The People's Liberation Army (PLA) Army, after more than 70 years of construction, has now developed into a synthetic military service with strong firepower, assault power and high mobility. It has infantry, artillery, armor, engineering, communications, chemical defense, and other specialized services, as well as electronic countermeasures, surveying and mapping, and aviation forces.

Infantry has mountain infantry, motorized infantry, mechanized infantry, infantry is on foot or by armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles to implement the mobility and combat service, is the main force of ground combat.

Artillery, including ground artillery, anti-aircraft artillery and ground-to-air missile forces, artillery is a variety of suppression artillery, anti-tank artillery, anti-tank missiles and battle tactical missiles as the basic equipment, attempting to ground fire assault mission of the service.

Armored forces in the establishment of tank units and armored infantry units as the main body, but also artillery, anti-tank missiles, air defense, chemical defense, engineering and other services to ensure that the Ministry (sub) team, equipment in addition to the main battle tanks, as well as land and water tanks, light tanks, minesweeper tanks, anti-tank missile launchers, etc.;

Engineering by engineers, boats and bridges, construction, engineering maintenance, camouflage, field water supply engineering and other professional department (sub) team;

The Second Artillery of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), or Second Artillery, is a branch of the military that is primarily equipped with strategic ground-to-ground missiles and is tasked with strategic nuclear counter-strike operations.

The Second Artillery of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), formed on July 1, 1966, consists of ground-to-ground strategic missile units and conventional battle tactical missile units. Its main mission is to deter the enemy from using nuclear weapons against China, and when the enemy launches a nuclear attack against China, it follows the orders of the Commander-in-Chief to carry out limited but effective self-defense counterattacks against the enemy independently or jointly with the strategic nuclear forces of the other military branches, and to strike at the enemy's important strategic targets.

The ground-to-ground strategic missile force is a major nuclear deterrent and strategic nuclear counterattack force with a certain scale and operational capability. It consists of near-range, medium-range, long-range and intercontinental missile forces, engineering forces, combat security, equipment and technology support and logistics support forces, and is a major nuclear deterrent and strategic nuclear counterattack force with a certain scale and actual combat capability.

The Conventional Battle Tactical Missile Force is a force equipped with conventional battle tactical missile weapon systems and attempts conventional missile assault missions. It consists of short-range, medium- and short-range conventional missile forces, engineering forces, combat security, equipment and technical support and logistics support forces.

At present, the Second Artillery has built a number of combat positions of different models and different launching modes, initially formed a variety of models of missile weaponry systems, rapid maneuvering combat capability and the ability to accurately hit the target has been further improved, and is playing an important role in defending the security of the society and safeguarding world peace.

China's development of nuclear weapons and the formation of strategic nuclear forces are for defense, to break the nuclear monopoly, to oppose nuclear blackmail and to contain nuclear war. The nuclear counterattack is forced, and the ultimate goal is to eliminate nuclear weapons and nuclear war and safeguard China's independence and security.

The Chinese government has repeatedly and solemnly declared that China will not be the first to use nuclear weapons at any time or under any circumstances, and will not use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon States or nuclear-weapon-free zones. However, in the event of a nuclear attack, it will not hesitate to implement a nuclear counterattack and carry out limited but effective nuclear retaliation.

The leading organs of the Second Artillery are the Command, Political Department, Logistics Department, and Equipment Department, under which the basic organizational levels are base, brigade, and battalion.

The Second Artillery is equipped

with a variety of types of ground-to-ground strategic missiles and battle tactical conventional missiles, including short-range (range within 1,000 kilometers) missiles, medium-range (range 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers) missiles, long-range (range 3,000 to 8,000 kilometers) missiles, and intercontinental ballistic missiles (range over 8,000 kilometers). They have the ability to be launched under various complex meteorological conditions during day and night. These missiles are characterized by their long range, high destructive and anti-personnel power, high hit accuracy, and high surprise and survivability. There are combat command, protection engineering and other facilities to support them. Can be fixed launch, can also be mobile launch, and thus has a strong survivability.
