In the six wars of New China, who is in charge
China's modern history has been a challenging and arduous one. Beginning in 1840, the European powers broke the Qing Dynasty's isolation with their military strength, allowing us to see their own backwardness.
We who used to be self-righteous were surprised to find that Europe far surpassed us in the fields of economy, science and technology. Under the threat of several cannons, the Qing Dynasty had to retreat to the last line of defense.
After several generations of hard work, countless people with lofty ideals have fought bravely to bring about today's peaceful and prosperous world. In the middle of the last century, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, although we have launched six wars against foreign countries, this is not because we love war, but because we have no choice but to fight back.
1: To Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, also known as the Korean War, in October 1950, led by Marshal ***, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army entered the Korean War. In the end, the U.S. military, armed to the teeth, was beaten back to the 38th parallel with great strength, shattering the myth of the invincibility of the U.S. military.
The war, which lasted two years and nine months, ended in July 1953.
1.In 1950, China fulfilled its internationalist obligations and sent a military advisory group to assist the Vietnamese people in resisting French colonial aggression. Under the leadership of General Wei Guoqing, China fought side by side with Vietnam until the victory of the War to Resist France and Aid Vietnam in 1956.
The Sino-Indian border self-defense counterattack, also known as the Battle of Walong, took place in October 1962. At that time, India continued to encroach on China's border territory, encroaching on China's territory covering thousands of square kilometers and frequently provoking border disputes.
In order to safeguard the territorial integrity and dignity of the country, our country has launched a war of self-defense and counterattack. The war was commanded by Marshal ***, and Lieutenant General Zhang Guohua served as the commander-in-chief of the front.
After 31 days of fierce fighting, our army fought valiantly and finally won the victory. In this war, our army totaled more than 1,400 people, but not a single one was captured.
This war proved the heroism and tenacity of the Chinese people, and also demonstrated the strength and determination of our team.
In 1964, the United States used the "Beibu Gulf Incident" as an excuse to provoke China, and at the same time invaded China's Hainan Island region, Yunnan and Guangxi, and China began to aid Vietnam.
During the eight-year war, China successively dispatched a military advisory group headed by Chen Geng and Wei Guoqing and a political advisory group headed by Luo Guibo to provide comprehensive and selfless assistance to Vietnam.
Although the method is different from that of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, China's action to aid Vietnam to resist US aggression also shows the heroism and determination of the Chinese people.
Five: The war of self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam, this war is the most unforgettable battle in the hearts of the Chinese, the former "comrades and brothers" have become "unfed wolves", in February 1979, Vietnam wantonly swelled, provoked the Chinese border, China was forced to carry out self-defense counterattack.
