What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
If we want to talk about the most recent war to modern times, then we must talk about the self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam that broke out in 1979, which is also worthy of our reflection and summary. As time goes on, most people may forget about the battle, and the warriors who defended their homeland. As China's good leader living in Vietnam, China has provided great help in the War to Resist the United States and france. But it was in such a situation that after Vietnam fought for independence, it began to turn its face to China, and with the support of the Soviet Union, began to create bloody cases in the Sino-Vietnamese border area. In the counterattack against Vietnam, Zhang Wannian was furious: bomb them to death, only because a note was found on the captives!
Vietnam's arrogance, under repeated warnings from the Chinese People's Liberation Army, failed to rein in, and finally we could not bear it any longer, and China's leaders began to punish Vietnam, so in 1979 the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam broke out. It has to be said that Vietnam has made great progress in military strength and experience in the war between the United States and France, and their 20 years of actual combat experience have also helped them, not only with a large number of weapons, but also the birth of the world's famous special agent team. Among them, female agents also exist in such units, and the threat to our army has also reached a certain point.
Chinese people's liberation army began to attack Vietnam from two directions, one in Yunnan and the other in Guangxi. The Eastern Front also became the main battlefield of the counterattack against Vietnam, Xu Shiyou was the commander of the Guangzhou Military Region at that time and also served as the commander-in-chief of the campaign, and Zhang Wannian was the general responsible for leading the troops. Because Zhang Wannian had been a military adviser to Vietnam in the early days, he also had a good understanding of Vietnam's combat methods and terrain. Therefore, Zhang Wannian was well prepared for the operation of the counterattack against Vietnam.
Although Zhang Wannian had combat experience, the young soldiers did not. Cherishing every soldier is the mood that the chief should have, so Zhang Wannian ran to the battlefield and began to practice before the battle with the soldiers, teaching these young soldiers how to survive in the jungle, how to recognize the mine array laid by the enemy, and so on. And all his combat experience and experience in Vietnam were informed to the soldiers, and the battle broke out, and the soldiers who had been trained by Zhang Wannian carried out the combat plan in an orderly manner, and soon achieved very good results. Seeing the situation, the Vietnamese side began to be anxious, after all, before the war, it was known as the "world's third largest military power in the world", but now it was forced to retreat step by step. So the Vietnamese side came up with an improper method, what improper method? It is the "chemical weapons" that everyone is familiar with, and this is the second bacteriological weapon destruction suffered by our soldiers after the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Even more despicable, during interrogation after the Vietnamese army was captured by our army, an infuriating note was found from a Vietnamese prisoner that read, "Use of chemical weapons against the People's Liberation Army." Zhang Wannian, who heard the news, immediately became angry and said, "Blow them up." This decision of the general was very correct. In 15 years, General Zhang Wannian was unable to be effectively cured of his illness, and ended his life journey in Beijing at the age of 87, paying tribute to those revolutionary ancestors, your spirit will always reside in the hearts of future generations!
