War is brutal, and it not only takes countless lives, but also leaves deep wounds on those who fight. In war, it is inevitable that some people will be killed or wounded because of enemy attacks. However, some people fell because of the mistakes of their comrades-in-arms, how sad and helpless!
During the war, the reduction of the number of troops is not always due to the death of the enemy, there are many other reasons, such as illness, accidents, accidental injuries, etc. The reduction in personnel due to these reasons is called non-combat attrition, which, together with combat attrition, constitutes total attrition. Among the non-combat attrition, the most heart-wrenching is the situation of being accidentally injured by comrades. In 1979, during the self-defense and counter-attack war against Vietnam, many such tragedies occurred.
Some fighters fainted in the grass due to physical discomfort or overwork, and were not detected in time, and as a result, they were shot and killed by mistake for the enemy. Some fighters left their positions because of convenience and did not greet the sentry, and as a result, they were mistaken for the enemy ** and were wounded. Some soldiers went to seek medical attention because they were wounded, and did not greet their comrades who were on guard, only to be killed by throwing grenades while mistaking them for enemies. Some soldiers were nervous because they switched to the defense, and they opened fire without asking for a password, killing their own company commander.
These are true stories, and they reflect one side of the war, but also reveal some of the problems in the war. Why did such a miscarriage occur?The main reason is that the fighters lack the necessary psychological qualities, panic when encountering situations, act recklessly, do not abide by operational discipline and rules, do not communicate and report in a timely manner, and do not make correct judgments and deal with them. These are all important causes of accidental injury, and they are also areas that need to be paid attention to and improved.
War is cruel, but we can't give up because we're afraid, and we can't make mistakes because we're panicking. As a soldier, we must not only have strong military qualities, but also calm psychological qualities, so that we can protect ourselves, our comrades-in-arms, and the country in war. The accidental injury of a comrade-in-arms is an irreparable loss and an unforgettable pain, let us work together to avoid such a tragedy from happening again!
