This is a full-length war novel based on real war history. It is based on the Eastern Front battlefield of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in 1979. Through multiple perspectives such as the command level, combat companies, scouts, health workers and even Vietnamese army officers, it three-dimensionally restores key battles such as the Battle of Dong Dang and the Battle of Lang Son that determined the situation on the Eastern Front. The work not only shows the thunderous force of "bad knife tactics" that penetrate the vital points, and the spectacle of war covered by artillery clusters, but also delicately depicts the fear and struggle, courage and responsibility, loss and perseverance of individuals on the battlefield.
When the last batch of troops withdrew into the country on March 16, this smoke-filled war did not really end. Red kapok still blooms enthusiastically on the border mountains year after year, and the surviving soldiers return to ordinary life with double scars on their bodies and minds. Until many years later, some people return to the old battlefields, exploring the possibility of reconciliation among the luxuriant grass and mottled bullet scars, and in the intertwining of history and memory. This is not only a novel about war, but also an epic carrying sacrifice, dignity, national destiny and personal trauma. It always asks the most fundamental proposition in war: when the artillery fire is completely silent, how should we face our former opponents, and how should we reconcile with ourselves with scars?
Reader comments
This is a good book. This is the first time I have read a novel about Vietnam's self-defense and counterattack in the form of a novel. It is very real and vivid. Our respectable soldiers shed their blood for the sake of the peace of the motherland. It is a good book for patriotic education.
This book is well written and very true. An unforgettable self-defense counterattack against Vietnam.
The self-defense counterattack was too hard, and my heroic sons sacrificed their lives for the sake of the country. . . .
The subject matter is good, but the writing is too messy. The narrative is inserted in reverse order?
Written with flesh and blood and sincere feelings
It seems a bit confusing. Wasn't Wang Dawen a new recruit at the beginning? Why did he suddenly become a veteran! Chen Shanhe went to Tongdengdu River for reconnaissance in front of him, and he was on the train going south later. It was a bit chaotic.
Chinese military spirit! A meticulous war narrative that makes people feel frightened but also excited! Tribute to the unsung heroes of our forefathers! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy this prosperous and prosperous time [Like][Like][Like]
The writing is very good, the writing style is smooth and compact, and it is very comfortable to listen to. I don't want to stop as soon as I listen to it. From the words, I seem to understand the real scene of the scene. Come on, author!
This novel reproduces the real situation of my country's counterattack against Vietnam in 1979. Our army suffered heavy casualties, but our commanders and soldiers did not retreat. They fought bravely for every inch of the motherland!
The story is real and touching. In the 1970s, on the Sino-Vietnamese border, the memories of blood and fire are both evocative and evocative. The people's soldiers, the loveliest people, the feelings of family and country, pay tribute to the heroic frontline officers and soldiers! I have never met, and I am deeply grateful to them. Without the sacrifice of the martyrs, there would be no happy life today. Turn grief into motivation, do your job well, and contribute your strength to the construction of the country. Salute! Salute! Salute!
Thank you very much for your sharing, it is very useful for educating children! Don't forget the national humiliation, today is hard-won for our motherland! Thumbs up to the heroic comrades 👍! [Love][Like][Like][Like][Like]
It's gripping, not sloppy, and a good work.
Well written, delicate, smooth, rich in language, and the story is attractive.
Thumbs up to the heroes of that battle
Although I was not able to participate in this battle in person, I was stationed in the northwest border for more than a hundred days. That time will never be forgotten!
It's very interesting. It's rare to find an article about the Vietnam War in 1979.
It truly reproduces every detail of the war that year. It is a good book worth recommending.
Clear narrative, strong logic, and elegant writing style
Clear organization, concise narrative, clear facts, and bright writing style
It truly reflects the cruelty, complexity, intensity and objective reality of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam.
It's really good, written realistically and with emotion.
It's getting better and better! The thrilling and real war scenes make me fall in love with it more and more!
Good reviews. Gaga sounds good
It's good to revisit history!
Good, you can read it
This book is very good and worth reading!
The characters are written in detail and have spirit, both internally and externally, but the early stage is too long.
The description of the warrior's mood is very good, and the hero's inner analysis is more realistic.
The content is authentic. It should be consistent with the history of the time. Once you see it, you won't want to let it go. Worth a look.
I really like novels about Vietnam's self-defense and counterattack! This novel is very realistic and close to the real war! Give the author a thumbs up! I hope there will be better novels published in the future!
