In the counter-attack following the killing of their commanding officer Colonel B Santosh Babu by Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) troops in Ladakh's Galwan valley, the jawans of 16 Bihar regiment, using the most "primitive fighting methods", snapped the necks of at least 18 PLA troops and smashed their faces beyond recognition, reports Deccan Chronicle.
The jawans of 16 Bihar were reportedly joined by the 'Ghatak' troops. Together, they "unleashed a reign of terror, unheard in modern military history", the report said.
The PLA had a tough time handling the bodies of its soldiers, many of whose limbs were broken or severed, the report said citing inputs gathered from multiple sources.
Bodies of the slain PLA soldiers were scattered all over the ridge and nearby gorge.
According to the report, the "primitive fighting methods" by the Indian soldiers using stones, bayonets and sticks suggest they were merciless in their attack the moment their commanding officer fell.
Launching a counterattack, 60 Indian troops charged towards the PLA personnel.
As the word spread about Colonel's death, the 16 Bihar men were said to have joined by the Ghatak troops.
The Ghatak commandoes are experts in close-quarter battle and spearhead assaults ahead of the battallion, the report said.
Both, 16 Bihar men and Ghatak troops together chased down at least 18 PLA troops.
"Some had their necks dangling from their bodies, while those whose faces were smashed with stones were beyond recognition," sources were quoted in the report as saying.
The sources further said that Indian troops too were attacked brutally but the counter-attack by Indian soldiers was as brutal as it could get.
As they Avenged the death of their CO, the soldiers were chanting war-cries, they added.
The attack and counter-attack went on for over four hours. Few Indian troops snatched swords and rods from Chinese soldiers and used them against the enemy.
According to the sources quoted in the report, many PLA troops tried to escape and were chased by Indian soldiers. However, the chasing Indian troops ended up in PLA custody as their numbers multiplied.
These soldiers were among those who were released on Friday (19 June), the report said.
Don’t mess with Gurkha’s or India.
You snap your fingers, you snap your neck.
We’ll need lots of those troops come November & December...
You know what they say about Chinese soldiers.
You smash their face...an hour later you’re ready to do it again.
Indians are tough people. Their wrestlers are incredible. They are built well for the fight.
So much for kung fu skills they show in the chinese army training videos.
This is the sort of battle one would expect to read about in thick, dusty history books. Something year 300 AD. You wouldn’t think such primitive, Cave Man type methods would be employed in the 21st Century, but here we are. All for the domination of land area.
We’ll need lots of those troops come November & December...
I hope you are wrong and calm and common sense will prevail but I also realize that this is just wishful thinking, as the thought had crossed my mind when Trump gets re-elected, and I hope and pray he does” it may just infuriate the left even further, causing more mayhem.
Have the know it alls at the UN given their opinion about this?
Ayo Gorkhali! Here come the Gurkhas!
The war cry of the Nepalese Gurkha regiment in the British Army sure to cause terror in the hearts of the unfortunate enemies about to be slaughtered with the Gurkha kukri blades.
Yup.
And then they celebrated their Victory with some Ice Cold Slurpees.
Chinese soldiers are often time servers, with very little interest in training. It’s price of mandatory service.
Gun free zone I guess.
‘Ghatak’ troops are not Gurkha’s
A Ghatak Platoon, or Ghatak Commandos, is a reconnaissance platoon that is present in every infantry battalion in the Indian Army. Ghatak is a Hindi word meaning “killer” or “lethal”. Their name was given to them by Gen. Bipin Chandra Joshi. They act as shock troops and spearhead assaults ahead of the battalion
Their operational role is similar to Scout Sniper Platoons and STA platoons of the US Marine Corps,the Commando platoons of the British Army, Ranger Regiments of the US Army and the Commando Ranger Regiments of the Republic of Korea Army. They can also be referred to as Special Forces units especially Special Operations Forces
