It is reported that since the straight-line distance between the Penghu Islands is only 44 kilometers away from Chiayi County, Tai Island, this action has triggered the interpretation of the significance of military operations by all parties. The outside world believes that the PLA military aircraft overlooking the Penghu Islands highlights its firm attitude to defend the country's territorial integrity and sovereign interests. The PLA military aircraft penetrated deep into the airspace around the southwest of Taiwan, which means that normalized military cruise activities are becoming increasingly in-depth.
Analysts pointed out that the Penghu Islands are the strategic location closest to the island on the west coast of Taiwan. It is located in the southeastern position of the so-called "middle-line of the strait". Historically, it has been the main geographical barrier that guards the southwest region of Tai Island. Since the Ming Dynasty, all wars that have occurred around Taiwan, whether it is domestic conflicts, or aggression between China and foreign countries and anti-aggression wars, as long as a large-scale maritime war occurs, Penghu, as a military fortress, will become a place that military strategists must fight for. Analysts believe that in fact, the Penghu Islands have neither dangerous to defend nor sufficient strategic resources, and the formation of its strategic position is mainly due to its maritime transportation hub.
Penghu Islands consist of 64 islands of all sizes and sizes. Because of the low and continuous mountains, it looks like a seagull in the ocean waves from afar. The Penghu islands are widely distributed, ranging from Qimeiyu at the southern end to Mudouyu at the northern end, which is about 60 kilometers long. From Cha'ou Island to the east to Huayu on the west edge, it is about 40 kilometers wide. From Penghu to the north, you can reach Mazu Island and Dachen Island, and go south directly to the sea outside Kaohsiung Port and Tainan Port.
analysis believes that using Penghu as a springboard, you can easily land on the coasts of Yunlin County, Nantou County, Chiayi County and Tainan City in the southern part of Taidao. This area is actually the biggest loophole of the "Taiwan Army". In the past, the island's defense forces were mostly concentrated in areas around Taipei, or in the northern part of Taichung New Taipei. As long as the Penghu was controlled, it was actually equivalent to opening the door to the Tai Island.
analysis believes that the PLA fighter jets entered the relevant airspace of Penghu County, which first proved that the so-called central line of the strait has "disappeared". Penghu is less than 150 kilometers away from the coast of Fujian Province in mainland China. In other words, the PLA fighter jets have entered the so-called central line at least 40 kilometers. The "Taiwan Army" can only watch the PLA fighter jets penetrate deeper, but dare not step beyond the line. The momentum has been lost, and Penghu, as the decisive battle point and ancient battlefield for many island-taking operations in history, the important meaning of this operation is self-evident, and it sounded the death knell for the Tsai administration.
