Vietnam's self-confidence in the face of war: a review of the self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam In 1979, China launched a self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam, which was officially called the Punishment War against Vietnam, but was called the self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam by the Chinese people.
This war was provoked by Vietnam first, and then our country counterattacked. In the international situation at that time, what kind of self-confidence did Vietnam show the day before the war?Vietnam was confident the day before the war.
Vietnam at that time claimed to be the third military power in the world, and they had just won the victory over the United States, which made them quite inflated. In addition, the Soviet Union at that time was also supporting Vietnam's invasion and occupation of our country, so Vietnam was optimistic about this war.
In the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, our army systematically destroyed industrial facilities in northern Vietnam and relocated the materials that had been provided to Vietnam. After the Vietnam War, they began to excitedly promote their victory
Claiming that he resisted the "aggression" of the PLA. However, the entire industrial base of northern Vietnam was razed to the ground, and the subsequent battle of the two mountains allowed Vietnam to mobilize the strength of the whole country to maintain the confrontation with our country
Thus wasting decades of development time. At present, Vietnam has no heavy industry capacity at all, and its economic development mainly depends on some light industry, financial and infrastructure industries. Vietnam overestimated its own strength
Missed development opportunities. For Vietnam, the war left a profound legacy. Today, despite its economic achievements, Vietnam's lack of heavy industry still exists. This question deserves our in-depth consideration.
