In addition, the pre-research of Hongqi-8 is still under discussion. This is another general-purpose missile for land and sea, replacing Hongqi-4.

Tang Hua: "I read from your report that the gun ammunition can be finalized, so the development of the next generation of ammunition can be put on the agenda, right?"

Liu Nai: "We are demonstrating the optimal caliber of ammunition for squad use. But there is a problem. If a new small-caliber ammunition is released, it seems that the current 7.62 intermediate bullets cannot be completely eliminated. In the future, we may have small-caliber ammunition. The coexistence of rifle bullets and medium-caliber intermediate rifle bullets.”

Tang Hua: "Coexistence is not too bad a thing. The distinction between the two types of ammunition is obvious, and the probability of logistics errors is not high... Medium-caliber bullets may be more popular for export."

The coexistence of small-caliber ammunition and intermediate-type ammunition is not bad. One small-caliber ammunition produces four ammunition with the same shell case and different content, and each produces 10 billion+ rounds, which are stored in the army's armory. That's a pain.

Liu Nai: "In addition to bullets, we are also discussing guns. Now we have decided to make four small-caliber guns: automatic rifles, short carbines, squad machine guns, and squad sniper rifles. Squad sniper rifles can be equipped with high-precision bullets. , but bullets produced by ordinary assembly lines can also be used.”

Tang Hua: "The squad uses sniper shooting well. It can control targets within 600 meters. Above 600 meters, the big sniper will take over."

"Yes, this kind of team can deal with a single target at a long distance at any time during the battle, and there is no need to call the sniper team of the superior unit." Liu Nai said, "It is that there are no foreign models of our series of firearms to refer to, and most of the designs may be Work has to be restarted.”

On October 10, the 1st Surveying Team of the Xinjiang Military Region carried out map surveying and mapping tasks in Mordo.

It belongs to Ritu County, Ngari Prefecture, Tibet, 5 kilometers west of Mandongcuo Lake, which is the westernmost part of Tibet.

The Ngari area in Tibet belongs to the Xinjiang Military Region rather than the Tibet Military Region. Due to traffic reasons, it is not as convenient to go from Lhasa to Ngari as from Xinjiang to Ngari.

The 101 surveying team has 20 members, carrying measuring instruments and self-defense weapons. They have been working here for two days. It is expected that by this afternoon, the surveying and mapping work in the Mordo area will be completed. The surveying team will return to Ritu County to sort out the data .

On the afternoon of October 10st, when the sun was setting in the west, an imperial jeep drove up from the bumpy road in the valley.

Some members of the 101 Surveying Team were guarding the objects at the bottom of the valley, and some were packing up the measuring instruments on both sides of the hillside. The jeep drove directly to 101 meters in front of the 100 Surveying Team and stopped. More than 20 Indian soldiers jumped out of the jeep. The leader looked like It's a platoon leader, and he doesn't know what to say to the 101 measurement team.

"Qiangba! Qiangba!" Captain Zhang Da called loudly to Qiangba, the interpreter in the survey team.

"Captain, they said, this is Indian territory, let us leave immediately."

"We are planning to leave and go back to eat, but I am not happy with you yelling so aggressively, so I want to reason with you first," Zhang Fang said, "First of all, this is Chinese territory. Look behind you, the piece If you see the stone, it is the boundary stone of Mordo, and the boundary stone is Chinese territory. Secondly, you have invaded the territory of China, and you have crossed the border more than 500 meters!"

The Indian platoon leader continued to wow after listening to the words passed by Jamba. "He said that stones are not the border, and that dozens of kilometers here belong to India. They also said that they would arrest us for illegally crossing the border. Shameless."

After the translation, Jamba added a sentence of his own.

Zhang Fang: "What are you talking about with empty teeth? We will drive you back today!"

Zhang Fang pushed back, and the Type 55 automatic rifle on his back was in his hand. He pulled the bolt and loaded it with a crash, and the survey team around him did the same. 20 automatic and semi-automatic guns were aimed at the Indians and military vehicles.

Do you really think this is a surveying team?Captain Zhang Fang was a veteran who made second-class meritorious service during the liberation of Kaohsiung. After the war, the army selected him to study surveying at the General Staff Engineering Academy. After graduation, he became the surveying captain.

The members of the 101 surveying team were in an evacuated formation, and several of them were on the high slopes on both sides of the valley, condescending. Although the numbers on both sides were similar, the Indian army was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of formation and geographical advantages.

"Captain, the Indians are here to reinforce the army." The sharp-eyed Qiangba saw the valley road behind the Indian army, and two more black dots came.

After the conflict and confrontation between China and India on the Eastern Front, from August 1959, the middle section of the Sino-Indian border (the junction of Tibet and India) and the western section (the junction of Xinjiang, the westernmost tip of Tibet and the disputed area of ​​Kashmir) have occurred one after another. A confrontation between Indian and Indian patrols or border guards.

During the confrontation and conflict in Mordo, the 101 surveying team faced three Indian vehicles and more than 60 people armed with threats. The number was too large, and they were notified by their superiors to avoid conflicts and avoid their own casualties, so they had to alternately cover and retreat When they arrived at the safe area, two tripods, a goniometer, and a level were snatched by the Indian army before they could close the booth.

The Mordo incident is not the first conflict in the middle and western sections. On September 9, the border civil affairs investigation team in the Ngari area and a group of 20 people were doing rural statistics near Pulchuna in the Pangong Lake area. A squad of Indian troops tried to cross the border Ambush and arrest the civil affairs investigation team by the mountain.The investigation team discovered the Indian ambush, broke the Indian ambush with three shell guns for self-defense, and captured 8 people, including the leader of the Indian army-a lieutenant platoon leader.

Although there are gains and losses in these conflicts, and China has not lost much, the continuous harassment has still caused a lot of interference to our civil affairs and military work in the border areas.

"The large tracts of land in Ngari and Hotan areas were marked as belonging to China on very early maps. There is no doubt about this. There is no dispute over the ownership of these lands."

In response to these conflicts, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to summon the Indian ambassador to China to express protest.

Indian Ambassador to China Patasarathi: "These areas are part of the Kashmir state and are India's traditional sphere of influence."

Boss Chen: "This is neither a part of Kashmir state nor India's traditional sphere of influence. Your country's Prime Minister Nehru publicly said in the Federal House last year that 'this place has never been subject to any jurisdiction', you said Traditional spheres of influence, how can we see influence? Prime Minister Nehru then said, 'During the time of British rule, no one lived in this area, nor did it have any outposts', which are also his exact words."

Patasarathi: "No one lives here means that this is no man's land, no matter whether it belongs to India or not, at least it does not belong to China. Our two countries should negotiate the ownership of this area."

Boss Chen: "You are wrong, and Prime Minister Nehru is also wrong. Since India has never exercised jurisdiction over this area, Prime Minister Nehru did not understand that there have always been Chinese Tibetans living and working here. .In this area, the traditional customary line drawn on Chinese maps is bounded by the Karakoram Mountains."

"Then in southern Tibet, you have crossed the Himalayas and invaded Shannan!"

"What I just said is that in the Kashmir region, the Karakoram Mountains are used as the traditional customary dividing line between China, India and Pakistan. This principle only applies to Kashmir, not in southern Tibet. The radiating range of traditional Buddhist culture is also an area where the Tibetan local government has long ruled, and here we should draw boundaries based on cultural habits and ruling history.”

East India, Guwahati, Assam.

Transporting 30 Patton tanks from Calcutta to Assam is not an easy job. Indian intelligence personnel and logistics departments have waited a long time for the wagons to arrive. From Calcutta to the north, through the Siliguri Corridor and then to the east, take advantage of the darkness It was shipped to Assam, where the Prime Minister and Nehru agreed "not to send more troops to this area within half a year".

The Indian Army also deployed more than 100 tank soldiers and more than 200 logistics maintenance troops from other troops to Assam State, and formed a tank battalion on the spot in Gauhati City, under the command of the Fourth Division of the Indian Army.

These tankers used to drive M26 "Pershing".Strictly speaking, the Patton tank is an improved version of the Pershing tank. The control method of the tank and the use of the artillery turret are in the same line as the Pershing. The biggest difference is probably that the Patton tank runs faster, especially the acceleration.

In September 1959, more than a dozen instructors of the U.S. armored forces who took off their military uniforms also came to Assam to serve as an advisory group and instructors to help the Indian tank troops train techniques and tactics.

"Why don't you install these equipments on the tanks?" Spot, the leader of the instructor group, frowned as soon as he arrived at the camp of the Indian Army Tank Battalion, "When these tanks were transported to Calcutta, we included these steel wire mesh , steel bars and support beams, you were asked to weld them to the tank! But you used them to build personnel dormitories and rainproof shelters?"

"It will rain at any time in Assam, and our barracks should be built first to accommodate officers and soldiers." The battalion commander of the Indian army replied.

Spot: "Without these wire fences, you're going to die."

These are all the experience gained by the US military in exchange for bloody lessons on the Korean battlefield.The turret, sides and rear of the tank body should all be covered with steel wire mesh and steel fences, and the distance between the mesh and the armor plate of the tank should be at least 80 cm.

In this way, when anti-tank missiles and bazookas hit, they hit steel wire mesh or fences and explode. The jet stream generated by the shaped armor-piercing warhead is best focused on passing through the air, and the jet stream has re-diffused when it touches the armor plate. The armor-piercing ability is greatly reduced, and the armor plate cannot be penetrated.This critical moment can save the tank soldier's life.

The tanks that the U.S. military pulled out from the armory for Indian military aid also thoughtfully prepared a modification kit for each tank, including steel bars, wire mesh, support beams, screw pliers, and even 30 tanks were equipped with 3 welding torches , It is convenient for tank soldiers to do DIY modification before going to the battlefield.

"It doesn't matter if you pretend or not, so let's do it." The Indian battalion commander of the Buddhist family shrugged.What is there to be afraid of such an advanced tank?Just rush up to the southern slope of the Himalayas and drive the Chinese back.

Chapter 236, Khrushchev raised the copper corn

The new conflict on the Sino-Indian border has not been reported publicly during the National Day and the next few days.

Oh, the current National Day is a two-day holiday. October 10st is the National Day, and October 1th is the Republic Day, also known as the "Republic of China Memorial Day". After the Taiwan War signed an agreement to end the rule of the Republic of China, one of the few One of the remaining elements of the Republic of China.

Therefore, Tang Hua only saw this matter from the internal situation briefing. The newspapers, radio and television have not reported it yet, and it should wait until after October 10.

Although there is no public report, the first draft of the front page article of People's Daily on October 10 has been completed.

"The Indian army crossed the border, arbitrarily interfered and attacked the work of our normal personnel"

"From these notes, the whole world can clearly see how brutal and tyrannical the Indian government is, once again rejecting the specific proposal of the Chinese government to quickly start negotiations on the Sino-Indian border issue..."

"Our country lodges the most serious and strongest protest to India."

"The Chinese people must not tolerate their land being arbitrarily occupied by India! We solemnly warn that the Indian side must rein in the precipice and not go further down the wrong path. The Indian side must immediately stop its offensive and immediately withdraw from Mordo, Ritu County and other places. Withdraw, otherwise we will take necessary defensive measures..."

Ah, very good.It depends on when the next article comes out, whether it contains "is tolerable or unbearable" in the text.
