If the mainland uses force to "reunify Taiwan", how long can the Taiwan military hold out? According to a poll on the island, nearly 40% of people believe that they can hold out for more than 100 days, but this obviously underestimates the strength of the People's Liberation Army. In fact, reunification can be achieved in as long as 7 days or as short as 2 to 3 days.

A think tank on the island released a new poll data. If the mainland chooses to "attack Taiwan by force", more than half of the people believe that the Taiwan military will not last more than 100 days, but 38% of the people believe that it can last 100 days. But whether they believe it or not, they obviously overestimate the ability and strength of the Taiwan military. If the conflict in the Taiwan Strait is really inevitable, it will not take 100 days for the People's Liberation Army to complete the reunification. It may take as long as 7 days or as short as 2 days.

In this regard, Shuai Huamin, a retired lieutenant general of the Taiwan Army, said that if the PLA adopts a "first battle is a decisive battle" combat method, if the Taiwan Army cannot withstand the first blow, "it will be over in seven or three days." In addition, former DPP legislator Shen Fuxiong even said that if it can hold out for 100 days, Taiwan will be in ruins, so the poll should be changed to "can it hold out for a week."

So what means does the PLA have, or what means will it take, to quickly resolve the battle and achieve the reunification of the motherland?

First of all, the People's Liberation Army has an overwhelming advantage in equipment. In wartime, we can use a large number of precision-guided weapons, such as ballistic missiles, rockets, precision-guided bombs, etc. based on the existing intelligence and detailed intelligence provided by drones and reconnaissance satellites to carry out saturation strikes on important military targets on the island such as airports, ports, radar stations, military command centers, etc. Under this round of precision artillery strikes, the Taiwan military will lose most of its combat power in a short period of time and will find it difficult to organize large-scale and effective resistance.
