Chapter 24 Our Tsangnan

  Returning to his own camp, he had just sat down when Cheng Feng suddenly remembered that he didn't know what was going on with Qianqian either. He really was too careless, only paying attention to his own matters and forgetting about Qianqian. If he didn't go visit this little girl now, given her temper, she would probably eat him alive later. So Cheng Feng strode out of the tent, heading towards the Qian family's residence.

  The old man's house was located in the center of the village, a typical Tibetan-style house, similar to that of the old village chief. Due to wartime circumstances, this area had no electricity, and the bright light inside came from their electronic surgical lamps. Before even reaching the door, Cheng Feng saw Lin Yi and Li Jun standing at the entrance.

  "Li Jun, Lin Yi, what's the current situation?" Cheng Feng asked.

  "Commander, Yang Jun has been in there for a long time, it should be fine. This is a normal delivery, she gave birth quickly, nothing should go wrong." Li Jun replied.

  "Li Jun, you'd better hurry back to rest. Yang Junyi and Li Yan are here, and we'll be advancing on Davang early tomorrow morning. It's likely to be a fierce battle," Cheng Feng told Li Jun.

  "Alright, Commander, I'm going back. The supplies we requested have just arrived, and I'll go help Little Zhang prepare them. Otherwise, if we get into a fight tomorrow, we'll be short of everything again and it will be chaotic." After saying that, Li Jun gave Cheng Feng a salute and jogged away.

  "Lin Yi, then you continue to accompany Dr. Yang and the others, call me if there's anything?" Cheng Feng went into the room without making a sound, wanting to leave.

  "Wait a minute, Commander. You can't just leave as soon as you arrive. At least say a few words to Dr. Yang Jun, he doesn't think of you as ordinary." Lin Yi tried to persuade Cheng Feng who was in a hurry to leave.

  "Silly kid, you're not making a move! I'll be back in a bit," said Cheng Feng as he lifted his foot to leave.

  At this moment, the door of the house suddenly opened and a familiar voice came out.

  "Cheng Feng, you're running away again, don't want to see me?" Xian Xian opened the door and walked out with a basin of water.

  "No, I haven't been out for a long time, and there's no news, so I thought I'd go check first, and then come back later." Cheng Feng said with a sly smile, but in fact he had just checked a moment ago.

  "Wind is coming, help me out." Xixi poured the water in her hand away and stretched out her right cheek towards Chengfeng. "Hurry up and scratch for me, I'm itching to death here, I've been disinfected and can't move my hands myself," Xixi said as she leaned her face over.

  "Where?" Feng asked.

  "Here, under the jaw here, hair is poking out, so itchy, hurry up, hurry up" Qianqian urged Chengfeng.

  "Alright, alright, I'll scratch it for you," Cheng Feng replied, extending his hand to scratch under Xian Xian's chin.

  "Is that it? Alright then?"

  "There's none, you help me put this strand of hair back," Xixi said, pointing to the hair that had fallen in front of her.

  "Cheng Feng said, "You little girl are really troublesome", but in his heart he was actually delighted, and stretched out his hand to help Xianxian braid her hair into the hair clip at the back."

  "Alright, alright," said Cheng Feng as he was helping Qianqian with her hair, while Lin Yi chuckled on the side. Suddenly, she thought it wasn't quite right to be like this, especially in front of her subordinate, and wanted to find an excuse to leave.

  "Alright, alright, I won't bother you anymore. Tell me, when will you come find me?" Xixi's big eyes stared at Chengfeng, making his face flush with heat. To be honest, if this were in normal times, Chengfeng would definitely not hesitate and immediately sit down with Xixi to chat and laugh together. But now they were on the battlefield, and Lin Yi was also by their side. So Chengfeng awkwardly said to Xixi...

  "I'll come back later, after the woman has given birth, you get Lin Yi to call me, I'm leaving first."

  "The baby has already been born, it's a girl, the mother and daughter are safe and sound. Isn't this already the end? I'll just check on them for a bit longer, otherwise, it'll be over soon, then I'll come find you." Xixi said happily.

  "Alright, then have Lin Yi accompany you over later." As he spoke, Cheng Feng turned to Lin Yi, then turned around and walked away.

  From his family home to his own tent was not far, and soon Cheng Feng arrived at his residence, where several warriors were waiting for him outside.

  "Comrades, is there something going on?" Cheng Feng asked.

  "Commander, why don't the locals here speak Mandarin, and they seem to be afraid of contacting us, it feels so awkward," a small soldier said.

  "Yes, even the Longs, we gave them canned goods and rice, they didn't dare to accept, forced them to take it but not long after they secretly returned it, I feel wronged." Another little warrior asked.

  "Oh, I see, so everyone is at a loss about these things?" Feng asked with an unresolvable tone.

  "Yes, Comrade Long, this is obviously our territory, only occupied by India. Now we want to recover it and bring them a new life, but why do they treat us like this? They completely regard us as outsiders," said one of the soldiers.

  "Comrade Commander, I know we had already recovered South Tibet in 1962, but why did we give it up again in the end?" another soldier beside Cheng Feng asked.

  "Also, Battalion Commander, if we are to engage in a big battle tomorrow, will these ordinary people support us?"

  "Alright, these questions of yours are not just ours, I think other troops must have them too. Otherwise, I'll tell you the story of Davang. Cheng Feng beckoned to the soldiers who wanted to hear this story to come closer."

  After everyone gathered around him, Cheng Feng began to talk about the situation in Tsangnan.

  "South Tibet refers to the eastern part of the Sino-Indian border, which is where we are now. It was an area that was illegally occupied by India in the last century. The region is located on the south side of the Himalayas, in the Shannan and Nyingchi areas of southeastern Tibet Autonomous Region, including most of the territory of Cona, Longzi, Medog and Chayu counties."

  This region is cut off by the McMahon Line, and according to the maps published in our inland areas, the area of Tawang occupied by India is about 65000 square kilometers. There are less than 900000 people here, with about 750000 in the Tibetan region of China, mostly Monpa, Memba and other ethnic minorities in western Tibet, except for a small number of Indian immigrants.
