753.Chapter 753: Wild Jungle
> the hot and humid slopes of the dense forest, all this qiē will make the long trek in the jungle very uncomfortable.
() > set off from the manor where Jason was leading, where they didn't bring out any food.
Because he wants to make all the trained team members aware that there is food in the jungle that can provide energy.
They completed the journey of several hours with relative ease.
However, the further you go deeper into the woods, the harder it becomes.
> in the hot Colombian jungle with high humidity, even just standing there will cause your body to sweat.
Slowly, before the most difficult journey began, the shirts of all the Colombian soldiers were already soaked with sweat, forming a larger shadow of concentric circles.
Unfortunately, in the jungle, anything that gets wet will stay that way forever.
> for these soldiers, the opportunity to rest is always short-lived, because once their breathing begins to steady and they no longer breathe, they have to embark on a longer journey.
This road of ups and downs is always accompanied by unbearable heat that never leaves.
Along the way, they crossed a river in the forest countless times, but the river still appeared in the jungle oasis.
> hike through the jungle like being grilled in the oven.
During the break, Jason did not let the soldiers sit idle, shouting at them.
Roaring in their ears.
> "The high temperatures, high humidity and heavy rainfall in the jungle pose a serious challenge to your people and to the weapons in your hands. The dense vegetation greatly reduces the range of weapon sensors and communication equipment, and human endurance and weapon-carrying capacity are also severely weakened. > jungle environment has an impact on firearms that is not only the scope of action, but also the final effect. Trees are effective at absorbing explosive fragments, while leaves are effective at refracting bullets fired from dense fire. ”
Jason shouted some tired Colombian soldiers.
"However, it is at this time that the ability to be a soldier himself will really come to the fore. Whoever is more comfortable with this qiē will be the winner. ”
>"But we now have helicopters, we have GPS. Who needs such a jungle trek, and the most primitive way of finding directions? I don't mean that our training is meaningless, but at least we should know that we can have other more convenient means. For example, heavy weapons, such as precision missiles. ”
A Colombian soldier frowned.
> "That's a good question. ”
Jason said slowly, "But I can tell you that in any jungle battle in history, the Heavy Weapons Department was not the protagonist, and this is still true to this day. Precision-guided weapons, which are now widely worshipped, still have problems in the jungle. >Since there is never a shortage of wood in the jungle, it is easy to build a sturdy wooden warehouse or even a deep underground passage. These buildings and fortifications made of wood are difficult to target with precision, so the role of precision-guided weapons is severely affected. The jungle will tend to return the level of weaponry of the opposing sides to the same running line - light weapons. ”
>", and the maximum limit for light weapons is still a matter of distance. Even with small arms with a range of less than 50 metres, there are difficulties in locating and correcting indirect aiming fire. At the same time, it also makes it extremely easy for soldiers to move in the wrong direction if they misjudge the direction of the first bullet, and thus fall into a very dangerous situation. ”
Lincoln continued.
"So at the end of the day, weapons are just tools, and people are the root of solving problems. That's what you're training for. ”
> "What about helicopters? There are many opinions that helicopters will play an important role in the tactical maneuvering of jungle warfare. Didn't your U.S. military often use helicopters to cooperate with small groups of troops to move quickly during the Vietnam War?"
Another Colombian soldier frowned.
> "If you know the Vietnam War, then you should know that in the end we lost." ”
Jason said slowly, "Because in the jungle, it is safest to win the war with your legs." Due to the influence of the wet and thick vegetation in the jungle, the satellite signal of GPS is greatly attenuated, and it is difficult to locate in the jungle. >Even today, the limitations of helicopters in jungle warfare are obvious: helicopters work in high temperatures and humidity, and their engines and transmissions are severely damaged and broken. Despite the fact that modern gunships are equipped with protective armor, helicopters are still vulnerable to ground fire. And the anti-aircraft light weapons in the jungle are very concealed. Helicopters flying over the jungle are often fatally threatened by anti-aircraft machine guns, small-caliber anti-aircraft guns and even shoulder-mounted infrared anti-aircraft missiles. The troop movement will have to re-rely on traditional maps and compasses. > many times, trekking will be the main mode of jungle warfare, and it is very difficult, in some extremely difficult areas, the daily march speed will be less than 5 kilometers. That's why we train you in this way. In dealing with jungle warfare, it is difficult to count on equipment, and the environment is so harsh, the only way left is to strengthen the training of personnel!"
>"It's like the British say: if you can fight in the jungle, you can fight anywhere in the world." ”
Lincoln said slowly, "The rigors of jungle warfare will produce the most powerful infantry specialists. It is possible for each of you to become a true expert, but for now you must first familiarize yourself with the qiē of this place. ”
> "Yes, sir. But how long are we going to keep going like this?"
A Colombian soldier frowned.
> "For a whole month, this month you have to live in the jungle. Try to find your own food, find your own hiding place, and bury your urine. Avoid exposing your actions because of these small things. You must develop the same keen senses as the animals of the forest. Learn to use your ears to the fullest, with your eyes and nose. ”
Jason said in a deep voice, "It's not easy, but when you meet my requirements, I'll teach you the next step, fighting." ”
> "In other words, these trainings we have now are not even combat training?"
A Colombian soldier couldn't help but ask.
"What's that?"
>" Adaptive training. It's like the cohort training that each and every one of you has received. Modern warfare is no longer the Napoleonic era of marching and firing in neat formations. But platoon training is retained, why? Because it is necessary to use guò training to accompany the sense of obedience to orders and train the coordination and cooperation of basic combat units. This is actually a kind of adaptive training in disguise. ”
Lincoln said, "The break is over." Give me all to get up and march. ”
> these Colombian soldiers were tired like dogs by them, and they had to find their own food, and they were not allowed to use open flames to cook food, only raw food.
These Colombian soldiers, under such pressure, are increasingly resembling their Indian ancestors who lived in the jungle.
Tough and wild.
