Straight News: The US media disclosed the preparation content of the US military being setting up the "coastal combat group" with the goal of "fighting China".What is the "coastal combat group", does it have anything to do with the US Navy's coastal combat ship?
Special commentator Wu Wei : The research and development of each weapon and equipment, or the preparation and design of the combat forces, must be derived from a complete strategy and tactical thought, not the one of the brain one.The shot was on the horse, but moved and moved.
If you just look at the name, everyone may feel that the "coastal combat group" seems to have such a little connection with the U.S. Navy's coastal battleships.But in fact, from the concept of combat, this is a specific product of the two historical periods.
The background of the birth of the coastal battleship was that after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Cold War announced that "a temporary came to an end." At that time, the U.S. military could not find the opponent on the rivers and lakes.But a Gulf War made the U.S. military find a new direction.In the siege of the Iraqi Saddam regime, the U.S. military, especially the U.S. Navy, realized that the ammunition efficiency of the aircraft carriers was still not ideal.Especially when there are few countries that have the ability to compete with the United States to fight for sea power, how to accelerate the process of the war and quickly push the front to the prefecture's exclusive economic zone, so that the U.S. military can more conveniently exert the advantages of firepower to specific goals?So in 1992, the U.S. Navy minister drafted from sea to land -preparing a white paper for the US Navy into the 21st century.The large -scale stealth destroyer of the coastal battleship and Jumwalt was born.In a word, the coastal battleship is designed by the US military with the "no big country opponent". It is used to achieve a specific tool for achieving fast arrival, cutting -edge existence, and dominating the ocean.Essence
However, the real world in 2020 exceeded the imagination of the US military.The rise of a emerging country made the US military who claimed to be the world's ocean hegemony realized that the opponent appeared.
The U.S. Marine Corps announced in March 2020 the army design 2030 plan, emphasizing that the combat capabilities of "making land to the sea" are the main development directions.Have you ever come back? 30 years ago, Americans were still thinking about how to "from the sea to the land". After 30 years, Americans began to think about how to "make the sea".This is the background of the birth of the American Marine Corps "Littochurium". Americans are not confident. They feel that the sea is no longer monopolized by them. They have to find ways to curb this emerging force of "facing the sea and deep blue".Essence
Although the "coastal combat group" is called a regiment, there are only about 2,000 people in actual preparation. There are a lot of firepower units and battlefield monitoring units.This is because in the idea of the U.S. military, this is a "lonely army guarding the island", and the simplification of the number also partially gets rid of the high dependence on logistics support.From the perspective of the preparation structure, the "coastal combat group" is composed of coastal combat camps, coastal air defense camps, and combat logistical support camps as the basic unit.The command agency is a regiment -level command post, responsible for command control, remote surveillance, fire integration, information and network tasks, etc.
The combat mission of the "coastal combat group" is to adhere to individual key islands, use anti -ship missiles, air defense missiles, and accurately guide rockets and other weapons to prevent the immeasurable sea and air forces from breaking through the island chain and penetrating the ocean.After some description, everyone should have understood what the U.S. military is tossing.In a word, the U.S. military is forming a "carrying troops". Once the East China Sea, Taiwan Straits, and South China Sea have happened, the task of this unit is to drag the PLA's sea and air forces.In a specific direction, the troops are launched, while waiting for the main force of the U.S. military, that is, the aircraft carrier strike brigade and the amphibious expeditionary brigade comes to the war.
straight news: In recent times, we noticed that the United States is strengthening diplomatic and military collaboration with Asia -Pacific countries such as Japan and the Philippines.Is there any connection between the US military for the establishment of the "coastal combat group"?
Special commentator Wu Wei : This intuition is very right. This series of actions is inherited.As I just mentioned, the use scene of the "coastal combat group" was to secretly enter the island, hidden development, and delayed falsifying the enemy's air forces into the ocean.Well, the "coastal combat group" will be very intriguing on which islands will be on.
It is not difficult to see the map of the map. On the so -called "first island chain" at the core of Taiwan, Star Luo is a large number of islands.The northeast is mainly Japan's Amami Island, Okinawa, Miyako Island, and Kaiguo.Once these dense islands enter the U.S. "coastal combat group", they may block a series of channels leading to the Western Pacific.
Once a major change in the situation in the Taiwan Strait, the PLA's sea and air forces broke through the so -called "first island chain", launched troops in the Western Pacific east of Taiwan, surrounded the Taiwan Island.The involvement of the forces of the field will be our most ideal "martial arts" method.And the United States tossed everything in order to destroy our troops smoothly on this line.
Therefore, whether the United States is attracting Japan, the Philippines, or deliberately provoking Sino -Japanese relations, China -Philippine relations, and amplifying the specific contradictions and controversy between China and the above countries in some specific directions are all military in the direction of the Taiwan Strait.The conflict is pre -deployed.
In fact, as early as twenty years ago, the relevant national departments had conceived with the bottom line of thinking. Once the Taiwan Strait had an accident, some external forces may take this opportunity to challenge the surrounding countries to live together and promote the so -called "three sea linkage"., Further worsen China's surrounding marine safety environment.
After the military reform, the major theater divided by the strategic direction and the liability of the campaign basically specified that when the "when that day came", the land, sea, air, sky, and sky, heaven, and sky, and the southern theater in the northern theater, the eastern theater, and the southern theater.What tasks will the network shoulder and what will be dealt with.
In a sense, it is precisely the United States.As I mentioned earlier, they are expected to look like 2020 in 1992, and everything now is "evil supplement and catching up."The founding of New China will be 75 years old. How do we rely on generations of people to run down -to -earth, let our opponents mistake the situation again and again.In the end, I still believe in that sentence: development is the last word, and truth is within the range of artillery.
