2012-07-25 — As Chinese leaders were deciding to punish Vietnam, Vietnam overran Cambodia. Deng visited the US to complete diplomatic normalization between the two countries, and while there told President Carter that China would launch a limited attack on Vietnam (Carter 1982:206). Deng’s visit to the US drew criticism from Soviet Russia on 08 February, including a warning against “overstepping the forbidden line” in Vietnam (Hsu 1983: 825). The warning went unheeded as PLA tanks crossed the Vietnamese border on 17 February with the purposed of “teaching Vietnam a lesson.” Early Chinese attacks met weak resistance as Vietnamese border
troops were largely inexperienced, and as the PLA took the village of Lao Cai, 25km inside Vietnam, it became apparent that the Chinese objective was the capture of the larger village of Lang Son.
On February 21, the advance resumed against Cao Bang in the far north and against the all-important regional hub of Lang Son. Chinese troops entered Cao Bang on February 27, but the city was not secured completely until March 2. Lang Son fell two days later. On March 5, the Chinese, saying Vietnam had been sufficiently chastised, announced that the campaign was over. Beijing declared its “lesson” finished and the PLA withdrawal was completed on March 16.
classic combat!! great china will never lose…
The VC were in Cambodia at that time so China PLA were attacking empty forest and empty villages. There is nothing to show off about except we know the Vietnam killed 200,000 PLA soldiers that why you packed and ran. Neo Nazi China must behave or you will be nukes to ashes like Japan if you dare to stir up WWIII.
Cut the crap. Vietnam was crushed.
In addition, who would nuke China? Whoever did would have initiated their last ever military campaign.
The resistance at first was weak because their are all citizens, trying to protect themself from those chinese killer. VN army was at the south, chasing for Polpot at this moment.
They just dont win battles. One major reason for Vietnam’s success in the Vietnam war was because North Vietnam was never allowed to be invaded. There was fear that it would draw Chinese forces into the war. Some people argued that North Vietnam would have won the war even without this favor from China. Either way, these terms or conditions on combat was helpful.
French is the invaders, do not you defend vietnam, we do not need French, because we do not want to escape from the tiger’s mouth into the mouth of the wolf
fuck you french people and our people defeated French troops till defecate in his pants
we also will beat china with our own strength, has proven france troops to defecate in his pants and, american green berret crying fright like a child , all because of the bravery of our people vietnam
There is no meaning and reason of teaching Vietnam a lesson. We understand that Chinese always want to attack Vietnam. This is not good
I guess pyro’s so called abstinence from trolling didnt last.
Are you feeling OK? I didn’t even make a post here,until now lol
dạy cho Việt nam một bài học ? đó chỉ là cái cớ chiến tranh của lãnh đạo Trung Quốc ,trong cuộc chiến chỉ để lại đau thương mất mát cho người dân hai dân tộc . nhân dân Việt Nam luôn yêu chuộng hòa bình , hãy chung sống như khi còn có thể gọi nhau là bạn .!
Người Việt Nam một ngày chưa chết hết thì vẫn còn quân vong ơn bội nghĩa.
