How horrible is the PLA in India's eyes?

It's not terror but awe. We fought the wrong war at the wrong time and place. "MacArthur's personal experience made him feel awe of the Chinese army.

In p>1962, during the Sino-Indian War, a reporter visited MacArthur, the former commander of the US Far East Army. He said, "Whoever wants to fight the Chinese army must be sick." MacArthur was known as the king of the Far East before the Korean War, but in the Korean War, his military career was smeared with a strong ink, and he was replaced as commander of the Far East.

At that time, the Indian government urgently accepted a full set of weapons assistance from 13 army divisions and 2 air divisions of the Soviet Union. As the Washington military at that time, due to the embarrassing result of the Korean War, it was urgent to win a war against China in the military field. At the same time, in order to further expand the "dominant" position of the United States in the strategic position of Central Asia. Therefore, on the third day of Soviet aid, the' Asian Military Development Situation Committee' was formed by NATO members such as Britain and the United States. Decided to aid India with all the American equipment of 18 infantry brigades. Some of the equipment came from British surplus military supplies during World War II.

With the joint support of the United States and the Soviet Union, and with the help of Soviet military consultants and experts, the Indian armed forces were personally trained. These made Nehru, the head of India at that time, have the terrible idea of' super Asian'. Just as the rebellion of Tibetan serf owners, which lasted for three years in China, subsided, border riots broke out in Xinjiang in April. At this time, Sino-Soviet relations had actually broken down, and China and the United States continued to be seriously opposed because of the problems in Taiwan Province and Viet Nam. Therefore, Nehru tore up the "Non-aggression Treaty on Peaceful Borders" signed with China that year. With three' ace' main brigades as the advance, they crossed the' McMahon Line' and carried out armed invasion of China in Tibet and Qinghai.

In the early days, only a few border guards were stationed in China. The total strength is about 2-3 companies with less than 5 people. India's first brigade, which arrived in advance, is the main brigade with 6 people. China began to gradually lose many outposts (although some of the main outposts were abandoned by China people themselves).

The Beijing government warned the Indian government many times at that time. However, Indians are extremely arrogant under the trend of' Europe and America+Soviet Union's arms aid', and' China people dare not strike back' has always been Nehru's mantra before the war.

Therefore, China's great man Mao Zedong decisively ordered China's army to carry out a' lesson-based' attack on India. Immediately, China's army began to deploy at an alarming rate. In just 12 days, the China Army assembled an army (18th Army, about 3, people). And guided three brigades of the Indian army into the ambush positions preset by the China army. Quickly wiped out most of one of the brigades. The rest of the Indian troops began to retreat. A quick detachment of China's army crossed the snow-capped mountain which was impossible to cross (the battle time was cleverly controlled after the flood period of major rivers on the battlefield and before the mountain was closed by heavy snow in December), and stopped the retreat of the Indian army in the glacial valley with extremely cold climate.

At this time, the Indian army was still trapped in the encirclement of the China army. Faced with such a situation, its commander didn't give an immediate blow when China's quick detachment intercepted his back. But mistakenly believe that we can rely on the great superior firepower of brand-new Soviet-American equipment to carry out anti-assault and anti-encirclement. A major officer of the Indian army telegraphed to his family at home, saying: We can completely defeat all China's troops by relying on advanced weapons.

However, Brigadier General Richard Andrews, an American military expert stationed in India at that time, declared that this was the' beginning of a war of annihilation' in China. We have learned this technique many times in the Korean War.

The Indian military supply line to the front was completely cut off by the China army. The soldiers began to be scattered in a large area when they were fighting for food. Immediately, China's army seized the powerful fighter plane and began to launch a "China-style" annihilation war. Just eight hours. India's two main forces, known as the' East Asia 1 and 2 Brigade', were completely annihilated.

At this time, the China army continued to advance. Its advance troops are close to 5 kilometers outside the Indian capital New Delhi. It went deep into India for 212 kilometers. However, at this time, the China administration made a decision that surprised the Indians, and China's army began to retreat quickly. China officially announced in the later period that the Sino-Indian self-defense war was over. Moreover, China returned 3,968 prisoners of war, including Brigadier General Darvi of the 7th Brigade of the Indian Army, and all the weapons and equipment captured by the Indian army.

In the whole self-defense counterattack, the China army annihilated three Indian brigades (the 7th brigade, the 62nd brigade and the 4th artillery brigade), basically annihilated three Indian brigades (the 112th brigade, the 48th brigade and the 65th brigade), and annihilated one Indian brigade, the 67th brigade, the 114th brigade and the 129th brigade respectively, killing the 62nd Indian brigade. China's border guards were killed 722 people (including 82 officers and 64 soldiers) and injured 1697 people (including 173 officers and 1524 soldiers). The casualty ratio between China and India is 1: 6.

This war shattered India's' forward policy' in one fell swoop, and maintained a peaceful situation on the Sino-Indian border for 5 years, exceeding the estimate of' one war for 3 years' at that time. The most important thing is that China's army defeated India supported by NATO and Warsaw Pact, the two most powerful military camps in the world at that time. This is impossible for any country, even under the current advanced conditions.

The Press Records Bureau of the Associated Press of the United States has filmed some little-known information films about some local wars between China and India filmed by American war correspondents in India. Although, at that time, the United States and the Soviet Union were in the Cold War. However, the United States and the Soviet Union, as the two major military powers with the background of India, also made a careful analysis and enjoyed the information in secret. Therefore, in fact, that war can be said to be in an absolute disadvantage situation of 1: 3 in China. On the surface, China won against India. However, the fact is that winning India is equivalent to China defeating the two major military world powers of the United States and the Soviet Union at that time.

Howard Benjamin, the former stationed official of the US Far East Intelligence Military Center, commented on the war like this: "It was the stupidest war in India. At that time, the Indian government urgently accepted a full set of weapons system assistance from 13 army divisions and 2 air force divisions of the former Soviet Union. As the military in Washington at that time, the embarrassing result of the "Sino-US-Korea War" urgently needed to win a war against China in the military field. In this war, China defeated India, which was supported by NATO and the Warsaw Pact, with its own strength. In other words, China defeated the military actions of the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, at the same time.
