At the end of the fifties of the last century, relations between our country and the USSR gradually deteriorated. In the war of self-defense and counterattack against India in the early sixties, the Soviet Union wantonly favored India in disregard of China's opposition. In March 1969, the former "big brother" of the Soviet Union picked quarrels and provoked trouble on Zhenbao Island, and our Shenyang Military Region had no choice but to counterattack in self-defense.
Immediately, the "Three Norths" direction became even more tense, and the Soviet steel torrent posed a serious threat to me. At the same time, the United States was deeply involved in the Vietnam War and became the world's superpower at that time, posing a great threat to China from both the North and the South.
In order to cope with the changes in the surrounding strategic environment, the Central Military Commission has launched a large-scale military expansion and strategic deployment to enrich the combat effectiveness of the Beijing and Wuhan Military Regions, while taking into account the strategic direction of the southwest. Against this background, the ** Military Commission ordered the Kunming, Lanzhou, and Fuzhou Military Regions to be responsible for the reconstruction of the 11th, 19th, and 29th armies, respectively.
The Kunming Military Region rebuilt the 11th Army and was stationed in Xiaguan, Yunnan. In November 1969, the Kunming Military Region established the 11th Army based on the 49th Division of the Kunming Military Region, and Dong Zhanlin, then deputy commander of the 54th Army, was in charge of the army. Xiaguan has a long history, located at the junction of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the Hengduan Mountains, and has long been the economic, cultural and political center of western Yunnan, and has become the geographical headquarters of the 11th Army.
The Lanzhou Military Region rebuilt the 19th Army, with its headquarters in Zhangye, Gansu. Zhangye is strategically located in the middle of the Hexi Corridor where the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Mongolian Plateau meet, and is an important town on the Silk Road and an important node city of the Lanzhou-Singapore Railway.
The Fuzhou Military Region rebuilt the 29th Army, and the military headquarters was stationed in Putian, Fujian. Putian is located in the middle of the coastal area of Fujian, with diverse topography and was historically an important place for coastal defense.
These three armies quickly went into training and preparing for war. Despite their youth, they rose rapidly, especially the 11th Army, which excelled in the war against Vietnam and cultivated a number of outstanding military talents.
These armies were subsequently restructured and eventually dismantled in 1985 and 1998. However, their spirit and fighting effectiveness remain in the annals of the army.
The above is an important measure taken by the Central Military Commission to rebuild the three armed forces under a special historical background, respond to external challenges, and ensure the best of the best.
This article reorganizes the information of the original text, presents the background and actions of the ** Military Commission in the deployment of troops, and emphasizes the importance and significance of rebuilding the three armed forces at a historical moment.
This article on the deployment of troops by the Central Military Commission at a special moment in history profoundly shows the important measures taken by the state under external pressure. The rebuilding of the 11th, 19th, and 29th armies embodies an urgent response to the external strategic environment, as well as determination and action to ensure the best of the best.
First of all, the article mentions that in the early sixties of the last century, relations between our country and the USSR deteriorated, and at the same time faced a great threat from both the north and the south. This change in the external environment has prompted the Central Military Commission to carry out a large-scale expansion of the armed forces and strategic adjustment. This demonstrates the high vigilance of the country's leadership for the strategic layout, as well as the rational perception of external threats.
Secondly, the article describes in detail the reconstruction of the 11th, 19th, and 29th armies and the geographical characteristics of their respective garrisons, highlighting the careful consideration of the deployment of troops. From Xiaguan and Zhangye to Putian, the geographical locations of these stations have their strategic significance and are in line with the strategic layout. This fully demonstrates the importance of taking into account geographical conditions and strategic points when deploying military formations.
In addition, the article highlights the growth and outstanding performance of these young armies in training and preparation, especially the outstanding performance of the 11th Army in the war against Vietnam, and cultivates a group of outstanding military talents. This shows that even young units can adapt quickly and show excellent combat effectiveness in emergency situations.
Finally, the article mentions the subsequent adjustment and dismantling of these armies, but at the same time emphasizes their historical value and the survival of their fighting spirit in the history of the army. This attitude of emphasizing the inheritance of history is conducive to inheriting and carrying forward the fine traditions of the armed forces and providing an important reference for future national defense construction.
Overall, this article fully demonstrates the decision-making and response capabilities of the CMC in a complex strategic environment, and highlights the growth and contribution of the military. It is not only an article describing military operations, but also a useful reflection on the country's strategic adjustment and the development of the armed forces.
