I would love to see an orbat for whole of PLAGF XMD including the composition of each division in terms of H/M/L CAR. Also do we know why XMD maintained divisions when rest of PLAGF switched to Group Armies and CAB?

PLAGF Combined Arms Division
So they are really similar in nature for the announced new US armored division , PLA kept few divisions in it's battle order and US is bringing it back and making it the basic field unit once again .
Seem to me this suggest that both side think that for land engagement , a brigade sized unit are just not big enough , you need division , and corps.

1. Terrain profile
2. Large frontage, similar to Russian divs for certain areas
3. Defence orientation

My understanding was that PLAGF was organized into Army Groups (would be equal to Corps in other armies) composed of a variety of Brigades. When did the Division come back?
The Xinjiang Military District was relatively untouched from the brigadization efforts in 2017, and the PLA still maintains regiments in the both the Xinjiang Military District and Tibet Military District as frontier defense units.

How many Mengshi and MV3 122mm Howitzers are there in the 122mm gun companies under the artillery battalion of a HIMOB?
There seems to be 9 launcher vehicles/company for mengshi 122mm MLRS, but the 122mm tube guns always appear in group of 6 in footages, kinda intriguing
