The serial batch 81x1x dates from before 1993 when the unit was still named 1st Regiment. In 1993 it was reorganised into 5th Independent Regiment. 18th Rgeiment moved in June 1977 from Dachang to Yuwi and was renumbered 17th Regiment in October 1985. In 2003 5th Independent Regiment was added to the 17th Regiment. By 2019 H-6J had arrived with 91x5 serials indicating that they were flying for the 5th Independent Regiment although no mention of its regiment number is given anymore. In 2020 the serials on the H-6J changed into two-digit serials. Whether it is based at Changzhou/Benniu needs confirmation.
