Briefing

Task:

You are to attack and destroy key Taiwanese air defense, political and military targets within 24 hours using key nuclear and conventional forces at your disposal. The objective is to quickly paralyze the Taiwanese military and shock the rebel population, which in the wake of significant American defeats in the region should force the rebel government to the negotiating table under favorable terms.

Critical Targets

Timeline:

24 Hours

ROE

You are to use the available nuclear weapons in your arsenal to conduct an EMP attack (high-altitude detonation) on Taiwan's air defense system only. You are not to strike the island itself with these weapons unless otherwise ordered.

Threat:

Taiwanese air, sea and land forces have been on high alert since the war began and could conduct defensive and offensive operations against China at any moment. Expect counterattacks from known and unknown threats.

Known Order of Battle

ROCAF

The ROCAF is on high alert as well as significant numbers of Sky Bow, Patriot and Antelope air defense systems. Intelligence has detected combat air patrols over the island and aircraft and ready in hardstands. Command expects heavy resistance.

ROC Navy

Several ROCN ship patrols are at sea.

ROC Army

The Army does maintain a significant number of Hsiung Feng IIIE cruise missiles as a counterforce, and is expected to use them if attacked.

Assets:

PLAAF Orbat

PLAN

PLAN 2201-2206, PLAN 2225-2230 Type 022 Houbei PTM

Execution

You are to air-burst your nuclear DF-31 warheads at high altitude in proximity to critical rebel defense systems, and then attack your assigned targets at your discretion. Please be sure that all friendly force radars are off to prevent significant sensor damage to friendly forces. You should reactivate your radar systems once complete (change EMCON to the "AD" and "EW" missions to "Active").
