"Yuanzi's thigh was hit by shrapnel, he was bandaged, and now the bleeding is barely stopped. Zhang Shun may have broken a rib. These two people need to be evacuated for treatment, and the other comrades are safe for the time being."

The company commander couldn't make a decision about the counterattack, so he reported to Ali's frontier defense detachment by phone, and the frontier defense detachment sent a mobile company to report to Wu Rong the approximate location of the Indian army's firing.Near Lake Spangul, the Chinese and Indian troops disengaged according to their respective instructions. The place 2 to 3 kilometers away from our military post was originally a buffer zone where neither side had garrisoned troops.

However, at 6:40 in the evening, when this company attacked the position where the Indian army was firing artillery, the position of the second squad became quiet, and the Indian mortars stopped firing.

The counterattack of the border detachment was not blocked on the way of attack.All the way over, at a place 2700 meters away from the post, on a low-lying flat land, the frontier guard company found three American-made 3mm mortars, and there were several empty ammunition boxes scattered beside each mortar. The artillery and the messy empty boxes and garbage on the ground, the entire position was empty.

What does this mean? The imported mortars are still new in [-]. After firing [-] or [-] rounds each, they will be discarded. Is there such a local tyrant?

In New Delhi, Menon asked the Army Staff to investigate the matter within half an hour, and then ordered the secretary to tell the Chinese ambassador Pan Zili outside the Prime Minister’s Office to wait for 40 minutes, and then Nehru and Menon were anxious and bored in the office waiting for the result.

Pan Zili was also very anxious, but after Nehru accepted the note, he did not issue an order to evict the guest, but asked him to wait for 40 minutes, so Pan Zili guessed that Nehru might also be in touch with the front to find out the ins and outs of the matter.

After waiting in the reception room for 40 minutes, the secretary came in and said that Prime Minister Nehru and Minister Menon had made arrangements and they would meet right away.

"We deeply regret the shelling incidents on the front line," Nehru said. "According to our investigation, the Ministry of Defense, the General Staff, the front-line military districts, army headquarters, and division headquarters have never issued any shelling incidents." Command. However, the garrison troops on the front line did hear continuous artillery fire for several minutes, but it is not clear which side fired the artillery."

Pan Zili: "It was our sentry position that was shelled. Because of the shelling, 3 people from our border guards needed to be evacuated to the hospital for treatment. In addition, 50 minutes after the shelling incident, we found 3 abandoned gates in the buffer zone. Mortars, these mortars are standard models equipped by your side."

Menon: "If the scene is indeed as you described, it does not rule out that third-party guerrillas in Kashmir stole these artillery pieces and then used them to harass China or India to further disrupt the security situation in Greater Kashmir, so that they can gain Profit."

"Then I hope you will do further investigation." Pan Zili handed over a few more documents, "This is the news just received, the factory numbers of the three mortars we seized."

……

Sending Pan Zili away, Nehru was still at a loss.

It only took 30 minutes to investigate ahead, so of course no detailed investigation report could be drawn up. It was only confirmed that the commanders at the regimental level and above were not messing around.

Then we can only continue to investigate.

The serial numbers of the three mortars provided by China were sent to the Indian Army’s supervisory agency, and the source was finally found in the armory the next day. It really came from the mortar platoon of the 3th Battalion of the Indian Army’s Kumaang Regiment .However, the soldiers of the mortar platoon were far away from the front line, and all had alibi.After China and India eased, their entire platoon withdrew to a low-altitude area to rest, but the mortar remained in the local Kumaang United Armory.

Then, the investigation team of the Indian Army discovered strange phenomena: a lieutenant administrator of the armory was missing, and a sergeant major (belonging to the infantry) of the 13th Battalion was missing.

During this period of time, more than a dozen soldiers from the Kumaang Regiment were missing. This is a normal phenomenon. There are always soldiers who flee, and some can be captured, but most of them cannot be captured.But in the past, those who fled were cannon fodder soldiers, and sergeant majors and administrators would not flee.

When the investigation team got here, the clues were cut off, and nothing could be found.

……

"On the order of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I once again protested the 1.25 shelling incident in the disputed area between China and India, and urged the Indian side to find out the truth as soon as possible and give a reasonable explanation."

The shelling incident was protested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Pan Zili went to the Prime Minister's Office every two days to submit a note.Domestic newspapers also named and angrily denounced the Indian Army's investigation of the shelling incident as covering up the truth.

The Indian side played dead.

Although the investigation team did not find out anything, they also vaguely feel that this matter should be India's fault.And it has something to do with the two officers and sergeants who escaped mysteriously, but I don’t know who these two people are working for, the Kashmir guerrillas?China?U.K?Or... America?

Since it was its own fault, and it was caused by its own infiltration by unknown forces, India simply pretended to be deaf and dumb, and the preliminary preparations for the China-India Gdansk talks could not continue.

Lop Nor.

The Spring Festival of 1960 was probably the most humble Spring Festival Tang Hua had ever lived through...

I live in a low-rise single-storey bungalow. To enter the door, you have to walk down the steps for more than one meter. The building is very thick, but there is no decoration. The walls are not even whitewashed, and bricks can be seen.Heating is done by burning a coal stove in the middle of the room. There is enough coal in the base station, but you have to add coal to the stove yourself.

The New Year's Eve dinner is a hot pot for a whole room. There are three hot pots on the table, one with clear soup, one with slightly spicy soup, and one with spicy soup.Everyone met and ate. The meat was only mutton slices and luncheon meat. Luckily, there was plenty of it. Vegetables were relatively rare. There were twelve or three people in the whole room, and there was only one basin of lettuce and one basin of Chinese cabbage.

"Tomorrow the work of the ground sampling and inspection team will be over. No. 2 test tower passed the inspection without any damage. No. 2 monster can go up the tower at any time," Zhang Yunyu said, "Of course it cannot be damaged. No. 2 test tower is far away from No. It's more than 1 kilometers away."

Tang Hua: "This is because the order of the three monsters' test explosions is well arranged. The last one has the largest yield and the largest damage radius, but when it is tested, the other two test towers are used up and burnt."

Nie Shuai: "Professor Deng, Researcher Yu, after Qiongqi exploded, you re-checked the design of Wuwu so soon?"

Deng Jiaxian: "Yes. In fact, as early as when the 542 reactor was in operation and enough nuclear fission data were extracted, we had a general understanding of the atomic bomb's explosion mechanism and explosion process. The Qiongqi explosion was the final word. With the data, we understood everything about the atomic bomb at once.”

Yu Min: "We are now waiting for the test explosion on February 2."

"By the way, the second congratulatory message sent by the central government to the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb development team has appeared in the newspaper." Nie Shuai said.

Tang Hua: "It's time to draft the third congratulatory message."

Qian Sanqiang: "Is there any reaction from the outside world to China's test of a 12-ton nuclear bomb?"

Nie Shuai: "Foreign countries, the United States and the United Kingdom expressed serious concern about China's movements. The United States said that China's test was an enhanced atomic bomb, not a hydrogen bomb. India didn't say a word. The Soviet comrades sent us a congratulatory message the next day. It was the French reaction. It was relatively strong, and it can be said that French public opinion exploded."

On January 1, France became the fourth country to possess nuclear weapons. On January 1, China followed suit and became the fifth.

At this time, France is still in a good mood. I am the fourth child, and I am one step ahead of China.And I put a 6.5-ton fission bomb, and China's is 2.4 tons.But France's good mood ended on January 1. What is 24 tons, China released a 6.5 tons.Moreover, the United States later labeled the Chinese nuclear bomb: an enhanced atomic bomb, which uses a part of nuclear fusion material!

France's research on the hydrogen bomb has just begun this month...

Hotan Airport.

Since December 1959, Hotan Airport has been in a state of battle, with bombers and fighter jets maintaining a 12% integrity rate, ready to support the self-defense counterattack on the western front at any time, just like in southern Tibet.

As the most important air base supporting ground operations on the western front, Hotan Airport is under great pressure.

Although the general headquarters has been set, our army basically relies on the air force to sweep the ground on the eastern front, that is, southern Tibet. On the western front, the conditions are too poor, so it is still the ground troops that carry it. However, the 18th air division is facing a combat direction that India has more than a dozen An airport and two-thirds of the air force can be put into combat. At that time, hundreds of fighter jets may have the opportunity to pounce. How will the 18th Air Division fight?

However, the Indian army has not carried out a major military offensive on the western front, which makes the air force that is scheduled to support the western front feel lonely.

On January 1, Hotan Airport got busy early in the morning. The runway was cleared and preparations were made for pick-up. At 27:10 am, two Tu-4 bombers landed one after the other.The ground staff at the airport immediately surrounded the plane to check and refuel the plane, and the pilot could get off the plane and stretch his legs and bend over.

"You landed with a bomb? It's amazing." Wang Dinglie, the commander of the 18th Air Division, walked to the side of the runway to see the pilot of the bomber. "The Hotan base actually reserves Tu-4 ammunition, as well as fuel and accessories. As long as it supports Tu-4 Materials for flying and fighting, everything."

"Reporting, sir, I know," said the captain of the first Tu-4, the head of the 9th Regiment of the 26th Air Division, "Your inspection and refueling movements are very skillful. It's really good. You should have practiced it before..."

Wang Dinglie: "Not only have we practiced before, our ground troops will use teaching aids to practice how to repair and inspect Figure-4 once in a while."

"However, the ammunition we are carrying this time is special ammunition, a very special kind of special ammunition. Your base does not have it. We can only hang it from Xi'an to the magazine, and then fly directly to Hotan."

"China and India have basically ceased fire now. You are going to fly to India, and you still need to shoot bombs. Are you... firing propaganda bombs towards India?" Wang Dinglie asked.

Chapter 6, Dongfeng Express

Tu-4 took off from Hotan Airport, and immediately climbed with all its strength, flying from Xinjiang over the Karakoram Mountains at an altitude of at least 5500 meters, and into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

However, the Tu-1 that took off on January 29 has no problem climbing up. The Tu-4 with a maximum bomb load of 9 tons has only one missile on it today, weighing 4 tons.The fuel tank of Tu-1.4 was not full either, only about 4% was filled, because the round-trip range of this attack did not exceed 80 kilometers.

The reason why he stopped at Hotan Airport for a day was that Pan Zili sent a telegram back to China from New Delhi, informing him that the two houses of the Indian Parliament would hold a plenary session from the morning to noon of January 1, and the "messenger" would send the letter on this day, which would have the best effect.

At 1 am on January 29, Tu-10 took off, and after about 4 hours of flight, it approached the Himalayas over Ngari.The China-India boundary line here is near the mid-ridge of the Himalayas. China does not plan to send manned aircraft into Indian airspace, so it is time to drop a bomb.
