In China in 1958, there was still a lot of work to be done.

In Lop Nur, Xinjiang, the construction of the nuclear test base has accelerated.

Tang Hua took back the homework corrected by the Soviet nuclear physicist. Qian Sanqiang and Deng Jia first read the homework and put down a big stone in their hearts.Qian Sanqiang re-estimated the time of the first test of nuclear weapons, and believed that the original expectation in 1961 was already conservative, and the atomic bomb test explosion could be completed in 1960.

This advance, even many projects have to be advanced.

After the aerospace program was advanced in 1957, it also affected many engineering projects.In order to have as many time windows as possible for the TT&C satellites, 3 additional radar and radio TT&C stations were built in Heilongjiang, Xinjiang and Tibet.

Among them, the measurement and control stations in Xinjiang and Heilongjiang have the ability to send commands from the ground to control satellites. The radar stations in Tibet cannot control satellites, but they are the most difficult to build.The transportation in Tibet is difficult, the altitude is high, the construction workers are physically exhausted, and the temperature is not conducive to concrete mixing and pouring.

On a dirt road near Mangre Township, Nanmulin County, the medical team of the People's Liberation Army Tibet Military Region is heading for Shigatse in two trucks from Nanmulin County.

The Nanmulin measurement and control station is under construction, and two platoons and two engineering companies of the Tibet Military Region are stationed there. Since the construction of the project is heavy physical labor, the military region has dispatched a medical team of up to 16 people to the construction site for support.

In 1958, the plague and tuberculosis in Shigatse were still in a period of high incidence, and the situation of lack of doctors and medicines remained unchanged. In early September, the Shigatse government reported that several nearby villages had an infectious disease suspected of plague. The medical team at the construction site of the measurement and control station closest to Shigatse was ordered to give Tibetans physical examination, treatment, and delivery of medicine.

The two trucks carried 12 members of the medical team, medical equipment, and medicines. The guards were only deputy company commander Wang Nengqin and a soldier. The other two drivers were auto soldiers, barely considered combatants.

On September 9, after driving for three or four hours on the road, the medical team found that the road ahead had been cut off.When the driver got out of the car to check the condition of the road, intensive gunshots rang out a few hundred meters away. The driver quickly lay down and was not injured. Wang Nengqin immediately ordered all the medical staff to get out of the car and hide, but some people were still injured in the random gunshots.

Wang Nengqin judged from the sound of gunshots that the militants on the opposite side had Lee Enfield rifles, Springfield 1903s, Italian single-action rifles, and even antique-grade muzzle-loading flintlocks and shotguns.Although the guns were broken, they couldn't hold three or four hundred guns and fired at the same time, while the medical team had only 4 soldiers and 5 guns, and 16 people were crushed on the road behind the truck and couldn't move.

"Save bullets, don't fire continuously!" Wang Nengqin loudly ordered the accompanying soldiers and two drivers, "This team has a lot of guns. It may be that Enzhucang Gonbu Tashi rebelled."

Not long after Wang Nengqin finished speaking, there was a loud noise from the militants on the opposite side.Thousands of militants in strange costumes were armed with a variety of weapons, ranging from bolt-action rifles to old-fashioned shotguns, and at least half of them were armed with machetes.This group of people jumped out of the hidden ravine one after another, screaming and rushing towards the medical team and the two trucks.

Chapter 193, Four Rivers and Six Hills

"This gang of slave owners!"

Zhang Guohua, the first secretary of the Tibet Working Committee and the commander of the Tibet Military Region, slammed the enamel teapot in his hand on the table, and the tea in it spilled out.

The accident site of the medical team in Nanmulin County was close to Shigatse. The Tibetans in Shigatse and our cadres all vaguely heard gunshots, but there were only twelve or three people in total, and they were all local cadres. Station site troops.A company of engineers took up their weapons and galloped along the road taken by the medical team from the construction site of the measurement and control station. When they arrived at the accident site, the battle was over.

The road was in a mess, and the bandits fled before our rescuers arrived. There were only the wreckage of two cars, the remains of 16 sacrificed comrades, and blood stains all over the ground.

The fuel tanks of the two cars were pried open, and the gangsters used the gasoline inside to set the cars on fire, and threw the bodies of the two sacrificed comrades into the burning cars.The medicines, 2 semi-automatic rifles and 4 pistol carried by the medical team were all taken away, and there were many bullet casings on the ground. Obviously, the soldiers and drivers of the medical team almost finished all the bullets during the battle.

The blood stains on the ground don't seem to be all from the sacrificed soldiers, in addition, there are traces of heavy objects being dragged on the ground.The rescue team searched along the traces on the ground and found seven or eight corpses 300 meters away—the bandits might have wanted to carry their own corpses back at first, but they found it too heavy halfway or found that the People’s Liberation Army reinforcements were approaching, so they threw away the corpses I slipped away by myself.

This is the gangster who was killed in close combat near the car.The rescue force searched carefully within a range of 300 meters and found more than 30 corpses of the bandits.The bodies of several of the bandits were identified by the rescue force as soldiers who had served in the Daiben (peacefully reorganized Tibetan army) of the Kashag authorities.

……

"This was done by the militants in Shannan, the Four Rivers and Six Hills Guards. There are Americans behind them." Mu Shengzhong said, "In June this year, they fled from Shannan to Shigatse and Lhasa to create chaos. Many cases of bandits killing herdsmen have been reported from various places."

"Local cadres and soldiers working in cities and towns must go out in groups of three and carry guns," Zhang Guohua said. A platoon is required, and a company escort is required for the movement of a large number of personnel and materials."

Mu Shengzhong: "As a result, the number of our troops in the Tibetan area is a little tight. Should we send a report to the central government to explain the current situation and ask for more troops?"

"Send a report to the central government and truthfully report the recent incidents, but don't ask the central government for reinforcements." Zhang Guohua calmed down, clenched his fists and looked at the map, "We must first solve the problems in Qinghai, western Sichuan, Gansu and Yunnan. The rebellion in Tibetan areas, after these areas are pacified, our army will enter Tibet in large numbers to counter the rebellion and carry out democratic reforms, and we cannot disrupt the deployment of the central government.”

"The Karon nobles are right under our noses, and they treat Tibetans with the same rule they used hundreds of years ago, beating, cutting out tongues, digging out hearts, skinning, and sometimes even doing these things in the street. Said, "But we still have to let the Kashag government handle these civil affairs and religious affairs according to the stipulations of the [-]-Article Agreement. We cannot interfere. The opinions of the cadres and commanders who came to Tibet are not small."

Zhang Guohua: "We try our best to protect the interests and safety of poor Tibetans, do a good job in the ideological work of cadres and soldiers, and tell them that this kind of life will not last long. Sooner or later we will completely liberate Tibetan areas. Everything will be paid in blood."

Beijing.

"In May 1957, the rebels secretly supported by the two Tibetan reactionaries established the 'Four Rivers and Six Ranges Guards'. After the United States knew about this, it set up a CIA headquarters in India. Dui waited for two people to be airdropped to Shannan. The four rivers and six hills guards and teaching troops were all transferred to Shannan, where they gathered and organized training."

"At the beginning of 1958, the CIA airdropped radio stations, weapons and ammunition to Shannan. Then in April, Wangdui brought the radio station to Lhasa, and the reactionary upper echelons of Tibet established contact with the Educational Guard Army and the CIA headquarters. In June, the rebels trained in Shannan About 4 terrorists sneaked into the Lhasa-Shigatse area from Shannan to carry out sabotage activities."

"The guards and teaching troops, supported by both the United States and the Tibetan government, immediately attacked the People's Liberation Army and the Highway Road Team in Nimu, Majiang, Wudu, Yangbajing, Gongga, Zhalang and other places, and besieged Zedang and Zhamu in Shannan. Most of the party and government organizations in Dingqing, Dingqing and other places were repelled by our army and civilians, but some battles also caused casualties to our army."

"In Mozhugong Kazong, 84 households were robbed by them in just two months, and even the lamp oil and oil bowls worshiping Buddha were robbed by them. On July 7, in Nimuzhangduo Village, the guards Because the temple objected to their disturbance in the village, they set fire to the Lama Temple and killed three lamas."

"The teaching guards even dared to attack the middle and high-level religious personnel who supported us. In Gangba Dzong, on July 7, the teaching guards killed Zongben, who was stationed in Gamba by the Panchen Ladrang."

The 9.17 incident was quickly reported to the Central Committee from the Tibet Military Region. Combined with the several incidents of troops being attacked since June, the General Staff Headquarters held a special meeting in the southwest region to discuss combat issues in Tibet and surrounding areas.

Hearing the information from Staff Chen Mingyi that the guards had sneaked into the hinterland of Tibet, Su Yu frowned: "They really have 4000 people sneaked into Lhasa and Shigatse? If there are 4000 people, then the extent of their disturbance and destruction should not stop there." ah."

Chen Mingyi: "Although these rebels have been trained by the CIA, they are trained by second-hand dealers. Besides, these people are originally a mob with their own agendas, and they have little combat effectiveness in front of regular troops. But there was a captain named Jiang in the 155th regiment earlier this year. Defected, and may now be working as an instructor at the Guards Army base in Shannan."

Suyu glanced twice between Tibet and Shigatse on the map, and then continued to move down to Shannan.

Shannan is a small city 80 kilometers south-east of Lhasa, but it usually refers to a large sparsely populated area south of Shannan City to the Sino-Indian border.The main hiding places of the Four Rivers and Six Hills Guards and Teaching Army are these counties in the south of Shannan.

Then Suyu looked further south. "Where is the headquarters of the CIA?"

Chen Mingyi pointed to a location somewhere in northeast India.

Suyu himself picked up a ruler and a small flag, and drew a red line on the map of southern Tibet.The first red line departs from Lhasa and passes through Gongga, Luozha, Cuona, which is the hook on the west side.The second red line departs from Nyingchi-Milin and forms the hook on the east side, wrapping Shannan in the middle.But after thinking about it, Su Yu shook his head again.

……

"The General Staff is recently deducing and planning the combat plan in the Tibet area. During the deduction, we found that it is easy to drive the rebels out of the core area of ​​Tibet only by ground forces, but we must wipe them out in Tibet and prevent the rebels from Fleeing to India is difficult. So the assistance and participation of your air force is needed."

Suyu invited Liu Yelou and Zhang Tingfa, the first deputy chief of staff of the Air Force.

Liu Yelou: "The air force is fighting in the Tibet area. Reconnaissance is a big problem. We have planes and useful ammunition, but we can't find the rebels on the ground. It's hard to handle. If you want the air force to play a role, then the ground The troops have to cooperate well, in addition to smooth communication, there must be a small unit that keeps moving forward to serve as the eyes of the Air Force."

Zhang Tingfa: "Commander Liu, the Air Force has some solutions for ground reconnaissance now."

Liu Yelou: "Really? Chang Qiankun confirmed it?"

"It was personally verified by Deputy Commander Chang, just two months ago. Our planes can detect people who have made anti-aircraft camouflage on the ground from a long distance."

Su Yu: "I can guarantee that the ground troops can keep up. It may be difficult for large troops, but the scouts can get by. If there is no problem with scouting, then we will continue to discuss."

Zhang Tingfa: "In view of counter-insurgency operations, the rebel army cannot have an air force, and the air force mainly dispatches bombers and attack aircraft. But now there is a problem. There is no good airport in this large area of ​​Tibet that can be used as an air force base. Lhasa may Not very good... so we can only find airports around Tibet."

Zhang Tingfa pointed out several places on the map:

"Yushu Airport, our air force is actually deducing the issue of how to fight over Tibet. Yushu Airport has been expanded and rebuilt, and now it can take off and land Tu-4 heavy bombers. It should be said that this is the airport with the most favorable distance and geographical location."

"Near Chengdu, there are many airports. There are at least three airports that can take off and land the Tu-3, but several airports in Chengdu are far away from Shannan, nearly 4 kilometers away. Of course, they are still within the combat radius of the Tu-1200, but the bombers It takes two to three hours to fly over the combat area, and the timeliness may be poor."

"Yunnan, Lijiang and Baoshan airports can be used. These two airports are [-] kilometers away from Shannan, which is more advantageous."

"However, most of the Tu-4s are now at coastal airfields for offensive and defensive operations on the sea. If preparing for anti-insurgency operations in Tibet, the Air Force can draw about 4 Tu-12 bombers, and another 4 to 6 The special aircraft of the Tu-4 platform, that’s all.”

Suyu: "In addition to Tu-4, can Tu-2 and Il-28 be transferred?"

Zhang Tingfa: "If additional Il-28s are deployed, there is such a plan: Tu-4 will only be deployed at airports near Chengdu, and Yushu Airport, Lijiang, and Baoshan Airport will be used to deploy Il-28s and Tu-2s. These two The plane deployed in Chengdu cannot fly to the south of the mountain, but if it is placed in Lijiang, it will be within reach, and it will be even better if it is placed in Yushu, which is only [-] kilometers away from the south of the mountain.”
