As an old soldier who served in 7 1 year, I have only seen the recall of demobilized soldiers at the beginning of 1979 (self-defense counterattack against Vietnam). The purpose of this recall is to counterattack Vietnam in self-defense in February 1979. At that time, it was in the stage of replacement of new veterans and a large number of military cadres, and the lack of skilled technical arms was a realistic problem. With the approval of the Central Military Commission, the participating troops ordered the recall of retired and demobilized soldiers and cadres of artillery, tank soldiers, engineers, signal soldiers and other technical arms.
There will be no recall of retired demobilized soldiers and cadres in the subsequent self-defense counterattack against Vietnam or in the peaceful period after the 1990 s. Moreover, according to the provisions of the military service law, China implements the system of reserve soldiers and cadres, so there can be no recall of 1979.
