Overview of the 1986 self-defense counterattack against Vietnam

The war took place in 1986, when China's domestic situation and international environment were at an important turning point.

1. Background of the war.

In the early 80s of the 20th century, with the changes in the international situation, Vietnam, with the support of the Soviet Union, continued to provoke armed conflicts on the border, which seriously threatened China. In order to defend the border and border stability, China decided to launch a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam.

Second, the course of the war.

The 1986 self-defense counterattack against Vietnam was mainly divided into two phases. The first stage, from the beginning of the year to the middle of the year, carried out a number of small-scale military operations in the border areas, aimed at countering armed provocations in Vietnam and defending border security. The second stage was in the second half of the year, when the squadron launched a large-scale offensive operation, penetrating deep into northern Vietnam, destroying military facilities and industrial bases in northern Vietnam, forcing Vietnam to re-examine its China policy.

In this war, the squadron showed tenacious fighting spirit and excellent combat capabilities, and successfully defended the stability of the border and the border. At the same time, the war also increased China's status and influence in the international community.

III. The outcome of the war.

The 1986 war of self-defense against Vietnam ended in a Chinese victory. Through this war, China has successfully countered Vietnam's military provocations and defended border security, while also demonstrating to the international community China's firm determination to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The war also had a far-reaching impact on the development of Sino-Vietnamese relations and laid the foundation for the normalization of relations between the two countries.

The 1986 self-defense and counterattack war against Vietnam had a profound impact on the development of Sino-Vietnamese relations.

V. Lessons of War.

In the 1986 self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, although the squadron won the victory, it also exposed some problems and shortcomings. First of all, in the early days of the war, due to the lack of intelligence work, the squadron did not have a sufficient understanding of the movements and deployment of the Vietnamese army, which led to some unnecessary losses. Second, in war, the ability of some units to coordinate operations is not strong, which affects the display of their overall combat effectiveness. In addition, after the end of the war, there were also some omissions and deficiencies in the clean-up and aftermath of the battlefield.

6. Summary and evaluation.
