Chapter 752: Jungle training

Military training began. Crazy Horse House’s team led a team of fifty people, and Lin Rui led a team of fifty people. l.
The training of the first team was carried out vividly and the atmosphere was warm. These Colombian soldiers were sweating like rain in the training ground behind the valley. Whether it is a variety of conventional training, or targeted tactics. This group is really hard working, and the soldiers are also hard training.
But the corresponding second team seemed silent. Lin Rui and others and a group of wounded soldiers from the o2 team were basking in the sun on the training ground, bragging lazily and spanking farts. Sergey and a few mercenaries were even more surrounded, gathering crowds to gamble in broad daylight, and the alcohol on his body could make people drunk.
There is no such thing as training in this group. They didn't need to train at all, because Jason and Lincoln had already pulled the trained team into the mountains. Without any supplies, without any equipment. God knows what kind of training they are doing.
Crazy Horse frowned slightly after learning of this situation. He felt a little strange about the training methods of Lin Rui and others. Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, frowning at the snake's eyes, "Maybe we underestimated the group of o2 people."
"What do you mean?" Snake Eye frowned.
"They took the troops out for training, without supplies and equipment. Obviously they were training jungle tactics, and it was a field survival mode. This is the best way to quickly adapt people to jungle operations." Crazy Horse whispered. "They know that one month is too tight. Instead of spending a lot of time on physical and regular training, they should take the troops directly into the mountains. They adapt quickly in a field environment. To exercise the team's teamwork and jungle guerrilla points."
"Is this a bit too radical" Marcus, who was in charge of the training of the first team, frowned. "Even if we can't proceed step by step, we can't completely give up these basic training."
"It seems that they are indeed like this now." Crazy Horse said slowly, "We took it carelessly. We didn't think of this at the beginning. Soldiers must have a recovery period after a lot of high-intensity physical training. We may not have enough time. Maybe after the end of one month, our soldiers will have to drag their tired bodies to deal with this situation.
As for them, it seems that they have given up physical training and other regular training, but they take their troops to drill in the ravines all day long. Relying on local materials to obtain food and water, strengthen teamwork spirit. Interspersed with various jungle tactics training, the soldiers' physical fitness has actually been trained. There is no need to focus on training. "
"Yes, marching in the mountains and jungles is originally a very physical consuming thing. There is indeed no need to strengthen physical fitness." Snake Eye nodded. "This Lin Rui is really cunning."
"Yeah, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The two Americans who led the team are also obviously masters in jungle warfare. That's why he is so confident, lying on the training ground and basking in the sun." Marcus sneered. "But I don't think that this will train real good players. The best way for military training is scientific and systematic training. Their unconventional practices are not worth promoting."
"But they are the easiest to cultivate dangerous jungle warfare experts." Snake Eye slowly said.
"Snake Eye is right." Crazy Horse said in a deep voice, "In the history of human warfare, jungle warfare has always been a headache for both warring parties. It is a challenge for both personnel and equipment. In other combat environments. The technical combat advantages of infantry are usually greatly reduced in the jungle or forest environment.
The most important factor determining victory or defeat is the region, that is, whether the fighter is absolutely familiar with the local environment. Soldiers must be particularly familiar with the local terrain, landforms and vegetation, climate and creatures, because these factors will become obstacles to his battles and help him in battles. They just want to use this to win. "
Crazy Horse is a true jungle warfare expert, and his analysis of the problem is very good.
The greatest combat value of the jungle is that it provides unparalleled concealment.
For example, during the Kosovo War in 1999, the Yugoslav Federation tried to hide a large number of troops in forests and jungles to avoid NATO air reconnaissance and strikes. According to NATO's assessment at the time, if ground forces were to be sent to occupy the Yugoslavia, jungle operations would likely cause huge losses. It is based on this consideration that NATO ultimately did not carry out a ground invasion of Yugoslavia.
During the entire Cold War period before this, the NATO Army continued to pay attention to combat issues in the forested areas of northern Europe. Even today, Western military experts still insist that if there is a war in Europe in the future, jungle warfare will still be unavoidable.
From the perspective of personnel density in wartime, even a small forest or forest with an area of ​​only 2 square kilometers can hide a certain number of military personnel, while a jungle of 5 square kilometers can hide an organizational unit.
Many people take it for granted that there are almost no ordinary civilians in the jungle, especially the virgin forest, so it is difficult for troops to stay in the jungle for a long time without the support of the people. This idea may have certain rationality for the Nordic cold zone forests, but this is not necessarily the case in tropical and subtropical forest areas.
In developing countries in the tropics, there are a large number of civilians living in the jungle, such as local residents or peasants, farmers, loggers living in the jungle. Relying on the inhabitants of the jungle and the good concealment of the jungle itself, rebel armed guerrillas and other low-level armed groups can survive and fight well.
If it is a guerrilla warfare, the jungle itself can provide part of the material because of the fertility of the tropical rain forest. However, the most advanced weapons and equipment in the contemporary era may not achieve the desired effect in the jungle. It is not easy to completely wipe out the guerrillas and militants in the jungle. This is also the reason why the Colombian guerrillas have been able to show up in the southern mountainous areas in spite of their attacks.
The reason why Jason and Lincoln trained was to turn this regular Colombian army into a guerrilla in the jungle in a short time.
If the two teams decide to win in this jungle environment, then the second team that knows the woods and terrain well will win the first team that has been training hard in the camp.
This is the essence of guerrilla warfare. If you make full use of the favorable terrain you are familiar with, it is not impossible to win more with less, or even the strong with the weak. In fact, countless similar examples can be found in military history.
The most classic is the Vietnam War, which once lost the face of the US military. More than 58,000 people died and more than 300,000 people were injured. The Vietnam War, which cost more than 400 billion US dollars, is a scar in the hearts of a generation of beauties. During this war, the Vietnamese militiamen who were familiar with the terrain repeatedly beat up the well-equipped American soldiers in the jungle.
"From tomorrow on, we will also pull our troops into the mountains for training." Crazy Horse cut the railroad.
