    When Brigadier General Dalvi, commander of the 7th Indian Brigade outside the valley, learned through his telescope that all the more than 800 Indian officers and soldiers who entered the valley were destroyed.  He was completely desperate!  He gave the order to the old, weak and remnant soldiers around him to escape for their lives and break out of the encirclement.  Except for some of these people who stayed in place waiting to surrender to the squadron, the rest went into the cold and uninhabited mountains of Bhutan. These Indian officers and soldiers who did not even have winter clothes, except for a few soldiers passing by  After all the hard work, most of them managed to reach the outside of Bhutan, but most of them froze to death and starved to death in the vast mountains.  These individual Indian soldiers who fled to Bhutan were also sent to Tawang by the Bhutanese government after the war and handed over to the Chinese People's Liberation Army.  ¡¾¡¿ And the brigade commander, Brigadier General Dalvi, led more than 100 defeated soldiers and wandered in the deep mountains and forests for a long time and a night.  In the early morning of April 19, Dalvi, who could not bear the hunger and cold, led more than 100 of his subordinate officers and soldiers out of the mountain and came to the Dora Pass.  The 3rd Battalion of the 154th Regiment surrendered.  After our army¡¯s eastern counterattack troops completely annihilated the 7th Indian Brigade, their offensive continued unabated and continued to develop deeper into southern Tibet and attack Tawang!  The Fourth Division secretly crossed the Tawang River and fled to the south without firing a single shot. Our army successfully recaptured Tawang, an important town in southern Tibet that had been occupied by India in 1950.  However, our Eastern Front troops have not stopped their advance, they will march towards Tezpur, India!  They will join forces with the 1st Airborne Division of the Chinese People's Liberation Army airborne into the Sili Valley Corridor in India!  Complete the division of India and India's Northeast Border Special Zone.  "" In the early morning of the 19th, at Damxung Airport, 90 kilometers east of Lhasa, 15 "Sky Train" large transport aircraft were waiting on the auxiliary runway of the airport, and were about to go to Sili, the connecting channel between the hinterland of India and the Northeastern Border Special Zone of India.  Guli Corridor, dropping "Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals" over this land passage.  The Siliguri Corridor is a narrow Indian territory of only 20 kilometers wide sandwiched between Sikkim and East Pakistan. It is a transportation hub connecting the two territories of southern India. If this slender corridor is cut off, 40 kilometers of northern India will be lost.  Tens of thousands of square kilometers of land are completely separated from mainland India.  At 10:30, 1,300 paratroopers from the Tiger Regiment of the First Airborne Division of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, led by deputy division commander Geng Zhi, bravely and proudly boarded 15 large "Sky Train" transport aircraft parked on the airport service road.  Ready to go into battle.  Geng Zhi, the former deputy company commander of the base guard company, is one of the fastest-rising people among the grassroots cadres of the base. This is entirely due to the fact that he served as an airborne soldier for three years after graduating from the later military academy.  In 1950, the J Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sent a telegram to all military regions and field armies, requesting that a group of combat heroes, or model squads and platoon cadres be drawn from each army unit to form an air force marine force.  Soon it was stipulated that the deficient number could be supplemented by election from among the first and second class meritorious officials.  Soon, 4,763 experienced commanders and fighters from various armies across the country gathered in the ancient city of Kaifeng. There were people, but there were very few people who really understood what the airborne troops were like.  For this reason, Liu Yalou approached Deng Feng and asked to hire some sensible people. Deng Feng recommended Geng Zhi, who had been a teacher at the special forces school, to Liu Yalou. Liu Yalou then transferred Geng Zhi, who had just been transferred to the special forces school, to the 1st Airborne Division.  In this way, he became the deputy commander of the 1st Airborne Division, a strategic reserve force directly under the J Committee of the Central Committee, known as the "Thousand Years Army" in the military.  However, his role as division commander was not in vain. He had indeed put a lot of effort into cultivating this unit into a powerful air force that could lead operations and open up battlefields behind enemy lines, and could attack the heart of the enemy with both intimidation and actual combat.  , from compiling teaching materials, giving lectures in person, guiding training, to preparing the weapons and equipment of the troops, and the manufacturing of umbrellas, there is no one he does not care about.  There is no way to do more to those who can. Who has allowed you to understand 60 years of experience and lessons better than others?  After more than five years of study and training, the Chinese airborne troops are fundamentally different from the paratroopers of other countries during this period. The paratroopers of various countries generally adopt the "infantry plus parachute" model, while China's 1st Airborne Division is a force with reconnaissance, special operations  , artillery, missiles and other arms are modern special forces with later characteristics.  A strategic mobile force that can truly do it, fly at any time, drop anywhere, fight when it drops, and win in battle.  Deng Feng does not agree with the use of this strategic mobile force this time. He thinks it is not necessary.  He believes that the current use of airborne troops is only an important means to reflect the country's will. Through the use of airborne troops, a country's determination and will can be seen, and the symbolic significance is greater than the actual significance.  Finally, Geng Zhi made a special trip to Japan to find Deng Feng for work and said: "Can airborne troops work in modern warfare? Is it useful? These have to be tested through actual combat. Even China in later generations has not proven this through actual combat.  "Deng Feng felt that what Geng Zhi said made sense, so in order to enrich the theory and practice of the Chinese People's Liberation Army's airborne troops in building an army, he reluctantly agreed.  At 8:40, in the expectant eyes of our comradesWang Wei, deputy commander of the 1st Division of the Air Force of the ** Corps, piloted a J10 fighter jet and led the 20 "Falcon" J1 fighter jets that escorted this operation to take off first, followed by 8 more to open the way for this airborne operation.  The "Destroyer" bombers at the landing site also took off, and the last 15 large "Sky Train" transport aircraft took off one after another.  As soon as the "Sky Train" left the ground, the loud singing of the airborne troops rang out in the cabin: "The war song was like thunder, the motors roared, the heroic airborne troops flew towards the enemy's rear, their steel knives shone coldly, and they were filled with anger and hatred, bravely serving the motherland and the people.  Kill the enemy and fight, penetrate into the enemy's heart, chop off the devil's head, destroy the invaders, leaving no one behind" At 9 o'clock, the paratrooper commanders of each aircraft stretched out their right index fingers to make a hook shape almost simultaneously, and the people in the cabin  The commanders and fighters of the Tiger Regiment neatly hung the paracord hook on the sliding steel cable.  The "Sky Train" flew over the Himalayas with some bumps.  But KL1101 captain Li Mingtao looked solemn, holding the joystick with both hands, ready to release the automatic state of the "Sky Train" at any time.  There were nearly a hundred airborne commanders and fighters behind him. After all, this was a heavy responsibility. If you were not careful, the consequences would be disastrous.  Li Mingtao is an experienced pilot.  In the late Anti-Japanese War, he flew on the "Hump Route" for eight months. This time, he and three former Kuomintang pilots who had flown the Hump Route personally approached Commander Deng Feng and volunteered to fly the mission.  Deng Feng did not consider whether they had flown the hump route, because the aircraft at that time were not the same as those of the Chinese Air Force now. Mainly because their technology was really good, and they both had 2,000 hours of flight practice.  Give them a chance to nod, and therefore grant their request.  At 9:33, Geng Zhi, deputy commander of the 1st Airborne Division, gave the order to prepare for parachuting. The captains of each aircraft pressed the button, and the sound of "beep, beep, beep" sounded, and the indicator light also changed from red to yellow. Communication in the cabin  The formation leader's aircraft was informed that it was "approaching the airborne landing field".  "Level 1 preparation! Level 1 preparation!" The comrades shouted at the same time as they stood up, lifted the stools and bent their waists, tucked down the seat belts, and assumed a stand-off posture.  The steel helmets pressed against the comrades in front, like tigers ready to attack.  When the yellow indicator light turns green again, the three doors at the front and rear of the aircraft open at the same time.  The airborne troops jumped out of the plane in three groups without hesitation, "swish, swish, swish", and swooped into the vast sky like eagles. Large "Sky Train" transport aircraft flew over Siliguri overwhelmingly.  Then, the spectacular scene of the goddess scattering flowers appeared: Chinese airborne troops filled the sky like stars, miraculously falling from the sky. The airborne landing site of Tiger Camp of the 1st Airborne Division was Durga Village, 2 kilometers northwest of Siliguri County, and 2 kilometers southwest of  km Saktiga town in the west and Siliguri district in the west on the east bank of the Teesta river in this triangular area.  Durga Village is located on the east bank of the Teesta River. There is the only highway from mainland India through northeastern India - Highway 31.  There is a Shirkar road bridge over the Teesta river.  It is an important link between South India and North India.  Less than two kilometers south of Saktiga Town is India¡¯s only meter-gauge New Japeri Railway to the Northeast Border Special Zone.  Controlling these two roads and railways will cut off the connection between north and south India, making it impossible for the Indian army to respond from the north to the south, causing psychological panic in the 33rd Army of the Indian Army's Northern Military District and disintegrating their fighting spirit in order to achieve  The purpose of defeating others without fighting.  The goal of the 1st Airborne Division in this battle is to seize the Shirkar Road Bridge and the New Japeri Railway Bridge. If they control it, they will control the Siliguri passage, and they will also control the situation in North India, that is, the Northeastern Border Zone of India.  .  Gengzhi landed in a woods 500 meters north of the Shirkar Highway Bridge. The airdrop point was not very good, but he was not scratched. He quickly took off his parachute and jumped from a tree fork.  He held the Type 51 automatic rifle tightly and kept moving quickly from one tree to another, searching and guarding the airdrop point.  In the airborne troops, soldiers and officers are the most equal. Everyone has to face death and parachute to fight behind the enemy's rear.  There was no mention of the soldiers charging in front and the officers staying behind.  Therefore, the officers of the airborne troops can be universally respected and supported by the majority of soldiers, because they share the same joys and sorrows, share weal and woe, advance and retreat together, and depend on each other for life and death just like ordinary soldiers.
