Amid increasing military pressure from China, the Taiwanese military conducted a drill on the 23rd with the assumption that it would repel the enemy who landed from the northern coast.
The drill took place near the fishing port of Taoyuan in the north facing the Taiwan Strait, where landing ships resembling enemy ships approached where they could be seen with the naked eye, and soldiers landed on the beach using amphibious vehicles.
Then, assuming that some of the enemy units had evaded the counterattack of the Taiwanese army and entered the urban area, tanks and armored vehicles were dispatched to the roads to surround and repel the opponents.
We didn't use live ammunition, but the sound of gunfire sounded as if it were a real battle as civilians and cars passed.
In addition, we confirmed procedures such as rescuing wounded soldiers while the battle is still going on and emergency repairs to broken down armored vehicles.
The training was conducted about 30 kilometers from the center of Taipei, where the Presidential Office is located, and only about 3 kilometers from Taoyuan International Airport, and is expected to be one of the main landing targets in the event of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
For Taiwan, being able to stop the adversary from advancing here is crucial, and as China's military pressure mounts, it is trying to increase its practical capabilities to defend Taiwan through such exercises.
