I am Director Mi, paying attention to hot information at home and abroad, the humanities, national conditions and history of various countries
Since the Opium War, China has gone from being a world power to a big fat piece of meat that Britain, France and other countries have bullied one by one. After the Opium War, Hong Kong Island was ceded, suzerainty of Vietnam was abandoned after the Sino-French War, and the Sino-Japanese War ceded the Shandong Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula and the island of Taiwan, and also signed the "Shimonoseki Treaty" of dispersal and humiliation.
In this hundred years, China has become a big fat sheep to be slaughtered.
But after 1949, everything changed because new China was founded.
During the Battle of the River Crossing in the War of Liberation in April 1949, the British Royal Navy's Far East Fleet HMS Purple Quartz ignored warnings and broke into the front line area of the lower Yangtze River without authorization, thus triggering a military conflict with the Chinese People's Liberation Army shelling British warships, also known as the Sino-British Yangtze River Artillery Battle. Since then, British warships and warships of the great powers have withdrawn from China's inland sea.
In the 72 years since, successive Defense Ministers of Our Country have spoken out the strongest voice representing the majesty of China's sovereignty.
From October 1950 to July 1953, China launched the Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. With 630,000 casualties, we saved Korea, while also defending the nascent democratic regime and our frontiers.
Although many sacrifices were made in this war, through the confrontation with the United States, the position of revolutionary China in the international community was completely established.
Mr. Peng said: "Gone are the days when Western invaders could occupy a country for hundreds of years by erecting a few cannons on a coast in the East. ”
After India's independence in 1947, its wings were not hard, but it learned the path of aggression and expansion of the former suzerainty, Britain. By around 1951, the Indian army had successively occupied the eastern and western sections of the Sino-Indian border and many of China's territories that had been interrupted. After repeated protests were ineffective, the Chinese border troops were forced to carry out self-defense counterattacks in the eastern and western sections at the same time on October 20, when they could not bear it and could not retreat.
In one month, our army killed more than 4,800 Indian troops and captured more than 3,900 people. Frightened, Nehru almost moved the capital, and led to psychological depression before he died within a few years.
After the Sino-Indian self-defense counterattack, lin biao, then defense minister, said: "In thirty years, the Indian army will not dare to provoke again." ”
The Spratly Islands are the inherent territory of our country, and our ancestors have lived and managed here for 2,000 years. However, due to the decline of national strength at the end of the Qing Dynasty, China's naval strength was weak, and it was occupied by Japan and France successively.
Beginning in March 1956, South Vietnamese invaded and occupied the Paracel Islands in batches on the grounds of taking over French sovereignty. First, on May 26, 1956, troops were sent to occupy Ganquan Island, and then on August 21, 1958, Chenhang Island was occupied. China issued a territorial waters statement in protest (began stationing armed militias on the island of the Vinh Hôn 4 South Vietnamese ship Hq-4). Under the pressure of international public opinion and possible war with armed militias, South Vietnam temporarily withdrew its troops from Chenhang Island, Ganquan Island and Treasure Island, but still occupied Coral Island.
On January 19, 1974, the Battle of the Paracels broke out between our Navy and the then South Vietnamese Navy in the waters off the Paracel Islands. In this battle, 1 escort gunboat of the South Vietnamese Navy was sunk, 3 destroyers were damaged, and 49 people were captured. The islands of Chenhang Island, Ganquan Island and Treasure Island were successfully recovered.
Ye Jianying's criticism at that time was: Resolutely recover the three islands of Ganquan, Coral, and Gold and Silver!
Former Defense Minister Geng Biao said: People do not offend me, I do not offend people; If anyone offends me, I will sin against them.
Qin Jiwei served as Minister of National Defense from 1988 to 1993. The veteran general participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan and personally commanded part of the Battle of Shangganling. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he commanded the soldiers to kill more than 100 traitors who committed the most heinous crimes overnight, and all the slain traitors had a slogan on their bodies: All those who gave the Japanese army a message to lead the way were also killed.
When he led a delegation to Europe, he said to those around him:
"Don't look at their 'grandeur', but they may not have experienced the baptism of real war." Have they experienced the Long March? People who have experienced the Long March know better than anyone what is called soldiers and what is war. I don't believe you called MacArthur over, and the two of us went to hell together, and I could come back alive, but he might not. The 25,000-mile Long March was a tempering of the will of the Chinese soldiers, and could not be cultivated by the 10 West Point military academies. ”
Chi Haotian said to the Japanese: Your invasion of China forced me to join the army. If it wasn't you, how could I have become defense minister, become a general, and receive your Japanese delegation here today?
Admiral Cao Gangchuan will be a Henan Wugangren who served as defense minister from 2003 to 2008. It is said that the old man said: "It is better for an island not to grow grass, but also to liberate an island." Such a domineering word, but it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Bright sword spirit: In the face of a powerful opponent, knowing that it is invincible, we must resolutely shine the sword, even if it falls, it must become a mountain, a ridge! What an awe,what awe,what determination, what joy, what boldness! Salute to the soul of the Chinese military!
