I believe that everyone remembers the Vietnamese counter-offensive. The 30-day battle ended with victories on both sides. During Vietnam's war of resistance to U.S. aggression in the 1960s and 1970s, China extended a helping hand to its Vietnamese brothers in terms of weapons, ammunition, food, clothing, and personnel advisers to support Vietnam in resisting U.S. aggression. In the decade of the Sino-Vietnamese War, the Sino-Vietnamese border stopped and stopped, and the war continued. No one is the real winner of this war. In the 1980s, the two countries continued their military confrontation, and a decade-long border conflict broke out in Luojiaping Mountain, Faka Mountain, Qilin Mountain, Laoshan Mountain, Yinshan and other places. In the early 1990s, relations between the two countries gradually returned to normal, and the land border was finally demarcated.
As a peace-loving country, China will never take the initiative to provoke incidents, let alone invade other countries. We always adhere to peaceful coexistence and common development. However, loving peace does not mean that China is vulnerable to bullying. After the outbreak of the Sino-Vietnamese war, the Secretary-General of the United Nations learned of this news and only said 13 words to the Secretary-General, and there was no obvious big move.
At the end of 1978, with the help of Soviet troops, Vietnam continued to invade the Chinese border and carried out a series of aggressive activities. The Chinese government immediately decided to launch a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam and submitted a statement to the United Nations on the day of the war. This shows that China is angry at Vietnam's aggressive behavior and the way it is handled. The Sino-Vietnamese War began.
At that time, China had achieved a comprehensive victory in just one month. On the third day of the Sino-Vietnamese War, the Vietnamese army suffered tens of thousands of casualties and 7 important military bases were destroyed; On the fifth day, the entire defense system of the Vietnamese army was basically destroyed, and the number of Vietnamese casualties was countless. Chinese People's Liberation Army penetrates 30-50 kilometers deep into northern Vietnam, spanning the entire east-west border and reaching as far as 100 kilometers. Recover the territory of Phu Nyan Nêng and Thien Hoi Shan occupied by vietnamese troops; It occupied parts of Quang Ninh and Ha Xuan provinces in the four provinces of Gao Binh, Lang Sen, Hon Lian Shan and Lai Chau in northern Vietnam.
When news of the Sino-Vietnamese war reached the UN Secretary-General, he told his aides that he would not leave his office from now on. Thanks to the close attention of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, this greatly promoted the early end of the Sino-Vietnamese war and greatly reduced the personnel and economic losses of both sides. Some wonder why the United Nations did not prevent war from happening. Aren't there fewer casualties? This is a war of self-defense against Vietnam, and Vietnam's aggression against China has not stopped. What position can China's just war of self-defense stop? It is only through our own efforts that we can minimize the devastation of war.
Although the war ended temporarily in 1979, it was not until 1989 that the armed conflict on the Sino-Vietnamese border continued. In 1979, when China fought against Vietnamese self-defense, it achieved its expected operational objectives, disrupted Vietnam's strategic deployment in the Soviet Union, and destroyed industry and mining in northern Vietnam. It is of great significance to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity and to maintain peace and stability in Southeast Asia and the world at large.
