"Mr. Ambassador, are you here to criticize India for launching the war?" The two sides sat down, and Nehru took the ambassador first with a bad face.

"It doesn't matter how we evaluate what happened in the past, what matters is how we face the future." The ambassador smiled, but his reply was also sharp, "Mr. Prime Minister, the General Secretary and Mikoyan have both visited India. Talks, they all said the same thing - Americans can't be trusted."

Nehru also replied in a complaining tone: "Only the Americans support India's recovery of the occupied territories, and when you choose a side between China and India, you are not choosing the Indian side."

"I am here to convey Chairman Khrushchev's opinion on the military action between China and India." The ambassador said to Nehru, "Mr. Prime Minister, I don't need to say more about the development of the war situation. In principle, you should re-establish a channel of dialogue with the Chinese high-level to discuss how to end this war with dignity."

Nehru: ...

Nehru didn't know what to say.

In the past three days, the situation in the Indian army has been getting worse and worse. Even newspapers in New Delhi, journalists who can only rely on information from the Ministry of Defense press conferences to write manuscripts have gradually realized that something is not right.

"If you climb up the mountain, you can't come down" has become a common phenomenon in the Indian army.The Fourth Division was at a loss before the Chinese tunnel fortification in Derangzong, and could not go back after three days.The two regiments of the 2nd Division originally entered the mountainous area in southern Tibet to outflank the Chinese army, but now the Chinese army blocked their way down the mountain.

The fourth division is the number one main force of the Indian army. This division was built by the United Kingdom during World War II as a 100% motorized mechanized division where no one needs to walk on two legs. Before launching an attack on China, it was equipped with American howitzers and M47 tanks. , In terms of tank equipment, it is stronger than the current British army.

"I don't think there is a basis for dialogue between China and India now," Nehru said.

"The basis of dialogue is concessions. Both sides have shown their sincerity to make concessions, so there is a basis for dialogue," the ambassador said. "Can India make some concessions, even some relatively small ones? If Mr. Prime Minister still wants to use peaceful To resolve the conflict between China and India, we should make concessions."

Nehru: "To make concessions, or not to make concessions, is a matter for parliament to decide."

"If the parliament decides, India's national mobilization, don't you plan to make any representations?"

……

The talks between Nehru and the Soviet ambassador ended badly.

"Mr. Ambassador, we need planes, we need fighter jets! Please give us 50 F-104s in the fastest way!"

Nehru was asking the US ambassador to India for help.

The American ambassador shook his head: "But you don't have any pilots who can fly the F-104. Your country's pilots who are going to fly the F-104 have not yet arrived in the United States. You seem to be in the process of selection, and it will take several months, right?"

Nehru: "Can some American pilots come to India as volunteers to fight in India?"

"Sorry, this method is beyond the current relationship between the United States and India." The ambassador continued to shake his head, and shook his head more firmly than before, "Our two countries are not a military alliance yet, and this is not the time of World War II. By the way , Regarding the situation on the front line, I have a personal suggestion to tell you."

Nehru: "Please speak."

Wouldn't it be the Americans who also suggested India's truce and peace talks...

"If air supremacy cannot be restored, then add 15 to 20 troops to the east, offset China's air superiority with the absolute superiority of ground troops, and restrain China's attack."

……

"India's large-scale increase of troops to the east to engage in crowd tactics? This possibility does not exist."

Liu Yelou, the Beijing General Staff Headquarters, categorically rejected this possibility of India.

"There is no arms industry in eastern India, not at all, not even a bullet reloading factory. For the troops fighting in the eastern region, any guns, ammunition, and gasoline have to be shipped from the central part. Assam can only supply food. No , if the number of their foreign troops in Assam exceeds 20, then Assam will have problems supplying even 20 troops with food."

Boss Peng and Su Yu thought about it for a while, and also rejected this possibility, "India will not adopt this kind of plan. Then let's think about it, what other tricks can India use?"

"After much deliberation, they can't continue playing on the Eastern Front," said Yang Chengwu, the deputy chief of the general staff. A kind of besieging Wei and saving Zhao."

"Now the situation on the eastern front is very clear. Commander Liu has obtained air superiority over southern Tibet and the entire eastern part of India, so that now we can use five regiments to launch a full-line counterattack against 6.7 of them, and surrounded 6 of them. However, this is not the case on the central and western fronts. If the Indians analyze a little bit, they will also find that we may not be able to form air superiority on the central and western lines.”

"On the east route, we have 4 airports in Yunnan, Tibet's Damxung Airport has also stationed JJ-1, but now we are hesitating whether we can legally enter the airspace of Sikkim; on the west route, we... can only be regarded as one and a half Airport."

Liu Yelou added: "Even if the airport is enough, it's useless. The Air Force only has 6 KJ-1s in total, 4 of which are at Kunming Luliang Airport, and [-] of them are immobile in Suzhou. I have no extra early warning aircraft for the central and western routes. gone."

Yang Chengwu: "So, if India opens up another battlefield on the central and western fronts, it will be much more beneficial than the eastern front. At least the Indians will not be bombed every day."

Boss Peng: "What can the Indians do when they fight land battles on the ground. Is the Indian Army as powerful as the US Army?"

Yang Chengwu: ...

……

Bundila.

When the southern Tibet counterattacked across the board, our army really only had five regiment-level field troops, and 2 people launched an attack on the Indian army with a total strength of more than 6.

In addition to the five regiments of these 2 people, there are also 6 border guard battalions and 11 militia companies.When the battle entered the counterattack stage, the front-line troops were still short of troops. Since the militia troops had sufficient combat effectiveness and were close to the battlefield, Zhang Guohua also transferred the militia companies to counterattack.

"Liu Lianman? Wang Fuzhou? Hey, where has your mountaineering team been these past few months? Then why did you come back?" The troops of the 155nd Battalion of the 2th Regiment who were attacking forward met old acquaintances again.

Shi Zhanchun, commander of the militia company of the Chinese mountaineering team: "We went back to climb two mountains over 5 meters in May, June, and July to practice. After the training, we went to Chengdu to rest for a period of time. At the end of October, we returned to Tibet to continue training and practice. , Our mountaineering team has become a militia company again.”

Deputy Battalion Commander of the 2nd Battalion: "Company Commander Shi, this is different from March. At that time, your main job was to deliver supplies and repair the offensive. This time, you may actually go into battle."

Wang Fuzhou: "Whether it's going into battle or climbing a mountain, it's all revolutionary work"

"Yes, yes, last time you talked a lot about personal struggles, historical progress, etc., but it makes sense."

Wang Fuzhou: "So I also understand that no matter which historical process you participate in, you are creating history. You don't have to think too much, just do it and get it done."

Shi Zhanchun: "Up to now, more than 8000 mountaineers from various countries have climbed the peaks above 200 meters in the world, and 39 people have died. We are always ready to sacrifice. The probability of sacrifice on the battlefield may be Still lower than climbing Mount Everest."

Deputy Battalion Commander: "By the way, Company Commander Shi, last time you said that your militia company's shooting performance is particularly poor. Has your performance improved a little in the past six months?"

Shi Zhanchun: "...No. We don't have time to practice shooting."

……

From Bakrupon to Bundila to Dejangzon.

The straight-line distance of this section of road is 49 kilometers, and the actual distance is 105 kilometers. As long as this section of road is completed, the Fourth Division will return to the plain area-but this is a dream.This section of the road has been cut into intestinal obstruction by the interspersed 154th and 155th regiments, and the blocked section is not one or two sections, but more than a dozen sections.

The [-]th Battalion of the [-]th Guards Regiment lost all its motorized vehicles yesterday and could only retreat south along the road on foot.Although there are not many Chinese planes overhead, every time a Chinese plane appears, it always makes the whole battalion jump.

On the morning of December 12, the 29th Battalion of the Guards encountered the [-]th Battalion of the Galval United on the road. This battalion was also retreating on foot, but it did not run as fast as the [-]th Battalion of the Guards.

"We can't take the road anymore!" Colonel Phuket of the Gallval United's voice was hoarse, "One hour ago, two Chinese planes strafed us and caused us to lose 110 people. If this continues, we have not encountered any Chinese ground troops. , we're all going to die."

"The Chinese army is in the mountains on both sides of us. They are quietly following us and will rush down to attack when we are most relaxed," said the commander of the Fourth Guards Battalion who was attacked once in Derangzong. "Now you let us We went into the mountains to retreat? Are we sent to the guns of the Chinese mountain soldiers?"

"No! Instead of going into the mountains, just walk in the wild near the road, it's easier to hide..."

The two tired infantry battalions merged together, had a hasty lunch, and followed Colonel Phuket's suggestion to leave the road and walk in the fields.The walking speed in the field is not as fast as that of the road. After walking for two hours, it took only 8 kilometers. It was time to stop for afternoon tea.

The roar of jet engines was faintly heard overhead.

"I still have the foresight,"

Colonel Phuket was drinking tea under a pine tree in the woods. "All troops will enter the bushes for rest and meals. The evergreen trees here will help us hide ourselves..."

The flag of Colonel Puji stood at the wrong time. The plane that appeared in the sky quickly turned a corner and rushed towards the hiding place of the two battalions. The Indian soldiers on the ground recognized that it was an Il -28, but this is actually not a bomber, but a reconnaissance type of Il-28.
