Click, click, click, the second hand was beating second by second, Gao Shouqing put the Type 51 automatic rifle against the Indian officer's chest, and the bearded lieutenant of the Indian army pointed the pistol at Gao Shouqing's head. The two sides are silently holding each other. This confrontation will end after 5 minutes. 5 minutes of thinking time, Gao Shouqing is not talking about playing. He mentally counts down. As time passed, his index finger had already caught the second fire of the trigger of the automatic rifle, and after 5 minutes he would shoot without hesitation, which had been arranged when he came. Gao Shouqing's firmness and self-determination, his eyes as if he were at home, made the last bit of resistance in the heart of the bearded lieutenant of the Indian army completely collapse.

These Indian officers and soldiers who have never fought any battles, after all, cannot be compared with Gao Shouqing, who has been through bullets, rain, blood, and death, and the bearded lieutenant of the Indian army put down his pistol decadently and loudly ordered his soldiers to put down their guns. and tied up the troublemaker who had run to their position, the Tibetan provincial, and handed it over to the Chinese governor. Then he said to Gao Shouqing: "Honorable sir, I can hand over this damn murderer to you, but you know, whether we leave here or not, it is not up to me, a lieutenant, to decide, please understand." ”

Gao Shouqing did not relax his vigilance at all, and the moment when people relax is the most dangerous moment. He still held his gun tightly against the Indian lieutenant and said, "Let your soldiers put down their guns, stand under the wall, and don't make any unnecessary movements, otherwise it will be fatal to them." Gao Shouqing knew that the sniper Shi Lei was behind him, and he was protected from a hidden place less than 100 meters, and any inappropriate actions of these Indian soldiers might be understood by Shi Lei as a threat to his deputy company commander.

The bearded lieutenant of the Indian army repeated Gao Shouqing's order to his soldiers. These Indian soldiers were moved and sincerely admired by the bravery of this Chinese, and no one dared to challenge this bravery.

After a while, two Indian soldiers escorted the bound [***] rebel over, and Gao Shouqing said to the Indian bearded lieutenant: "Mr. lieutenant, you have worked hard to lead this murderer to us to go through the formalities of handing over the fugitives." ”

The Indian bearded lieutenant looked at the small machine gun on top of his chest, and reluctantly took the rope that led the [***] rebel, and followed Gao Shouqing back to the mountain occupied by the [***] people.

The [***] rebel might have seen the corpse of his fellow fallen on the side of the path, or something had irritated him, but he suddenly broke free from the bearded lieutenant's rope and ran up the hill on the other side. "Da, da, da," Gao Shouqing casually shot at the back of the [***] rebel's heart. The bound [***] rebel fell to the ground with a mouth of mud, kicked his leg and never moved again.

Gao Shouqing turned to look at the panicked Indian lieutenant calmly. The bearded lieutenant also stood there dumbfounded and looked at him, he saw that the Indian bearded lieutenant's legs were trembling violently, he patted the Indian bearded lieutenant who was frightened by the point and said, "It's not your responsibility, it's just that he doesn't want to live anymore." Then he smiled and said, "Your handover is complete, and you can leave." Before you leave here, I tell you, and through you the authorities, that you must leave all of southern Tibet, out of the area north of the Brahmapudra River, or else," he said, shaking his head at the body of the [***] rebel who had fallen to the ground, "it will be like him." I also know that this matter is not something that you, the lieutenant, say and don't count, but your own life or death is up to you. I see that you are a good person, and tell you that the policy of our Chinese People's Liberation Army is to surrender guns and not kill. I don't tell ordinary people, you know? It's up to you how to do it. Okay, you're back. After saying that, he smiled very kindly at the Indian bearded lieutenant, and swaggered back to his position with the Type 51 automatic rifle on his back.

The bearded lieutenant was really a little stupefied. He really saw what it means to kill people without blinking an eye today, this tough [***] person, as ordinary as drinking saliva, kills a person in an instant, the shot is so fast, the heart is so calm, and the expression is so calm, to a precise killing machine. He was very glad that he was smart just now, and he didn't act rashly, otherwise he would have died even worse than this Tibetan person. Can the Indian army compete with such an army? What will the outcome of the contest look like? He couldn't help but look at the corpse lying quietly in the dust.

When the bearded lieutenant returned to his position, he reported the situation to his superiors and asked to evacuate the place, because it was impossible for the Indian army to defeat such a well-equipped and murderous army. The result can be imagined, and I got a burst of scolding. Major General Prashad, commander of the 4th Division, personally sent him a telegram, "My heroic Red Eagle Unit, the 4th Division, is the most famous ace unit of the Indian Army, once part of the British 8th Army under Marshal Montgomery, and a glorious unit that participated in World War II, and as the commander of this unit, I am responsible for the honor of this unit. He conveyed Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's important speech on the border issue at a meeting of senior officers of the Indian Army: "Borders are the most sensitive nerves between countries. It is not only directly related to the growth and decline of the territory of the two sides, but also directly touches the dignity of the country and the nation. For this reason, India has no choice but to fight to the end. The newly appointed commander of the Indian Army's 4th Army, Kaul, rushed to Dispur and made arrangements for the commander of the 4th Division, Prashad, on how the division could strengthen the defense of the Tawang area and continue to advance northward, and then arrived at Jimitang by Soviet-made Mi-4 helicopter. In the Fourth Army Chief of Staff Ka. Brigadier General Singh and Major General Prashad walked from Jimitang to the Tuodong Forward in the Kejielang area via Longbu, where they directly listened to a briefing by the bearded lieutenant Kopilar, and after a detailed survey of the terrain in the Tuodong area, he sent Lieutenant Colonel Moprashad, who had special reliance on him, to lead a battalion of the Assam Rifles to reinforce the Tuodong Frontier outpost. This increased the number from 65 to 498.

After Gao Shouqing returned, he received instructions from the regiment: "Don't take the initiative to attack for the time being, monitor the activities of the Indian army on the opposite side, report the situation at any time, and resolutely counterattack if the Indian army provokes." ”

At noon the next day, the transport helicopters of the Army Aviation Regiment brought in reinforcements for them. Lianli sent again, 4 anti-aircraft machine gunners with two Type 51 14,5 mm high-level dual-purpose machine guns, 4 40 bazooka fighters brought 2 more 40 bazookas, 4 Pyro. also brought some ammunition supplies, a total of 12 people, so that the deputy company commander Gao Shouqing was promoted from squad leader to platoon commander, and there were 40 soldiers in the squad under him.

Gao Shouqing, a small team of the People's Liberation Army, helped Dongping Zhizhu deal with the funeral at home, avenged him, and made him grateful. Gao Shouqing saw that his house was quite spacious and close to Tudong, so he arranged the headquarters in his house, and the People's Liberation Army made him the militia captain of this small village. This made his ancestors, who had never been an official for generations, feel that this was a matter of green smoke from the ancestral tomb and a big face. In order to repay the People's Liberation Army's endless kindness to him, he said that he worked for the People's Liberation Army day and night, repairing fortifications, roads, and transporting materials. Organized militia patrols, stood guard and sentry, carried an American M1 rifle all day long, and became a busy person in more than a dozen families in this village, and finally even the Tibetan mastiff that followed him all day long was tired, and he didn't like to run up and down the mountain with him. This also laid a good foundation for him to become the secretary of the party committee of the Tawang Prefectural Party Committee in the future.

The Chinese People's Liberation Army won the victory of counterinsurgency in Tibetan Province. This suddenly made Sino-Indian relations tense. The sudden appearance of the Chinese team in a strategic location on the Sino-Indian border overnight made the whole of India feel even more frightened.

India's Jawaharlal Nehru political axe faced an unprecedented pressure in the face of China's rising China, and he felt unprecedented tension. This tension is understandable to all politicians. No country wants its country to be surrounded by strong enemies, and every day it is like walking on thin ice, looking at the faces of its strong neighbors in the geopolitical environment, and hoping that its country is surrounded by some weak countries and nations, or a divided nation and state, and this is the best geopolitical environment for a country.

Of course, India is no exception, and they are very fortunate to have such a good neighbor and partner as China. A nation that does not seek progress is full of all kinds of contradictions, and there are many domestic problems that can never be resolved. A big country that is always in a state of internal fragmentation, consuming almost all its strength on internal fighting, groveling externally and ruthless internally, and scattered. Thousands of years of Confucian culture have created a nation that does not have the world's most blood surname, and can only expand itself by relying on its own huge group, and vigorous reproductive ability, infinite tolerance for various cultures, and infinite patience that no other nation in the world can imagine. Its vast territory is not won by its own struggles, but by the legacy of the conquest of this vast empire by foreign peoples, which was finally assimilated.

The temporary strength of New China is only a genetic mutation in the long history of China. In the face of this change, China and India are separated by the limits of human beings, crossing the Himalayas and the foothills of the Karakoram Mountains. But India's ambitious politician Jawaharlal Nehru is still reassuring about China's behemoth. He wanted the Tibetan province adjacent to his country to remain the same forever. An ignorant, backward Tibetan province is in India's strategic interests: politically, a Tibetan province under theocratic supremacy and feudal serf-owner rule poses no threat to India; Economically, Tibetan Province, which has extremely low productivity, depends to a large extent on India, and India can achieve its goal of controlling Tibet Province through economic infiltration. Out of such geopolitical considerations, the Indian authorities instigated the upper ruling class of Tibet Province to do everything possible to obstruct the People's Liberation Army from entering Tibet Province before the People's Republic of China was founded, in a vain attempt to separate Tibet Province from China and turn it into a vassal of India. In response to this, the Xinhua News Agency published an editorial on 2 September 1949 entitled "Never Allow Foreign Aggressors to Annexe China's Territory -- Tibet Province," which clearly pointed out: "Tibet Province is China's territory, and no invasion of Tibet Province is an inalienable part of the Chinese people, and no foreign country is allowed to divide it." This is the unswerving policy of the Chinese people and the Chinese People's Liberation Army."

When the Chinese People's Liberation Army marched into Tibet Province to complete the great cause of China's reunification, the Indian authorities saw that no plan could survive and clinged to the illusion of turning Tibet Province into a "buffer zone" in an attempt to incite Tibet Province to be nominally autonomous but in fact to become a political entity with reading power. And the upper ruling class of [***] Tibetan Province also wanted to maintain its backward serfdom, fearing that its rule would be overthrown. In this way, the reactionary upper ruling classes in India and Tibet coincided in their efforts to uphold serfdom in Tibet. India hoped for the establishment of the West, but the upper-level reactionary clique in Tibet Province needed to find a backstage boss for the West, so the two families openly and covertly colluded with each other and began separatist activities with the aim of "establishing the West."

Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru has also repeatedly encouraged the leaders of [***] that India and China have signed an agreement to recognize that Tibetan Province belongs to China, but if China exceeds the scope of the agreement, we cannot sit idly by and watch Tibet Province have problems.

The Chinese People's Liberation Army put down the [***] rebellion in one fell swoop, and tens of thousands of troops of the PLA swept away the [***] elements in the border areas bordering China and India, China and Nepal. Controls all strategic points along the borders of the region. It has completely changed the situation of having no borders on the Sino-Indian border for many years. It seriously affected Nehru's great power ambitions to expand outside the team. A truly huge military bloc appeared in front of India, and the troops were under the city, like a steel knife that could be chopped down at any time. In addition, the revolutionary struggle led by India [***] (Maoism) in northern India is surging, and the revolutionary wave has the potential to sweep across the country, and the situation in India is constantly escalating. Taken together, these two points are fatal to India. It is intolerable and unacceptable in India! Jawaharlal Nehru, then Prime Minister of India, felt as if he was sitting on top of a volcano that was about to erupt in full force.

The [***] (Maoist) revolutionary movement in India with the aim of overthrowing the political axe was supported by China, and the Western [***] movement was bloodily suppressed by China. The behemoth of China is coming to India. The two Asian powers finally met face-to-face in the Himalayas. All this, he, Nehru, could not sit idly by. He's going to take care of it, he's going to confront China, he's going to fight back against China.

On March 17, Jawaharlal Nehru said at the Lok Sabha in India that it was true that the friendly relations between India and China, which have a long history, had been greatly damaged in the past week, which was regrettable. "China has reneged on their promise of autonomy in Tibetan Province, India is very sympathetic to Tibetan Province, what happened in Tibetan Province is a hurt to India's feelings, India cannot have a "blind" attitude towards the Tibetan Province issue, and we cannot turn a blind eye to the aggression of the Chinese [***] team that crossed the McMahon Line and entered the territory of our country in the name of chasing down the fighters of the Tibetan Provincial National Reading Movement, and we must resolutely stop and fight back.

On March 18, in the conference room of the Indian Ministry of Defence, according to the instructions of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's cabinet, an operational meeting was underway on how to counterattack China. The meeting was chaired by Menon, India's defense minister, who is also a civilian official. The meeting was attended by the Chief of the Army General Staff, General Thalpar, the former Chief of Army Staff, Colonel Timaiya, the newly appointed commander of the 4th Army of the Indian Army, Lieutenant General Kaul, and the commander of the 33rd Army, Umraou. Lieutenant General Singh, commander of the 4th Indian Division, Nilan Dan. Major General Prashad, Assistant to the General Staff Major General Dillon, Chief of Operations of the General Staff, Brigadier General Parlet. In addition, there are several civilian officials, Cabinet Secretaries, Secretaries of the Ministry of Defense, Director General of Indian Intelligence Malik, etc.

Menon stood at one end of the conference table and looked majestically around the generals who were carrying gold flowers on their shoulders and hanging diagonally with ribbons and said: "I am entrusted by Prime Minister Nehru to preside over this meeting, and I have ordered the General Staff to formulate an operational plan for counterattacking the [***] team to suppress the Chinese's snooping on Indian territory." I would now like to invite Brigadier General Pallet, Chief of the Operations Division of the General Staff, to read out this operational plan.

Next, Chief of Operations Palit preached the tasks and main points of the operation, that in the east, the Tagle Ridge should be occupied and the Squadron should be driven out of the Taglaga Mountains, and in the west, the Squadron would uproot the stronghold set up there by the Squadron and occupy all the disputed Aksai Chin area to cut off their new Tibetan road. In order to strengthen the military forces in the east, the newly appointed commander of the Indian Army's 4th Army, Lieutenant General Kaul, will personally go to the northeast border to take command. Prepare for the attack as soon as possible.

Brigadier General Palit had just finished speaking, and Admiral Timaiya knocked on the table with his hand and said: "This plan is simply a talisman for India, and I would like to remind all the senior military generals present here to pay full attention to China as a country with thermonuclear weapons, even if this is aside." I would like to ask you, why are we fighting against the [***] squadron that was able to sweep the united [***] on the Korean battlefield six years ago?" He glanced at Lieutenant General Kaul with contempt, and then said, "Is it just these scraps of paper in your hand?" India absolutely must not engage in any military provocation against China. Otherwise, it will only bring ruin to India. ”

"When, when, when," Lieutenant General Kaul also knocked on the table and said loudly, "General Timaiya, please speak with respect, this battle plan was carefully formulated by me and the Chief of the Army Staff, Admiral Thapar. As for the nonsense you just said, I would like to correct one of your erroneous concepts, China cannot yet be called a country with thermonuclear weapons, and everyone has seen the news that China conducted a thermonuclear test in Xinjiang Province on March 15, and it is uncertain whether the test is a thermonuclear device or a thermonuclear weapon. According to my analysis, this is just one step by China to divert the attention of the international community from the massacre they carried out in Tibetan province. Kaul, who graduated from the Royal High Military Academy in Sandhurst, England, said very arrogantly: "You don't understand this point!" Regarding the question you said that the Chinese defeated the United [***] on the Korean battlefield 6 years ago. I also remind you that it was with the help of the powerful Soviet Union, and the war was fought in the most industrially developed regions from China. The battlefield we set up is thousands of miles away from the hinterland of China, and it is all over 14,000 feet of endless alpine and snowy fields. How are their forces mobilized? Lieutenant General Kaul looked at the former Chief of Staff of the Army, Admiral Timaia, with the same contempt, and said, "It is a disgrace for a soldier to not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the motherland." ”

Timaia silently thought in his heart: Kaul's greatest characteristic is that he is boastful, he has never commanded a combat unit, and after graduating from Sandhurst, he has been moving back and forth between the arms headquarters by virtue of his in-law relationship with Nehru, and has been moving higher and higher and climbed to the current high position. This time, he was selected to serve as the commander of the Fourth Army as the director of the General Staff Bureau who did not have any actual combat experience, and directly commanded the front-line field troops. Nehru, who made this decision, should be hanged.

"China's strong military strength will not be insignificant because of your contempt," Timaiya pursed her lips and sneered: "What are you, have you really been on the battlefield?" Did you really command a battle? You can't win a war with your clever mouth. It is a pity that Mr. Nehru has put this military operation, which is at stake in the fate of the country, into the hands of a bunch of idiots like you. ”

Indian Defense Minister Menon, who presided over the meeting, frowned and warned Timeyer: "General Timeyea, this is a combat meeting, not a parliament where you can carry out personal attacks at will, you can disagree with their plan, but you can't reject it entirely. Menon went on to say: "We are inferior to China in many aspects such as economy and national defense, and there is no way to make up for this gap in a short period of time; it is precisely for this reason that Prime Minister Nehru, who is incomparably wise, has formulated a two-faced policy in his relations with China; on the one hand, he has been constantly emphasizing the development of Sino-Indian relations and winning international support, but in fact he has taken measures to strengthen China's military strength on the border and curb their aggressive expansion." ”

"You know, everyone in India is getting impatient right now, accusing our army of inaction. Why not kick the Chinese out. Many newspapers have scolded our army for being cowards who do not work," said the Chief of the Army General Staff, General Tapar, who looked at Timaiya and said, "Old General Timaia, you are idle." If we can bear it, we can't do it, if we don't act, the political axe will fall, this is politics, you know?"

Timaia looked at the officers gathered around the conference table, and except for a little comfort from the sympathetic gaze of Lieutenant General Singh, the rest were indifferent cold eyes and a scorn at the corners of his mouth. In despair, he said: "I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand those disgusting and dirty politics!" I only know that war is not a child's game, and that India is doomed to defeat if India and China go to war. And some of you will be held accountable for this failure."

Former Chief of Army Staff, General Timaiya, a veteran of the army, has always kept an eye on the military situation in the north of India, a country that has many similarities with India. Since the 25,000-mile Long March of the Chinese Workers' Red Army, he has begun to study the Chinese [***] led from small to large, from weak to strong, courageous, invincible, invincible and invincible. When he heard about Kaul's bullshit plan, he felt both pathetic and ridiculous. This is just a game of rats to the cat as a companion, once the cat is impatient, the light one plays you all over the body, and the heavy one bites the mouse that is not self-sufficient. He seemed to see the strong squadron [***] interspersed between the mountains and mountains, suddenly appeared behind the Indian army, interspersed with the already very weak army, threw grenades into the Indian soldiers' piles, inserted bayonets into the chests of the Indian soldiers, wiped out all the Indian border troops, and then carried forward the spirit of continuous combat and pursued the victory

Moved and helpless that he could not prevent this terrible situation from happening, he slowly stood up, faced Menon with his eyes closed, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Minister, wake up from your dream!" Like a ferocious Bengal tiger, the squadron is hiding in the jungle, ready to burst out at any moment and tear us to pieces. Think of Chiang Kai-shek's eight million troops, think of the US Eighth Army on the Korean battlefield, think of the rebellion in Tibetan Province that had just been suppressed! I don't want to say it, but I can't help but say that the Chinese [***] team is a thousand times better than us. ”

Perhaps it was this last sentence that greatly hurt the fragile self-esteem of all the senior generals present. Suddenly, a scolding rang out in the conference room: "Shut your crow's mouth" and "You are not worthy of being a soldier!" "Traitor!" "Get out!"

Timaia clinged to the last glimmer of hope, hoping that the civilian defense minister, Menon, would have a shred of sanity.

Menon didn't raise his head or open his eyes, but waved his hand outward, and said like a fly: "Timaia, you are indeed old, what are you talking about, you can go." ”

While the Indian army is studying a counterattack against China, the sword of the Tibetan Provincial Corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army has been quietly unsheathed, and the Tibetan Provincial Corps is ready for an all-out attack on India.

Deng Feng's logic is very simple, instead of letting the world endlessly accuse China of aggression and belligerence, it is better to let the world simply show the world what China really looks like. His goal was not to cross the McMahon Line and teach the Indians a lesson in a counterattack on the Sino-Indian border. He thought it was a big pot of raw rice made by the fire, and let the later people eat it slowly and swallow it slowly, which was originally a difficult meal. No matter what it is, the so-called "border counterattack war" will not solve any problem except to create an unforgettable national hatred between the peoples of the two countries. If you want to do it, you don't do it, you don't stop doing it, and you can do it thoroughly. Even if the cost is higher, the cost is high, and he has drawn his sword to give India a complete major surgery.
