The war of self-defense against Vietnam was a war fought back by China's provocations against Vietnam. In this battle, the People's Liberation Army struck hard at the Vietnamese army and dealt a heavy blow to Vietnam's arrogance. Before the War against Vietnam, our army was commanded by this general. When the Vietnamese commander Wu Yuanjia learned about it, he sneered and said two words. Who is this person? Why did Wu Yuanjia have such contempt?
In 1979, Vietnam provoked China indefinitely and tried to launch an offensive on the Chinese border. The Vietnamese government is a clown, but with the support of the Soviet Union, the Vietnamese government is so rampant. Vietnam, under the patronage of the Soviet Union, felt that no matter how much it provoked China, China would swallow its anger. But the results shocked the world, and China had no choice but to go to war with Vietnam. The Chinese People's Liberation Army counterattacked Vietnam and let the Vietnamese government know what it meant: "Those who offend china will be punished from afar." ”
At that time, in order to combat Vietnam's arrogance, China sent the People's Liberation Army to fight back against Vietnam, and the commander-in-chief at the time was Our founding general Xu Shiyou. Xu Shiyou's prestige, everyone has heard of it. Xu Shiyou's life can be summed up in three words, namely "courage", "loyalty" and "filial piety". Xu Shiyou is a famous general in our army, and it can be said that his reputation is outstanding. Whether it was the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression or the War of Liberation, General Xu Shiyou made great achievements in battle.
The reason why the central authorities chose General Xu Shiyou as the commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army to counterattack Vietnam is not without reason. Xu Shiyou participated in the revolution in his early years, shined in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and was a great general who experienced hundreds of battles. After Xu Shiyou was appointed by The King, he was scorned by the Vietnamese Wu Yuanjia. The arrogant Wu Yuanjia also threatened to say two words: "Victory will be won." Wu Yuanjia looked down on General Xu Shiyou and felt that with him commanding the troops, Vietnam would win. As the war began, Wu Yuanjia soon recognized the strength of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
The outcome of the war could not be clearer. From February 17 to March 16, 1979, the Chinese People's Liberation Army occupied more than 20 important cities and counties in northern Vietnam in a short period of time, claiming victory within a month. Subsequently, the People's Liberation Army began to systematically destroy the infrastructure in northern Vietnam and then withdrew from Vietnam. In this battle, the Chinese People's Liberation Army won a complete victory, and Vietnam could be destroyed at any time.
Wu Yuanjia looked down on General Xu Shiyou and felt that Xu Shiyou was a brave and unscrupulous person. Xu Shiyou was born in Henan and studied martial arts at the Shaolin Temple, Xu Shiyou's martial arts value is very high, and normal three or five people simply cannot get close to General Xu Shiyou's body. Because of this, Wu Yuanjia felt that Xu Shiyou was a reckless man. Wu Yuanjia's eyes were bright, and he did not know that Xu Shiyou was a victorious general in our army, and he did not know that General Xu Shiyou was a resourceful person.
After the war against Vietnam began, Xu Shiyou soon let Wu Yuanjia see the power of Chinese soldiers. At this moment, Wu Yuanjia also clearly realized that China was no longer the country that was left to be slaughtered by others in the past. At that time, although Vietnam hated China, it also admired China from the bottom of its heart. A country that can help them unconditionally, a country with a clear sense of grievance.
The Sino-Vietnamese self-defense counterattack made Vietnam see The strength of China, and made Vietnam realize that it was nothing more than a plaything in the hands of a big country.
