Ranked, I just had a drink with a veteran who fought in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam!
On the evening of the seventh day of the first lunar month, I went to a full moon wine party for a friend who had a second child.
I don't like the bustle, and when I saw a table of fewer people at the door, I sat next to a senior who was nearly sixty years old.
He is of medium stature, with good facial features, sharp edges, and dark skin.
After a few small talk with him, hearing that he was the accent of the Luoyang area, I asked him if he had come from Luoyang?
He said that his hometown is also in northern Henan, when he was young, he was a soldier who transferred to a factory in Luoyang, where he lived for nearly forty years, and my friend was the kind of kinship that did not turn around, and he returned to his hometown to visit relatives during the Spring Festival, and was invited to drink full moon wine.
Soldier professional? That year?
I, a military fan, was immediately intrigued.
"Jinan Military Region, 1984 soldier."
He replied firmly.
Soldiers in 1984? My heart instantly lit a "drill weather", and my heart was full of flowers:
Have you ever fought in a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam?
"We were on the old mountain in 1985!"
I quickly and respectfully got up, toasted the veteran with a glass of wine, and asked him to talk about the situation that year.
This is the closest I've come to a real war.
The veteran did not have the kind of understatement of the past like smoke, nor did he have the kind of grandeur and fierceness I imagined, but in a dignified and determined tone, he seriously said to me-
When the veterans went up, they were the defensive positions of the Nanjing Military Region, and at that time, the People's Liberation Army had completed the early tasks of recovering the national territory and pulling out points of combat, and instead held their positions and fought defensive battles against the enemy.
Veterans said that at that time, Vietnam's national strength and military strength were severely damaged in the 1979 self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, and after the heavy blows of the Two Mountains Round War in 1984, they were basically unable to launch operations of the scale of the group army or above.
As soon as the veterans and their companies went up, they drilled into the cat's ear holes that made forward observation posts, and the soldiers used high-powered telescopes every day and night to observe the movements of the Vietnamese army to prevent the Vietnamese sneak attack.
Once they spotted small groups of Vietnamese troops, a few of them, they would rush out and annihilate them.
If a large group of Vietnamese troops are found, they will directly call the artillery units in the rear, and the fire will cover ...
When the veteran said this, the iron-black face revealed a trace of triumph:
At that time, after more than thirty years of construction, China already had a military heavy industry that dominated the world, and the output of steel was not known how many times that of Vietnam, so their war was different from the Eighth Route Army of the Red Army at that time, and their units at the company level could call for artillery support at any time, fire coverage, and shell management.
At that time, the fatigue of Vietnam's national strength could be seen in the battle:
Film and television stills
On several occasions, after the bombs thrown by vietnamese soldiers sneaked in at night and exploded, there were several pieces of iron on the scene, and the workmanship was very simple.
Once, they captured a Vietnamese soldier and found several patches on the guy's military armor.
What makes the veterans most lament is that they have found a large number of Vietnamese female soldiers with guns in many encounters, and I heard that they are widows.
......
Although the firepower of the People's Liberation Army is superior, the cold guns and cold guns of the Vietnamese army still pose a certain threat to our army.
One of his Hubei comrades-in-arms walked out of the cat ear hole to breathe, and was killed by the Vietnamese sniper.
Decades have passed, and at this point, there is still some sadness in the eyes of the veterans.
In fact, in addition to the vietnamese raids, the humid and rainy climate in Yunnan and the swarms of large mosquitoes also brought great trouble to them living in narrow holes like cat ears.
At that time, their bodies were wet every day, and they were all rotten crotches.
However, the soldiers did not cower and complain, and there was a slogan at that time that was particularly angry:
"Bitter me one, happy one billion people!"
Moreover, the Chinese military and civilians are united as one, they are fighting bloody battles on the front line of Laoshan Mountain, all walks of life in the rear have sent condolences, there are many singing actors waiting for the front line condolence performance, and many stars on the wall calendar he has seen.
In the first half of 1986, after completing the defensive mission, they were rotated down the mountain, at that time, his ears were shocked by shells and he was almost deaf, and after many years of transfer to Luoyang, after treatment, he slowly recovered.
At this point, he was obviously a little excited in the rain of bullets and bullets through the past, and pulled out a cigarette.
I hurried to light him and change the subject:
Have you seen Ace Force?
"Watched, I haven't finished watching two episodes!"
He replied indifferently.
The drama seriously deviates from historical facts, implanting a large number of idol plots such as dog blood such as love triangles in the play, and this so-called epic military drama was angrily condemned by countless viewers and veterans as soon as it was broadcast.
I asked the veteran what he thought of the play, and he replied in only two words, with a local accent in Luoyang:
Letter Ball!
(Transliteration, what it means, I don't quite understand, but it is certainly not the meaning of praise)
