From 1950s to early 1970s, China and Viet Nam were comrades and brothers. The two countries are like a family, especially the people on the Sino-Vietnamese border.
In the villages on the Sino-Vietnamese border, Vietnamese and Vietnamese live together. In addition to the first time, the two ethnic groups also had the experience of intermarriage. It can be said that the people of the two countries were inseparable at that time. However, with the coming to power of Vietnam Du?n Group, all this went up in smoke.
In order to cling to the Soviet Union's thigh, Du?n Group, despite China's warning, joined forces with the Soviet Union and started all kinds of anti-China activities, such as armed aggression against China's border, such as smashing China stores in Vietnam, which made overseas Chinese afraid to return home and students afraid to study. Based on this situation, the China administration had no choice but to defend itself against Vietnam.
The counterattack against Vietnam lasted for nearly a month. Although our army won, it also paid the price of blood, especially those soldiers captured by the Vietnamese army, who were exhausted physically and mentally.
According to records, on March 65438+ 16, 979, the counterattack against Vietnam officially ended. In the following month or two, Vietnamese agents surnamed Xian still harassed the border between the two countries, which was also called "Laoshan Round War" in China.
During the war, not only the war, but also a few officers and men of our army went through hardships to return to the motherland, that is, the soldiers who were unfortunately captured by the Vietnamese army during the war. What happened to these soldiers after they returned home?
According to the data, during the one-month counter-offensive, our army captured 239 officers and men, including 202 in 448 regiments. However, when the prisoners were actually exchanged, the Vietnamese side only handed over 238 people. According to the Vietnamese side, the soldier who never returned died of illness during his detention.
On May 2 1979 and May 2 1, under the auspices of the International Scarlet Letter, China and Vietnam held a prisoner exchange ceremony at Friendship Pass. Besides officials from China and Viet Nam, a large number of foreign journalists also arrived. China is basically a western country, while Viet Nam is just a Soviet journalist.
The prisoner exchange ceremony is very simple. The two sides counted the personnel and then signed the record book. According to the veterans who participated in this mission, people from Vietnam came and went quickly, without saying a word of nonsense, and looked very angry.
After the prisoner exchange ceremony, those prisoners who went through all kinds of hardships were arranged to receive freshman education and examination at a base in the Guangzhou Military Region, and they were interrogated one by one.
The purpose of this is to cross-check whether there was any defection during the capture. If there is, it will be dealt with according to military law, and if there is no, it will be dealt with according to the classification. After two years of examination, it was finally found that one person had seriously defected.
Later, he was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment by a military court. As for the other soldiers, they all retained their military status, but surprisingly, these former heroes all retired from active service and went home.
Demobilization is very difficult for veterans, and no one wants to take off their military uniforms, especially at that time, the society worshipped soldiers very much, but there was no way, and what should come always came. The captured veterans who are now returning to China with official replies have a good life. Some have become bosses and some have become leaders in their units.
But life is cruel, and some veterans have a hard time. In this society where actors are in power, we should pay more attention to them.
