主题：【整理】中印本场冲突实况 -- 拿不准

今天印度媒体News18有了一篇采访了解印度政府官员的报道，报道中称这位印度政府官员熟悉收治在莱赫的医院（hospitals in Leh）印度官兵的情况，他向News18转述了印军幸存者们（原文如此，使用的是survivors一词）对于实控线附近冲突的叙述。

News18的报道

本篇文章翻译摘录如下：

1) 本场冲突一共持续了八小时。解放军手持铁棒和用铁丝网包裹的警棍（狼牙棒？？？）Furious hand-to-hand fighting raged across the Galwan river valley for over eight hours on Monday night, as People’s Liberation Army assault teams armed with iron rods as well as batons wrapped in barbed wire hunted down and slaughtered troops of the 16 Bihar Regiment, a senior government official familiar with the debriefing of survivors at hospitals in Leh has told News18.周一晚上，当解放军的突击队手持铁棒和用铁丝网包裹的警棍追捕和slaughtered （不懂请查字典）比哈尔邦第16团（16 Bihar Regiment）的部队时，激烈的肉搏战在加尔旺河谷持续了8个多小时，一位熟悉在莱赫的医院幸存者情况的政府高级官员告诉News18。

2) 至少有23名印军在冲突中丧生，其中包括比哈尔邦第16团的指挥官桑托什·巴布（Santosh Babu）上校。

The savage combat, with few parallels in the history of modern armies, is confirmed to have claimed the lives of at least 23 Indian soldiers, including 16 Bihar’s commanding officer, Colonel Santosh Babu, many because of protracted exposure to sub-zero temperatures the Indian Army said late on Tuesday.这场野蛮的战斗在现代军队的历史上几乎没有相同的案例，据证实已经夺去了至少23名印度士兵的生命，其中包括比哈尔邦第16团的指挥官桑托什·巴布（Santosh Babu）上校，这么多的伤亡是因为他们长期暴露在零度以下的低温，印度军队周二晚些时候说。

3) 说是冲突，基本上是解放军追着印军漫山遍野跑，还有印军慌不择路跳河被淹死的。“Even unarmed men who fled into the hillsides were hunted down and killed,” one officer said. “The dead include men who jumped into the Galwan river in a desperate effort to escape.”

一名官员说：“即使是逃到山坡上的没有武器的人也会被追捕。”。“死者包括跳入加尔旺河拼命逃跑的士兵。”

4) 目前还有24名印军重伤，超过110人受伤。

Government sources say at least another two dozen soldiers are battling life-threatening injuries, and over 110 have needed treatment. “The toll will likely go up,” a military officer with knowledge of the issue said.

政府消息人士说，至少还有24名士兵正在与危及生命的伤势搏斗，超过110人需要治疗。一名了解此事的军官说：“死亡人数可能会上升。”。

5) 冲突的起因是印军越过实控线烧毁了解放军搭建的帐篷。

The fighting at Galwan, News18 had first reported on Tuesday, began after troops under Colonel Babu’s command dismantled a Chinese tent sent up near a position code-named Patrol Point 14, close to the mouth of the Galwan river. The tent had been dismantled following a meeting between Lieutenant General Harinder Singh, who commands the Leh-based XIV Corps, and Major-General Lin Liu, the head of the Xinjiang military district

据News18日报道，加尔旺的战斗是在巴布上校指挥的部队拆除了一个中国帐篷后开始的，这个帐篷是在加尔旺河口附近一个代号为“14号巡逻点”的位置附近搭建的。这座帐篷是在总部位于莱赫的第十四军团指挥官哈林德·辛格中将和新疆军区司令林刘少将会晤后拆除的

6) 解放军占据高处有利地势向下投掷石块，而印军没有还手之力。

Large rocks were also thrown towards the Indian positions by Chinese troops stationed on the high ridge above Point 14, one source said. Though some fought back using the improvised weapons carried by the PLA, most had no means of defence.

一位消息人士说，驻扎在14号巡逻点高山脊上的中国军队向印度阵地投掷了大量石块。尽管有些人使用携带的简易武器进行反击，但大多数人没有防御手段。

看了这些描述后，整场冲突的轮廓基本显现了出来。如果这篇报告的内容属实，那么可以看出印军基本上是被解放军追得漫山遍野乱窜、毫无还手之力了。
