Dominate South Asia

Chapter 721: Dispatching troops

At that time, the Congress Party in Sikkim, supported by India, sought to merge Sikkim into India. At such a critical moment, in order to prevent the people of Sikkim from becoming second-class citizens in South Asia, and also because of historical origins, after all, in history, Sikkim has long regarded China as its master country, so the National Party hopes to merge Sikkim into China, which is better than living with India. The National Party also announced the temporary design of the "Sikkim Administrative Region" flag and emblem, and announced that Chinese, Bhutanese, Nepali, Lepcha and other languages ​​will be parallel to become the twelfth official language of Sikkim, and the second document language after English.

Unfortunately, China was also in turmoil at that time, and had no ability to manage the affairs of South Asia. Even when East Pakistan was dismembered, China could only express support. Therefore, facing the friendly request of the National Party to join, China could only bear the pain and ignore it. The five-star red flag has even been flying on the buildings in Sikkim, but China still did nothing.

Finally, the Indian soldiers came over with a stinking sound, declared the National Party an illegal party organization, suppressed the uprising organized by the National Party, and had a direct exchange of fire with the "Lepcha People's Liberation Army" led by the National Party and various civilian armed organizations supporting national independence. In Gangtok, the capital of the main war zone, the exchange of fire lasted for nearly an hour and a half, and the stinking Indian soldiers won.

This is a period of time that makes people sigh. In addition to the fact that China was indeed powerless at that time, another reason is that China still respected the royal family at that time. You know, the Sikkim National Party also opposed the ancient and corrupt rule of the royal family. As early as 1967, China declared the Sikkim National Party as an "opportunist party" and a "nationalist party", and excluded it from the list of "international revolutionary parties and organizations". Therefore, the National Party's letter of request to join China has become more and more contemptuous.

Now, the National Party has almost disappeared in Sikkim. After these 20 years of rule, the people of Sikkim did not feel any happiness. They lived the same life as before, endured India's exploitation, and had long been disappointed with the Indian government.

Now, the situation in South Asia is very clear. The Indians are hiding near New Delhi, watching the eastern front erode, and they are not able to recover these areas. In this case, the time for Sikkim to restore its sovereignty has come.

For China, it is still recognized that the Sikkim royal family is the orthodox ruler of Sikkim. Now, since the Sikkim royal family has expressed the desire to join China, China must of course meet the wishes of the Sikkim royal family.

After all, between countries, what is eternal is interest. The Sikkim royal family has no ability to restore Sikkim's sovereignty and can only rely on the Chinese army, and China cannot be Lei Feng. Do good things without leaving a name. Now China has reformed and opened up, and its concepts have been updated. The era of self-righteousness as the big brother of the third world and selfless help to the third world has passed.

The meeting ended in a friendly atmosphere and the two sides reached a consensus. China helped Sikkim to restore its country, and Sikkim was incorporated into China's territory in the form of an administrative region. It was just a political merger. Sikkim still enjoyed a high degree of autonomy.

Southern Tibet, near the McMahon Line.

High ridges, snow that never melts all year round. Nothing can be seen except the whistling wind.

On this ridge, white bulges suddenly appeared, and these bulges stood up from the ridge and slowly moved forward.

These are soldiers! They are wearing white cloaks. They are agile and climbed over from the mountains over there. They are still energetic.

Holding steel guns in their hands, looking ahead, there are more and more people behind them.

The entire 53rd Mountain Brigade has been dispatched! They have climbed over the mountains here and will set out from here to liberate the entire southern Tibet region!

And behind them, there is an infantry division of the Chengdu Military Region, with more than 10,000 troops, who will cross over from here and attack the Tawang garrison opposite!

At the same time, the 52nd Mountain Brigade and another infantry division were advancing along the Yarlung Zangbo River Valley, appearing from another direction, encircling these Indian troops and occupying Sikkim at the same time.

The biggest difficulty in mountain warfare is supply. Each of them only brought a week's rations and three bases of ammunition. As long as they occupied Tawang, they could get sufficient supplies from Bangladesh.

In the past wars, although China had captured a large area of ​​territory, it was quite difficult to transport supplies through the towering Himalayas. Even if the area here was occupied, it was still impossible to defend it. Now, the situation has changed a lot. Bangladesh has returned to Pakistan. Although it has not announced the merger to the outside world, Pakistan's large-scale garrison in Bangladesh is already a fact. As long as China enters southern Tibet and occupies Sikkim, it will border the area controlled by Pakistan. In this way, supplies can be transported directly through Pakistan, which is why China dares to use force.

Zhang Aiguo, the company commander of the leading reconnaissance company, raised his telescope and searched forward. The places he saw remained the same as before.

"Keep going!" Zhang Aiguo shouted, leading the vanguard down the mountain.

In the entire southern Tibet region, Tawang Town occupies an important position, because it is the only flat land in the southern Tibet region, and it is also the most populous area. The Indian garrison is also mainly in Tawang Town. As long as Tawang is occupied, it is almost equivalent to occupying the entire Arunachal Pradesh.

Although the Indians have several divisions here, those troops that are similar to reserves cannot be fought at all. Moreover, in the past few years, the Chinese army has been continuously undergoing reforms, and the fighting method is no longer what it used to be. It was the kind of war in the era of traditional continental army doctrine. They, the vanguard, all carried radio equipment and could call for air support at any time.

The last time China dispatched the J-7, it blew up the Indian artillery position to pieces. The Indians didn't even give a shit. There is only a second-tier airport here and a few old MiG-21 aircraft. There is no way to maintain it. In terms of air superiority, almost as soon as it takes off, it will be severely beaten by the Pakistan Air Force over Chittagong. Therefore, the Chinese Air Force can easily provide ground support here.

In the past, China's main ground support fighter aircraft was the Qiangwu. This aircraft has a limited range and poor take-off and landing capabilities on plateaus. Therefore, in the last border conflict, the Army played the leading role and the Air Force was not dispatched at all.

Now, with the upgrading of air force equipment, the J-H-7 has entered the air force. This kind of aircraft has advanced engines, low fuel consumption and a long range. It can hover over the northern region for two hours and is on standby at any time if needed. If supported, they will cross the border and conduct ground attacks.

Carrying the Type 81 rifle, Chinese soldiers once again set foot on the land of southern Tibet. This time, they will completely solve the problem of southern Tibet!

As we went down, the snow disappeared and the temperature began to rise. Putting away their white cloaks, which contained jungle camouflage combat uniforms, the officers and soldiers of the 53rd Mountain Brigade stepped on the path and continued to move forward.

The sun sets and the moon rises, Tawang Town is just ahead!

"Report, there are no sentries, no open sentries, no hidden sentries!" Zhang Aiguo leaned against a big tree, listening to the words of several scouts who had just been sent out.

A few kilometers away is the station of the Indian army. The border area between the two countries is so tense now. The Indian army must be on high alert. A sneak attack will be very difficult. Moreover, the infantry division behind is still climbing over the mountain. It may not happen until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Able to arrive, their main task now is to find out the garrison situation of the Indian army, then call for air support, and then blow them to pieces.

But now, they have almost reached their home base, but they have never encountered the Indian army. There are no small patrols and no sentries. Everything is so strange.

"Come on!" Zhang Aiguo said, "Catch your tongue and ask about the situation."

Since no open sentry or hidden sentry has been found, continue to get closer and try to capture a prisoner!

They were approaching the garrison step by step. If the garrison was alerted and a large number of Indian troops came out, they would have no choice but to flee.

As he gradually approached the garrison wall, the questions in Zhang Aiguo's mind grew bigger and bigger. All of this was so unusual. What was going on?

He quickly touched the root of the wall, climbed up the wall skillfully, and used an infrared imager to observe the inside. Zhang Aiguo became even more puzzled.

There was no movement, the entire station was empty!

"Grandma, there's no one left!" Zhang Aiguo jumped down from the wall and couldn't help feeling a little depressed. He came all the way without firing a shot. The Indian garrison had already run away!

With a company, they entered the camp that could accommodate tens of thousands of garrison troops. Zhang Aiguo saw that inside the dormitory, there were no bedding rolls, only the beds were empty, and the kitchen was covered with dust. It was obvious that no one had been there for several days.

"Inform the brigade commander that the Indians have escaped." Zhang Aiguo said.

I searched all the way and planned to fight, but now there is no need for anything, the Indians are gone! Just now he felt something was wrong, but now he finally realized that there wasn't even a car here!

As the flattest piece of land in Arunachal Pradesh, there are wide enough roads to pass here. Although the Indians are poor, the second-line troops can still afford cars. And in this station, there is an empty training ground. There were no cars, so everyone had obviously evacuated.

Run into the ravine and set up an ambush for yourself? Absolutely impossible. The terrain in the northern mountainous area is so complicated that the Indians don't even know where they are coming from. How can they set up an ambush? Besides, the J-H-7s waiting in the rear were enough to smash their ambush circle. (To be continued ~^~)
