The Chinese military originally planned to conduct military training in the waters and airspace surrounding Taiwan from noon on the 4th until now. However, the missile launch ended in more than two hours on the first day. Experts said that in this military exercise, the CCP revealed its strategy for attacking Taiwan, showing that the CCP’s strength is far from the actual combat level.
According to the “Epoch Times” report, Jie Zhong, a researcher at Taiwan’s China Strategic Foresight Association, analyzed that there were two shortcomings in the launch of live ammunition on the first day. First, the interval between each wave of missile launches was not too short, and the interval between missiles should be as short as possible. . According to the data, the shortest is 8 minutes between the third wave and the fourth wave, and the longest is 43 minutes between the second and third waves.
He pointed out that in actual combat, the firing interval is too long, which is like using firepower one by one and sporadically, which will only give the enemy time to recover and regroup from the shock following being attacked by the previous wave. This should be regarded as tactical. Quite a serious mistake.
Except for the fourth wave, which was launched from Fujian and later passed over Taiwan, it had a near-simultaneous effect. In this regard, Jie Zhong said that this does not meet the basic requirements of Xi Jinping’s actual combat, and it also reveals that the CCP’s military joint operations planning and command capabilities and the tactical level of the troops are insufficient.
In addition, Luo Qingsheng, executive director of the Taiwan Institute of International Strategy, previously told VOA that the CCP’s “blockade of Taiwan” exercise was only part of a “combat plan once morest Taiwan.”
Luo Qingsheng said: “Because the CCP does not really want to attack Taiwan, but uses blockade methods to prevent natural gas from entering Taiwan, and power generation will become a problem.” He believes that the Taiwan government should consider the countermeasures of blockade tactics, including Grain and oil storage must be carefully calculated, and all resources can no longer be devoted to anti-landing and asymmetric operations.
