Chapter 156: Beating the Reservoir Dogs

After taking control of Yaowang Mountain, which was controlled by the Tibetan army participating in the rebellion, and controlling this commanding height, which overlooks the whole of Lhasa, our counterinsurgency troops set up more than 10 Type 51 14,5 mm high-level dual-purpose machine guns on the mountain to provide accurate and effective fire support to the entire city of Lhasa at any time. Our counterinsurgency forces immediately carried out a comprehensive crackdown on the [***] rebels in Lhasa and the surrounding areas.

At 11:05, the counterinsurgency command of the Tibetan Provincial Corps of the People's Liberation Army issued an order to the 308th Artillery Regiment to shell the Potala Palace. According to the instructions of the central authorities not to damage the building, and the pre-war requirements of the counterinsurgency headquarters, the second howitzer battalion aimed at the window of the Potala Palace to carry out accurate shooting. Deng Feng knew that this kind of requirement was a bit unrealistic, after all, the artillery shell was not a missile, and even a missile could not be guaranteed to be launched into the window. However, the instructions of the central authorities still have to be carried out. So he set a premise, as long as he didn't increase the casualties of the soldiers and tried his best not to damage the building, in his eyes, the life of the soldier was more important and precious than the building.

Through the mobilization before the war, the commanders and fighters of the Second Howitzer Battalion were all gearing up and with high morale, and they were all looking forward to this moment of fighting to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. A few hours before the preparations for firing at the Potala Palace, the scouts of the battalion observation post used reconnaissance equipment to carefully observe the punctuation points of each window, and the fire control computer crew worked out the accurate calculation of the firing yuan of each gun in the battalion, and the battalion commander personally and conscientiously checked the firing yuan of each gun.

The commander of the second battalion, Miao Zongqing, received an order from the regimental headquarters to fire at the Potala Palace. He immediately gave the firing order: "Attention of the whole battalion: Target No. 1, each support point of the enemy, steel ball anti-personnel bullets, fuse by the way, and the whole battalion fires a salvo." ”

At this time, the sixth generation of the Tibetan army and some armed lamas entrenched in the Potala Palace continued to shoot at the counterinsurgency headquarters in the courtyard of the Tibetan Provincial Military Region in front of the window of this condescending building on the basis of this majestic building built against the mountain. With the roar of the artillery position of the second battalion of howitzers, a 122-millimeter howitzer shell with 1,450 steel balls accurately flew into the windows of the Potala Palace. Each of the rebels killed had at least 20 bullet holes in their bodies, and no one was spared. The second battalion of howitzers of the 308th Regiment of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) quickly collapsed the shocking effect of sound, light, and countless flying steel balls, and the will to resist of the [***] rebels hidden in this ancient stone palace. After 15 minutes of shooting at the window, more than 1,400 rebels of the sixth generation of the Tibetan army in the Potala Palace, and more than 3,000 armed lamas who participated in the rebellion, were killed by the explosion, and more than 2,600 people were killed. This group of [***] rebels was terrified, up and down, what living Buddhas, lamas, toasts, and daibens, none of them dared to pull hard anymore and pretend to be b. As soon as the artillery fire stopped, they immediately hung out white flags made of white hata, and one by one they crawled out of the Potala Palace, a world that made them feel infinitely terrifying, and walked down the red mountain with the white flag, and knelt down a large area on the sandy road at the foot of the red mountain in the Potala Palace. Subsequently, the 159th Battalion, 2nd Company, and 3rd Company of the 1st Regiment entered the Potala Palace. During the search, they found that there were more than 5,500 guns of various kinds, more than 20 small artillery pieces of various kinds, more than 60 thousand rounds of bullets, and more than 1,000 shells hidden in the Potala Palace. The religious temple where [***] lives is nothing short of an arms warehouse. It can be seen how hypocritical it is for these [***] lamas to emphasize "abstaining from killing"!

Deng Feng stood in front of the window, and after seeing all this through the telescope, he said to Director Tan Guanshan with satisfaction: "You have to use an iron wrist for these [***] elements who give shame to their faces." Completely destroy their will. Let them have nightmares for generations to think about. Tibetan province has a population of 100 Tibetans. More than 900,000 serfs are supporters of our policy, and the remaining less than 10% are all against us, so what does it matter if we kill them all. For the sake of China's reunification and China's long-term peace and stability, this price is not too large. ”

"Have you thought about it? These are to be recorded in history. Director Tan looked at this Deng Feng, who dared to speak and do, and said.

"Hmph, hmph" Deng Feng let out two sneers through his nose, and said with a mocking expression: "History, what is history?" When the Manchus first entered the Central Plains, they killed tens of millions of Han people, who still remembers it today? Didn't the later people still tout something about this emperor and that emperor? ”

Tan Guanshan said: "We Chinese [***] people are not Manchu emperors after all. ”

Deng Feng turned around, pulled over a chair and sat down, and said: "In terms of the essence of history, the process of some classes winning and some classes being eliminated is history. Whether it is the Yellow Emperor or the Red Emperor, they all represent the interests of their own class. It is not too much to threaten the interests of the class by any means to remove it. ”

"Isn't there a question of right and wrong?"

"Heh, heh, heh" Deng Feng said with a smile: "Right and wrong, that is completely determined by everyone's position, the same thing, because of the different angles can draw diametrically opposite conclusions." So it's hard to say what is 'yes' and what is 'not'. ”

"That's, that's" Tan Guanshan nodded repeatedly. Deng Feng: He didn't want to talk about this kind of issue anymore. Then he changed the subject and said: "Our side is fighting very well, Lao Sha and their 6th Army are also doing a good job, through the plane landing they have blocked the main junction in the border area, and now they are sweeping up the [***] elements in the southeast of Lhasa, south of the Brahmaputra River, north of the Himalayas, and bordering China and India, and Bhutan. In the morning, their army aviation brigade carried out a thorough cleanup of the stronghold of the Western Liwei Sect in the Shannan area, and annihilated more than 10,000 rebels of the Western [***] Liwei Army. Completely wiped out the nest of the largest [***] armed group. Now they have control over all border defense points in the area. ”

This is really good, thanks to their army aviation brigade in Tibetan Province, otherwise it would be really troublesome to deal with those [***] rebels who are running around. Tan Guanshan looked at Deng Feng's beautiful appearance and said, "Is there any good news?"

"The Indian [***] (Maoist) Napati has just reported that the Indian People's Liberation Army (PLA) has cleaned up the [***] elements in India as well as those in India. They eliminated three strongholds of the [***] elements in India. During the raid on the armed training base of the 'Western [***] Movement against Dharamsala, India, the "Western [***] Armed Fighters Organization" was carried out. Tsering Zowang, chairman of the [***] movement, and more than 100 members of the [***] movement were killed. Deng Feng said with a smile: "This time, domestic and foreign countries will work together to cut off [***] at once." ”

At 11,30 points, the 2nd Battalion of the 159th Regiment of the People's Liberation Army and the 3rd Battalion of the Military Region Guard Battalion, under the cover of 4 "Destroyer" tanks and 5 "Assault" wheeled armored vehicles, cleaned up the [***] armed lamas and [***] rebels in the Jokhang Temple, Xiaozhao Temple, Drepung Temple, Sera Temple, and Ganden Temple. These reactionary lamas and rebels of the [***] movement began to try to resist stubbornly by relying on the solid stone temples. Ignoring the persuasion of the counterinsurgency troops who went to encircle and suppress them and make them come out and surrender, they kept shooting at our counterinsurgency troops from the temple. The tankmen finally couldn't hold it back, they drove the "destroyer" tanks in front of these temples, and fired directly at the gates and windows, in order not to cause huge damage to the buildings, they did not use armor-piercing shells, but used 125 mm anti-personnel grenades with 1,900 steel balls inside. With only two or three artillery shots for each stronghold occupied by these [***] rebels, these armed lamas and [***] rebels can be blown up by ghosts and wolves, and they throw away their weapons, hold white flags, and obediently roll out of the smoking temples and surrender.

At the same time that the 159th Regiment of our counterinsurgency force was cleaning up the [***] armed forces in Lhasa, the 1st Rocket Artillery Battalion of the 308th Artillery Regiment and the 155th Infantry Regiment, under the cover of 6 "Destroyer" tanks and 5 "Assault" armored vehicles, also immediately launched an attack on Norbulingka, the first generation of the Tibetan army and armed lamas, who participated in the rebellion. In this Norbulingka, which is one kilometer long from east to west and less than 500 meters wide from north to south, was the 14th [***] Lama. Tenzin Gyatso's last lair, the [***] rebel group deployed more than 2,600 Tibetan troops and more than 1,400 armed monks here, and in order to strengthen the defense here, more than 800 bandits from the Western [***] Liwei Sect were added to strengthen the defense, and strong fortifications were built.

In one fell swoop, the victory of defending the enemy at Yaowang Mountain effectively encouraged all the commanders and fighters of the 1st Rocket Artillery Battalion, and their fighting spirit was high, and the more they fought, the more they wanted to fight, and the more they fought, the higher their morale grew. Despite altitude sickness and the harsh climate, they were not afraid of being toiled and fought continuously, and the bitter cold wind in Tibet Province in March was still bitterly cold, and many soldiers were busy carrying ammunition and loading rocket artillery with bare arms. After fainting and getting up, he continued to persist in fighting, fully demonstrating the indomitable fighting spirit of our People's Liberation Army.

At 12 o'clock, the battalion commander Huo Bao, who had just returned from the observation post, received an order from the regiment to attack Norbulingka, and the battalion commander Huo Bao hurriedly issued a firing order: "Attention of the whole battalion: Target No. 2, load the steel ball high-explosive anti-personnel bombs, the whole battalion is loaded with a salvo, and the report is loaded." "When each artillery is connected to the password, the company commander, deputy company commander, platoon commander, and artillery squad leader quickly repeat the battalion commander's password, and at the same time, the artillery squad leader works closely with the aiming hand and the steering wheel hand to give the baseline firing direction; The gunners of each artillery quickly loaded the shells, and after loading, reported to the commanders of each artillery company that the gun was loaded, and the positions of each artillery company reported to the battalion command post: "The 1st company is loaded." "2 companies loaded" when each artillery company reported to the position command post that the reload was completed. The battalion commander Huo Bao raised his right wrist and looked at his watch, waited for a moment, and then issued a new password: "Attention of the whole battalion: 135 rulers in the first company, 1-42 to the right, 138 rulers in the second company, 1-48 to the right, 140 rulers in the third company, 2-05 to the right, and prepare to report." After checking that the installed elements were correct, the platoon commanders and the squad leaders of the artillery immediately reported to the commanders of the artillery companies that the artillery was ready, and at the same time sat in the firing chamber and prepared for firing. After receiving the report that "the whole battalion is ready", the battalion commander Huo Bao issued an order: "The whole battalion is launched." ”

The 122 mm steel ball high-explosive anti-personnel missile rocket with a punctuation point of 50 meters, three salvos, a complete artillery fire coverage of the entire Norbulingka, per square meter of steel balls to 6-7 grains, if it can survive under this density, it must be a great fate, a great blessing, and a great creation. Under the heavy firepower, nearly 5,000 [***] rebels were blown up, and more than 3,000 people were killed and wounded.

When the last salvo of artillery was completed, the 155th Infantry Regiment of our counterinsurgency forces, under the cover of 6 tanks and 4 armored vehicles of the 6th Army, rushed into Norbulingka through the gates on all sides.

A "Destroyer" tank roared across the open area east of Norbulingka for the [***] lama to watch the show, and rumbled into the main entrance to the east of Norbulingka. It was followed by 1 "Raider armored car." Behind it was the infantry assault group of the 155th regiment, which followed closely.

The first generation of Tibetan soldiers who were guarding the bunker at the east gate of Norbulingka and were not killed by the bombing suddenly felt a strong vibration from the earth, and they couldn't help but stop what they were doing and looked around in horror. This vibration is getting louder and louder. Or an experienced officer of the Tibetan army, trained in the UK, stood up and shouted: "Tanks, tanks, tanks of the PLA!" The soldiers hiding in the civil bunkers were in a hurry, at a loss, some ran out, some hid in the fortifications and held their heads. The Tibetan soldiers who ran outside saw this steel monster with a long iron pipe and a rumbling sound in front of them. In the surprised eyes of the first generation of the Tibetan army's own officers and soldiers, this behemoth pressed past the pillbox where they had just stayed. Suddenly, the bunker collapsed, and the Tibetan troops who did not come out were crushed underneath, and they would never be able to come out again. The steel behemoth did not stop, ran over the corpses of its companions, passed through the front area of Norbulingka Palace, and advanced towards the deep palace area. The British-trained Tibetan officer pulled out a grenade and tried to throw it at the tank, when the machine gun on the armored vehicle following the tank went off. Immediately, the blood and flesh of the Tibetan army officer were blurred in the chest, and the grenade that he was pulling exploded in the Tibetan army. The infantry assault group of the counterinsurgency forces followed closely to clear the remnants of the enemy.
