In war, there is a special profession called spy,
They do not go to the battlefield, nor do they fight the enemy head-on, but go deep into the enemy and do unseemly things
。 After special training, they are quick-witted and agile, and will do everything they can to spy on each other's confidential documents and army deployment plans.
In 1978, after the victory of the VietnamEse War of Independence, after driving out the United States, they were very rampant, and actually hit the "small abacus" on the head of Chinese.
During this period, he not only sent spies to infiltrate the mainland to spy on intelligence on many occasions, but also frequently harassed and invaded the border territory of the mainland
。
In order to stop Vietnam's dishonest behavior, the Central Military Commission decided to send troops to counterattack Vietnam
, teach this dishonest guy a little lesson, so as not to think that we are a bully every day.

Subsequently, our army began to tensely prepare for the counterattack against Vietnam, and this counterattack war was carried out by our army from Yunnan and Guangxi as the breakthrough point, which was divided into three stages.
The Guangxi Theater was commanded by General Xu Shiyou, while the Yunnan Theater was commanded by General Yang Dezhi.
When General Xu Shiyou arrived in Nanning, Guangxi, to prepare for the deployment of combat matters, when he first arrived in Nanning, he noticed that there was an anomaly here, and he suspected that Nanning had infiltrated a large number of Vietnamese secret service organizations, so he quickly reported it to the central authorities.
So, how did General Xu Shiyou discover these agents?
What will happen to this group of spies in the end?
Hello audience friends, today to take you to understand, a small story that occurred before the counterattack against Vietnam, new friends can click a note, so that it is convenient to browse the previous content, and will not miss our latest wonderful.
The profession of spy has existed since ancient times, but at that time it was called a spy
They belong to the core force of strategic decision-making, the role of a spy organization is far more than a combat unit, and some high-level spies can even decide the success or failure of the war and affect the direction of history, so many countries attach great importance to intelligence stations.
For example, the United States has the CIA, Israel Mossad, Russia's KGB and other organizations, they are similar to spies, but the name is different, the purpose of everyone's work is obvious, that is, to explore all useful information, timely report to the organization department.
Affected by film and television dramas, in people's impressions, spy organizations rely on a few men with supernatural powers, or a few beautiful women, to enter entertainment venues and approach military personnel to obtain intelligence.

But the truth is not like the film and television drama,
Intelligence organizations are a very large system, they have been professionally trained to have a clear division of labor, through meticulous work to obtain the most true and accurate intelligence, so as to provide their own side with the most favorable war strategy.
Since the Vietnam War of Independence lasted for 20 years, it can be said that after the liberation of New China, Vietnam has always been in a state of war, so the experience in special pragmatic warfare is very rich, and the agents of their country are even more out of the KGB, and the latent skills of the agents are very skilled.
Vietnam has always had a sense of hostility toward the mainland from ancient times to the present, even when the United States attacked them.
The Grand Duke of the Mainland selflessly supported their nearly 20 billion supplies
But this guy is a typical white-eyed wolf, after the end of the civil war of independence, Vietnam not only did not take the mainland's favor to heart, but even many Vietnamese people were full of hostility to the mainland.
As early as the Sino-Vietnamese friendship period, Vietnam's intelligence agencies were secretly laid out in China.
Many Vietnamese lurked on the mainland, responsible for gathering intelligence and spreading rumors, and once the two countries exchanged fire, they would create chaos, try to disturb the hearts and minds of our army, and even carry out assassination plans.

In the 1960s, the United States made a lot of war wealth in World War II, and the United States, which soared in status, began to compete with the Soviet Union for the status of world hegemony, so the two sides began to tie up allies and fight openly and secretly.
Later, for various reasons, Sino-Soviet relations broke down, at this time the United States wanted to win china over, in order to jointly balance the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union wanted to extend its hand to the territory of Asia, but it was helpless.
In order to suppress China, the Soviet Union vigorously supported Vietnam in military weapons, allowing Vietnam to find trouble for the mainland.
At that time, Vietnam had just defeated the United States, and with the support of the Soviet Union, he was bent on ascending to the position of the boss of Southeast Asia, so he successively invaded Laos and Cambodia, and at the instigation of the big brother of the Soviet Union, unscrupulously encroached on the southern border territory of the mainland and harassed the people of Yunnan and Guangxi on the border between the two countries.
Although the mainland hopes for peace, Vietnam's behavior has already violated the mainland's territory, and China has never backed down on the territorial issue, and in the face of Vietnam's provocations, the mainland leaders decided to teach this uninteresting guy a lesson.
So our army decided to open the curtain of the "counterattack war against Vietnam's self-defense," and hundreds of thousands of Chinese people's Liberation Army.
The Vietnamese army was attacked from Guangxi and Yunnan respectively, while General Xu Shiyou personally commanded the Guangxi front.

In December 1978, General Xu Shiyou came to Nanning to deploy combat work.
He had just arrived in Nanning on his front foot, and the next day a foreign newspaper reported the matter, which instantly attracted the attention of the international community.
The report clearly reads: "General Xu Shiyou, a famous veteran of China, has arrived in Nanning, Guangxi, to participate in the event. ”
Xu Shiyou, who was thick and thin, was furious after learning of this situation,
He knew that in order to better deploy the battle plan, he had never announced his whereabouts from the outside of the army
This front foot has just arrived in Nanning, and the back foot has been reported.
How did the newspaper know its whereabouts so quickly and unmistakably?
There is only one answer, that is, there must be a large number of Vietnamese spy agents in Nanning.
As a result, Commander Xu immediately called an emergency meeting, in which he stressed: "There must be Vietnamese agents lurking in Nanning." The crowd was also very surprised after hearing this, and they thought to themselves that the old general had only been in Nanning for one day, so how could they be sure that there were spies?

There are even a few local officials who want to get rid of responsibility,
He said directly: "How can there be spies in Nanning?" We have been doing a very good job in the work of cleaning up and suppressing secret agents, and there will be no secret agents in Nanning! ”
Xu Shiyou was furious after hearing this: "If there is no secret agent, how does the outside world know that I have come to Nanning, and now what we have to do is not to shirk responsibility, but to investigate immediately and take measures quickly." ”
The next day, Xu Shiyou, with his staff officers, found the responsible persons of the Guangxi Autonomous Region and the Guangxi Military Region and asked them to thoroughly investigate the secret service organization in Nanning and find out how the information leaked out.
Finally, through a large number of visits and surveys,
Nanning believes that there are two channels for leaking secrets, one is the international intermodal transport system of the China-Vietnam Railway.

At that time, the Vietnamese railway department had a handover office in Nanning, where more than a dozen Vietnamese people worked, and their handover office was very close to the mainland railway department, about 30 meters away.
And at the time,
All the personnel and goods on the mainland have come through this railway, so many military secrets and the whereabouts of personnel are very clear to the railway department, and the news is likely to be leaked from here.
The other is the China-Vietnam border trade!
At that time, the non-governmental trade on the Border between China and Vietnam was still going on, and the Chinese had always been simple and generous, and during the period of friendly relations, Vietnam wantonly installed secret agents in the mainland.
China's foreign trade workers have never regarded vietnamese brothers as outsiders, so these agents will disguise themselves as border traders.
They will go to great lengths to make good connections with Chinese doing business at the border, so as to find ways to obtain intelligence information.
Even some Vietnamese scouts would directly disguise themselves as traders and enter the mainland for reconnaissance in the name of doing business
So these Vietnamese agents with missions, deliberately hiding their real identities, are difficult to find.

After hearing the report from Nanning, Xu Shiyou immediately wrote a letter to the central authorities.
The letter proposed the expulsion of all staff members in the Vietnamese handover office, demanded the immediate closure of the China-Vietnam International Intermodal Transport, and sent troops to seal the border to stop Sino-Vietnamese trade.
After receiving Xu Shiyou's letter, the Central Committee approved General Xu Shiyou's request.
Subsequently, the Guangxi Military Region sent troops to expel all the personnel of the handover office, and blocked the border trade and stopped the intermodal transport, so that the Vietnamese agents could no longer understand the movement of our army.
On February 17, 1979, the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam was officially launched, and the entire counterattack lasted for less than a month, and our army took many important towns in Vietnam.
Among them, General Xu Shiyou fought the most classic battle, that is, the Ten Thousand Artillery Bombardment of Langshan, which was also called the War Meat Grinder by posterity.

Lang Son is an important transportation hub in Vietnam and a barrier gateway to the inland river of the capital of Vietnam.
Once our army captures Lang Son, then the Vietnamese capital will be completely exposed to the muzzle of our army's guns, across the lofty mountain of Lang Son, it is not far from the capital of Vietnam, and it is still a plain, you can imagine the geographical importance of Lang Son.
Of course, the Vietnamese side knew that Lang Shan was important, so it sent an ace unit known as the "Venus Division" to guard it, and at that time this unit once clamored to teach the Mainland Liberation Army a painful lesson.
Unashamedly shouted out, "Hit the friendship pass to eat breakfast, hit Nanning for the Spring Festival!" " wild talk

Our army, on the other hand, was fighting deep into other countries, and after a long journey it was already exhausted, so the mainland decided to take advantage of the dangerous terrain in the mountains to fight with the enemy.
Therefore, General Xu Shiyou decided to change the battle plan and set up an observation group.
Let them carry reconnaissance planes on their backs, find the coordinates of enemy artillery, and show the infantry in the direction of tank artillery
Cover the advance of our infantry with intensive firepower, and then our army will point where to fight, and sure enough, this method of concocting artillery works very well, and soon our army will break through all six important positions of the Vietnamese army, and the enemy's firepower will be completely destroyed.
However, the Vietnamese army jumped off the wall in a hurry, so mad that it violated the spirit of humanitarianism, and in disregard of international law, it released poison gas bombs on our army, and our army could only be forced to retreat, resulting in a stalemate in the war situation again.
Vietnam's move completely angered General Xu Shiyou, a fierce general in the army, so he immediately ordered ten thousand artillery shells to bombard Lang Shan, and the piece of armor was not left!

The next day, General Xu Shiyou mobilized more than 300 artillery, tanks, and infantry to Come to Langshan, and with Xu Shiyou's order, more than 300 artillery pieces were fired at the same time, and for a time the entire Langshan became a sea of fire, firing tens of thousands of shells in just thirteen minutes, with unprecedented intensity.
Of course, the Mainland People's Liberation Army will not indiscriminately kill innocent people, and before the ten thousand artillery bombardment of Lang Shan, General Xu Shiyou ordered people to find out clearly, the people of Lang Shan had long since been safely evacuated, and the entire Lang Shan was left with only the Vietnamese ace army that had been defeated and retreated by our army, and at this time they could no longer be arrogant and no longer dared to underestimate China.
The Battle of Lang Son fought the Vietnamese army completely lost its fighting spirit, and the mainland originally fought a self-defense war.
By this time, the war had given the world a glimpse of China's strength, so the central authorities ordered the PLA border troops to withdraw to the country

But at this time,
Vietnam, on the other hand, came to operate boshin and preached to the outside world that our army was not capable of fighting the Qiqian River
The Vietnamese gibberish provoked General Xu to think that Vietnam was rubbing the dignity of the Mainland Liberation Army on the ground, thinking that it was really angry and ridiculous, they did not see the coffin without tears.
thereupon
General Xu Shiyou ordered that the People's Liberation Army, which had planned to retreat, crossed the Qiqi River
As a result, the Vietnamese government that the People's Liberation Army has fought through the Poverty Kie River is like a bird of fright, and as long as the Chinese People's Liberation Army continues to attack, the Vietnamese capital Hanoi is like a probe for things.
At this time, the government workers in Hanoi have begun to flee, but the mainland advocates peace and does not continue to attack Vietnam and occupy the Vietnamese capital Hanoi.
Instead, the People's Liberation Army withdrew all of it from China, and Vietnam completely lost its arrogance after this beating.
The People's Liberation Army withdrew to China
In the Vietnamese self-defense counterattack, General Xu Shiyou made great achievements, so that those who were uneasy and kind completely saw the wisdom of Chinese and the strength of China, and now China is no longer the China that was once ravaged by others.
