In 1962, the Indian army invaded the border territory between China and India, and the mainland army immediately launched a self-defense counterattack, which was called the Sino-Indian War.
When the war broke out, the disparity in the strength of the two armies was too great, and India had no chance of winning.
The Chinese side had planned to negotiate peacefully with India so as not to increase the casualties between the two sides, and Premier Zhou even went to India to seek a peaceful settlement of the dispute.
However, although India is at an absolute disadvantage and blindly confident, Nehru even threatened to fight to the end, but he is still unwilling to negotiate peace.
At India's insistence, the war resumed, and India was defeated, and the war became a disgrace in India's history.
Where did India's confidence come from to provoke a war, and why was it unwilling to accept peace talks?
Just for self-defense, he was forced to fight
In fact, the territorial disputes on the Sino-Indian border all stem from a British colonial rule.
As a former colonized country, India has only been a puppet of Britain for many years, and it is completely unable to determine its own national fortunes.
During the British colonization of India, it once divided a "McMahon Line" with the Tibetan forces, and included part of the mainland territory into the territory of India.
The mainland government does not approve of the illegally demarcated "McMahon Line," but India has maintained the "McMahon Line" considerably because of the tangible benefits it has reaped.
In order to compete for border territory, India has repeatedly provoked wars along the Sino-Indian border.
It was not until 1962 that the Indian military gathered troops, crossed the border between the two countries, and entered the mainland to provoke trouble.
In order to safeguard the security of the motherland and the people, the mainland's Xinjiang and Tibet border guards have waged a war of self-defense and counterattack along the border.
In order to protect the security of our territory, while India wants to invade the territory, both sides have the belief that they will win.
However, the difference in military strength between the two countries is too huge, and India is losing and retreating.
The reason why our army chose to face the battle was originally to defend itself and counterattack, not to invade India and expand its territory.
Therefore, after driving India out of mainland territory and uprooting many of its piggyback points on the border one by one, our army proposed to India to avoid war, and the two countries jointly negotiated a settlement of the war.
Defeated birthday gifts
In fact, in anyone's opinion, the mainland's demand for peace talks has given India a step forward.
If India has a certain understanding of its military strength and walks down the steps to accept the peace talks, the matter will not have to be brought to the point where it cannot be resolved.
However, it is a pity that Indian President Jawaharlal Nehru has blind confidence in his heart, and after the defeat of this war, the Indian side not only did not examine itself, but even blamed all the reasons for the defeat in this war on the mainland liberation army.
Nehru framed our army for a sneak attack, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to win the battle.
Nehru, who was arrogant, believed that as long as the Indian military was ready to fight, the next battle would inevitably defeat the Continental Army's might and their aggressive goals would be achieved.
The then US President John F. Kennedy fanned the flames in front of Nehru, instigated India to fight again, and tried every means to prevent India from accepting peace talks.
Kennedy promised the Indian government financial and weapons assistance, and at Kennedy's instigation, Nehru became more confident and continued to increase his troops on the battlefield, and by mid-November, the number of Indian soldiers on the border reached 50,000.
Nehru's confidant, Lieutenant General Kaul, in order to present his congratulatory gifts on the president's birthday on November 14, disregarded the actual situation of the army and launched an attack on the mainland in advance.
Self-inflicted humiliation
Dong Zhanlin, commander of the 130th Division of our army, arrived at the scene to personally inspect the enemy's situation, Dong Zhanlin believed that the area around Walong was not suitable for a roundabout outflanking, and the Indian military had already been prepared for a long time, and our army's rash frontal assault would certainly bring a lot of casualties.
Later, Dong Zhanlin found that there were no Indian soldiers stationed on a certain high ground.
If this place is occupied by the other side first, it will be very unfavorable for the PLA to counterattack, but if it is occupied by our side, it can easily break through the opponent's defense.
After our troops occupied the heights, the Indian side launched an assault on the heights.
In the course of the impact, the weakness of the Indian army was exposed, first of all, the soldiers were physically exhausted, and after a few rounds of impact, their physical strength was exhausted.
The second is that the Indian military's ammunition does not match the weapons, and without strong weapon support, there is no suspense about India's defeat.
After several days of confrontation, the morale of the Indian military was weakened, and our army decided to take the initiative to attack.
The seemingly solid defense of the Indian army was vulnerable to the attack of the mainland army, and it was not long before the Indian military became a plate of scattered sand.
Lieutenant General Kaul left his soldiers behind and fled in the chaos and asked Nehru for help, expressing his desire to apply to the United States to join the fighting, which Nehru refused.
With the strength of the Indian army, in the absence of foreign aid, defeat seemed to be expected, and the mainland PLA successfully regained Warong with great strength.
In this battle, India lost its armor and lost its armor, 4 brigade commanders of the 11th Brigade of the Indian army, one was killed and two were captured, 1,200 soldiers in the infantry company were killed, and at the same time, our army captured countless enemy weapons and gunpowder.
The rejection of peace talks and insistence on starting a battle resulted in a great loss of morale for the Indian military, and the war became a humiliating war in Indian history.
