After the victory in the first battle to recapture the Tawang area, Zhang Dabiao did not stop for a moment.

Through this actual combat, Zhang Dabiao had a thorough understanding of the enemy's strengths and weaknesses. He had no doubts about the information he had obtained from Ren Zhong before the war, and had a direct understanding of this unfamiliar opponent.

The 344th and 345th Infantry Regiments, which were originally used as support, no longer had any scruples and began to implement a plan to infiltrate and divide the enemy on a large scale.

The three main regiments directly divided their troops into three routes and launched a campaign to completely wipe out the so-called elite ace 7th Brigade of India.

The two artillery regiments slowly advanced along the path taken by the main force regiment.

In Zhang Dabiao's opinion, using the main force as a tactical cluster is enough to deal with any Indian troops in the area and boldly attack behind enemy lines.

The goal of this campaign was to completely wipe out the four brigades of the Indian Fourth Division that had invaded the Xishankou-Bandila area.

After they captured Xishankou, the long snake formation deployed by the Indians on the line from Xishankou to Bandila was broken.

This area is on the south side of the main Himalayas and is a typical high mountain and dense forest area. There are not many flat areas in the middle for deployment of defense. Except for a simple road connecting Xishankou to Bondila, the mountains on both sides of the road are dangerous and almost impassable.

The Indian-occupied Dejang Dzong is a dam of several square kilometers. With the construction of bunkers on the hillsides and roads on both sides, it has become a strategic pass. Lieutenant Colonel Raton Singh, commander of the 5th Battalion of the Indian Assam Infantry Regiment, led a battalion to guard this key point. Not far from Dejang Dzong, there is a bridge connecting Dejang Dzong with the highway of Bandila. If this bridge is occupied, the Indian defenders of Dejang Dzong will have no way to retreat.

After all, Dejangzong is surrounded by steep and difficult-to-climb mountains.

When the 344th Regiment, with two squadrons of the Airborne Three-Ball Special Brigade, approached Dejangzong by hiding during the day and traveling at night.

Lieutenant Colonel Raton Singh made a phone call to Brigadier General Dalvi, commander of the 7th Brigade.

"Sir, please rest assured. My Fifth Battalion will defend Dejang Dzong and we will make sure it is foolproof!" Lieutenant Colonel Raton Singh Bang Bang patted his chest and said, "I don't care how many troops they send. They will never be able to break through the position of my heroic and invincible Fifth Battalion."

Lieutenant Colonel Raton Singh was very confident. On the one hand, the road to the north of Dejangzong was a natural narrow mountain pass with a width of less than 20 meters. The Fifth Battalion, which had occupied this place in advance, built more than a dozen machine gun bunkers around the pass from a high position, forming multiple cross-fires to cover the pass tightly.

On the flat land behind him, a howitzer squadron position was built, which could launch artillery attacks on the attacking enemy artillery units at any time. After occupying the advantageous terrain, the artillery here could mark and correct the angle of artillery fire within a few kilometers along the road in advance, and accurately and accurately carry out covering artillery attacks in the vicinity.

This is a deadly artillery coverage area for the attacking side.

Because of these two types of firepower, Lieutenant Colonel Raton Singh can be said to have taken advantage of the geographical advantage when the Air Force was unable to launch bombing operations in this plateau area.

"Lieutenant Colonel Raton, please be sure to strengthen the reconnaissance and vigilance on the hills on both sides of the defense zone. The troops of Dongda are very good at climbing. We suffered a historic defeat in the Tawang area due to the lack of necessary vigilance. Our Seventh Brigade must not repeat the same mistake!" Brigadier General Dalvi said solemnly.

After being beaten up several times in a row, Asan's command finally began to realize the seriousness of the problem. Even in the current favorable situation, Dalvi dared not relax.

"Yes! Sir!" Lieutenant Colonel Raton Singh responded loudly.

But in his heart, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Dalvi's excessive caution.

Wasn't the previous failure caused by the blind command of those stupid colleagues? Raton Singh would never make such a low-level mistake!
However, Lieutenant Colonel Raton Singh still sent several soldiers to climb up the mountains on both sides to serve as guard.

"We launched the Dejangzong attack at midnight. Before the attack, Captain Zhao brought the aerial special forces to infiltrate the enemy's artillery position and take down the position to eliminate the biggest threat to our army. Then we can defend it if we can, or blow up the enemy's artillery and retreat if we can't.

After we succeeded, we launched a surprise attack under the cover of artillery fire. The commandos used the rocks that were everywhere at the mountain pass to sneak up and used fuel-air explosive bombs to destroy the enemy's bunkers! "

The commander of the 344th Regiment, Ji Changkong, said to the battalion company commander and the captain of the air special forces team, Zhao Zhongyi.

"The first battalion will be responsible for the main attack, while the second and third battalions will provide support and artillery cover.

Captain Zhao, after you airdrop on the enemy's artillery position, can you drive the three-wheeled vehicle back and carry our assault platoon to capture the Lahong Bridge between Dejangzong and Bandila?

If we can capture Lahong Bridge, the enemies of Derangzong will have no chance to escape.”

If there were no helicopters in the plateau area, it would be very difficult to maneuver around the terrain on a large scale. After all, the mountains here are not something that ordinary people can climb over. On the plateau several thousand meters above, people have to gasp for breath if they do a little more exercise. It is basically impossible for all soldiers to learn rock climbing skills.

Fortunately, we now have aerial three-wheelers. Although their transportation capacity is not very large, it is still different from having them.

It is crucial to capture the enemy's artillery position. Ji Changkong must use his greatest combat power where it counts, but blocking the enemy's retreat is also crucial. If there is a chance, Ji Changkong hopes to have the best of both worlds.

Otherwise, if the enemy in Dejangzong drove away, it would be really difficult to deal with. Now the team that came down from the roof of the world plateau did not have any mechanized equipment, and the heavy equipment of the combined brigade could not come here at all, so the Type A regiment was allowed to lead the way as the main force.

"Captain Ji, if we just want to transport them up there, comrades just need to close their eyes and hold on tight. There will be no problem in transporting them. I think it won't be a big problem if we make a few more trips and transport a company over there. In this way, our commando team will first take down the enemy's artillery positions and eliminate the enemy's long-range firepower, and then we can transport troops on a large scale to the enemy's rear.

In Dejangzong, it is better to attack from behind the enemy. Our frontal attack is just a feint. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the attacking troops to escape the cross-fire coverage of the enemy bunkers. If we attack from the front and get close to the enemy position, there will be heavy casualties. "

Zhao Zhongyi was able to become a squad leader in the special forces, and his combat skills were no worse than those of the battalion or company commander. It was very difficult to attack Dejangzong from the front, but it would be much easier to attack from the back. After all, when the Asan designed the defense system, they did not expect that there would be a large-scale enemy attacking from behind.

The aerial three-wheeled motorcycle is operated by a special forces team. If the soldiers sitting in the back do not need to shoot or fight on it, they basically do not need any training. As long as they sit still and do not move, there is really no risk.

Of course, it is more troublesome for those who are afraid of heights, but these soldiers are very young, so there are not many people with fear of heights. If they feel uncomfortable after takeoff, they can just put it down. The maximum flight speed of the three-wheeled vehicle in the air can reach 185 kilometers per hour. A few kilometers is just a matter of minutes for it. It can transport 20 soldiers in ten minutes for a round trip, and a company can transport them in more than an hour.

Therefore, before the attack, it was not difficult for Zhao Zhongyi to secretly deploy the assault company directly behind the enemy's rear.

Taking advantage of the falling night, the air special forces team began to act. After sending a platoon of the assault company to lie in ambush near Lahong Bridge, they gradually sent another company of troops to the west of Dejangzong, waiting for the arrival of the general attack.

When everything was ready, the aerial special forces team carried the special forces members and headed straight for Asan's artillery position.

This time, facing the special forces team that descended from the sky, the Indian artillery had almost no reaction and was sent away by the 56th assault ship before they could figure out the situation!

There was no suspense in the following battle. After occupying the artillery position, the 344th Regiment attacked from the front and back. In the face of the fuel-air bomb, the simple bunkers of the Indians were like coffins, making it like a game of whack-a-mole for the soldiers holding rocket launchers.

If we attack head-on, it would be very troublesome to face the crossfire of machine guns. But for the assault company attacking from the rear, it would not be too easy. The Indians set the machine gun muzzles to face north, so there is almost no obstruction on the south!
The assault platoon that came up with the fuel-air explosive bombs faced the Indian bunkers and destroyed them one by one with one shot, as easy and enjoyable as playing whack-a-mole!
Even the bunkers are still intact, but after being bombed by the fuel-air explosive bombs, the Indians inside have become mature people!
Lieutenant Colonel Raton Singh, who was hiding in the Dejangzong Command Post, saw that the situation was not right. He called on more than a dozen guards to start a tactical shift before the enemy surrounded the place on a large scale!
The bold words spoken to Brigadier General Dalvi earlier had long been forgotten!

"Quick! Quick! Quick!" Lieutenant Colonel Raton Singh waved his pistol and crawled with a dozen soldiers into two cars. He sat in a Willys jeep, and the other soldiers climbed onto trucks.

The Indian driver, who had been watching the extremely miserable battle situation in the command post, also turned pale. They did not expect that the attacking opponent would be so terrifying!
Not only was their firepower strong, but their accuracy was amazing, whether it was a rocket launcher or a submachine gun, they could kill a large number of Indian soldiers without cover!

So after hearing Lieutenant Colonel Raton Singh's call to retreat, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed southwards.

On the dilapidated road, the Willys Jeep bounced around and almost flew into the sky.

However, Lieutenant Colonel Raton Singh did not feel any of this at all. Instead, he complained that the car was not going fast enough!

"Faster, faster, faster!" Lieutenant Colonel Raton Singh roared anxiously.

"Sir, this is the fastest!" said the driver with a bitter face as he endured the severe bumps.

Lahong Bridge.

"Will the Indians here come running over?" After dealing with several Indian soldiers guarding the bridge, the soldier known as Niu Sanwa and several of his companions lay behind a rock beside the road and whispered to them.

"Just wait. If the company commander and his men accidentally miss a few Indians, they will definitely pass by here." The companion next to Niu Sanwa, who was aiming a rocket launcher at the middle of the bridge, said confidently.

"The captain and his men are eating meat, so it's good enough for us to have some soup."

As they got further away from the Dejangzong battlefield, the sound of gunfire became weaker and weaker, and Lieutenant Colonel Raton Singh's heart finally settled down.

He began to put away the pistol and held on to the handle above the car window tightly with his hands to avoid being thrown out accidentally.

Although the road ahead is winding and runs along the river bank, there is no one on the road. This place is several kilometers away from Dejangzong, so the opponent will probably not run to a more backward place to ambush him so quickly.

It's like I've saved my life.

The car quickly arrived at Lahong Bridge.

"A fool really comes!" Looking at the car coming from the other side of the bridge, Niu Sanwa said with a grin, pointing the submachine gun in his hand at Ah San in the car.

"Don't be in a hurry to fight, wait until I shoot down the jeep in front!" The rocket launcher next to Niu Sanwa aimed at the Willys jeep and whispered. When it reached the middle of the bridge, he fired decisively. The rocket emitted white smoke and rushed straight towards the Willys in an instant!
With a loud bang, the Willys Jeep was blown into the air and turned upside down on the front of the oncoming truck!
The truck driver was crushed to death in the cab on the spot. The truck lost control and swayed for more than ten meters before crashing into the raging river!
That's it?

Niu Sanwa didn't expect that he would hit the target with one shot and directly sent all the Ah Sans in the two cars back to their hometown!

Although Asan, who fell into the river, was still struggling to stay afloat, as long as Niu Sanwa stood up and took a few looks at the fast-flowing river, he didn't think there was any possibility for them to escape.

While guarding the bridge, Asan's Fifth Battalion was wiped out and not a single man escaped.

Niu Sanwa and his men were guarding the Lahong Bridge. In addition to sending Lieutenant Colonel Raton Singh into the river to feed the fish, they also captured more than a dozen Indian soldiers on the bridge with their poorly spoken "Guns don't kill!"
Zhang Dabiao pushed forward all the way and surrounded the 7th Brigade of India without waiting for them to react, and captured Brigadier General Dalvi of the th Brigade of India.

随着三个主力团分头跳跃猛击,阿三拉加普特联队第2营、第9廓尔喀联队第1营2个连、旁遮普联队第9营、阿萨姆步兵联队第5营,阿三第七旅、第六十二旅、第六十四旅一支支阿三的队伍被全部歼灭和俘虏。

Ten days after the battle began, Asan's Fourth Division was almost completely wiped out, with 1383 people killed in action, 1696 missing, and 3968 captured.

The destroyed artillery positions of the Indian Army

When the Dongda counterattack forces in the eastern and western sections launched a full-scale counterattack against the Indians, the Indian elite who had been so arrogant were all defeated at the first touch. Facing the heavenly soldiers and generals, they had no power to fight back at all. The main Indian forces on the front line were completely wiped out, and most of them, from the brigade commander down, were taken prisoners.

Our eastern front troops went straight out of the southern foothills of the Himalayas, and the unobstructed Assam Plain of India was right in front of them; the western front troops broke through the Kunlun Pass, and the vanguard troops were only 300 kilometers away from the Indian capital.

After a battle, Dongda's self-defense counterattack against Ah San achieved a perfect victory. After achieving the expected combat objectives, the superiors decisively ended the battle and unilaterally announced the successful completion of the self-defense counterattack. From now on, a comprehensive ceasefire will be achieved and preparations for negotiations will be made! (End of this chapter)
