Title: **'s "Appointment in the Line of Fire", the scheming behind Xu Shiyou is revealed, and a shocking story caused by a self-defense war against Vietnam!
In the long river of history, there is a story that has been buried deep in the years, which is about Su Yu and a veteran who has experienced vicissitudes - Xu Shiyou's legendary moment. This is a story that takes place in 1978, when China's hostilities with Vietnam became the backdrop for the war.
Burdened with the weight of the years, ** in the international situation at that time, faced a thorny problem: how to deal with Vietnam's frequent provocations and harassment?China has long been a peace-loving country, but Vietnam's actions have left the country's leader feeling intolerable. Facing the turmoil of mountains and rivers, **'s eyebrows reveal perseverance, he needs a person, a general who can move forward firmly in the war and teach Vietnam a lesson.
This person is not a *** who is over the age of old, nor is he Su Yu, who is full of military exploits, but Xu Shiyou, a 74-year-old veteran. This appointment is like a shocking thunderbolt, which makes many people wonder, why not choose *** or Su Yu, but let this veteran take command of the war against Vietnam?
The weight of history will eventually reveal the mystery. Xu Shiyou received the instructions of ***, 74 years old, but he looked more prosperous. At that time, he seemed to have found a youthful strength, a firmness from the depths of his heart. He did not hesitate and immediately formulated a battle plan, which was destined to write a strong mark on the land of Vietnam.
Since 1974, Vietnam has been harassing China from time to time, whether it is driving away Chinese, robbing fishing boats, or planting landmines. This fireweed has already ignited in the veteran's heart, and with his deep attachment to the motherland, he has no hesitation to meet this self-defense war against Vietnam.
However, the weaving of history is always unexpected. Xu Shiyou's plan was directly rejected when it was handed over. "It's just a lesson, not a capture", this is the attitude of **. China has always advocated peace, and its attitude toward Vietnam does not seem to be to solve the problem completely, but only to learn a lesson to make it more restrained. This was also a realistic consideration of the stalemate between China and the Soviet Union at that time. In complex international relations, there is a need to maintain a balance, and the Vietnam War requires caution.
Xu Shiyou, although the plan was rejected, did not complain. He understands the situation and knows that China cannot afford to pay too much for the moment. So, he led the troops handed over to him and set foot on the front line. This is a veteran, shouldering the responsibility of the motherland, stepping into the storm.
At that time, China was facing the test of a war. Xu Shiyou, wearing a battle robe, rode back on a tall horse, as if returning to the years of his youth. Behind him is a group of young warriors, a team of recruits, perhaps the choice at that time seemed strange, but in Xu Shiyou's heart, it was the most suitable. The combination of veterans and recruits not only takes into account the factors of the war situation, but also out of caution about the possible counterattack of the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union learns that China's military forces are weak, it may take the opportunity to stir up trouble on the border, which China cannot bear.
The troops led by Xu Shiyou launched a counterattack against Vietnam. It was a battle of national hatred and family hatred, and the Chinese soldiers, well-trained veterans and enthusiastic recruits, marched together to Lang Son, the fortress that held the capital of Vietnam.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing. ** and Su Yu's "disadvantage" became a constraint, and the physical disadvantage of the two generals made them temporarily lose their opportunity in this battle. ** is over eighty years old, his eyes are seriously damaged, and he has overcome obstacles in his life, but because of a battle that year, he became a "one-eyed general". When he was fighting in Fengxian, because he was accidentally shot through the eye by a bullet, the medical conditions were difficult, and he missed the best time, so he cut off 74 knives of carrion, and did not use anesthesia during the operation. This veteran, fearless of hardships and dangers, insisted on not dragging down the troops, and became a legend of a generation. But now, the eye has problems again, and the vision is blurred, which has become an obstacle for the "one-eyed general" to go into battle again.
And Su Yu, who had been injured many times in battle, was still carrying three shrapnel in his brain. This general, who has "resigned three times", has repeatedly hovered on the line of life and death. Until years later, the shrapnel in the brain was still there, and doctors did not dare to go under the knife easily. This is a veteran who has too many scars left on his body, but his heart is still in the direction of the motherland.
In 1978, Su Yu was 71 years old, and the sequelae of various early battles made his physical condition worse. And Xu Shiyou, despite his age, still has the momentum of "martial arts can be used to determine the world". At the time, he was the best choice.
** Meticulous considerations. Xu Shiyou had led the war in Guangzhou Province, where the climate was similar to that of Vietnam, allowing him to adapt. Among the generals at that time, Xu Shiyou was the closest to Vietnam, which was an advantage that could not be ignored. Despite his advanced age, he is still physically strong and maintains an extraordinary physique. In contrast, ** and Su Yu are indeed physically unwell, and their old bodies limit their performance on the battlefield.
Xu Shiyou's personality is also one of the factors considered. He has clashed with Chen Geng and others many times, and is a resolute and arrogant figure in the army. In the face of Vietnam's transgression, what is needed is not only a soldier who performs the task, but also a bloody and responsible general. For Vietnam's provocations, what is needed is a general who can act without hesitation and teach Vietnam a heavy lesson.
As a result, Xu Shiyou became the most suitable candidate in the eyes of ***. This veteran, leading the young warriors, walked to the gateway of Vietnam - Lang Son. This is not just a war, but a just war against the aggressor. He has a big temper, he only has national hatred in his eyes, and for Vietnam, he will give everything just to teach them a lesson.
Xu Shiyou arrived at the front line of the Vietnamese counterattack and, according to the plan, began to methodically arrange people to reconnoiter the gateway of the Vietnamese capital. He had long been aware of the situation in Vietnam, but he was always vigilant because he knew Vietnam's methods of "deception." However, the truth of the war is always unexpected, and Vietnam's counterattack has Xu Shiyou jaw-dropping. When the People's Liberation Army (PLA) was about to cross the Chi Poor River Bridge, Vietnam suddenly blew up the bridge, making it impossible for the PLA to cross the river directly. This unexpected move made the squadron fall into a moment of passivity.
However, the veteran Xu Shiyou was not discouraged by this. On the contrary, he was more deeply aware of the cunning of Vietnam. He adjusted his tactics and quickly organized his forces to find the best route around the river. In this process, Xu Shiyou showed extraordinary wisdom and command talent beyond his years. He knows very well that war is not only a contest of strength, but also a duel of wisdom.
As the squadron stabilized the battle, the Vietnamese army gradually collapsed. Xu Shiyou's tactical decisions proved wise and decisive, and his calmness and determination became the key to the entire battle situation. In the face of the predicament, he did not waver in the slightest, but appeared more calm. This veteran, with his unwavering faith and outstanding command ability, won China the victory in this self-defense war against Vietnam.
However, the war was not just a simple victory. There's a deeper meaning behind it. Xu Shiyou, a seventy-year-old veteran, at this moment, is not only the commander of the squadron, but also a hero who resolves international disputes and defends the peace of his family and country.
His tenacity shows the tenacious will of the Chinese. In this war, the Chinese people worked together to overcome the difficulties. This is not only a military victory, but also a demonstration of national cohesion. Xu Shiyou's figure has become a beautiful landscape in this history.
Let's go back to that moment, the veteran Xu Shiyou stood on the front line of the battlefield, fearless and unswerving. His figure is not only a soldier, but also a kind of faith, an indomitable force. In the hearts of the Chinese people, he became a respectable and lovely hero, a witness and leader of that era.
This history, like a heavy boulder, is engraved with the tenacity and wisdom of the Chinese people. Xu Shiyou, the identity of a veteran, has become a thick ink on this boulder. With his life's perseverance, he defended the dignity of the motherland and set a lofty example for future generations.
Time flies, time flies. Now, when we look back at this period of history, Xu Shiyou's figure is still eloquent. He is not only a hero of that era, but also a great figure forever engraved in the annals of the Chinese nation. At this special historical juncture, let us trace that period of soul-stirring years with respect and gratitude.
