Stephen Gammons from the United States Army Center of Military History said this: The enemy [Chinese] force that brought tragedy to the 8th Cavalry at Unsan was the CCF’s 116th Division.

[2] The formation appears to still be active with the 39th Group Army in the Northern Theater Command, as the 116th Mechanised Infantry Division.

[3] The division was involved with the rest of the 39th Army in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.

On the evening of 3 June, Xu Feng, the division commander, switched to plain clothes and carried out his own reconnaissance of the city.

[4] Thereafter, the division maintained radio silence and did not advance on Beijing, except for the 347th Regiment under Ai Husheng, which complied with orders and went to Tiananmen Square on 4 June.
