In all types of terrain, jungle warfare is the most difficult, without exception.

Note that jungle warfare is the most difficult, not the most dangerous, as urban warfare, especially indoor combat, is more dangerous and results in greater casualties.

However, in urban or indoor combat, if one side gains an absolute advantage, the terrain will not be the main factor determining the outcome.

Firepower can greatly or even completely negate the advantage of terrain. For example, if one side occupies a strong fortress during a battle, the other side can simply use artillery to level the fortress. If one shell is not enough, use ten; if ten shells are not enough, use one hundred. If artillery cannot solve the problem, use drilling bombs, thermobaric bombs, or even nuclear bombs. The fortress will eventually be destroyed.

The battlefield of urban warfare is bound to be small, with both sides concentrated in a city. No matter how big the city is, there will always be boundaries, so each separated battlefield in urban warfare is small, increasing the intensity and severity of the fighting infinitely.

But jungle warfare is different.

Of all terrains, the jungle is the most advantageous for the weak, as the characteristics of the rainforest render almost all high-tech weapons and equipment ineffective.

The jungle makes aerial reconnaissance almost ineffective. Reconnaissance satellites cannot penetrate the dense canopy, and reconnaissance planes are also useless. Night vision goggles can turn night into day, but thermal imaging cannot penetrate the dense vegetation for detection.

Without reconnaissance, firepower cannot be exerted. Carpet bombing can destroy a city, but cannot destroy vast rainforests. Artillery coverage has no clear target, and firing too much is a waste of ammunition.

It is impossible to use heavy combat equipment on a large scale in the rainforest. No one would be foolish enough to use tanks and armored vehicles for a guerrilla war in the rainforest. Large-scale airborne operations are impossible in the rainforest, and even helicopter air assault, the fastest and most flexible airborne attack method today, is greatly restricted in the rainforest.

Abandoning all advantages, using basic infantry and basic firepower, and engaging in low-intensity guerrilla warfare, is basically the final form of jungle warfare.

Therefore, the rainforest is a natural ally and even a natural protector of the weak. In Colombia, the guerrillas are the weak and the government is the strong, but the government army has been unable to eliminate the guerrillas of the Colombian armed group after decades of encirclement and suppression, even with an absolute advantage.

Compared to the guerrillas, Gao Guang and his team are absolutely weak, so the good news is that from now on, the rainforest has become their sanctuary.Never mind how long the guerrillas have been living here, or how familiar they are with the terrain. As long as the visibility in the rainforest doesn't exceed thirty meters, there's no such thing as a home field advantage.

Once you can't beat them and dive into the rainforest, it's impossible to find people. The rainforest can devour intruders on its own, but humans are not allowed to interfere.

Gao Guang understands the characteristics of jungle warfare. As a military enthusiast, if he doesn't know these basic knowledge, he cannot be considered a qualified hardcore military enthusiast. But he knows the difficulty and characteristics of jungle warfare, but he really doesn't know how to fight in the jungle.

Knowing the reason but not the cause, his theoretical knowledge even surpasses that of Frank and his men, but when he really enters the rainforest, not to mention the actual combat, just searching and advancing in the rainforest makes Gao Guang exhausted.

Feeling extremely ashamed, Gao Guang even began to sympathize with Rubber.

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

Among these four people, one is a rookie who has never been in the rainforest or fought before.

Excluding the rookie, among the remaining three veterans, there is a commander who has already had a mental breakdown.

After removing the commander who had a mental breakdown, there were only two people left who could still fight.

But this is not the end yet.

With only two people who can still fight, they have to carry out the most difficult hostage rescue mission in the most difficult jungle of all combat missions.

If this were a game, without a doubt, this would be a nightmare-level instance that must be cleared on the hell difficulty.

So Gao Guang really sympathizes with Rubber infinitely.

Rubber also really wants to follow in the footsteps of the captain. He is already on the verge of a mental breakdown.

After only walking a few dozen meters, Rubber knew how lazy he was to take over this mess. He stopped and made a gesture to stop, then raised three fingers with his right hand, pointing diagonally to the right front, and then withdrew his right hand and pointed to his eyes...

Advance towards the three o'clock position, with two people guarding each side and one observing behind, ready to stop and prepare for combat at any time.

Sign language cannot be used for particularly complex communication, only simple communication. So Rubber quickly and simply expressed several messages in sign language, but he quickly found that Gao Guang looked bewildered, while the captain was absent-minded.

Yes, Gao Guang cannot understand sign language.

Gao Guang is a military enthusiast, and he has studied sign language, but the problem is that sign language is not something that military enthusiasts can study.

Sign language is used most in special forces, but this battlefield's simple communication method cannot be unified, only confidentiality. Sign language cannot unify all gestures, only by joining a unit and becoming familiar with that unit can one know what the unit's exclusive sign language means.So when Rubber was using sign language, how could Gao Guang possibly know what it meant?

Luckily, he looked back and saw Rubber suddenly stop making hand gestures. He looked at Gao Guang and the captain helplessly, while the captain suddenly woke up like he was in a daze. After a start, he stared at Rubber and then made a gesture asking what he had just said.

Rubber didn't want to make a sound because in the rainforest, they relied almost entirely on sound to detect the enemy's whereabouts. But now, he had to speak up.

"Captain, can you pull yourself together?"

He signaled for George to be alert, and then retreated to the captain's side. He grabbed the captain's collar, extremely angry and helpless, but could only keep his voice very low, which made him feel like he couldn't express his anger.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".

"Caps isn't dead yet, how can we save him like this? That Kung Fu kid doesn't know anything, you at least have to protect our backs! Damn it, have you been listening to me? Don't act like you want to go die! "

He couldn't speak loudly, so he had to use force with his hands. Rubber shook the captain hard, and the captain became anxious and had to wave his hand to push Rubber away.

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

The captain's voice was a bit loud, and Rubber widened his eyes. The captain immediately lowered his voice and said, "I know what to do, don't worry about me."

"I'm worried about us!"

Rubber grabbed the captain again, and he said fiercely, "You've already killed Caps, do you want to kill all of us too? Four hundred million dollars is gone, but I don't want to lose my life here, bastard! Don't harm us anymore, okay? "

When he heard four hundred million dollars, the captain suddenly shuddered. His face was full of unwillingness and anger, but soon after he sighed lightly, he said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I... I'm okay now, don't worry about me."

Rubber helplessly let go of the captain and approached Gao Guang. He grabbed Gao Guang's collar, and said sternly, "Now, listen carefully to all the sounds nearby, follow behind me, don't get too close, but you must keep a distance where you can see me, understand?"

"I understand."

Rubber shook his head and sighed, "Let's keep going."

It was very hot in the rainforest because it was not a plateau, so it was extremely hot and humid. Sweat poured down, and Gao Guang felt like he couldn't take it anymore, but he wouldn't say he couldn't take it. He could only move forward step by step.After two hours of walking, Gao Guang was already disoriented until Rubber took out the GPS to confirm the direction and check the recorded route. Gao Guang then realized that they had only advanced 900 meters in a straight line, but had actually walked 4,200 meters.

4.2 kilometers in the rainforest is not the same as 4.2 kilometers on flat ground, let alone 4 kilometers on a road.

Rubber made a gesture to stop moving again. They had to rest now.

Resting was not an opportunity for idle chat. The four of them replenished their water, ate their food to replenish their energy, and rested in place for half an hour. Then Rubber stood up again and made a gesture to continue moving forward.

Just as Rubber made the gesture, they heard a faint voice from nearby.

The voice was not loud, almost inaudible, but after the sound came, the four of them were startled at the same time.

Rubber immediately made a gesture to hide. Even if Gao Guang couldn't understand, he followed suit when he saw the other three squatting down and hiding.

They hid for ten minutes, during which they heard no sound. Finally, Rubber pointed to Gao Guang, telling him not to move, and then pointed to Captain, telling him to be on high alert. Then Rubber and George slowly moved to try to find the source of the sound.

They waited for another half an hour.

After half an hour, Rubber and George came back.

The four of them gathered together for the first time to discuss.

"We found the enemy's camp."

Rubber looked serious and hopeless. He waved his hand and whispered, "We're less than 200 meters away from the enemy's camp, but no one has found us."

The camp in the rainforest could not be surrounded by sentries unless there were thousands of them.

Frank was a little confused. "Is the camp big?"

"It's very big and scattered. We can only see a part of it, but there's no doubt that this camp has been here for a long time because the houses are very old. So it's a complete and long-standing camp."

A complete and long-standing camp is not the kind of camp that is only temporarily stayed in and abandoned 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 lightly. He felt powerless and said, "I'll go and observe. If it's a permanent camp, then... maybe we can negotiate."
