The Battle of Cho La

The PLA hadn’t expected India to open up with such incessant artillery pounding that inflicted heavy damage on the defences in their forward post at Nathu La. Unused to losing at the hands of Indians, a stunned PLA was smarting from the sudden setback. Due to the conflict at Nathu La the entire Sikkim–China border turned more vigilant and tense. Defences were strengthened across several locations on the Indian side for any possible flare-up.

7/11 Gorkha Rifles led by K.B. Joshi had spent two years in the area, with the last a few months being behind Nathu La, a little distance away from the line of action. Young officers and soldiers, in the reserves to be called up to support action at the border if needed, kept track of the action at Nathu La and kept themselves ready for deployment.
