India is our country's neighbor and a great oriental country.
In the 1960s, due to India's gains, our country launched a self-defense counterattack against India. In the years since
, my country's policy on India has mainly focused on peace.
However, in recent years, India has begun to invade our Tibetan border again and often has small-scale frictions with our army.
The protagonist we are talking about today is a person who made the Indian army very afraid. The Indian army even gave him a code name - "Poison".
This person is our protagonist today - General Zhao Zongqi of .
01 has made many great achievements
Zhao Zongqi was born in 1955 in a farmer family in Heilongjiang.
The poor family background and the cold climate of Heilongjiang polish the blood of this Northeastern man. The Zhenbao Island counterattack that broke out when Zhao Zongqi was 14 years old made him hear a lot of heroic deeds of the People's Liberation Army, so he wanted to join the army.
Not long after, recruitment began in most areas of Heilongjiang. Zhao Zongqi, who received the news, knew that he wanted to seize the opportunity and quickly submitted an application for enlistment. Afterwards, he passed the selection layer by layer. Not long after, Zhao Zongqi received a notice asking him to serve in Yunnan.
The troops served by Zhao Zongqi were a unit with great military achievements, and were once commanded by the founding general Comrade Chen Geng.
, and Zhao Zongqi was still in the recruit company , and he attracted attention because of his outstanding training results. Later, he was assigned to the spy company.
At that time, the Vietnamese army continued to disturb the people on our border, and the spy company where Zhao Zongqi was located was often received to expel the Vietnamese army.
In a series of tasks, Zhao Zongqi made many contributions with his excellent military qualities and was soon promoted to platoon leader. 2 years later, due to his outstanding performance, he was transferred to the regiment headquarters to serve as the investigative officer.
1979, in order to safeguard sovereignty, protect border residents, and also for international reputation, our country decided to launch a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam .
It was a very cruel war, and Zhao Zongqi also participated.
At that time, his mission was to reconnaise the enemy's situation.
Once, he led a spy platoon and secretly sneaked into the enemy's defense zone for reconnaissance. After the investigation, they sneaked into an enemy squad, shot one person and captured two people. And obtained a lot of intelligence.
In the more than a month after this, , who was on the battlefield for the first time, Zhao Zongqi became more and more braver in the battle. He led people to the Vietnamese military defense zone many times and made many extraordinary achievements.
After the end of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, our army underwent streamlining and reorganization, and many people recovered and returned home. However, Zhao Zongqi was promoted to the commander of the Hero Regiment. At that time, he was only 30 years old, and he was young and promising.
However, Zhao Zongqi's achievements in the army did not stop.
In the next few years, with his excellent achievements and excellent qualities, he was successively promoted to important positions such as brigade commander and military chief of staff.
02 A powerful "poison"
As a soldier, Zhao Zongqi is very "selfless" and has a serious expression, which is daunting, especially when facing the enemy.
It is said that in 1984, during the Laoshan Round Battle, our army captured a stubborn Vietnamese cadre. Faced with our army's interrogation, he was reluctant to speak, let alone disclose information.
So, the interrogator invited Zhao Zongqi.
Zhao Zongqi is very tall, 1.8 meters tall. His years of military training have made him burly and firm in his eyes. After entering the interrogation room, he saw that the Vietnamese military cadres refused to speak. After a angrily shouted, he slapped his palm on the table. Zhao Zongqi's momentum frightened the Vietnamese military cadres. He exhaled his energy on the spot and revealed a lot of information. After
, Zhao Zongqi went to Zaire, Africa to serve as a military adviser, which enriched his military career.After returning to China, Zhao Zongqi was sent to Tibet in 1992 as the commander of the 52nd Brigade.
After Zhao Zongqi took office, he focused on military training and military construction. The combat effectiveness of the 52nd Brigade was quickly improved rapidly and became a first-level advanced unit in the entire army.
52 Brigade is a force deployed by our army on the border. The Indian army has dealt with the 52nd Brigade many times and has never eaten any good results. Therefore, the Indian army not only saw the series of activities of the 52nd Brigade, but also regarded Zhao Zongqi as a very deterrent "poison".
03 General of the Republic
2001, Zhao Zong Qi was awarded the rank of major general, when he was only 46 years old.
15 years later, in 2016, Zhao 11, Zong Qi was transferred to the commander of Western Theater Command.
This year, he was promoted to general.
Zhao Zongqi knew that Due to historical reasons, the territorial dispute between China and India is very high, so the Western Theater Command should mainly defend the Sino-Indian border.
In response to this issue, he not only strengthened the deployment of the Sino-Indian border, but also visited India in the year he took office, in order to reach a consensus with India, peacefully resolve border conflicts, and work together to seek economic development of .
However, India has one set on the surface and another behind the scenes. The talks were clearly agreed to by good, but they continued to provoke after the talks, and even crossed the border for exploration and patrol.
targets India's shamelessness, Zhao Zongqi turns to to adopt a tough attitude, and takes measures such as expulsion and full-process surveillance against cross-border behavior.
In 2017, our army and the Indian army had a fierce confrontation. The Indian army invaded the Doklam area and even added 40,000 troops, which was arrogant. Zhao Zongqi responded properly in it.
At the end of 2020, 65-year-old Zhao Zongqi retired.
This news caused a carnival among the Indian army. However, "If you offend me, you will be punished even if you are far away." No matter who Zhao Zongqi's successor is, he will not be ruthless to them.
This year, General Zhao Zongqi is 66 years old. Here, wishes him good health and all the best.
