"Military Martial Plane" Author: Zidian
As our army carried out large-scale exercises around Taiwan, the " Taiwan independence " elements who were quite arrogant a few days ago finally began to deflate. When the missile flew over Taipei, they truly realized that the mainland on the other side of their strait was not the "paper tiger" mentioned by the media, but it was real in reality.
and The role of the Taiwan military in it made the Taiwanese "break the defense" even more. The Taiwan military initially denied that mainland missiles leap Taiwan Island . It was not until Japan's Ministry of Defense disclosed the missile trajectory that Taiwanese people realized that the missile not only leaped Taiwan, but also leaped over Taipei, which also completely broke the credit of the Taiwan military. Many people are questioning: I dare not say that the missiles fly over my head, what is the use of the Taiwan military?
Whether in the past or in the future, our country's attitude towards the Taiwan issue is consistent: adhere to peaceful reunification, but not give up on the unification of force. Alternative options for military unification always exist and may be launched at any time. For the Taiwan military on the other side of the strait, "counterattacking the mainland" is definitely unrealistic, and "resisting unification with force" is probably quite forced.
▲The Taiwan Army in the Hanguang military exercise mainly focused on "showing"
Judging from the Hanguang exercises in recent years, the Taiwan Army is actually quite lax in real-time exercises. Many subjects are mainly based on appearances, with the purpose of showing their "strong firepower" to the people, not to simulate the battlefield environment. Many mainland netizens judged that the Taiwan military was vulnerable and passively prepared for war, and had no combat effectiveness at all. Few people have considered a question: What does the Taiwan Army think about this "battle of defeat"?
External Island Defense
For the Taiwan military, the first line of defense is not Taiwan’s main island, but Taiwan’s “outer island”. In addition to Taiwan Island, there are more than 150 islands controlled by the Taiwan authorities, two-thirds of which are uninhabited islands. The main islands stationed by the Taiwan Army include Kinmen, Mazu Islands, Dongyin Island, Penghu Islands , Dongsha Island , Taiping Island, etc. Among them, the status of Dongyin Island and Penghu Islands is the most important.
▲The Kinmen, which once failed our army, is now just a useless piece of rib
Among the islands stationed by the Taiwan Army, Kinmen is closest to the mainland and is also the forefront of the Taiwan Strait. In the late period of the Liberation War, the People's Liberation Army launched a large-scale landing operation against Kinmen, but suffered heavy losses due to underestimating the enemy. But now, the Taiwan army's defense in Kinmen and Matsu is useless, and it can be said that it can be captured without any effort. Obviously, the Taiwan military has completely given up its defense against the Golden Horse area.
▲ It is this Dongyin Island that burned itself
in the northern part of the strait, and the Taiwan military focused on operating Dongyin Island. There is a battalion of infantry stationed on the Dongyin Island, a large number of "Sky Bow" air defense missiles and "Xiongfeng" anti-ship missiles, as well as an AN/FPS-117 air search radar. The area of Dongyin Island is only 6 square kilometers. It belongs to the Mazu Island geographically, but it does not belong to the Mazu "Defense Command", but is directly under the highest command organization. It can be seen that the Taiwan military attaches great importance to Dongyin Island.
▲AN/FPS-117 radar
Although the Dongyin Island is small in area and the scale of the garrison troops is not large, the terrain is rugged and mainly mountainous, which is very unfavorable to the development of the landing troops. In addition, the island has thousands of garrison troops and solid underground defense facilities, Dongyin Island is undoubtedly a hard nail that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. When Dongyin Island was attacked, the Taiwan Army will send its main naval and air force troops to the nearby airspace to fight a decisive battle with the opponent. In the Taiwanese army's vision, the East Instin Island can defend at least 3 to 7 days, which can delay landing time and give the island's defenders the opportunity to prepare for war and recruit reserves.
▲The heaviest tank on Dongyin Island
is a "battlefield taxi" such as CM-21
Compared with Dongyin Island, the Penghu Islands are closer to Taiwan and have a larger area. Therefore, the Taiwan Army assembled heavy troops in Penghu and deployed complete air-to-air, anti-ship missile and radar facilities. The Taiwan military not only deployed the Xiongfeng 2 and Tiangong missiles in Penghu, but also deployed a squadron of IDF fighter on the island. However, compared with the Dongyin Island with a dangerous terrain, most of the Penghu Islands are gentle beaches, which are very conducive to the attack of landing troops. Although the Taiwan Army's army in Penghu is larger in scale and has reached the brigade level, its equipment is quite backward, mainly M60 tanks, making it difficult to resist landing.
▲The old M60 tank
is also one of the main equipment of the Taiwan army
The defense of the outer island is just a delay for Taiwan, and these islands will sooner or later be lost. But before the war in the outer island ended, it was difficult for landing troops to take the risk of forcing the landing landing. In this process, the Taiwan military's fortifications and airports will face large-scale attacks, but also has a chance to breathe.
Stand to the beach
Although Taiwan is the largest island in China, the terrain on the island is relatively complex, and most areas are not conducive to the development of landing troops. Many netizens proposed to use helicopter three-dimensional landing and other forms to get ashore, but the Taiwan military has superior forces and heavy weapons. The small-scale aerial assault can only increase casualties, which is meaningless. If you want to launch a large-scale attack on Taiwan’s main island, you still have to rely on traditional amphibious landings.
▲This is not called beach defense, this is called targeting
According to the analysis of the Taiwan military, the most suitable landing on the island of Taiwan is the beach near Hsinchu in the north, the alluvial plain near Changhua in the central part of Taiwan, and there are also some areas for landing in southern Taiwan. Among them, Hsinchu Beach is the absolute defense focus of the Taiwan Army, and secondly, the Taiwan Army's heavy army group mainly gathers in these two places.
▲Taiwan Island's terrain is not conducive to large-scale amphibious landing
In the Taiwanese army's vision, when the landing troops approach, the Taiwan army will dispatch aircraft, ships and missile forces to launch strikes on the landing troops, especially prioritizing the attack on amphibious armored vehicles. It is obviously unrealistic to "drag the landing troops into the sea", but the Taiwan military still hopes to kill the landing troops on the beach defense line, which will weaken the opponent.
▲ Compared with the beachhead, the Taiwanese artillery
is a relatively threatening target
Relying on a large number of permanent fortifications built on the island, the Taiwanese army cannot completely prevent the landing troops from landing ashore, but it can also cause certain damage. When the landing troops have not yet established a foothold after they have landed on the shore, the Taiwan army's elite mobile combat troops and armed helicopter will concentrate their superior forces to launch a counterattack and attack the landing troops' flanks. At the same time, the hidden main force of the Taiwanese artillery will also concentrate firepower on the beach.
▲Taiwan Army began to focus on mobile operations
In the battle at the beachhead, gathering mobile troops to counterattack the beachhead is undoubtedly the most core step. If everything goes well, the heavy-armed troops of the Taiwan Army may be driven into the sea without a stable foothold and lack of heavy weapons. However, if the counterattack fails to achieve the predetermined effect, the Taiwan military's beachfront defense line will face collapse.
▲M1A2T Before the arrival of the shipment, our army's armored forces had absolute advantages in quality
Since the Taiwan Army's mechanized equipment is very old, it is difficult to meet the requirements in terms of quantity and quality. In order to enhance mobile combat forces, the Taiwan military purchased advanced equipment from the United States including M1A2 main battle tank . However, before these new weapons arrived, the Taiwanese mobile combat troops could not complete the task of "driving landing troops into the sea."
The decisive battle of the island
If the defensive plan at the beach completely fails, the landing troops will fully occupy the Penghu Islands, coastal beaches and important ports, and begin to transport large numbers of troops to the Taiwan Island. The defense plan of the entire Taiwan Island is about to collapse. According to the Taiwan Army's vision, the Taiwan Army should gather the last mobile forces at this time, establish the last line of defense in Taipei, and launch a decisive battle with the landing force .
▲On the front line of Taipei-Taoyuan-Hsinchu
Taiwanese army built complex defense facilities
Nottically, the purpose of the decisive battle is to annihilate the main force of the landing troops and regain the main ports and beachheads, but I'm afraid no one will really believe this statement. If the Taiwan Army had retained this strength by this time, it would have driven the landing troops into the sea long ago. The real mission of this force is undoubtedly to cover the fleeing of senior Taiwanese authorities from Taiwan.
▲Everyone is sure of the first one on the left in the second row, remember to catch the alive
But if the main force of the Taiwan Army had been wiped out long ago and could not be reassembled, what should the Taiwan Army do? This involves a sensitive topic: street fighting.
Street battle is perhaps the cruelest form of war in modern warfare. Whether it is Leningrad, Stalingrad, Berlin battle in World War II, or the recent battles of Damascus and Mariupol, street battles are extremely bloody and cruel for both sides of the offense and defense. On the island of Taiwan, the saying "Turn Taipei into Stalingrad" has always been heard.
▲The Taiwan Army does not attach great importance to street fighting
However, on the issue of street fighting, the Taiwan Army has always been a little secretive. The reason is also very simple: the vast majority of Taiwanese people oppose street fighting. Even those hard-core "Taiwan independence" elements rarely support street fighting, let alone ordinary people. In fact, even if the Taiwan military purchases some weapons and equipment for street fighting and conducts related exercises, it will trigger protests from the public.
▲ "Jaberlin" is an "asymmetric weapon" in street fighting
is not the focus of the Taiwan military's procurement
. From a technical point of view, the Taiwan military has no strength to perform street fighting or guerrillas at all. The active troops of the Taiwan Army are quite large, but after the consumption of landing operations, when it is time to fight street battles, these main forces have basically been exhausted. At this time, most of the troops that the Taiwan Army could rely on were temporarily recruited adult men in reserve. Although most adult men in Taiwan have experienced military service, the combat effectiveness of these troops is very different from that of active troops in terms of morale, organizational level and equipment training level.
▲Taiwan Army Reserve Forces 's "teaching" is not very meaningful
. Street fighting is precisely a form of war that requires soldiers to have firm will, extremely high organizationality and deep hatred. In cities, the defensive side can only be divided into multiple squads to disperse their defenses. In the case of poor communication and difficult to convey orders, each squad must have sufficient fighting will and excellent judgment. And the Taiwan Army has none of these three things.
Street battle, it is impossible to fight
Many people will use Ukraine as an example when mentioning the Taiwan issue, but the situation of the Ukraine army is completely different from that of the Taiwan army. Before this year, the Ukrainian army had experienced 8 years of repeated tug-of-war, had deep hatred with the Russian army, accumulated rich combat experience, and was mainly professional soldiers. These people are mainly engaged in warfare and have become warlords all the way. For these people, not fighting is their life.
▲In the eyes of Junwuju,
Mariupol story will not happen in Taiwan
. Apart from a few troops, the Taiwan army has no hatred for the mainland at all. At most, it only "each is its own master", and it is mainly composed of conscripts or even "strong men", and has no combat experience at all. Moreover, Taiwan's economic conditions are relatively rich. In one sentence, those Taiwanese with families and careers will leave everything behind and die for the sake of the Taiwanese authorities. Unless the Taiwan military has mastered brainwashing technology, it will be a fantasy.
▲The organizational level of the reserve force cannot be compared with the regular army
For the Taiwan Army, it is also possible to fight a war by concentrating these temporarily recruited "strong men" and using a few officers and non-commissioned officers to strictly manage them. But if the troops are really ordered to scatter out to fight street battles, these "army" will immediately become deserters or even criminals. Not to mention resisting the attack of landing troops, it would be nice not to cause trouble.
▲Is this building beautiful?
There is a exactly the same building as
The only effective urban defense of the Taiwan Army can only gather superior forces in a few important buildings, such as the office buildings of the Taiwan authorities, police stations, civil buildings with military value, etc. But such defense is nothing to do with "cruel street fighting" - the landing troops who master air supremacy can easily eliminate these craziest enemy troops.
Overall, all defense plans of the Taiwan military are based on one premise: the US military sends troops to participate in the war. The Taiwan military has no confidence and determination to complete defense independently, but believes that "if you firmly defend, there is a way", hoping to hold back the attack of the landing troops and wait for the US military to land to assist in defense or even counterattack. If the US military does not come, the Taiwan military will have to retreat step by step and finally run away.
▲Who do you guess this area denial is targeted?
Finally, Junwuju once again emphasized: All the above statements were compiled from previous exercises and public information of the Taiwan military. These "defense plans" of are only part of the content disclosed by the senior management of the Taiwan military. does not include confidential content and has nothing to do with the actual situation.
As for the actual situation, combined with the current situation in the past few days, I believe everyone has their own judgment in their hearts. And for those " Taiwan independence " elements, their stupid dreams will eventually be shattered!
