Armed forces, militias and ethnic minority communities at the border fought them on the spot, forcing the Chinese to withdraw from Vietnam on March 18 of the year. However, the withdrawal was not complete, and China continued to maintain forces at the border, harassing Vietnamese localities and triggering hostilities that lasted the next decade.
Gunfire continued on the Vi Xuyen Front after 1981, when the Chinese army began to attack with artillery shells. In late April 1984, Chinese troops illegally occupied many places along the Ha Giang border. The Vietnamese army organized a counterattack to regain these spots.
In 1984 and 1985, the two sides fought fierce battles. It was only by 1988 that the border situation eased, with the two countries actively withdrawing their troops.
According to the Liaison Committee of the Veterans of the Battle of Vi Xuyen, between 1984 and 1989, more than 4,000 Vietnamese soldiers died, thousands of people were injured, and the remains of more than 2,000 martyrs have not yet been found"
