  Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu in his famous book “Art of War” wrote way back in 6th vid
century BC that the supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without ghting. It is to his am

Pangong Tso on August 29-30 and repositioned its troops to dominate the heights of Finger 4 Ran
 
spur on the north bank of the lake, the Chinese Army rst tried to militarily muscle the
adversary by moving in tanks and infantry combat vehicles. Rather than be cowed by the PLA
strength, the Indian Army made it clear that there would be retaliation if the red line is
breached on either banks.

9/17/2020 China belts out Punjabi numbers for Indian soldiers at Ladakh. It is a ‘62 trick - india news - Hindustan Times

While the Indian Army was not amused by Chinese military tactics, the military commanders
rolled up in mirth after PLA troops on Finger 4 starting belting out Punjabi numbers to soften
up the adversary into lowering their guard on the ercely contested mountainous spur. If the
north bank of Pangong Tso was jiving to Punjabi songs on PLA loudspeakers, a battery of
loudspeakers were deployed by the Red Army at their Moldo Garrison in Chushul sector to
remind the Indian troops of, what they claim, is the folly of their political masters.

winter

On the southern banks of Pangong Tso, the Chinese loudspeakers told Indian troops in chaste
Hindi about the futility of being deployed at these heights in winter season on the whims and
fancies of Indian politicians back in Delhi. The whole idea of PLA is to pull down the morale of
Indian troops and create dissatisfaction among the soldiers that they do not always get hot
steaming meals and logistics. A snowy winter also lies ahead.

According to a former Indian Army chief, the PLA used the same loudspeaker tactics in 1962
skirmishes in the western and eastern sectors as well during the 1967 Nathu La skirmish. “But
the Indian troops were foxed about the Punjabi songs on Finger 4. Maybe, the PLA thought
that troops from Punjab were holding on to the higher heights of Finger 4 feature,” said the
former army chief.

While the Red Army is using psy-ops at Pangong Tso against the Indian Army, a Chinese
Communist party mouthpiece has also been tweeting its heart out to remind the Indian
political leadership about the loss of face in 1962, the need for India to recover its economy
that, it says, has sunk to abysmal depth and to check the rampant spread of coronavirus in
India without mentioning that the virus originated in Wuhan. The propaganda paper and its
online site also describes the Modi government’s tough stance on the Ladakh friction as a
tactic to divert attention from domestic strife.

Incidentally, the same holds true for Chinese Communist party general secretary Xi Jinping
who initiated PLA aggression in Ladakh to divert attention.
