High-quality author list Review: In the self-defense counterattack against India, who were the top generals killed in the war between China and India? In the past self-defense counterattack against India, some Indians naively believed that their few soldiers could withstand the Chinese army. This miscalculation led to a miscalculation of the outcome of the battle, which ultimately cost them dearly.
The truth is brutal. In that war, the squadron showed great combat effectiveness and unparalleled unity. They showed indomitable will and tenacious fighting spirit to push the Indian army into a desperate situation.
And in this war, it is worth mentioning who are the top generals of China and India who died in the war?
In 1962, China** showed remarkable restraint and wisdom in the invasion of Chinese territory by the Indian army. In the face of provocations, China has chosen a calm attitude, focusing on self-defense and not taking drastic counter-action lightly. This restraint is not weak, but based on well-thought-out strategic considerations, which has maintained regional stability and people's security.
China's measures are based on an accurate judgment of the situation and a responsible attitude towards national interests. In the face of provocation, the choice of forbearance is not out of timidity, but in the hope that the situation will not deteriorate further through restraint. This posture demonstrates China's responsibility and high responsibility as a major country, and shows a mature and rational national image.
At the same time, India's restraint in China is misinterpreted as weakness, but in fact it is a misreading of Chinese wisdom. China's restraint is not incompetent, but based on consideration of the country's long-term interests and a responsible attitude towards peace and stability. The verbal and written criticism of the Indian ** circles reflects the misunderstanding and prejudice of China, rather than an objective analysis.
After all, China's patience is limited. In the face of India's provocation and aggression, China finally had to respond. In this battle, the top generals who died on both sides also showed the verdict of victory and defeat.
The supreme general killed on the Indian side was Brigadier General Hoshir.
Brigadier General Khoshir was a rising star in the Indian army, born on December 1, 1921. In 1944, after graduating from military school, he immediately joined the Anglo-Indian army.
On November 12, 1962, Guo Zhixian's troops, totaling more than 400 people, successfully reached 5 kilometers east of Shen Gezong after three days of rapid marching, and successfully annihilated the mobile post of the Indian army. Then, they made their way through the jungle of the canyon and continued their advance. At the same time, most of the soldiers of the 62nd Indian Brigade were warming themselves in the fire, without any sense of vigilance.
By 18 November, Guo Zhixian's troops had successfully reached Llomadong. When the Indian 62nd Brigade retreated to Llomadong after the West Pass, it happened to fall into the ambush circle of the squadron. Brigadier General Hoshir, who had been promoted to the commander of the 62nd Brigade at that time, took the lead in running in the direction of Derangzong regardless of the life and death of his soldiers.
The squadron first destroyed the vanguard vehicles of the Indian army and blocked the road, and then launched a fierce attack that scattered the remnants of the Indian 62nd Brigade. In desperation, Brigadier General Hoshir had to lead the rout to charge towards the hill controlled by the squadron, in an attempt to open a passage to the south. During this period, the Chinese and Indian soldiers engaged in fierce white-knuckle battles, and the fighting morale of the Indian army was completely destroyed.
The fighting continued until the evening of the 19th, when a desperate Brigadier General Hoshir abandoned his troops and led the guards along the trail to Bhutan, attempting to make a detour back to India. His luck was not good, as he was caught by three Chinese soldiers on the way and eventually killed. When the Chinese soldiers examined the body, they found that they had killed an Indian brigadier general.
Today, in the Indian army, Brigadier General Hoshir has become a symbol of "disgrace". Some even dubbed the dead general "The Long-Legged General" as a mockery of his running away on the battlefield.
The highest-ranking general killed on the Chinese side was battalion commander Li Baishi.
On November 19, 1962, the 3rd Battalion of the People's Liberation Army pursued the fleeing Indian troops. In the course of the pursuit, they unexpectedly encountered a detachment of Indian troops. In just a few minutes, the PLA killed more than 10 Indian soldiers and seized two vehicles.
As soon as battalion commander Li Baishi heard the gunshots, he immediately realized that the Indian army was retreating to the north. The Indian soldiers who were killed were in good order, in stark contrast to the routs who were desperately fleeing south. He judged that this was the vanguard of Indian reinforcements, and that a large force might be about to arrive behind.
In order to prevent the enemy from escaping, battalion commander Li Baishi decisively decided to use fewer enemies and more enemies, and the 9th Company immediately launched a fierce battle with the reinforced wing of the Indian army.
Suddenly, there was a roar from the rear of the Indian convoy. They are trying to mount 4 mortars onto the car in preparation for retreat. The bazooka squad leader immediately fired a bomb at the front tractor, causing the tractor** to block the road. Seeing that the artillery truck was blocked, the Indian soldiers jumped out of the car and fled, while the 9th Company immediately rushed forward, blocking the escape of more than 300 Indian troops.
The battalion commander was stuck in a convoy and tried to escape across the ravine. Li Baishi discovered his movement and led two platoons to cross the hillside, successfully preventing the Indian army from escaping. At this moment, a bullet from a machine gun hit him. Li Baishi fell to the ground and sacrificed his life for the country.
He became the highest-ranking officer killed on the Chinese side in this counterattack against India. His sacrifice demonstrates the bravery and fearlessness of the Chinese people, and the spirit of sacrificing his life for the country is always worth remembering.
