Chapter 634 Return to City 49
Similar things happened at two adjacent outposts in the Chumbi River Valley, and what disappeared were not just one or two boundary markers, but all of them, more than 800.
The border fighters immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
This was most likely done by Asan, who was obviously looking for trouble!
As a result, the matter soon alarmed the superiors, and when the search for the boundary marker failed, the officials immediately sought negotiations with the three neighboring countries.
However, the answer obtained surprised the officials.
I don't know~
It was not until the fifth day that Asan angrily questioned that more than 800 boundary markers appeared in the Siliguri Corridor, 75 kilometers south of the original border line, and on par with the southern border line of Nepal and Bhutan.
Please give me a reasonable explanation.
Explain your sister, didn’t we ask you this before?
We don't know who did it yet. Could you please help us return it? If not, we will send a car to get it back.
To the border guards, this is not a problem.
No matter who moved the boundary marker, just move it back.
Very simple!
When Ah San heard this, everyone from top to bottom gnashed their teeth.
If I can pay it back, I still want you to say it!
Buried among the more than 800 boundary markers are countless landmines, grenades, and artillery shells that explode at the slightest touch.
Don't ask why you know.
Anyway, we have already lost more than a dozen engineers.
Asan is still investigating the whereabouts of the equipment lost by the mountain division stationed here.
And who buried so many bombs and mines there?
In this regard, our country can only say that it is powerless. First, we really don't know. Second, this belongs to the internal affairs of other countries, and our consistent policy is not to get involved.
What's more, we lost more than 800 boundary markers, which is a considerable loss.
However, Asan was very anxious.
If the corridor cannot be opened, it is equivalent to the six northeastern states being separated from Bangladesh by boundary markers, becoming an isolated island. They were already clamoring for independence, and now it is simply adding wings to a tiger.
The importance of the Siliguri Corridor is unquestionable.
Reoccupation is imminent.
So, India assembled a large number of troops and carried out carpet bombing on the corridor.
After a day and night of sweeping, they finally retook the corridor.
However, on the morning of the second day after they occupied the area, the Indian mountain division found that their camp, and even the center, was once again surrounded by mines, grenades, and artillery shells that exploded at the slightest touch.
Even walking around the camp could cause a series of explosions.
The mountain division of 12,000 men lost nearly 3,000 men before breaking out of the encirclement.
Helplessly, the Indians could only bombard again and station there again.
No matter how dedicated the sentry was, or how bright the lights were at night, the same thing happened again.
There is a characteristic of India: almost all the people are fanatical believers of religion and are accustomed to accepting things as they are given.
Without any encouragement from others, the military and the public spread the rumor that this was a punishment from Indra (the Hindu God) against them.
It's impossible to get in, I'd never get in no matter what.
Put your hands together and keep begging.
Soldiers ask their NCOs not to give orders, and NCOs ask their leaders to believe in the existence of God, otherwise the soldiers will rebel.
While Asan was still considering whether to carry out another carpet bombing, Wang Tiedan bid farewell to his ten-day mountain life and left Yadong County.
Life on the plateau is indeed not easy. It is hot during the day, cold at night, and the air is thin.
Fortunately, Wang Tiedan has a space. He rides a horse to travel during the day and goes into the space to sleep at night. If he encounters a bear, he will fight it. If he encounters a wolf, he will fight it. He is not polite at all.
After ten days of stopping and walking, we finally arrived in Lhasa.
After resting for three days, he sent a telegram, adjusted his plan, and headed towards Chengdu.
This journey lasted more than twenty days.
Wang Tiedan was almost mistaken for a savage.
After resting here for three days, Wang Tiedan took great pains to successfully check in the two horses and boarded the train home.
Five days later, Wang Tiedan finally stepped on the land of Sijiu City again.
When I left, it was still spring here, but now, everyone passing by is wearing short sleeves.
When Wang Tiedan appeared in Nanluoguxiang riding a big horse and leading a small horse, it immediately caused a small-scale shock.
Because I almost didn't recognize it.
He disappeared for two months and came back looking like a charcoal-haired man. The change is quite big.
If he hadn't been riding a tall horse with shiny fur, I would have thought that Wang Tiedan was going to dig coal.
"You were out for two months digging coal. How come you are so dark?"
Mother rubbed Wang Tiedan's face, feeling both distressed and disgusted.
Grandma and Qin Jingru were smiling happily, as long as they were fine.
My dad rode his big horse around the yard several times, and suddenly he felt that the sidecar wasn't so appealing anymore.
"You will get darker if you stay in southern Tibet for two months. There is scorching sun every day and there is not even a shade from trees. How can you not get darker?" Wang Tiedan explained.
"It's not right that the sun is so strong. Farmers work in the fields every year to make a living, but they don't get as tanned as you!"
"The sun is strong over there, I'll be able to cover myself up in a few days."
Wang Tiedan felt that it was difficult to explain the ultraviolet rays.
"Black dots are good. Black dots make people look strong, which is good~" Grandma said with a smile, not feeling disgusted at all.
"Grandma is right!"
"Why did you go to southern Tibet? It's so far away? You left in such a hurry, and you were gone for two months?"
"Nothing, I just went to see Dahan. He had a conflict with someone at the border. The medical conditions there are poor. Dahan asked me to go over and give some medicine to his comrade."
"Are we going to fight those Indians again?" Dad suddenly asked.
"They said they almost got into a fight."
"Hey, those bastards only care about the food and not the beating. In my opinion, we shouldn't have retreated last time. We beat him hard at once." Dad was still a little indignant.
Wang Tiedan didn't want to say more about this matter and quickly changed the subject.
"Hey, where's my sister? Did she give birth to a nephew or niece for me?"
Wang Tiedan changed his clothes, picked up Jinbao and lay down on the recliner under the shade of the tree, feeling comfortable all over.
"After finishing the confinement period, I returned home and gave birth to a nephew. He was born with a head of yellow hair, so I gave him the nickname Maomao."
Speaking of this, the whole family was happy.
Wang Tiedan instantly thought of the hairdresser and hairdresser combination in later generations. He hoped that his nephew would not grow up like that.
"Hello nephew, he must be a naughty boy again."
"That's right~ It really makes me tired every day. The amount of shopping is simply outrageous." Mom said with a smile.
"So nothing has happened at home recently, right?" Wang Tiedan asked again.
"Besides your sister's confinement, there's nothing else to do. A few people came to ask for medicinal wine, but when they saw you weren't home, they left. There were also people from the army who came, but when they saw you weren't back, they left too."
"Who is it from the army?"
"I don't know. I didn't say."
"Okay~"
Wang Tiedan coaxed Jinbao, chatted with him for a while, and then stood up from the recliner.
"I'll go check on Second Master!"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Tiedan heard the sound of children laughing coming from far away, and then rushing in from behind the screen wall.
"Third uncle~"
"Brother Tiedan~"
A group of children were about to rush towards Wang Tiedan, but were instantly attracted by the pony in the yard and hurriedly changed direction.
"Ahh, there really is a pony. I want to ride it."
"I want to ride too~"
