Jungle warfare, in the history of human warfare, is definitely the most troublesome type of battle.

We all know that the casualties of urban warfare are large, but the casualties of jungle warfare are not smaller than those of urban warfare, and large-scale jungle warfare in human history is much less than that of urban warfare, but every jungle warfare is accompanied by an extremely high casualty rate.

Militarily, jungle warfare usually refers to battles that take place in tropical forests, and the biggest trouble with jungle warfare is that forests provide unparalleled concealment for both warring parties.

Fighting in the jungle, the most important factor that determines victory or defeat is the regional factor, whether you are absolutely familiar with the local environment determines the success or failure of the battle, people who are particularly familiar with the local topography, vegetation, climate, and creatures, even if they only have the most basic weapons, will have the absolute upper hand, and if you don't know these at all, the rainforest itself will become the biggest obstacle.

High humidity and high heat, a lot of rainfall, are a severe test for people and equipment, and the extremely limited field of vision, so that excellent warriors in other environments, can only be helpless here, just imagine, Gao Yang is an excellent accurate marksman, he could have been hundreds of meters away or even thousands of meters away to solve the enemy, but in the rainforest with no vision at all, his long-range advantage is completely nullified.

The Old One's Mercenaries have a night vision device, so launching a night war is their most common option, but this is useful in any environment except the rainforest, and in the rainforest, with the shelter of trees and dense vegetation, whether it is a low-light night vision device or a thermal imaging night vision device, it is useless, and it still can't see far.

Heavy weapons are not to be used in the jungle. Tanks and artillery can't get in. The plane dropped the bomb and could not see the target. No matter what kind of heavy weapon, don't count on precision strikes, it's almost the same as playing carpet bombing, and the impact of the jungle environment on the battle is not limited to distance, but also the effect of firearms, trees will block bullets, and can also absorb blast blasts and debris.

The last two large-scale jungle battles, one was the Vietnam War fought by the U.S. military. One was the Vietnam War in China, and everyone knows that the US army paid a heavy price in the jungles of Vietnam, with the most advanced weapons, but the North Vietnamese guerrillas were helpless, and China, although victorious, also paid heavy casualties.

For the generals of China and the United States, the biggest headache for them was not the Vietnamese army, but the boundless jungle. Without the jungle, the Vietnamese would have been bombed to slag long ago. But with the jungle, the Vietnamese soldiers became monkeys that could jump up and down.

During the Vietnam War, the U.S. military used Agent Orange, which is a defoliant used to deal with trees rather than people, and in the self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam, in order to deal with the firepower points hidden by the Vietnamese army in the dense trees, the method used was large-scale intensive rocket artillery bombardment, waiting for the air wave of the rockets to blow up the vegetation, and then using the body cannon to end off the firepower points of the Vietnamese army one by one.

The United States and China are both very troublesome when fighting jungle warfare, not to mention those small and weak countries, and the rebels in Colombia have not been able to defeat them for decades, because the rebels can hide in the jungle as long as the war is unfavorable, and if there is no jungle, the rebels in Colombia would have been exterminated countless times.

Thinking of fighting jungle warfare, Gao Yang really felt a headache, the Satan mercenary group has an advantage in equipment and skills, but in the jungle, their advantage has been weakened to the lowest point, and the enemy is undoubtedly familiar with the rainforest, just by virtue of this, Gao Yang and they are completely on the inferior side, and once the enemy has the advantage in numbers and firepower, the result of the battle is very likely to be very, very miserable.

Gao Yang had never experienced jungle warfare, but he knew how terrible jungle warfare was, and after Gao Yang asked his question, Cui Bo said with a sad face: "Yes, when I get to the jungle, I will be useless." ”

Gao Yang sighed and said, "Have any of us fought in a jungle war?"

Grolev smiled bitterly and said: "Jungle warfare, I have fought in the Congolese rainforest, I have to say, jungle warfare is really difficult to fight, but fortunately, I am facing the Congolese rebels, their combat effectiveness is very low, and they cannot fully play the advantage of being familiar with the jungle, but despite this, we still paid a great price." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Tommy also whispered: "I have fought in the forest, but not in the rainforest, so I can't say that I am familiar with jungle warfare, but I still know some about fighting in the forest, at least I know how to fire in the forest." ”

Gao Yang was very interested, and said, "Oh? Tell me, you fought in the forest there?"

Tommy said in a deep voice: "In 1999, during the Kosovo War, in order to avoid NATO bombing, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia deployed a large number of troops in the forest. ”

Gao Yang was very pleased and said: "Very good, very good, although it is not a rainforest, but at least you have some experience." ”

Bruce said in a deep voice: "Colombians, not those stupid people in Congo, they are all experts in jungle warfare, big dog, how much do you know about jungle warfare?"

Grolev pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: "I can't be called an expert, but I have some understanding, my time in Congo is not very short, so I have some experience, but it must be far from those natives living in the jungle, and the environment of the Congo rainforest and the Amazon rainforest is not the same." ”

Gao Yang shrugged his shoulders and said: "You see, the problem is here, I would rather go to the North Pole to fight than go to the Amazon rainforest, don't forget, the environment of the Amazon rainforest is even worse than the Congo rainforest, so you can think about whether to go to Colombia." ”

Frye laughed, "What is there to consider, no matter where he is, Satan is not afraid." ”

"It's really disgusting to fight in the rainforest, but as long as we're prepared, I think we can still go," Grolev said. ”

Bruce also smiled: "I know that jungle warfare is difficult, but I want to complete this mission even more, the British said that if you can fight in the jungle, you can fight in any corner of the world, I want to try it in the jungle." ”

The attitude of several people remained the same, and they were still determined to go to Colombia, Gao Yang nodded, and said, "Very good, then we are sure to go to Colombia now, Tommy, do you have any ideas?"

Tommy shook his head and said, "You are the regiment commander, you can go if you say you go, you won't go if you don't go, I don't have any personal opinions, and besides, if I participate in the battle, I will get a bonus, I am very much looking forward to this trip to Colombia." ”

Gao Yang clapped his hands and said: "Okay, since we have reached an agreement, then we have to consider the issue of equipment now, our current equipment is definitely not suitable for jungle warfare, so, we have to change our clothes comprehensively, as a newcomer, Tommy, you will get a complete set of equipment, communication equipment and clothing are universal, but the weapon is designated by you personally, now talk about your requirements." ”

Tommy said without hesitation: "My positioning must be a gunner first, so I need a mortar, just one barrel is fine, if you can choose, can you give me a Huaxia PP8960 mm mortar?" This gun is very lightweight, I can carry it alone, although the barrel is a little longer, but the maximum range can reach 2700 meters, and the advantage of the increased range is that I can make two shells land at the same time, and the third shot, although there will be a slight time difference, but it can ensure that the time difference is within half a second.

In addition, I also wanted the PP93 60mm long-range mortar, this gun has a somewhat long barrel, but the weight is acceptable, and the range can reach almost 5600 meters, and when necessary, I can get the maximum range I need, and the accuracy is not as bad as a rocket launcher, but the biggest problem with the PP93 for me is that it is a little difficult for me to operate alone, of course, I mean with only one barrel. ”

Gao Yang immediately said: "Do you only need these two mortars? Of course this is no problem, is there any other need? Also, I want to know if your choice is to be used in jungle warfare this time, or will it be used under normal circumstances in the future?"

Tommy thought for a moment and said, " There is nothing else, other guns are too heavy, as for the ones to be used this time, I think only the PP 89 and 63 are needed, the total length of the barrel of the PP89 is 830 mm, and the 63 is only 550 mm, in comparison, it is more convenient to still 63, but the long range of PP89 also means greater instantaneous firepower density for me, so when I don't know what kind of situation we are going to face, I can't make an accurate judgment, the best choice is to make a decision after arriving in Colombia, and then make a decision after figuring out what we have to face。 ”

Gao Yang is very satisfied with Tommy's rigorous attitude, it is a good habit to choose different weapons in different situations, as for mortars, which are cheap and sufficient, Tommy can as many as he wants, even if he throws a mortar in a battle, it doesn't matter, the Type 63 mortar is only a few hundred dollars a piece, as a disposable weapon, and it is not painful to throw it after the shells are exhausted.

Gao Yang looked at Ulyanko and said, "Your business has come to the door, what Tommy wants, it's not a problem for you, right?"

Ulyanko said with a smile: "Of course, I don't need to prepare it for you personally, when you arrive in Colombia, all kinds of mortars will be picked up by you, and Southern Industry has exported a large number of 60mm mortars to Africa and South America, PP 9 and PP 93 are a lot, as for the 63 type, it is everywhere, I will ask my colleagues to prepare it for you."
