In 1979, Deputy Division Commander Zhao Lianyu was ordered to lead the army to evacuate Vietnam, but when he climbed a high ground to check the route, he was hit in the neck by a bullet when he raised the binoculars, and died heroically in a pool of blood. Our army immediately launched an investigation, hoping to find out this daring sniper and give Deputy Division Commander Zhao Lianyu an explanation. Many people speculate that this mysterious sniper must have been professionally trained, otherwise it would be impossible to hit Zhao Lianyu so accurately.
However, the results of the investigation were shocking, and the person who was hiding in the shadows to shoot was not an enemy country**, nor was he professionally trained, but an ordinary Vietnamese citizen. This raises more questions, how do the common people identify our generals and participate in the war? In fact, everything was related to the policy of Vietnam at that time, and Vietnam** called for all people to be soldiers and encourage ordinary people to participate in the defense of the country.
Despite the innocence of ordinary people, Vietnam turned a blind eye to China's help and provoked along with the Soviet Union on our southwestern border, which led to this tragedy. Vietnam** has encouraged ordinary people to join the army, re-recruited veterans, and realized that all people are soldiers. With the intervention of the Soviet Union and other countries, the United States eventually withdrew its troops from Vietnam. However, Vietnam mistakenly believed that it was its own strength that forced the United States to withdraw its troops, so its ambitions swelled, and the north and south were in chaos.
With the support of the Soviet Union, Vietnam got carried away and provoked frequently, and our country had to respond decisively. Under the leadership of the country, our country launched a self-defense counterattack in the Vietnam campaign to deal with Vietnam's increasingly arrogant posture and protect the lives of the people on the border. Our People's Liberation Army (PLA) was well-trained and well-armed, and it had won successive victories on the Vietnamese border, forcing Vietnam to turn to the Soviet Union for support and large-scale conscription.
Despite the surge in the number of troops in Vietnam, the lack of rigorously trained recruits posed a certain obstacle to our army. Despite the fact that Vietnam was far inferior to China in terms of area, due to various factors, the campaign lasted almost a month. In this battle, the deputy division commander Zhao Lianyu performed well, he led the troops to the battlefield and started the battle of Gaoping. On their way to Dong Stream, they were challenged by a strong defensive wall built by the Vietnamese military.
Zhao Lianyu decided to use large artillery to destroy the wall and successfully dispersed the Vietnamese soldiers hiding in the rear. Subsequently, he commanded his troops to flank the Vietnamese army from the north and south and encircle it. However, it is regrettable that on the way to withdraw the troops, Zhao Lianyu's outstanding achievements ended in tragedy. On September 8, 1979, he was killed by enemy troops on his way home with his troops. Before that, he had fought his way through the ranks and smashed many ambushes in Vietnam. On the battlefield, the unexpected is always happening.
When Zhao Lianyu was standing on the high ground and was about to use the telescope, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the grass, and in an instant, he fell in a pool of blood and said goodbye to the world forever. Anger drove our army to search for clues day and night, determined to arrest him. However, what is surprising is that after layers of screening, the real culprit is actually an ordinary person named Ruan Chengxiong. Despite the fierce and unusual intensity of the Sino-Vietnamese war, our army has never harmed the local people, why did Nguyen Thanh Hung make such a move?
According to Nguyen Thanh Hung, he served in the army and has now been discharged from the army for many years. He ambushed the bushes because the Vietnamese encouraged and supported them in attacking the Chinese. Nguyen Thanh Hung was a former sniper, and when he saw Zhao Lian Ngoc standing in front of the team and took out a telescope, he concluded that he was an officer. So, Ruan Chengxiong did not hesitate to shoot Zhao Lianyu in the neck. This tragedy is absurd. Zhao Lianyu should have received endless glory, and his family was eagerly looking forward to it, but he was attacked by the Vietnamese people and died in a foreign land.
Only through war can we know the value of peace. Only after experiencing war can we know that after the gunshot, there is no real winner. May we, who live in a peaceful and prosperous world, always remember the martyrs who, like Zhao Lianyu, died bravely in the battle to defend the country. Today's peace and prosperity are not the trend of the world, but the precious years that these warriors and heroes have bought with their lives.
