Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, we have experienced many wars, large and small. Although the People's Liberation Army (PLA) brought down the Vietnamese forces in only 28 days in the Sino-Vietnamese War, in a broad sense, the war actually lasted for ten years.
Vietnam is a country, in the war with the United States, it received assistance from several countries and won in one fell swoop. Since then, it has been infinitely expanding.
It was also during this period that Vietnam wantonly occupied China's Hainan Island territory and injured China's border guards, and since then there have been constant frictions on the Sino-Vietnamese border.
In order to combat Vietnam's arrogance, our country finally decided to give the Vietnamese a little color.
**After the meeting and consultation, it was finally decided to counterattack Vietnam, and it took only a month to defeat the Vietnamese army until it approached Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.
However, at the moment of our victory, the PLA was ordered to retreat:We only fought Vietnam to defeat their arrogance, not to launch an aggressive war against them.
Later, the Sino-Vietnamese war of small friction lasted for about 10 years. What has China gained during this period?What was the reason for the Sino-Vietnamese war to drag on for so long?
Vietnam is a small country located in the south of our country, although the land area of Vietnam is not large, but it has a very important strategic position in Southeast Asia and even the entire Asian region, because its southeast is close to the coast, the strategic position is very important.
At that time, the Soviet Union wanted to contain China by uniting with Vietnam。In fact, as early as 1978, the Soviet Union had leased a port called Cam Ranh Bay in southern Vietnam, and the lease period was as long as 25 years.
The Soviet Union originally wanted to rely on the lease of Vietnam's port of Cam Ranh Bay in order to build its own military power in the Strait of Malacca, so as to control foreign ** and ships passing through it. The Soviets were very ambitious, and they also tried to lease the waterways of Africa and South America in an attempt to control parts of the Red Sea, but ultimately failed.
In this way, the Soviets and Vietnam could form a north-south flank against China, so as to force China to submit to the Soviets. At the same time, the Soviets united with Vietnam, North Korea, and India to unanimously resist China.
In fact, as early as the fifties of the last century, relations between China and the Soviet Union were very good, we also called the USSR our "big brother" at that time. Later, however, since the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Sino-Soviet relations have been discordant or even completely broken.
After the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, China entered a period of brand-new economic development for the whole country, and China devoted all its energy to the military economy, including the "two bombs and one satellite." At the same time, there is also a desire to create a navy that truly belongs to us.
In 1958, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev visited China in a vain attempt to establish a long-wave radio station and a combined fleet with China in China, but the ownership was not China's, but theirs, the Soviet Union. Of course, our national leaders will certainly not agree, because this involves the later stage of our being sent by the Soviets.
With the failure of this cooperation, cracks began to appear in Sino-Soviet relations, the Soviets recalled all the technicians sent to our country and no longer provided any technical assistance to our country.
In August of the same year, shortly after Khrushchev's return from his visit to China, China ordered the People's Liberation Army to bombard Kinmen, and the United States sent a fleet to blockade the Taiwan Strait. Perhaps the Americans mistakenly believed that China's actions were related to the Soviet Union, and this is also unknown.
Since then, Sino-Soviet relations have entered a state of rupture. In addition, Nixon's visit to China in the 70s of the last century started an "ice-breaking journey" between China and the United States, and China and the United States began to establish diplomatic relations, and Sino-Soviet relations could no longer be repaired.
At the same time, the Soviet Union also formally intended to contain and contain China through Vietnam, North Korea, and India, and continued to provide economic and military assistance to these countries.
It was also the Soviets who supported the Vietnamese behind their backs, so that the Vietnamese had no fear and wantonly expanded abroad. Against this background, the Sino-Vietnamese self-defense counterattack officially broke out.
Back in the Qing Dynasty, Vietnam was actually just a vassal state of our country. Later, Vietnam was occupied by France. During the period of French occupation, the French expanded aggressively around Korea, and included part of Cambodia and Laos under their rule.
Then, under French rule, Vietnam was able to develop rapidly. But it was not until the forties of the last century, due to repeated defeats in World War II, that France had to withdraw from Vietnam.
At this time, the Vietnamese originally wanted to achieve reunification by themselves, but they did not expect that the Japanese, who were also in the fascist camp, directly led the army to forcibly occupy the Vietnamese region. During the Japanese occupation, the Japanese were more brutal than the French, making the local population miserable and unable to survive.
At this time, the Vietnamese guerrillas were born to rebel against Japan.
After the defeat in World War II, Japan also withdrew from Vietnam, at a time when the French tried to regain control of Vietnam, but the Vietnamese certainly did not agree. Although France also waged war against Vietnam again, with the assistance of many countries, the French intentions ended in failure.
After the French withdrawal, the United States entered Vietnam, and the United States believed that this was the best time to occupy Vietnam. Vietnam now began to organize troops to fight against the United States, and it was at this time that the Soviet Union also openly carried out official aid operations against Vietnam.
The Soviets provided assistance to Vietnam, both economically and militarily, for twenty years. As a matter of fact, the purpose of the Soviet Union's assistance to Vietnam was very obvious, and it only wanted to grab greater benefits for itself through its assistance to Vietnam.
First, by aiding Vietnam, the Soviet Union could contain and restrain the United States for a long time, which could greatly weaken the military and economic strength of the United States.
Secondly, the Soviets still attach more importance to the port of Cam Ranh Bay in the south of Vietnam, which can make the Vietnamese agree to the Soviets to park on their own port**, and it can also curb the right of passage of the waterway in the Strait of Malacca, so as to form a regional military strength.
Moreover, the Soviets wanted to form an alliance with the surrounding countries through this assistance, after all, who would be able to support more Allied countries at that timeWhoever has a higher status in the international arena will have a higher right to speak.
Eventually, relations between the Soviet Union and China entered a state of rupture in which the Soviet Union intended to outflank China through Korea and its surrounding allies, intending to contain China so that China could obey and conform to its own intentions.
It is precisely for this reason that Vietnam has gradually expanded. Because with the support of the Soviet Union, Vietnam's economic and military strength gradually became stronger, and it thought that it could defeat even the French and the Americans, and it could be said that it was invincible.
After the victory of the war of resistance with the United States, Vietnam should develop its economy well so that its people can live and work in peace and contentment, but,However, relying on the "support" of the Soviets, Vietnam began to plan a large-scale expansion to the outside worldAs a result, we will continue to harass and occupy islands in the South China Sea.
Vietnam is a standard white-eyed wolf that has forgotten our assistance to them, ungrateful and constantly intruding on our borders, occupying our territory and wounding our defenders.
And these are the reasons why our national leaders, after careful consideration, chose to fight back in self-defense against Vietnam.
At that time, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea had just ended, and China was in a period of economic development and recovery, and most of China's armed forces were engaged in economic recovery and development, which meant that there had not been a war for a long time.
Although we have no intention of throwing our troops into war again, we will never tolerate the claws of other countries' hegemony reaching into China's borders.
In December 1978, after the unanimous resolution of the First Military Commission, it was decided to fight against Vietnam, and since then the Sino-Vietnamese self-defense counterattack war has officially begun.
Admiral Xu Shiyou and General Yang Dezhi cooperated with Xu Shiyou's commander-in-chiefA total of nearly six armies were dispatched, commanded by Xu Shiyou, to fight on the moving line. Four armies and one division were dispatched, with Yang Dezhi as the commander-in-chief, to set out from Yunnan to fight in Vietnam.
At the same time, the troops of other military districts in the country have entered a first-class operational state and are ready to be on standby at any time.
During the war, we deployed a total of 29 infantry divisions from 9 corps. About 550,000 troops struck Vietnam on a front of more than 500 kilometers.
This self-defense counterattack was divided into three phases and lasted one month.
From February 17 to 26, our People's Liberation Army (PLA) advanced 20-50 kilometers on the eastern and western fronts, conquering a total of four cities, mainly attacking local troops, public security and militia.
From February 27 to March 5, China's eastern front troops captured Lang Son and Quang Yuan, and the western front troops captured Sapa, Fengtu, and Pulou, conquered five cities, and successfully completed the scheduled combat mission according to the plan.
From March 6 to March 16, the PLA comrades who fought at this time retreated, destroyed the military fortifications built by the Vietnamese army in the border areas, and recovered the economic materials donated to Vietnam by our Chinese and People's Provinces.
At this time, if our PLA continues to advance, I believe that it will not take Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, in a few days.
There are actually many reasons why the withdrawal was chosen at this time.
First, after all, we counterattacked Vietnam in order to give the Vietnamese army a little color, China is not so easy to bully, and China's inherent territory is not allowed to be violated by other countries.
Second, at that time, relations between the Soviet Union and Vietnam were good, and the Soviets were also eyeing our northeastern region and various important strategic points along the coast.
Third, as long as the goal of striking Vietnam is achieved, the nature of the attack will change if it is carried out in depth, and it will become an aggressive war, so we have chosen to stop at moderation and achieve a quick victory.
The Sino-Vietnamese self-defense counterattack lasted only a month before it ended due to the active retreat of the squadron.
During the operation, the Vietnamese army was defeated by the PLA army, but when our army retreated, the Vietnamese army repeatedly attacked our army.
In the more than nine years since the end of the self-defense and counterattack war, the Vietnamese army has carried out several attacks on Chinese residents, schools, and land on the Sino-Vietnamese border, and our army has also dispatched troops to carry out military strikes against the Vietnamese army more than 10 times.
So, since the end of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, which has lasted for nearly ten years, is it the degradation of the military strength of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, or is there a deeper harvest for China?
China's choice to withdraw its troops at the time of victory in the self-defense counterattack was intended to serve as a counterweight to Vietnam's inflated ambitions, regardless of who supported the VietnameseChina has never bowed to hegemonism, and those who offend China will be punished even if they are far away.
We ensured the integrity of the territory, and later attacked the Vietnamese army, which repeatedly invaded our territory, and we were only of use to the enemy"Fists speak".
So why did it take ten years?Actually, we didn't want to, but Vietnam really didn't know how high the sky was, and only five years later, Vietnam once again provoked on the border of China's Yunnan, this time with an army of 1.2 million!
Vietnam has only been defeated for five years, how can it be possible to have an extra 1.2 million elite soldiers, there must be deception in this, after the counterattack against Vietnam in the war of self-defense, Vietnam still has no long memory.
Therefore, Deng Gong did not give Vietnam a chance to continue its provocation, and decided to continue to use a part of the elite to conduct a two-mountain round war against Vietnam. Since then, this two-mountain wheel war has been fought for nearly a decade.
Of course, although it took a long time, the effect of this war was still very significant, and since then, Vietnam has to be frightened to retreat when it comes to our country's armed strength, and we dare not take offense!
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, we have experienced too many wars, and the whole country really needs to take a break, and everyone needs to recuperate.
At some point, most of our country's military strength needs to be invested in economic constructionThere is also a part of the troops that have been invested in our scientific research and military construction.
Therefore, we have no intention of fighting at all. Even though most of our PLA comrades at that time were pulled down from economic construction and joined the battle, and they had not participated in a major war for a long time, our Chinese People's Liberation Army was always an army that won battles for the people.
Through this war of self-defense and counterattack, we have dealt a blow to the arrogance of the enemy's hegemonism, dispelled the ambition of certain major powers to contain our country through Vietnam, and ensured the integrity and unity of our territory.
At the same time,We were also able to be busy with the country's economic construction after the war, so that the country became stronger and stronger, so that there would be future reform and opening up and economic recovery, and this is what our country gained in this war. We've never been troublemakers, but we've never been afraid of things.
Our country has always had its doors open, a wine treat for friendly friends, and a shotgun ready for hostile wolves.
After thousands of years of Chinese civilization, the Chinese nation is also rising, showing more and more amazing strength in the international arena.
Although in the long river of history, especially during the feudal dynasty there was a history of humiliation,But now China has stood up, and it is no longer the country that allows others to bully.
