The Chinese here kept boasting about border war 1979, seems to me what they know was nothing but a lie from Chinese news paper. Let me re post this from Vietnam side 1979 border war, how the situation really was. This is from one of reliable Vietnamese source.
You can use google translated.
1979 Cuộc chiến không thể lãng quên | Chính trị
They mobilized a huge force with 120,000 troops fighting with Vietnam border guards only.
5 am on 02.17.1979, the Chinese forces about 120,000 troops in Vietnam began on the entire border, beginning with fireworks, followed by tanks and infantry. On the east wing forward headquarters located in Nanning and the main objective is Lang Son.
Vietnam very strong resistance and with high morale. PLA is almost impossible to use force in the division but must use small squad and change tactics. They advance slowly, battling each tunnel, each high point, and finally captured the Muong Khuong (Hoang Lien Son), Chongqing (Cao Bang), and Dong Dang (Lang Son). In Mong Cai, the two sides battling nagging. Both sides suffered high casualties, with at least 4,000 Chinese soldiers died in the first two days. After two days of war, Chinese troops had captured 11 villages and towns, while surrounded Dong Dang, the town has a key position on the Sino-Vietnamese border.
This part Vietnam decided bring back their regular division fighting in Cambodia to ready counter attack China.
On 26/2, more Chinese soldiers gathered around Lang Son area in preparation for the battle to conquer the town. After inspecting the battlefield, General Staff of Vietnam People's Army proposed a corps mobilized from Cambodia and an artillery battalion BM-21 jet has been Soviet aid to Lang Son.
This part Vietnam declared whole nation war with China that when China decided to retreat.
On 05/03/1979, Vietnam ordered national mobilization. The same day, Beijing announced it had "accomplished the goal War", "victory" and began to withdraw. Meanwhile, in front of Lang Son, Vietnam has the disposition very methodical, prepared a large-scale counter-attack, hit synergistic army troops.
If Chinese stay will be big trouble for them. Not only their inexperience army will face with experienced Vietnam Army brought back from Cambodia. They also face the threat invasion from Soviet. Soviet already mobilized massive troops along China border already. I am not sure how they called that a "win" when Vietnam had not even sent their regular troops into battle yet. An inexperience army can't even repulse Japanese say that they win over harden Army just fought two brutal wars with most advanced Army from the West; French and American-WWII victor, sounds like Chinese movie.
