"Battalion Commander Yang!" Then Division Commander Wu called me: "I heard that something is wrong with you, a soldier knocked off the hat of an Indian army officer. ＊,,”

"Yes!" I replied, "But it was an accident, and it was the Indian army that took the lead." ”

"Battalion Commander Yang!" Master Wu said with some nervousness in his tone: "Maybe you have just arrived in the Qinghai-Tibet High Plains and don't understand the tense situation in this border area, or maybe you are used to fighting and killing on the battlefield, so you don't pay attention to this matter at all. But the situation is different now, and the relationship between the two countries is already very tense, and anything could become the trigger for a war, so I don't think you are right to deal with it. ”

I know that Division Commander Wu has been quite polite to me, and I think this should be because I am the commander of the synthetic battalion, otherwise I would have been criticized a long time ago. But even so, I have to put forward my own different opinion.

"Report to the Divisional Commander!" I replied: "I think it is possible to avoid war only if you are not afraid of it or even prepare for it." The reason is very simple, the war is on both sides, not one side can blindly retreat to satisfy the other side, the war in '62 is a clear proof, our concession will only make the Indian army think that we are afraid of them, and in the end we have to start a self-defense counterattack to regain the territory that belongs to us. ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before responding, "What you said may be right, and this may be one of the reasons why your superiors sent you here to deal with this problem." But...... It's better to be cautious! ”

"Yes!" I answered.

When I hung up the phone, I was thinking that Master Wu's last sentence was meaningful. He had a point, and the reason why Commander Zhang sent our synthetic battalion to this border was not only because we were the only special forces force that could skillfully use air-ground coordination. It's all the more because of our strong fighting style.

This is not to say that the 319th Division stationed in Tibet is not tenacious enough in combat. It's just that they have been stationed at the border for too long to be in contact with the Indian army. Now, because our country is under pressure from both Vietnam and the Soviet Union, it does not dare to start a war lightly, so it is often in a weak position in the secret competition with the Indian army in the border area or psychologically.

It is obvious that there is a need for a balance of forces on the border, and as soon as our Indian army is weakened, it naturally feels that the opportunity has come, so it has the idea of taking advantage of the opportunity.

The advantages of the Synthesis Camp are...... We have never bowed our heads, and even now when we can't shoot in the face of India, we have a condescending mentality that no other army has to look down on the Indian army, which is exactly what is needed to balance the border forces or shock the Indian army.

After the "hat-beating" incident, the Indian army was still not convinced by us...... Like what was said before. Indians naturally feel good about themselves, most of them will not look for problems in themselves after defeat, their officers just said that the excellent performance of our snipers this time is "the squadron has more advanced sniper rifles" and "better luck", and even later I heard such a statement, that is, the Indians still do not care to say "it is just to practice marksmanship, if it is in the real battlefield, in the case of shells, bullets and life threats, the Chinese cannot fight so accurately." ”

I can't help but feel funny when I hear this, we will indeed be disturbed on the real battlefield, but the question is that the Indian army will not be disturbed? It's even obvious that one thing is. Our army is an elite soldier in a hundred battles, while almost no one in the Indian army has participated in actual combat. If there had been a war, it would have been obvious that they would have been disturbed much more than we did.

One of them is really right, that is, the SVD sniper rifle in our hands is indeed better than the 142 sniper rifle in the hands of the Indian army, but the Indian army completely ignores the fact that our army is farther away from the target and has a worse angle ratio, and in the second round we still hit the pole of the chest target.

It is not difficult to get an indication of the character of Indians from this point, that is, most of the time they will automatically ignore the things that are not good for their words, and only focus on the good side of themselves and magnify it.

It was even more exaggerated when they reported to their superiors, and the news intercepted by our intelligence officers was as follows: "Although the Chinese have better equipment and more favorable terrain than us, our army still defeated the squadron ** with excellent suzhì and indomitable will, so they fell behind in the shooting competition, so we have reason to believe that our army's su zhì is above the squadron, and the gap is not a little bit!" ”

When I saw this news, the instructor and I couldn't help but look at each other, and we couldn't imagine how the Indian devil could say such a thing, and in the end, it could only be attributed to the difference in culture or habits between the two countries...... We Chinese have no way of understanding what they do.

Or, the Indian officer wants to be appreciated and rewarded by his superiors, but this is a question of whether or not a war breaks out between countries, which is too child's play.

There are pros and cons to the Indian devil's report.

The advantage is that the original "hat-beating" incident is very likely to cause a political incident and continue to ferment, but if the Indian devils do not report this "ugly thing", there will be no such danger.

The downside is ...... We also want to use this incident to make the Indian high-level realize the gap in strength between the Indian army and our squadron, and they not only failed to achieve their goal, but instead spread in the other direction, that is, the Indian high-level was full of confidence and thought that they could defeat the squadron lightly.

"What should I do?" Staff Officer Li was also a little helpless in the face of this situation: "Do you want to ...... Through guò propaganda means to let the Indian army in other directions know the truth?! ”

"It's useless." I shook my head: "They can completely interpret it as a set of lies woven by the Chinese ** people who do not admit defeat or are not convinced, and other Indian armies will soon accept this statement." ”

Staff Officer Li nodded helplessly, he had been in contact with the Indian army for a long time, and he knew that the character of the Indian was like this.

It's not good or bad for this kind of character.

Well, there are many problems that they habitually ignore, and when they ignore them, they don't get solved, so the problems don't go to solving for a long time.

Say no...... On the other hand, this is a kind of optimism, or a kind of self-paralysis, which makes Indians able to "drink today and get drunk tomorrow" even if they are living in dire straits or facing a big crisis, which is one of the reasons why Indians are happy in the chaos of India.

This reminds me of what the U.S. military said to Indian mountain troops when they were conducting instructive operations in modern times: Indian soldiers are naturally good-feeling, and although they are quite stupid in mastering special mountain combat skills and tactical coordination, they are always self-righteous, and they argue with instructors in English that only they can understand, which creates a new problem - Indians often misinterpret the original meaning in a way that is beneficial to them.

In the end, the American instructor even said disdainfully, "Instead of using such soldiers to confront the squadron, it is better to take the initiative (to build relations with China)."

Of course, this is born in the modern era, that is, the modern era in which the United States has returned to the Asia-Pacific region and used India to counterbalance China.

In this era, the United States and we are still allies, so the United States does not want India to provoke a war with us at this time.

It was a big blow to me when I saw this news, because it also meant that all the intimidation actions of the Indian army in front of us would not work...... The reason is very simple, even if we scare the Indian army in front of us half to death, they can turn around and report to their superiors that they have won again, which means that this kind of threat will not be transmitted to the top of the Indian military at all.

From this point of view, these Indian devils really won a battle, because they used their shamelessness to make us achieve a tactical victory but a complete strategic defeat.

I pushed this issue to Commander Wu...... This is also the advantage of a battalion commander, if the decision-making problem can be solved, it will be solved, and if it cannot be solved, it will be pushed to the superiors, we just need to obey the order.

But Commander Wu didn't have a good way, he only gave an order: "Build fortifications and wait and see."

It seems that this can only be counted as one step at a time......

As a result, the Black Hawk helicopters frequently traveled back and forth between the outposts, bases, and warehouses under the mountain, constantly transporting all kinds of materials and supplies to the base on the plateau and our outposts.

Helicopters were a good thing, and soon our outpost had a scale, not only built various trenches, communication trenches, and watchtowers, but also built dormitories for living, and set up several anti-aircraft machine guns and small-caliber anti-aircraft guns on the commanding heights...... Obviously, this was used to deter the Indian army on the side of the Mi-26.

Later, I learned that the Black Hawks were much more than that, they had been transporting back and forth during this time, and within a month, they had completed the transportation and replenishment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for the previous year.

I couldn't help but be surprised when I heard this number, although the transportation of the Black Hawk is much more convenient than that of a car, but I did not expect that there would be such a big gap, twenty-four Black Hawks can complete the transportation volume of a year in a month.

However, when Staff Officer Li talked about the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, he knew the reason: The highway is nearly 2,000 kilometers long, and it has to climb over nine snow-capped mountains, cross more than 100 rivers, and pass through more than 500 kilometers of seismic activity areas, thunderstorm areas, and a thousand-year-old "permafrost layer." In addition, the load of the car has been reduced, and the car itself needs to consume fuel on the way, so there are very few supplies that can actually be transported by running back and forth. There are still many dangers during transportation, and the lives of more than 78o officers and soldiers have been left in this frozen soil forever for half a century.

Helicopters have much fewer problems in this regard, and the journey of more than 2,000 kilometers is mostly a matter of climbing altitude for helicopters, and the transportation time is short and the load capacity is also large, so the transportation tasks of the previous year can be completed in one month.
