After a long period of hard work, China has evolved from a backward country to a large country that now ranks third in the world in terms of comprehensive strength, and today, China is the most influential socialist country in the world. We all know that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China followed the Soviet model in many places, and the Chinese revolution also drew on the experience of the Soviet Red Army. But then Sino-Soviet relations deteriorated, and the Soviet Union not only withdrew all the experts who aided China and took away all the materials, but also gathered a million troops on the Sino-Soviet border in 1968, but in the end it did not dare to go south to China.
But the situation was very critical, the Soviet Union's 43 army divisions in the Far East and 12 army divisions stationed in Outer Mongolia were very well equipped, and the nearly 700,000 troops seriously threatened China's security. Not only that, the Soviet Union can be said to have gone to great lengths, deploying 24 divisions of air force and air defense forces, including more than 1,200 fighters and 3,500 anti-aircraft missile launchers.
We all know that since ancient times, wars can not be without materials and manpower, and the assistance and replenishment in the later period is even more important, and at that time, the former Soviet Union only had a Trans-Siberian Railway in the Far East, and it was unrealistic to want to transport a large number of material resources, so the inconvenience of transportation became one of the reasons why the Soviet Union did not attack China from the south.
The second reason is that the Soviet Union was in a special stage of competing with the United States for hegemony at that time, during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the great war between the two countries was on the verge of breaking out, if the Soviet Union attacked China from the south at that time, then the United States would surely take advantage of the void, and the result of the Soviet Union was only to take care of it, and finally fail miserably.
Moreover, China was rising at that time, with more than 6 million troops, and the successful explosion of China's atomic and hydrogen bombs, so the Soviet Union did not dare to act rashly. Not only that, the Soviet Union had witnessed China's 14-year arduous resistance against millet plus rifles, and finally won victory, and the gathering power and anti-war spirit of these peoples were also the places where the Soviet Union was afraid.
