He presided over the North China exercise, which shocked China and foreign countries
Comrade ** resigned from the post of chairman of the ** Military Commission of the Communist Party of China and ***, and ** comrade took over. ** Comrades have given up their posts to young and capable comrades, and their choices have demonstrated thoughtfulness and firm determination for the future development of the Party and the country.
Comrade ** was an outstanding proletarian revolutionary, he went through many critical periods in the history of the Chinese revolution, especially in cooperation with Marshal ***, who spread the fame of Liu Deng's army throughout the country.
During the period of socialist construction, Comrade ** fought on the front line for a long time and made immortal contributions to the cause of socialism. At this time, when Comrade ** takes over the work of the Central Military Commission, he will undoubtedly make more remarkable achievements.
Sure enough, just a few months later, our army launched a huge military exercise in North China, and through this exercise, our people's army displayed the demeanor of a great power and a heavy weapon, and demonstrated our military strength to the whole world.
The unprecedented scale of the military exercise came to September 14, 1981, and after months of preparation, the North China military exercise kicked off in the spotlight. Present at the meeting were comrades of the Politburo and many former party and state leaders.
** When participating in this military exercise, comrades also wore military uniforms rarely. The total number of cadres from all over the country who came to visit and study, including the local masses, reached more than 30,000, and the scale can be said to be unprecedentedly huge.
Under the orders of Comrade Qin Jiwei, the commander of the exercise was Comrade Qin Jiwei, and the warplanes, tanks, and armored units participating in the exercise were divided into two sides.
At the beginning of the exercise, both sides set out from the established positions in accordance with their respective orders and carried out exercise operations. At this time, New China had not fought a major battle for many years, and such a torrent of steel could not help but remind people of the glorious days when they once shed blood on the battlefield.
Sometimes, when the exercise is very exciting, the first comrade will give a standing ovation from his seat to cheer for the comrades participating in the exercise. He was an old revolutionary from the war years, when Red Army units were often referred to as millet plus rifles.
It was under such arduous conditions that the Red Army won the victory of the 25,000-mile Long March and won the victory of the revolution.
In the 1981 North China exercise, the people's army had reached a modern scale and had all kinds of modern armies. The air power showed a formation of eight fighters and electronic jammers guiding the bomber group to the intended target, which brought great shock to the people.
The ground forces were also gaining momentum, and artillery of different models quickly launched fire strikes on the predetermined area. Tanks and clusters of armored vehicles then appeared, easily breaking through insurmountable obstacles and terrain and quickly reaching the frontal battlefield.
As of now, this is just the debut of ** equipment. The Airborne Forces landed safely, while the other side had not yet appeared. On the other hand, the exercise dealt with it calmly, and the two sides went back and forth, which was very exciting.
The exercise soon entered a white-hot phase. In the following days, the two sides conducted separate exercises in other subjects. The comrade only briefly returned to Beijing for foreign affairs activities, and the whole exercise was carried out.
At the end of the five-day exercise, 53 naval, land, and air force units participating in the exercise conducted a military parade, and after being inspected by the chiefs, the troops marched in separate formations, and the parade ceremony was successfully completed.
** Comrade made a speech after the parade, affirming the results of the military exercise. The North China exercise has achieved tremendous results, but it has also encountered many difficulties.
Why are we holding this exercise? What were the results of this exercise? How did we overcome the difficulties in the preparatory process? The various units participating in the military exercise summed up the military exercise, discussed and solved the problems encountered in the military exercise, and helped our people's army to check and fill in the gaps and build a people's army in the new era.
In 1975, Comrade ** put forward a proposal for the reorganization and modernization of the armed forces. The leadership at that time generally believed that although the global situation was relatively peaceful, there was still the possibility of local war.
However, the focus of the country is still on socialist construction, and it is difficult to allocate sufficient energy to army building, so Comrade **'s proposal has been temporarily shelved.
It was not until 1979 that the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam completely strengthened our country's determination. Prior to this, our country did not intend to resolve the Vietnamese issue by force. However, Vietnam's provocative actions have made our country unbearable.
So on February 17, the ** Military Commission issued an order for a counterattack operation. Surprisingly, just a month later, the war ended in a complete victory for our country.
What is even more surprising is that our country also destroyed the infrastructure that had previously provided assistance to northern Vietnam during its retreat, which dealt a great blow to Vietnam. This victory not only demonstrated our military strength, but also once again proved our country's determination to safeguard our national interests.
Although it achieved a remarkable victory in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, it is undeniable that the problems exposed by the people's army in this war, such as the lack of soldiers and generals with combat experience, problems in military skills, and the need to change the structure of the army, laid the groundwork for the later modernization of the army.
At the same time, the victory in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam did not stabilize the surrounding areas of our country, but aroused the concern and threats of the Soviet Union and Vietnam. This underscores the need for our country to demonstrate its attitude towards the international community.
In the year when the war of self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam broke out, a tragic incident occurred in the Bohai Bay of our country. A ship named "Bohai II" was carrying out an offshore drilling mission, and all 72 crew members were killed due to sudden strong winds.
After investigation, it was found that the accident was due to the lack of experience of China's maritime team, the lack of management concepts, and the existence of serious safety hazards on the ship, and the Japanese side of the first ship concealed these problems.
Although this incident seems to have nothing to do with the people's army, people with good intentions took the opportunity to point the finger at the military-civilian relations, which led to tensions between the military and the people. Such behavior is unacceptable, and it is necessary to improve the image of the people's army among the masses as soon as possible and re-establish the relationship between the army and the people.
Shortly after the Bohai-2 incident, Comrade ** stepped down, and Comrade ** once again stood at the crossroads of history. Prior to this, his vision for the people's army had finally begun to be realized, and reform and opening up had been carried out for many years, and remarkable results had been achieved, which provided the basic conditions for army building.
** Comrades quickly convened the first preparatory meeting, codenamed "801". At this meeting, he put forward a completely new concept - "active defense", which refreshed the comrades present.
He said: In the face of the ever-changing international situation, we should have a forward-looking vision. At the same time, he also encouraged the comrades, stressing that our people's army has always had a first-class tradition, and that it is confident that it can defeat superior equipment with inferior equipment, make use of its strong points and avoid its weaknesses, actively defend, and attack in the midst of defense.
Behind this is the idea of protracted warfare, which is our unique advantage. ** Comrades used the example of past wars to demonstrate the feasibility of this idea, and it was widely endorsed by the comrades.
Since then, all parties have begun to actively prepare. In the early stages of preparation, everyone was very cautious and even formulated three exercise plans: large, medium, and small. However, the larger exercise plan requires the investment of more material and financial resources, which makes the CMC hesitate.
In the end, at the suggestion of Comrade ***, it was decided to adopt the largest large-scale plan.
** The order of the comrades has been issued, and the military districts, on the basis of unity and cooperation, strive to show the best results on the principle of economy. It turns out that unity is strength.
Thanks to the joint efforts of all the officers and men participating in the exercise, the exercise has achieved remarkable results and pushed the building of China's modern army to a new height.
