Iranian View of Chinese Invadion of Taiwan

Can China take back Taiwan? The first part

For decades, the Chinese army has been preparing and training for only one mission, the recapture of Taiwan.

Many military experts do not take the Chinese army seriously because it has not experienced real war in recent decades, and it is interesting that England had the same opinion about the Japanese army before World War II.

China learned from the war in Ukraine and realized that you should not expect your enemy to welcome you with flowers and hugs! And that from the very beginning, you should enter the war with all your might. It is also necessary to defend and destroy the enemy’s anti-ship missile units with a wide and continuous missile campaign at the beginning.

Ukraine is still able to fight because its weapons and ammunition are supplied and renewed by NATO from the border of Poland and Romania. If China wants to win, it must surround Taiwan and prevent the entry of weapons and ammunition from the Philippines and Japan.

China’s first goal will be to encircle the island and destroy Taiwan’s navy, which is stationed in 4 bases around it.

The scenario of a possible war between China and Taiwan, part two

China knows that Taiwan will not surrender easily, so it should issue the order to mobilize reserve forces before the attack, not after the attack, which the signs indicate.

China can transfer its forces to the shores of the island with both special ships and thousands of converted civilian ships (similar to the battle of Dunkirk, but in reverse).

The first attack target could be the small island of Penghu, which is located in the west of Taiwan. Forbes magazine said that if China intends to attack Taiwan, Taipei will send 1000 tanks to the coast where China will deploy troops. If China has Penghu, from the airport there, it can send its military helicopters to attack Taiwan’s armored equipment. While the attack on the west coast is going on, it can attack its east coast with its forces stationed around Taiwan, which are less prepared to fight.

Taiwan should buy time for America and its allies to arrive for help, and what China is looking for is to end the war as quickly as possible even with high casualties.
