After the founding of New China, there have been several wars with the outside world, and the end is all based on our victory, and the closest to us is the counterattack against Vietnam, and the end of this war is victory, but the object makes us very painful.
Because of the reunification of Vietnam, we were very energetic, but we did not expect that after its reunification, we immediately turned our faces and opposed the Soviet Union and opposed China, constantly provoking at the border, and the most ironic scene was that on the Sino-Vietnamese friendship bridge, the Vietnamese shot and killed our border guards.
So, what did Vietnam's painstaking anti-China efforts ultimately gain?
First of all, the most direct is the number of people, China's nine armies went south to destroy the decay, successively conquered the important towns in northern Vietnam, its casualties of more than 60,000 soldiers, the main Vietnamese troops after being crushed, and then turned to guerrilla warfare.
Some aspects of Vietnam are "students" of the People's Liberation Army, good at using the unique terrain to fight guerrillas, and all-round soldiers, often some "people" take advantage of our army's defenselessness and shoot black guns, our army soldiers have had the unfortunate encounter with black hands in the process of rescue, in view of these militias, the People's Liberation Army is no longer soft-hearted, began the combat task of clearing and suppressing while penetrating, for this reason, Vietnam has killed and injured more than 50,000 militiamen.
The cumulative death and injury of more than 110,000 people is very serious for Vietnam, because it has been fighting wars for decades, and there are fewer men, and after this war, it is even more injured.
There is industry beyond the population, and the standard for a modern country is the level of industry. We all know that Vietnam is now unified by North Vietnam, and in 1979 it was not unified for a long time, the industrial center of gravity was all in the north, and our country destroyed all the facilities that were aided in that year, leaving Vietnam's industry basically paralyzed.
After the occupation, it was found that a large number of weapons, equipment, food and materials that had been aided were taken away, and those that could not be taken away were also destroyed on the spot.
These two practices are very fatal to Vietnam, they are originally agricultural countries, the level of industry is not high, so it is considered to be "a return to the pre-liberation period". Without food and industrial capacity, the economic level naturally declined.
If Viet Nam can get lost in time and redevelop its efforts for peace, the pace of recovery will not be too slow. However, Vietnam seems to have lost the red-eyed gambler, pushing all the chips on the gambling table one by one, constantly creating friction and building fortifications on our border, in a vain attempt to confront our country for a long time, and then triggering a two-mountain round war.
At that time, one of the major drawbacks of our army was that we did not fight for a long time, but the round battle gave us the opportunity to train troops, and the ten major group armies took turns to fight, destroyed many positions of the Vietnamese army, and gained actual combat experience.
The situation in Vietnam is not so good, he is not only fighting with China, but also with Cambodia, as mentioned earlier, most of its domestic facilities have been destroyed, and it is the Soviet Union that relies on maintaining two-front operations.
The Soviet Union gave a large number of blood transfusions to Vietnam when the country was strong, so Vietnam spent all its strength on the war, and as a result, the Soviet Union turned its face and invaded Afghanistan, and naturally the assistance on this side slowly stopped.
It wasn't until the Soviet Union cut off supplies that Vietnam realized how miserable it really was, with a per capita GDP of less than $100 in 1985, even the rice of frontline soldiers was mixed with sand, and the allowances for retired soldiers were cut again and again, which caused resentment.
After Li Sun's death in 1986, a group of people in his group continued to fight for several years, until 1989, when its national strength was too much to support, and the Soviet Union was almost dead, the two-mountain round war stopped.
Moreover, not long after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Vietnam reached a consensus with our country on the issue of borders, which was completely based on our opinion.
So finally, to sum up, what the two countries that fought each gained.
Our country has achieved decades of peace in southern Xinjiang and has greatly eased the pressure in the north. If Vietnam completes its aggression against Cambodia, then there will be a hostile country with a wide border in the south of our country, so that the border defense will be much larger.
After defeating Vietnam's dream of hegemony in one fell swoop, this problem was solved, and with the Soviet Union's vigorous blood transfusion, there was no way to provoke trouble in the north of our country, and the pressure on the two lines suddenly disappeared.
Moreover, that year was an important period of reform and opening up, which also allowed a large amount of foreign capital to flow into the country, and the economy rose sharply.
On the other hand, Vietnam, the industrial level has almost stagnated in the past ten years, the economy has not been able to develop, as an agricultural country, grain has been imported later, the population has also lost a lot, and finally the territory has not been fished, why bother?
The strategic level of the leaders of the two countries is high and low!
Of course, the war has always been terrible, and because of the ambitions of the Li Sun clique, both countries have paid a lot of lives, which is really resentful.
