As we all know, in 1979, our army carried out a self-defense counterattack against the Vietnamese army, and quickly won the war, which dealt a heavy blow to Vietnam, and at the same time, it also set their economy back for 20 years, and then Vietnam began to attack Cambodia in order to restore the economy, and also did mischief on our border, and then made unreasonable demands to our country, wanting our border to move 100 kilometers inward. Yang Dezhi was furious when he learned of this, and directly ordered the whole army to fight.
Before Vietnam and our country turned their faces, the relationship between the two countries has been very good, during the war between Vietnam and France and the United States, our country has given great help, not to mention the money and efforts, but also sent generals to assist, it can be said that Vietnam won in these two wars, our army made great meritorious achievements, until later Vietnam gained an inch, constantly provoked our country, and eventually led to the outbreak of war between the two countries, Vietnam was hit hard.
In the early eighties, they successively occupied Yinshan and other places, and also created border conflicts, which led to a great threat to China's border residents, and at the same time, Vietnam also put forward unreasonable demands that our country move 100 kilometers from the border to the country. This kind of unreasonable demand is really infuriating, and Yang Dezhi feels that he can't bear it anymore, since Vietnam still wants to continue fighting, then continue to fight.
Yang Dezhi was a very outstanding general, who had made countless feats on the battlefield and had excellent command ability. In the face of Vietnam's provocation, Yang Dezhi decided to continue to counterattack Vietnam, but this time it was different from before, to adopt a new strategy, no longer with the enemy in close combat, but to use artillery to carry out long-range attacks, the target is to directly hit Vietnam's economic facilities, you know, as early as 1979, General Xu Shiyou had ordered to destroy Vietnam's infrastructure, recapture China's aid to Vietnam in the past, directly led to Vietnam's economic regression for 20 years, and now the shelling has once again caused devastating damage to Vietnam.
At this time, Vietnam's economy has been on the verge of collapse, there is a great contradiction inside, which has also caused great pressure on Le Duan, if the economic problems are not recovered and alleviated, Le Duan may be facing soon, just at this time the Iran-Iraq war broke out, Vietnam resold the American equipment it had obtained in the past to Iran, and made a lot of money from it.
However, Vietnam has never been an honest country, after receiving a lesson, it is still restless, always trying to invade our country, trying to occupy our territory and resources, in the face of this shameless act, our country will naturally not tolerate, in 1983 our army launched a counterattack against Vietnam again, this war not only made Vietnam lose a lot, but also led to serious war weariness in the army, years of war not only did not change the lives of the Vietnamese people, but made their lives more and more poor, family life is getting worse and worse, Joining the army by yourself will not get any benefits, but may become cannon fodder at any time, and more and more soldiers are unwilling to cooperate with the battle.
As the situation in Vietnam became more and more miserable, the Le Duan clique took the opportunity to start making small moves again, and he made several speeches to spread his tragic situation to the outside world, trying to gain sympathy and support from other countries, especially the United States, but the United States did not pay attention to them at the time. The Le Duan clique's series of actions have aroused international outrage, and even India is denouncing Vietnam, but the Le Duan clique still disguises itself as a victim and puts all the blame on our country, which is really disgusting.
The war between China and Vietnam lasted for many years, and although on the whole our army won the victory, our army also sacrificed many soldiers in the course of the war, but fortunately, our country also achieved the goal of safeguarding national and territorial security and integrity, and it is unknown when Vietnam will return to the pre-war level.
