Viet Nam is one of our neighbours and has maintained close ties since ancient times. Vietnam declared independence after World War II, but at that time the Soviet Union and the United States tried to control Vietnam through political intervention and economic repression, and the Vietnamese people actively resisted. As one of its neighbours, my country has not hesitated to lend a helping hand to Vietnam.
At that time, our country was very poor in all aspects shortly after the founding of the country, but it still chose to help without hesitation. Who knew that after the Vietnam crisis was resolved, he completely forgot about our country's help to him, and at the instigation of the Soviet Union, he constantly harassed our borders. In the face of repeated verbal persuasions without success, my country has chosen to strike back by force.
After the 1979 self-defense counterattack, it took only about a month for Vietnam to surrender. Because on the battlefield they found that they did not have the advantage in both the number of combatants and the weapons of war, and that prolonging the long period of time would only lead to the damage to their own interests, so they could only choose to surrender. Although the war did not last long, both sides suffered varying degrees of personnel injuries. So what senior generals did both China and Vietnam lose in this battle?
Huang Bianshan was resourceful, but he could not escape death
In the self-defense counterattack, the senior general lost by the Vietnamese army was named Huang Bian Shan, who was a colonel. Hwang Binh Shan was the commander of the 346th Division of the Vietnamese Army, which had a strong combat ability and a total number of more than 10,000 people, so it had many entanglements with our army. Huang Bianshan was good at using terrain to fight, and he surprised his troops, which caused a lot of trouble to our army.
The team led by Huang Bianshan is very capable of anti-reconnaissance, and they are good at disguising themselves. Soldiers carry guns to fight when they lead soldiers to fight. At the time of the truce, they picked up hoes and disguised themselves as ordinary farmers, so it was difficult to identify. It is precisely because of this that our army is often confused by them.
Fortunately, our army did not give up lightly, and finally succeeded in taking the high ground after many attacks. At that time, Huang Bianshan's team suffered heavy casualties, and our soldiers did not find his body during the search. At that time, there was a saying that he was destroyed by the bomb, so there was no trace. But there was also speculation that he hid and then fled.
He joined the army at the age of sixteen and died on the battlefield
The first senior general of our army lost in the Vietnam War was named Zhao Lianyu, who chose to join the army when he was 16 years old, and has followed the team around to fight, and his combat experience is very rich. During his enlistment in the army, he made countless military achievements and received many awards. After the outbreak of the self-defense counterattack, he voluntarily applied to the front line and took the initiative to take on the most dangerous task as the deputy division commander of the army.
The whole course of the operation was very smooth, and Zhao Lianyu successfully completed all the tasks, but an accident occurred the night before he planned to withdraw his troops and return to China. At that time, Zhao Lianyu was patrolling with his guards, observing the surrounding terrain by the way. Who knew that at this moment, a gunshot suddenly sounded, and then Zhao Lianyu fell to the ground in response. No one expected that Zhao Lianyu would be sacrificed in this way. It was a Vietnamese farmer who hit him, which was unbelievable.
Experienced in the battlefield, he was unfortunately killed in the Vietnam War
The second senior general who died was named Lin Fengyun, who was also an experienced veteran. He was conscripted into the army in 1947 and had previously participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Lin Fengyun had a strong combat ability in leading troops, and had made many military achievements in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and at that time his position was deputy political commissar.
In the process of leading the army, Lin Fengyun encountered an ambush by the enemy, and he was carrying a tank regiment. Due to the special terrain, the tank regiment could not move, and they could not even retreat. Lin Fengyun sensed the danger and knew that it would be difficult for him to retreat, so he chose to fight backwaters.
At that time, Lin Fengyun was carrying many confidential documents, and once he fell into the hands of the enemy, the consequences could not be imagined. In order to protect these documents, Lin Fengyun burned them in advance, and then commanded his subordinates to actively resist. Our army was unprepared for the ambush this time, and did not have an advantage in terrain, even if there was a fierce battle, Lin Fengyun still failed to lead the team to break through successfully.
In the course of the battle, he was shot by a bullet, and Lin Fengyun knew that he could not escape, so he told the guards around him not to let his wife and children cause trouble for the organization after his death. He does not want a single share of the pension for State compensation, and all of them are voluntarily handed in. At the last moment of his life, Lin Fengyun first thought of the country, which shows that he is a qualified soldier.
brief summary
In the war of self-defense and counterattack, both the Vietnamese army and our army officers paid a painful price. Once a war breaks out, there will be no absolute victory, so in order to maintain national stability and world peace, any country has the obligation to say no to war. Our stable and peaceful life today is not easy to come by, so everyone should cherish it.
