Two days ago, when Fasher arrived at Jimmy Pond, he found himself in a situation. Lieutenant General Kaul began to introduce his new staff politely. At this time, the lieutenant general was polite, but this kind of politeness usually appeared before completely defeating his opponent, just like before boxing matches, which was very cheap and hypocritical. Major General Feisher would only feel disgusted. Out of courtesy, the Major General saluted in an empty seat and faced a row of colleagues alone.

"Please allow me to introduce my Chief of Staff, Brigadier General Singh." He looked very polite to the Major General, but the Major General knew that the Chief of Staff was just to collect evidence for Lieutenant General Kaul, so he just gave a tribute slightly.

Subsequently, Brigadier General Maaragawad, winner of the Great Hero Wheel Medal, General Kaor's main engineering staff; Brigadier General Nair was the commander of the artillery brigade; Lieutenant Colonel Sangivarao, who was formerly at the Delhi War Office; a young officer of the armored forces, Major Nalindel Singh, was the second staff officer of Kakasingh.

After gathering so many elites, Major General Feschel held a brief meeting with Lieutenant General Caul.

"Dear Major General Feschel, how is your "Fourth Division Plan" going?" Lieutenant General Kaul asked very directly, but this question is difficult to answer. This plan was made by the brigade commander Dalvey in order to meet General Sen's orders when he was forced. However, now looking at Kaul's meaning, the government has grasped this "plan", as if from then on they finally found the answer to the dilemma.

"Sorry. Sen always advocated at the Delhi Army Headquarters. That is, the commanders on the scene have provided him with a combat plan to remove the Chinese from Tagra. It turned out that this task was to be completed on September 29. Subsequently, due to inevitable reasons, it had to be postponed. Sen had given a clear guarantee that the task was completed on October 1. Later, it was changed to 10 and finally to October 10. He blamed the former commander for the delays. So I had to accept this mess. I took this opportunity to formally declare to the Major General that he was authorized to command a new army, the Fourth Army, to expel the Chinese from the agreed day, that is, October 10."

Major General Feschel only felt a burst of pain on his head. What did these gangsters do? The plan was simulated at the beginning.

Even laymen can see how ridiculous it is. But the people in the military actually believed it. How could anyone believe in such a stupid plan and how many loopholes are there? It's so ridiculous!

"Lieutenant General. What I need to say is that there is a deep grudge between Sen and Umrao. That is to say, the false "plan" we made is very unrealistic."

Major General Feschel then reported to Lieutenant General Kaul the sad situation of shortages of ammunition and rations and almost complete lack of reserve weapons.

"When we drafted the so-called "plan", Zhangle was just a point marked with a pencil on the hand-drawn sketch. Later, it turned out that it was three days away from Shudong, and it could not be reached anyway unless it was passed by Zhangduo. It was very unrealistic to use Zhangle as the attack site on Tagra, the Piaotianlin-line; not only because of the long distance problem involved. It also seemed untenable because of the use of Zhangle as the supply base to support the attack on Zhangle as the base. Now it has been proved that Zhangduo cannot be used as a reliable airdrop zone; even Muhammad can only maintain a battalion instead of providing a brigade as planned."

Lieutenant General Kaul frowned. Obviously, this unexpected situation disrupted his plan. After a while, Lieutenant General Kaul discussed with his chief of staff for a while and decided to call Gumal in. Gumal was the local representative of the Intelligence Agency. Under the lieutenant general's inquiry, Gumal also focused on the difficulties in the terrain and then explained how China had been constantly gathering troops to strengthen their logistics to support operations south of the Tagra ridge. This made the major general feel a certain degree of relief.

"Oh, it's so bad. I thought that the plan was drawn up on a large number of facts, but I didn't expect it to be a castle in the air, and nothing worse than this. This guy Sen is such a liar. Now we still have to take the initiative to attack according to the plan he has formulated. It's so bad. Now the government is looking forward to us to realize this plan."

"Lieutenant General, what you said is really right. Only by telling the government the truth can they know what we are going to do. The powerful lion opposite, even if we have to maintain it with all our might, can we avoid angering it. To consolidate the position with all our might, means being able to withstand the attack of the enemy, and to avoid the ambition of this lion."

"Well, you're right. In fact, our idea is too simple. It seems that the illusion needs to be clarified as above, the telegrapher." Under Major General Feschel's desperate advice, Lieutenant General Kaul finally decided to send a secret telegram to the Military Region and the Army Headquarters, urging the Military Office to reconsider that "plan".

"To sum up, the situation is very difficult now. China has at least one brigade (actually two elite divisions) in Tagra, and they also have cannons, heavy mortars and other reserve weapons. The Fourth Division has nothing; the Chinese can easily sweep our positions, and the next thing is not difficult to imagine, which will directly lead to a "national disaster"

Let's talk about it here, Lieutenant General Kaul

If he said this, it would actually negate everything. Bao's future. Although the military headquarters has always claimed to be rational, Lieutenant General Kaul knew that the military headquarters prefers to see powerful generals who are brave enough to ask for battle, rather than cautious and wise generals. Out of fear of the typical style of the military headquarters, his telegram did not end in a warning tone, but asked for offensive air aid for combat. In this way, the entire telegram left a impression that he was still considering fighting.

Major General Feschel did not hear the last sentence, otherwise he would need more persuasion work to persuade him not to adopt this dramatic attitude in the future. However, it was precisely because of this attitude that Major General Feschel's career began to become increasingly darker. His old boss simply retired because of this.

Putting aside these troubles, Lieutenant General Kaul decided to set out to inspect the Kjelang River immediately so that he could estimate the situation personally. Major General Fessal could feel that the general had great expectations in his heart. If the force was not as large as expected, if it was maintained at a ratio of 5 to 1, we could still consider all the land transport tools. It was a Bell-type helicopter to attack appropriately. If it was one to one, then the attack could be considered. Only when the ratio was about 1 to 1, defense would be considered. In the heart of the lieutenant general, he always thought that the combat effectiveness of Chinese and Indian soldiers was very different. One Indian soldier could defeat five Chinese soldiers. Although Fessal and other generals on the front line knew the absurdity of this statement, this statement quickly occupied the military headquarters and became the most mainstream voice, resulting in many strange policies in India.

On the one hand, under pressure from Britain, India made some concessions, but in the heart, India thought it was wrong. And wanted to correct this point at all times to prove to the British that the Indian army is far stronger than the Chinese army, which can only show that Ah San's self-intoxication skills are invincible in the world.

In order to save time, the Lieutenant General decided to take a plane, which was a two-seat (including a pilot plane. However, young people from the Indian Air Force were willing to carry two passengers in each voyage; therefore, the Lieutenant General decided to transport his entourage to Sekim, transporting two people each time. Lieutenant General and Major General Feshal flew in the first batch. Others, it is impossible not to say that this decision was bold. At that time, the Indian Air Force's crash rate was extremely high, but out of custom, the military headquarters would carefully check out a zero on the report on the crash rate. If the Lieutenant General knew this fact, he did not know whether he had the courage to take the plane. However, it may be that the rank of Lieutenant General shocked the mountain god. All the Zongzi personnel arrived at the Hadong Pass in one morning, and then went down the mountain at any time to the base of the Ninth Punjab United on the Kejielang River.

When Lieutenant General Kaul and Major General Feshal negotiated in Jimmytang, the operation of transferring the 7th Brigade to the Kjelang River was carried out with the highest efficiency possible. The Ninth Punjab United, lined up in formation, facing the Chinese, and advanced along the river between the Kjelang and the No. 1 and the No. 2 Bridge; on the north bank of the river, there were Chinese people stationed in every place. The fire between weapons and mortars had already occurred, which was more of a test, and it was obvious that there would be no terrible large-scale confrontation in the near future. At the same time, the commander of the Darvi had led a reconnaissance team from 104, which included two battalion commanders - Lieutenant Colonel Maslik of the Second Lagaput United and Lieutenant Colonel Bus Aruwaria of the Ninth Gurkha United - and about 30 officers and soldiers. In order to march in secret and avoid being discovered by the Chinese army on the north bank of the Kjelang River, they took the southwest road to Kjelang.

This means that it is necessary to cross the difficult 15,000-foot Gapo Pass to Zhangduo, and then down the ridge to the river bank of the Tsingdong area. The west bank of the Niang River and to the Bhutan border and border are a complex terrain of rugged mountains and valleys. The lower slopes are covered with large areas of azalea bush, some of which are dense and vast like forests.

On high slopes, pine trees and yellow fir grow, which can provide good protection. At the southern slope of the mountain, about 15,000 feet high and about 13,000 feet high on the northern slope of the mountain, the woods do not grow because they do not have direct sunlight. Even in midsummer, in the shadows north of the ridge, the hillsides and valleys are covered with layers of ice and snow.

The area west of the Niangjiang River Valley is an area of ​​about 12,000 feet, with no inhabitants at all. Only in the summer, small groups of Menba shepherds accidentally entered the mountainous areas from the jurisdiction of Dawang to grazing. During the short summer, they lived a nomadic life, without paying attention to national or other obstacles, and recklessly did not distinguish the road into Tibet to find suitable pastures - just as the herders from the north did not hesitate to go to the south of the Tagra ridge. During the years of grazing around, they had built some small sheds in convenient places on the river bank or in clearings on cliffs. Names on the map, such as Sekim, Thundon or Jangle, represent such places; but they are not what they commonly call "villages".
