"Carrying cannons on their backs, the Tibetans have an amazing load-bearing capacity!"This is a real story of the War of Resistance Against India, let's look back at this history together. In October 1962, our troops laid an ambush on the south bank of the Kejielang River, and in order to get to the north bank and install artillery, the soldiers faced many difficulties. There were no roads, vehicles could not pass, and all artillery and shells had to be transported by manpower and mules and horses. The veteran recalled that the task was extremely difficult, and the Indian army simply did not expect that our army would be able to overcome such extreme difficulties and lift 120 mortars to the position. The mortars were so heavy that it took six hours to carry them, and the shoulders of the fighters were crushed and bleeding. However, they stubbornly persisted, because the power of the 120 mortars was critical to the operation of our army. At an altitude close to 4000 meters, even recruits feel out of breath when they climb the slopes, let alone carry artillery. However, at that time, no one wanted to show weakness, and the recruits, together with the veterans, stubbornly carried the cannon up the mountain.

What is even more shocking is that the Tibetan people in Zhiqian are very capable of carrying weights, and their ability to bear huge weights is admirable!On the night of October 19, our army transported all 12 120 mortars and 82 mortars up the mountain and installed them in designated positions to prepare for the main offensive mission. At the same time, infantry units also arrived one after another, lurking on the north bank of the Kejielang River. On both sides of the river were primeval forests, which greatly facilitated the actions of our troops, and the veterans also followed the troops with ammunition to lurk. A distance of more than ten meters from our army is the position of the 7th Brigade of the Indian Army. Every move of the Indian army was watched by our soldiers, but the Indian army was unaware. This battle ended in the victory of our army, and this history is not only a tribute to the indomitable will and indomitable spirit of our soldiers, but also a testimony to the incomparable admiration of the Tibetan people in front of the Zhiqian. This history inspires us, let us remember those difficult times, and pay tribute to those selfless, brave and tenacious soldiers!In a sudden battle, deafening artillery rang out on both sides of the Kejielang River, and India's self-defense counterattack officially began. A recruit faced his first real combat under tense conditions, and due to a problem with reloading shells, he failed to complete the required number of firing tasks in just nine minutes.

This scene makes one worry about the unknown danger. But under the guidance of the veterans, the recruits quickly mastered the essentials of firing artillery, and the sound of our artillery fire woke up the still sleeping Indian troops, and they hurriedly fled from their positions. With the cessation of the shelling, our army began to pursue the Indian army, and the Indian army had no power to fight back, and the battle was as easy as fighting rabbits. Behind this battle, it is not only the cooperation of new and old soldiers, but also the advantages of our army's equipment and troops. First of all, the performance of the 56 and a half and 53 type infantry rifles equipped by our army is superior to that of the British rifles of the Indian army, which gives our army an absolute advantage on the battlefield. In terms of troops, firepower, and fighters, our army was also far ahead of the Indian army, which made the Indian army have no strength to fight back at all, and it was fiercely attacked by our army. This battle not only demonstrated the combat capability of our army, but also highlighted the unpreparedness of the Indian army. After waking up to the sound of artillery fire, the Indian troops fled their positions in a hurry, and some fled in a hurry before they even had time to get dressed. Forced by the pursuit of our army, the Indian army had no power to fight back, and was forced to flee all the way, and was unable to form an army. The victory in this battle not only came from the combat capability of our army, but also from the sudden surprise.

When the Indian army fell into chaos, our army quickly adjusted its tactics, continuously fired signal flares, decisively stopped the shelling, and the subsequent pursuit broke the resistance of the Indian army. The victory in this battle is not only a demonstration of strength, but also a test of the courage and courage of the soldiers. On the battlefield, the new and old soldiers worked together and charged ahead, showing the combat effectiveness and teamwork ability of our army. This battle was undoubtedly a victory for our army and a powerful blow to the Indian army. Through this battle, we have not only demonstrated the great strength of our army, but also sent a strong warning to the Indian army: Any form of aggression and provocation will be resolutely counterattacked by our army. The Indian soldiers only knew how to run away, and they did not dare to fight back at all. We simply aimed at the place where the Indian soldiers appeared. In the beginning, we fought in squad sequences and battle groups, but in the end it was all messed up. Some soldiers even went to the territory that other companies were responsible for, and when they finally summed up the results of the battle, they had to credit others for their achievements. The Battle of Kejielang was originally planned to be fought for three days, and the opponent was the ace brigade of the ace division of the Indian army, and there were many experienced veterans in the army.

Unexpectedly, our army solved the battle in only one day, annihilated nearly 2,000 enemies, and captured Brigadier General Dalvi of the 7th Brigade of the Indian Army. Brigadier General Dalvi hid in the dense forest on the mountain after the rout, and had to go down the mountain to forage for food when he was hungry, but unfortunately ran into our troops and was captured. One veteran described Dalvi as "a senior officer at first glance when he was dressed, followed by an orderly with a sleeping cover on his head." There is a clear hierarchy in the Indian army. After being captured, Dalvi kept complaining: "The bearded soldiers were defeated by the child soldiers!."He also questioned the "irregularity" of our army's fighting, saying that they were attacked from behind by our army while they were sleeping. The veteran recalled the scene when our troops made a detour from the side to the back of the Indian side to bomb the bunker: "Their bunker was really poorly repaired, only there were gun holes on the front, not on the back. We blew up 27 bunkers of the Indian army in one squad!This class was later awarded the collective first-class merit and was awarded the honorary title of "Yang Ting'an" class by the Ministry of National Defense.

After the end of the battle of the blitzkrieg on Kejielang, the 32nd Regiment and Unit 419 of the 11th Division, where the veterans belonged, followed the telegram of the General Staff and pursued the remnants of the Indian Army in the areas of Qiu Sanmou, Longbu, Jimitang and Shuibangqiao in four directions at 18 o'clock in the afternoon of October 21.

History will also have a profound impact on people's way of thinking and behavioral Xi, such as the legal system and etiquette culture of Western countries, which are deeply rooted in the soil of history. In addition to its impact on individuals and society, history also plays an important role in the world landscape and international relations. From ancient times to the present, wars, political alliances, and exchanges have all been affected by history.
