In 1979, the self-defense counterattack on the border with Vietnam!
With the end of the War of Resistance Against the United States in Vietnam and the reunification of the country, this ambitious country regards our country as the "number one enemy", and its constant attacks on our borders have greatly damaged the stable and peaceful environment of our borders and threatened the safety of our people's lives and property. Therefore, since February 17, 1979, China's border troops and the Guangxi People's Liberation Army have launched a self-defense counterattack against the Vietnamese army
Our opponent at that time, Vietnam's armed forces, consisted of the main forces of the Vietnamese army, local forces, and the people's army. Among them, the Vietnamese People's Army is organized by battalions, with a battalion of 10 companies (now the Vietnamese Army is a three-three system), a battalion of about 3-400 people, including a company as a unit of youth stormtroopers, although the equipment is slightly inferior, but due to the complex terrain in Vietnam, they have advantages in terrain collision and concealment, so it has caused great losses to our army.
However, in the first three days of the counterattack against Vietnam, our army averaged more than 2,000 people a day, and such a serious situation was unacceptable to us. And the reason for such a high ** is that the Vietnamese "all the people are soldiers", from the elderly to young children and women, all participate in the battle, so that our army is unable to defend against it;In particular, when fighting against the Vietnamese Le Duan clique, our army did not make preparations for the Vietnamese "people";After all, in the eyes of our army, war is the business of soldiers, and soldiers defend their homes and defend the country, protect the people, and bring peaceMoreover, our army has iron-clad discipline and always takes measures that do no harm to women and children.
Many women in Vietnam had received perfect militarized training during the anti-US campaign to save the country, and were good at camouflage and sneak attacks. They seized the opportunity to take advantage of our army's march and launched a sneak attack on our army, such as standing on the side of the road with a water jar full of explosives, taking advantage of people's unpreparedness to shoot black guns, and so on.
Not only women, but also children and children, which are the most difficult to guard against;After all, children represent a better tomorrow in the future, just after walking down from the battlefield of blood and fire, seeing naughty children playing with each other, no one will be defensive against them, and at that time, the Vietnamese seized on our psychology and specially trained children to fight. According to the memories of veterans, many soldiers have suffered losses in this regard, resulting in serious losses in our army.
Due to Vietnam's small population and strong mobilization capacity, the military education for the whole people during the War to Resist US Aggression and National Salvation was also very successful, resulting in almost all ordinary people using guns;The self-defense of the Xi was originally intended to resist the aggression, but after reunification, it became a means of invading others, and it can only be said that their ambitions far exceeded their strength, forgetting the harm caused by the war to the people.
In the face of such a big **, how did our army do it?At that time, after learning about the enemy's situation, General Xu Shiyou immediately adopted a simple and effective way to deal with it. He demanded that our army adopt the tactics of a three-three system when attacking, that is, every three people should be a battle group and three groups should be a battle group, so that we could better control the battlefield and avoid a surprise attack by the Vietnamese army. At the same time, the strategy of "attacking in the opposite direction" was used to beat the Vietnamese troops back to Lang Son in a very short time.
Lang Son is 18 kilometers away from the Vietnamese border, is the gateway to Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, Lang Son is a steep terrain in the north, mountainous in the north, plains in the south, only 130 kilometers away from Hanoi through Lang Son, it can be said that taking Lang Son can directly enter the capital of Vietnam, but also force Vietnam to surrender, and Lang Son is the main place where this battle took place.
This is the place of the decisive battle, and both sides have invested a lot of troops in it, and our artillery fire is only 500 meters away from the Vietnamese position!With the general attack launched by our army after clearing the enemy bases one by one, the enemy army actually used the chemical ** banned by the international order, and the troops led by General Xu Shiyou at that time were the ace army of our troops, the elite of the elite, because they were not prepared to face the chemical **, most of our soldiers were collectively poisoned and even died.
Originally, it was inhumane enough for the Vietnamese army to throw innocent women and children into the battlefield, and they dared to use chemical **!Since the enemy is mad and inhumane, then we will leave no room for it!
General Xu Shiyou directly ordered the artillery fire to cover!Not a single fish that slipped through the net will be left!
Within 30 minutes, tens of thousands of shells turned the position in front of Lang Son into a sea of fire like a punishment from heaven.
The five-star red flag is rising on the new ** building in Lang Son.
Then, in order to smash the conspiracy of Vietnam, completely subdue them, and give them a strong deterrent, our army forcibly crossed the Poor Chi River;Occupy the old city of Lang Son and break the courage of the Vietnamese army.
We have no intention of aggression, but we have the ability to punish and eliminate evil!After achieving the goal of deterring the Vietnamese authorities, our army spoke to the whole world and punished the purpose to achieve it, withdraw the troops!
Since then, from February 17 to March 16, 1979, it took a month to end the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam70,000 people, more than 6,000 people sacrificed. 60,000 Vietnamese troops and 50,000 militias, a total of 110,000 people.
The victory in the counterattack against Vietnam not only maintained the stability of our borders, but also showed the determination of the whole world to defend the integrity of our territoryAt the same time, it avoided the possibility of a Soviet-Vietnamese attack and protected the political stability of China's borders.
