Vietnam and China have a deep friendship, Vietnam's leader Ho Chi Minh founded the Vietnamese Communist Party organization in Hong Kong in 1930, and actively fought against the Japanese on the Sino-Vietnamese border, which won the support of the vast number of Chinese people. Vietnam and China are separated by only one river, and during World War II, both China and Vietnam faced the danger of being cannibalized by imperialism.
Ho Chi Minh was a long-sighted leader who admired Chairman Mao's leadership skills and, with Chairman Mao's encouragement, called on the people in Vietnam to resist imperialist aggression. After the founding of New China, China actively assisted Vietnam in achieving revolutionary victory. After Ho Chi Minh's death, Sino-Vietnamese relations began to deteriorate, and Vietnamese agents continued to harass China's borders and threaten the safety of border people.
First, Sino-Vietnamese relations are at odds
Nazhitun is a small, humble village on the border of Guangxi, which is remote, close to the border of Vietnam, and only a dozen families live. In 1978, Vietnam was close to the Soviet Union, and after seeing the bad relations between the Soviet Union and China, Vietnam, in order to show loyalty to the Soviet Union, constantly sent agents to invade the Border Areas of China, injuring the border people, and exerting a bad influence in China.
Considering its friendship with Vietnam for many years, China did not launch an armed struggle, but only verbally persuaded Vietnam to stop attacking China's border. But Vietnam felt that its backer was the Soviet Union, did not take China's warning to heart at all, and more and more brazenly provoked China's bottom line. In 1978, China launched a counterattack, rapidly occupying most of the cities in northern Vietnam within a month.
Vietnam was shocked by China, and China did not press forward, quickly retreated from Vietnamese territory, and destroyed Vietnam's basic engineering facilities as a warning in the retreat. The war brought sino-Vietnamese relations to a freezing point, and Vietnam has since repeatedly sent agents to tear down China's boundary markers on the border between the two countries, trying to seize China's territory, but has never succeeded.
2. Crack down on Vietnamese agents
In order to maintain the tranquility of the border people, every village has a militia responsible for daily patrols, as soon as vietnamese agents are found to be infiltrating, immediately report to the village government, waiting for reinforcements from the People's Liberation Army. Although Nazhitun is a small and unremarkable village, it is also within the range of Vietnamese shooting, and in order to ensure the safety of the villagers, Nazhitun sent seven militiamen to be responsible for the sentry.
One early morning in 1985, the squad leader of the tun militia was walking in the field with a hoe, ready to work in the field. He had led militia patrols through the village for many years and had never encountered a Vietnamese agent, but he never took it lightly. The squad leader inadvertently saw that the path leading to the mountain had left several footprints of different shades, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
The squad leader quickly gathered several other militiamen, all seven of whom thought it was possible that Vietnamese agents had entered the village and were hiding in the mountains ready to attack at night. Because there was no conclusive evidence, they did not dare to report to the village government, and decided to divide into two teams to patrol the mountains, leaving a person to set up a sentry in the village, and if things changed, they immediately asked the village government for support.
Since they had not received military training, the squad leader instructed several members of the patrol into the mountains not to rush into action if they found Vietnamese agents, and waited for the PLA to come to reinforcements. By this time, five well-equipped Vietnamese agents had taken refuge in the mountains, using the dense woods as cover, preparing to rest during the day to avoid being discovered by the villagers and launch a surprise attack at night.
The Vietnamese agents lay quietly resting on the grass, and the squad leader led a team member named Huang Yeqin to look for the traces of the Vietnamese agents, who walked quietly in the mountains with their cats on their waists. The border areas are often rainy, the mountains are muddy and the roads are slippery and difficult to navigate. I don't know how far I have gone, Huang Yeqin did not pay attention, slipped under his feet and fell to the ground, and the gun went off fire.
The sudden sound of gunfire alarmed the Vietnamese agents, who opened fire in the direction of Huang Yeqin, who luckily avoided the Vietnamese agent's attack and hid behind the rocks to prepare for a counterattack. The team members who heard the gunshots on the other side quickly rushed to support Huang Yeqin, and the militia who was sentry in the village commanded the villagers to go home and hide, and he ran to the village government to ask for help.
Huang Yeqin, with his quick hands, seized the opportunity under the cover of his team members and killed an enemy, and when the enemy retreated, he chased after it and wounded another agent. The People's Liberation Army quickly rushed to support, and the few remaining Vietnamese agents actually hid in Tibet and returned safely to Vietnamese territory. The seven militiamen that had hoarded it succeeded in guarding the safety of the villagers and were rewarded.
However, the Vietnamese agents had a vendetta, and the four agents who returned to Vietnam after months of devil training once again secretly infiltrated Na Chi Tun and prepared to carry out retaliation. The squad leader of na tun had a keen reconnaissance ability, and he once again found the traces of Vietnamese agents, this time the militia regiment took the hounds into the mountains to search, and successfully captured the traces of Vietnamese agents.
Conclusion: The militia of Na Tun was rewarded with a heavy machine gun with a very wide range in the last battle, and they used the machine gun to strafe the hill and killed a Vietnamese agent who was reconnoitring in the trees. The two remaining Vietnamese agents, although fleeing back to Vietnamese territory, were also seriously injured. The militia regiment of that tun made a second meritorious contribution and became a real village protection team.
Vietnam has created frictions large and small on China's borders, each time defused by the Chinese military and civilians. As China's international status continues to improve, Vietnam has taken the initiative to show goodwill to China, and China has once again established friendly relations with Vietnam regardless of its previous accusations.
