Seek tactic analysis on this China Army "Amphibious assault"
"My problem is that, is this actual propaganda or they actually will carry it out. If they are willing to give up bodies, will it actual work."
Middle of the day and initial assault wave carried by guys in open launches bailing over the sides? This is a joke, right? Troops moving with sleeves up? Orange "shoot me" life jackets as standard issue? How serious can this be?
It's a photo op...and an embarassment at that. Seriously embarassing and an insult to the ROC troops they'd actually face.
Were that a U.S. rifle company in the defense I'm confident that those launches would have been completely holed offshore. Those Chinese troops aboard would have found practical use for their life jackets at that point. OTOH, I'm confident that a mid day assault would have included smoke, NGF prep, CAS and attack aviation along with an air assault over the heads of the defending beach force.
This was silly. In extremis.
