1979, our army and the Vietnamese army had a large-scale armed conflict on the border. Since then, the Vietnamese army has been indomitable and continued to harass our border. has caused the lives of people on the border and seriously affected the lives of people on the border.
Based on this situation, our army launched the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam . After more than a month of fierce fighting, the Chinese People's Liberation Army achieved a huge victory and successfully repelled the Vietnamese army that harassed our country's border. Not only did we win the front battlefield, but Vietnam's economy began to decline sharply after this war, and it suddenly regressed for 20 years. What's going on?
The outbreak of the war:
The occurrence of China's counterattack against Vietnam is a clichéd story of a dragon slayer who eventually became an evil dragon. Vietnam was also a weak country that was colonized and bullied in the world anti-fascist war, and also resisted the evil fascist regime with China.
After the end of the World Anti-Fascist War in 1945, Vietnam began a difficult road to independence, and the biggest resistance it suffered was from the United States. With the assistance of the Soviet Union and China, Vietnam successfully drove away the American invaders and had a relatively stable domestic political environment.
But after the domestic situation in Vietnam stabilized, Vietnam began to target China. First of all, the death of Vietnamese founding father Ho Chi Minh . This man is a far-sighted politician who can make correct judgments on the international situation, but after his death.
Le Duan came to power, gained leadership in North Vietnam, and in 1975, he defeated the South Vietnam regime and unified Vietnam. After 1975, the Vietnamese Li Duan Group began to frantically anti-China, provoking armed conflicts on the China-Vietnam border, invading Chinese islands, encroaching on China's border territory, and forcing the People's Liberation Army to fight back.
At the same time, the international situation is also undergoing drastic changes. Time has entered the 1970s. US-Soviet battle for hegemony is entering the situation of the US defending the Soviet offensive. The United States has begun to actively seek reconciliation with China and stabilize the situation in the Asia-Pacific region. The Soviet Union is Vietnam's main sponsor. In the bipolar structure, it sends a friendly signal with one side, which is to take sides. chose the camp under this battle, and after the Soviet Union received this signal.
has also begun to increase aid to Vietnam, or directly secretly fueling the fire, constantly spreading rumors that China is a huge threat to Vietnam in Vietnam. At the same time, after Vietnam defeated the United States, it also felt a significant threat to China, an oriental power in its north. Against this background, Vietnam began to regard China as its enemy.
When making plans to eliminate China's threat, Vietnam also began to launch attacks on neighboring countries to increase its own land area to enhance its sense of security. In China, it began to extinguish China wildly and suppress the normal life of overseas Chinese. caused a large number of overseas Chinese in Vietnam to return to China.
provoked armed conflicts on the Sino-Vietnam border, dispatched armed personnel to cross the border to invade, injured border residents, knocked down boundary markers, eroded the border, and created incidents such as Pu Nianling and Tinghaoshan, and the relationship between China and Vietnam became severe.
tear up the statement that the Vietnamese government recognized that Dongsha Islands , Xisha Islands , Zhongsha Islands , Nansha Islands belonged to China's statement, invading more than 96% of the islands in China's Nansha Islands
In such a severe situation, the Chinese government started from reality, in order to protect our country's territorial integrity, protect the lives and property of military and civilians on our border, and to dispel the arrogance of the anti-peace and anti-human regime within Vietnam, the Military Commission of my country decided to launch a just self-defense counterattack against Vietnam.
In accordance with the orders of the Central Military Commission, Chinese border defense forces carried out self-defense counterattacks against Vietnamese troops that invaded Chinese territory. started a month-long journey to foreign wars.
After the start of the decisive PLA war, the PLA advanced to Vietnam from the Yunnan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in our country, respectively, and began a short one-month counterattack against Vietnam.
The war is divided into three stages. In the first stage, the Chinese government released a message to the world: China's war against Vietnam is absolutely just, to oppose the wanton and unreasonable harassment of the Chinese border of the Vietnamese government, to counter the Vietnamese government's suppression of overseas Chinese, and to curb the stupid thoughts of the Vietnamese authorities' desire to disrupt peace and try to re-stand the stupid thoughts of Indochina Peninsula in the haze of war.
In the second stage, the People's Liberation Army captured the Vietnamese fortress Lang Sang City with lightning speed, greatly suppressing the arrogance of the Vietnamese authorities. played the main purpose of this counterattack against Vietnam.
The third stage is to withdraw troops. The People's Liberation Army of China began to use alternating cover, clearing and retreating while retreating, safely withdrawing the country, and successfully ended the mission.
In this war, there are two most classic battles, one is the People's Liberation Army's blitzkrieg attack on the important town of Gaoping , and the second is to conquer Lang Son. After these two battles, the People's Liberation Army's complete victory over the Vietnam War was basically declared. On February 17, 1979, the People's Liberation Army of entered Vietnam in three groups under the cover of a round of artillery fire.
and a pocket array was built in Dongxi, cutting off the introduction to the Vietnamese army's escape south, and surrounding the 346th Division of the elite army of Vietnam. At the same time, the People's Liberation Army launched a total attack on Gaoping in three directions, and took a day to take this important town that could lead to the capital.
In the second battle, the People's Liberation Army re-used the same trick. First, cleared the Vietnamese strongholds near Lang Sang, put the Vietnamese army in Lang Sang City in an isolated and helpless state, and then implemented the siege tactics to put the defenders in the midst of numerous encirclements.
In this way, as the last heavy city guarding the capital Hanoi , was also taken down by the People's Liberation Army. The subsequent battle was a one-sided one. The People's Liberation Army went deep into the territory for 40 kilometers, and a series of important towns in the north of the capital Hanoi were all captured by the People's Liberation Army. The capital of was only within a hundred miles, which was simply within reach.
The far-sighted PLA
After the preliminary victory on the front battlefield, the PLA began to seek ways to punish Vietnam. Direct bombing may cause large-scale injuries to civilians, and is also not in line with the image of our Justice Division.
If you do not punish Vietnam and use it as a killer to warn monkeys, then you will lose the dignity of a big country and will also encourage the arrogance of other small countries. You will harass you today, and you will invade again tomorrow.
Therefore, in order to protect our country's interests and prevent neighboring countries from continuing to harass our country endlessly, our country decided to punish Vietnam accordingly, mainly showing that it is to demolish the major transportation routes in Vietnam and carry out relevant infrastructure demolition. Under necessary circumstances and sufficient conditions, relevant working facilities can be demolished. has achieved the purpose of further cracking down on Vietnam's economy.
At the same time, relevant defense measures in northern Vietnam were demolished. For Vietnam, their territory was narrow. If there were enemies invasion in the north, the defense line was short and the defense tasks were all placed on several important towns in the north.
If the defense measures in the north are removed, even if Vietnam still has wolf ambitions, it will have to worry about the loss of its capital. It can curb Vietnam's expansion mentality at will and can completely solve the problem of Vietnam's harassment of our borders. After determining the strategic policy, our army began to demolish Vietnam's protective measures, infrastructure and transportation routes. Destroy Vietnam's economic lifeline and make rational use of tactics to ensure that you can do your best to destroy Vietnam's infrastructure while retreating.
destroys Vietnam's economic lifeline and slows down its economic development. This strategy was very successful, not only destroying most of the infrastructure in Vietnam, but also destroyed the northern defense line that Vietnam relied on. caused Vietnam to dare not launch a large-scale attack for some time.
Moreover, due to large-scale infrastructure destruction, Vietnam's economy is difficult to develop, and it takes a lot of time to rebuild the major transportation routes to ensure the redevelopment of the economy. It took about 20 years for to develop the economy back to pre-war levels. This move also launched a heavy blow to Vietnam's economy. It made Vietnam, which had already relied heavily on Soviet aid, bleeded heavily.
From then on, due to the large-scale destruction of industrial facilities, Vietnam can only rely on agriculture and tourism to support the country's economy. As for industry, it comes completely from the transfer of low-end industries in developed countries and has no pillar industries at all. In the modern age of the 21st century, it still adheres to the principle of relying on the weather to make a living.
The aftermath of the punishment measures
In many years since then, the Vietnamese authorities once again recalled this war of aggression against neighboring countries and felt regretful. After all, after the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War, they finally drove away. The American invaders achieved their own independence and were exploring the future. When they were exploring the future, ruined this great future due to their wrong actions.
But this is also their own fault, and the dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon. I was also suffering from war back then, but now I have to spread the pain caused by these artillery fire to other countries for their own selfishness. During the anti-fascist war, all the countries on the Indochina Peninsula shared the same hatred.
and oppose the fascist invasion together, but now Vietnam is pushing its friends to impose the pain it has suffered on its brother country. can be regarded as a typical representative of the dragon slayer who eventually becomes an evil dragon.
At the same time, the country's behavior is based on its own economic foundation and the specific international situation. Although Vietnam has received a large amount of aid from the Soviet Union, its own economic structure is not healthy enough, and the Soviet Union's aid itself is a treatment of symptoms but not the root cause. Vietnam itself has no ability to start a war.
In the long-term tug-of-war, countries with strong comprehensive national strength can drag small countries into their familiar battlefield through a stable economic structure and sound regime model, thereby causing a dimensionality reduction strike and winning.
So Vietnam overestimated its strength and rashly launched border harassment against China, which was easily defeated by China with a strong strength. This also led to nearly twenty years of economic development in Vietnam.
For a small country like Vietnam, twenty years is too long. This action has caused considerable losses to Vietnam. At the same time, it has also curbed Vietnam's large-scale attack on our border from a certain perspective from .
However, since the Soviet Union has always adhered to its Southeast Asian strategy, even though the aid to Vietnam went bankrupt this time, he still insisted that Vietnam is a key country that can be used to constrain China and must not give up this important partner easily.
So after this war, the Soviet Union still insisted on aid to Vietnam, which also helped Vietnam quickly repair the defense line in the north. After that, Vietnam continued to harass our borders, but none of them reached the huge scale before the war. After this war, Vietnam was greatly damaged. The initiator of the war was finally subject to the sanctions he deserved.
Conclusion:
Under the deception of the Soviet Union, Vietnam insisted on believing that China in the north is the biggest obstacle to its future development process. It has always adhered to the implementation of the anti-China policy, and targeted China everywhere in international affairs and national boundaries, mistakenly thinking that China will hinder Vietnam's many development levels.
In fact, this is not the case. Vietnam's biggest enemy is poverty, and its most important goal is development. After repelling the invaders, what Vietnam should do is not how to expand its existing results and invade other countries. Instead, it should stabilize the situation, maintain the current development situation, and continue to carry out economic construction and consolidation of the political system.
Invasion of other countries is not only not in the interests of the Vietnamese people, but also in the interests of ordinary people in other countries. At the same time, it is also singing opposite to the tide of world peace. is turning a backwards in history and will definitely fail.
Compared with Vietnam's radicalization, after the World Anti-Fascist War, China did not aggressively invade and attack neighboring countries, but instead steadily improved its national strength and construction level. We even helped Vietnam within our ability.
Although we did not get good results in the end, at least we showed our desire for peace. Even if we had nothing, we still tried our best to help the good brothers of socialism in difficult situations.
We always adhere to the idea of the world Datong , hoping to build a community with a shared future for mankind. This is our future concept and the policy that the Chinese people have always adhered to. I hope that in the days to come, more and more countries in can uphold the principles of development and maintain international peace and order!
