    After landing, Deputy Division Commander Geng Zhi faced the airborne field to search and guard, while analyzing and judging the situation on the ground in front of him: The air mixed with the smell of thick gunpowder smoke floated among the trees, indicating that our army's bombers had already targeted the Indian troops around the airborne field.  Key military targets were cleared; there was no enemy fire attack on the ground during the parachuting process, indicating that the Indian army was not prepared for anti-airborne landings in this area; there was no sound of gunfire around the airborne landing site, indicating that the enemy did not ambush in advance and would not  There was too much armed force; from the aerial observation during the parachute landing and the sound of the roaring water now, it showed that this place was only 200 meters away from the Teesta Valley; from the snapping sounds of branches constantly coming from the woods, he judged that his comrades  They kept falling around him. [] He took out the whistle from the handle of the paratrooper's knife and blew the assembly whistle several times.  Soon, more than a dozen soldiers from the 5th company gathered from all around.  Geng Zhi looked at these soldiers who were on high alert and ready to attack and said jokingly: "I'm very happy to see that everyone is still beard and tail. Okay, everyone will separate immediately, search around, assemble the team, collect  Combat supplies and equipment, rescue the wounded. If there is no battle, gather here in 20 minutes and assemble towards the battlefield. "Although Geng Zhi is the deputy commander, he is different from Yang Guang.  He appears wherever there is war and has experienced hundreds of battles.  This was his first time participating in a real battle.  He had to pretend to be relaxed, which was very important to his and his comrades' mood.  He then patted the shoulders of Wang Xiaoping, the communications staff officer who graduated from the Communications College with honors last year and was assigned to the 1st Airborne Division Headquarters, and said: "Inform regiment commander Li Fuen and deputy commander Liu Feng of our position. Contact 5 immediately  , the commander of the 6th company came here. """ Then he took out the radio signal detection locator from his backpack, pulled out the antenna, pressed the "a" key and moved left and right, and soon received several signals within 5oo meters.  Radio waves emitted from containers containing airborne equipment.  While the sound was ringing, the indicator light was flashing continuously. He turned around and said to Wang Xiaoping: "Consultant Wang, don't move here. I'll collect the airdropped equipment. I'll be back in 20 minutes." As he spoke, he lifted his right hand  He loaded the automatic rifle, opened the safety, and walked towards the locked firing area holding the radio signal detection locator in his left hand.  When he drove a turret, the turret was equipped with a 14.5mm high-level dual-purpose machine gun and a Hongjian-54 anti-tank missile launcher. On the left and right sides of the turret, there were also 6 76mm smoke grenade launchers.  Wheeled paratrooper infantry fighting vehicle.  When he returned to the edge of the woods, he saw the guard post set up by the 5th company. He shouted loudly: "Brothers, there is another one 35o meters southeast of here at 2 o'clock. Go and drive it back!" This kind of wheeled paratroopers  The infantry fighting vehicle is an important mobile armor equipment for the airborne troops. It has both offensive and defensive capabilities. Its armor protection capability is quite good. The front can protect against 12.7 mm bullet attacks, and other parts can protect against 7.62 mm bullets and shell fragments. This airborne vehicle  The seven wheeled paratrooper infantry fighting vehicles are the main mobile assault force of this unit.  Geng Zhi saw the company commanders of the 5th and 6th companies approaching.  He stopped the car and got out.  "Report, a total of 198 people from the 5th company participated in this operation, and now 181 people have been gathered, including 19 wounded and 1 sacrifice. The other 17 people have not yet returned to the army. The weapons and equipment are in good condition, and our company's airdrop equipment has been found 84 times. Report  Finished, please give instructions," Li Fengshan, commander of the 5th company, reported first.  "You immediately lead your company to occupy the Shirkar Highway Bridge as originally planned, eliminate the Indian troops guarding the bridge, and establish a bridgehead position." Geng Zhi ordered.  ¡°Yes,¡± Li Fengshan, commander of the 5th company, agreed, turned around and left.  The commander of the 6th company immediately reported the situation of the 6th company, which was generally similar to that of the 5th company.  "Captain 6, you leave a platoon to continue searching for missing personnel and airdropped equipment. They will serve as the reserve team of 5 Company. Establish defense in depth around Durga Village." Geng Zhi issued the order after listening to the report from Commander 6, and then  Walking next to the paratrooper infantry fighting vehicle, I used the vehicle radio to ask Commander Li Fuen of the Tiger Regiment about the situation in Saktiga Town and the assembly situation of the 3rd and 4th companies.  "The 3rd and 4th companies suffered casualties, 16 were missing, and the airborne equipment acceptance rate was 89," Commander Li Funen said on the radio: "We encountered slight resistance from some Indian armed police and local armed forces in Saktiga Town. Now the 3rd company  Two platoons from the 4th Company and 3rd Company are currently clearing out these Indian armed personnel. The 4th Company and another platoon from the 3rd Company are advancing towards the New Japeri Railway Bridge. So far, the personnel and equipment situation on Liu Feng's side is pretty good.  It¡¯s almost the same as mine, except that the fighting there is very fierce.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll leave that to you. I¡¯ll go to Liu Feng¡¯s side first.¡± He got in the car and took four divisions with him.  The soldiers of the directly affiliated special operations unit headed towards Siliguri County where the gunfire was the most intensive.  The airborne casualties and missing persons were close to 16,.  He knew that some of the missing personnel were either seriously injured or died, and the other group deviated from the airborne field but would gradually return to the company soon.  Airborne under such terrain and weather conditions, theoretically speaking, it is quite good to achieve such an effect.  But still??When he really faced such a loss, he felt bursts of heartache.  These are all good brothers who depend on each other for life and death. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? around Siliguri County Government, almost all windows became the focus of firepower for Indian soldiers and Indian local armed forces. They climbed onto the roof, hid in ditches, and hid behind the wall, constantly shooting at our airborne troops.  Some Indians laid buses across the street, used them as cover and kept shooting. There were even some Indian women among the resisting crowd.  The entire Siliguri County Government seemed to be surrounded by a huge bunker.  Bullets came like raindrops from all directions.  For the 1st Airborne Company, every step forward became extremely difficult.  The 1st company's repeated attacks were always suppressed behind the walled house by intensive firepower.  Geng Zhi ordered the infantry fighting vehicle to be retreated to a relatively high slope 6 more than 800 meters away from the county government building, and then asked the four soldiers on the vehicle, two on guard, and two to take the 1o7mm single-barreled rocket launcher on the vehicle.  Come down and bombard the four-story county government building ahead.  I used the 14.5 mm high-level dual-purpose machine gun on my car to shoot wildly at the buses crossing the county government street. I immediately beat up these buses like honeycombs, and the Indian armed personnel in the cars were immediately beaten.  Flesh and blood flew everywhere. A 107 mm armor-piercing incendiary bomb hit the center of the second floor of the Siliguri County Government Office. In an instant, a huge cloud of gray-black smoke poured out of the building, and then the flames rose and ignited.  Then the two airborne troops fired 4 armor-piercing incendiary bombs on the east and west sides of the second floor. Bricks and tiles mixed with the enemy's mutilated limbs flew out of the crumbling building.  The entire 2nd floor was bombed with 5 huge holes connected together, spewing thick smoke and fire outwards. The 4-story building tilted forward in the fire, and the entire building collapsed with a "boom".  Buildings fell apart and were reduced to ashes.  The surrounding buildings were shrouded in huge clouds of ash. The Indian militants in the surrounding houses were stunned by the shock, dumbfounded by the explosion, and frightened.  With the help of the huge ash cloud formed by the collapse of the building, the airborne troops of the 1st Company of the Tiger Regiment immediately launched an attack on this area, throwing handleless grenades into the house occupied by the Indians through the windows and doors.  After more than 2 hours of fierce street fighting, the county seat of Siliguri was finally captured. The 1st and 2nd companies of the Tiger Regiment also suffered 56 casualties, 21 of whom gave their precious lives.  In this street battle, companies 1 and 2 killed more than 2,500 Indian soldiers and local armed personnel. Their corpses covered the streets around the county government.  More than 400 Indian prisoners and the seized drugs were handed over to more than 300 Indian People's Liberation Army active in this area. Under the guidance of two Chinese consultants, the Indian People's Liberation Army quickly took over the control.  Siliguri County was moved to Siliguri County and the Provisional Government of Siliguri County was established.  Siliguri is the choke point connecting two parts of India. Some people compare it to the 7 inches of a snake.  Of course, India is not willing to let the Chinese grab its throat and pinch its 7 inches.  Two hours after the Chinese airborne troops landed in Siliguri, Nehru immediately convened an emergency cabinet meeting and decided that no matter what the cost, the Chinese airborne troops must be eliminated and the east-west channel opened.  According to the instructions of the cabinet meeting, the Indian Ministry of National Defense dispatched troops from all over the country and ordered: The Eastern Military Region immediately organized a division or more of troops to go south to join the 3rd Regiment of the Southern Military Region, and to move north to south specifically to open up the Siliguri Corridor and eliminate China  The strategic mission of this airborne trooper.  The Eastern Military Region immediately organized a force of more than a division to go south to meet the 3rd Regiment of the Southern Military Region, and to move north to south to specifically carry out the strategic task of opening up the Siliguri Corridor and eliminating this Chinese airborne force.  On April 18, the Chinese Air Force carried out a "pointing" operation against the targets of India's Ministry of Defense and other important Indian military command agencies, causing almost all senior figures in the Indian military to be buried in a sea of ??fire.  Since Lieutenant General Lapson, commander of the Indian Army's Eastern Theater Command, also died in the bombing, the position of Commander of the Eastern Theater Command was temporarily held concurrently by Lieutenant General Umrao Singh, commander of the Indian 33rd Army stationed in the east.  Faced with such a rotten situation, Umrao Singh really didn't want to take over this position and become this official at this time, but the appointment letter signed by Nehru had been handed down.  Now the situation in northeastern India is precarious, and the military strength is even more stretched. In the east, a total of 5 divisions, 60 people, and 7th Brigade, more than 6,000 people have been wiped out. To the north, they are facing the pressure of China's army, and to the south, 5,000 Indian People's Liberation Army is starting from Chittagong.  More than 3,000 Chinese People's Liberation Army Marine Corps members and 20 "Destroyer" tanks boarded the site.  With the support of 2o "Raider" wheeled armored vehicles and 3o 122mm "Tempest" 4o rocket launchers, they launched a comprehensive and large-scale offensive in northeastern India. In just one day, the People's Liberation Army of China and India,  Use effective tactics such as concentrating superior forces, roundabout encirclement, flanking and rear attacks, attacking fortified points, close combat and night combat to fight annihilation wars, promote the spirit of revolutionary heroism of "one is not afraid of hardship, and the other is not afraid of death", work together and fight bravely, and in ancient times,  The Wahati area cleared more than 40 Indian military strongholds blocked by the Indian army in the liberated areas of Meghala State, and wiped out more than 3,000 Indian troops here. At the same time, it also launched a fierce attack on Dimapur and Nagaland.  Yin JieThis action of the People's Liberation Army dealt a heavy blow to the Indian authorities, effectively cooperated with China's counterattacks on the east-west and central lines, and created favorable conditions for the liberation of the entire northern India.  The purpose of the counterattack by the Chinese and Indian People's Liberation Army attacking from the south is to eliminate the 1st Division stationed in Tezpur. The 1st Division will join forces with the ** Military Region troops that counterattacked from the east to completely annihilate the Indian Army's eastern defenders and liberate the entire northeastern part of India.  Then he marched westward and met with the counterattack troops of the 6th Group Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army on the central and western fronts in the Ganges River Plain in India.  Lieutenant General Umrao Singh saw that the People's Liberation Army of China and India had reached his hometown in Nagaland.  He knew in his heart that East India was in danger this time. Faced with such a powerful offensive, no one could make a comeback. He was just fulfilling his duty as a soldier.  So he decided to shrink the front line and ordered the commander of the 4th Division, Major General Niramdan Prasad, to abandon the Tawang area and return to Tezpur; he ordered the entire 2nd Division stationed in the Walong area on the eastern section of the Sino-Indian border to withdraw to  In short, the Tezpur and Dibrugarh areas should be withdrawn from the disputed areas with China, so as not to further provoke the Chinese and trigger a larger-scale attack by the Chinese on the Indian mainland.  Major General Niramdan Prashad, commander of the 4th Indian Division.  Distraught, he hurriedly flew to Nagaland by a two-seater Bell helicopter from the 4th Army's Tezpur headquarters to attend the military meeting of the Eastern Military Region chaired by the temporary Acting Commander of the Eastern Military Region, Umrao Singh.  The meeting was attended by Lieutenant General Umrao Singh, commander of the 33rd Army, Lieutenant General Ma Jinniers, Air Force Commander of the Eastern Military Region, and most of the heads of units above the division level of the eastern divisions of the Indian Army.  Umrao Singh, commander of the 33rd Army of the Eastern Military District, conveyed the order of the Ministry of National Defense and the combat plan of the Indian General Staff.  Ordered the Indian 4th Division to attack and advance to the Siliguri area and the 3rd Regiment of the Southern Military Region to open up the Siliguri Corridor from north to south.  After hearing this order, the commander of the 4th Division, Prashad, stood up and asked loudly: "Why must our division complete this operation?"
