.

After the fight started, India was panicked. The key Dawang was: Major General Niranjan Prashad, who fought, began to make an emergency arrangement, and the Fourth Division was responsible for defending the Tagra frontline and Niangjiang River Valley and the Dawang area. Niranjan Prasha tried his best to make a correct judgment after being exposed to a large amount of information.

Yet he soon realized that they were sadly lacking the expert procedures that should be taken when making such a major strategic decision under normal circumstances. Niranjan Prasad was very angry at these circumstances because his troops suffered huge losses due to such irresponsibility.

Niranjan Prashad always felt that the Indian army was good for fighting—there were heavy casualties in the sudden encounter, mainly because of poor logistics support in a relatively unfavorable position. The failure of the Chidong operation was just a disgraceful example, due to the siege of superior forces. The troops in this defense zone gave up their positions and retreated.

After the war.8226; Major General Prashad wrote a memoir specifically about this battle..u In the story told by the soldier, it avoided debates about the diplomatic purposes and methods of the Indian government, nor did it involve the Sino-Indian negotiations dealing with the Himalayan border issue. Only parts of this military record are recorded.

"In 1908, I first involved in the northern issue++ construction of Tibetans. At the same time, I tried not to touch the resistance of those leaders, and at the same time implemented a large-scale road construction plan. However, due to the harsh natural environment in Tibet and the relative friendship at that time, China did not make every effort to carry out this construction. (Note. This section is a bit of a deviation from understanding. At that time, China was carrying out unprecedented infrastructure construction, including greening the Loess Plateau and building Siberian ~ + national strength to support the large-scale construction of Tibet). It has outstanding strategic significance. China has put forward requirements for a large tract of territory on our border. Out of a statement of friendship between China and India, we had to exchange part of the land, including strategic areas, in exchange for the unsincere peace promises of the Chinese people.

However, some of the events that followed, especially in Ladakh, show that China is actually garrisoning its demands - along the Himalayan dividing line and gradually invading in Aksaichi. In the Northeast Border Special Zone, China's border forces tried to threaten our army. They forced us to retreat from our outpost in Kenzemani (note, this paragraph is also a problematic description, which is the territory of China). However, that time, because of our determination, we returned to our original position.

In India, many people have foreseeed the eventual military threat from China. Of course, we have also slowly begun to make some preparations. However, the urgency and purpose of these preparations have been largely offset by the Governor of India, who, as a British, never considered for India.

They ridiculed any statement about China's possible threat to India. For example, in an air force hangar in Agra on the 10th of the 10th of the month, he declared flatly: "I don't know any invasion, invasion, occupation or invasion of any part of India's territory." This was the general attitude of the supreme authorities at that time; "very good" the influence of this sense of comfort continued until the deadly day of 9/10, when the Chinese were out of their strings and their swords were unsheathed, and we were in a state of distraction under extreme tension."

This passage is excerpted from the memoir of Major General Niranjan Prashad, but India is far from as innocent as the major general said. In fact, there is a lot of evidence that the Dalai Lama was able to escape smoothly after the spring "rebellion" in Lhasa in 1912, largely because of Indian agents.

In order to escape the investigation of Chinese pursuers, the Dalai Lama took the hidden route of Mani-Dawang-Bandila. As a result, it highlighted the importance of Dawang. Originally, Dawang was already a famous Buddhist center with a large and influential Buddhist temple (respected as the birthplace of the great Fifth Dalai Lama, who was the builder of the Potala Palace in Lhasa). Indian troops were sent to the Northeast Border Special Zone for the first time to defend Dawang, and at the same time attempting to establish a snow-capped lion country. This arrogant idea was immediately counterattacked by China.

A large number of battleships blatantly passed through the Strait of Malacca. Each military region drew a portion of elite troops to form a terrible powerful force. Even the British Empire, which was at its peak at that time, had to temporarily lower its proud head and secretly warned India to immediately expel the Dalai Lama, a hot potato.

After losing the protection of Britain, the entire India was subdued by the visiting Chinese battleship formations. They surrendered under the huge 356mm naval guns of the battleship. Even the smallest battleship - county-level destroyer, reached 2,500 tons. You should know that India + cruiser, China's county-level destroyer is at least a squadron flagship in the Indian fleet, and it is a small matter in front of the visiting fleet of China. Anyone with discerning eyes can see that only cruisers can eliminate all the Indian fleet.

With the cannon reaching the national gates, India had to humiliately admit that His Majesty Zhao Gang's latest border line was occupied by China on this border line. Unlike other places, in high altitude areas, this is almost insurmountable natural barrier.

The war was about to begin, but the Indians' reaction was always beyond expectations. In September 1917, Major General Niranjan Prashad was called to attend the first defense meeting of the Northeast Border Special Zone. At that time, the star-level staff officer Torah Wai Lieutenant General - at that time he was the commander of the Eastern Military Region - he once directed a high-level exercise to study the threat of China, studying the possible routes China could enter and the depth of the possible advancement from the north.

Major General Niranjan Prashad was his subordinate when he was commanding the only paratrooper brigade in India in Agra. General Torat summoned Major General Niranjan Prashad to seek Major General Niranjan Prashad's views on the possible use of airborne troops. He felt that China was likely to drop a paratrooper somewhere in the Bramaputra Valley and cooperated with the main advance troops through the mountainous areas.

After Major General Niranjan Prashad studied all the intelligence information about the Chinese troops and their combat effectiveness, Niranjan Prashad

The conclusion is that China will not use airborne troops. Nilanjan will even believe that the Chinese are not able to use any of the Air Force's forces.

Major General Niranjan Prashad's opinion was not completely unauthorized. Although during World War I, Major General Niranjan Prashad was transferred from the Indian Army to the Royal Indian Air Force and commanded the reconnaissance flight of the First Squadron in the First Battle of Myanmar. Unfortunately, during World War I, Major General Niranjan Prashad had nothing to do and no enemy could enter the sight of his plane. This does not mean how powerful Major General Niranjan Prashad was, but only shows that India is in a peaceful area, but during World War II, India encountered an overly powerful enemy.

For various reasons, Major General Niranjan Prashad believed that China might limit military operations to ground forces without gradually escalating and expanding the scale of aggression. It is obvious that senior generals of the Indian Air Force are quite dissatisfied. However, the Supreme Command decided to reduce the scale of the battle - not to use the air force in the 1917 operation because:;|

This caused strong dissatisfaction from Major General Nilanjan Prashad:

"Why don't you have to attack them with the Air Force. Just bomb their supply routes!"

There was silence on the other side. In the end, Tora had to break the silence. He explained a little awkwardly: "This does not conform to the rules of combat. You know, the Chinese air force is very powerful, and it is ten times more numerous than me. We cannot risk angering the Chinese."

"Absurd. Angry the Chinese, now we are enemies, fighting to the death with the Chinese. You also know that once the Chinese start to act, they will not stop until the last moment. Only by demonstrating our strength can the Chinese realize that fighting with us is an act that is not worth the effort, and tolerating and raising rape will only make the Chinese more and more arrogant." Major General Niranzan Prashad waved his arms excitedly and spoke loudly in front of his former boss:

"Although our supply route is difficult, it is several times better than China. Even if the flight of China's planes is longer than our land, we only need to fly a few hundred kilometers to reach the front line. Just one thousand kilometers can see the supply route of the Chinese people. The Chinese planes need to fly over a long route of thousands of kilometers. When the front line is down, it is probably time to return. Do you think such an aircraft has combat effectiveness? Such an aircraft is the target of our land."

"Well. Although what you said makes sense, the Supreme Authority has issued an order that planes must not be sent to harass me. Just execute the order as a soldier." Lieutenant General Tora was a little angry. This anger came more from his dissatisfaction with the Supreme Authority and the ridiculous explanation that he could not be circulated.

"The Chinese have a strong sense of revenge. Since the Americans immoral bombed the Chinese capital, the Chinese have suppressed their revenge for less than a year, and then all the principal and interests are returned to the Americans. In the battle to wipe out the US Pacific Fleet in Australia, the Chinese also used white incendiary bombs, resulting in the death rate of the Pacific Fleet as high as 95%. Nearly one million American troops who surrendered before were also forcibly taken to a certain place to build roads. Just look at why the airport, which has not made much progress in Tibet for many years, has suddenly made rapid progress recently, and you will know where these American prisoners have gone. We will be defeated when fighting with China. If we resist tenaciously, then the Chinese's iron-blooded means will be applied to India in the future."

The conference room was silent. Major General Niranjan Prashad was unable to continue to talk about it in the face of such a big hat. The next discussion was to establish a "Border Road Construction Organization" and build the road to a distant border territory. Although the direction of this step was correct, it was not handed over to the "Border Road Construction Organization" as an emergency task. The arduousness of this project was obviously something that the existing domestic technical forces could not bear, and the project was carried out at a crawling speed.

China's pressure increased sharply every day; in order to move forward some time ago, in order to reach the remote border areas required by the government, many small outposts were established, but they did not have combat potential. During the entire period, the government continued to establish such simple small outposts along the border line in Ladakh, making it the most difficult to access.

Major General Niranjan Prashad was not disgusted with this suggestion. Since China is gradually moving forward, it is inevitable that the face-to-face conflict between the Chinese and Indian armed forces will eventually occur. However, it is very funny to discuss this plan at this time. The Chinese attack will soon be launched on a large scale. The main content of the discussion should be how to organize the troops, rather than talking about organizing road traffic. Major General Niranjan Prashad noticed that the lieutenant general had some warning vision, but the major general decided to turn a blind eye.

"Now. According to the "Operation Onkar" we carried out with code, the Northeast Border Special Zone was ordered to establish a series of border outposts. After the establishment of these outposts, we were like a big insurance policy with China's security." The speaker was Colonel Lasad, a young chicken hatched from a noble family, with fresh marks all over his body. His words finally ignited Major General Prasad's anger and anger in Major General Prasad's anger.

"Col. Have you noticed that these posts are set up at the end of fragile lines of traffic, most of which rely entirely on air supply. The worst feature of this plan of action is that it is impossible to determine the exact geographical location, because it is inaccurate to provide maps of field forces. Many locations in the border area are the territory required by both China and India. In this case, armed conflict is inevitable. Our leaders are responsible for foreseeing the possibility of such incidents and ensuring that the conflict does not escalate to a serious military disadvantage. Either that is it. Or accelerate the deployment of logistics support to the border. But they do not properly assume any of them.

In contrast, China's local preparations are far better than us. China has a unique style. It has a profound impact on our country in the construction of highways and airports in eastern Tibet. The highway network can allow China to concentrate and maintain the direct access of the large corps to the border. It is not difficult for China to reach it; because the terrain on Tibet is

Originally, many places are very flat and easy for military vehicles to drive. Such land will not become a big problem. China's strength is a hundred times more powerful than our country can completely fill in the inconvenience in construction.

The area north of the Dawang Protrusion is a typical example. On the contrary, on our side, we must cross the jungle and rainy hills to reach the main dividing line; while the Chinese can drive along the Yarlung Zangbo River line and reach our border almost directly. As long as they carry out limited projects, they can drive vehicles on the existing donkey and horse trails. Obviously, this is an unequal confrontation."

Major General Prashad's guidance was very clear that the tasks placed before India were by no means impossible to accomplish. The Chinese are not superhuman, and the arduous tasks faced by India are not more difficult than the Chinese. In fact, it is many times easier. But as recognized by all countries on this earth, you should never compare construction with China. Which country has an eight-digit construction army, and this number even exceeds the entire population of most countries.

An obvious example is that the Chinese are building Tibet at a crazy speed, and India, which started earlier, is a bit ridiculous.

The "Border Road Construction Organization" - codenamed Tusker - was established five years ago with the command center in Teespur. A huge road construction project was started in the Northeast Border Special Zone. One of the tasks of the first phase of the project was to complete the 200-mile road from Teespur to Wann from Teespur through Bondira and Seraton in the Carmen border. The rainfall in these mountains ranges from 100,150 inches a year, with loose soil and prone to landslides. On the lower plateau, large areas are covered with pristine jungles. In addition, once a straight line is set to climb up the mountain area, it usually has to pass through the ground of natural rock and sand, which makes road construction more difficult.

Due to the lack of various types of equipment, there were no laborers in the area except for some Tibetan refugees. However, by July 1916, vehicles with a load of 3 tons could be transported: = "Vod Mountain" is 70 miles in the camp in northern Misamali. After 70 miles in Bondira, military vehicles with a load of one ton could travel across the Sera Pass to Jean; from then on, only jeeps could cross the last 16 miles to Dawang. This section of the road could only be passed on sunny days. Considering such difficult working conditions and other difficulties, the achievement of the "Border Road Construction Organization" was indeed amazing: if it were not for the lack of equipment, their achievements would have been greater. However, no matter how great the achievements were, compared with the Chinese, the major general could only regretfully find that the gap was widened and would be wider, which made the major general extremely frustrated.

What made the Major General even more angry was that due to the difficulty of transportation, the deployment of the Fourth Infantry Division was hindered, so that it could not become a closely connected force, but was scattered everywhere. In addition, the 11th Infantry Brigade (formerly stationed in Darjeeling) had been transferred to Manipur in order to fight against the rebellion of Naga and belonged to the 23rd Division. Most of the units and their equipment under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Division were scattered in and around Teespur. The troops had to build houses for themselves. Here we can mention that the Fourth Infantry Division had spent two years building barracks for themselves when he was in Ambara. This task was neither loved by them nor improved their combat capabilities. Therefore, the situation of the house construction chores handed over this time will never be better than in the past.

The road construction plan was gradually carried out and the air transport was facilitated. The troops were transferred into the mountainous areas; naturally infantry was given priority, but the ammunition and equipment they received were strictly limited. This was a self-deception policy, because logistics support could only be barely maintained even according to the needs of peacetime; there was no question of providing wartime supplies. As for medical conditions, it took several weeks for the wounded and sick to be sent from the mountain to Tespur. Only in special circumstances can helicopters be provided; and only when weather conditions allow, they can fly, and good weather here is rare. Most of the supply supplies are subject to airdrops; whether it is a private air transport company or the Indian Air Force, despite their brave efforts, they always miss the situation because the materials cannot be transported in time.

The major general's anger finally burst out uncontrollably. This anger erupted after foreseeing the tragic future of his own troops. In the face of the powerful Chinese troops, the Fourth Division, which was already at a disadvantage, became a victim of the bureaucrats of his own country.

"You guys are sitting there, I think you have a lot of things, but I have something to say, please give me this honor. My words may be longer, please forgive me." Major General Niranjan Prashad's solemn attitude attracted the attention of everyone in the conference room. The conference room suddenly calmed down, and only the heavy voice of Major General Niranjan Prashad was heard.

"During World War I, the Fourth Infantry Division was a battle-hardened force in North Africa and the Mediterranean battlefields. In many years after the war, he was trained in plain combat on the Great Plains of Punjab. He was transferred from Punjab to Tisopur in November 1910. It was ordered to defend the Himachiya border in Bangladesh and the Northeastern border special zone to prevent Chinese invasion. The border it was responsible for extending from the trilateral border between Myanmar and Tibet and India in the east to Sikkim in the west, which was 400 miles long (except Bhutan); the entire defense zone was responsible for about 35,000 square miles.

Such a vast area actually requires 3 divisions, and according to the Chinese standards, six divisions are needed, but our bureaucrats think one is enough. However, this is not all. There is no way to get from the Assam plain to the border, so the supply of frontier outposts often has to be airdropped; because, on the ground, only when the weather is clear, walking along the sheep's intestine path cannot even pass through."

Major General Niranjan Prashad knocked on the table, and the table groaned, but no one noticed that they were shocked by Major General Niranjan Prashad's words. This was the first time even the Lieutenant General heard such remarks. Before this, he had always thought that the Fourth Division had the ability to control the Chinese offensive, which now seemed to be ridiculous.

"I think under such conditions, the use of this method to transport troops to the highlands of the Northeast Border Special Zone can only be used as a political action; it is another matter for military action. Because the garrisons deployed on the plateau are maintained by air operations, even in peacetime, such temporary arrangements

The expensive ones should not be used as the basis of military action plans. However, this is often forgotten. On these high grounds, even if the weather is good occasionally and the opportunity to fly freely is allowed, in order to obtain supplies, packaging, concentration, unpacking, sorting, distribution and finally sending to frontier forces, there are a series of problems; it is in peacetime. The weather is clear and on flat ground. It is difficult to rely entirely on air support in the Himalayas.

If you have complete air superiority, you can only maintain a small group of troops for limited military operations. That's all. The fundamental technique may be to formulate a combat plan in which the entire division relies entirely on air aid. We are not Chinese, and they can transport all the supplies with overwhelming aircraft. Even the flush toilet is not left, and it is easy to maintain an elite unit of 100,000 people. And we can only count on those masters, the weather, and the poor transportation system. I have enough of these! "

”

In Major General Niranjan Prashad's view, the problem with the Indian army is that it is too complacent and careless, and even has a little bit of an amateur in some aspects of military procedures. For example, taking intelligence work as an example. Major General Niranjan Prashad's belief that the current crisis is largely caused by wrong intelligence, including the procedures of detective staff. Military intelligence is not all James's color.

Military intelligence is a hard work and ordinary daily work. It is a highly complex and professional task, and the information it provides is of great value to all military services and the Ministry of the Interior. Broadly speaking, it can be divided into domestic intelligence and foreign intelligence. It can be called "counter-intelligence" or "public security". This task is best served by personnel trained by police - they have a legitimate identity and connection in the country, and in the end they are "users" of intelligence.

On the other hand, foreign intelligence should not be handled by the police; India is handled by the police. As far as Major General Niranjan Prashad knows, this system is like making an amateur boxer face a well-trained professional boxer, which is ridiculous. Despite this, as the main "user" of foreign military intelligence, they should have coordinated the acquisition and use of intelligence.

Although the national defense armies have the right to request that they collect intelligence themselves, the intelligence organization, determined by its own nature, must of course be controlled by civilians: as a highly specialized department, mainly dealing with military issues, then only people with military knowledge can provide valuable intelligence. Unfortunately, few troops or demobilized officers are involved in the collection of intelligence. The situation may be slightly better now, but from the perspective of the overall situation, it has not yet reached a significant difference from the past.

Of course, each service also has its own intelligence system, but the work they are going to do is to be at a different level, they are only responsible for collecting "tactical" or "direct contact" intelligence, such as front-line patrol reports, aerial photography, signal interception and similar sources. A large amount of major intelligence from a potentially hostile country must be obtained from the Central Intelligence Organization. Only it sets up institutions overseas to reach the governments of friendly countries and politically and internationally to various channels of people from all walks of life.

Thinking of this, Major General Niranjan Prashad was able to find a little fuse, which could vent his anger.

"Everyone, I have to say with regret that at present, our CIA has not provided useful intelligence; or that they have not explained the intelligence correctly. The reader will see later that the Intelligence Agency often tells us about the intentions and forces of the enemy, and that the intelligence we obtain from the frontline contacts, is estimated to be completely different. We often confirm this difference with our own eyes in the frontline areas. However, the Intelligence Director ignores our first-hand report—Major General Niranjan Prasad, does not understand what they are motivated.

Until the end, the Intelligence Agency continued to instill us with their estimates, saying that China would not resort to war to hold on to their demands. Those of us who saw with our own eyes that they were conducting military deployment and preparations in front of us were not believed. The Intelligence Agency was very sure that China's approach would continue to be peaceful—at least the Army Headquarters and its subordinate agencies continued to tell us so. All these assurances of the Intelligence Agency proved wrong, because on September 10, 1917, my troops paid a great price to recognize these mistakes.”

The arrogant investigators opposite the major general lowered their heads, and they could not look directly at the major general's eyes. At the same time, they clearly recorded it in their local books. The major general's accusations or false accusations against the National CIA have always been good at roundabout battles and will not fight head-on here. With the sound of fountain pens, the major general's evil words began to increase.

"In another area, the CIA lacks coordination and cumbersome procedures, which is manifested in the misallocation of tasks between commands at all levels and the refusal to accept the most direct suggestions made by relevant personnel in terms of operations. At least, as far as the frontlines of the Northeast Border Zone are concerned, there is very dissonance between commands at all levels; or, I guess, there is indeed a dissonance between governments and military groups. Private hatred, personal weaknesses, and in many cases, a complete lack of mutual trust between each other, leading to ridiculous situations, like Greek tragedy, leading to inevitable disasters.

Just this year, I was ordered to go to the 4th Infantry Division to replace Major General Amrik Singh, the winner of the Great Hero Wheel Medal. On the way to Assam, I reported to the Operations Office of the New Delhi Army Headquarters and listened to the situation. At this briefing meeting, there was no mention of China's intentions and forces, but I talked about the "Ankal Action Plan" in detail and its progress. The "Ankal Action Plan" is a code code for a plan, which is to establish a paramilitary post along the McMahon Line from the trilateral junction of Kenzemani in the west to India-Tibet-Myanmar. This plan stipulates that it must be completed by the end of July 1917.

McMahon Line was 1914 by Henry McMahon_..+Zone on a map without measurement, from

An inaccurate Himalayan border line to the north. In those days, after exploration, McMahon drew a thick blue line from Kenzemani to the eastern border point of Bhutan-Tibet-India based on his guesses. To say the least, this method of painting blurred the location of the Tagra ridge. Legend has it that there is a story in which a surveying official was about to finish this amazing task in the painting world and arrive at this location, his attention was attracted by a beautiful Menba girl, so the work in the painting world was not completed.

However, regardless of the reasons, the measuring authorities used a straight line to mark the military map with the three Indian-Bhutan-Tibet three, regardless of the actual characteristics on the ground. What is particularly strange is that the Indian government has not corrected this obvious error until the Indian government.

Obviously, someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not done his professional work well. This negligence cannot be easily forgiven or defended by the past; mainly because of this mistake, it has caused a critical dispute and laid a good foundation for the Chinese to start the war.

Although the "Ankal Action Plan" posts on the border will eventually be stationed by Assam's rifle team, these posts will be actually established under the supervision of the Indian Army. In most cases, the posts are stationed with a row of people and are almost entirely supplied by airdrops. (The fixed location and exact location of these posts are mainly determined by the Intelligence Agency rather than by the Army.)

If, according to my opinion, these posts stationed in a row of people have no tactical value. I have made suggestions: from a tactical perspective, establish battalions or at least company positions in appropriate depths, and send regular patrols from these positions until the boundary line we require. This will give these posts a dual value of tactical significance and political value.

The second suggestion is: the positioning of these posts should be "appropriate" under the jurisdiction of the Army and commanded and controlled by the army. However, both of my suggestions have been carefully studied, but only the decision of the Governor can count - the decision of the Governor is: the 35 posts on the McMahon line have been set, and at all costs and within the prescribed time limit Major General Niranjan Prashad was warned that this is a matter of great concern to the government, and it seems that the Army is dragging its back.

The time when Major General Niranjan Prashad went to the Army Headquarters made Major General Niranjan Prashad feel serious concern about the "Ankal Action Plan". Before leaving Delhi, Major General Niranjan Prashad went to the Army Chief of Staff Prashad. He also emphasized the urgency of implementing the "Ankal Action Plan" and the government's concern about the slow progress of the plan.

Then I flew to Teespur and arrived that afternoon. The rainy season reached its peak. General Amrik Singh is my old friend. We have served in the same regiment. The brigade commanders and most lieutenant-colon-level commanders and staff officers, Major General Niranjan Prashad; so Major General Niranjan Prashad got off the plane and came to his close friends and felt relaxed and happy.

I studied the military action plan and the deployment of troops on the ground, and then heard detailed reports from the Division General Staff, whose plans were formulated according to reports and instructions from the Army Headquarters Intelligence Department. However, these plans were difficult to implement on the ground; because the road construction plan was not completed on schedule and the necessary guarantees for air transport could not be often obtained even at the beginning of deployment.

The Fourth Division was widely scattered along the northern frontier. The 7th Brigade was under its command of two battalions of infantry, a regiment of artillery (18 artillery pieces) and a heavy mortar company, which was placed at the front of the salad, in the Dawang area, td miles away. These troops were lightly equipped and ammunition was only enough for one day to fight. In fact, this only represents the number of people on the ground and the population that needs food supply, rather than the forces capable of long-term warfare. During the rainy season, there were several frequent breaking pits on the way to Bondira; and after passing Bondira, there was almost no way to go. A helicopter airport near Dondira is still under construction.

In the Lochte border area, a poorly equipped battalion stationed in Walano under the jurisdiction of the 5th Brigade brigade, with only six guns. When you go to Walano, there are neither main roads nor paths for donkeys; there is only a simple airport for emergency use, which can accept water from helicopters and single-engine six-mounted aircraft.

The brigade of the Fifth Infantry Brigade is in Lakinpur, 200 miles from Varon. The 11th Infantry Brigade, as mentioned earlier, was transferred to Manipur and completely trapped in the battle against Naga. Therefore, Major General Niranjan Prashad's division only deployed two brigades to defend the Northeast Border Special Zone, and only three of the six battalions of these two brigades were stationed in the mountains.

The division headquarters' report mainly focused on the establishment of 35 progress in the "Ankar Action Plan". Interestingly, for some reason, the supreme authorities did not order the establishment of posts along the Tagra Mountains in the west of Kenzemani, which is the most sensitive area. This is left to the Fourth Infantry Division to order the establishment of an outpost near the three junction of India-Tibet-Bhutan (west of the Niangjiang River). In this way, the magic bottle was easily opened and all disputes that occurred later began.

I am well aware that establishing and maintaining the Ankar Action Plan will occupy all the manpower and material resources of the Fourth Division. Although the Army is not responsible for the administrative affairs of these posts in name, Major General Niranjan Prasad's experience in Nagahagao made me convinced that unless the posts of the Assam Rifle and the Intelligence Agency are closely supervised and managed, they are easily trapped in serious political dilemmas."

Just as the Major General was about to continue his marathon speech, the Lieutenant General stood up and interrupted the Major General with some embarrassment. He said with a serious expression: "Now I have been notified that the Chinese have started an attack on a large scale. We are going to end this meeting. Major General, you must go back and organize the team immediately and resolutely block the Chinese outside."

All the people present at the meeting felt that the lieutenant general's words were the most correct words.
Chapter completed!
