Vietnamese Female Soldier
Vietnam was originally one of the three core vassal states of the Central Plains Dynasty (the other two were Ryukyu and Goryeo) and was once known as "Little China". In the 8th year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1803), Emperor Jiaqing responded to the request of Nguyen Phuc Anh and granted the country the name "Vietnam" and canonized Nguyen Phuc Anh as the "King of Vietnam". This is the origin of the name of Vietnam.
Throughout the dynasties, Vietnam has been learning from the Central Plains dynasty in all aspects, such as adopting the Central Plains dynasty's costumes, imperial examination system and writing, etc.
After the founding of New China, China and Vietnam ushered in a period of "comrades and brothers" during Vietnam's resistance to France and the United States. However, due to various reasons, the two countries fought a border war for ten years from 1979 to 1989.
What’s interesting is that although the two countries are fighting each other, Vietnam, from the government to the military, has been keeping a close eye on China and learning from China in all aspects. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is following China’s footsteps.
1. China is engaged in reform and opening up , and Vietnam is engaged in reform and opening up .
In December 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China established the policy that China would begin to implement internal reforms and open to the outside world.
html Seven years later, in 1986, Vietnam implemented the famous reform and opening up, which is equivalent to the Vietnamese version of reform and opening up.At that time, Vietnam closely followed the Soviet Union and was an enemy of China and the United States. It was able to make such a 180-degree turn. The traditional habit of taking the Central Plains dynasty as its teacher for thousands of years was indispensable.
2. The People's Liberation Army engaged in rotational warfare, and the Vietnamese army followed suit.
After the troops participating in the rotational warfare entered the theater, they first had to conduct several months of pre-war training.
In 1984, the 40th Division of the 14th Army recovered Laoshan, and the 31st Division of the 11th Army recovered Yinshan.
Later, the General Staff Headquarters organized army-wide troop rotations in accordance with the instructions of the Military Commission leader "The troops should adopt rotation methods to train more troops and turn it into a training ground" In the battle, the 14th Army and the 11th Army of the Kunming Military Region, the 1st Army of the Nanjing Military Region, the 67th Army of the Jinan Military Region, the 47th Group Army of the Lanzhou Military Region, the 27th Group Army of the Beijing Military Region and the 13th Army of the Chengdu Military Region participated in the battle. This is the famous Two Mountains Battle .
For example, the 1st Army of the Nanjing Military Region fought in rotation from December 7, 1984 to May 30, 1985. It had jurisdiction over the 1st Infantry Division of the 1st Army,
the 36th Infantry Division of the 12th Army, and the 9th Artillery Division of the Nanjing Military Region.
During the war, the 67th Army had jurisdiction over the 199th Infantry Division, the 200th Infantry Division, the 138th Infantry Division of the 46th Army, and the 12th Artillery Division of the Jinan Military Region.
After the news of the People's Liberation Army's rotational warfare was learned by the Vietnamese army, the Vietnamese army followed suit and began to engage in rotational warfare:
According to the war history of the Vietnamese army, the Weichuan front line (i.e., the Liangshan front line) underwent a total of 9 defense changes.
's first defense change was about half a year later than the People's Liberation Army. In April 1985, the 981st Regiment of the Vietnamese Army took over from the 149th Regiment and 876th Regiment of the 356th Division (in the direction of Laoshan and 662.6 Highlands). The 982 Regiment replaced the 14th Regiment and the 122nd Regiment of the 313 Division (in the direction of Nala), and the above three directions were west of the Lujiang River; the 983 Regiment replaced the 266th Regiment of the 313 Division (in the east of the Lujiang River, that is, the direction of Dongshan Mountain of the Bali River).
The last and ninth defense change was in December 1989. The 14th Regiment of the 313th Division took over the defense of the 122nd Regiment (west of the Lujiang River); the 5th Battalion of Weichuan County, Ha Xuan Provincial Military Command took over the defense of the 247th Regiment (east of the Lujiang River).
3. The People's Liberation Army disarmament, and the Vietnamese army also disarmament
Although the front lines of two mountains were fighting, China started a million-strong disarmament on November 1, 1984. By 1985, the total number of military personnel had dropped from 4.3 million to 3.235 million. In 1985, the country's total population was 1.059 billion, with 327 people supporting one soldier.
In 1984, Vietnam's population was 59.513 million, but it had a standing army of more than 1.2 million. It took 50 people to support one soldier, and it was in a two-front combat state. Vietnam could not afford the huge armament consumption. In 1987, at the Second Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Vietnam's top leaders decided to reduce its military by one-third, which is about 400,000 people. But by 1988, the number of disarmament increased to one-half, with a total planned disarmament of more than 600,000 people.
4. The People's Liberation Army changes its uniforms, and the Vietnamese army also changes accordingly.
If rotational warfare and disarmament are indeed necessary for both armies, then it would be too intuitive for the Vietnamese army to follow the People's Liberation Army and change its uniforms.
During the Anti-U.S. War, the Vietnamese female soldiers had a vibrant face. It is said that their appearance far surpassed that of Korean plastic surgery beauties.
During the Anti-U.S. War, many Vietnamese guerrillas did not have military uniforms. Later, after the reunification of Vietnam, the military uniforms learned from the Soviet army, and the People's Liberation Army's Type 65 military uniforms were worn until 1984.
Then the People's Liberation Army and the Vietnamese Army both wore big-brimmed hats, but the People's Liberation Army later replaced the female soldiers with rolled-brimmed hats. The Vietnamese army took a look and wondered what there was to say. One word: change!
In the past, the navy sailor uniforms of the Chinese and Vietnamese navies were the same:
When the editor arrived at the South China Sea Fleet of the Navy in 1989, the sea anchor epaulettes were replaced by military ranks
The People's Liberation Army Navy came up with the chest badge, and the Vietnamese Navy quickly followed suit, and immediately copied it:
It seems that there is something missing from the chest badge of the military uniform?
By the way, the People's Liberation Army requires that the house be clean and tidy, and quilts must be folded into "dried tofu". The Vietnamese Army must also have this!
Vietnamese soldiers’ “dried tofu”
