As we all know, since the time entered the year 2000, the gap between the military strength of Chinese mainland and Taiwan has gradually begun to widen, and now the Chinese navy and air force have developed rapidly for more than 20 years, and the military strength of the two sides is no longer above the same order of magnitude.
There is a huge gap between the military strength and military equipment of the two sides of the strait, and once a conflict breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, the defeat of the defense forces in the Taiwan region is already a sure fact, and no one will raise any doubts about this at all.
But now more and more people on the Internet are asking the question, that is, once a cross-strait conflict breaks out, how long will it take for the PLA to liberate Taiwan?
Whether it is the answer of foreign military experts or the estimation of Taiwan's retired generals, this question is far beyond everyone's expectations, and many people may be full of doubts after seeing the final result!
The strength of the People's Liberation Army is fully crushed!
Five years after the Gulf War, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) carried out large-scale, large-scale, and protracted military reforms, and since then the Chinese armed forces have embarked on a path of modern and information-based development.
The development of China's air force and navy has been obvious to all over the years, and the play of the army may not be seen by many people, but the transformation of China's heavy synthetic brigade and group army is already clear to everyone, and the combat effectiveness of the heavy composite brigade after the military reform has also become a myth in the army!
Not to mention China's achievements in aircraft carriers, the Navy alone can play a vital role in the war to liberate the Taiwan Strait with advanced models such as 055 and 052D, and although the 075 amphibious landing ship has only been built 4 now, it is definitely one of the indispensable ships for the liberation of the Taiwan Strait!
As far as the Air Force is concerned, you can see that there are fifth-generation aircraft J-20 and fourth-generation aircraft J-16 with combat effectiveness, as well as various stealth unmanned aerial vehicle reconnaissance planes with super combat effectiveness, which can not only carry out special operations but also ensure the accuracy of intelligence.
In addition, there is China's most proud rocket force, which can not only accurately hit various military targets in the Taiwan region, but also deter foreign forces from easily interfering in the Taiwan Strait!
Generally speaking, China's navy, land and air forces are ahead of Taiwan's defense forces in an all-round way, of course, these are not the most important, the most important thing is that China has a super strong sea, land and air three-in-one joint combat system, as well as a super high information and electronic advantage!
Moreover, China has the world's strongest high-tech series of electronic warfare aircraft and electronic countermeasures aircraft, which can ensure that the Chinese armed forces can maintain absolute superiority in electronic information at all times during operations.
Moreover, judging from the electronic warfare gap between the two sides, it is very likely that the Taiwan region's guard forces will not be able to use radar and reconnaissance equipment for a short time after the war begins. And under the PLA's powerful electronic jamming and electronic suppression, Taiwan's air defense forces will also become completely ornamental.
After some analysis and rational comparison of strength, you may find that these so-called defense departments in the Taiwan region are really vulnerable in the face of the PLA!
How long will it take for the PLA to defeat the Taiwanese army?
Although in recent years, with the support of the United States, officers of Taiwan's regional defense forces have frequently stated that they want to fight street battles with the People's Liberation Army in Taiwan's cities, they have ignored the fact that whether or not street battles can be fought depends mainly on whether the two sides of the battle have the will to fight.
Although Taiwan is the homeland of these Taiwanese troops, the PLA is not an aggressor who invades Taiwan, but an elderly person who comes to bring their children home, so how many soldiers in the Taiwan region are willing to give everything to fight to the end in the face of the PLA with strong combat effectiveness?
Therefore, the street fighting that Taiwan's defense department has been advocating cannot, in fact, be fought at all, because the soldiers in the Taiwan region do not have such a resolute will to fight, and even in this battle, as long as the PLA successfully lands on Taiwan, the will to resist will be broken, just like the defense policy put forward by the Taiwan authorities in the past, the first battle will be a decisive battle!
Therefore, Taiwan will not and cannot be Ukraine, and once the PLA decides to solve the Taiwan issue, it will inevitably surround the island on all sides and will not give any organization or individual the opportunity to provide assistance to Taiwan!
A senior official of Japan's Self-Defense Forces has discussed this issue, saying that the PLA has the strength to take Taiwan within 24 hours if China launches a war of armed reunification.
This high-ranking official of Japan's Self-Defense Forces believes that once the PLA takes a quick victory as its strategic goal, it will definitely come up with all means to gain sea and air supremacy, and at the same time, the anti-ship capability and air defense capability of the island of Taiwan will also be destroyed as soon as the war begins, and at the same time, electronic warfare and network warfare will be launched to directly paralyze the command system of the Taiwan military!
After all this is done, the PLA only needs to carry out amphibious landings and airdrop operations, and basically can completely disintegrate the defensive front of Taiwan's defense department! The entire process can definitely be completed within 24 hours!
According to China's retired lieutenant general Wang Hongguang, it only takes 72 hours for the PLA to take Taiwan, of which 24 hours are to prepare firepower, and the remaining 48 hours are used for landing operations plus finishes!
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, if the PLA wants to recover Taiwan, it is impossible to fight a protracted war, and as long as we make adequate preparations and ensure that the landing operation can be smooth, the defenders of Taiwan will not be able to bring much trouble to the PLA at all!
