Vietnam has been blown too hard, and there is nothing worth blowing in this country. Many people have stared at the defeat of the United States in the Vietnam War and concluded that Vietnam is very powerful. The Vietnam War was won by North Vietnam, and there was a lot of moisture in it, which was not vietnam's real combat strength.
Behind the Vietnam War, he can win, two important factors, the United States did not let go of the fight, China and the Soviet Union strongly supported. These two elements put together, the Vietnamese are for the United States to survive, not to run away.
Let's compare it to World War II, when the United States sent out millions of troops, bombed large groups of aircraft, dropped atomic bombs, mobilized the whole country, basically no anti-war, completely free hands and feet. If you fight according to this force, north Vietnam is finished.
And The Chinese and Soviet Union, in turn, provided weapons and materials to North Vietnam, provided training, and provided international pressure, rice and white-faced guns and ammunition are readily available, and then given when they are scrapped, these things are used until we fight in the past, and what is, this battle is actually Vietnam is just out of people, and everyone can come out. With such a strong support, you send a group of monkeys to fight back and forth several times.
Without the support of China and the Soviet Union, the combat effectiveness of North Vietnam fell by at least 80%. If the United States let go of its hands and feet, North Vietnam's combat effectiveness would have to decline.
In the subsequent counterattack, Vietnam lost foreign aid and was gradually defeated. At that time, our economy was the worst, and the army was very weak. And there was no use of air power, missiles and so on. In such a conflict-level war, Vietnam's defeat is called a miserable one. This is the truest combat effectiveness of Vietnam, compared to fighting with the United States, it has been greatly discounted.
After losing Sino-Soviet aid, Vietnam can at most move with Cambodia and Thailand, and after all foreign aid is lost, Vietnam has kept a lot of low profile.
At that time of the counterattack war, we were suffering some losses, but these light infantry were fighting, and our army was a bit weak at that time, the investment was small, the planes were not on, the missiles were not hit, the combat experience was also small, and those people in Vietnam had combat experience, and they experienced some disciplinary factors in the early stage, and the losses were large. This does not mean that Vietnam is superb, it can only be said that we have not played a real advantage, we are fighting, Vietnam can not fight.
Vietnam is an agricultural country with no military industry. His planes, tanks, and cannons were all imported, and his ability to produce his own guns and ammunition was also very poor. At that time, Vietnam had Sino-Soviet assistance, and the tanks, aircraft and cannons in his hands were relatively advanced at that time, but now, he is still those weapons, and now he is still training in T34.
Moreover, it is The country of Vietnam, the ability to produce its own weapons, you just let Vietnam buy, he is very difficult, poor not to say, the major countries now no one wants to win him over. At that time, it was all given away in vain, and now let him buy it, don't think about it, there is no money.
Just this, you make him have combat effectiveness? Don't think about it. When the fight starts, the plane flies a few times, the missiles go out a few rounds, and the combat effectiveness of his army is gone, so you don't think about letting these people fight bayonets, and don't think that they are out of the blue and not fighting guerrillas.
In ancient times, he could resist us, but it was nothing more than the high mountains and long roads, plus people were a little fierce. At that time, we people passed, we couldn't open it, the water and soil were not satisfied, and a lot of people died when they made a little plague. Now, relying on the development of the times, Vietnam's advantages are gone. As for the combat effectiveness, just think about it, Vietnam has nothing to blow.
