After the outbreak of the Sino-Indian War, Zhou Gong received information that European and American countries could form a "joint **" to fight our army as they did in the Korean War. In order to avoid this from happening, Zhou decided to form a "United **" to help India as a way to curb possible external interference.
On the surface, the war of self-defense and counterattack against India is a simple military conflict, but behind it is a complex political game between China and India. After independence, India opposed British colonialism on the one hand, and on the other hand, wanted to inherit the British legacy in South Asia and tried to dominate South Asia.
China, on the other hand, wants to get along with India in order to focus its strategy on East Asia. India, however, sees China as a competitor, and if China does something, it will be aided by countries that are hostile to China.
Nehru also used this to divert tensions from the country, allowing the population to focus on the war and forget about hunger and disease. Before 1959, the snow-capped mountains along the Sino-Indian border did not attract India's attention, and China did not show any intention of arguing.
However, from 1959 onwards, India began to make a fuss about the border issue, sending troops to provoke and occupy large areas of land. By September 1962, India had established 43 invasion bases in our territory.
People** issued a warning that if Nehru did not withdraw his troops from the border, China would use force. Nehru, however, turned a blind eye to the warning, and according to the chairman's assessment, this person, like Chiang's Chiang Jun, always wanted to infringe on our interests with the support of the big bosses in Europe and the United States.
Nehru's army, on the basis of intelligence, planned to launch the "Livorno" plan on 10 October to invade our territory. War is imperative, and our army can only be forced to fight back.
Due to logistical and marching difficulties, the Indian army postponed until October 16 and launched the "Livorno" plan to shell our positions. On 18 October, the chairman convened a meeting and decided to launch a counterattack against the Indian army and completely crush the Indian army's aggression north of the "McMahon Illegal Line" and in the Kejielang area.
The troops should be prepared for continuous combat to annihilate the invading enemy. Our army fought smoothly, launched a counterattack on October 20, achieved a great victory in just four days, and by October 28, the first phase of the operation was over.
The chairman and Zhou Gong were in Beijing to study the next step. The General Staff reported that the morale of the participating troops in the eastern and western sectors was high, the fighters advanced rapidly, and had reached the traditional customary line (the line of control before 1959), annihilated about 5,000 enemy troops, and captured a large number of ** equipment and supplies.
Due to the harsh environment on the plateau, our army encountered many difficulties on the road of marching maneuvers. After the real start of the war, our army exchanged fire with the Indian army, which was basically a war of annihilation. On the surface, it seems that China and India are at war, but in fact, there are already European and American forces intervening behind the scenes, like a black cloud pressing down on the city, and the huge pressure seems to overthrow the Himalayas.
The reason why our army counterattacked by force was because Nehru refused to negotiate. Having punished India in the first stage, our army again offered negotiations, proposing a peaceful settlement of the dispute.
But Nehru once again refused to negotiate, and increased the strength of 2 divisions and 9 brigades, putting on a posture of a big fight. China has done its best to show goodwill, but this former "fraternal country" is still obsessed.
From the point of view of the United States, they want this war to be fought as big as possible, because they have always hated the red camp and want to borrow the hand of India to kill people with a knife.
As long as it is hostile, the United States will support it, especially a regional power like India, as long as they provoke a war from the direction of South Asia, they will naturally win the favor of the "big boss".
The United States has continued to aid India, and Kennedy has already applied to Congress for funding to arm Indian troops in South Asia as early as two years ago when the conflict between China and India broke out.
Kennedy Nehru only had to throw an olive branch to China's hostile countries to obtain a steady stream of armaments. His confidence in refusing to negotiate stemmed from the strong backing of the United States and the Soviet Union, and he even hoped to receive direct military assistance from Europe and the United States.
Although India has obtained a lot of first-class equipment, the harsh environment of the Himalayas has greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the Indian army, and many of the equipment supported by the West have reached the plateau, and many of them cannot operate normally.
The latest intelligence shows that some people are using the United Nations to create ** and want to use the Korean War as an excuse to send United ** into India. The chairman couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and sarcastically mocked the enemy's forgetfulness.
However, the European and American countries, led by the United States, will at most scare us with "joint **", and it is impossible for them to really send troops for three reasons: First, the plateau environment is even worse than that of the Korean Peninsula, and it is difficult for their tanks and heavy artillery to drive to the front line.
Second, when it comes to infantry warfare, especially mountain warfare, they have suffered a lot from us, and they know that they will suffer a crushing defeat, so why bother to suffer for themselves? Third, the Cuban Missile Crisis plunged the United States and the Soviet Union into a quagmire, and as soon as a nuclear war broke out, they naturally had no time to care about India's life or death.
This is nothing more than their mouthpiece, and there is nothing to be afraid of. For example, India once put its most elite troops into the front line, and those troops who had made great achievements in the European, Burma, and India-Pakistani battlefields in World War II formed the Indian army's ace 7th Brigade, but it was defeated by our army in just two days.
Our military medical personnel successfully sent Indian prisoners to *** Just ask the US troops on the Korean battlefield have already tasted defeat, let alone in the Kejielang Valley in the Himalayas, where there are more than 4,000 meters of high mountains and dense forests, what can they do?
On the battlefield, our army continued to use powerful military strikes and the strategy of promoting peace through war, forcing Nehru to negotiate. As the President had said, war and peace, although contradictory, were sometimes united.
Strategically, we should defy the enemy, but tactically, we must value them. Since the enemy has the idea of forming a "joint **" again, Beijing has ordered Zhang Guohua and Ding Sheng on the front line to prepare for a tough and vicious battle.
In this war, the Indians are most afraid of the iron will of our army, and the US military is equally afraid of the strength of our army. The harsh environment will only make the warriors stronger, as this will determine their success or failure.
For example, the combat hero Wang Zhongdian marched forward bravely on the battlefield and made a third-class meritorious service in the first battle. In November, together with his comrades-in-arms on the Western Front, he braved a low temperature of minus 45 degrees Celsius, climbed over a high mountain of more than 5,000 meters, and quickly penetrated behind enemy lines.
After fierce battles again and again, the troops were blocked by the enemy's hidden fortress firepower, and when the distance was about 20 meters, Wang Zhongdian took the blasting canister and crawled close to the dark fort, and followed the muzzle of the machine gun to the blasting canister ***
However, the enemy pushed the blaster out, Wang Zhongdian pushed it inside three times, and the enemy pushed it out three times.
Wang Zhongdian, a brave warrior, used his life to open up a path to victory for his comrades. During the battle, he pulled the blaster and pushed forward again, blocking the enemy's machine gun muzzle with his body.
Despite the platoon commander's shouting for him to come down, he chose to stay firmly on the scene of the battle. Wang Zhongdian was blown up more than 3 meters away in the **, but he used his life to win the possibility of victory for his comrades.
Luo Guangxie is also a heroic combat hero. He fought fiercely in the Pangong Lake area, and despite severe frostbite, he still held out of the line of fire and refused to go to the rear**.
He was a sapper, but the enemy set up a firing point on the high hill on the south bank of Lake Pangong Lake, and three minefields were set up around the fortifications. Although the snow covered the mine, Luo Guangxie unfortunately stepped on the mine with his right foot while clearing the mine, and his flesh and blood were blown up below the ankle.
Although he fell into a coma, when he woke up, he saw that the machine gun at the enemy's point of fire was spraying bullets.
Luo Guangxie did not have mine-sweeping tools, but he rolled mines with his body to open up the way for the commando, and finally died heroically at the age of 21. His feat proved that it was impossible for the United States to appear on the Sino-Indian border, demonstrated our army's iron will to fight, and made the enemy understand that if he dared to attack, he would be defeated as if he was on the Korean battlefield.
The sons and daughters of the heroes used practical actions to show the heroism and tenacity of the best people.
