Chapter 21 The Battle of Ramodro Prison (1)
The CIA was puzzled by the appearance of Stinger missiles in South America, which were supposed to fight the Soviet Union in South Asia. On the other hand, the group of mercenaries from the Dutch island of Aruba who had cooperated with Ivankov had also begun their new tasks. (www.k6uk.com)
This time Ivankov and Yuri not only supported Escobar's operation materially, but also provided personnel assistance. Ben Ali's original clients, the Dutch gangs, now rarely provide them with jobs, so when Ivankov recommended them the Medellin Group in the famous Latin American town, these mercenaries took over the task without hesitation.
Escobar is preparing for a large-scale prison robbery this time, and the target is the most notorious La Modelo prison in Colombia.
Speaking of La Modelo Prison makes even the toughest criminal tremble. Because this prison is definitely a forbidden place in the eyes of all prisoners. Not only is the security heavily guarded here, but the most terrible thing is the harsh environment. The Ramodello Prison, which was originally designed to accommodate 2,000 people, has now been filled with 13,000 people.
Although the number of prisoners is large, it is not the worst. The most terrible thing is that these 13,000 prisoners have different backgrounds, from guerrillas of left-wing radical organizations to senior members of right-wing military organizations, from supporters of the government to opponents of the government, from the notorious Madame The Lin Group is gradually rising to the Cali Group. This small prison hosts almost all of Colombia's violent groups, fighting each other to the death, but the prison management does not care about it, said a prisoner who once lived here. The sewers of the Dro Prison prison contained the remains of at least a hundred people.
How the body fragments of these one hundred people came about is due to the struggle between the left-wing radical organizations and the right-wing radical organizations that have gained a foothold in La Modelo Prison. They occupied the two buildings of La Modelo Prison, the south and the north, respectively, as their military strongholds. The daily release time was the moment when the war started. The management of the prison was happy to see them slaughter each other. But when a thousand drug dealers from the Medellin Group entered the prison, the situation here changed. Left-wing and right-wing prisoners have a natural contempt for drug dealers, so Escobar's men did not live very well there. After all, both left-wing and right-wing extremists are masters with ideals and beliefs, and drug dealers like this Violent organizations united for profit can only be seen as a mess in front of them.
Ivankov sent the former Soviet armored soldiers recruited by Brighton Beach to Escobar. They learned all the knowledge needed by armored soldiers in Afghanistan and mastered it. Two tanks attack the impregnable La Modro prison to rescue the prisoners belonging to the Medellin group trapped inside.
On the other hand, Ben Ali and others who once served in the French Foreign Legion will be responsible for defending the air power from the Afghan government forces and even the Americans, and the only weapons in their hands are the forty stingers and stingers from the Afghan battlefield. Needle-type individual anti-aircraft missiles.
When all the people gather in Medellin and get ready,
And with a well-planned raid on Ramodro Prison, a brutal war was inevitable.
So on a bright morning, when the field where La Modelo Prison was located was still silent, trucks began to slowly move towards La Modelo along the simple dirt road leading to the prison.
It hadn't rained in a long time around La Modelo Prison, and the dirt road quickly kicked up a cloud of dust. The dusty sight was quickly spotted by prison police patrolling the high walls.
"Hey buddy, look over there! What's the origin?" The guard who discovered the problem called his companion and asked.
"Could it be a convoy delivering supplies, but why are there so many people here today?" Another guard squinted and looked into the distance.
The guard with the binoculars tried his best to adjust the focus. Because the distance was too far, apart from the dusty scene, he could vaguely see a black shadow. After he finally got the focus, he finally saw Behind the distant soil slope, a thick stick pointed directly at the sky. As the opponent's speed became faster and faster, the guard suddenly said in surprise: "Tank! I see a tank coming from a distance!"
"Are you dazzled? I didn't hear that the troops are coming here!" Another guard said suspiciously, and then took out the binoculars and looked carefully.
"Could it be a military exercise?" Looking into the distance with binoculars, the guard, who was still suspicious just now, said excitedly: "Ha! I didn't expect it to be a tank! This is the first time in my life to see a tank with my own eyes? Yes? It’s not that the government army is going to send armored troops to encircle and suppress the drug dealers in the mountains, this gang of damned drug dealers will be in trouble.”
The two hurriedly called their companions to come and watch this rare sight. Everyone took turns watching the mighty motorcade in the distance with binoculars. After all, there are too few people who have seen the tank with their own eyes, and everyone feels it is rare. At this moment, someone suddenly asked back: "Hey! Guys, why do you say that the cars behind the tanks are all civilian colors?"
After someone raised a question, everyone found out that except for the tanks and a few armored vehicles that were painted by the army, the rest of the vehicles were the colors of ordinary people's cars, white, black, and blue. It looks like a regular army, but there is one thing that makes people feel different from the usual impression, that is, the speed of the tank is not at all like the sluggish appearance on TV, on the contrary, it is very fast on this rough road.
"Guys, I think it's a bit strange! Let's contact the nearby garrison and ask if the troops are doing anything nearby!"
"Hey! Look, the guys in the truck behind the tank, they're not wearing army clothes!"
"I don't feel right!"
"Hello! Is it the military district command? This is La Modro Prison. Are you conducting any military operations near my gate? No, are you sure? Armored vehicles and tanks appeared near my gate? Are you there? just to confirm"
At this moment, the galloping tank slowly gained speed, then turned around and moved to a slightly higher mound, and its muzzle was slowly aimed at the position of the watchtower.
"boom!"
