How many troops will be needed to reunify Taiwan by force? The US media's prediction turned out to be that 1.2 million troops would be needed, and at the same time, the US media also said that in fact the PLA would not be able to reunify Taiwan at all. So what is the basis for the US media to make such judgments? Is it true that the PLA cannot reunify Taiwan by force?
Let's find out!
As far as Chinese mainland is concerned, on the one hand, it is considering the impact and risks that war will bring, and on the other hand, considering that the two sides of the strait have the same root and origin, and in fact they do not want to see the two sides of the strait fighting each other; although there is little hope for peaceful reunification, the mainland is still willing to do its utmost to strive for it and still hope for a peaceful settlement of the Taiwan issue.
The United States has been meddling in the Taiwan issue in a vain attempt to manipulate the Taiwan authorities in a vain attempt over the past few years in order to use Taiwan as a pawn to contain the mainland's development and weaken the mainland's strength.
Judging from the US war games, the result on many occasions has been that "the US military has narrowly won," believing that if the US military intervenes in a conflict in the Taiwan Strait, the PLA will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
For example, according to the US media "1945", if the PLA wants to take Taiwan by force, it must dispatch at least 1.2 million troops, and the Taiwan military has about 450,000 troops to resist the PLA.
You must know that the mainland's total active military strength is only a little over 2 million, and if it is really like what the US media said, to fight a war of military reunification, it will have to dispatch at least 1.2 million troops, which is almost all the elite troops of the People's Liberation Army, which can be said to have exhausted everything.
The answer, of course, is no, and this is actually the consistent routine of the US media, which does everything they can to belittle the mainland, and then tries to achieve the effect of deterring the mainland by touting Taiwan.
Even in order to warn the mainland not to take over Taiwan by force, the US media even pointed out in their reports that the Taiwan military will fight for it at all costs in order to "resist reunification by force," and said that the Taiwan military and Taiwan independence elements have the same tenacious will as the Ukrainians, and they will protect every inch of Taiwan's land and will absolutely not allow the mainland's military reunification to succeed, and even if the mainland's military reunification succeeds, there will still be public security problems on the island of Taiwan that are difficult to solve.
If the PLA really decides to take over Taiwan by force, then after the war starts, the PLA will deploy a regional denial system as soon as possible, so that the US military and other foreign forces cannot intervene.
At the same time, it will first use long-range attack weapons to attack all important targets on the island of Taiwan, and paralyze the combat network of the Taiwan military, so that the Taiwan military will not have the strength to fight back at all.
There is no doubt that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) will certainly use the minimum cost and the shortest time to achieve the greatest victory when it takes over Taiwan by force, and even if the Taiwan army wants to fight street battles and guerrilla warfare with our army, in fact it will not be a large PLA force charging into battle, and the unmanned weapons and equipment in our hands will become the "advance army" to take the lead.
Therefore, if you want to take Taiwan by force, the PLA does not need to dispatch 1.2 million troops at all, even if the situation that the United States, Japan and other foreign forces may intervene, our eastern theater is enough.
However, although the US media are deliberately smearing and belittling the PLA, there is one point that he still needs to pay attention to, that is, he must completely eliminate the Taiwan independence elements on the island and not leave them any chance to cause chaos on the island after the reunification of the two sides of the strait. Otherwise, after reunification, public order on the island will indeed be a big problem.
In this regard, netizens have also expressed their opinions:
"What is the use of having more soldiers in modern warfare? Iraq is no less than the United States when it comes to dealing with the United States."
"The army can't move much, mainly bombers, missiles, drones. ”
"Modern warfare is not won by relying on a large number of people, but by relying on high technology, information, and resourcefulness to win a complete victory. ”
"Modern warfare generally destroys more than 85 percent of the hostile fortifications and garrison forces before launching an infantry attack, and the PLA's reconnaissance technology and saturation strike capability can completely do it."
"It is estimated that 100,000 troops will not be needed, and those strawberry soldiers will surrender as soon as they are beaten"
"Half an hour of precision strikes, under the cover of Air Force aircraft and air assault brigades, the pier landed directly"
"In order to reduce casualties, it is better to target strikes with artillery shelling, long-range missiles. Drone infiltration. ”
"A small land can use millions of lions?"
"We must be prepared to fight big, difficult, and tough battles, and to fight a decisive battle and a decisive victory with absolute superiority. Be prepared to be prepared, and never despise the enemy at any time. ”
Although it shouts that "there will be a war between China and the United States" and shouts that it will "help defend Taiwan," in fact the United States is more worried than anyone else that a conflict in the Taiwan Strait will really break out. What do you think about this?
