And, in response to his call for help, Major General Daville did not make any move to supervise. In fact, Major General Fasher knew that it was inconvenient for Darvi to respond to the call for machine gun support.

Dalvi's station was on the uphill of the valley, on the Fourth Bridge, although he could see some combat situations at that time, this did not mean that fire support could also reach there at the same time. Major General Feschel dreamed of destroying the force that he could see was only one country in the world. Unfortunately, the one with this terrifying combat power was China and India's current enemy.

Lieutenant Colonel Misla had conveyed the Monkong Post's request for support for fire, and combined with his own urgent request. Even the armed forces deployed in the area around Bridge No. 4 begged Dalvey to approve them to open fire; however, Dalvey felt that such orders could not be issued in terms of his responsibility.

"Well, let them stay sane, never fire first, don't anger the Chinese!"

Major General Feschel could understand Daville's orders, and with weapons along the river, there was absolutely no possibility of supporting Monk Chong. If fire from Major General Feschel's base, it would only be an emotional posture, not a tactical advantage. This meaningless action would only waste a few ammunition, and in the subsequent battles, we would also expect these ammunition to protect our positions.

The Monk Chong Post is far to the left, high above Major General Feschel, with a straight line distance of several yards and no clear target. The most important thing is the location of the weapon installation, not aiming at the mountain. Neither the machine gunner nor the mortar had taken any positioning or other preparatory measures; and they had only limited ammunition supply.

In any case, shooting without target on the opposite slope is meaningless and cannot achieve any tactical purpose. On the contrary, it is likely to prompt China to decide to fire at Major General Feschel's exposed positions along the river, and Darvi's decision not to fire from the river bank's positions is sufficiently justified.

So after a not-so-hard gunfire, the voice of Monk Chong's resistance at the outpost weakened, and finally finally quietly. The Major General saw with heartache that the flag representing India was taken down. The red Chinese flag was erected. Major General Feschel stopped the gunners who wanted to shoot down the Chinese flag.

"Do you bastards, do you want to completely anger the Chinese? If the Chinese flag is now knocked down, then in less than a minute, our position will be covered by a burst of artillery fire, and then a large number of infantry follow up after the artillery fire, completely submerging us with numerical advantage. As perpetrators, you will be sent by the Chinese to the gallows. Just like the American soldiers who threw incendiary bombs at Beijing."

No matter what purpose it was, the Indians finally chose to wait and see, hoping that the soldiers from the Monk Chong Post to resist the siege of the Chinese army. The battles after that were like this. The Indians hoped to defend, but each part was scattered, so they were divided and surrounded until they were defeated in the end.

It was not until very late that day. After Lieutenant General Kaul and Major General Feschel left Shudong in a hurry, the survivors of Seng Chong began to slowly walk back; only then could a more complete scene of the operation be portrayed.

Major Choudhury found signs of a large number of troops heading towards his post on the night of October 9-10, and sent a squad to the distant hillside into a hidden position from which to fire a longitudinal fire at his post. The Chinese obviously did not notice this trick, so when they attacked Monk Chong at dawn on the 10th, they were subjected to cross-fire by light machine guns: serious casualties. (According to Choudhury, they had a hundred deaths, but Major General Feschel had doubts about this number. Choudhury might have exaggerated the number to some extent to alleviate his guilt, and the Major General believed that Choudhury did not organize effective resistance.)

Regardless of the exact number, the battle must have been unexpected; but the Chinese quickly reorganized their troops and attacked the two positions of the Punjab United from different directions. Because the defenders of the two positions of the Punjab United were exhausted, the battle could only end.

After that, since the Indian army completely lost its resistance, the Chinese could do whatever they wanted. However, they should be fairly evaluated. In fact, they did not use bayonets to attack the powerless troops of the Indian army, and did not kill them indiscriminately.

According to the survivors, they allowed the defeated garrison to retreat gloriously and bring back their weapons and dead. Six soldiers from the Punjab United died and 11 injured, and Major Choudhury himself was also one of the wounded. He even continued to encourage his troops and command them to fight until their bullets were exhausted.

There is no doubt that the Chinese are serious and serious.

She looked at her at a loss, obviously unable to believe that a small war had been ignited. As for whether this war would trigger a bigger war, it was unpredictable. Things were obviously sliding in a bad direction.

It can be seen with the naked eye that more and more Chinese troops were mobilizing down the slope of Tagra; in the end, Lieutenant General Kaul could only accept the fact that if he attempted to cross the de facto boundary, the Kjelang River, at least on this front, the enemy would react strongly.

Shortly after the shooting stopped, Dalvey left his command post at Bridge 4 to meet Major General Feschel.

"Major General Feschel, the question now is whether the plan to send the Second Lagaput United across the river and climb the Tagra ridge should be stopped."

Major General Feschel asked Lieutenant General Caul that this question was not something he could make. Seeing Feschel's slightly worried eyes, Lieutenant General Caul began to ponder, and finally he finally agreed with difficulty, because this was equivalent to denying his previous decision, but in the end, he would still withdraw the action with a little conscience, and said:

"This matter is handled by Dalvey, and Major General Feschel will discuss the issue with you."

This matter saved Lieutenant General Kaul after the war. After the war, someone deliberately damaged Lieutenant General Kaul's reputation and suggested that when the battle began and when the situation was tense, he immediately handed over the combat mission to Dalvey and shirked his responsibility.

This statement was refuted by Feshal: "It is unfair: on many issues, many of the blame can be put on Biji, but it cannot be said that he ran backwards at the critical moment. The fact is that for an hour or so, he was really stunned and confused. The theory proposed by Delhi about China's peace intentions was not only accepted, but also enthusiastically supported; all these precious theories were suddenly thrown out of the sky before his eyes."

In fact, from a certain perspective, Major General Feschel's evaluation is the most vicious, and this evaluation completely nailed Lieutenant General Kaul to the historical list of evil. However, on 1010 in 1917, Lieutenant General Kaul was still very calm.

"We must rethink this. The Chinese have already established military forces on the slopes of Tagra. They are still there, no longer covering up their actions, they run down the mountain from the mountains. If we can't stop them from moving forward, then we are truly finished."

"Lieutenant General Kaul, now you need to rush back to Delhi to meet the people in power and report to them the real situation of the huge gap in power between the two sides on the Kejielang River. And it should be noted that so far, the Chinese will not cross the river to attack: as the Seng Chong post retreated to the river bank, the close cause of the encounter was a thing of the past. Although the Chinese rushed over continuously, considering the previous battles, it is very likely that the Chinese will not continue to provoke wars, and the Chinese are still peaceful."

If Lieutenant General Fasher accepted the advice of Major General Fasher, there would be no need for Lieutenant General Cauldron to stay there, which was exactly what Lieutenant General was looking forward to. He hesitated for a moment and then accepted Major General Fasher's advice.

"Well, my staff and I go back immediately. Telegrapher!"

"yes"

"Send a long telegram back to the Eastern Military Region describing what happened and request approval to fly back to Delhi immediately to report to the Army Headquarters and the Indian government "a new sudden serious situation."

"yes"

"Lt. General Kaul, I think it is necessary to withdraw the troops from the exposed riverbank positions to the Khadon Ridge. The possibility of the Chinese attacking us in full within the next few days cannot be ruled out. And now we have seen their forces and deduced their intentions. The positions along the Kjelang River are exposed and vulnerable; the only hope that we can prevent attack by defending is to occupy a higher position with a tactical advantage.

Major General Feschel said earnestly to Biji that he tried to solve these things before Lieutenant General Kaul left. He had done all these well, but Lieutenant General made these messes. Now he can only hope that the Chinese will not make extreme reactions and the Lieutenant General's sudden remorse.

"I have no right to issue such a retreat order. I will go back to Delhi to try to convince the Army Headquarters to order it before it can retreat to the high ground behind. So, at the moment, what I want is for Major General Feshal himself to make a written decision. I know how strongly you are about this, so I will give you a written order to hold your position."
