Yep. Trench warfare was a thing because effective communication was only possible through wires, and wires required fixed locations. Defense could be effectively coordinated, but advancing more than a couple thousand yards put attackers out of communication with commanders.
People like to argue that armored vehicles put an end to trench warfare, but it wasn’t really the armor or the vehicle. It was the radio carried inside those vehicles that allowed units to coordinate their attacks.
Then there was wireless, and that makes me think of the French or Dutch Resistance during WWII - units of even just one individual.
