去年6月中印边境冲突 中国官媒首披露有四名军人牺牲

去年6月,中国与印度军队在加勒万河谷(Galwan valley)到班公错一带,陷入紧张对峙,中国官方媒体首次披露,在冲突中中方有四位军人牺牲,一人重伤。 根据中央广播电视总台《国防时空》报导,隶属新疆军区某边防团的团长祁发宝,被中国军方授予“卫国戍边英雄团长”荣誉称号,追授营长陈红军“卫国戍边英雄”荣誉称号,给士兵陈祥榕、肖思远、王焯冉追记一等功。 报导指责2020年4月开始,“有关外军”违反两国协议协定,抵边越线搭建便桥、修道路,频繁在边境越线争控,试图单方面改变边境管控现状,导致局势升温。 文中也提及去年6月“外军”违背共识“越线挑衅”。团长祁发宝,本着谈判解决问题的诚意,仅带几名士兵去交涉,“却遭对方蓄谋暴力攻击。” 在激烈冲突中,祁发宝身负重伤;营长陈红军、士兵陈祥榕、肖思远、王焯冉牺牲。 去年印方曾表示,双方没有发生枪击事件,而是激烈肢体冲突,印方在冲突中丧失三名士兵,包括一名上校。 近日中印军队开始脱离接触,结束长达8个多月的军事对峙。
