In the 1950s, with the end of World War II, NATO, led by the United States, and the Warsaw Pact led by the Soviet Union began to oppose each other, and the Cold War officially broke out. At that time, there was often some friction between the two alliances, and there were several major wars, and the Vietnam War was one of them.
At that time, Vietnam was divided into "North Vietnam" and "South Vietnam", north Vietnam was the Republic of Vietnam established after the success of the Vietnamese people's resistance to the government, and the former vietnamese government of South Vietnam was fleeing to southern Vietnam and relied on the support of the United States to re-establish the government.
Because of the instigation of the United States, South Vietnam on the grounds of "reunification" began to war more and more against the North of the Warsaw Pact Alliance, and in order to prevent the Americans from hitting the Chinese border and posing a threat to the mainland, plus the mainland was on the side of the Soviet Union at that time, Chairman Mao ordered troops to reinforce North Vietnam, and the Vietnam War broke out. At that time, most of the troops of our army were transferred from HuaYe, and in the face of the tropical climate of Vietnam, they often had rashes, and they had to fight in this environment, which can be said to be very difficult.
With the vietnam war, our army assisted the North Vietnamese to slowly suppress the attack of the South Vietnamese army, but when the troops arrived at the Lao Shan battlefield, because there was no hidden fortification, our army built an underground fortification by itself, and named it "Cat Ear Hole".
This hole is very small, but there are often three or four people living inside, they have to stay in it all day when they are hidden, many warriors live in such an environment for a long time, not only will they have a lot of eczema, but also suffer a lot of psychological suffering, and all the fighters will have the idea of going out to attack.
At that time, there were cases of soldiers leaving the army on the battlefield. At that time, our artillery brigade was stationed near Laoshan, and had not advanced for several days, and many soldiers had to stay in this damp and narrow cat ear hole all day long, when one soldier took advantage of the company commander's inattention and stole his pistol and left the team. Probably because the soldier had been trained by the company commander because of emotional instability before, the idea of leaving the team came to mind.
When the soldier's departure was known to the brigade commander of the artillery brigade, he immediately ordered his company to find the soldier, so the company commander led his company to start searching around the garrison. Many of the warriors, in their search, thought that he must have crossed the line of defense with a gun, because it was impossible for him to become a deserter with his personality. After a day of investigation, the soldier was stopped by troops at the mountain pass.
The soldier with a gun and bullets wanted to fight on the front line, but while passing through the Old Mountain Pass, the patrolling warriors found him, took him to the camp, gave him some food, and asked him to change his clothes, after which the soldier was sent back to the original unit.
When questioned by the chief, he expressed his thoughts, at that time he was in order to be able to go to the battlefield early and fight for the country, but he did not consider the discipline of the troops, but only acted according to his own will, and in the end he was severely punished.
In this way, this "deserter" was discovered by our army in less than a day. Through this incident, the chiefs discovered the problems of the soldiers. In such a humid environment, it is inevitable that psychological problems will occur when soldiers stay in the cat ear hole all day, so all units should strengthen the psychological education of soldiers and usually carry out more educational activities. Because combat concealment is something that troops must experience, it is very important to adjust the mood of soldiers in a timely manner.
Although the "desertion" incident has come to an end, the impact of this incident on the troops of our army is very huge. Because after this incident, the Vietnam War Command ordered that the investigation of various passes such as yamaguchi should be strengthened to prevent such incidents from occurring again.
But once in order to channel the mood of the soldiers, the central government sent a cultural and labor corps to enhance the morale of the troops, who knew that when passing through a pass, because they were not familiar with the regulations of the troops, they directly passed the checkpoint, and the guards directly fired their guns to ask for a stop, and then the head of the unit personally apologized to solve the matter.
In the Vietnam War, our army dispatched about 200,000 troops, and also supported a large amount of equipment to the Republic of Vietnam, which greatly helped the government of the Republic of Vietnam. After the soldiers of our army arrived in Vietnam, in the face of such a humid environment, it was inevitable that there would be some discomfort, but the vast majority of fighters persevered, although a small number of fighters could not stand the environment at that time, chose to go directly to the front line, alone to kill the enemy. But this is against military rules and will eventually be punished accordingly.
