The 123rd Div orbat thread in the forum is misplaced under the Eastern Theatre Command.

Also, the turret numbers 1XX and 2XX denote at least 2 battalions, right? In the 123rd Div orbat thread, Kcandrew also mentioned in 2012 a PLZ-05 battalion with turret numbers 5XX. Does this mean 123rd Div has a whopping three PLZ-05 battalions?

According to the "Chinese internet" yes

The 123rd Div orbat thread in the forum is misplaced under the Eastern Theatre Command.

Fixed, thanks for the heads up
