The ones who attacked the Palace of Justice were naturally not the Colombian army, because for the military, the number of Stuart tanks was not large, and it was not enough to put them on the front line to fight guerrillas. How could they be deployed in the capital.
And even the tanks of the army would not dare to fire at the Palace of Justice. A military coup is easy to say, but if something goes wrong, it will lead to loss of head. In Colombia: the political situation has not been stable since the 1950s. The total number of people who died was not 200,000 but 150,000.
Therefore, the military would naturally not do such a stupid thing. The one who attacked the Palace of Justice was none other than the 19 guerrillas sent by Pablo!
They dispatched a team of nearly two hundred people, some of whom were in government uniforms. They set out first to control the entrances and exits of the Palace of Justice. Then, using the sound of gunshots as a signal, the large forces began to take action. Under the cover of tanks, they completely controlled the judicial system. Palace and surrounding areas.
The shelling of Stuart tanks overwhelmed the civilians passing by. Although the country has never been very stable, the residents living in the capital have never seen such a scene. Even if drug dealers make trouble, it is just a riot. Rifles and pistols, who would use tanks?
Some people even thought this was a movie being filmed and immediately wanted to join in the fun. It wasn't until a few unlucky Colombian policemen were beaten into a hornet's nest by machine guns on the spot, and their bloody corpses fell to the ground, that they realized that this was like a movie. Not acting.
The 19th guerrillas who entered the Palace of Justice simply began to attack all the way. Their goal was very clear, which was to capture this place in the shortest possible time. The staff and judges of the Palace of Justice were also their targets, but the 19th guerrillas did not seem to kill them. They attacked these unarmed people like dead police, only to control them all and imprison them in several rooms.
But the police and security were in dire straits. With only pistols, they were no match for the 19th guerrillas who carried rifles and submachine guns. The 19th guerrillas even carried grenades. They would use firepower to force the police into the room and then throw them inside. grenade to kill the police inside.
In less than twenty minutes, the Palace of Justice was under full control of the 19 guerrillas. About twenty policemen and gendarmes were killed on the spot. No prisoners were taken. The guerrillas had no concept of educating prisoners. The police who surrendered were all crisp and clean. The head was blown off.
In addition to the unlucky police officers, nearly a hundred judges and other staff became prisoners of the 19th guerrillas, one-third of whom were women. However, these people were at least temporarily safe, and the guerrillas did not The idea of killing them, but occasional beatings was unavoidable, especially by the judges who had tried members of the 19th Guerrilla Group.
After taking control of everyone and the room, the guerrilla commander led his men directly to the underground archives room.
The commander waved his hand, and his men began to pour gasoline into the room. Then, a fire was thrown out by the commander, and then the files in the entire room began to burn.
There are quite a lot of various files and records kept by the judicial officers, including those of criminals, and of course Pablo's. His criminal information is considered the only one in it, because others may only have a thick stack. , but only his files had to be stacked in boxes, and they were also stacked in a separate separate room.
But now, these things have been burned to the ground!
After burning the archives to the ground, the guerrillas did not retreat. They came here with another important mission, which was to demand that the Colombian government abrogate the extradition treaty.
This is Pablo's final appeal. He would rather die in a Colombian prison than go to the United States. Therefore, he will do anything to abrogate the extradition treaty!
A few minutes after Stuart tanks shelled the Palace of Justice, the Colombian police received a call. However, because the matter was so important, the police confirmed several times before they dared to believe that tanks were actually firing at the Palace of Justice.
The police chief's face turned pale at that time. He really wanted to refuse to send out personnel on the grounds that the police were not here, because he knew that after today, no matter how this matter develops, he will definitely not be able to keep his position as chief, but in order to be able to leave, It looks better, but he went into battle in person, dispatched all the personnel he could mobilize, and rushed towards the Palace of Justice
past.
When the director arrived at the Palace of Justice, he saw that the superstructure of the Palace of Justice was in a mess and the square was damaged like a hurricane passing through. The director's eyes immediately went dark.
And just when he was staggering and about to fall, the deputy director on the side stretched out his hands and supported him steadily.
"Sir, nothing may happen to you, we are relying on you!"...
Seeing that the deputy director who usually had nothing to do with him was so kind, the director wanted to give this guy a shot, because if he really fainted, the person in charge would be him. Therefore, in order to prevent himself from taking the blame, The deputy director, who had always wanted the director to die suddenly, changed his previous attitude and began to care about the other party's body.
"Okay, now, you lead the people to outflank the square from the left, and I lead the people from the right!"
"Ah, but it's been a long time since I..."
"Old man, what kind of place is this? If something goes wrong, you and I will not be able to escape. It's too late to talk about this now. It's better to seize the time to save something, so that you won't die too miserably!"
"Yes, I understand!"
The deputy director sighed helplessly, and then led his men and the director to try to do something before the situation collapsed, but soon they found that they could not do anything at all!
Before the police had fully entered the square, they were fired upon by machine guns from the guerrillas. Several people were shot on the spot. While they were trying to rescue the wounded, guerrilla tanks came out from behind the Palace of Justice and began shelling.
Although the shelling of the 37mm artillery was not huge, it was still deadly. The first shot blasted a police car. The explosion directly tore the car into pieces, and the police lights even flew dozens of meters away.
As a result, the police decisively gave up their plans to do anything and quickly withdrew to a safe location. The chief knew what he should do. He asked people to monitor the Palace of Justice and the square area, and then sent most of the people to Go to various intersections to divert traffic and people to prevent people from entering the crossfire zone and causing innocent injuries.
"Anyway, we can't handle the situation here anymore. Let's wait for the army to come!"
The deputy director lay down directly, put a cigarette in his mouth, closed his eyes, and went to find a place to rest.
