The worst-case scenario expected was simply having to rely on their legs to walk after landing and carrying the numerous weapons and equipment on their shoulders.
For Gao Yuan, who had been driven by car through all the difficult roads, the absence of vehicles was already the biggest problem, but he discovered he was still too young.
No sooner had they landed than they encountered combat — the kind of intense fighting where gunfire filled the sky. That was going to be tough.
Dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people might just use rifles and hand grenades to fight, adding at most mortars and rocket launchers. That sort of battle could be considered low-intensity combat.
If the number of people was not large, but both sides of the conflict used heavy weapons, that meant high-intensity combat. As for how intense, that would depend on the specific circumstances of the engagement.
