The report stated that the military plan, drawn up by the Nanjing military district, allowed for several phases: first a blockade of Taiwan by mainly air and naval forces; then the occupation of Kinmen, Matsu, and the Pescadores (islands in the Taiwan Strait); and finally a bombing and amphibious assault of Taiwan itself.
報導說，這個作戰草案由中共南京軍區研訂，分幾個階段進行：先以海空軍為主，封鎖台灣；再佔領金門、馬祖二島和澎湖群島；最後對台灣本島轟炸並登陸作戰。
