The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) was shocked, very scared and panicking after Indian Army responded to its unprovoked and pre-planned attack in Eastern Ladakh's Galwan valley.
As reported by the Sunday Guardian, the 10 Indian Army men including two majors who spent two days in Chinese captivity revealed during debriefing that the PLA forces were "in a state of shock and fear" after witnessing Indian Army's sheer fighting force during the battle.
"They were very scared during the time our men were in their captivity. They had witnessed raw fighting spirit just hours before, as executed by a few of our men and the Chinese soldiers were anticipating the same treatment from a much larger number of our men in the next few hours", an official was quoted as saying.
The official goes on to say that the Chinese troops were horrified after Indian Army inflicted a serious number casualties despite being outnumbered during the attack.
The debriefed Indian Army personnel who were in high-spirits revealed that the troops chose to grab improvised weapons and chase down the Chinese despite being outnumbered.
The men went after the Chinese into their controlled area with an intention to kill PLA personnel as a retribution against the killing of Commanding Officer Colonel Santosh Babu.
The report adds that the Chinese forces even began fleeing after witnessing the Indian attack.
"The Chinese soldiers, seeing the unexpected attack from our men, started fleeing and running back to their area...", says the report.
