Because both sides of the Taiwan Strait are the same nation, the Chinese People's Liberation Army has never encountered such difficulties.
The Taiwan government is still hovering on the edge of the cliff. If the PLA lands, will the Taiwan military and foreign intervening forces be prepared and pay a heavy price for the people?
1: History of War
Once the liberation of Jiangshan Island was the first joint operation of sea, land and air in the history of the People's Liberation Army. In the defense of one square kilometer of island, the People's Liberation Army sent 1 reinforced infantry regiment, 1 artillery regiment, 1 anti-aircraft artillery regiment, 12 aviation regiments, and 137 naval ships .
Liberate Hainan Island
PLA wiped out more than 1,100 enemy troops, shot down, injured 18, and sunk 7 enemy warships , with remarkable results.
As the main force, nearly 400 people were also sacrificed, which shows the cruelty of landing.
In the glorious history of the People's Liberation Army, the Battle of Hainan Island is the largest and most classic amphibious landing, and the People's Liberation Army completely liberated Hainan's territory at one time.
In this battle, two armies of the Fourth Field Army successfully landed. During the landing and subsequent clearance operations, the People's Liberation Army killed and captured more than 33,000 enemies, while itself at the cost of 4,500 lives.
It can be said that this is the great victory of the People's Liberation Army after paying a small price. It not only brought Hainan Island back to its hometown, but also shocked the Kuomintang government in Taiwan.
You should know that we sent two legions of the 15th Division and a unit composed of artillery and artillery to liberate Hainan.
Their total number was about 100,000, and at that time, there were only 100,000 enemies, but in the end, they still lost a large amount of manpower and were unable to save Hainan Island in the end.
Nowadays, Russia and Ukraine are fighting fiercely in eastern Ukraine. The casualties of Russian troops have reached more than 80,000, and Ukraine is expected to lose more than 13 years.
Therefore, we do not expect a war. If the Taiwan authorities force the PLA to use violence to achieve national unity, can we achieve more victory at less cost?
2: How much does the Taiwan military have to pay?
Currently, the Taiwan Army has about 170,000 personnel, and its main combat forces include four armored brigades, three army aviation brigades, three aircraft infantry brigades, and six infantry regiments under the three divisions.
plus the power of the artillery headquarters, the Taiwan army has about 100,000 troops.
Currently, there are 7 squadrons in Taiwan, equipped with more than 130 ships, distributed in 4 military ports on the island of Taiwan. In addition to the Marine Corps, the naval force in Taiwan is about 35,000 people.
Taiwan Air Force has 7 flight wings under its jurisdiction, including 1-5 fighter jet wing, 1 mixed wing, and 1 training wing, equipped with more than 400 aircraft, with a total number of about 40,000 people.
Taiwan government has nearly 200,000 soldiers, which is an island with an area of only 36,000 square kilometers?
After military system reform, the total number of the People's Liberation Army is only one million, while the 13 armies of the Tibet Military Region and Xinjiang Military Region are even smaller, which shows how huge the Taiwan Military Region is.
Faced with such a huge army, will the PLA Eastern Theater Command have the ability to annihilate it in one fell swoop?
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Fujian Military Region , Nanjing Military Region , and even the current East China Military Region are the main force of the People's Liberation Army.
Today, the Eastern Theater Command has three elite forces. The 71st, 72nd and 73rd Legions can survive multiple cuts, and their strength must be extraordinary.
Take the 73rd Division as an example. It was originally the 13th Column of the East China Field Army, but later changed to the 31st Army, becoming the main force in the Jiaodong region (during the Liberation War, the Jiaodong Military Region was an old base in the Shandong Liberation Zone). Although the
31 army is not as good as the 41st and 27th armies of the Jiaodong Military Region, it is an elite army.
The 31st Army destroyed 160,000 enemies during wartime and was the ace force of the People's Liberation Army.
A synthetic brigade under his command is the famous Jinan Second Regiment. He won the honorable title for his outstanding performance in the battle in Jinan.
The three legions on the eastern front have more military strength than Taiwan's army, and the three legions have much stronger military strength and scale than Taiwan's army.
Eastern Theater Command Army 6 joint brigades are equipped with more than 1,000 Type 05 amphibious assault vehicles and Type 05 amphibious infantry, and are a powerful amphibious force.
If three divisions go to the island, we have sufficient reason to think that they can surround Taiwan's main forces and give the enemy a heavy blow.
At present, the landing ship detachment, coastal defense craft brigade, and civil transport ships in the Eastern Theater Command can all transfer their main fleet to land.
PLA has powerful water and land transportation, allowing the Eastern Theater Command troops to fully exert their combat effectiveness.
3: How many casualties will be there for Americans who participate?
The US military deployed nearly 100,000 soldiers in the first island chain , most of whom were elites at sea and in the air, with 40,000 elite soldiers in Japan alone.
The number of Japanese Self-Defense Force also exceeded 200,000, which means that in the process of achieving national unification, we are likely to face the intervention of 300,000 troops.
Although the enemy is unlikely to deploy a large number of troops to the Taiwan Strait, we must send a large number of troops to support and defend.
But they dare to interfere in Taiwan Strait ? At present, the People's Liberation Army Navy, Air Force and Rocket Force have initially completed equipment renewal. If the US and Japan intervene forces dare to intervene in the Taiwan Strait.
The People's Liberation Army has the strength to strike and destroy all maritime and air bases within the 1st island chain, and the U.S. Navy will no longer be able to operate in the Western Pacific.
Taiwan’s regaining is not just to achieve a complete national unity, because we have reasons, but also reasonable and well-founded.
In this process, the intervention of the United States and Japan caused more than 100,000 casualties, because the United States lost 300,000 people during the war against U.S. aid Korea.
We do not want to go to war in the Taiwan Strait, nor do we want to start a conflict with the United States and Japan, but if they continue to interfere in China's internal affairs and interfere with China's reunification, they must make the worst plans and we have the ability to defend territorial integrity and determination.
