It is said that in 1979, more than 200,000 people's sons and soldiers rushed to the southern border of the motherland to carry out self-defense counterattack operations against Vietnam.
Since the outbreak of the war on February 17, our army has been so strong that in a short period of time, the Vietnamese monkeys, known as the "world's third military power", have been defeated miserably, and in one month, more than 20 important towns in northern Vietnam have been taken. Under the pressure of international public opinion, our army declared victory in the war and withdrew from all of Vietnam within a month.
The People's Liberation Army is known as the "Master of Civilization" and has always upheld iron discipline.
In a film and television work, there was such a documentary plot: the children and soldiers fought in Vietnam, because the conditions were too harsh, the soldiers were hungry and thirsty, and the deputy company commander was distressed about the soldiers, so he privately took several soldiers to the outside of the position to cut sugar cane to quench their thirst. As a result, it was because of this "small matter" that the deputy company commander was punished for violating discipline. Through this plot, it can be reflected from the side that our army is strictly disciplined.
There is also a story that our army chased a Vietnamese scout on the mountain, and when the soldiers were chased to the middle of the mountainside, a middle-aged woman (Vietnamese) suddenly appeared, holding a pistol (imitation Type 54 pistol) in her hand, and saw the soldiers shooting directly.
The middle-aged woman had obviously not played with the gun much, the bullets were all shot, and the warriors took the opportunity to control it, and just then, the cries of children came from the cave next to them. It turned out that there were 4 very small children hidden in the cave, all of which were the children of this middle-aged woman. Finally, the warriors let her go and gave her some food. Warriors have long been accustomed to things like this.
Since ancient times, war has always accompanied human civilization, and when a country is occupied by another country, many innocent people in the occupied country will suffer unfair treatment and even lose their lives. It is said that during the Second World War, many countries suffered such a tragic experience, and countless innocent people were bullied by the soldiers of the invaders. However, this kind of thing has never happened in our People's Liberation Army.
This is the true "teacher of civilization, teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and teacher of justice"!
For the war between China and Vietnam, the Germans once made a documentary with 9 minutes and 49 seconds. In this documentary, it recounts why China fought back against Vietnam and the crimes committed by Vietnamese on the Sino-Vietnamese border. This war, which we Chinese called "self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam", and the Germans commented on this war as "China's resistance to Vietnam"! The Germans only used these 6 words to evaluate the "self-defense counterattack against Vietnam", objective facts, exact words! It is enough to prove that justice is in the hearts of the people, the eyes of the people of the world are shining, and China is even more righteous!
Why did the Sino-Vietnamese war burn? This brings us to the world pattern at that time. At that time, the war involved 4 countries, namely China, Vietnam, the Soviet Union, and the United States, with China and Vietnam in the open, and the United States and the Soviet Union behind the scenes.
As we all know, from the end of World War II until the collapse of the Soviet Union, the world pattern has been in a "Cold War" state during this period, and the United States and the Soviet Union are opposing superpowers. At that time, China, Vietnam and the Soviet Union were all socialist countries, which could be described as "good brothers". However, due to the border issue, China and the Soviet Union have had many military conflicts.
In 1969, the "Treasure Island Incident" broke out on the Sino-Soviet border, which led to a sharp deterioration in Sino-Soviet relations, and the Soviet Union even wanted to carry out a "surgical nuclear strike" against China.
Originally, China and the Soviet Union were vietnam's "big brothers" and had good relations, but due to the rupture of Sino-Soviet relations, the Soviet Union secretly co-opted Vietnam, and coupled with the War between the United States and Vietnam, the Vietnamese "beat away" the Yankees, making their confidence extremely "inflated", and they sided with the Soviet Union. As the old saying goes: "There is no eternal friendship, only eternal interests", we China can not suffer losses, so we have established diplomatic relations with the United States. For the Vietnamese, the United States is definitely the number one enemy, and the enemy's friends are definitely the enemy, so Vietnam is more pro-Soviet and hostile to China. This is also a major cause of the "self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam".
In Vietnam, on the other hand, they insisted that the reason for the outbreak of this war was China's invasion of Vietnam. At a glance, the discerning person knows that there is an essential difference between the two "statements". The German documentary records the most authentic historical picture, although less than ten minutes, but in this video, it can fully prove that the German evaluation of the war "6 words" is very accurate.
