Around 1976, Vietnam completed reunification. Although Vietnam achieved independence as early as the 1950s. But for decades, Vietnam has been in a state of smoke: first with France, then with South Vietnam, and finally with the United States, the world's number one military power, for a full decade. This series of wars is really not something that Vietnam's national mass can consume. Therefore, after the realization of peace in Vietnam, an idea arose: that Is, Vietnam is the third in the world.
Vietnam's expansion means that Vietnam began to dream of expansion, so the relationship between China and Vietnam began to tense...
1. Ruan Qingyu's confidence
Nguyen Thanh Ngoc is the founding father of Vietnam. From Vietnam's War of Resistance against France to the subsequent annexation of Southern Vietnam, Nguyen Thanh Ngoc has been on the front line for decades, so Nguyen Thanh Ngoc is regarded by Vietnam as a famous general.
In 1979, a Vietnamese reporter asked Nguyen Thanh Ngoc: Now that the situation on the Sino-Vietnamese border is on the verge of breaking out, how does General Nguyen view this situation? And what is the prejudgment of the outcome of the war?
Nguyen Thanh Ngoc mocked the mainland as a mud-legged giant, while saying that if China dares to fight with Vietnam, then Vietnam promises to deal an unprecedented blow to China. Moreover, Ruan Qingyu said: The Chinese army has no combat record for more than 20 years. In the past few decades, the Vietnamese army has been constantly fighting foreign wars, and just because of its experience in the war, Vietnam has a full chance of victory.
2. The first battle was successful
After the outbreak of the Sino-Vietnamese border conflict, Lang Shan became the primary place of contention between China and Vietnam. For the Chinese side, as long as it takes Lang Shan, the Chinese side can take Hanoi with a single blow. Vietnam, on the other hand, is considering using the Lang Shan natural danger to deplete the effective strength of our army. Therefore, the two sides began to compete around Lang Shan.
And the horse is the front line of Langshan, and if we take this place, our troops can point directly at Langshan. Therefore, Ruan Qingyu has arranged elite troops in this area to obstruct our army, intending to make some maneuvers with our army.
Of course, we will not waste time and Nguyen Thanh's troops tossing and turning. We dispatched thousands of artillery pieces to bomb the front line of the Vietnamese army for more than ten minutes. The infantry then charged. Under the cover of artillery, the strength of the Vietnamese positions was long gone, and we quickly seized the Vietnamese positions. Shortly thereafter, our army pounced directly on the location of Nguyen Thanh Ngoc's headquarters: Gao Binh.
3. The end of Ruan Qingyu
At this time, Ruan Qingyu began to fight with trapped beasts. On the one hand, Nguyen Thanh Ngoc dispatched guerrilla troops to harass the direction of our infantry advance, and on the other hand, he obstructed the advance of our armored troops by destroying transportation.
Because in the previous Battle of Zhima, ruan Qingyu's most capable regiment had been almost wiped out by our artillery, and the rest of the troops really couldn't handle it. Therefore, Ruan Qingyu considered this next strategy. At this time, Ruan Qingyu was very worried that GaoPing would be captured by our army. Because if Gao Binh is lost, Nguyen Thanh Ngoc, the Vietnamese god of war, will also be broken.
However, many of Nguyen Thanh Nguyễn's guerrillas were wiped out by our infantry units, and as for destroying traffic to obstruct the advance of the armored troops, they only played a role in the short term - after the armored troops found traffic obstacles, the engineering troops would remove the obstacles at the first time.
In this way, the various units of our army came to the vicinity of Gaoping in an unstoppable manner and prepared to besiege Gaoping. Although Nguyen Thanh Nguyen
The news that Nguyen Thanh Ngoc lost Gao Binh and the ace troops were severely damaged by our army also brought a lot of negative effects to Nguyen Thanh Ngoc in Vietnam, so that Nguyen Thanh Nguyen Nguyen was really unable to gain a foothold in the Vietnamese military circles.
So the next year, Ruan Qingyu had to ask for retirement and returned to his hometown. After that, Ruan Qingyu spent it in plainness. However, Ruan Qingyu really couldn't understand: Why could his own troops withstand the US army, but not the Chinese army?
For Ruan Qingyu, the most regrettable thing is to fight with the Chinese side.
