In 1979, conflicts broke out between China and Vietnam on the borders of Yunnan and Guangxi. During this period, the People's Liberation Army invaded northern Vietnam and strategically damaged some facilities and factories in Vietnam. In addition to bringing a period of silence to the border, it also severely affected Vietnam. The follow-up development, then this offensive battle lasted only 28 days, why did Vietnam leave such a huge loss, more than 40 years have passed, so that it has not fully recovered to this day.
Vietnam has a deep intersection with us in history. In modern times, it has suffered the same fate as us. The failure of the French War made Vietnam a colony of the French. Since then, Vietnam has lost its status as a sovereign state until the second After the Second World War, with the rise of the first colonial independence movement, the Vietnamese people also began to resist the French colonial army.
Vietnam after World War II is considered to be divided into two parts: North and South. At that time, North Vietnam was the main force against the Western forces. With the support of China, the Soviet Union and other socialist camp countries, the Vietnamese people finally defeated France after more than 20 years of war. The US aggressors have achieved national unity. However, after the reunification of Vietnam, the ambitions of the region have expanded rapidly, and with the support of the Soviet Union, it has engaged in hostilities with neighboring countries. During this period, border conflicts broke out with us in 1979.
After a long border confrontation, finally in February 1979, the country issued an order to counterattack Vietnam to defend its territorial integrity. Tens of thousands of the People’s Liberation Army launched an offensive under the command of General Xu Shiyou. After 28 days of fierce fighting, the border assembly was completely defeated. The Vietnamese army and advanced to the capital near Hanoi. After that, in order to avoid further expansion of the situation, the People's Liberation Army withdrew to the country. This 28-day offensive dealt a huge blow to Vietnam. Now more than 40 years have passed, and the scars left by this offensive battle to Vietnam are faintly visible.
First, during the Vietnam War , North Vietnam mainly received military materials provided by my country and the Soviet Union. Therefore, a large number of materials and factories were concentrated in the northern part of Vietnam, which is relatively close to my country, which is convenient for receiving aid materials. It was a soldier in 1979. After entering Vietnam and seeing these Chinese aid materials, they brought some of them back to the country and destroyed all the rest, which directly led to the decline of the Vietnamese army in the future.
At the same time, the People’s Liberation Army demolished and destroyed all railways, highways, bridges, etc. along the way to avoid the Vietnamese army’s counterattack when retreating. This caused the economy of northern Vietnam to stagnate for a while, and the south after the war was unable to recover quickly. Therefore, the Vietnamese economy suffered The impact has not been completely eliminated until today.
Vietnam is a traditional agricultural country. The destruction of factories and transportation systems in the north has caused the Vietnamese government to abandon its intention to build the north into the national economic center, and instead seek stability and development in the south. At the same time, Vietnam has also begun to move towards the west. The country moved closer and barely recovered a certain economy by exporting tropical crops. However, the trauma of the war is not only reflected in the economic damage, but also in the loss of population. At this time, Vietnam, which has been in war for many years, began to encourage childbirth on a large scale, and the rapidly increasing population put pressure on the economy. The country had to restore the war damage in the north. The regional funds are used for national support. A small country lacking industrial support will naturally fall into a cycle of poverty.
