Chapter 11

Taichung City.

THE PLA’S 1st Amphibious Mech division, and 164th Marines were making progress pushing into the city. Much of their men and equipment was now ashore, with resupply underway. Attrition was high, a landing ship carrying most of the 1st Amphibious Mech’s armour and much of their artillery had been sunk by a JASSM missile and two others damaged in F18 attacks and missile strikes. Many Frigates and Destroyers were sunk or out of action. But the core of the PLAN task force was intact.

A few F18’s were shot down, but the damaged ones were diverted to Chiayi airbase 40 miles to the south, as Taichung City’s airport was under attack and in danger of being overrun.

But resistance ashore was building in strength. Down the 7 and 8th highways the ROC Army 10thArmy Corps with its Mechanized infantry brigade and Armor Brigade were offering stiff resistance east of the city. Close air support by the ROC air force and the Apache helicopters slowed the advancing PLA units. The 8th Army Corps had advanced up highways 3 and 21 and now were starting to press the invaders from the south.
