How much did China and the Soviet Union sacrifice in the Vietnam War?

After the end of the Second World War, the world did not become peaceful, but there was a growing trend. In Asia alone, there are many wars, the most striking of which is the Vietnam War.

After World War II, in order to maintain its influence in the Asia-Pacific region, the United States successively supported puppets in Vietnam, South Korea and Japan. At this time, the Vietnam War began. At that time, with the support of the American government, Vietnam was divided into two regimes, one was North Vietnam of the Oriental Group and the other was South Vietnam of the capital camp.

In fact, if we go deeper, we can find that this is an extremely important local war in the Cold War. After World War II, two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, emerged in the war. In order to compete for hegemony, the two sides fought for each other, and finally Vietnam became a vent.

As the Eastern Group at that time, how much did China and the Soviet Union sacrifice in this war? Up to now, veterans who have helped Vietnam are unforgettable.

1in the summer of 962, China intervened in Vietnam. On that day, Chairman Mao met with Ho Chi Minh, leader of North Vietnam, in China. During the meeting, Chairman Mao decided to immediately provide Vietnam with guns capable of equipping 230 infantry battalions free of charge. The following year, Wu Yuanjia, commander-in-chief of North Vietnam, visited China and thanked China for providing weapons to Vietnam.

Chairman Mao held Wu Yuanjia's hand and said, "We helped each other and defeated the enemy together. You will not lose us, and we will not lose you. " Wu Yuanjia was moved by Chairman Mao's words. 1990 After the resumption of Sino-Vietnamese relations, Wu Yuanjia told these words to Vietnamese officials, which is intriguing.

In addition to providing weapons to Vietnam for free, China has sent military delegations to Vietnam for observation on many occasions. In fact, it is to help Vietnam advise and fight the American devils! 1963, Luo Ruiqing, then Chief of General Staff of China, led a Vietnamese military delegation to Vietnam and reached an agreement on the Plan of Coordinated Operations between the Chinese and Vietnamese Armed Forces.

By 1964, with the US Congress passing the defense budget, the pressure on the North Vietnamese army was increasing. Based on this, the leaders of China and Vietnam meet more and more frequently. At the beginning of July, Chairman Mao said to Ho Chi Minh: "If the United States dares to bomb or land in northern Vietnam, our army will fight. People in China have no legs. If the United States can send more troops, won't China come forward? "

Since then, China has begun to prepare for war, and at the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China solemnly declared: "The aggression of the United States against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam is an aggression against China, and the people of China will never sit idly by and never help!" In August, China built two airports in Mengzi, Yunnan, for Vietnamese planes to take off and land.

At the same time, China sent two more air divisions, one in Nanning and the other in Yunnan, ready to support the Vietnamese People's Army. At the same time, China also increased its aid to Vietnam. According to the 20 13 yearbook, from 1962 to 1966, China assisted North Vietnam with 270,000 guns, more than 800 large-caliber guns and nearly 2 bullets.

More than 780 tons of various explosives and 400,000 sets of military living materials (clothes, belts, shoes, etc.). ) and medical items (unknown); In addition, China also donated some daily necessities such as rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

What's the number? I still don't remember. A veteran who participated in the counterattack against China once said: The rice eaten by Vietnamese in Maoerdong is also from China. This scene makes people very angry.

As the big brother of the Oriental Group, the Soviet Union naturally donated, but most of the donations were mainly weapons and equipment, including anti-aircraft machine guns, large-caliber artillery, air defense weapons and so on.

With the strong support of China and the Soviet Union, the American plot finally failed, and North Vietnam successfully drove out the United States and established a relatively democratic country.
