Volume 10, Fighting for Hegemony Volume 89: The Indian General Who Has Nowhere to Serve the Country
.
Later, Major General Fessal and Lieutenant General Caul had a free meal at Assam Rifles and rolled up important strategic supplies - blankets. Lieutenant General Caul decided to return to the safer rear first. Major General Fessal originally decided to stay at the Tiaohun outpost until Lieutenant General Caul arrived at the safe area.
Only after Lieutenant General was safe did Major General Feschel prepare to return to the "tactical command" in Jimmy Tang. However, Lieutenant General Cauldron insisted that Major General Feschel travel with him and returned to Lombo because he had a lot to discuss with Major General Feschel on the way. After a few friendly rejections, Major General Feschel reluctantly accepted the suggestion. Before noon, the group was ready and set off for Bridge No. 1.
Before leaving, Lieutenant General Kaul, Dalvi and Major General Feshal held another short meeting to accurately make common estimates of the enemy's strength and possible intentions, but even a donkey can clearly see that their purpose is to unify the caliber, just like the criminals' collusion before they cannot escape punishment, in order to submit a mission to Delhi, so that the government will no longer have any doubts in the future. The three agreed:
"China has no less than one brigade on the hillside of Tagra. This brigade is part of a certain elite Chinese division, and the rest of this division may follow closely; if we take any action to cross the Kjelang River, China will definitely respond strongly. In addition, if they react, their future military operations will not be limited to the Kjelang River line; the 7th Brigade is in the most dangerous position in tactical and supply, and must be freed from the exposed river line without delay."
These views are actually worthless. Because the situation of the war changed dramatically after less than a day left. Before the telegram reached the Secretary of Defense's desk, it became outdated news.
After learning about this, among Lieutenant General Kaul's entourage, only Lagarwad and Major General Feshal came back. Since the last long journey, Kakasinger's body has not recovered. He asked for another day or two to make his physique stronger. Major General Feshal did not even think of Nair. He was lying somewhere between Sekim and Sadon, receiving painful treatment;
Poorly, the second staff member Nalindel was bedridden due to pulmonary edema and was waiting to retreat (after he recovered from his illness, he later participated in the work of the Fourth Army Department). The people who were traveling with him were Captain Harry Prakashi, the adjutant of Major General Feshal, and two young staff officers. In short, Lieutenant General Caul's luxurious staff team completely lost their combat effectiveness during this terrifying mountain journey, which made Major General Feshal secretly proud for a lot of time.
Just after 11 a.m., Major General Fessal left the Chudong Post and arrived at Bridge No. 1 at about 5 o'clock. Lieutenant General Caul was unwilling to stop at Bridge No. 1 for a while, because it was dark very early there. Therefore, Major General Fessal left to climb the mountain to Hadong Pass without waiting for supper.
"Major General Feschel, I feel good now. The strange people say that people on the plateau are healthy, and such air can help clear the garbage in their lungs. I feel that my lungs are much cleaner, as if they are newborns. The smoke has been replaced by these airs, and I will definitely come here often if I have the chance in the future."
Although Lieutenant General Caul told Major General Fasher that he felt in good health, Major General Fasher insisted that the porter take turns carrying him. This arrangement proved appropriate, because Major General Fasher had just climbed less than a few hundred feet, Lieutenant General Caul felt that it was getting more and more difficult to breathe.
When night fell, waves of autumn winds with the cold air of the Himalayas blew over. Lieutenant General Kaul began to tremble, his face began to turn blue and purple, and he was very struggling to breathe. Major General Feisher had to stop every 15 minutes or so, and let him suck oxygen from the oxygen cylinder for two minutes to slightly restore his energy. Major General Feisher began to climb the mountain again.
This situation continued until 8 o'clock in the evening. On the way to Major General Feschel about halfway to Hadong Pass, he arrived at a small thatched hut of the herders. Lieutenant General Kaul finally couldn't continue to endure the pain.
"I'm sorry, but I want to say that my chest is painful and I can't breathe." Lieutenant General Kaul plunged into the hidden area of the small thatched hut, and seemed to faint. Major General Feschel hurriedly tore off his military uniform so that he could breathe sufficient oxygen. This emergency treatment had some effect, and Lieutenant General slowly woke up.
"I have to take a break before I can move on. Don't worry about me."
However, these words cannot stop Major General Fessal from worrying. Major General Fessal immediately sent an adjutant Haripraka
The First Bridge Camp went to hire a military doctor. This move was insisted on doing this by Lieutenant General Caul, Major General Feshal, and later proved that this practice saved Kaul's life of winning the prize. However, Major General Feshal couldn't help but envy the Chinese. He heard that they sent thousands of doctors, with an average of one doctor for every ten people, and the proportion in India was at least 10 times that of the Chinese, because there were less than ten military doctors in the Fourth Division, and even senior officers like generals could not be equipped with a portable doctor.
At about 11 o'clock in the evening, Prakashi came with the doctor. Lieutenant General Kaul was still struggling, having difficulty breathing, and constantly inhaling oxygen. After the doctor carefully checked with a stethoscope, he firmly recommended to immediately carry him down to a lower high ground. It sounded bad, and Major General Feschel realized that carrying him back to the No. 1 Bridge meant that he had not received medical care from experts for quite some time.
"Kaoer, listen, you are in a bad state now. We will carry you through Hadong Pass overnight and send you to Seshim. There is a helicopter waiting for you to fly out of Sekim. This is the easiest way and can effectively relieve your altitude sickness."
Lieutenant General Kaul asked for a little longer to rest before leaving. The doctor gave him a sedative. He woke up and slept for about three or four hours. Major General Feischel put blankets in the hut, and everyone crowded together to take care of him. It was about three o'clock in the middle of the night, and before dawn, Major General Feischel carried him up and started climbing the mountain again.
Major General Feschel recalled that it was like a nightmare trip. On the dark night, Major General Feschel stopped to give Lieutenant General Cauldron every few hundred yards. Lieutenant General Cauldron was obviously in extreme pain, but did not complain. Fortunately, when Major General Feschel passed the pass and began to go down the mountain, Lieutenant General Cauldron felt much better. In fact, after a while, he insisted on walking by himself; so Major General Feschel put him down and tried his best to help him down the mountain.
At 11 o'clock in the morning of the 11th, Major General Feschel staggered: __The helicopter was waiting for him, and General Caul was about to take off immediately to capture Tees. Major General Feschel thought that if he did not evacuate, he would collapse again in another hour or two. After he left, Major General Feschel went down the mountain from Sekim and took a shortcut to Jimmy Pond.
Major General Fessal spent the rest of the day in Jimmy Tang. Major General Fessal estimated that another crisis location on the front line was mainly the situation in Bangshan Pass. As mentioned earlier, Major General Fessal was very worried about Dawang's safety. Major General Fessal wanted to understand how Brigade Commander Kasinger used his special brigade to deal with the situation. In the end, Major General Fessal decided to go to Bangshan Pass to inspect himself.
On the 12th, Major General Feshar took a helicopter to the Bangshan Pass. The outpost was located at the mountain pass, stationed by the Assam Rifle Team. But Kasinger sent a company from the First Sikh United to support them; they were stationed about a mile within the mountain pass.
Major General Fischer climbed up a suitable observation point, and from there he clearly saw that Chinese outposts were scattered across the vast plains extending northward on the Tibetan Plateau. The plain was covered with a layer of snow about three to four inches thick, but it was obvious that the Chinese could drive through the flat ground without any obstacles to the Bangshan Pass. Major General Fischer could see the vehicles moving towards Le Village from afar.
The outpost commander told Major General Feschel that a few days ago, the vehicles were frequently moving and the Chinese troops were obviously gathering. Because there was a considerable distance, about a mile, separated the positions of both sides, and no incident occurred on this front line. However, this does not mean that nothing will happen here in the future.
The pass itself is wide, and the road through the pass is quite flat. Vehicles can easily pass through this pass and can drive to Dawang effortlessly. If the Chinese attacked this front with strong forces, they might have broken through this line within a few hours. The Sikh United brought several medium-sized machine guns, but the ammunition was limited - and it was only about half an hour long to fight. All this was very worrying, and the major general began to think about it again, if there was enough ammunition.
However, the subsequent thing broke Major General Feschel's delusion, and a dull sound came from the Chinese position in the distance. Then a long gun barrel appeared accidentally in the Major General's field of vision, and then quickly disappeared into a hidden outpost. However, with years of military career, the Major General was still at a glance, and the Major General only felt a burst of chills!
