【Galwan Valley Conflict】
"On June 15, 2020, the clashes between the Chinese and Indian armies in the Galwan Valley region were the most serious incidents on the border between the two countries in the 21st century."
"However, what happened later was more thrilling and tense than many people knew, because the Chinese and Indian armies had gathered heavy troops to confront each other, almost triggering a border firefight!"
"According to later statistics, at that time, the Chinese and Indian armies deployed tens of thousands of troops, tanks and planes near the Line of Actual Control."
In April 2024, the memoirs of India former Army Chief of Staff General Manoj · Naravane were published, "Four Stars of Destiny" and "Four Stars of Destiny" wrote:
"On August 31, 2020, at night, the Chinese army tanks had already driven to the east of Ladakh, near the Rechin Pass on the Line of Actual Control, and the T-90S main battle tank also drove there!"
"At that time, our forward observation posts were constantly reporting that the Chinese army had launched tactical maneuvers there and was beginning to outflank our positions!"
"Is this a precursor to an offensive by the Chinese army?"
"The commanders at all levels and the soldiers at the front became very nervous at that time, and even began to commotion!"
"At that time, due to the urgency of the situation, I immediately called Defense Minister Rajnath · Singh to ask for instructions."
"After waiting for a while, Singh replied and told me that he had spoken to Prime Minister Modi about it."
"And then he said, it's a pure military judgment, and you can do whatever you see fit."
"I feel that I have received a hot potato, and now all the responsibilities are with me again!"
"Taking a big breath, I sat there quietly for a few minutes."
"I called the commander of the Northern Military District, Lieutenant General Joshi."
"I told him, don't shoot first! This will give the Chinese side a reason to go to bell, and then it will be passive. ”
【General Narravane of the Indian Army】
"Now that I think about it, I was lucky that there was no war that night!"
According to the information disclosed after the incident, the Indian army assembled a total of 2 divisions and 3 brigades, 177 T-90S main battle tanks, and 120 BMP-2 infantry combat vehicles, and specially formulated the "Snow Leopard" military operation for this purpose.
An attempt was made to take advantage of the fire suppression and superiority of the tank group to enter the territory of China and expand its occupied area.
On September 7, 2020, the Indian army launched the "Snow Leopard Operation" (nicknamed Snow Leopard by the 254th Independent Armored Brigade of India), and unexpectedly dispatched tanks into the area around the Rechin Pass.
Then, there was the "Divine Cannon Mountain Shooting Incident!" ”
It is said that at least "100~200 gunshots" rang out on the positions of the Chinese and Indian armies at that time, and they began to enter a "hot war".
On September 8, the spokesman of the Western Theater of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs angrily condemned the Indian army for illegally crossing the line and entering the Shenpao Mountain area of Chinese territory.
At the same time, the Indian army brazenly fired a threat at the Chinese border patrol officers who had come out to negotiate, which was the first time since 1975 that the silence of the place was broken!
The Chinese side declares that this is a serious military provocation! The nature is very bad, and the officers and soldiers of the Chinese border defense forces stationed in the area will "take countermeasures to stabilize and control the situation on the ground".
India's spokesman said that after China's unilateral attempt to drive away the Indian troops was blocked, it first fired gunfire threats into the air, while the Indian side "chose restraint maturely and responsibly."
The area of the Rechin Pass is strategically important, overlooking the main communication route behind the Spangur, which threatens our army.
Here's a recap of what has happened between the Chinese and Indian militaries since the outbreak of the cold-weapon conflict in June 2020.
Since the clash in the Galwan Valley, the smell of gunpowder between China and India in the region has become stronger and stronger, and the situation has become increasingly serious.
At that time, the Indian army was stationed in the Galwan Valley area, with more than 5,600 people, and could invade our border at any time.
The five battalions of the 114th Brigade of the Indian Army are deployed in the area of the Galwan Valley, and more than 1,300 of them are distributed in a total of 43 strongholds that have invaded China.
The front-line border guards of our army do not dare to slack off in the slightest.
When the time came, in August 2020, in the confrontation between the Chinese and Indian armies on the border, not only did they bring guns a long time ago, but also dispatched artillery and even main battle tanks.
Then, the Chinese and Indian armies began to build up their forces near the Line of Actual Control, and the confrontation continued to escalate, and almost exchanged fire.
"As the confrontation on the Sino-Indian border becomes more and more intense, the two sides have entered into various preparations before the start of the war."
On August 29, the Indian army unilaterally occupied four heights on the Rechin Pass and began to build positions.
This situation quickly aroused the vigilance of the PLA, and then the PLA sent armored troops to support the front line.
"Since August 29, Chinese and Indian troops have occupied high ground and built positions in the area around Pangong Tso Lake."
On August 31, 2020, the India army discovered that PLA tanks had been deployed in the Mordo area.
However, they soon discovered that the PLA had outflanked the positions deployed by the Indian army, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
At this time, the aforementioned Chief of Staff of the India Army, General Naravane, who was in charge of the situation on the Sino-Indian border at the time, became nervous, and the PLA was a clear offensive signal.
As a result, the Indian army took urgent action to drive up the T-90S main battle tank and deployed it at the Rechin Pass.
"During the day on the 31st, the tanks of the Sino-Indian confrontation could clearly see each other with the naked eye."

[PLA 99A Main Battle Tank]
When the time came, on the night of August 31, there was a scene at the beginning, and the situation was tense to the extreme!
"If the PLA really makes a move in the next step, and the Indian army sits idly by and watches the PLA's actions and does not care, then once the fight starts, it will definitely suffer losses for India."
Under these circumstances, General Naravane, Chief of Staff of the India Army, immediately asked his superiors for instructions on how to act.
Still, after clarifying the bottom line of "never back down"!
Defence Minister Manmohan Singh finally told General Naravane clearly, "It's up to Naravane to decide!" ”
As mentioned earlier, General Naravane was there that night, "quietly" for a few minutes...
In these few minutes, his heart should be extremely contradictory, "It's just a storm"!
"The attitude of Prime Minister Modi and Defense Minister Manmohan Singh is ostensibly a trust and absolute delegation of power to him, the chief of staff of the army, but isn't this just 'throwing the pot'?"
"The point is, he has to continue all this!"
In fact, suppose Naravane gave the order, opened fire on the PLA, provoked a war, won or took advantage.
A bunch of high-level officials in India, everyone will come out to grab credit!
Assuming that he loses, it is still a very humiliating kind, and Naravane is a proper scapegoat, and there is no second choice!
He must bear all the consequences of going to war without permission!
Everything has already been thought out clearly, General Naravane, calmly called the commander of the Northern Military District, Lieutenant General Josh, and told him that he must not fire first.
"He first gave the order to drive a group of tanks to the front slope of the mountain pass, and then, he ordered to lower the muzzle and clearly convey to the PLA that he would not take the initiative to provoke a war!"
Such a night is destined to have countless people sleepless!
【J-20 Fighter】
In order to be foolproof, not long after, the relevant generals of the Indian army called the front-line commander of the PLA, Major General Liu Lin, and suggested that both sides should refrain from taking drastic actions.
"Moreover, both sides agreed to hold a meeting at Yamaguchi at 9:30 a.m. the next day to continue resolving the immediate issue."
Then, after a series of tense confrontations and displays of strength, as well as non-stop hotline communication and meetings, China and India continued.
On September 10, 2020, in Moscow, the capital of Russia, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi and India Foreign Minister S Jaishankar held talks on the situation on the China-India border, and finally reached a five-point consensus.
"The focus was on managing differences and containing the expansion of the conflict, and in the end, the Indian army was forced to retreat, temporarily abandoning the idea of taking control of the Rechin Pass."
In the Ladakh region in the western section of the Sino-Indian border, the Indian army has deployed the 14th Army all year round, which has the 8th Mountain Division, the 70th Brigade, the 114th Brigade, and the 81st Mountain Brigade.
The 118th Independent Infantry Brigade, the 14th Independent Armored Brigade, the 254th Independent Armored Brigade, the 14th Artillery Brigade, and 2 Army Aviation Squadrons have a huge strength of about 60,000 people.
On February 10, 2021, the front-line troops of the Chinese and Indian armies on the north and south banks of Pangong Lake began to disengage in a planned and organized manner at the same time, and the situation eased.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has dismantled all facilities and fortifications in the disputed area covering the entire north bank.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has withdrawn about 30 artillery pieces and 4,000 to 5,000 soldiers from the area on the northern shore of Pangong Lake.
At least 130 to 140 tanks, 30 artillery pieces, and no less than 2,000 soldiers were withdrawn from the south bank area.
It is said that the plan of the Indian army at that time was that in view of the infantry Type 88 main battle tanks deployed by the PLA on the front line, they could not effectively oppose the T-90S main battle tanks driven by the Indian army.
【PLA Exercise】
They expected that the heavy composite brigades in the rear of the PLA would find it difficult to assemble and rise to the top in time because of the long time they had been preparing for combat.
Therefore, before the arrival of the PLA heavy main battle tanks, suddenly take the initiative! Complete the battle plan!
In a vain attempt to quickly retreat, the limited border defense forces of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) intended to take the opportunity to build permanent or semi-permanent fortifications after the occupation, but our army was not fully prepared at that time.
"This time, it is very likely that the Indian army will succeed!"
However, the 99A main battle tank of our army came too quickly, and the India T-90S tank has been unable to play its role.
This is the main reason why the Indian army did not dare to fire directly! They are scared, afraid of losing again! ”
"No one has the determination to make such a bet!"
The fact is that India are scared out of a cold sweat!
It turned out that it was not until the Chinese and Indian armies reached a withdrawal agreement that the Indian army discovered that a large number of 99A tanks and other heavy firepower equipment were deployed behind the PLA positions.
Moreover, several J-20 fighters and H-6 bombers have already been deployed at several nearby airports in Xinjiang.
【PLA Unmanned Combat Vehicle】
The Xinjiang Military Region is an operational unit at the level of a deputy large military region facing the two important strategic directions of the northwest and southwest.
The composite divisions under the jurisdiction of the Xinjiang Military Region are larger and have stronger combat strength than the composite brigades under the group army of our army.
The Xinjiang Military Region also has artillery brigades, army aviation brigades, special operations brigades, air defense brigades, intelligence and reconnaissance brigades, and other combat units directly under its jurisdiction, with no less than tens of thousands of combat units under its jurisdiction.
It is worth mentioning that the plateau performance of the 99A heavy main battle tank and the Type 15 tank is much higher than that of various types of main battle tanks before the 96A of our army.
In particular, the Type 15 light main battle tank is a main equipment specially built by our army for plateau operations.
Moreover, priority was given to equipping the synthetic divisions of the Xinjiang Military District!
In the western section of the Sino-Indian border, the plateaus and mountains are mostly more than 4,000 meters, and the terrain is relatively complex, mostly plateaus and mountains.
At the same time, the thin air caused the combat effectiveness of normal tanks in the plateau area to plummet, the speed could not be improved, the shooting accuracy decreased significantly, and the failure rate increased.
"The firepower of the Type 15 light main battle tank is indeed not as good as the T-90S of the Indian army, but it can't go up to the plateau if it can beat it, and those who can go to the plateau can't beat it!"
Therefore, the advent of the Type 15 light main battle tank has made a qualitative leap forward in our army's combat capability in the plateau area.
[Long-range strike force]
The combat effectiveness of the Indian army's T-90S main battle tank in the plateau area is much lower than that of our army's Type 15 tank.
"On the battlefield in the western section of the Sino-Indian border, the general terrain is a narrow area, and a small number of Type 15 tanks and 99A tanks can effectively suppress and deter the Indian army."
After the battle in the Galwan Valley, as the conflict gradually escalated, our army quickly deployed 140 Type 15 light tanks and more than 100 Type 99A main battle tanks to the front line.
At the same time, fortifications have been erected and field hospitals have been built, and the number of troops has reached the largest scale since 1962.
If the war really starts, in addition to the timely support of the Xinjiang Military Region, the 77th Group Army and the 76th Group Army of the Western Theater of the People's Liberation Army, as well as the heavily armed mountain composite brigade under their jurisdiction, will quickly support the combat units on the front line of the Sino-Indian border.
If the war gets out of control and continues to escalate, in an emergency, the PLA's follow-up combat forces will be able to assemble on the Sino-Indian border in a very short time.
Together with the long-range fire support of the aviation units and the rocket forces, the reserve military forces of the PLA have absolute superiority and can ensure the stability of the situation on the Sino-Indian border.
【Heavy Synthetic Brigade】
epilogue
"Four years ago, in August, on the last night, there was almost an exchange of fire in the Rechin Pass in eastern Ladakh!"
"There are some 'regrets', the officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army waited for the day that night, who knew that the Indian army was instigated, otherwise it would be a fiasco!"
