It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, but in a specific operation, between the commander-in-chief in the rear and the commander at the frontThere are often times when there is a disagreement. For example, during the self-defense counterattack on Zhenbao Island, General ** once gave an ** order to Major General Xiao Quanfu, but Xiao Quanfu in front of the battle refused to give the Soviet army **, which angered ***"Don't you even listen to my orders?"What the hell is going on?
Zhenbao Island is located at the junction of China and the Soviet Union, and the overall location is in China, with an area of less than one square kilometer. Overlooking the Treasure Island from the sky, it resembles a gold ingot, hence the name"Treasure Island".。The ownership of the island is not disputed, it has always belonged to ChinaEven the Soviet Union made it clear in 1964 that Zhenbao Island belonged to China.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and not long after this incident, the Soviet Union's attitude took a 180-degree turn, reversing its recent promise and propagating the unreasonable tone that "Zhenbao Island belongs to the Soviet Union." The territorial issue is sacrosanct, and it is naturally impossible for our army to make concessions in the face of China's warningsThe Soviet Union not only did not realize its mistake, but on the contrary, it intensified its efforts and constantly created friction on Zhenbao Island.
In 1969, the Soviet Union invaded Zhenbao Island, and the situation continued to escalate, even at the expense of millions of soldiers, and also hyped that it would use the nuclear ** in its hands to attack China"Surgical".nuclear strike, the first time to eliminate China's ability to nuclear counterattack. Such an attitude can be described as extremely arrogant, because at that time, China also possessed nuclear **, but it was still under such a high-profile "nuclear threat".
The Chinese people love peace, but they will never be afraid of aggression. **The attitude at the time was,If you must fight a nuclear war, then accompany you to fight a nuclear war, although the atomic bomb is powerful, but the contemptible people are not afraid。** He also said that the Communist Party developed by fighting guerrilla warfare in the past, and it is completely possible to go into the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare again in the future.
Moreover, if the Soviet Union really dared to fight a large-scale nuclear war, ** was not afraid, if the situation really developed to that point, he would bring the Chinese people into the territory of the USSR to live, would the USSR still put nuclear bombs on its own territory?It's not the first time we've encountered such a nuclear threatTruman and MacArthur were the same at the time, and it turned out that they were just paper tigers.
Therefore, the Soviet Union deployed millions of troops on the Sino-Soviet border and set up a special Central Asian Military Region to put tremendous pressure on China's border militarily. Our army did not show weakness, and actively dispatched troops to confront the Soviet army, and waited for the battle. The Soviet Union and the United States were the two superpowers in the world at that time, and New China had already won the battle against the United StatesThis time, in the face of the deterrence of the Soviet Union, they still dare to fight!
In late January 1969, the Shenyang Military Region had officially received the instructions to prepare for war issued by the ** Military Commission, and the entire northeast was shrouded in the clouds of war. In fact, at that time, not only the Northeast, but also China, and even the whole world were paying attention to Zhenbao Island, after all, the Soviet Union invaded a nuclear-armed country this time, and a nuclear war could break out at any time.
Although the conflict was started by the Soviet Union,However, China, which has always been peace-loving, has not given up its efforts to seek peace, and has taken the initiative to reduce patrols on Zhenbao Island to avoid further conflicts。However, such a good deed did not bring peace, but made the Soviet army think that our army was a sign of weakness, and its attitude became more and more arrogantA self-defense counterattack was forced.
On the night of March 2, in view of the development of the war situation at that time,Our army sent a reconnaissance detachment of more than 30 people to Zhenbao Island, under the cover of the night, against the severe cold of more than minus 30 degrees, quietly arranged a thunder pit on Zhenbao Island. When everything was ready, everyone stayed on the island, quietly waiting for the dawn in the bitter cold, ready to engage the invading enemy.
At about 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day, several armored vehicles sent by the Soviet army to the island, as well as more than 70 officers and soldiers, encountered our patrol. When the Soviets discovered our troops, they immediately put on a battle formation, and our troops did not show weakness and fought back after the opponent opened fire. One soldier after another was shot and fell to the ground, but it did not break the confidence of our army, but became more and more courageous, because they knew in their heartsThis battle cannot be lost.
In the end, our troops achieved the result of 14 wounded and 31 Soviet killed. In the ears of Major General Xiao Quanfu, he was very excited, and at the same time began to actively deploy the next combat plan, Xiao Quanfu believed that the Soviet army had suffered a big loss this time, and it would certainly not give upPrepare in advance and be prepared.
As General Xiao Quanfu expected, when the news of the Soviet defeat came back, it immediately angered the top brass, and in the following days, dozens of tanks, hundreds of artillery pieces, and 150 armored vehicles were sent one after another. The frequency of such invasions and the number of invasion troops have been greatly increased compared with beforeTuda's attitude of reporting and replying is obvious.
As the situation became tense, our army quickly transferred the strength of two divisions in case the enemy suddenly launched a large-scale invasion. At this moment, three tanks of the Soviet army appeared in Jiangxiazi, watching from a distance the defense area set up by our army here.
This kind of behavior is obviously a naked provocation, after receiving the report, General ***, who was far away in Beijing, could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and directly beat ** to Xiao Quanfu, and gave him an order to immediately attack to meet the battle, and be sure to annihilate all the enemy troops who came to provoke.
Think about it, the founding generals of New China have all come all the way from the war, and will they be able to endure such a provocative enemy?But what he didn't expect was that he, the founding general, issued an order to Major General Xiao Quanfu, but Xiao Quanfu did not immediately implement it, but insisted on not reporting to the Soviet armyprovoked *** even more angry: "Don't you even listen to my orders?".”
If this sentence is placed in ordinary times, it is naturally nothing, but this sentence is already very heavy when it comes from the mouth of a general. But General Xiao Quanfu still refused to give in when he heard this, and almost refused to give in to the Soviet tanks, which made the well-informed *** a little puzzled, and after the language slowed downXiao Quanfu began to speak his mind.
Xiao Quanfu believed that he was at the forefront of the Sino-Soviet conflict and knew the enemy's intentions best. Moreover, he had the power to act cheaply at this time, so he refused to ask the Soviet army **. The reason why he insisted so much was because he had a guess in his heart that the purpose of the enemy tank's provocation this time was not to make a splash, but probably with some ulterior motives.
In this regard, Xiao Quanfu thought about it for a long time, and finally thought that the purpose of the enemy's visit this time was probably to use tanks to provoke our army and induce our army, so as to probe the configuration of our army's firepower. At that time, our army arranged many artillery pieces on the front line, and the position was very hidden, which was feared by the Soviet armyXiao Quanfu guessed that the enemy's move was fire reconnaissance, which was accepted.
Subsequently, General Xiao Quanfu ordered the troops to stay still, and found another reinforced infantry company, asked them to bring mortars in their hands, and went to different directions to fire a few shots at the Soviet tanks. For one, the mortar was powerful enough to push back these tanks;Second, to confuse the enemy in this way, so that the enemy cannot figure out the firepower configuration of our army.
In this way, the enemy fled in confusion under mortar fire and failed to detect any useful information. After that, when the Soviet army invaded again, our army was no longer polite and counterattacked with all its mightIn the end, a victory.
So, after the end of this battle, what was your attitude towards Xiao Quanfu later?If it was placed in the Kuomintang army, even if this battle was won, I am afraid that it would be punished in the future. But ***MindBut it was far from being comparable to a Kuomintang officer, and when he talked to Xiao Quanfu about it afterwardsalso smiled and praised Xiao Quanfu for doing the right thing, if he had listened to his orders, this battle might not have been won!
