Brigade Commander Vier's heart kept sinking Major General Feschel's heart. The highest-level officer who was directly in contact with the subordinates did not want to take the opportunity to make achievements. Instead, he fought. This itself shows everything. The strength of the Chinese made him feel instinctively. Seeing the major general's face look ugly, Daville also realized that he had said the wrong thing. He compared it embarrassedly.

Major General Fessal is now at an edge post of the Assam Rifle, surrounded by a large oval stone wall, and some shallow-dig trenches. There is no concrete. No.: The harsh transportation environment here determines that only the Chinese outpost opposite the fortifications can be made with such a method similar to the playhouse. Under the same difficult conditions, the Chinese fortifications are basically invisible. Even if they are exposed, the dark gray of concrete is still the one.

The troops at the headquarters of the post were a low-level commander and about 30 soldiers who saw so many generals at one time. These people were a little panicked, but they quickly calmed down and their subsequent actions were normal. However, Major General Feschel always felt that the soldiers realized that the terrain was not good for them in tactical terms. They were in a position of being overlooked by Chinese local soldiers on the opposite hillside, so all their actions were very stiff, as if they were tolerating the gaze projected by China.

Under the clear sky, Major General Feschel could clearly see the Chinese and their every move. Major General Feschel even stared at the jealous eyes. The Chinese mule team unloaded the goods calmly and then returned to the mountainside above. There were motor sawing and cutting down trees to make beds. Their trenches were very good, and there was a regular shooting field in front of each trench.

The Chinese seemed friendly. They obviously recognized Major General Feschel's epaulette and shouted from time to time that Major General Feschel would send political officials to negotiate with them. Of course, Major General Feschel refused to pay any attention (the Indian political officials in Dawang, Zeng |; | did any negotiation).

"Lt. General Kaul, look at how healthy and pleasant the Chinese soldiers are. Because they are all wearing costumes to fight in snow conditions. Their mule transport team was able to reach the frontier outpost, their carport was only 7 miles from the rear, just north of the Tagra ridge. They didn't need to worry about the logistics supply that we were as worried as we were.

On the Tagra Mountains, their deep positions looked down and controlled the positions on our side, which lasted 15 miles from Zhangduo to Jianzemani, which run through the entire length of the valley, because the southern ridge is both lower and not steeper than the Tagra Mountains. It is not difficult to imagine that this is a serious unfavorable condition. Once the Chinese attacks in combat, they can quickly defeat us, and if we want to attack the Chinese, we need sufficient ammunition and superior troops. But neither of them is the case."

Major General Feschel told Lieutenant General Kaul, but in fact he was very dissatisfied with Lieutenant General Kaul's stupid actions. Lieutenant General Kaul drove the 7th Infantry Brigade into a limited camp, and the soldiers wore the thinnest summer clothes, provided the lowest rations, and carried no more than half an hour of combat ammunition. Lieutenant General Kaul's goal was to attack and repel the Chinese army stationed on a higher ridge than the Indian soldiers, and were well prepared!

"Major General Feschel, I would like to pay attention. Our friend China is no worse than ours. We are less than 300 places behind us. It is a crisscrossing railway network, and the Chinese need to walk 3,000 miles to see that there are much more Us, but why do the Chinese do so well?"

"Lieutenant General Kaul, I don't know, but now it seems that the Chinese are doing much better than ours, and more than a month ago, they did a very average job, but now they have pulled us too far. What we need to do first is to strengthen our defense, not make an offensive plan."

"Okay, Major General, I will do my own thing, and it's not your turn to point fingers." Lieutenant General Kaul ended the conversation very irritated, but it can be seen that the Major General's words still worked a little. Lieutenant General Kaul held many discussion meetings seriously, some of which were held under the nose of the Chinese. Chinese soldiers waved their guns and equipment proudly to show off to Major General Feishar. Once, just as this discussion was in progress, they even fired a burst of automatic artillery fire at Major General Feishar's camp.

Major General Feschel could see that Lieutenant General Caul tried his best to make a brave gesture. However, Major General Feschel knew that he had come to these distant high grounds in person—whether on the ground or from the air, he was the first senior general to do this—the harsh reality of the terrain

It hit hard.

However, he spoke arrogantly to the officers of the Tsun Post, announcing that the government specially selected him to control the situation and drive the Chinese out of India's territory. The rest of the day, Lieutenant General Kaul spent researching the ground situation, and walked up and down along the continuous valleys across the Tsun Post, looking for observation places.

These actions are very stupid behaviors in the eyes of the major general. In fact, there is no need to look at them. All the places with advantage are the positions of the Chinese. The positions on one side of India are like fresh Aries placed by the tiger's mouth. They will be swallowed up by the Chinese army at once. The best way is to reduce the garrison in this unfavorable terrain. Dalvey felt that he should briefly introduce the severity of the logistics of the brigade to Lieutenant General Kaul.

"Lieutenant General Kaul, the troops now have less than three days of rations, and half an hour of hard battles have to save rations. Once the snow season comes, they need to have one meal a day to maintain their minimum supply."

"Major General, you are right, this situation is intolerable, and I will report it to my superiors. The telegrapher, immediately drafted a telegram to the Military Region and the Army Headquarters, emphasized the situation of logistics supply shortages, and pointed out that airdrop supplies and ammunition have proved unsuccessful so far, especially the serious lack of transporters."

Afterwards, Lieutenant General Kaul ended with ambiguous statement of habit—

"Although the Chinese are far superior and can drive the 7th Brigade out of the position; but I, Lieutenant General Kaul, are taking every possible step to expel the Chinese!"

Fasher was very helpless about the statement of Lieutenant General, which truly reflected the attitude of his attitude towards the current situation. At the same time, he knew that Major General Fesher was in a very unfavorable situation strategically - after all, he was a very smart person - and couldn't help but want to "please" the supreme authorities.

What impression will the Army Headquarters or government cabinet get from these telegrams? Major General Feschel shuddered when he thought about it. However, Major General Feschel seemed to get some comfort from Lieutenant General Caul's telegram; he hopefully believed that Lieutenant General Caul's message to the Army Headquarters was the beginning of canceling the combat plan, which only shows that Major General Feschel did not understand the rules of service of the Indian government. They usually only read the last paragraph, and the previous content would only flow through their brains like flowing water.

By the time Lieutenant General Caul and Major General Feschel returned to the temporary hiding bunker, it was late at night and the sky was full of stars. Major General Feschel was already very tired, but he could not get the minimum sleep that was very needed. Lieutenant General Caul continued to talk about the various possibilities of the situation again and again.

Regardless of how Major General Feschel explains, how those so-called "plans" came into being, and regardless of how Major General Feschel advises, they should withdraw from the tactically unfavorable exposed positions on the river bank, Lieutenant General Caul continued to talk about the fact that the government was already fascinated by the "plan" and is now placing all its confidence in the "plan" to get rid of their dilemma of parliament and public opinion.

Finally, Lieutenant General Kaul repeatedly expressed his determination to send a battalion across the river to occupy a position on the Tagra ridge. Earlier that day, Major General Feschel saw a lonely little hut far above the hillside, somewhere below the peak line of the ridge at the Gapo Pass.

Major General Feschel speculated that Lieutenant General Kaul wanted to make a "stance" to appease the Delhi authorities, and sending troops to the other side of the river seemed to be an answer;

"Lt. General Kaul, I do not agree with you, but for what reasons, the Chinese have so far more or less accepted the Kjelang River as the de facto boundary, and I think the brigade commander Dalvi pointed out this. I am sure that if we send a large number of troops across the river now, the Chinese will definitely have a strong reaction."

Regardless of the fatigue, Major General Fessal talked about the late night. Although Major General Fessal needed a little sleep - unlike Lieutenant General Caul, he seemed to be a kind of person who could only need very little sleep. In the end, Major General Fessal finally gave in and sent only a small force, such as a limited patrol, to test the crossing of the Kjelang River and observe China's reaction. Speaking of this, Major General Fessal fell asleep. But Lieutenant General Caul continued to awaken Major General Fessal from time to time to discuss the various solutions and measures that his excited mind had come to mind. Major General Fessal was not asleep.
