Jiang Huating wrote the telegram to Enzhucang Gonbu Tashi very carefully and politely.
After all, Enzhucang Gonbu Tashi is the leader of the teaching army, and he is the "former enemy staff officer". Don't compare with the leader. Compared with the deputy leaders of the teaching army, his officer is also one level smaller .
……
Gongga.
It was broad daylight.The Lhasa River, which flows from Lhasa, flows into the Brahmaputra River here.In the early morning, the cowhide rafts of the Dalai Lama's party were supported by Nanmu Township, and water and food were sent up. They also followed a few more rafts, each equipped with seven or eight guards and teaching troops, and continued to move forward. Gongga rowed away.
Dalai's diarrhea is obviously not healed, and he has no appetite at the moment, lying down on the raft at the back of the fleet to rest.
The three ships in front of the fleet were all guard rafts of the Guards, and the rebels on them suddenly heard a loud "bang!", and then some rebels noticed that an object on the shore was dragging a long white smoke towards The raft flew.
In the sound of the explosion, half of the leather bag of the first raft was blown to pieces, and the raft capsized in the river instantly.
"Rockets! Rockets!" The guards on the two rafts behind shouted, and all kinds of long and short guns fired aimlessly towards the shore, hitting the rocks and sparks on the shore.Because of being too excited, another guard was pushed back by the recoil of the gun and fell into the Lhasa River on his back, and his companions had no time to rescue him.
The shooting of the guards was useless. A minute later, another rocket was fired from the shore, which still hit the second raft with perfect accuracy.
The first rocket pierced directly into the leather pouch near the waterline of the raft, but the impact point of the second round was different, and the rocket flew directly into the crowd of the raft.After the explosion, the seven or eight guards flew into the Lhasa River in various postures just like their companions who entered the water first.
It took only 3 minutes for the three escort rafts to be destroyed one by one by the rockets. The rafts at the back of the fleet no longer dared to move forward. They frantically rowed the rafts to the shore and let everyone ashore.
Just as the raft touched the shore, there was another gunshot from the place where the rockets were fired in the distance.
There was only the sound of a gun, a single-shot rifle.But a soldier on the side of the fleeing team immediately fell to the ground.
"First attack those who wear ordinary clothes, these are armed rebels; those who wear brocade clothes and colorful colors are high-ranking officials, and we must save them to catch prisoners."
Beside the sniper, Lang Yuqing, the captain of the 54th Division of the Special Reconnaissance Brigade of the 7th Army, also served as the deputy shooter of the sniper.
……
Lhasa.
"Last night's battle was counted. About 1 rebels in Lhasa were repelled by me. There were 905 corpses in the city. Our army captured 552 prisoners. The rest of the rebels fled, but most of them returned to the King of Medicine In the battle, 32 soldiers and civilians of our side died, and about 100 people were injured.”
Zhang Guohua reported to the Chengdu headquarters by phone.
Deng Shuai: "Now there are rebels entrenched in Yaowang Mountain, Potala Palace, and Norbulingka. Among them, Yaowang Mountain has the most rebels. The garrison in Lhasa must act quickly to block these places and nail the rebels. On the mountain, create conditions for killing them all."
Zhang Guohua: "Our army is short of manpower in Lhasa. Now we have to search the whole city to find the remaining rebels who have fled, to help Tibetans restore life order, to clean up the battlefield, and..."
"These tasks can be handed over to the militiamen, employees, and fellow Tibetans. You must immediately dispatch three companies to put nails in the vicinity of Yaowang Mountain for surveillance. You can't attack now, but you can't let them run away. Yes! If these thousands of people go back to Shannan, our next stage of fighting will be more difficult, so we must solve this problem in Lhasa.”
Chapter 208, it's a big deal
The most unexpected thing about Enzhucang Gonpo Tashi on February 2 was that he failed to escape.
Under Jiang Huating's persuasion, Gongbu Tashi decided to evacuate from Lhasa, but on the evening of the 23rd, a group of people drove hundreds of horse-drawn carts and ox carts to the south from Norbulingka, Potala Palace, and Yaowang Mountain. After going out less than 500 meters, he was stopped by the guard company of the Tibet Military Region and three militia companies.
Now the whole city of Lhasa is in chaos. The rebels counted more than 5300 people in the morning. However, three or four hundred rebels who were still in shock came back one after another. They probably lost their way last night.
In order to escape smoothly, Gongbu Tashi ordered the teaching guards and anti-water Tibetan troops to continue wreaking havoc in Lhasa on the 23rd.
Therefore, the purpose of the actions of these rebels on the 22nd and 23rd days can be briefly summed up in one sentence: "Let the leaders go first."
The main purpose of the riot on the night of the 22nd was to let the Dalai Lama and the senior officials of the Kashag go first, and the riot on the night of the 23rd was to let Kampot Tashi go first.After all, Gongbu Tashi is the commander-in-chief of the Guards Army, so he can't hang on here. There are [-] troops in Shannan waiting for him to lead.
On the night of the 23rd, tracer bullets continued to draw bright lines in the air. The pack horses and yaks pulling the carts were frightened and fled within 10 minutes of the battle. The guard companies of the Tibet Military Region fought fiercely. The 800 people in the two generations were actually beaten back by more than 100 guard company soldiers and some militiamen, and finally returned to Yaowang Mountain.
"Lord Buddha!" Gonpo Tashi said sadly looking up to the sky, "Although I have not been able to leave Lhasa, Lord Buddha, you are safe, and I will not waste my life!"
……
Near Gongga, on the banks of the Lhasa River.
The Dalai Lama does not have telepathy, so he cannot hear Gongbu Tashi's confession of despair.
Suokang Kalun trembled, tried three times, and finally retrieved the food and water bag from the raft by the river. Regardless of etiquette, he took out a piece of pastry and handed it to the Dalai Lama: "Buddha, please eat."
After the Dalai Lama finished eating, Suokang took out a few cakes from the food bag, and he had to fill his own stomach.
The reason why Suokang went to the raft to fetch food himself was because the servants went to kill one by one. Later, those servants and soldiers refused to go. Suokang took out his gun and cursed and forced them to go. Most of the soldiers slipped away quietly.
On this day, the fleeing team was driven ashore from the Lhasa River to this place mixed with rocks and withered grass. The cold guns could not hit them temporarily, but the whole team could not move.
When it was first intercepted, there was a bazooka and a gun shooting from the shore.
Suokang thought he could rush over there, and after landing, he gathered more than 30 guards and personal soldiers, and attacked the place where the sniper was shot.When I was about to rush there, two light machine guns appeared suddenly, and the light machine guns were very accurate. Every time they clicked, one of them would definitely fall down here.After losing nearly twenty men, Suokang's breakout operation failed.
The 7th unit of the reconnaissance brigade that intercepted the fleeing team actually did not have a light machine gun. The team consisted of six people, equipped with a sniper rifle, a rocket launcher, and three 1 punches. The raft team kept rushing no matter what, even if the 1 rockets hit every shot, nearly half of the rafts would break out of the blockade.
But Suokang finally gave up and ordered everyone to go ashore and hide.
"Where's Gongga's reinforcements? Where's Gongga's reinforcements?" Ali Rinpoche said with tears.
……
Gongga now has no reinforcements.
The situation in Gongga is that there is a platoon of the People's Liberation Army in the city, and more than 20 cadres and more than 100 Tibetans have built a soil enclosure around the county government; there are more than 200 rebels outside the city. Many rebels would definitely not be able to break through the county government, so they occupied a manor outside the city and confronted the Gongga County government across the air.
On the morning of February 2, the manor of the rebels was suddenly bombed.
The platoon leader of our army stationed in the county government heard a voice that was unfamiliar to him in the morning, saying that the Sunflower Garden had almost been taken down, and came over to clean up the battlefield.
The call from the Tibet Military Region Command also confirmed that this is indeed the case, just listen to the captain of the 8th team.
The Gongga garrison left the county government and cautiously approached the manor called Sunflower Garden.When I went there, I saw that the building had been blown up, and there were corpses on the ground.
"The leader of the rebel army in Lhasa sneaked out of Lhasa. He wants to go to India. Gongga is the only way to go. We will transfer immediately, and we will block and intercept the team of the leader of the rebel army. Can your Gongga County send out A few people? Not too many, a dozen or so people are enough.”
"The garrison in our county has a total of 34 people..." the platoon leader said, "In this case, I will take two squads to go with you."
……
2 month 24 day.
The uprising in Lhasa entered its third day.
To be honest... If it weren't for the fact that white phosphorous bombs could not be used in many places in Sarah, the rebellion would have been suppressed long ago.
On the night of February 2, the garrison, cadres, and Tibetans relied on Tuweizi for defense. On February 22, our side began to walk out of the enclosure, and the two sides came and went, but our army successfully blocked the way for Norbulingka and the leader of the Yaowangshan rebels to flee south.
On February 2, the garrison around Lhasa eliminated the rebels harassing nearby and dispatched manpower to reinforce Lhasa.In addition to the People's Liberation Army, militiamen and Tibetans with guns also came for reinforcements.
"Political Commissar Deng, we must hold our breath at this time."
