The process of self-defense counterattack in China-Vietnam border is detailed.

Sino-Vietnamese border self-defense counterattack

1979 From February to March, the border guards of the China People's Liberation Army fought back in self-defense against Vietnamese troops who provoked and invaded the Sino-Vietnamese border.

China and Vietnam are linked by mountains and rivers, and good-neighborly friendship goes back to ancient times.

The people of China gave great selfless assistance to the Vietnamese people in their war of resisting France and saving the nation, and made great sacrifices for the Vietnamese people in their struggle for independence and liberation. In the mid-1970s, after Vietnam ended its war of resistance against the United States and achieved national reunification, it regarded China as the "number one enemy", and Sino-Vietnamese relations deteriorated sharply, which seriously threatened the peace and stability in the border areas of China and the safety of people's lives and property. In this case, from February 1979 17, the border guards of the China People's Liberation Army began a limited self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in Guangxi and Yunnan. On March 5th, the China government issued a statement that the expected purpose of self-defense counterattack had been achieved. From that day on, Chinese border guards began to withdraw. By March, 2006 16, all Chinese border guards had withdrawn to China.

1979 punishing the Vietnam war

1978165438+1At the end of October, the participating troops in Guangzhou, Kunming and Chengdu completed all operational preparations. On February 8, 65438, the Central Military Commission issued a strategic deployment order. 65438+February 65438+March 3, the marching order was issued. By the end of 65438+February, 225,000 people from 9 armies of the China Army had assembled on the border between Guangxi and Yunnan.

Deployment of our army's campaign: The 4th1Army, 42nd Army, 43rd Army, 54th Army, 55th Army and 50th Army (under the149th Division) are the Eastern Army, under the command of Xu, attacking from Guangxi; With the 50 th Army 1 1 Army, 13 Army, 14 Army and 149 Division as the Western Corps, Yang Dezhi commanded and attacked from Yunnan. My campaign determination: limited time, limited depth, concentration of superior forces, circuitous encirclement, quick decision, body count and quick return.

On the morning of February 1979, 17, the Vietnamese army attacked six provinces1/counties in Vietnam with nine armies from Guangxi and Yunnan. Some fighters of the Air Force took off to patrol our border, and some warships of the Navy entered the Beibu Gulf to defend the oil platform.

First, the eastern front.

Our eastern line is the first military region of the Vietnamese army, with 9 brigades/regiments deployed 1 1 division. In a two-wire configuration. The first line is the vast areas of Gaoping, lang son and Guangning provinces, where six divisions and six regiments are deployed. Among them, 325B Division is located in Xian 'an area, 338 Division is located in Taiping area of Li Ting County, 3 Division and 473 Division are located in lang son area, 304 Division is located in Beishan area, 346 Division is located in Gaoping area, 43 Regiment in Guangning Province is located in Mangjie area, 244 Regiment is located in Hehui county, 576 Regiment is located in Chaling area, 49 Regiment is located in Baole area, and each border county has an independent camp. The second line is Hebei Province and North Pacific Province, where 5 divisions and 3 brigades/regiments are deployed. Among them, 3 12 Division is located in Taiyuan, 43 1 Division is located in Cishan, 327 Division is located in Dong Chao, 329 Division is located in Hongji, and 242 Island Guard Division is located in Jinpu. Hebei province 196 regiment is located in liangjiang area, 38 brigade is located in dongmu area, and 98 regiment is located in land area. In addition, there are 27 police stations along the Vietnam-Vietnam border, including 6 in Qinzhou, 8 in Nanning 13 and Baise. There are dozens of small people and hundreds of big people in the police station, which has jurisdiction over 1-4 mobile class, reconnaissance group, mass working group and logistics group. Vietnam's first army strategic reserve, the second army in Hanoi.

The first step of the Eastern Front battle was concentrated in the Guangdong 346 Division in Gaoping area and three divisions in lang son and Deng Tong. The 346th Division, also known as "Gaobei Division", is stationed in Gaoping South Army, and has jurisdiction over 246 infantry regiments, 677 regiments, 85 1 regiments and artillery 188 regiments. Among them, the 246 regiment is the main force of the division, also known as the "trendy regiment", which was established during the Anti-French War. At that time, it was the main regiment directly under the General Staff of the Vietnamese Army. He once served as the Central Guard of Vietnam, participated in the border battle and the battle of Highway 9, and was good at sports attack and defensive operations. Yue Third Division, also known as "Golden Star Division", is located in lang son and its south, and has two regiments, 12, 14 1, and 68 artillery regiments. The division was originally located in the south, and was transferred to the land-shore area with difficult land in June 1976, belonging to the first military region. Before the war, it was transferred there, and the division was 1466.

Our Eastern Corps is organized into four regiments: North Regiment, South Regiment, East Regiment and Mobile Regiment. In February, 1979, 17 and 14 entered Vietnam. Three hours later, the Northern Regiment broke through Mo Long, wiped out the enemy's independent camp and headed for Tongnong. The reinforcements fought fiercely with the enemy in the direction of tea spirit, and they were deadlocked. Nanqun broke through the layout obstacles and annihilated the enemy's independent camp. The 43rd Army Tank Regiment entered Dongxi for 3 hours (1 1: 00), the 378th Regiment of the 42nd Army126th Division was killed at 14: 48, and the18: 376th Regiment also joined the Tank Regiment to consolidate the defense of Dongxi. The bridge in the direction of Shuikou has been occupied, and the Luoma Bridge has been built. Dongfang Group breaks through the same board.

When our main propulsion unit approached Dongxi via Nagang River, the Vietnamese army opened the floodgate to store water in Dongshan District of Dongxi on the afternoon of 17, resulting in a submerged area with a length of 800 meters, a width of about 70 meters and a mud depth of about 1 meter, which was unexpected by Nantuan and the military region (this reflects that our army did not know enough about Vietnam. In fact, the troops are attacking while spying on the enemy. The military region urgently dispatched three companies and two militia battalions of the second engineering corps, and 700 migrant workers were urgently repaired. In addition, it was decided that the troops would cross Shuikou Bridge, Fuhe County, Songshan Mountain and Highway 4 to catch up with the infantry troops attacking on foot. But in fact, Shuikou combat troops did not lay down Fuhe county, and the main points of the interspersed route were still in the hands of the Vietnamese army. The troops originally serving as combat troops in this area could not continue to attack the above areas and points, and some troops were repelled by the Vietnamese army. The front of the military region decisively ordered 19 the mobile troops that arrived in Longzhou to join the fighting in Shuikou and Fuhe areas. Our mobile corps, with abundant physical strength and tenacious fighting style, marched in two columns and immediately attacked the surrounding points of Pingjiangqiao area. Qiao Zhou 84th Regiment 1 Battalion braved the enemy's gunfire and worked hard to build a pontoon bridge at the cost of more than 20 people. At this time, the troops stuck in the semi-Weng water barrier quickly moved into Gaopingcheng along Shuikou, Fuhe, Songshan and No.4 Highway, but temporarily changed the attack route and made twists and turns, wasting a day and night all the way.

During the storming of Highway 4 by the Mobile Corps, the troops paid a lot of unnecessary costs, especially the infantry troops on the tanks, which suffered a lot along the way. In order to prevent the infantry from being thrown out of the tank, some troops even fixed the soldiers on the tank with backpacks. As a result, when the troops were attacked, the infantry could not get off in time, and almost became a fish on the iron plate. Some soldiers were tied to the tanks, which was terrible. The author witnessed this tragic scene in the documentary inside the military region. The tank troops of our infantry were ambushed by enemy anti-tank mixed forces at a mountain pass and met in a narrow way. The first car was destroyed, followed by the second tank, one after another. Four soldiers who died in a destroyed tank on the roadside were still dying, with almost the same posture, and their bodies were tightly tied to the tank with backpacks.

The two troops interspersed in the Gaoping theater launched an extremely difficult push. "Garland under the Mountain" shows us the hardships very vividly. In fact, the interspersed troops suffered more losses. Originally scheduled to be interspersed in place for one day and night, the camps of Gaoping and the Vietnamese army were actually interspersed for four days and nights. During the period, in order to get in place on time, the army chief did not contact the military radio station all the time, so that commander Xu lost his temper and the whole army in informed criticism after the war. In fact, Commander Xu did not understand the fighting style of the troops in the Four Fields. In fact, even if he has contact with the military region, what support can the military region give them? Why didn't he carefully survey the terrain before the war and select the breakthrough area? Why didn't he think that the enemy might destroy the road and open the reservoir before the war? Why did he stick to the old road? Under the condition of closed layout, he stormed the heavily guarded nozzle of the enemy, instead of bypassing it, just like Yang Dezhi on the western front avoided the front of the old street and inserted it into the enemy's rear from both sides, although it took a long time. Why didn't you expect the enemy to plant a large number of mines on our circuitous roads and set fire to attack the elements? In fact, some interspersed troops were defeated by Vietnamese artillery. In short, fighting is a matter of course, old experience is used to set up a new situation, and the staff officers are aging and do not know each other.

On February 18, the Vietnamese army found that I was intervening in the army, and dispatched 346 regiments, 85/Kloc-0 regiments, 2 battalions, 3 battalions, 9 companies, 20 battalions acting as agents and a hail-type "anti-tank rocket launcher company" to occupy the highlands of Boshan 6565, 438+0, 526 and 490 south of Gaoping. 19, along the way, our southern regiment successively carried out battles such as minefield, bamboo stick array, artificial wall breaking, etc., broke through the layers of defense lines and annihilated the above-mentioned elite sniper troops. Among them, the captured Soviet-made hail anti-tank rockets of the Vietnamese army are still displayed in the Beijing Military Museum for people to visit.

On February 20, our southern regiment approached Gaoping City from the east and south, and the troops interspersed by the southern regiment were basically in place. Just as the infiltration attempt of the southern group was discovered by the Vietnamese army, the action of our northern group was also judged as infiltration detour by the commander of the Vietnam War Zone. Objectively speaking, the Vietnamese army has no less understanding of our traditional middle breakthrough and two-wing circuitous tactics than our army. Vietnam's 346th Division urgently transferred a company car, which seized the natural barrier and happiness, in an attempt to delay the rapid infiltration of our North Corps troops.

The rapid force of our Northern Regiment consists of Tank Regiment 1 Battalion and 2nd Battalion of 67th Regiment. Starting from Tongnong, heading for He 'an, going straight to the detention center, controlling the key points of the detention center, and forming a favorable situation of sharp knife breakthrough. The main force of the 67th Regiment followed up, and the main force of the 2nd Battalion encountered a company encounter with the Vietnamese army in Anle area on the same day. The battalion promptly asked for instructions and reported to the front military region, and Commander Xu ordered the annihilation. However, at that time, due to the poor communication and command system of the three armed forces and the lack of training of business personnel, it became an in-situ organizational defense. As a result, the sharp knife troops did not completely occupy Zhatun area in time.

The first annihilation target of our northern regiment crossed the 852 regiment and slipped out of the tight encirclement through the highway south of Koutun. At that time, due to inaccurate information, I thought the 852nd regiment was in Banzhuang. This unit was time-consuming and laborious. It crossed many mountains and was blocked by the enemy when it entered Tianfeng Daling. The road was destroyed and its progress was blocked. At this point, our northern regiment failed in its tactical attempt to detour to the west of Gaoping enemy, and Gaoping enemy could only be wiped out by the southern regiment. In front of the military area command, another mobile group, Longzhou Brigade, avoided the Vietnamese army from the west and attacked Gaoping City. At this time, the Banweng water barrier was repaired and drained by our engineers and militia, and it was finally accessible after 3 1 hour. Before and after the transportation tends to be normal, and the logistics supply is unblocked again.

On February 24, Longzhou Brigade and Nantuan prepared to attack Gaoping in the east, west and south. Under the unified command of Wu Zhong, deputy commander of the military region, they fought fiercely for seven hours before and after, and occupied Gaoping provincial capital at 0: 25 on the 25th. However, the annihilated enemy was only a cover force, and the whereabouts of the 346th Division in Vietnam were unknown. On the 25th, the former leader ordered to clear all sections, and the North-South Regiment formed an iron arm to search and clear back and forth, while the Mobile Regiment searched and annihilated the 346th Division and the command post. From February 26th to early March, the 346th Division and local remnants were basically annihilated, but the command organ of the 346th Division was not found, so it is estimated that it has escaped from the encirclement.

17 From February to February 23rd, the Eastern Regiment cooperated to give full play to the firepower advantage of our artillery, and wiped out the local Vietnamese army, thus creating a precedent for the annihilation war on the Eastern Front. On February 27th, DongTuan strengthened some divisions and entered the periphery of lang son. At 7: 50, 10 minute artillery attack was carried out, and the infantry detachment was deployed at 8: 00. On the 29th, the periphery was cleared. March 1 9: 30, concentrate 300 guns and drop tens of thousands of bullets in 30 minutes. At that time, Xu was already red-eyed, and personally ordered that "Lang Er should not leave the house after the dawn attack began." In fact, Xu is not only red-eyed, but all the troops participating in the war on the Eastern Front have suffered a lot and been stained with blood. Their anger is so high that the orders are carried out to the letter.

The Vietnamese army reinforced the most elite 308th Division from Hanoi to launch a counterattack against lang son and used chemical weapons. On March 4th, the 308th Division was repelled by our army, and our army conquered lang son. South of Langer, Ma Pingchuan has no danger to defend. Since ancient Vietnam's rebellion, if China's army breaks lang son, the king of Vietnam will tie himself up and surrender.
