The road to revolution has never been smooth sailing. After the founding of China, it fought hard for decades to liberate the people of the whole country, during which wars, large and small, made countless revolutionary martyrs give their lives.
However, no matter how big the sacrifice, the people of China have never been afraid. As long as national liberation and independence are finally won, there are always people who are willing to go through fire and water. Such a nation would never want others to fish.
Eliminate the threat and send troops six times.
The founding of New China proclaimed the rebirth of this ancient and great country. When faced with the invasion of external forces again, we will not choose to submit to humiliation like old China, and we will no longer be powerless to resist. After the founding of New China, China sent troops to foreign countries seven times in order to eliminate external threats.
Among them, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is a well-known war to defend our country. So when did China send troops six times besides the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea? For what reason?
Assistance to Southeast Asian countries
The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is a war that we know quite well, but this is not the first time that the PLA has gone abroad to fight. June 65438 +0950+10/October 65438, France attempted to reoccupy the former colony of Vietnam. At the request of the North Vietnamese government for assistance, China sent three divisions and a military advisory group composed of more than 300 officers to help Vietnam resist France, helped the Vietnamese army win the war against France, established a powerful army and supported many weapons.
In the Vietnam War that began from 65438 to 0955, we helped Vietnam and Laos resist American aggression. This is our experience of sending troops to help Southeast Asian countries three times, which shows our determination to resist invaders and eliminate potential threats outside China.
A war to defend the border security of the motherland
Besides three wars to help Southeast Asian countries resist aggression, we also fought three wars to defend the border security of New China. The first time was 1960 China-Myanmar joint operation. In order to eliminate the remnants of counter-revolutionary armed forces entrenched in Myanmar, after reaching an agreement with the Myanmar government, it entered Myanmar twice and finally defended the border security.
The second time was 1962 in self-defense against India. Our PLA bravely defended the border territory of the motherland and took the initiative to retreat after defeating the Indian army, without further expanding the scale of the war.
The last time was 1979, the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. With our help, Vietnam won the anti-French war and the anti-American war, and then its ambition began to expand, trying to harass and invade our border.
For such a "baiwenhang", we will naturally not be soft. We immediately sent100000 troops into northern Vietnam, which taught them a painful lesson and made Vietnam understand that China would not tolerate any aggression.

China is not a country keen on war. Judging from the experience of sending troops since the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of our military actions are aimed at resisting aggression, safeguarding the security of the country and the surrounding environment, and enabling China, which has experienced a hundred years of war, to develop in a stable environment. China welcomes all countries willing to cooperate with us on an equal footing.
