Recently, according to Taiwan Strait Network citing media reports on the island, the Taiwan Army’s "Han Kuang 40 Exercise" planned to be launched on July 22 has officially canceled the imaginary enemy of the ground forces, but still Some naval and air forces will be planned to carry out confrontation, and exercises will be carried out for five consecutive days and four nights according to the process of defensive operations.
▲Lai Qingde, who intends to "reject reunification with force"
After Lai Qingde came to power, he intended to reverse the negative reputation of the "Hanguang Exercise", which was criticized by netizens as a "large-scale performance" because the situation scenario was divorced from reality and the training content was old-school. monument, therefore requiring " Try to be as close to the actual situation on the battlefield as possible" and promote a major revision of the military exercise. Therefore, this year, the "Red Army" and "Blue Army" settings will be cancelled, and no changes will be made to the imaginary enemy drills. The purpose is to conduct verification with real simulation scenarios issued by the "Commandation Department".
However, this move caused quite a bit of controversy. After all, based on real simulation scenarios, coupled with the confrontation exercises between the red and blue armies, it will be relatively closer to actual combat. If there is no imaginary enemy, it is equivalent to only a large number of Taiwan military participating troops moving according to the expected plan and route. , will make the "Han Kuang Exercise" more like a "one-man show" performed by only the Taiwan military.
So if the imaginary enemy confrontation drill is cancelled, what new training subjects will be added? Street fighting drills are the focus of this year. According to media reports on the island, a senior Taiwan military official revealed that due to the growing disparity in military power between the two sides in recent years, the Taiwan military envisioned resisting the People's Liberation Army's attacks at sea and in the air during the "Han Kuang Military Exercise" in previous years. The plan now seems to be increasingly unrealistic, so it began to follow the "asymmetric warfare" suggestions summarized by the United States based on the Russia-Ukraine conflict and tried to drag the People's Liberation Army into urban street fighting.
Taiwan’s top military officials even revealed that in order to show that the exercise is closer to “actual combat”, a large number of participating troops and equipment will frequently appear on the streets during the “Han Kuang Exercise 40”, which requires the people on the island to be mentally prepared. However, netizens on the island did not buy it. For example, not long ago, according to media reports on the island, the "Reserve Command" of Miaoli County in Taiwan sent an official document to major temples in the county, hoping to ask the temples to help sign an "Ammunition Preparatory Point Support Agreement" ”, the content mentioned that it was expected that ammunition would need to be transported to the open space inside the palace before the war.

Netizens commented one after another, "Ammunition needs to be hidden in the secret place of the cave. Only high-level military officials who fish in troubled waters have such drills." There is also analysis by Taiwanese military experts. According to the current Russian The experience of the Ukrainian battlefield was that the Russian Aerospace Force only needed 4 glide bombs to level the building where the Ukrainian army’s frontline headquarters was located. Hiding ammunition in palaces and temples is obviously not safe and reliable.
Secondly, whether from the perspective of personnel or equipment, it is difficult for the Taiwan military to gain an advantage. Currently, there are only about 89,000 Taiwanese military ground troops, of which 75% are officers and non-commissioned officers. This presents a situation of “officers but no soldiers”, and a large number of main battle force personnel are severely understaffed. Similarly, the Taiwan military also lacks light and heavy weapons for street fighting. For example, not long ago, the United States approved a new round of arms sales to Taiwan worth US$360 million, including hundreds of cruise missiles and drones. The original intention is to strengthen the Taiwan military's "asymmetric combat" capabilities, but in actual combat it is extremely vulnerable to electromagnetic suppression and interference by the People's Liberation Army, and thus cannot function.
Finally, the Taiwan military exercise will also practice the US military’s distributed command model, which “empowers subordinates with decision-making power and decentralized execution power appropriate to the situation.”However, relying solely on the new version of the rules of engagement (roe) card, whether commanders at all levels dare to take responsibility and dare to issue orders, and whether there will be a situation of "fighting chaos and fighting indiscriminately", I am afraid that the Taiwan military leaders themselves have no idea. end. What's more, "independent warfare", or even urban street fighting in the end, most needs the support of "spiritual combat power". This pair of people have never known "who to fight for and why to fight", and the "undercurrent" of retirement and resistance to war is surging. "For the Taiwan military, it is even more of a big test.
In the final analysis, in the face of the absolutely powerful strength of the People's Liberation Army, the "Hanguang Military Exercise" is just a "performance show" used by the DPP authorities to comfort themselves and embolden them. Acting over and over again, it's all just a show, but it can't change the outcome of "Taiwan independence will perish".
