Go south along the main road of Kyle and go straight to the headquarters of the 346 th Division of Gaoping Vietnamese Army; All the way to the east, after passing through Guojiahe and Xinguan strongholds, it approached the 346 th Division of Gaoping Vietnamese Army from three directions: east, west and south.

The two sides launched a fierce exchange of fire on both sides of the main road in Kyle.
The process of self-defense counterattack against Vietnam;
In order to end the fighting as soon as possible, we adopted the tactics of retreating. By the afternoon of March 12, we had reached the west bank of Beixi River in Vietnam, and the 448th Regiment of the 50th Army 150 Division was surrounded by Vietnamese troops. At this time, Li, the head of the 448th regiment, asked the division commander to withdraw while fighting, and asked the division commander to send troops for support, and the division commander agreed.
However, the commander of the 50 th Army did not understand the situation and only sent two companies to reinforce. The two companies were surrounded by Vietnamese troops before they arrived, because the terrain in Vietnam was very complicated, and finally these troops completely lost contact with their superiors. In the absence of command, the head of the 448th Regiment decided to break through. It was this decision that caused our army to lose 542 people and many advanced weapons.
The company captured 200 people, including head Li, battalion commander and more than 20 platoon leaders of these newly transferred company commanders. The biggest headache for the superiors is that Feng Zengmin, the company commander of the Eighth Company who was sent to reinforce, directly led the soldiers to surrender. More than 200 people were captured and photographed by the Vietnamese army. This incident angered our army. After the war, the deputy commander of the 50 th Army was dismissed and the political commissar was warned by the party.
