Firepower is king.

Chapter 43 Hell Level Difficulty

Among all terrain battles, jungle warfare is the most difficult, and none of them.

Note that jungle warfare is the most difficult, not the most dangerous, because street warfare, especially indoor warfare, is more dangerous than jungle warfare, and the casualties are also greater.

But whether it's street fighting or indoor fighting, as long as one of the two warring parties has an absolute advantage, the terrain will not be the main factor in determining the outcome.

The advantage of firepower can greatly or even completely eliminate the advantage of terrain. A simple example is that one side occupies a strong fortress during a battle, but the other side can directly raze the fortress to the ground with cannons. If one round is not enough, ten rounds will be used. If ten rounds are not enough, one hundred rounds will be enough. If the cannon can't solve the problem, then use ground-penetrating bombs, thermobaric bombs, or nuclear bombs if it doesn't work, which can always push the fortress completely.

The battlefield of urban warfare is destined not to be too large. The two warring parties are concentrated in one city to fight, and no matter how big the city is, there will always be boundaries. Therefore, each separate battlefield in urban warfare is narrow, which will infinitely increase the intensity and intensity of the battle. .

But jungle warfare is different.

Among all terrains, the jungle is the most favorable terrain for the weak, because the characteristics of the rainforest make almost all high-tech weapons and equipment ineffective today.

The jungle makes aerial reconnaissance almost ineffective. Reconnaissance satellites cannot penetrate the dense canopy, and neither can reconnaissance aircraft. Night vision devices can turn night into day, and thermal imaging cannot penetrate dense vegetation for detection.

Without detection, the firepower advantage cannot be brought into play. Carpet bombing can destroy a city, but it cannot destroy a vast rainforest. There is no clear target for artillery fire coverage, and no matter how many shots are fired, it is a waste of shells.

It is impossible to use heavy combat equipment on a large scale in the rainforest. No one would be so stupid as to use tanks and armored vehicles to conduct a blitzkrieg in the rainforest. It is impossible to conduct large-scale airborne operations in the rainforest. The most fast and flexible air assault method today has been greatly restricted in the rainforest.

Give up all advantages, use the most basic infantry in the rainforest, use the most basic firepower, and fight the most basic low-intensity and low-intensity guerrilla warfare, which is basically the final form of jungle warfare.

Therefore, the rainforest is the natural ally of the weak side, and it can even be said to be the natural protector.

In Colombia, the guerrillas are the weak side, and the Colombian government is the strong side. However, the government forces have besieged and suppressed the guerrillas for decades, and up to now there is no way to eliminate the Colombian armed guerrillas under the premise of an absolute advantage.

Compared with the guerrillas, Gao Guang and the others are absolutely weak, so the good news is that from now on, the rainforest has become Gao Guang's shelter.

Regardless of how long the guerrillas have lived here, regardless of how familiar they are with the terrain, as long as the line of sight in the rain forest cannot exceed [-] meters, then there is no home field advantage.

As long as you can't get into the rainforest, it's impossible to find people. The rainforest can swallow the intruders by itself, but humans are not allowed to intervene.

Gao Guang understands the various characteristics of jungle warfare. As a military fan, if he doesn’t know these basics, he can’t be considered a qualified hardcore military fan. However, he knows the difficulty and characteristics of jungle warfare, but he really doesn’t. How does jungle warfare work?

He knew it but didn't know why, and his theoretical knowledge even surpassed those of Frank and the others. But when he really entered the rainforest, let alone the battle, Gao Guang was exhausted just by searching and advancing in the rainforest.

Under the extreme self-ashamedness, even Gao Guang began to sympathize with Eraser.

There were only five people in total and one was arrested, and now there are only four people left.

And one of these four people is a rookie who has never been in the rainforest and never fought a war.

After removing the rookie, among the remaining three veterans, there is a commander who has collapsed.

After removing the mentally broken commander, there are only two people left who can still fight.

But this is not the end.

Relying on two people who can still fight, we must carry out the most difficult hostage rescue operation among all combat missions in the most difficult jungle.

If this is the game, there is no doubt that this is a nightmare level dungeon to be completed on the difficulty of hell.

So Gao Guang really infinitely sympathizes with the eraser.

Eraser really wanted to follow in the footsteps of the captain, who was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

After only walking a few tens of meters, Eraser knew how bad the mess he was taking over was. He stopped moving forward, raised his fist with his right hand as a gesture to stop moving forward, then stretched out three fingers, pointing obliquely to the front right, and then retracted his right hand to point Binocular...

Search forward to the three o'clock position, two people guard the sides, one observes behind, stop advancing at any time, and prepare for battle.

Sign language is impossible to communicate in a particularly complicated way, only simple communication, so Eraser quickly and simply expressed a few messages in sign language, but he soon found that Gao Guang looked dazed, while the captain was absent-minded.

Yes, Gao Guang can't read sign language.

Gao Guang is a military fan. He has studied sign language, but the problem is that sign language does not belong to the category that military fans can study.

Sign language is used the most in special forces, but it is impossible to unify sign language as a means of simple communication on the battlefield. It is only about confidentiality, and sign language cannot unify all gestures. Only after joining a unit and becoming familiar with the unit , it is possible to know what the sign language exclusive to this unit means.

So where is the rubber continuously using sign language, how could Gao Guang know what it means.

Fortunately, looking back, Eraser's hand that was forming a seal suddenly stopped. He looked at Gao Guang and the captain helplessly, but the captain stared at Eraser as if he had just woken up from a dream, and then immediately Made a gesture, meaning what you just said.

Eraser didn't want to make a sound, because in the rain forest, he almost relied on sound to find the enemy's tracks, but now, he couldn't do without talking.

"Captain, can you cheer up a little?"

Signaling for George to be alert, Rubber retreated to the captain. He grabbed the captain's collar, extremely angry and helpless, but could only keep his voice extremely low, which made him feel unable to show his anger.

"The bottle cap is not dead yet, how do you let us save him like this? Kung fu boy doesn't understand anything, you have to protect our back at least! Falk, are you listening to what I'm saying? Don't act like that. Look like you want to die, okay?"

He didn't dare to speak loudly, so he had to use force with his hands. The rubber shook the captain vigorously, and the captain was so anxious that he could only wave his hands and push the rubber away.

"I know, I didn't want to die!"

The captain's voice was a little loud, Rubber stared at him, the captain immediately lowered his voice, and said, "I know what to do, you don't have to worry about me."

"I'm worried about ourselves!"

The rubber grabbed the captain again, and he said viciously: "It's not enough for you to kill the bottle cap, do you want to kill all of us! If you don't have [-] million dollars, it's gone, but I don't want to lose my life here, bastard! You Don't hurt us again, okay?"

Hearing the [-] million dollars, the captain suddenly trembled, his face was full of unwillingness and anger, but soon, after he sighed softly, he said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I...I'm fine now, don't worry. worry about me."

Rubber let go of the captain with a helpless face, he approached Gao Guang, grabbed Gao Guang's collar, and said sharply: "Now put your ears up for me, listen carefully to all nearby sounds, and follow me. Don't get too close, but you must keep a distance where you can see me, understand?"

"Understand."

Eraser shook his head and sighed in a low voice, "Go ahead."

Gao Guang was ashamed, but all he could do was to follow the eraser's instructions, obediently following behind the eraser, moving forward bit by bit.

It is very hot in the rainforest, because this is not a plateau, so it is extremely hot and extremely stuffy.

Sweating profusely, Gao Guang felt that he could not bear it anymore, but he would not say that he could not bear it, he would just move little by little.

After walking for two hours, Gao Guang had already made no distinction between east, west and north. It was not until the eraser took out the GPS to confirm the direction, and checked the recorded action track, that Gao Guang discovered that their straight-line distance had advanced [-] meters, but the actual distance traveled was all [-] meters. Four thousand two hundred meters.

The [-] kilometers in the rainforest is different from the [-] kilometers on the flat land, and it is even more different from the [-] kilometers on the road.

Eraser gestured again to stop, and must rest now.

It was impossible to chat while resting. The four of them replenished their drinking water and ate the food they carried to replenish their physical strength. After resting in place for half an hour, Eraser stood up again and made a gesture to move on.

Eraser just made a gesture, but heard a faint voice not far away.

The voice was not loud, almost inaudible, but when the voice came, several people were shocked at the same time.

Eraser immediately made a concealed gesture, even if Gao Guang couldn't read it, it didn't matter, after seeing all three of them squatting down and hiding immediately, Gao Guang would of course also hide.

This hiding lasted for ten minutes, and within ten minutes there was no sound. Finally, Eraser pointed to Gao Guang, telling him not to move, and then pointed to the captain, telling him to be vigilant. Then Eraser and George walked slowly. Moving around, trying to find the source of the sound.

This wait was another half an hour.

Eraser and George came back half an hour later.

The four meet for the first time to discuss.

"The enemy's camp has been found."

Rubber had a dignified and desperate look on his face. He waved his hand and said in a low voice, "It's less than [-] meters away from us. We're on the edge of the enemy's camp, but no one found us."

A camp in the rainforest cannot be protected by a circle of sentries, unless there are thousands of sentries in the camp.

Frank asked a little confused: "Is the camp big?"

"It's very large and spread out, we can only see part of it, but there is no doubt that this camp has existed for a long time, because the houses are very old, so this is a complete large camp."

A complete camp that has existed for a long time is not the kind of camp that just stays for a short period of time and then abandons it after a few days, because it is really difficult to build a camp in the rainforest, and no one can easily abandon it.

Frank sighed softly, and said weakly: "I'll go and observe. If it's a permanent camp, then... maybe we can negotiate."

　Today is even later because I think this chapter is difficult, and then I can only work slowly and carefully. I would rather slow down than write casually in a hurry.

　　And now there are still few book reviews. I know that there are many great talents among book friends.
