Have the United States ever thought about how many people would be injured or killed?
In Gulf War , the US military paid more than 100 casualties, Afghanistan War in 2001, and more than 2,400 American soldiers were killed and 2003, Iraq War US military paid more than 30,000 casualties, of which nearly 5,000 were killed.
The highest level and military of the US military have never given up their preparations to interfere with the Taiwan Strait by force, so they are also doing casualties assessments . Although the specific data has not been released to the public, we can review history!
1: Americans’ ability to withstand
Since the Kuomintang retreated from Taiwan, the United States has regarded Taiwan as a card game against the mainland. Even after establishing diplomatic relations with our country, the United States has not given up on the idea of "assisting defense" Taiwan.
direct armed conflict between the two sides The reason for the PLA had caused the US military to pay a heavy price of casualties. In the second battle of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, in the Eastern and Western Fronts:
I The 9th Corps of the Volunteer Army and 9 troops under the 13th Corps killed and wounded nearly 20,000 US troops, causing the US military to pay a heavy price.
In the Shangganling Battle , the 15th Army and the 12th Army had 9 infantry regiments and 11 artillery battalions participated in the battle. Our troops held their positions for 43 days, and at the cost of 15,000 casualties, the US military paid 25,000 heavy casualties.
Since the Battle of Shangganling, the US military has completely abandoned the idea of fighting large-scale position offensive and defensive operations with the Volunteer Army . During the entire War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the volunteer army achieved a total of 720,000 kills, wounds and captured enemies, including more than 300,000 US troops.
In World War II , the US military has never encountered such a strong opponent and suffered such heavy losses. This battle has put the US military in the shadow of it.
Although the US military wants to rely on naval and air forces to stop the People's Liberation Army from solving the Taiwan issue, the main reason why the Taiwan Strait maintains a relatively stable situation is that the military forces between China and the United States are basically balanced.
China's combat front at home is short, but its sea and air strength is relatively weak, and its amphibious landing combat experience is insufficient. Although the US military has strong sea and air strength, its front line is too long.
More importantly, there is a shadow in the fight between the US military and the PLA. unbearable casualties are the main reason why the US military remains calm. What casualties do the US military need to pay?
2: How many troops do the US military need to dispatch
Now, the US military has deployed most of the naval fleet and air force wings around China. The 3rd Fleet, the 7th Fleet and the 5th Fleet are the main forces of the US military's interference in the Taiwan Strait.
The three major fleets have 6 aircraft carriers , nearly 40 nuclear submarines, more than 60 missile destroyers and missile cruiser , and a large number of amphibious combat ships .
Take aircraft carriers as an example. The US military deployed more than 30,000 naval personnel, and all naval ships combat personnel are close to 100,000.
The US Air Force is also the main force in interfering in the Taiwan Strait. The US Pacific Air Force Command has 4 air fleets, more than 10 fighter wings, and a large number of combat support aircraft, which are scattered and deployed in more than 20 air force bases.
For the 11th Air Force deployed by the US military in Alaska , has 2 fifth-generation fighter wings, equipped with more than 100 F-22 and F-35 fighter .
The US military has tens of thousands of staff members in more than 20 air bases in the Asia-Pacific region.
The US military believes that the armed forces in Taiwan cannot resist the PLA landing. If the war goes uncontrollable, the US military must dispatch ground forces to intervene in the Taiwan Strait. A large number of Army divisions and Marines are essential armed forces.
The US Army has 10 active army divisions, including 4 mechanized and 1 cavalry division (has been highly informatized and mechanized, and the honorary title is retained) , 1 air assault division, 1 airborne division , 1 mountain division , 1 light infantry division and 1 armored division.
US military must dispatch at least 1 and a half of the main forces of the army to assist in defense of Taiwan. The number of division-level personnel of the US military is generally between 16,000 and 18,000.
plus the Marine Corps deployed on the frontier, The US military can dispatch more than 100,000 ground troops, If the US military intervenes in the Taiwan Strait, the losses of the ground troops will be unbearable.
3: The US military military base will suffer serious losses
Since defeating its biggest opponent, Japan, the United States has become the overlord of Asia-Pacific region, and has built the Asia-Pacific region into a military fortress.
The United States has more than 200 military bases and facilities in Japan and South Korea, and dozens of large army, navy and air force bases, taking Yokosuka Military Port as an example.
Yokosuka Military Port has 18 piers, 6 dry docks and more than 30 large and small oil depots. It can be said to be one of the largest military ports in Asia.
Most of the 7th Fleet of the US Pacific Fleet's surface ships are stationed here, such as the famous "Reagan" nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, more than 10 large surface combat ships, a large number of mine warships, amphibious combat ships, etc.
The US military has spent billions of dollars on the reconstruction and expansion of Yokosuka military port, and the US military spends military bases in the Asia-Pacific region even more astronomical.
In order to improve the survivability of front-line fighter jets, the US military spent huge amounts of money to build a large number of aircraft forts and maintenance hangars. The US fighter jets at the Okinawa Kadena Air Force Base and Naha bases all have permanent reinforcement aircraft forts and other defense facilities.
Can the US military bear such heavy losses?
4: PLA's solid military struggle preparations
The US military's military base in the Asia-Pacific is the material basis for offensive operations, but now it is also facing an embarrassing situation. The premise for the PLA to resolve the Taiwan issue is to have the ability to suppress US military bases in the Asia-Pacific region.
PLA's progress in precision-guided munitions, cruise missiles , conventional ballistic missiles , anti-ship ballistic missiles and hypersonic missiles are obvious to all.
Take cruise missiles as an example. The latest Changjian 100 cruise missile has been equipped with a cruise missile brigade. This type of missile adopts a composite guidance method of satellite + terrain matching + end guidance, and the cruise speed is between Mach 3-4, which brings an increase in the probability of penetration.
PLA's medium-range bombers, missile destroyers, and attack nuclear submarines all have the ability to launch cruise missiles, as well as a large number of land-based cruise missile launchers.
cruise missiles and their vehicles are just microcosm of our army's long-range strike capabilities. If the US military dares to intervene in the Taiwan Strait, the PLA has the ability to keep all the US military bases in the Asia-Pacific region unblocked.
The Taiwan issue involves national dignity, territorial integrity and national interests. The Chinese have no room for bargaining or room for concessions.
The US military has always forced other countries to make concessions through military strength. After the PLA's strength surpassed the US military in Asia-Pacific, The US can only be the life of a lady's maid - worrying about it.
