In the Vietnam War, the United States spent a lot of financial, manpower and material resources, but it was never able to completely protect South Vietnam, and paid a lot of casualties in order to pay.
The reason why Vietnam is so difficult to fight, in addition to the terrain environment, Sino-Soviet support and other reasons, is the Vietnamese people's fierce and good war, if the time is opened up a little, the Vietnamese people have been engaged in armed struggle since the beginning of the anti-Japanese resistance, there are decades of combat experience, and they have learned a very important point of our army - good at launching people's war, no matter children and women, almost can take up arms to resist.
In the course of resisting the United States, many enemy rear base areas were also developed in South Vietnam, and from time to time they attacked and killed the US troops who had fallen alone.
Now Australia is doing a lot of ugly things in Afghanistan, in fact, in the killing of civilians, the United States is a teacher among teachers, such as the extremely cruel My Lai village massacre.
The U.S. military executed more than five hundred Vietnamese villagers, most of them women and children, in a remote village called My Lai Village.
The massacre began when a 6-year-old Vietnamese child threw a grenade at the U.S. military, angering the U.S. military and retaliating against the villagers.
It can also be seen that the Vietnamese people are truly all soldiers, and this situation often occurs when China counterattacks against Vietnam later.
The People's Liberation Army has always had strict discipline and treated ordinary people with kindness, even the Vietnamese people, but it is precisely because of this that it has suffered a lot of losses.
Because they only held the goal of punishing the Le Son clique, they initially let the Vietnamese "people" get close to the exchange, but many women pretended to deliver water and food on the side of the road, but in fact they were female agents, some carrying explosives and wanting to destroy our army tanks, and some carrying guns in order to kill and injure our army's officers and men, causing great trouble.
Some peasant women in the fields look completely harmless, but when our army relaxes its vigilance, they will shoot black guns.
Many veterans have said after returning home that after suffering some losses, the PEOPLE's Liberation Army has gradually prevented Vietnamese civilians from approaching, but there is another target that is more difficult to prevent, that is, children.
It is said that the war made the daughters and children go away, but vietnam is the opposite, and women are not close to the children and start to let the children go to the battlefield. From the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War to 1979, Vietnam fought for decades, so their children also grew up under the fire of war, and from an early age they played not toys but "war games".
After several years of training, children are often assigned to tasks, carrying weapons and bombs and pretending to be playful and approaching our army. In the face of seemingly innocent children, our army naturally does not think so much, and will be wary of adults, but it did not expect that children can also do this step.
Some veterans recall that his troops encountered the lesson of an 8-year-old Vietnamese child throwing grenades at our tanks. After the incident, it also made the women and children of Vietnam in my army more vigilant.
In fact, after our army captured Lang Son, Hanoi, Vietnam, has begun to fully mobilize, temporarily build fortifications, train women and children to use weapons, and the most confusing thing is the photo of a Vietnamese woman holding a child and holding a rifle.
The Vietnamese people's mobilization ability is indeed very strong, and if he had not been provocative in his dream of domination, his development would have been better.
