Chapter 207 The Drug Manufacturing Factory
Off the coast of Colombia, inside a guided missile destroyer flying the Stars and Stripes. CIA intelligence personnel are stepping up analysis of intelligence obtained by Colombian government forces during the fierce battle in Medellin. So far, the location of the drug manufacturing factory and Escobar's actions have not been discovered, and as the drug dealers sent out boy scouts and child soldiers, the number of casualties of the Colombian government forces is rising.
The armed helicopters of the Medellin Group launched artillery strikes on the Colombian government forces on the ground, and the armed helicopters of the Colombian government forces are far less advanced than the Medellin Group. Now the battle is at a stalemate. The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it is to the government forces, because according to intelligence, Escobar still has an armored force with dozens of tanks in his hands. They have entered the city of Medellin, and they may fight against the Colombian government forces engage in an exchange of fire.
The CIA participated in this operation at the invitation of President Gargas. But it is not a few years ago now, and the equipment of the US military has undergone new developments. Now the CIA can contact the Colombian government forces on the front line at any time through the Iridium system to learn about the latest situation. The test satellite of the Global Satellite Positioning System, which has completed the experimental mission, was also requisitioned by the CIA for this operation.
With the help of GPS, the CIA can directly destroy the target through missiles after intelligence personnel report the location of the drug factory. But so far, the location of the drug manufacturing factory has not appeared in the intelligence.
"Where is Escobar's factory?" CIA intelligence personnel had to look for clues in satellite photos one after another. As for Escobar's whereabouts, since the intelligence personnel learned of his last place thirty minutes ago, there has been no response, and satellite photos show that there are indeed traces of human activities, only when the ground troops arrived there By that time, the building was already empty.
Where did the Colombian government army discover the horrific tortured bodies of CIA intelligence personnel? This is already the closest opportunity for the Colombian government army to Escobar. The cunning Escobar escaped the siege of government forces and escaped.
No trace of a drug manufacturing factory was found here. But the CIA firmly believes that Escobar's factory is in the jungle of Medellin. The CIA really wanted the US ground forces to participate in this battle, but the impact of sending troops to Colombia was too great, and the White House did not agree to the CIA's request. So far, the CIA has marked the location of hundreds of suspicious drug factories on satellite photos. But this needs to be confirmed by the ground forces of the Colombian government army. So under the command of the CIA, the U.S. helicopter unit began to drop armed personnel of the Colombian government army, crossed the Medellin Group's defense line in the urban area, and ventured into the jungle to find out.
The elite troops of the Colombian government army took off with the helicopters of the US military and flew to the vast virgin jungles in the west and north of Medellin. But when the plane came over the rainforest, the scene in front of him reminded him of the Vietnam War scene he saw in the movie. This place is simply a replica of the Yue case. The dense rainforest blocks all sight. If the personnel do not search from the ground, they will not be able to see anything at all.
The helicopter fleet had just entered the range of the rainforest when they were discovered by the armed men of the Medellin Group. They liked to hit helicopters the most because they had individual anti-aircraft missiles specially designed to deal with helicopters. Before the U.S. military's transport helicopters raised their vigilance, several trails of smoke suddenly flew up from under the lush bushes in the forest. The plane flying in the front exploded in the air on the spot, while the one behind The helicopter quickly raised its altitude and flew back.
"Okay, we can only send you here, and the rest is up to you!" The pilot on the plane said to the members of the Colombian special forces sitting in the cabin, and then in the area that had just flown safely lowered the height,
The armed men on the plane began rappelling down to the ground. Then they quickly assembled and marched into the depths of the dense forest.
The U.S. helicopter group that completed the transportation mission began to return quickly, while the special forces of the Colombian government on the ground approached the place where the fire had just been exchanged, and surrounded the drug dealers inside.
Just after walking not far, there were sporadic sounds of firefights ahead. Immediately there was a loud gunshot. It seems to have encountered stubborn resistance from drug dealers.
"Quick, there is likely to be Escobar's drug factory in front, follow up!" With an order, the Colombian special forces began to speed up their march.
As the troops advanced, so did the resistance. However, in front of Colombia's most elite armed forces, these drug dealers were quickly defeated. With the continuous attack of the Colombian special forces, the front of the drug traffickers began to retreat step by step. In the end, he had to drop the dead bodies all over the place, and fled in a rout.
Colombian government forces continue to advance. Soon they stumbled across a minefield, killing three people on the spot. Subsequently, the special forces began to clear the road ahead with the metal detectors they carried with them. This took them a lot of time.
When the Colombian government troops finally passed through the minefield, what appeared in front of them was a simple village in the rainforest. At this time, the place was deserted, but many things remained here. From time to time, pieces of cocaine and US dollars were scattered on the ground. It should have been left behind by the drug dealers when they retreated, and in this writing room, the armed men saw rows of shelves with trays of cocaine waiting to be crystallized.
"Report to the headquarters and tell them that we have found a drug factory in Escobar." The officer of the special forces contacted his superiors with communication equipment and reported what was found here. And report that there are likely to be landmines around here, and ask them to send more engineers to clear the mines when they send troops.
After discovering this drug manufacturing factory, the Colombian special forces did not continue to pursue it, because those drug dealers ran to the depths of the jungle, and everyone was unsure whether there was still a minefield like the one just now. Now that certain results have been achieved, it is finally time to go to the top.
According to preliminary statistics, there are more than 40 tons of unprocessed coca leaves found here, about 5 tons of semi-finished cocaine, and 1 ton of cocaine. In addition, there are countless Colombian pesos and Mexican pesos. The most valuable dollars and some finished cocaine were stolen. This achievement can definitely be called the most brilliant victory in the history of Colombia's anti-drug campaign.
