In the mid-1970s, with the end of the Vietnam War, the html people successfully drove away the US military and established the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, which was indispensable for the support of the Chinese people. When the People's Republic of China had just been founded and everything was waiting for improvement, it sent more than a thousand soldiers and military advisers to support the Vietnamese people's independence cause. They helped the Vietnamese people drive away the French colonists, and together with the Soviet Union, they helped North Vietnam Defeated the South Vietnam supported by the United States and unified the entire territory of Vietnam.
China has successively provided assistance of up to 20 billion US dollars to Vietnam. Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh was also very grateful for China's help and wrote the great man's ideological masterpiece into the party constitution . At that time, Vietnam could be described as China’s “good neighbor and good brother.”
However, with the death of Ho Chi Minh, Le Duan came to power and became the leader of Vietnam. After achieving national reunification, Le Duan and others did not seize the peaceful opportunity after the war to promote economic development. Instead, under the instigation of the Soviet Union, it vigorously promoted regional hegemony and invaded Cambodia and other neighboring countries. It promotes the ultra-left line in the country and attempts to realize the "Indo-China Federation" in the Indochina Peninsula.
Under the guidance of the wrong line, Vietnam began to openly oppose China, and a large number of overseas Chinese in Vietnam were deported back to the country. The Vietnamese army also deliberately overturned boundary markers and injured people on our border. It even wantonly annexes islands in the South China Sea. This is no longer a provocation, but an act of outright hostility and aggression.
At the end of 1978, General Xu Shiyou, commander of the Nanjing Military Region, deputy minister of defense, and founding general of the People's Republic of China, went to Nanning to prepare to command the upcoming self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. As soon as General Xu arrived in Nanning, he said: "There are hidden spies in Vietnam."
In order to prepare for the second year of operations, our army began to gather troops to the southwest border very early. The schedule changes of important commanders like Xu Shiyou are even more secrets. However, after General Xu arrived in Nanning, he discovered that a foreign newspaper had published news of his arrival in Nanning.
What does this mean? This means that Nanning has already let enemy agents infiltrate into a sieve! General Xu was furious and asked local officials and the military region how to arrange the work. However, it was useless to be angry at this point. Xu Shiyou decided not to hide his personal itinerary and let the media follow and report it. At the same time, arrange the local public security and security departments to start eliminating spies as soon as possible without affecting combat operations.
Then General Xu began high-profile inspection activities. During the day, he accompanied the local leaders, pretending to visit the mountains and rivers, and occasionally went into the mountains for hunting. At night, he returned to the army to discuss the terrain and landforms surveyed during the day and prepare for the battle plan. Under the intensive arrangements of the local public security and army, a large number of Vietnamese spies were captured.
It turns out that there were a large number of Vietnamese spies distributed along the Vietnam railway built when China supported the Vietnam war. Moreover, Vietnamese businessmen in China also have many spies, and many of them have even received professional training from the KGB . In order to eliminate spies, the central government temporarily closed the China-Vietnam Free Trade Zone and carefully investigated whether Vietnamese businessmen in China were carrying equipment for photography and information transmission. And inspected the staff along the China-Vietnam Railway one by one. A large number of spies were captured who were sending our country's intelligence abroad.
After knocking out the spy group, the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam started smoothly. Since Vietnam was unable to receive the military deployment situation in our territory, it was caught off guard. In less than half a month, it was pushed to the capital, Hanoi, by our army. Hanoi . The effect of our army's warning to Vietnam has been achieved, and within two days it destroyed the infrastructure and military facilities that our country had assisted Vietnam in building. Then withdrew the troops to our territory.
The impact of this war was far-reaching. Our army successfully disrupted the strategic deployment of the Soviet Union and Vietnam and won the stability of the domestic situation. Further stabilized the international situation in Southeast Asia. It laid a solid foundation for the stability of southern my country.Among them, General Xu Shiyou's keen insight and correct strategic command played a crucial role.
