After the founding of New China, the Chinese People's Liberation Army successively participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Sino-Indian border self-defense counterattack, and the Sino-Vietnamese border self-defense counterattack. The victories in these wars have not only safeguarded the security and territorial integrity of the motherland, but also safeguarded the dignity and interests of the country and enhanced China's status and influence in the international community.
1. The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was the first large-scale war in which the People's Republic of China participated. On June 25, 1950, the Korean War broke out. The United States brazenly sent troops to intervene in the Korean civil war and crossed the 38th parallel to launch an attack on North Korea. China** and people resolutely support the just struggle of the Korean people and have decided to send troops to aid the DPRK. In October 1950, the Chinese People's Volunteers crossed the Yalu River and entered the Korean War.
After the volunteers entered the DPRK, they fought side by side with the Korean People's Army, fought bloody battles, and won brilliant victories. In the two-year war, the volunteers destroyed more than 1.09 million enemies, including more than 360,000 American troops. The victory of the Chinese People's Volunteers not only smashed the US attempt to invade Korea, but also defended the security and territorial integrity of New China.
2. The Sino-Indian border self-defense counterattack
The Sino-Indian border self-defense counterattack was the second large-scale war in which the People's Republic of China participated. On October 20, 1962, the Indian army crossed the traditional customary line between China and India and launched simultaneous attacks on the squadron in the eastern and western sectors of the Sino-Indian border. China** and the people could not bear it anymore and were forced to fight back in self-defense.
In the Sino-Indian border self-defense counterattack, the Chinese People's Liberation Army won a comprehensive victory in just one month. The PLA destroyed more than 3,800 enemies and captured more than 3,900 prisoners. The victory in the Sino-Indian border self-defense counterattack not only defended the security and territorial integrity of the motherland, but also dealt a heavy blow to India's expansionist ambitions.
3. Self-defense and counterattack on the Sino-Vietnamese border
The Sino-Vietnamese border self-defense counterattack was the third large-scale war in which the People's Republic of China participated. On February 17, 1979, Vietnamese troops crossed the Sino-Vietnamese border and launched a large-scale armed invasion of China's Guangxi and Yunnan provinces. China** and the people could not bear it anymore and were forced to fight back in self-defense.
In the Sino-Vietnamese border self-defense counterattack, the Chinese People's Liberation Army won a complete victory in just one month. The PLA annihilated more than 60,000 enemies and captured more than 20,000 prisoners. The victory in the Sino-Vietnamese border self-defense counterattack not only defended the security and territorial integrity of the motherland, but also dealt a heavy blow to Vietnam's expansionist ambitions.
4. Gulf War (with the participation of medical teams).
The Gulf War was the fourth large-scale war in which the People's Republic of China participated. On 2 August 1990, Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait. The UN Security Council adopted a resolution authorizing member states to use force against Iraq. China** and its people resolutely support the resolution of the United Nations Security Council and decide to send a medical team to participate in the Gulf War.
The Chinese medical team arrived in the Gulf region in March 1991 to carry out medical missions in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. The Chinese medical team treated more than 11,000 wounded and sick people, including more than 1,000 Iraqi wounded. The outstanding performance of the Chinese medical team has won wide acclaim from the international community.
After the founding of New China, the four large-scale wars in which the Chinese People's Liberation Army participated were all just wars. The victories in these wars have not only safeguarded the security and territorial integrity of the motherland, but also safeguarded the dignity and interests of the country and enhanced China's status and influence in the international community. The Chinese People's Liberation Army is worthy of being a strong force for safeguarding world peace.
