The video conference between Su Yu and Deng Shuai.
"Political Commissar Deng, we have made careful arrangements for the whole of southern Tibet. Every link is not too much, not too late. If we implement it step by step to the end, we will be able to maximize the effect of the counter-insurgency battle. wrong."
"Commander Su, trapping the rebel leaders in Yaowang Mountain is good for the entire campaign, so that they can't run far and cause less damage to our parts of Tibet." Deng Shuai said, "Besides, , Lhasa is doing well now, not only cleared most of the urban areas of Lhasa on time, but also held down the rebel leader.”
Su Yu smacked her lips, "Yaowang Mountain is a bit high..."
Not only is the terrain high, but there are also two sections of city walls and several bunkers.Although the city wall was built in 1795 and the blockhouse was built in 1860-1880, they are more or less considered fortifications.
What Suyu envisioned was to resolve the fighting outside of Lhasa.If Gonbu Tashi wanted to escape, he must have fled south with the elite guards, which meant that there were not so many boats that could carry them away, so they could only walk southwest-south-southeast along the banks of the Lhasa River.
Taking this road, our army can easily cut the rebels to their bones before they reach Shannan.
……
Shannan City.
The guard army assembled around Zhegu Town - Zhegu Co (Lake) started its movement on February 2. From Zhegu Town, passing through the Tomb of the King of Tibet and Layu Township, on February 22, four thousand guard troops invaded Shannan Seeing that the enemy's strength is only less than four times the advantage, the two battalions of Shannan City and Shannan City's 2 garrisons did not retreat to the building and soil enclosures, but set up firepower support points and trench lines on the periphery of Shannan City.
From the war to the 24th, the guards had nothing to do with the defense system of Shannan City. Instead, they left more than 500 corpses in front of our army's firepower support point.
Jiang Huating also moved forward from Zhegu Town to the Tomb of the King of Tibet, where the former enemy command post was established.After hearing the news that the frontline guards had lost many troops in Shannan City, Jiang Huating thought hard at the front enemy headquarters to find a way to break the situation.
The situation in Lhasa is very bad. According to the news this morning, Gongbu Tashi failed to escape, and the guards were almost unable to survive in Lhasa.This is tens of thousands of horses.
The Dalai Lama did run out, but communication is cut off now, and he may not report back until tomorrow when he arrives at the guard stronghold in Gongga.
The former enemy command post is in the area of the Tibetan king's tomb, to be precise, it is in the tomb guard's house near Songtsan Gampo's tomb.Jiang Huating walked out of the command post and saw a group of guards climbing up the mound of Songtsan Gampo's tomb with explosives.
"Suolang Daiben, what are you doing?" Jiang Huating asked.
"Blow up the monastery on the top! This Songtsan Gampo, he is not a good thing for taking refuge in the Han emperor!"
Jiang Huating: ...
There is a small temple on the roof of the tomb of Songtsan Gampo, in which statues of Songtsan Gampo, Princess Wencheng and Princess Chizun are enshrined.The Guards charged with explosives and blew up the little monastery into a heap of rubble and destroyed the tombstones.
The loud "bang" on the top of Fengtu finally opened the place that Jiang Huating had been stuck in his mind. He knew what was wrong with the current battle situation:
In the past three days, Chinese planes have not bombed Shannan.
……
Does the PLA have no planes that can be sent to Tibet for missions?of course not.
From the end of January to the beginning of February, the People's Liberation Army planes flew over the mountains of Shannan from time to time. Of course, there was usually only one, or at most two, flying aimlessly without dropping bombs.Jiang Huating also saw a plane with his own eyes. It was a Tu-1, a heavy bomber, and of course it might be a reconnaissance plane converted from a bomber.But since there were planes hovering overhead before the war, the sky has been quiet these two days, which is not normal.
Jiang Huating ran a few steps and got into the doorway of the gravekeeper's house.Just getting used to the dimly lit environment inside, an officer of the Guards Army stepped forward and said to him, "Sir, something happened in Gongga, and the Han planes blew up the Sunflower Garden!"
Jiang Huating knew the Sunflower Garden, which was the only way for the guards to go to Lhasa. The guards set up an armed stronghold in this manor.
"Yesterday morning, more than a dozen large planes of the Han Chinese bombed Sunflower Garden in turn, killing most of our people, and only a few escaped. This morning, the escaped people met our own people in Zha Nang, and only then did we understand of."
Jiang Huating was stunned.Thinking about it just now doesn’t seem quite right. Is the People’s Liberation Army’s air force fully supporting the operations near Shigatse-Tibet?
……
Kalimpong.
The CIA's training center in Kalimpong has been busy these two days.
Several antennas above the house, including a high-powered radio with direct connection to the CIA South Asia Center. On the 22nd, Kalimpong reported to the South Asia Center the news that the Guardians had launched an attack in Tibet. Washington should be discussing countermeasures now, but no new instructions were sent to Kalimpong, which shows that the White House is also working on this matter. And tangled.
On the 24th, Kalimpong received news that the situation in Lhasa was not good, hesitated for a long time, and decided to suppress the news for a day before releasing it.
Because the two teams of reinforcements going to Tibet are on their way.One team departed from Kalimpong, led by a CIA intelligence officer, crossed the Himalayas to Shigatse, and the other team departed from Assam, not directly led by the CIA, but a military contractor transporting ammunition supplies The team was sent to Shannan by Derang Zong.
The convoy from Kalimpong is relatively small, while the convoy from Assam is large. This time, it will transport 500 various firearms and hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition, as well as 2 large quantities of food and medicine supplies.
"I don't have too many demands on these Tibetans, as long as they can persist in guerrilla warfare in Shannan," said Dellas, a senior agent of the CIA. Stop it, or there will be a lot of trouble."
……
2 month 25 day.
A convoy composed of caravans from India and Bangladesh loaded up munitions and supplies at Naogun and drove the horses all the way north.
Their route is equivalent to climbing up from the southern slope of the Himalayas.
Starting from Naogong, passing through Tezpur, Baruchpan, Bangdila, and Derangzong, the altitude gradually increases and the temperature drops slightly.However, the climate in Derangzong is much better than most places in Tibet. After all, the warm and humid air from the Indian Ocean can reach this place at the southern foot of the Himalayas. The precipitation is extremely abundant, and the temperature is several degrees higher than that on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
After passing Derangzong, the transport team continued to move forward. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be the most difficult—they must pass through the Himalayas to reach the so-called "guerrilla base" in Shannan.
"Crack! Crack! Da da da!"
Gunshots on both sides of the mountain road.The bullet hit the road ahead of the convoy, kicking up a small cloud of dust.
Three People's Liberation Army soldiers appeared in front of them, two of them were carrying 3 punches, and the platoon leader in the middle had a pistol at his waist, but only a loudspeaker in his hand.
"Listen up, the transportation team ahead. What you are transporting is illegal materials, and they will be confiscated now. We guarantee your personal safety and the safety of your property, but please unload the goods from your horses and return back the same way with your pack horses."
……
Derangzong.
The 54rd Battalion of the 130th Regiment of the 390th Division of the 3th Army rushed out of the dense forest around Derangzong. In addition to the guns in their hands, more than 400 soldiers were also carrying heavy bags. Everyone’s boots and trouser legs were covered with yellow and black mud. Look, there are salt crystals on the collars and cuffs of the soldiers, which are left by repeated sweating and steaming in the past 8 days of continuous marching on the plateau and mountains.
Interspersed with long-distance mountains, a small number of troops went straight behind the guards, cut off the communication line between the guards' controlled area and India, and realized a large siege without any suspense.
This is the general plan of the campaign that Su Yu made for Deng Shuai in Beijing.
Jiang Huating is a battalion commander, he really thought he could compete with Suyu, no way.
Derangzong was a small town with a population of less than 80 people at this time, and there were only 3 to [-] guards in the town. The [-]rd Battalion had no firepower preparations, and only one charge beat the guards out of the town. The remaining dozen people ran to the two military camps outside the town.
Peng Haohui, commander of the 3rd Battalion, took a look through the binoculars. Although the two military camps were not big, they had walls and watchtowers. illuminator.
"No hurry, there are still 5 minutes to drop the bomb." Peng Haohui put down his earphones and said to the four soldiers.
……
On the mountain road north of Derangzong, the 130nd Battalion and 390nd Company of the [-]th Regiment of the [-]th Division, which stopped the transport team, supervised the Indian and Bangladeshi transport workers. Take it off.
The leader of the convoy, an Indian, muttered something.
"What about the translation? Come and help me figure it out, what is he talking about?"
"He said, you Chinese fight when you fight, why invade India?"
