.

On the way back to the station, the major general began to see everything that appeared in his mind after a while of planning. After a period of time, the major general told his thoughts to his immediate boss, Lieutenant General Mlao Singh, to win the support of the lieutenant general.

"Mr. Commander, I have something to tell you that the daily report from the Intelligence Agency has no practical value. It generally only reports the activities of some Chinese local soldiers everywhere that are visible to the naked eye. The intelligence personnel of our division headquarters listen to China's radio almost every day. After research, I think the "Ankar Action Plan" must be greatly modified. This is a plan formulated on paper by people who lack first-hand materials for terrain, climate and all other military issues. If this plan is really implemented, we will be hit by the Chinese."

"I fully agree with you, and I have also made such suggestions to the military headquarters, but I regret to hear such an answer. This question is beyond the jurisdiction of the Army Command and must be decided by the Indian government. Of course, you know, our government is like a big garbage dump and any good suggestions will be dyed black wherever they go, and eventually become useless waste."

Chongzhu replied helplessly, but it still gave the major general a glimmer of hope.

"Lieutenant General Brigimohan Kaul, as the chief of staff, is about to inspect Tespur, and you can state your difficulties and opinions to him. But I hope the Chinese can give you enough time."

At this time, Tie Can, the deputy commander of Hump Route, was furious: "Why have you wastes been doing this for so long? Still not meeting the minimum requirement of 2,000 tons per day? Are your pilots the best? Why did they fall down in the face of such difficulties?"

"Sorry, there are mountains with nearly 8,000 meters of planes in our area. What we really didn't say is a young pilot who had nearly a thousand hours of training, but he was still embarrassed.

Tie Can sighed. So far, more than 70 plane crashes have occurred, which is a very severe test for everyone. These warriors can face death without fear, but if they face death every day, who has such courage?

Just when the iron was at a loss, the airport has finally developed a large high-altitude transport aircraft.

This aircraft easily solves the defects of current large transport aircraft and its performance characteristics:

1. Can fly at high altitude and at high speed long-range flight.

2. It has hollow, medium-speed flight and close-range transportation capabilities, can forcibly land on the front line and can take off and land on the field runway.

3. Various modifications are made. The wounded can be evacuated from the battlefield when returning. After the modification, it can also be used for high-altitude surveying and mapping, meteorological detection, search and rescue, forest fire extinguishing, aerial refueling, and the launch and guidance of unmanned aircraft.

Main modifications:

In order to adapt to different uses, there are many types of Hercules in China.

Hercules a. The first test flight was launched on April 7, and it was delivered and used in December 1916. It was suspended in 2019, and a total of 231 aircraft were produced.

Hercules b. Development type. The first test flight was launched on November 20, 1916, and was delivered and used on June 12, 1917, and a total of 230 were produced. Among them, the modified one was Hercules g46 and changed to Hercules f, and 7 was changed to Hercules f.

The improved type of Hercules d, a type. It is mainly used in the North and South Poles. It was jointly manufactured

The development type of Hercules e and b type. The basic structure is the same as B type 510. This type was used by the Chinese Tactical Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and more than 10 countries including Iran, Colombia, Turkey, Brazil, Sweden and Argentina. The test flight was conducted in 19188, and the delivery began in 19194, and production was suspended in 201925.

Hercules h, the power-enhancing type. The basic structure is the same as Hercules e. It was delivered and used in April 1917. As of 1231, 1928, the Chinese Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard ordered a total of 50 countries and regions abroad, with a total of 478 aircraft.

Hercules h-mp,|When the radius is 370 miles, it can last for 16 hours and 50 minutes. When the height is 1525 meters, the search time is 2:30 minutes.

The Hercules j-30 aircraft is the first Hercules j cargo enhancement operating system equipped with a precisely controlled extension, which can achieve precise delivery. Compared with its standard model, the J-30 model can transport combat troops and 92 paratroopers, and 97 medical personnel, which have greatly improved.

Hercules aa,.=62mm machine gun 430mm "Vulcan" 6 guns, and is equipped with night vision equipment. It was used in the Vietnam War in 1968 in 1969. It also has two modifications: Hercules ae and Hercules ah.

eHercules, tactical airborne command and communication type. The first generation of electronic surveillance aircraft of the Chinese Air Force, a large knife-shaped antenna is added above the dorsal fin and below each outer wing, and small knife-shaped antennas on both sides of the fuselage. The outer side of the knife-shaped antenna under the wing and the projectile-shaped compartment of the tail wing are equipped with tow antennas, which can be as long as several hundred meters long.

Hercules eg, the new number of the eHercules used by the Chinese Navy. There is a very low-frequency radio on it that can convey emergency commands to missile submarines sailing anywhere in the world. It also has an eHercules o|= Marine Corps air refueling aircraft.

Hercules me, a Chinese Air Force battlefield transport aircraft. This type can secretly transport special forces to the rear of the enemy. The aircraft is equipped with night vision equipment, terrain tracking radar, air oil receptive equipment and various electronic interference equipment, and personnel recovery devices are also installed on the aircraft. A total of 3,114 aircraft are produced. The Hump route can successfully implement cargo delivery, and this aircraft contributes to the indelible contribution.

M Hercules h. Hercules h ground modification. Special tactical tasks, including day/night infiltration and evacuation, special ground operations [.= as well as airborne and ground-air rescue, etc.

Hercules r, Hercules ra, Hercules w, and Hercules ph are reconnaissance detection, meteorological control, and patrol types respectively.

During the preparations before the outbreak of the Sino-Indian War, the Chinese Air Force's Hercules transport aircraft carried out 21,700 air transport and other combat support missions, with a probability of completing flight missions reaching 97%. It can be said that without the Hercules Stone transport aircraft, there would be no smooth progress of the Hump route, and the subsequent victory would also disappear.

The Xi'an manufacturing plant designed this aircraft also successfully relied on the short and thick fuselage, the nose is blunt conical and extending forward, with a lower front end position, lower than the midline of the fuselage... The cantilever upper single wing has a straight front edge, without sweeping angle, and the outer section of the rear edge sweeping forward. The fixed horizontal flat tail, the vertical tail is tall, and the top is arc-shaped. It has become the largest aircraft manufacturer in the west and one of the four major airports in China.

But then again, in September 1917, there were still very few Hercules. Only in October did Hercules equip the army in large quantities. After November, Hercules' number reached an astonishing 2,100. It was successfully called the air bridge of the Chinese Air Force. However, in September, the Chinese army did not continue to attack, but instead handed over the position that had already succeeded to India to confirm the friendship between China and India. The main reason was to stand firmly behind the defense line and wait for the arrival of supplies, which gave the Indians a chance to breathe, and was more confused about peace.

One day in September 1917, General Kaor came to Teespur, and Niranjan Prasha finally met the legendary general. The major general urgently discussed the mission of the Fourth Infantry Division and the "Ankal Action Plan".

"In view of traffic conditions, only infantry with light weapons can fight in such terrain. The regular army's troops can only be used after completely reorganized equipment. This reorganization requires special weapons and a large number of mobile helicopters, which will take many years to complete. In addition, my division was divided into several small units, scattered across a large area, which is very unfavorable for the training and combat preparation of the troops. I suggest that the Assam Rifle team is most appropriate for the mission of the "Ankal Action Plan".

"Major General, you are right. We are already considering sending light-equipped troops to the Northeast Border Special Zone. I will also do my best to get the Fourth Infantry Division back to Punjab to take on the mission of conventional warfare."

Although General Kaul did not directly object or even seemed to agree very much, Niranjan Prasha could hear from his conversation that it was a political decision to ask the army to assume the responsibility of defending the Northeast Border Special Zone, which is usually not discussed, and the major general had to put forward his own opinions on the details.

However, General Kaul was obviously not the kind of broad-minded person. When the major general talked about the numerous problems in establishing outposts on the "Ankal Action Plan", General Kaul told the major general in a angrily manner that he would answer my questions about the "Ankal Action Plan" in front of all the commanders and staff of the Fourth Division and clarify any doubts.

A day later, at a meeting attended by all the 4th Division and several commanders, Major General Niranjan Prasha proposed another view on the "Ankar Action Plan". He pointed out that these outposts had no tactical value and from the perspective of rear service, these outposts could not be defended in combat and were even difficult to maintain in peacetime.

To avoid angering General Kaor, Major General Niranjan Prasha proposed his own proposal: to establish stronger posts farther away from the border, as patrol bases, and patrol to the right border line. However, at the meeting, General Kaor's speech and behavior were abnormal. His reply to Major General Niranjan Prasha was rough and undisputedly decided: "The Governor personally ordered the establishment of these posts, and his decision was based on the opinions of the Supreme Intelligence Advisor". In his reply, there was also a warning that any failure or delay in completing this task would have serious consequences for those responsible - in other words, the Fourth Infantry Division -.

After considering all the information in his hands, Major General Niranjan Prasha made a serious estimate of the situation and discussed Major General Niranjan Prasha's plan with Major General Niranjan Prasha's army commander. On September 16, 1917, Major General Niranjan Prasha sent his estimate of the situation to the brigade commander of the Fourth Division.

Major General Niranjan Prasha's brigade commander John Dalvi, commanding the 7th Infantry Brigade: Brigade Commander Shivcharan Singh, commanding the Fifth Infantry Brigade. Brigade Commander Nassie Rourley, the winner of the Great Hero Wheel Medal, commanding the 11th Infantry Brigade (the brigade has been transferred to Manipur). Brigade Commander Karin Chege, commanding the Fourth Artillery Brigade. The lineup is considerable, and Major General Niranjan Prasha cannot expect better.

Major General Niranjan Prasha felt that in terms of the land manpower and material resources, all Major General Niranjan Prasha could do was to re-deploy combat forces in fortified areas and stable bases. Dawang was given the highest priority and was specially nominated as a "critical area", and sent the 7th Infantry Brigade and an artillery regiment to defend Dawang. Among the other sensitive areas mentioned, there was Kenzemani. As a rear support, a stable base in the valley was chosen in the Kusangchat area - in addition to Kenzemani. (If something happened, choose Ampo. This is a condescending plateau, overlooking Ksangchat. And there is a pretty good airdrop area.)

According to the "Ankal Action Plan", the newly established ground outpost will sooner or later fall into trouble.

These cumbersome and stable bases can help them get out of trouble nearby. Major General Prasha had hoped to complete the redeployment of the troops a month after the rainy season, so that it would almost be until 1917.

In all the discussions between Major General Niranjan Prasha and their superiors, they always gave Major General Niranjan Prasha an impression: although China responded strongly to Major General Niranjan Prasha’s actions in Ladakh, China would not continue to attack in the eastern section. In fact, it seems that this is the theme song sung by senior officers.

However, Major General Niranjan Prasha had to use his own judgment. Major General Niranjan Prasha warned the 4th Division's troops commander that India's relations with China have entered a different stage: even if the possibility of a full-scale war can be avoided by chance, local wars cannot be avoided.

Out of trust in the Major General, the commander approved Major General Niranjan Prasha's redeployment plan. Major General Niranjan Prasha seized the time to issue detailed orders on 920 to redeploy the Seventh Brigade. Establish a solid base, like the base planned to be established in Lombo, to enable them to support sensitive areas and improve the defense of cover Dawang and Walanong, which should be given priority. The brigade commanders issued necessary orders in turn to conduct reconnaissance of these areas. The mobilization of each unit must be formulated and must be carried out in stages and cannot exceed the logistics support force. During the rainy season, due to poor flight conditions and heavy rain, logistical support has been reduced to a minimum.

Major General Niranjan Prasha knew that the squad used by the "Ankal Action Plan" had put the 4th Division under great pressure on the manpower and material resources. Redeployment would also cause great difficulties for all units of the troops. However, Major General Niranjan Prasha firmly believed that any delay in establishing a stable base would bring disaster.

There is very little intelligence information in the local area that can help a commander correctly estimate China's military strength and intentions. However, judging from the Chinese local broadcast, it is clear that their remarks have been uncontrollable and attack India every day, often referring to the leadership of Major General Niranjan Prasha, who is the "British lackey".

That morning.8226. Major General Prasha learned another bad news. Somewhere in the U area, there was an illegal radio station operating. Nothing worse than this. There was no Indian intelligence station on China. All intelligence was. The Chinese set up the intelligence station at their doorstep. Considering the comparison of troops on the border, the major general's heart was cold and immediately ordered his subordinates to start searching for Chinese intelligence stations. At the same time, when reporting the situation to the superior authorities, the superiors ignored it as before. They rashly told Major General Niranjan Prasha that there were no illegal radio transmitters on the border of Major General Niranjan Prasha.

Later implementation confirmed that the Chinese did secretly transport a radio transmitter into the chako in the Tibet labor camp, which was located on the road to Bondira. The antenna of their transmitter was disguised as a high prayer flagpole and it was common to set up such prayer flagpole in the popular Himalayan Buddhist areas. In the absence of battle, the Indian government worked very hard to increase the already huge gap between China and India.

On 919, Major General Niranjan Prasha sent a small team from Dawang. Crossed the Niang River and headed west to the junction of India-Tibet-Bhutan to establish an outpost. This danger is no less than disturbing a sleeping tiger. Major General Niranjan Prasha was reluctant to do so. However, under the pressure of the government, it still had to go. However, it was surprising that the team arrived safely and sent the report as follows:

"The Chinese already know that Major General Niranjan Prasha established outposts at the tripartite junction. From intelligence sources, they do not recognize that the tripartite junction is India's territory. Moreover, they will occupy the area once they receive instructions from the government. And they will start directly (attack) without warning."

Major General Niranjan Prasha was in a complicated mood after receiving this information. It was like playing a dangerous game. He immediately reported the information to the superior authorities and asked for clarification of the issue of the belonging of the Tagra ridge. The issue of the belonging of the Tagra ridge also came from the McMahon Line, which extends from the tripartite junction of Myanmar-Tibet-India to the west to the tripartite junction of India-Tibet-Bhutan. The border outline drawn between India and Tibet.

In this way, from the three junction of Myanmar-Tibet-India to the west to the north of Kenzemani, the McMahon Line generally follows the Himalayan dividing line. However, the McMahon Line tilts down from the Bengbebosi Ridge to Kenzemani. From there, the direction is not along the main dividing line of the Tagra ridge, but is drawn into a straight line to the three junction of India-Tibet-Bhutan.

According to the map, the details of the area at that time have no similarity to the actual situation on the ground. Unexpectedly, because when McMahon drew the lines, the area had never been detected. However, it is surprising that since then, for so many years, the British authorities have not corrected this error. It is difficult to understand, and even such basic details, such as accurate maps, have not been formulated, how can any meaningful negotiations with China be conducted? Further, if there is an accurate map, but it is definitely not provided for use by the troops, and the troops are given the responsibility to ensure border security, it is also incomprehensible.

The squad sent to the junction of the three parties mentioned above was commanded by Captain Prashad, the First Sikh United. He was a powerful young officer (he died bravely in the battle on October 20 and was awarded the Great Hero Wheel Medal after his death). Because the junction of the three parties was covered by a layer of thick snow, Captain Prashad set up an outpost in a place called Sadong under the Dora on the south bank of the Kjelang River.

(In fact, for some reason, the outpost was later named Dora Post.) The political representatives of the team told Captain Prashad that the Tagra ridge was India's territory. However, because Captain Prashad's land map indicated that the McMahon line was south of Tagra, he did not act according to the intelligence of the political representative. Instead, the captain returned to the base and talked to the division headquarters about the issue. September 20. ·Prashad's minor

Report this situation to the military headquarters, the military region headquarters and the army headquarters.

Then, Major General Niranjan Prasha urgently summoned Captain Prashad and interrogated him in detail. Then, Major General Niranjan Prasha was convinced that the Tagra ridge was indeed the main dividing line, so Major General Niranjan Prasha prepared a comprehensive analysis report and demanded approval for the occupation of the Tagra ridge. However, the report was still in the sea. No one knew where he had gone and received any attention.

During this period, Brigadier General Palit, the commander of the Operations of the Army Headquarters and the winner of the Hero Wheel Medal, visited Teespur. In his speech to the brigade commanders and the staff of the division in the fourth hour, he reiterated the Intelligence Agency's estimate that China had no or could not resort to military hostilities. He said that the proposal reported by the Fourth Division on Tagra was not sent to the Army Headquarters when he left Delhi. He promised that when he returned to Delhi, he would urge Major General Niranjan Prasha to get a reply as soon as possible. Brigadier Palit's remarks were more intended to convince the Major General that the Chinese would abide by peace, just like those angels.

These words are more like pleasing to the Chinese.

Major General Niranjan Prasha was forced to reach a conclusion. No one in the military department was new to him. As a result, Major General Niranjan Prasha lost the opportunity to use preemptive measures to stop the Chinese people on the Tagra Ridge (note, the Major General's idea exposed his ambitions and attempted to invade our sacred territory).

Major General Niranjan Prasha once chose Lombo as a base for a battalion to support the Kanzemani and the Tsun Outpost. Lombo is located above the Niangjiang River Valley and is an altitude plateau on its west bank. However, Major General Niranjan Prasha can only provide supplies and prepare for the speed of porters.

In Lombo, Major General Niranjan Prasha had tried to choose the airdrop zone, but the Air Force had not tried it. Lieutenant Colonel Misla was the commander of the Ninth Punjab United (his battalion was designated in Lombo). He was an energetic and competent officer who had already conducted reconnaissance on the frontiers of the Lombo, until the boundary line required by Major General Niranjan Prasha on the map, including the requirements line to the Turban Post.

Regarding Major General Niranjan Prasha's request for the Tagra ridge, Major General Niranjan Prasha submitted emergency inquiries for several days and repeatedly requested a reply. Until September, Major General Niranjan Prasha had not received a reply.

So the tired Major General had to stop for a while, and on Saturday morning, at the owners' club of the Thakurbarri Plantations, about 12 miles from Teespur, Major General Nilanjan Prasha played a golf game with John Dalvey, the commander of the 7th Infantry Brigade. Dalvey came down from Dalwan before he was about to return home on his two-month vacation every year.

Major General Niranjan Prasha looked at Brigade Commander Dalvi carefully. He thought carefully about how to speak and finally decided whether to decide whether to be the boss's tone. The following instructions were given:

"Brigit Commander Dalvi!"

"Yes!" Brigade Commander Dalvi immediately stood up straight like a conditioned reflex, ready to listen to his boss's words

"You must remember the following points: the 1st and 9th Punjab United are driving from Dawang to Lombok, so you must strengthen the winter outpost as soon as possible.

Second, as the brigade commander, you will be back to your post in Dawang on the morning of October 2.

On October 3rd, I will land in Lombok after reconnaissance in Tagra in the air, and meet you in Dawang on the same day.”
