When Taiwan is reunified in the future, will the Taiwan military desperately resist the plausible attack of the People's Liberation Army? Will there be fierce street battles in Taipei, Kaohsiung and other Taiwanese cities?
According to the Taiwan independence elements, if a war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait and the Taiwan army cannot stop the landing troops of the People's Liberation Army at the beachhead, it will have to fight a brutal street battle with the mainland for two weeks or even two months until the Americans send troops. Such a statement has inspired and confused many people, including many young Taiwan independence elements on the island of Taiwan, many policy makers in the United States and Japan, and even some military analysts on the mainland. Of course, the Platon Army is also very serious about practicing street warfare, which is a must, and when attacking Taiwan, all possibilities should be taken into account, so of course the PLA must practice.
So, do the three armed forces in Taiwan have the idea and courage to fight such a bloody battle to the end? The most authoritative statement, of course, should still come from the Taiwan military. According to Shuai Huamin, many grass-roots units of the Taiwan Army are empty shelves, many company-level units have only one company commander, one platoon commander, one soldier, there is no way to fight at all, there is no way to fight with the PLA, Taiwan has invested a lot of money in naval equipment, but to this day, whether in quality or quantity, it cannot be compared with the PLA Navy.
Shuai Huamin even disclosed that the idea of Taiwan's navy was to run to Japan once the war started. The only thing that still has a little combat effectiveness is the Taiwan Air Force, especially the surface-to-air missile unit of the Taiwan Air Force; if the surface-to-air missiles cannot stop the PLA, then this battle will not have to be fought; although we know that the Taiwan army has inherited many of the vices of the Kuomintang army, we did not know before that the hollowing out of the Taiwan army has reached such a serious level, so the Taipei street battle advocated by Taiwan independence elements Su Zhenchang and others can only play a role in emboldening oneself, and of course, it is probably possible to confuse a small number of young people in Taiwan to become cannon fodder. They were able to push the PLA's offensive a little longer so that they could pack up the gold and silver and flee.
Generally speaking, if the two armies really want to fight a street war, then the two sides must have a blood sea and a deep vendetta, because the street war is very cruel, so what can be done if there is no blood sea deep vendetta? Shuai Huamin received the case of Liu Yuzhang from the Kuomintang army, who is Liu Yuzhang? He was a well-known escapist general in the Kuomintang army, good at retreating, and in the Civil War of the Kuomintang, he twice led the Kuomintang 52nd Army and escaped from the Liaoshen Battlefield or the Shanghai Battlefield in an organized manner. This Liu Yuzhang's method of governing the army is very simple, three people in a small group, as long as one of them is a deserter, the other two are shot, anyone who escapes on the battlefield will shoot him, relying on this harsh punishment measure to maintain combat effectiveness, in fact, can only be maintained for a while, can not last, the revolution depends on self-consciousness, the real combat effectiveness can only come from the conscious willingness of officers and soldiers.
Shuai Huamin also used the infantry platoon during the American Civil War as an example. When the infantry shoots at each other, everyone must stand upright and face to face to fire, and if anyone wants to lie down or escape, the company commander and platoon leader behind will use the warlord. Today, when the time has reached the 21 st century, it is really surprising that the top generals of the Taiwan army have trained troops in this way, and only the feudal army will adopt such a cruel and inhuman way of training troops. And he also completely misunderstood the American Civil War, during the Civil War, there was indeed a situation where the two sides stood in a row and fired rifles, but that was a way to take when the infantry tactics were immature, and the Southern army soon found that this tactic was unreasonable, and changed it to riflemen lying down to shoot, so that the Northern army suffered a big loss, and the Northern army also quickly learned from the casualties and modified the infantry tactics to a more reasonable model, and now this tactic, which is called "queuing and shooting", only exists in the movie.
From Shuai Huamin's remarks, it can be found that as soon as the cannons of the Taiwan Strait war sound, the Taiwan army is likely to scatter and collapse immediately; if the Taiwan army's air defense radar and air defense missiles are destroyed first, the morale of the Taiwan army may collapse even faster. Of course, the PLA has always followed the strategic contempt for the enemy and attached importance to the enemy's military principles in tactics; it must be practiced in rushing to land on the beach and fighting in the streets and alleys; as for what tactics to use when the time comes, it is a military secret; in addition, it is difficult to say whether the Taiwan army will give face to fight street battles with the PLA.
