On October 14, the Eastern Theater of the Chinese People's Liberation Army organized the army, navy, air force, rocket force and other forces of the theater to carry out the "Joint Sword-2024B" exercise in the Taiwan Strait, the northern part of Taiwan Island, the southern part of Taiwan Island, and the east of Taiwan Island. Senior Colonel Li Xi, spokesman for the Eastern Theater of Operations, said that this is a powerful deterrent to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces' act of seeking "independence" and a legitimate and necessary action to defend national sovereignty and safeguard national unity.
The exercise focused on such subjects as naval and air combat readiness and patrols, blockade and control of key ports and areas, sea and land strikes, and seizure of comprehensive control to test the actual combat capability of the theater troops. After the theater joint command center issued the action order, the warships and planes approached Taiwan Island in many directions, and all branches of the armed forces made joint assaults, creating a situation of multi-way encirclement.
In the Taiwan Strait, the northern part of Taiwan Island, the southwest of Taiwan Island, and the east of Taiwan Island, several destroyers of the Eastern Theater Navy carried out simultaneous exercises at multiple points.
After arriving at the predetermined sea area, the formation quickly launched combat deployment, and the armament system entered a state of fighting immediately after receiving orders. With the support of the joint system, the ship formation has continuously carried out exercises such as multi-domain closure and control, and seizure and control of key areas.
The Eastern Theater Air Force's fighter planes, bombers, and other advanced fighters rushed across the strait to attack and approach, and through the linkage of the warship and aircraft system and the encirclement of multiple routes, they quickly seized comprehensive control of the battlefield.
After taking off from several airfields along the southeast coast, various types of fighters have completed their assembly and headed for the mission airspace in accordance with their combat formations. Multi-type fighter planes have built an air supremacy combat system in battle formations, opened up air assault corridors, quickly seized control of the area, and supported and covered bombers to fly to the open sea through the Bass Strait to carry out coordinated strike exercises.
Hold the sword, and the horse. Upon hearing the order, a certain long-range box-type rocket artillery detachment of the army moved and quickly completed the assembly of personnel and the requisition of weapons and equipment.
The exercise focused on the joint closure and control of the firepower detachment and the mobile support of the high alert state to organize the exercise, and comprehensively improve the firepower rapid response capability and system response ability.
A certain brigade of the Rocket Force moved to the combat area overnight, quickly completed preparations for launch, established a state of high alert, and immediately launched a multi-model, large-volume, and multi-wave simulated firepower strike against the predetermined target, and quickly organized the wave change, occupied the launch position, and launched a follow-up strike at any time at the order.
