The relationship between China and Vietnam can be summed up in history by "loving and killing each other". From the time Zhao Tuo established the State of South Vietnam, it was officially incorporated into the Central Plains Dynasty, and the five dynasties and ten kingdoms of the chaotic war gave it the opportunity to become independent, and the Song Dynasty advocated Yanwu Xiuwen, thus making it slowly independent and becoming a vassal state.
After years of accumulation, Vietnam has expanded its territory several times to have today's territory. Later, Vietnamese territory was colonized by the French and coveted by the Japanese, and after a long struggle, both sides withdrew their troops. And in the counterattack against the Vietnamese self-defense, who were the top generals killed in the battle between China and Vietnam?
(1) Crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, and betraying one's faith
Vietnam after the French withdrawal can be divided into two regimes, South Vietnam and North Vietnam, the former is the capitalist camp and the latter is the socialist regime. Originally going to stage a replica of the Civil War, the United States did not want to see another socialist country in Asia, so it paid for it to help South Vietnam win the war.
However, the combat effectiveness of the South Vietnamese army was very weak, and it was trampled by the North Vietnamese to the point of no end. The distraught Americans decided to take the field themselves, sending planes to bomb north Vietnamese territory. The CCP had deep ties with the Viet Cong, and Ho Chi Minh sent Le Son and Wu Yuanjia to China for help, and then President Liu Shaoqi immediately agreed to his request to send troops.
So hundreds of thousands of People's Liberation Army changed into North Vietnamese uniforms and marched to Vietnam to help them resist the American invaders. With the sincere cooperation between China and Vietnam, the United States was smoothly dragged into the quagmire of war, making it difficult for it to extricate itself.
At the moment when the United States and Vietnam reached a settlement, a rift appeared between China and Vietnam. China had helped North Vietnam fight for so many years, but it hadn't even told China about the signing of the armistice.
Not only that, after the world was settled, Li Sun began to show his face. He immediately sent troops to occupy the islands in the South China Sea that had been promised to return to China, and then set off a wave of anti-China in the country, criticizing Chinese businessmen, embezzling their assets and repatriating them back to China, while constantly causing disputes on the borders of China, Vietnam, Guangxi and Yunnan.
The most heinous thing is that Vietnam has disregarded China and brazenly sent troops to attack and occupy Cambodia. The reason why Vietnam dares to be so arrogant is because it has the support of the Soviet Union, which believes that it is the third power in the world and can fight with China.
At a time when reform and opening up are just laid out, China needs to be recognized by the Western camp and needs a war to wake up Vietnam. In early 1979, deng xiaoping had just returned from a visit to the United States and immediately issued an order to go to war with Vietnam, and the heroic PLA soldiers divided into three routes and marched to Vietnam with great momentum to engage the Viet Cong army.
Taking advantage of its numerical superiority, the Plakmen Army (PLA) took over most of the cities in north-central Vietnam in less than a month. If you go further south, you will soon take Hanoi and soon you will be able to occupy all of it.
This war, from beginning to end, took only 28 days, and it really taught Vietnam a lesson. Since then, it has never dared to call itself a so-called third power, nor has it dared to mention the establishment of the Federation of Indochina.
(2) Life and death, confusion
In this war, the Chinese army burned all the equipment that had previously supported Vietnam, leaving its northern industry to a long-term standstill. At the same time, Vietnam, which has a strong sense of revenge, launched a two-mountain round war, resulting in the death of a large number of its men. The high number of boys and girls, the decline in productivity, once became the norm in the country.
So, who was the supreme commander of Vietnam who was killed in the counterattack against Vietnam? How did he die?
In the eastern front of the Guangzhou Military Region, the task of the first stage was to take Gao Binh, the capital of Northern Yue Province, and then clear the obstacles to the south. Gao Binh is an important town in Vietnam, and it will naturally not be abandoned easily, so it will increase its troops here at all costs. The Guangzhou Military Region gathered an army of 100,000 and prepared to annihilate the 364th Division, as well as the public security forces and militia organizations that were entrenched here, by numerical superiority.
The Vietnamese army was in charge of the command of colonel Huang Binh Shan, who had made great achievements in the Vietnam War. This time, he decided to take advantage of the favorable time and place, and resisted with the mountains and complex terrain.
The newcomers to the People's Liberation Army were unfamiliar with every plant and tree here, nor had they experienced such jungle warfare, so in the first few days of the battle, the advance was unusually slow and the casualties were relatively heavy. In order to make a quick decision, the Guangzhou Military Region continuously transferred troops from various places here, successively investing 11 infantry divisions, and weaving a vast net for the Vietnamese army.
Even though Huang BianShan was familiar with the terrain and jungle warfare, it was still invincible in the end. The heroic People's Liberation Army soon eliminated two regiments of the Vietnamese army, including a regimental commander, a deputy regimental commander and a political commissar, and was killed on the spot.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Huang Bianshan decided to break it into pieces and disperse and hide the troops in the mountains and forests east of Gaoping and north, in an attempt to accumulate strength through guerrilla warfare first, and then achieve a large-scale counterattack.
Huang Bianshan himself traveled to the Nahuai area of Gaoping, which is mostly rugged and bumpy mountain roads, and is densely distributed
Karst Stone Mountain. It has to be said that Huang Bianshan himself still has a certain military quality, he ordered his subordinates to hide in various stone mountains, and then used the jungle as a camouflage to build fortifications in them, and then formed a dense network of covering firepower.
But even if the level of Huang bian Mountain is high,
He's just doing some beast fights,
After all, the general trend has gone, and to resist is nothing but a vain sacrifice. The 123rd Division of the Guangzhou Military Region took the initiative to ask for help and took over the task of destroying the command post of the Huangbianshan Division.
When the battle first began, our army was indeed a little difficult, but the PLA soldiers fought tenaciously, cleared the fire points under the Vietnamese army one by one, and took The 10th Highland in a few days, which was where the division headquarters of Huang Bian Shan was located.
However, when the People's Liberation Army arrived here, it found that there was no one in it, and apart from some topographic maps and deployment maps and several radio stations, huang bianshan was not seen. Judging from the situation at the scene, Huang Bianshan had just left, and he had left in a hurry and was not prepared for anything.
The People's Liberation Army decided that Huang Bianshan must be arrested, and those who captured others should be awarded second-class merit immediately.
Therefore, the 10 infantry divisions of the Guangzhou Military Region, while clearing and suppressing the Vietnamese army, focused on the search for Huang Bian Mountain. The search troops encircled the mountain streams and caves that the Vietnamese army might be hiding, and dispersed them. When encountering the militia, they dispersed the large troops and carried out tactical means of multi-way gathering to annihilate them.
As for those enemy troops hiding in the caves, they directly pulled out artillery and flamethrowers, supplemented by explosives, grenades and other auxiliary measures.
After more than half a month of encirclement and suppression activities, tens of thousands of Vietnamese troops were wiped out.
And Huang BianShan has not yet been found.
Later, the command deduced based on various intelligence that Huang Bianshan was most likely killed in the cave. Therefore, Hwang Binh Shan was once considered the highest general killed in Vietnam.
But the fact is that Huang Bianshan has been hiding in the cave for nearly half a month.
Many PLA search teams passed by.
After the war, Hwang Binh Shan ran out again, and later became the commander of the army in Tần Trần Province, Vietnam.
Because Hwang Binh Shan was not dead, the highest-ranking vietnamese general killed in the battle should be the commander of the Gopyeong garrison, and at the critical moment, he asked his family to come out of the cave and surrender, while he himself vowed to die and was finally killed.
(3) Revolutionary martyrs, immortal
In the counterattack against Vietnamese self-defense, although it ended in our victory, many problems were also exposed. At that time, the Soviet Union was constantly increasing its troops on the Sino-Soviet border, intending to reduce the pressure on Vietnam, and we could only make a quick decision. Based on these circumstances, the PLA also paid a certain amount of casualties. Then, who is the top general who sacrificed himself in the counterattack against Vietnam?
First of all, yes
Lin Fengyun, deputy political commissar of the 126th Division of the 42nd Army.
He had just finished surgery for appendicitis, heard that the battle was about to start, and returned to the army from the hospital ahead of schedule. On February 17, 1979, he and the deputy political commissar of the Tank Regiment of the 126th Division were hit by shells fired by vietnamese ambush teams while riding an armored vehicle to break through the Vietnamese encirclement and rush to Dong Khe and reach the vicinity of Song Shan.
The deputy political commissar immediately lost his breath and died heroically, while Lin Fengyun endured severe pain and walked to the command post, but he was shot again in the chest. At the last moment of his life, he still did not forget to destroy the confidential documents he carried with him, and when the Vietnamese army searched the body, only a punctured radio was found on him.
Second, yes
Deputy Division Commander of Unit 53214
Zhao Lianyu.
He was born in 1930 in a poor and lower-middle-class peasant family in Zhuanghe, Liaoning Province, and from the age of 11 he worked for the landlord's family to raise pigs. At the age of 14, he was caught working as a laborer in Dandong. When Dandong was liberated in 1945, he was less than 16 years old and resolutely joined the party.
Zhao Lianyu participated in the Battle of Andong and the Battle of Pingjin, and when Peiping was liberated, he was also inspected by Chairman Mao. Subsequently, he entered the Nanjing Senior Infantry School to receive regularized and systematic military studies. After the counterattack against the Vietnamese self-defense began, as the deputy division commander, he personally led a regiment of troops, interspersed with battles in the heavy encirclement of the enemy, and made outstanding achievements.
On March 2, Zhao Lianyu received orders to retreat back to China. He said to his subordinates:
"We cannot leave behind a wounded man, the body of a martyr. Not a single gun or a piece of combat equipment can be left behind."
In the process of retreating, Cho Lian Ngoc was ambushed by the Vietnamese army, and he himself was attacked by Vietnamese peasants
The black gun fired by Nguyen Thanh Hung hit and he lost his breath on the spot.
If zhao Lianyu and Lin Fengyun, two martyrs, had a soul in heaven, it would be very gratifying to see that the motherland they had sacrificed to defend had gradually risen. It is precisely because of these people who have the fearless spirit of "not regretting even though they died nine times" that we have a happy and peaceful environment today, revolutionary martyrs, immortal!
