Section 485 Liberate Sikkim and Bhutan

The night sky on the plateau is blue, and under the bright starlight, the once peaceful Tawang Valley is disturbed by a steel dragon. Although the British and Indian troops concentrated more than 200,000 troops, they were scattered along the southern slopes of the Himalayas as always, like sprinkling sesame seeds, and they also arrogantly believed that China's Qinghai-Tibet-Sichuan-Tibet Highway could support the combat needs of 50,000 lightly armed infantry at most, and in the face of a one-to-four superiority in troops, as long as the banner of the British and Indian armies was planted on the land of Tawang, China would only have to retreat and seek peace.

Tawang was also the main battlefield of the last Sino-Indian border war, and the troops of Lieutenant General Kempton of the British and Indian Army were launched along the Tawang-Bomdilla-Derangzong line, and the counterattack of the squadron was first launched on this battlefield. At the beginning of the war, in the face of the firepower of the 155 howitzer group covering the British and Indian troops, when the Cheetah tanks and octopus infantry fighting vehicles of the 24th Mechanized Infantry Division led by the key major general appeared in front of the positions of the British and Indian troops, the British ** officers were much more knowledgeable than those stunned Indian native soldiers, so one by one Chinese jeeps with red hat rings of British generals quickly transferred the command position, and then a large group of Indian bearded soldiers shouted at a loss, Later, in front of the 24th Mechanized Infantry Division, a collective collapse was staged, which made the key general who had been loaded and bolted his gun cry and laugh, trekked thousands of kilometers hard, and trained for more than a month to adapt to the plateau climate. The key brigadier general still has to maintain the demeanor of a high-ranking general, and the soldiers below can directly scold in the walkie-talkie, and everyone from afar is here, so let our 24th machine infantry division open the foreign meat, and it is not too late for you to surrender after overturning the position.

The squadron defeated a brigade of Brigadier General Davel of the Anglo-Indian Army, captured Brigadier General Davel, crossed the McMahon Line, and captured Tawang. However, after taking Tawang, a clear picture of the results of the battle found that the number of prisoners was too different from the number of defeated Indian troops, and it could not achieve the goal set before the war to fight for 30 years of border security. At this time, the Tibetans came to report that the reinforcements of the Indian army were being deployed along the Derangzong-Tawang road in three parts, preparing to attack Tawang, and the fighters appeared, and the key brigadier general immediately divided his troops into two routes, one along the road to meet the Indian army, and the other along the Bailey Trail to block the Indian army's rear road. As a result, one and a half brigades of the Indian army were added to a 『】dǐng『】diǎn『】小『】, .2±3.o☆s_(); The division headquarters was sandwiched between Tawang and Bomdila, which was the most exciting part of the opening chapter of the Sino-Indian War, in which a soldier defeated an artillery company of the Indian army and captured four cannons; Eight warriors captured 180 Indian soldiers; Half of the company that was put together in a hurry (Originally, this was a reinforced mountain company interspersed with Bailey Trail, and when I came out of the deep mountains and dense forests, I saw the Indian soldiers all over the mountains. Thinking that there was no longer an Indian army in formation, they grabbed prisoners all over the mountains and fields, and they could not collect them back, and this company had a more important task), and the 30 or so fighters of this half company simply blocked the well-equipped 3,000 Indian troops outside Bomdila. In this battle, the "ruler" general-purpose machine gun of the squadron was called the Death Scythe by the British and Indian Army, which was the first time that the British tried the horror of this howling weapon.

In the end, the Indian local staff officer of the division headquarters said to the British division commander that there was a path that almost never walked and could break through, but I just didn't know if I could still walk, and the British division commander scolded, "I can walk or not, this is the road, if you don't go, are you still waiting to die here?" Don't go yet". So the Indian brigade discarded all its heavy weapons and ran wildly along the path, and the latter half of the company was still in pursuit, and on the way, it encountered a heavy machine gun squad led by the deputy company commander of that company to block the attack at the bridgehead, and after all the bullets were fired, they watched more than 800 Indian troops swarm under their feet. The task of this company was originally to cut off this path, and the covering troops led by the deputy company commander carried out the task to the letter, and the deputy company commander made a first-class merit and was promoted to battalion commander (the battalion commander was a training officer assigned by the National Defense University, and returned to the school to continue his studies when it expired), but the main force led by the company commander patronized and captured the prisoners, but he had a meritorious service in blocking the main force of the Indian army (other interspersed troops did not arrive in time), and it was a second-class merit if he was not promoted or demoted. The company commander and the deputy company commander fell on the spot, and the deputy company commander became the battalion commander, and continued to advance into the southern foothills of the Himalayas with the original company and a company reinforced to him.

The various vehicles of the Chinese armored forces and the rapid reaction force had long been prepared for fuel and ammunition supplies, and under the full air support and supply of the Royal Air Force's nanny, they pursued wildly all the way along the mountain road and hit Derangzong, where the vanguard off-road vehicle reconnaissance unit of one company ran faster than the Indian troops who fled by car, and under the stunned eyelids of the Indians, the two convoys passed by without firing a shot. When this reconnaissance company passed through the city, it turned around and blocked the Indian army in Derangzong.

Just as he was eating, resting, and digging fortifications, a convoy came from the south, and the soldiers did not have time to take their guns, so this huge convoy entered Derangzong. It was only when he was beaten that he learned that the car was full of the first batch of advanced weapons that Britain and the United States urgently aided India, and they were hurriedly delivered to the hands of the squadron without even breaking the seal, including the most advanced 1 Garand rifle in the United States at that time. However, after the Chinese soldiers tried it, they threw it back into the box with disdain, and they couldn't load the bullets halfway, and they would eject the magazines with a clank after the fight, so they almost pressed a small horn to tell the enemy that I had no bullets, and if I wanted to kill me, I would come now. Such a stupid design is 550 grams heavier than the Chinese repeater rifle with a capacity of 20 rounds, I really don't know what kind of advanced weapon this is.

In the battle of Derangzong, a regimental combat staff officer (major) was sacrificed, which was the highest-ranking officer killed in the entire Sino-Indian border counterattack. At that time, the various clusters were like the rise of hunting wolves, and they could not contain their feet, and the tanks drove forward when they had fuel, and the bomb magazines only fought forward when there were shells, and no one cared about resting. Suddenly, a soldier was stunned and did not dare to move forward.

The people in the back went up to take a look, Mom, why is there no mountain in front of me, it is an endless plain, and one of them cautiously asked the instructor, did we hit India, hit other countries. The instructor puffed up his stomach and said proudly, what do you know? There's the Indian subcontinent ahead, and before that, you're in the Indian Ocean.

The 27th Infantry Division had also arrived in Yadong, which was about 110 kilometers away from the actual control line on the Sino-Indian border, where China, India, and Sikkim met and was historically under the jurisdiction of Tibet. In 1890, when Sikkim was still a dependency of Tibet, it was entrusted by the Da Le Lama to the Sikkim tribal king, who was later imprisoned in India by the British, and refused to make a declaration of secession from Tibet until his death. Due to the incompetence of the Manchu government, under the instruction of Li Hongzhang, the Minister of Tibetan Affairs of the Qing Government signed the Treaty of Gargotha with the British Governor-General in India, and Sikkim seceded from Tibet (that is, from China). During this period, in order to avoid the late Qing government's provocation of the Tibet incident, Britain suddenly did not recognize China's suzerainty status over Tibet, and the US government warned Britain that China's suzerainty status over Tibet had been recognized by the British government in the Treaty of Calgoda and other relevant treaties, which made Britain blush. However, at this time, China had recovered Yadong, and the troops were directed at Sikkim and Bhutan, and the British and Indian armies collapsed at the beginning of the moment, turned into fleeing from the wind, and finally a large number of Indian soldiers discarded their weapons and equipment, took off their uniforms and talked to themselves on the spot.

The 70th Brigade of the Indian Army stationed in Gangtok is not a good baby, but it has always been a person who sits at home and gets into trouble from the sky, and the 66th Division suddenly launched an attack with the strength of a regiment, and the progress was rapid, when Major General Kaul was inspecting here, and was dispersed by the surging rout from the north, there was no way to squeeze through the crowd and drive to the airport to escape by plane, but soon Major General Kaul did not have to be angry, because the airport was occupied by the Chinese Airborne Forces, and his landline was captured by the squadron. Major-General Kaul fled in the rain on an open-top jeep pulled by oxen, and if it weren't for the fact that a company got lost, Major General Kaul would have enjoyed the privileges of the Wehrmacht with his colleagues in the prisoner-of-war camp in Chengdu. This Dragonfly Army liaison plane is the only Indian army plane captured by China, and China announced the return of the captured Indian army's equipment after the war, but this plane was not returned, and it became a cultural relic of the China Aviation Museum, saving money.

Gangtok, Darjeeling, Jerbaiguli, and Langbul, the 66th Division broke through the eastern defense line of the entire India in two days and entered the Bengal Shock Plain, and finally when the 15-day war stopped, the 66th Division had already reached Jessor, and the accompanying heavy artillery clusters could bombard the outskirts of Calcutta. The 27th Jibu Division, under the leadership of division commander Chen Rong, also marched all the way, entering Guwahati in three days and Dhaka in ten days, basically advancing at a marching speed.

Speaking of the Western Front, the Western Front is vast, and there is also a line similar to the McMahon Line, which is also a ghost made by the British.

When the squadron of the Western Front counterattacked, the Indian army was stationed at Shiquanhe (now the capital of the Ali region of Tibet), with the strength of one company, and the entire area was the strength of a battalion. There is a company and a half of troops stationed in the area of Lake Bangong. When the troops of the 50th Mountain Division and the 55th Rapid Response Division fought all the way through the Himalayas and were more than 300 kilometers away from New Delhi, India was frightened to dig fortifications in the streets and parks of New Delhi, a large number of citizens fled the urban areas, and the foreign offices of various countries were evacuated one after another.

Later, although the Chinese National Defense Forces also symbolically retreated, they did not retreat to the actual control line before the war, and now the nearest border station to the Shiquan River can be reached by car for two days and another two days. The nearest border station to Bangong Lake is also more than 2,400 kilometers.

Later, Wu Chenxuan once said in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, "Chinese know that in the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, there were nineteen subject states, and where it was written in primary school textbooks, even the little dolls knew that if it could not reach the hands of someone in my Wu, it would become five, and fourteen would be missing out of thin air, and you could not let me go to see my ancestors with the charge of traitor."

After 15 days of stormy assaults, China regained more than 500,000 square kilometers of territory lost on the Sino-Indian border since the late Qing government, and restored Bhutan, Sikkim, and Nepal. Even the plains of Bengal are disputed territory, and the independence movement in Burma has become in full swing at the instigation of China, especially after China cut off the path of British intervention from the Indian mainland.
