When most people think of the Vietnam War, the first thing that comes to mind is the 1961 U.S. invasion of Vietnam. However, in the late seventies, China also participated in a high-profile self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. At that time, Vietnam's frequent provocations on the Sino-Vietnamese border threatened China's security, so China decided to take action to protect its national interests. The self-defense counterattack lasted only a month, and China quickly won the war, but the flames continued to burn for the next decade. It was not until ten years later that China and Vietnam formally ceased to fight, and the international community realized the formidable armed forces that Vietnam had at that time.
At first, Vietnam led by Ho Chi Minh maintained friendly relations with China and jointly resisted American aggression. However, after Le Duan took over as leader, his attitude changed abruptly, and he frequently provoked incidents on the Sino-Vietnamese border. Despite China's tolerance, Vietnam has gradually escalated its aggression and has had to take action to defend its national interests. At the end of 1978, Deng Xiaoping decided to use military means to protect national security. Subsequently, China demonstrated its military strength and quickly moved its forces to the Sino-Vietnamese border, and in February 1979, fighting broke out and the Chinese People's Liberation Army engaged the Vietnamese army fiercely, eventually pushing the front into Vietnam. Although the battle seemed easy, the Vietnamese army was very effective after a long period of actual combat with the United States, so the battle was not won easily.
The two thousand fighters that Vietnam had in its hands became a mystery. These fighters came mainly from aid from China, the Soviet Union and the United States. After the war, these aircraft became combat-ready in Vietnam, but why were they not put into battle? Perhaps Vietnam lacks pilots and cannot afford to maintain its aircraft, or even because they have not been maintained for a long time.
This war of self-defense and counterattack has learned profound lessons, and we cannot ignore the provocations of other countries on mainland soil. Since the end of the war, Sino-Vietnamese relations have gradually developed peacefully, and economic cooperation has been launched for the benefit of the two peoples.
