As we all know, in September 1962, China and India had a war that lasted for a month in the border area. We have done several videos about this war before, and interested friends can check it out. After two stages of fighting between China and India in this war, our border guards swept the Indian army with the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves and approached the Indian capital New Delhi.
1962 Sino-Indian border battle: a battle to capture prisoners in a game
I believe that many people know this history well, but few people know it. Only five years after the end of this war, that is, in 1967, the Indian army once again extended its magic claws to our country. Of course, the ending remains the same. The Indian army was rubbed on the ground by our army. Today, let’s talk about the 1967 Nathula Pass and Zola Pass’s counterattack against India.
After the Sino-Indian border war in 1962, China and India have never reached an agreement on the border issue. The Indian side is still very greedy for territorial claims, but it is not as arrogant and aggressive as it was before the war. Small actions in the border area have also begun to become cautious. But this is not to say that India has made concessions to its territorial claims. In fact, India has always regarded the defeat in 1962 as a great shame, and has been deliberately trying to regain the face they lost before through another war.
Therefore, after the Sino-Indian War ended in 1962, India continued to increase its military strength to the border on the one hand, and on the other hand began large-scale requests for military assistance from major powers such as the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union. By 1967, the number of Indian troops stationed on the Sino-Indian border was twice as much as in 1962.
Not only that, in order to adapt to mountain operations, and in accordance with the characteristics of our army's mountain operations, the Indian army has specially formed 7 mountain divisions. This unit is very mobile and equipped with more advanced artillery, and its attack power can be described as quite powerful. Moreover, this unit is not only equipped with hundreds of transport trucks with good off-road performance, but also an additional animal transport team and footman team of more than 1,000 mules. Compared with 62 years, the logistical support capability has also improved a lot.
The Chinese border guards have withdrawn from the east and west sections of the Sino-Indian border since 1963, and implemented a disengagement isolation policy. In this way, the only border between China and India in direct contact is the border between China and Sikkim .
In 1967, the Indian mechanized unit
In 1950, India and Tin signed the "India-Sikkim Peace Treaty." Before the handwriting of the treaty was dry, the Indian army rushed into Sikkim and took control of all major traffic routes in Sikkim. At this time, India's independence was only three years away.
The former victims of British colonialism, but now it is difficult to hide his intention to replace them. This shows that India has a deep understanding of the british colonists’ robbery skills in the past. So far, the China-Sinoban border is essentially the China-India border. The Nathu La Pass, where the Sino-Indian conflict broke out again in 1967, happened to be located on the side of , Yadong County, , an important town on the border between China and Tin.
Geographical location of Sikkim
In 1962, the Indian army was defeated. This incident gave Nehru a great excitement. The whole country of India fell into a state of frantic preparation for war. By 1963, India’s military expenditures accounted for 46% of the country’s total expenditures. This crazy practice as long as the shells don’t need butter can not help but remind people of Germany under the rule of Hitler .
After the China-India border war in 1962, India was frantically preparing for war. The picture shows an Indian rural woman receiving military training.
Not only that, India also promoted itself as a victim through various media in an attempt to whitewash itself. . By 1966, India had regained their inexplicable self-confidence and felt that they had the ability to wash away the shame of 62 years. Frequent incidents began again at the Nathu La Pass, which provoked military conflicts, and continued to invade our country from the Nathu La Pass to build fortifications and move boundary markers.

In 1967 alone, there were 178 invasions, especially after August, the aggression of the Indian army became more arrogant. The 112 brigade of the 117th Division of the Indian Mountain Division in Sikkim repeatedly forcibly set up barbed wire across the border at the Nathu La Pass.On September 7, the Indian army, ignoring our army's serious warning, once again set up barbed wire across the border. Not only that, the Indian army also stabbed two soldiers of our army, which can be described as arrogant to the extreme.
In the early morning of the 11th, Yadav, a battalion commander of the 112th Brigade of the Indian Army, led more than 100 troops to invade our territory again and set up a barbed wire fence. At 8:7, the enemy fired at the forward position of our army and threw a grenade. Our army killed 1 person and injured 6 people on the spot.
Our officers and soldiers who had endured for more than half a year resolutely fought back in self-defense when the enemy fired the first shot. The battle lasted only 7 minutes. Our army killed 57 enemy troops. Lieutenant Colonel Yadav led the remaining soldiers and fled. Our commander did not choose to cross the border to pursue the enemy, but ordered to continue fighting. In case the enemy fights back again.

At 8:15, the 17th Brigade of the enemy artillery began to shell our positions, and we immediately concentrated our superior firepower on the enemy positions. . With our strong firepower output, the Indian army was forced to stop the artillery on the 13th. Our army also stopped the artillery bombardment under the instruction of Premier Zhou "The enemy will stop firing artillery, and I will stop the bombardment".
This artillery battle lasted 4 days and 3 nights. Our army shelled 21 targets of the Indian army, suppressed 8 enemy artillery positions, 2 observation posts, 2 command posts, destroyed 23 Indian military fortifications, destroyed 2 cars, and wiped out more than 550 enemies.
In the self-defense counterattack at the Nathula Pass, our army killed 607 Indian soldiers and killed 123 casualties. Moreover, the battle was fought rationally, favorably, and well, forcing the Indian army to come to our territory under a white flag after the war to receive us and hand over the invading Indian army’s corpses and captured weapons and ammunition to the Indian side, and the Indian army is handing over. The book was signed, acknowledging the aggression.

However, it is ridiculous that Lieutenant Colonel Yadav, who had fled back to China, had a cheeky start to brag about himself. Military exploits,The original defeated generals have been regarded as "heroes" by India to this day, and in 2018, Yadav's "heroic deeds" were also put on the screen. The Indians' series of show operations is really incredible.
After the Nathula Pass counterattack, it may be due to the inverted black-and-white propaganda in the Indian domestic media. Therefore, the Indian army soon recovered its inexplicable "self-confidence." On October 1, when our country celebrated the National Day, the Indian Gurkha unit stationed at the Zola Pass at 11:20, an enemy platoon commander led 8 Indian troops to cross the border and provoke them. When the warning was given, he fired a pistol at our army, killing and wounding 2 soldiers of our army on the spot, and shelling our army command post. Our Zola Pass Unit was forced to counterattack and wiped out the invading enemy in our country in one fell swoop. At 7:55 that night, the two sides stopped shelling.
In the battle of Zola Pass, our army killed 37 Indian soldiers and wounded 157 people.
But what is incredible is that after the war, the Indian media turned black and white upside down, saying that India won the victory. Not only did the Indian officials fail to correct their claims, they even held a celebration banquet. It's really ridiculous.
