In 1949, the founding of New China was all due to the sacrifices made by the revolutionaries of the older generation, which drove the aggressors out of china's territory and preserved the safety of people's lives and property and the integrity of the territory. But some of the countries around us are still being bullied by imperialism, they do not have territorial sovereignty, and the people of the countries where they live do not get the peaceful life they deserve.
Vietnam, which borders our country and Yunnan Province, is one of those oppressed by imperialism, and the local people resist but to no avail. The Communist Party of Vietnam was forced to turn to the Soviet Union for help, and the supreme leader of the Soviet Union at that time was Stalin, who entrusted this important task to Chairman Mao.
Chairman Mao, after careful consideration, sent a general to Vietnam to direct the battle, and at first the Vietnamese army did not obey his command, the seven thousand Vietnamese army could not take france of only four hundred people, and the commander of the Vietnamese army wanted to retreat, and the general reprimanded the commander in anger and personally led the army to quickly solve the battle.
Grand Admiral Chen Geng
Chen Geng was born on February 27, 1903 in a village in Xiangxiang City, Hunan Province, his father was the general of the Xiang Army at that time, Chen Geng had heard about it since he was a child, and what he often heard was the battlefield experience that his father talked about, which also subtly affected Chen Geng when he was a child, and at this time he had the idea of joining the army in his heart.
However, his father's original intention was to let Chen Geng know the cruelty and ruthlessness on the battlefield, discourage his enthusiasm, and did not want his children to step on the battlefield. But in the end, it could not stop Chen Geng's enthusiasm for the revolutionary cause.
In 1916, Chen Geng, who was only 16 years old, resolutely joined the Xiang Army and participated in the campaign against Wu Peifu and Zhang Jingyao. He also joined the "Youth Salvation Congress" in Changsha and actively engaged in some anti-imperialist movements.
In December 1922, he joined the Communist Party of China, and later went to the Whampoa Military Academy to study, and after graduation, he participated in revolutionary work and fought with the Kuomintang for a long time. Chen Geng repeatedly assisted the Communists in turning dangers into disasters, followed the Long March of the Central Red Army, crossed the Jinsha River by chance, and after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, repeatedly cooperated with the soldiers to annihilate the Japanese army.
In the face of danger, he was ordered to assist Vietnam
At that time, new China had just been founded, everything in the country was in ruins, and the people's lives were gradually on the right track. While our neighbor, Vietnam, was suffering from The French, one of Vietnam's Communist comrades, Ho Chi Minh, followed the advice of Soviet leader Stalin and went to Beijing to ask Chairman Mao for support.
Chairman Mao knew that this news was very important and hoped that China would establish relations of mutual help and mutual assistance with neighboring countries. After weighing the development of our country, Chairman Mao decided to unconditionally donate weapons and military advisers to Vietnam and to send a force to help them train their troops.
After much consideration, the party organization entrusted this important task to Chen Geng because Chen Geng had sufficient combat experience and a strong command ability. When Chen Geng arrived in Vietnam, he quickly made strategic arrangements with the Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh.
They planned a war on the Sino-Vietnamese border, which would not only liberate Gao Binh of Vietnam, but also enhance friendly relations between the two countries. According to the previous reports of the Vietnamese army fighting the French army in Gaoping, Chen Geng retraced the terrain of Gaoping by the way and found that the advantage of this place over the Vietnamese army was not too great.
Therefore, it is necessary to prepare to capture Dongxi first, and when Dongxi is captured, then Gaoping's military strength has also been greatly weakened, and it is only a matter of time before Gaoping is recovered. Chen Geng believed that in this battle, the Vietnamese army sent more than 7,000 soldiers, and with the support of our weapons, it was easy to attack the French army in the position of 400 people.
Angry and scolding, personally on the field
Chen Geng put forward his opinion to the commander of the Vietnamese army: "There are two reasons for attacking Dongxi first, the first point is that our military strength is far superior to that of the enemy, and there is a great certainty of victory. The second point of view is to attack Dongxi first, which will well block the enemy's reinforcements to Gaoping."
However, the Vietnamese army listened to Chen Geng's point of view and did not agree, and the commander of the Vietnamese army believed that attacking Dongxi was not only a waste of weapons and ammunition, but also easy to hit the grass and snakes, so that the French army in GaoPing had some defenses, and it was even more difficult to fight down. However, with Wu Yuanjia's approval, these officers could only remain silent and support Chen Geng's approach.
The Vietnamese army gathered more than 7,000 soldiers in Dongxi, carrying many weapons, and under the premise of occupying the vast majority of numbers and weapons superiority, the enemy was beaten to the ground.
The Vietnamese also quickly occupied many of their preferred positions. When the general offensive was launched, the Vietnamese artillery battalion first launched an attack on the French heights, which made it impossible for the enemy to quickly organize a defensive line to resist the Vietnamese army.
The Vietnamese divided their forces into several units from different directions and approached the French military strongholds. Chen Geng thought that the victory was in his hands, so he went to sleep with peace of mind. However, the next day it was reported that the Vietnamese had not penetrated the French military positions and were now in a stalemate with the French in front of the positions.
Wu Yuanjia reported the situation to General Chen Geng, indicating that the advantage was in the hands of the enemy and wanted to show retreat, Chen Geng was furious when he heard Wu Yuanjia's report, and loudly rebuked: "Can this battle still be fought?" Earlier, because of your judgment, the fighter planes were delayed, and now we still have to withdraw our troops, so I will go directly back to China! ”
In the end, the Vietnamese army did not withdraw its troops, and was under the personal command of General Chen Geng. Within a few days, Dongxi was quickly captured. Taking advantage of the victory, he captured Gaoping, and subsequently liberated many cities.
brief summary:
It is precisely because of such a bloody general as Chen Geng that our motherland has been exchanged for today's peace and beauty.
Although on the Battlefield of Vietnam, Chen Geng hated the Vietnamese warriors, it is undeniable that he was decisive in military command, had very clever ideas, and successfully liberated parts of Vietnam.
