In 1987, the Indian army surrounded the border guards, and the war was about to break out, why did the last 60 seconds order the withdrawal of troops?
In 1987, India ignored China's territorial sovereignty in the areas bordering China and Xinjiang, and forcibly established military bases in the militaryly sensitive areas of China and India, located on the Sino-Indian border"McMahon Line"The north side belongs to the territory of our country.
This series of cross-border acts by India not only challenges the authority of our country, but also illegally occupies China's territory. Worryingly, the Tagram ridge is the highest point of the Sino-Indian border mountain range, which allows India to monitor China's military deployment on the border with an unobstructed view, seriously violating China's military privacy.
On the Tagle Ridge, the provocations of the Central ** side against India will never back down. Immediately send troops to the Wangdong area to provide military support. The commander-in-chief of the Indian military, Admiral Sanjid, also urgently mobilized the strength of a division to prepare for support.
The Chinese and Indian armies were about to face each other, but just 60 seconds before the battle broke out, the Indian military suddenly received an order to "withdraw immediately", a move that was confusing.
Follow to review the past highlights and don't miss the future content] India's invasion and occupation of Chinese territory began as early as the 50s of the 20th century. Britain used colonial tactics to turn India into its own colony and planted a time bomb of unidentified territory on the Sino-Indian border.
At that time, Britain was bent on expanding its territory in Southeast Asia, so it secretly operated India** and instigated the Indian army to invade the Sino-Indian border territory. In 1951, when China had no spare strength to deal with the issue of border power struggle, India took advantage of the tension of foreign aid from China and openly seized the 90,000 square kilometers of Chinese territory south of the "McMahon Line" on its natural border, and even provoked a contradiction between China and China.
In the face of India's provocation, China chose to restrain the urge to send troops, but adhered to the foreign policy of "Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence" put forward by China, and sent diplomats to India for dialogue, hoping to resolve the border and territorial issues through peaceful means.
Although China was facing military tensions in a foreign war at that time, the squadron had been actively advancing the liberation of China's border areas. Although India was behind the instigation and support, under China's policy of "fighting as the next policy, peace talks as the best policy", it was finally peacefully liberated in 1959, which destroyed the beautiful dream of India's "expansionism" in the region.
The squadron pays attention to "courtesy and exchange", but this time they chose to resolve the dispute through peaceful dialogue.
In the face of China's patience and generosity, India** believes that China is still timid and weak, so it is pressing step by step. In just two years, India has established 43 military positions on the Chinese border, and has trumpeted that the squadron has been "driven back two miles", and even congratulated Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on his "Napoleonic" victory.
On October 12, 1962, Nehru resolutely rejected China's proposal for a "peaceful settlement of the border issue." He sent the Indian Defense Minister to the Indian border city of Tizpur on the Sino-Indian border, where he made an intensive military deployment and declared war on China.
In the face of India's repeated provocations, China has shown great tolerance and forgiveness. However, now that a series of actions by India have seriously threatened the security of China's borders, China could not bear it anymore and immediately dispatched 40,000 squadrons to confront the invading 300,000 Indian troops.
At the same time, the Military Commission gave instructions on the counterattack, emphasizing that this operation is related to the dignity of the country and the reputation of the army, and victory must be ensured. After receiving the instructions, the Xinjiang border troops immediately entered a combat state, divided into east and west routes, and adopted the combat strategy of "outflanking on both flanks, detouring around the flanks, dividing and encircling, and annihilating one by one", and annihilated all six brigades of the Indian army with a thunderous momentum, and won the victory in the counterattack.
The Sino-Indian border self-defense counterattack is the first armed conflict between China and India, known as the "Sino-Indian border self-defense counterattack war" in history, and is known as the "war of Warong" in India.
In this battle, the Indian army suffered heavy losses, with 4,897 killed and 3,968 captured, five times more than our army. Adhering to the position of "opposing the use of force to change the status quo on the border", China took the initiative to withdraw its troops from India and negotiate with India again.
However, India has repeatedly challenged China's bottom line. However, what is unexpected is that the Indian army, which has always been the main battle, took the initiative to withdraw its troops before the Chinese and Indian troops were about to fight, and once again bowed to our army.
What's the secret behind this? The inroads along the Sino-Indian border have sparked renewed clashes. As the direct successor of the Gandhi family, Injla Gandhi was elected prime minister of India, reviving her father Nehru's "forward policy", setting her sights on China's southern Tibetan region, and signing a military deployment for the Indian Army in the Sino-Indian border area.
The plan was ostensibly a normal management of the Indian Army, but in reality it concealed Injla Gandhi's attempts to strengthen the military presence along the border with India.
In 1983, Injera Gandhi's illness worsened and she realized that life was short. As a result, she was anxious to realize the territorial expansion plans she had made, hoping that by her deathbed she would be able to push the Sino-Indian border line to the Himalayan watershed in the McMahon Line region.
Injla Gandhi first dispatched the Chief of Indian Military Staff, General Rao, to assess the current Sino-Indian military strength, and then cautiously deployed troops in the Sino-Indian border area, while at the same time building a large number of Indian military facilities in the border area under the pretext of building defense facilities to ensure the complete occupation of this area.
While receiving intelligence from the Chinese side, India also sent spies to infiltrate the Chinese border guard department for reconnaissance. India's preparations are nearing completion, but the sudden death of Indian Prime Minister Injla Gandhi has left India in political turmoil and plans to invade China on hold.
Soon after, as the third generation of the Gandhi family, Injera's son, Rajiv Gandhi, became prime minister. However, the scandal of the Gandhi family's cronies and defrauding India's defense investment was **, which led to the loss of Rajiv's prestige in the country and frequent political civil unrest in India.
In order to divert public attention from the scandal, the hawks led by Rajiv once again turned their attention to the border areas of China, determined to use the Sino-Indian conflict as a prelude to restore Rajiv's political position in India by special means.
In August 1985, Rajiv restarted"Invasion of China"The plan was to secretly send troops into the Wangdong area of southern Tibet and establish a military base on the Tagra ridge to facilitate the military deployment of Chinese border guards.
At the same time, the Chief of Staff of the Army, General Sendeji, reused the Nehru period"Forward Policy", proudly said to **: We respectfully abide by the former Prime Minister Nehru"Forward Policy"Once a war starts, we will never bring artillery fire to the homeland, and the best time and place is on the territory of the invader.
Subsequently, the news of the occupation of the heights by the Indian army spread, and the Chinese side responded by sending 3 companies of troops to the Wangdong area. Since then, China and India have started a new round of head-on confrontation since the Battle of Walong.
And it was the ambitious Indian army that provoked this incident, and they shot and wounded one of our deputy battalion commanders on the spot, causing the deputy battalion commander to lose blood and go into shock.
This undoubtedly aroused the wrath of our army, who, with their overwhelming combat effectiveness, repelled the Indian army and seized the high ground.
In the first confrontation after many years, China's border guards showed amazing combat effectiveness, leaving the Indian army with nowhere to hide. However, this is only part of India's plans, and their bigger intentions are yet to come.
On December 8, 1986, India established a "puppet Arunachal Pradesh" on illegally occupied Chinese territory, and even set up more than 10 bases in the disputed areas between China and India, despite warnings from the Chinese side.
The most excessive thing is that in less than two months, the Indian army has successively deployed 12 divisions and five fighter squadrons in the Kejielang area, and has also carried out military exercises on the border with impunity.
India's series of actions made China unbearable, and China made it clear that it would either cooperate for a win-win situation or fight happily, just as it did in 1962, and China would never allow any country to invade so recklessly.
Subsequently, the Chinese side began to prepare a corresponding military counterattack.

Subsequently, 12 Jian-7 fighters belonging to the 33rd Division of the Chengdu Military Region landed at Lhasa Airport, and the rest of the fighters and bombers also entered the plateau area one after another.
The army and air forces of China's Chengdu Military Region and Lanzhou Military Region have entered a state of readiness in an all-round way, and World War II between China and India is on the verge of breaking out.

The army and air forces of China's Chengdu Military Region and Lanzhou Military Region have entered a state of readiness in an all-round way, and World War II between China and India is on the verge of breaking out. At this critical juncture, Indian Prime Minister Rajiv mentioned a possible solution: a peaceful one.
However, the Indian military was not satisfied with this, and they said that as long as India dared to attack, the squadron would accompany them to the end. In the face of such a tough attitude, Rajiv could only retreat, while the Chinese border guards responded firmly, they will continue military exercises and are ready to fight at any time.
At a time of tension on the Sino-Indian border, a loud bang in Lop Nur in China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region calmed those planning a war. It turned out that on June 5, our country successfully conducted the latest nuclear test, which was comparable to 6Level 2**, which became the most powerful nuclear test since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
This nuclear explosion caused great panic in the Indian military. If China uses nuclear weapons on the Sino-Indian border battlefield, the Indian army will not be able to cope and may even face a catastrophe in which no one will survive.
Therefore, in the first 60 seconds of the upcoming war between China and India, the Indian military urgently issued an order to withdraw its troops, and made it clear that India's actions against ** will be completely limited to the defensive scope and must not be violated without knowing whether China is using nuclear **.
At the same time, India** also followed the decision of the Ministry of Defense, requiring the Indian army not to provoke China, and announced that it would not increase its troops at the border. These measures have stabilized the situation on the Sino-Indian border.
In July 1987, Indian Prime Minister Rajiv instructed Minister Tiwari to go to Beijing to negotiate with the CCP on the Sino-Indian border conflict. Tiwari conveyed Prime Minister Rajiv's earnest wishes, saying that India fully accepts China's previous proposal for a peaceful settlement of the border issue, and hopes that this peace talks can break the deadlock between China and India and realize the original intention of peaceful coexistence between China and India.
Adhering to the principle of "peacefully resolving all issues," China immediately accepted India's request for peace talks. In this Sino-Indian border conflict, although the squadron did not fight directly, it won the victory without a fight, and Sino-Indian relations began to change.
Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's visit to China as scheduled eased the tensions between the two countries over the past 34 years and opened a new chapter in cooperation. This suggests that the best way to resolve the border crisis may not be "strong military power and appropriate armed struggle."
