Special forces can disrupt routes but cannot hold them for long

Could Chinese special-operations forces block roads through Taiwan's eastern terrain?

They might cause a delay for hours or perhaps a day, but they could not reliably hold routes against concentrated Taiwanese regular forces.

A small special-operations team might interrupt traffic or temporarily block a road. Holding that position would be much harder where Taiwan has substantial regular forces nearby. A twelve-person light-infantry team would face mechanized battalions with tanks and artillery. The anticipated disruption is measured in hours or perhaps a day. German attempts to misdirect American forces around the Battle of the Bulge provide a historical comparison for deception whose effects ended when the infiltrators were discovered.
