On February 17, 1979, Guangxi was commanded by Xu Shiyou, Yunnan was commanded by Yang Dezhi, the troops attacked Vietnam in two ways, after capturing Liangshan, the world thought that China would take Hanoi in one fell swoop, Deng Gong ordered the withdrawal of troops, the world was surprised, and it was only a month. Of course, the Sino-Vietnamese border war conflict has lasted for ten years, including the Battle of FarkaShan, the Battle of The Two Mountains, etc., and Several major war zones in China have taken turns to fight, which has effectively dealt a blow to Vietnam's arrogance, forced Vietnam to withdraw its troops from Cambodia and Laos, stabilized the international order, and laid the foundation for reform and opening up.
First of all, Vietnam disregarded the feelings of China and Vietnam in resisting France and resisting the United States for decades, thinking that it would be known as the world's third military power with the support of the Soviet Union, constantly provoking China, squeezing out the Chinese, invading Laos and Cambodia, and there was a great possibility of unifying Southeast Asia, and China wanted to spank Vietnam and stabilize border order.
Second, the Soviet Union in China border 1.2 million troops, to give China a lot of pressure, China taught Vietnam a lesson, broke the Soviet encirclement, consumed the Soviet Union's resources, from the seventies to the eighties the Soviet Union in the year of the Soviet Union to vietnam every year two or three billion dollars, and the Soviet Union in Europe and China on both sides of the deployment of heavy troops, making the Soviet Union financially unsustainable.
Third, Deng Gong began to carry out reform and opening up in 79, and opening up needs to be open to Western countries, between the Soviet Warsaw Pact and Western countries, China must have a choice to carry out reform and opening up, and the advanced science and technology of Western countries, mature economic systems and industrialization revolutions are all needed by China.
Finally, China wants to reform and open up, the country should focus on economic construction, Taoguang and obscurity, China needs a stable domestic and international environment, China does not need to spend a lot of money to maintain so many troops, so China and Vietnam counterattacked after the war China announced great disarmament, and used limited funds for economic construction.
China has developed now and has made such great achievements, although there are a little flaws such as corruption, but the country has become stronger, the people's living standards have improved, and I am grateful to Deng Gong for his wise decision-making, so that the Chinese nation can once again stand in the forefront of the world.
