In the first battle, the Rocket Army was used to break out the war, aiming to implement the tactic of "drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle" against the enemy

Although China's rocket force was established for a relatively short time, until 2015, when the state officially ordered the establishment of the rocket force, but before that, as the "second artillery corps" subordinate to the army, in fact, it has always been one of China's most powerful strike forces. Today, the Rocket Force not only has intercontinental missiles equipped with various nuclear warheads, but also a large number of medium and short-range ballistic missiles equipped with conventional warheads, land-based long-range cruise missiles, etc. In addition to maintaining strategic deterrence, it also has a powerful strike capability at the operational and tactical levels.

In the event of a war breaking out in China's neighborhoods, including the Taiwan region, the Rocket Force will be the first batch of troops to be put into combat. Its long-range precision strike capability makes it a key force, and the targets to be attacked by the Rocket Force mainly include targets at the campaign and tactical levels.

In modern warfare, air supremacy is seen as a vital primary factor. With its high-speed and flexible response capabilities, the Air Force has become an indispensable force in providing efficient fire support to the Army and Navy. In the initial phase of the war, the first task of the Rocket Forces is to quickly destroy the enemy's key nodal-type targets, including airfields, ports, radar stations and positions of air defense systems. The destruction of airfields helps to limit the activities of enemy aviation, while the destruction of ports is intended to weaken enemy naval forces. Strike radar stations and air defense positions to provide a clear and unobstructed space for your air force to operate and eliminate potential threats.

The second key goal is to strike at the enemy's command and communications centers. By disrupting the connection between the enemy's command and the ranks, the Rocket Forces can throw the enemy into disarray, creating favorable conditions for the subsequent offensive of the army and navy. The military's command and communication system is analogous to the body's nervous system, transmitting signals and directing the actions of various troops. The long-range strike equipment of the rocket forces has the ability to accurately destroy the enemy's command and communication systems, causing the enemy's troops to lose effective command and fall into a state of disorganization and indiscipline, thus laying the foundation for the success of our army's operations.

The important role of the Rocket Forces in the war is manifested in a number of ways. First, by striking at the enemy's logistical support system, its combat effectiveness can be effectively weakened. The higher the degree of mechanization of the modern army, the greater its dependence on logistical support. This includes all kinds of ammunition, fuel, food, and clean drinking water. Targeting targets such as enemy transport hubs and rear warehouses, rocket artillery is capable of destroying them using long-range missiles, effectively weakening the enemy's combat effectiveness. Second, campaign-tactical ballistic missiles can influence the course of war to a large extent. China's rocket forces are equipped with missiles of various specifications**, such as Dongfeng-17, Dongfeng-21, Dongfeng-100, etc., and also have a large number of heavy long-range rocket artillery.

These ** are capable of carrying out precision strikes on any target within a depth of 4,000 kilometers around our country. As soon as these targets are destroyed, the enemy's armed forces fall into confusion or even collapse. It is precisely for this reason that the Rocket Force is of great importance.
