== History ==
In 1952, the 45th Army Headquarter, the 134th Division and [[135th Division (People's Republic of China)|135th Division]] merged with the [[130th Division (People's Republic of China)|130th Division]]
In 1959, it participated in Tibet insurgency operations. In 1962, it participated in the [[Sino-Indian War of 1962]], and the 130th Division defeated the 11th Infantry Brigade of the Indian Army in the Battle of Walong.<br>

At the same time, the [[127th Mechanized Infantry Division (People's Republic of China)|127th Division]] of the 43rd Army captured [[Lang Son]] and defeated the main force of the Vietnamese army. The commander of the 127th Division at that time was [[Zhang Wannian]], who was later the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission.<br>
In 1985, the 54th Army was reorganized into the 54th Group Army, which governed the 160th Infantry Division and the 162nd Infantry Division, and the 161st Division was reorganized into an artillery brigade. The 127th Infantry Division of the 43rd Army was transferred to the group army.
