The Battle of Taipei started only in the second hour after the normal attack on Taiwan began. On the one hand, it was to divert the troops of the Taiwan Army's Sixth Army Corps from going to Taoyuan and prevent the mission of recovering nuclear warheads from being destroyed. On the other hand, Taipei, as the core of the exiled regime, As long as this place is captured, it is not impossible to look forward to the scenery in other areas.
The rumor that the PLA can cover a radius of 3,000 kilometers in six hours is really not a joke, and the initiator of this idea is Qi Yiming himself. In this era, national interests were basically limited to the areas surrounding the country, and a radius of three thousand kilometers basically covered all the core interests of the Chinese dynasty. Giving pLAR more aggressiveness and mobility, we hope that in any urgent situation, the three armies will be able to attack quickly, strike quickly, and deliver quickly.
The landing fleet led by the navy's Riptide A and 07l immediately delivered about a brigade of troops to Taoyuan, dividing the north and the south. If the Eighth Army of the Taiwan Army wanted to attack Qinwang, they would have to face the elite soldiers who had already landed. defense of a combined Army and Marine brigade. Taiwan, which lacks depth, can almost master one or two nodes and achieve a comprehensive breakthrough. Even though Qi Yiming is not a tactical expert, he has not wasted these years. The entire landing operation deployed around the task of seizing the nuclear warhead is also tightly integrated and interlocked. Coupled with his different status, there are few objections in the military. A sophisticated machine made a rumbling sound and started running according to his arrangement.
The PLA troops that fought in the Taipei Battle were also airborne troops of the Air Force. In fact, the airborne troops and the Marine Corps themselves are very aggressive troops, so there was nothing surprising about them repeatedly charging ahead and making waves. The 8th Marine Airborne Brigade that participated in the Malayan War to Protect Overseas Chinese has been collectively disbanded and has now become the Nanyang National Defense Force's 01 Airborne Infantry Brigade and the Airborne Infantry Brigade. However, the airborne troops trained by the Air Force with the support of Qi Yiming and the base The B44 and 45th Airborne Division of the 15th Army also reached a very high level.
Taipei is the area with the most intensive air defense firepower on the island. Although Hawk missiles and other missiles are electromagnetic suppressed and cannot counterattack, hundreds of large and small anti-aircraft guns still give the air force some headaches. In order to avoid heavy losses to the airborne troops, the Air Force first ordered attack aircraft and multi-purpose fighters to begin knocking out the air defense positions on the surface detected by spy satellites one by one. However, there are still some well-camouflaged air defense positions that are difficult to detect for a while, so they dispatched some decoy carriers to wander in the air over Taipei, and then a large number of strong defender attack aircraft. Once the anti-aircraft guns are activated, the attack aircraft will He immediately returned the favor.
Yun- is a transport aircraft that has been almost withdrawn from the Air Force. Now transport aircraft of this magnitude are basically borne by Yun. After the production capacity of Qi Yiming Base exploded, the Air Force and the Navy suddenly turned around and became rich. In addition, Qi Yiming's Red Alert soldiers really didn't have much human rights in the eyes of the generals, so the Air Force did not even blink an eye when carrying out such a dangerous decoy mission. Furthermore, the level of red alert pilots is higher, their evasion and experience are better, and their survival rate should be higher.
During this decoy mission, a transport aircraft was hit by an anti-aircraft gun and crashed relatively close to the "Presidential Palace". All the crew members ejected after being hit, and then the special service troops rescued them. . This also confirms that the density of air defense firepower in some areas is indeed very high, such as the "Presidential Palace".
Attack aircraft and drones have been launched one after another, launching surgical precision strikes in Taipei city. This is also what Qi Yiming and other high-level officials have specially communicated. If they accidentally injure some civilians in Malaysia, Indonesia and other places, forget it. , but you must be extremely careful in Taiwan, because too much killing may leave a knot between the two sides that is difficult to untie in the future.
The air defense positions were almost cleared, and then the airborne troops came on stage. The generous Air Force mobilized more than 200 large and medium-sized transport aircraft, airdropped two divisions, and tens of thousands of people entered the theater. What was airdropped was not only soldiers with light weapons, but also paratrooper tanks, supplies and other necessities. Because of the larger scale, the "Ten Thousands of Pear Blossoms" over Taipei this time seemed more spectacular than the airborne operation in Kuala Lumpur that day. many.
The airborne troops still use the relatively lightweight EB03 paratrooper fighting vehicle. It is not that the NIP multifunctional infantry vehicle is not good, but considering that the smaller EB03 can hold more, and in essence, the firepower of the multifunctional infantry vehicle is actually It is not necessary that the Type 03 paratrooper tank is stronger, that is, it can only carry more soldiers. Therefore, the equipment of the airborne troops is still mainly based on the Type 03 paratrooper tank. After the local tycoon mentality gradually emerged, the Air Force also planned to build a NIP of 1,800 vehicles for use. Anyway, buying and maintaining equipment is not paid for by itself.
After the airborne troops landed in Taipei, the battle situation they faced was still more difficult than that of other troops. According to reports, B hours had passed since the war started. The Taiwanese army was fighting at home. Even though the command system was almost completely chaotic and the pLA was caught by surprise and unprepared, it still integrated some defensive power. In particular, the current Chief of Staff of the Guo Army, Hao Baicun, is considered a relatively talented general with a strong will to resist, and has also caused a lot of trouble to the two airborne divisions.
The 2nd Taiwan Army, named Tiger Roar Troops, is stationed in Taipei County.(Today's New Taipei City), after the communication was disconnected, the Hengshan Command Post used the ancient army's command-running method to get Hao Baicun to march into Taipei to block all enemy forces entering Taipei. At this time, the Taiwan Army did not reach the equipment level of the 1990s and early 21st century. The 22nd Division did not have much heavy firepower. The infantry advance basically relied on the foot, but there were many people. The airborne troops had just landed. A gathering process, coupled with the fact that Commander-in-Chief Li Zhisheng was unwilling to fight head-on, but consciously gathered the airborne troops on the ground.
? 2 Pei Dunjue had a smooth deployment, and he drove the PLAR airborne troops back for about four or five kilometers in one breath, all the way to crossing the river and shrinking to the vicinity of Zhongshan District. However, at this time, the continuously assembled airborne troops suddenly counterattacked. Dozens of paratrooper tanks led a group of airborne troops to rush down the mountain like a tiger. Although the 226th Division of the Taiwan Army is known as the Tiger Roaring Force, it did not face such an offensive at all. Not like a tiger, but like a sheep knocked down by a tiger
The Air Force bombers came again, and several HUKs dropped dozens of tons of guided bombs in one go, catastrophizing the Type 26, which was knocked dizzy. Taking advantage of the cover of their own air force, the airborne troops went all out to devour 2 Pei alive with a small number of troops. The normal battle lasted more than an hour. In the end, 2 Pei was wiped out in the border areas of Taipei City and Taipei County, and the remaining troops surrendered.
Obviously, this mode of fighting by airborne troops is not the method that Qi Yiming likes. Although this method of retreating and rushing is very angry, it is also very medieval. It is just like the fighting method during the Liberation War, and it follows Qi Yiming's rules. , it must be the air force and artillery that hit hard, and then the infantry went up to clean up the victory.
"Originally, this war was part of the War of Liberation, haha." After thinking about it, Qi Yiming could understand. Although modern wars no longer require this kind of charge-style passion and pride, this type of war does. Easily celebrated and remembered. Moreover, Qi Yiming also felt that troops that lacked passion and pride, and that only relied on high-tech weapons and firepower superiority, were probably the weakest among foreign powers. After all, wars are fought by people, and weapons alone are not important. People who master weapons Also very important.
This also makes Qi Yiming secretly vigilant, and does not want the PLA to be as virtuous as the US military in later generations. It is invincible when fighting with favorable conditions, but will fall into disgrace when faced with adversity.
On the other hand, Pei (reduced in 207 in later generations) stationed at Linkou was also a trouble for the airborne troops. This unit has been mechanized and adapted in the past few years. It is still somewhat more effective than the ordinary Taiwanese light divisions. In addition, the airborne troops are mainly paratrooper tanks, so it is still a bit tricky.
Naturally, the airborne troops have strong air superiority with the assistance of attack aircraft and bomber units, and their firepower is actually not weak.
When the 45th Airborne Division came into contact with the Taiwan Army Pei Fu, they were determined to beat the opponent's brains out. The 249th Division was born in Bald Chiang's youth army. Later, it fought against Guningtou in the battle to retreat from Taiwan. It is considered a comparison. There are few strong bones in the Taiwan military, and they have nothing to fear from the PLA itself. So in terms of morale alone, there is no big difference between the two.
Although the infantry-tank coordination exercised by this Taiwanese army was not very high-end, it was still done in a methodical manner. Although the airborne troops were well prepared to face such a tough situation, they were still surprised. It¡¯s just that the airborne troops are by no means easy to bully. Although armored vehicles with more than B tons such as paratrooper tanks are basically one-shot in front of tanks like NU0, they also have their own countermeasures weapons, which are the Red Arrow 73 anti-tank weapons. Tank missiles.
Even though PLA is currently equipped with many of the most advanced anti-tank missiles, the Red Arrow 10, several models of the Red Arrow 73 that have undergone many improvements can be produced by ordinary military factories, which can be regarded as a way for the military to maintain their livelihood. , so the mainstream anti-tank missiles are still the new Red Arrow 73 missiles that are stronger than the original versions.
The range of this thing is longer than the 106 tank gun of NU0, and the mobility of paratrooper tanks is also better than that of NU0. The airborne troops try to surround the Taiwanese tank troops and attack these tanks and tanks with Red Arrow 73. Immediately maneuvering to change places, just like the Rangers' manguha tactics, can really be regarded as making use of strengths and avoiding weaknesses.
This is the difference between smart troops and rigid troops. Originally, in terms of rigidity, the PLA should be at the forefront of the world, but the new things and new trends brought by Qi Yiming still affected the entire army, making everyone understand when to fight hard. No one can retreat, but you must use your brain when you can better attack the enemy.
After a swarm of anti-tank missiles made a breach, a group of tanks and soldiers rushed up to get to know the remaining soldiers. Therefore, even the weaker 45th Division was able to gain some upper hand against the mechanized Pei. However, Pei's counterattack was also sharp, and the 45th Division continued to suffer casualties. It was not until the Air Force attack planes appeared again that the heaviest weight was completely added to the balance. of a weight.
