In February 1979, why did the deputy chief of staff shoot at his comrades, killing and wounding 12 soldiers? In 1979, during the Sino-Vietnamese self-defense counterattack, there was a painful incident of manslaughter of compatriots. A high-ranking officer of the Vietnamese army lost his sense of proportion in the flames of war and opened fire on his brothers, killing and wounding 12 people. This despicable bloody case left the parties with lifelong regrets. What is the cause of such a tragedy?
In February 1979, the war on the Sino-Vietnamese border resumed. In order to cut off the enemy's retreat, the 367th Regiment was ordered to occupy the strategic location of Koutun. It can be described as a great responsibility, step by step. On 19 February, the 2nd Battalion of the regiment, under the leadership of the former commander, rushed to its destination from thousands of miles. On the way, he encountered the enemy many times, and the fight continued.
In a blink of an eye, at 0:00 on the 20th, the second battalion finally arrived at heights 305 and 306. But at this moment, an ominous suspicion arose in the hearts of commander Chen Guowang and battalion commander Zheng Renxuan. They mistook the stragglers of the friendly 363rd Regiment for enemy agents, misjudged and convinced.
What is even more tragic is that despite all the ways around them to verify the identity of the person in front of them, they turn a blind eye and rest on their laurels. In the end, under the mistake of a thought, Chen Guowang actually picked up the submachine gun and fired a burst of bullets, causing 12 casualties of varying degrees.
Faced with the blood of their comrades, they woke up from a dream and realized their crimes. But by then it was too late, and the damage was irreparable. "We are our closest comrades-in-arms, how did we get to where we are today?" Chen Zheng and the others cried so much that they almost lost their minds. The soldiers on the side were frightened and pale, as if they were in a nightmare.
Since then, Chen Guowang and Zheng Renxuan have been burdened with heavy charges and endured endless torture of conscience. This tragedy has taught everyone a profound lesson: in a tense war environment, any hasty judgment and action can lead to a big mistake or even a tragedy of cannibalism. We must always keep a cool head and not be carried away by impulsiveness and doubt. Otherwise, it is hard to imagine how serious the consequences will be.
This heart-wrenching incident of manslaughter of compatriots has taught the parties concerned and the entire army a heavy lesson. In the cruel environment of war, any small error of judgment can lead to a big mistake and cause the tragedy of cannibalism. Therefore, we must always keep a clear head, and we must not be blinded by negative emotions such as hatred, suspicion, and fear, so as to do things that are harmful to nature and reason.
It is really embarrassing to think about the course of this incident. At that time, Chen Guowang and Zheng Renxuan were fully capable of verifying the identities of those stragglers, and they had a full four companies under their command, which were heavily fortified around them. Even if there is suspicion about those persons, it is entirely possible to detain them first and then proceed with further action. However, they hastily made up their minds that their unarmed comrades would be strafed, regardless of the number of casualties.
Such an approach is undoubtedly heinous and has caused irreparable damage to both sides. On the one hand, Chen Zheng and the others suffered from the torture of conscience afterwards and were charged with a crime that cannot be erased for the rest of their lives; On the other hand, those soldiers who were killed by mistake were even more miserable, some died on the spot, some were seriously injured, and never again could return to their old jobs and serve their country.
The other soldiers who were at the scene at the time were also frightened when they saw this scene, and they couldn't believe that their close comrades-in-arms could suffer such a catastrophe. They looked at each other and asked the sky speechlessly, only to feel that this war was indeed too cruel, to the point that even their own people would hurt their own people. Since then, they have gained a deeper understanding of war, and have seen its brutal and irrational side.
The so-called "no grievances, no hatred, no shame", this sentence could not be more appropriate here. Afterwards, Chen Zheng and the others cried so much that they almost lost their minds and were in pain. Do they think of what they have done, worthy of the blood and lives of their comrades-in-arms? Is it worthy of the honor and integrity of a soldier? It's really a shame to be a heroic spirit, and I am to blame.
"The flesh and bones of the soldiers are soft!" When the soldiers on the sidelines saw this scene, they were all moved to tears. They were heartbroken, but at the same time, they were also deeply taught: in the midst of war and life-and-death situations, calmness and composure are the true kings, and any impulsiveness and suspicion will bring disaster to themselves and their comrades. Since then, they have taken this tragedy as a lesson and become more cautious and prudent, and will never repeat the mistakes of the past.
To this day, the shadow of this tragic case still lingers in the hearts of the parties concerned and has become an eternal pain in their hearts. It shows us that in war, reason and calmness always come first, and if they are missing, they can lead to the great mistake of cannibalism. We must bear this lesson in mind and act before we act, and we must not act hastily. Only in this way can our blood and lives be truly accompanied by glory and not be in vain. May this tragedy never happen again, and may peace live forever on earth#头条首发大赛! #
