series in performance, albeit not manportable.
