As a shining pearl born in the revolutionary war years of our country, General Su Yu's reputation swept across China and shocked China, and was regarded as the "ever-victorious general" and "uncrowned king" by colleagues, opponents and later critics. From the " Menglianggu Battle " to capture the enemy's elite troops from the chaos to the Suzhong seven battles and seven victories, and then to the highlight moments of Huaihai Battle , it is no exaggeration to say that it is because of General Su Yu's use of troops as a god that the War of Liberation was declared to end at such an astonishing speed and ushered in the national liberation.
Although General Su Yu's performance during the War of Liberation was impeccable, he always had an irreparable regret in his heart, that is, the unification of Taiwan. At the end of the War of Liberation, in view of General Su Yu's outstanding combat capabilities in commanding the large corps, Chairman Mao appointed him as the director of the "Observation Committee" to coordinate and be responsible for the various operations to unify Taiwan.
In the autumn of 1949, a total of 120,000 defeated soldiers and generals who escaped from the mainland were defeated in Taiwan. Then, Chiang Kai-shek recruited 20,000 mercenaries from Japan, and in addition to the subsequent remnants of troops retreating from Hainan Island and Zhoushan Island to Taiwan, the armed forces controlled by the Kuomintang reactionaries reached about 400,000. Therefore, General Su Yu made new adjustments to the combat plan, with a total force of about 500,000 attacking Taiwan, and the total number of troops participating in the war reached 16 armies.
Then in the discussion with Navy Commander Xiao Jinguang, the scale of relevant logistics equipment was determined. The total weight of all vehicles, horses, weapons, grain, etc. was about 135,000 tons, and the total tonnage of ships required was no less than 760,000 tons. In other words, at least 575 ships with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons are required during the entire operation.
In 1950, the steel production in mainland China was only 610,000 tons. Even if all steel supports shipbuilding, it would not be able to meet the requirements of cross-sea combat in a short period of time.
ship problem has not been resolved for a long time. Coupled with the changes in the international situation and the start of Korean War , the plan to attack Taiwan has been shelved indefinitely, and the unification of Taiwan can only be handed over to the next generation.
70 years, the economic and social development between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait has undergone tremendous changes, and the comparison of military strength is far from the situation back then. It is understood that the total strength of Taiwan today does not exceed 200,000. Whether in terms of force size, equipment level or combat effectiveness, the other side is far from the opponent of the People's Liberation Army. Especially in terms of cross-sea landing, long-range strikes, and joint combat, the People's Liberation Army is far superior to the Taiwan Army at several levels.
Driven by the "dumpling" process over ten years, the PLA Navy's total tonnage exceeded 2.2 million tons, ranking second in the world. The main battleships include three aircraft carriers in Liaoning, Shandong and Fujian, 8 large-scale destroyers of 0.55 million tons, as well as dozens of 052D and 052C missile destroyers and the huge 054A missile frigate family.
Unify Taiwan, the first test of our army's amphibious combat capabilities. Only by taking the lead in seizing air superiority and sea superiority can we establish the victory of the entire battle. On the battlefield of the Taiwan Strait, the main combat equipment destined to be the protagonist includes 2 75 amphibious assault ships , 8 Type 071 dock landing ships, 44 air cushion landing ships, and 63 tank landing ships.
075 amphibious assault ship, as the core of the entire PLA amphibious assault formation, bears the most important burden of equipment, personnel transportation, and landing. It is reported that it can transport more than 1,000 landing soldiers and 35 amphibious tanks or tanks and at a time, and can also carry multiple air cushion landing craft. In addition, the 075 can also carry 30 helicopters of various types and take off and land 6 at the same time.
Once the Taiwan Strait changes, the People's Liberation Army launches a unified military operation with a thunderous momentum. Without the intervention of external forces, the mainland only needs to use the Eastern Theater Command Navy, Army and Air Force to complete the established combat goals, with a total number of up to 200,000 people.
So what if the US military intervenes?
Although the mainstream academic community does not believe that the United States will intervene in the war in the Taiwan Strait "100%" and may even interfere in cross-strait military conflicts.But for two years, Biden intentionally or unintentionally "slip" on different occasions, but always reminds the mainland, especially the People's Liberation Army, that the United States has never given up on the idea of directly working with the People's Liberation Army, and the Taiwan Strait is the main battlefield where the two armies are most likely to have conflicts.
In the Taiwan Strait crisis in 1996, the US military dispatched a naval and air force composed of two aircraft carrier battle groups as the main body, including 150 carrier-based aircraft of various types and more than 40 ships . Considering the comprehensive combat power of the People's Liberation Army, it is not ruled out that the US military will increase its size of troops involved in the Taiwan Strait, and it is not surprising that it will eventually reach 3-4 aircraft carrier formations. Once a scene like
comes true, the nature of the war will not only be a unified war within China, but also a comprehensive confrontation between the world's top two military and economy . Any imagined desperate struggle or death struggle may occur.
At that time, the forces dispatched by the People's Liberation Army will naturally expand accordingly. The Navy's elite will be launched, the Southern Theater Command, the Northern Theater Command, and the Central Theater Command, and the " Dongfeng Express " will be launched in an array, and the scale of the troop use is expected to be around 250,000-300,000. The question is, under the "anti-denial" network composed of " aircraft carrier killer " such as Dongfeng-21D, Dongfeng-26 and Eagle Strike-21, how many days can the US aircraft carrier and other large ships survive? Can you successfully arrive at the waters around the incident?
Obviously, the so-called "military intervention in the Taiwan Strait" of the US military is the same as the "Taiwan independence" proposition of the Democratic Progressive Party. It is just a verbal spree and has no room for operation at all. If you don't believe in evil and go to practice in person, it is equivalent to ringing your own death knell.
