Stories of the Chinese Vietnam War

 The war between China and Vietnam took place on February 17, 1979 and ended on the 18th of next month. It's a bit of a war for a war. The first thing to understand is that China and Vietnam don't get along so well. In particular, Vietnam has long hated Chinese who come to China and Vietnam to withdraw money when they are bored. (That's what they're all about.) The spirit of the game? Please say Jokara. The most petty person in the world was the Chinese, and then the French.) On the other hand, China used to take Vietnam very seriously, and during the Vietnam War, the Chinese were still doing business. Anyway, when the Soviet Union, which had a bad relationship with China during the Vietnam War, backed Vietnam, China also backed Vietnam, saying it couldn't lose. (This small- and medium-sized antagonism makes North Korea engage in tug-of-war diplomacy.) From roughly the 1970s, North Korea has been going back and forth between China and the Soviet Union in a very subtle way. Then the Soviet Union dumps them and China treats them like dogs. Well, it's North Korea that's a shame, but it's clear that Vietnam would rather bite its tongue than choose a pro-Society, pro-Beijing one. In 1975, Vietnam's relations with China cooled down, and China defeated the powerful U.S., and Vietnam was caught in the eye, leading to an inevitable situation. For the Chinese, they thought that they would only be obedient if they stepped on them and showed themselves.And this is when Pol Pot's Cambodia starts to creep up on China and this gets on Vietnam's nerves.For Vietnam, Cambodia was not happy with China's support, and historically Cambodia and Vietnam were countries with their own feelings. On top of that, the overseas Chinese who were believed to still remain in Vietnam to do business and send money to China touched Vietnam's nerves. What happened soon is simple. The relationship between Vietnam and Cambodia has become strained, and Vietnam has finally managed Cambodia. And Vietnam puts pressure on the overseas Chinese of its own country. This leads to a war of nerves between Vietnam and China.Soon on the air, there was a flood of slander from the two countries and small armed conflicts began at the border.As we enter into 1979, soon both sides build up their troops on the border and finally on February 17, 1979, the Chinese invade Vietnam. The war was not announced publicly, but it became known that American satellites caught fighting on both sides of the border. Soon China will announce externally that this war is a punishment for Vietnam and not a war for territorial gain (remember this part). The real China has done an amazing job of defending this.) China mobilizes about 60,000 troops to push back the mountains of the border and advance towards small towns within 30 kilometers of the Vietnamese border. Vietnam has a plan to stop the Chinese army near the border. Because the border is mountainous, but if you leave the border, the plain spreads out soon, and the plain is straight to Hanoi, the capital. It was a headache for Vietnam to fight the Chinese army, which was numerically superior on the plains. When the Chinese attack, Vietnamese troops fight fiercely, and if they think they can't, they fall back and force the Chinese to sacrifice themselves.By the end of February, the Chinese army had lost about 2,000 troops and 40 armored vehicles, but only about 800 Vietnamese troops had been lost. For Vietnamese troops who have already fought with U.S. troops (100,000 soldiers combined with regular soldiers), they had no experience in fighting and would have been a strange opponent of the Chinese army, which was pushed by numbers unconditionally. In particular, the Vietnamese army overwhelmed the Chinese army in terms of mobility by operating a large number of captured U.S.-made vehicles and armored vehicles (M113). I mean, it was useful to hit and run. One interesting thing about this war is that the war was limited in combat, limited in manoeuvre, limited in operation, and the Vietnamese used Soviet-backed new anti-tank missiles to blow up about 10 Chinese armored vehicles. In the ground war, China was unexpectedly trying to adjust the speed of its advance and threatened only about 30 kilometers from the border. Vietnam also fought accordingly. Perhaps for this reason, China and Vietnam are very reluctant to engage in air force fighters. If you do something wrong, the whole country is likely to expand. So China mobilized less than 100 aircraft and Vietnam used 30 aircraft and only used limited ground support. Here... China's air power was nothing for Vietnam, which had already blocked the U.S. air power with its bare body. We've shot down about 15 cars. (Vietnam's losses are about five) The battle gets even more intense, and by March, China will be at the peak of pushing numbers. (At the time, about 200,000 troops were mobilized at the border alone.) Vietnam, meanwhile, kept bothering the Chinese army to fight and retreat. At this point, the Soviet Union will pick. If China continues to do so, they will send volunteer troops to Vietnam. Now it's China that's getting into trouble. It seemed quiet, but suddenly the Soviet Union broke up. In the end, China reached the 30km border Declare the troops and withdraw the troops since the punishment ended as they did well in the beginning of the war. The damage from the war is estimated to have been China's loss of 5,000 and Vietnam's loss of less than 4,000 (of course the official announcement is 10,000 units) The problem is that the casualties were also casualties, but China's face was badly damaged.There was criticism that the army proved backward again, that the commanders were old and unfit for modern warfare, and that the soldiers were educated and unprepared for combat. (In fact, one of the causes of this problem is China's Great Antipedic, Cultural Revolution. In short, Vietnamese soldiers used AK rifles (type 56 machine guns) that they supported as much as they could during the revolution, but they had about two units per squad. The rest were all semi-automatic SKS (56 type rifles). This is why China was not superior to the Vietnamese in the infantry battle, which was the mainstay of the mountain war. I add a correction. After this Chinese versus Vietnam War, the Chinese army is awakened. It is the military's modernization, and from this point on, Jjangkae's weapons show modernization. I'm going to copy and develop everything. There was a country like France that spread its crotch.)Vietnam has re-established itself in the region. But after the 1980s, things got worse and worse in the Soviet Union, but somehow I managed to survive. There's been a few minor clashes at the border between the two countries, but they haven't been expanded. Since Vietnam stepped out of Cambodia, the relationship between the two countries has not been so fierce so far. But obviously Vietnam still hates China and China doesn't treat Vietnam. P.S. Among the criticisms that came out of the Chinese army after the war, there was this criticism of commanding ability. High-level commanders led the battle, lying on the backs of young soldiers. p.s: The Chinese standard weapons at the time were the Type 56 Rifle (SKS) and Type 56 Machine Gun (AK), both imported from the Soviet Union and localized, and exported a lot. The Chinese think that most soldiers are armed with type 56 rifles, which are easy to handle, and that some soldiers use type 56 machine guns like supporting firearms. Approximately two or three machine guns per squad were included. The problem is that the Type 56 machine gun was rated more suitable for combat by a volunteer soldier (about 50,000 people) who went to Vietnam, which flew during the Cultural Revolution. The Cultural Revolution required the Chinese army to follow the spirit of the long journey and take a step forward, so the Chinese army quickly developed and tested a Type 63 rifle (improved SKS). However, the 63 rifles had an unusual ability, and eventually the Chinese decided to use the 56- rifles again. And in this state, they entered the Chinese versus Vietnam War. To the Vietnamese military, who thoroughly understood how important the firepower of automators was throughout the war. During the Vietnam War, American soldiers who carried the M16 were not the only ones wasting ammunition. The result is that the Chinese were bitter in battle, so the Type 56 rifles were only found in the weapons depot of the Chinese for the honor guard and the second-class troops. Of course, it's shown in the United States and in the African Civil War without money.
