We know that after the founding of New China, our country has rarely experienced wars. Among the few battles, the experience of another naval battle was impressive, because it was the only naval battle in our country in recent years. The Sino-Vietnamese Xisha naval battle was the only naval battle our country experienced after the founding of New China. After this battle, our country defeated the Vietnamese navy and successfully recovered the Paracel Islands, which had been occupied by South Vietnam for decades, covering an area of more than 500,000 square kilometers. After this battle, the South China Sea gained more than 40 years of stability and peace.
According to data records, in the late 1950s, the Vietnamese navy was very rampant and repeatedly attacked my country's Xisha Coral Island. After being countered by my country many times, Vietnam actually made an astonishing move. It was at the end of its rope. Vietnam actually directly announced that some islands in China's Nansha Islands would be included in their jurisdiction. And it also dispatched a fleet to station, which undoubtedly touched our country's bottom line. Although our country has always advocated peace, our country has decided not to tolerate this kind of infringement of territory and sovereignty. At that time, Vietnam was backed by the United States, and its warships were almost all American-style warships with very powerful combat capabilities.
The total tonnage of the four warships of the Vietnamese Navy in the South China Sea has exceeded 5,000 tons, but the total tonnage of the five Chinese warships at that time was less than 2,000 tons. In addition to the difference in tonnage, the firepower of Vietnamese warships is also superior to ours. Their naval guns are more numerous, have thicker barrels, and are more powerful. Even in the face of such a huge gap, our country has never given up its determination to regain its territory. Faced with the Vietnamese navy's constant provocative behavior, our navy decided not to tolerate it anymore and it was time to fight back and teach them a lesson. Under precise deployment, they annihilated 4 Vietnamese warships in one go.
Then our army pursued the victory and was beaten so hard that the Vietnamese army had to return all the Xisha Islands to China. This battle completely destroyed our country's momentum, and Vietnam never dared to covet our territory again. After my country successfully recovered 500,000 square kilometers of territory, under China's protection, it has enjoyed peace and stability for more than 40 years. However, the constant harassment by the US fleet has made the originally calm situation here once again become turbulent. Our country’s experts have also expressed their attitude and position. Any invading enemy is a paper tiger and must be defeated at all costs. Those who offend China must be punished no matter how far away they are!
