Two Vietnamese soldiers attacked the People's Liberation Army and were killed on the spot, and the little soldier suddenly cried after checking the body

In the years before 1979, China had been "enduring the harassment" from Vietnam, remembering the old feelings, and the Chinese side also hoped that Vietnam would "turn back to the shore" as soon as possible.

At the time of the first battle, the Chinese army was like a bamboo, and soon the Vietnamese army was defeated, but on the way back to Korea, some Vietnamese troops and militia launched a sneak attack.

The Motherland is ahead

The war was a test for the soldiers of both countries, and many of the PLA soldiers who participated in the counterattack against Vietnam were new recruits who had not experienced artillery fire.

Fortunately, under the leadership of some revolutionary veterans, everyone quickly became familiar with the battlefield and followed the clarion call of attack to achieve victory.

In February 1979, not long after Hu Jinliang joined the army, he also suddenly received an order to go to the front, ignorant of the cruelty of war.

Fortunately, the army is becoming more and more courageous, which also makes Hu Jinliang, who has just entered the battlefield, adapt, he often rushes to the front line of the team, even if he encounters accidents, he is worthy of the motherland and the people.

In the early spring morning, the Chinese army had already attacked the northern gate of Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, and the two sides of the war were in a completely different mood.

The people in Hanoi were panicked, and many people shouted in terror, and even the common people knew that if the Chinese army continued to attack, the capital would be handed over to them.

The rich and powerful residents have long since dragged their families and chosen to leave, leaving behind a city destined to change hands, and many Vietnamese residents have no way to retreat, they can only quietly wait for the "judgment" from China, and years of war have taught them that anyone will pay for the actions of the rulers.

Unexpectedly, everyone waited for a result that had never been encountered before: the Chinese army chose to withdraw its troops under the condition of completely occupying the initiative in the war, and planned to complete the retreat within two weeks.

Hu Jinliang also received the order to retreat, and like many comrades-in-arms, they did not understand the international game, but only asked each other with some puzzlement: "Why do our superiors ask us to retreat when we see that complete victory is in front of us?"

The squad leader only replied: "I don't really want to fight Vietnam, I just want to teach them a lesson." ”

Hu Jinliang nodded suspiciously, and could only embark on the way home.

Unexpectedly, the real challenge began at this time.

Vietnam is "backed" by the Soviet Union, and when it provoked China in the past, it did not expect the punishment to come so quickly, and the Le Duan clique did not want to admit that Vietnam was defeated like this, and they had to deal with the United States for many years before they tasted the long-lost victory, and now it seems a little reluctant for them to admit defeat within a month.

Moreover, the authorities are well aware that China is not doing its best, and there are still many small groups of armed forces and militias that will attack and harass China's withdrawn troops, and the Vietnamese top has always taken a tacit attitude.

The Chinese army is also well aware of the possible risks, and has arranged for special troops to clear small groups of armed forces that may be present along the way, a task full of unknowns and requiring soldiers to remain calm and courageous.

The 50th Regiment of the 448th Army encountered serious problems when retreating, and the divisional leadership made a wrong decision: to march on an unconventional path and try to flank and annihilate the enemy.

Soon, Hu Qingzhong, deputy commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 448th Regiment, died in an ambush, and the deputy political commissar of the regiment did not have a firm grasp of the troops, resulting in the troops falling into a difficult situation.

The division headquarters sent the 1st and 8th companies to the rescue, but they didn't expect it to be a sheep.

During this period, there were also many heroes and heroes, who were destined to go down in history.

For example, Xiao Jiaxi, he and more than 10 comrades-in-arms were scattered by the Vietnamese army on the way to reinforcements, he entered the depths of the woods from the ravine alone, escaped the pursuit of the Vietnamese army and the militia, but his thigh was pierced by a bullet, but he still endured severe pain and remained motionless I escaped the enemy's countless searches, and returned to the motherland by relying on the Big Dipper, and was awarded the honorary title of "Iron Warrior".

The same is true of Wang Xin, deputy commander of the 8th Company, who led a platoon of soldiers to charge after solemnly swearing to the motherland, and after being surrounded by regiments, he decisively pulled the grenade on his body and died with the enemy.

When he heard that some fraternal troops had been dug up and "eaten" by the enemy who had been ambushed, Hu Jinliang's heart was like a knife, and he also reminded himself at all times: We must be vigilant at all times, and we must not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it.

However, he underestimated the ferocity of Vietnam.

Vietnam, where all the people are soldiers, is extremely terrifying

At that time, the whole country of Vietnam was enveloped in an atmosphere of war, and it seemed that the common people had long forgotten what peace was.

The Vietnamese militia's "Self-Defense Forces" have the largest battalion size, but the past war with the United States has made these militias extremely combative, and they are not much different from the regular army.

More and more peasants put down their hoes and went to the battlefield, and later, even women and children took up their guns.

Some Vietnamese women have also undergone strict militarization training, and they are very good at camouflage, they look very weak, but they do not seem to be afraid of death, coupled with the hot and humid climate makes their clothes relatively thin, the US military has been planted in the past.

A female soldier named Mei Lan successfully lured a group of American scouts into the guerrilla ambush circle, and more than half of the American soldiers were killed and wounded.

Unlike the U.S. military, the Chinese military has strict discipline: it cannot shoot at ordinary people.

The Vietnamese militia, who were good at camouflage, took advantage of the discipline of the Chinese army to deal with China in turn, and some female soldiers would hide explosives in canisters for carrying water, and some would hide guns in their clothes. ”

Considering this problem, the higher authorities decisively gave an order: not to let Vietnamese civilians approach the troops.

On the way to retreat, Hu Jinliang encountered such an incident, when the troops were marching, two Vietnamese suddenly shot from the bunker on the side, Hu Jinliang immediately reacted and hit in the direction of the attacker.

Soon, one person was killed on the spot, and the other ran away.

Fortunately, a young soldier was quick to pick up his gun and chased after him, knocking down the opponent with one shot.

When Hu Jinliang and the others stepped forward to check, they found that under the straw hat was the body of a young girl, and the continuous gushing blood had already indicated that she would not survive.

Seeing this scene, the young Hu Jinliang burst into tears, he was used to seeing the corpses of countless Vietnamese soldiers in the past when he was attacking and fighting, but this woman looked like a farmer, and there was a layer of calluses on her hands, which looked like they were left by doing farm work.

Hu Jinliang's mind was a little "confused", chasing them for so long, it turned out to be a woman who seemed to be powerless.

It was still the comrades-in-arms around him who reminded him: "Xiaohu, being too kind on the battlefield will only harm yourself, didn't you hesitate when you saw them shoot just now?"

Hearing this, Hu Jinliang quickly nodded, he also knew at that time: only when he returned to his own country, everything was what he remembered.

In fact, in addition to training women to be soldiers, Vietnam will not let even children go.

Some of the younger children are also trained to "play and play" along the PLA's retreat and then inadvertently throw grenades.

On February 16, there was such an incident: when the PLA soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, suddenly a girl appeared on the back hillside, and several soldiers saw that she didn't take it seriously, but they didn't expect the girl to suddenly throw out a grenade.

The scenes of retreat have always stayed in Hu Jinliang's mind, and he can't figure out that question.

After the end of the war, more and more old photos were circulated, and the world would know more about Vietnam at that time.

For example, mothers will personally take their sons to the recruiting office for medical examinations and send their children to the front lines to fight; female soldiers can skillfully drive jeeps and pull a large cart of men to the battlefield; regular troops and militia get together to chat, including old people and children.

Anything that seemed very magical could be very "normal" in Vietnam at that time.

The United States has also summed up the reasons for its defeat: in addition to the terrain and the support of China and the Soviet Union, the Vietnamese are extremely tough and good at fighting, if the timeline is opened, Vietnam has been fighting uninterrupted since the beginning of the War of Resistance against Japan, with decades of combat experience, where children are born in the environment of war, fighting is a part of their lives, and they can all take up arms to fight.

It is precisely for this reason that the kind Chinese soldiers suffered some undeserved losses, and they won the victory, but there was no way to return home to reunite with their families.

In any case, the biggest victims of war are still ordinary people.

Obviously, it has such a strong mobilization ability, but the Le Duan clique actually put these efforts on the war, vainly hoping to achieve "one step to the sky" through aggression, and never thought of developing the economy well, which also completely made Vietnam fall into a situation from which there is no return, and they also sent the people who should have lived a happy life to a point of no return.

The fact that Vietnam's path to innovation was many years late in a state of general peace and development in the world, and that the country's reputation became less and less popular once it left the war.
