With the addition of Team Lightning, Shadow Company's operations in northern Colombia have gone much smoother. After all, Colombia's armaments are really stretched thin, and ground support firepower can only rely on helicopters equipped with weapons.
This is not to say that the government army does not have large-scale firepower. In fact, although the government army's tanks, artillery and armored vehicles are rare in number and old models, they still exist, but these firepower cannot be mobilized.
When they were ambushed by the Medellin armed forces, the Colombian anti-narcotics special forces had to rely on helicopters for help, and Shadow Company was naturally rich. In addition to napalm bombs, Washington also approved Shepard dampers. Access to rockets and 113kg aerial bombs.
Therefore, once any armed personnel of the Medellin Group attempt to carry out a siege, the PCs will not hesitate to call for air strikes, and these PCs are even bold enough to allow air strikes to drop bombs a hundred meters away from them.
You must know that it is easy to make errors when dropping from the air to the ground. Even a slight wind can make the bomb go far away. Therefore, at this distance of 100 meters, if the pilot hesitates or drops the bomb a second or two too early, Then the bomb might fall on their heads.
Fortunately, these pilots were extremely skilled and courageous. They carried out several air strikes without any mistakes or accidental damage. There was not even any damage to the aircraft, which saved Shepard a lot of maintenance costs.
But Shepard then severely deducted the bonuses of the PCs who let the Lightning team perform close-range air strikes. After all, they clearly have the ability to deal with enemies within 100 meters. Whether it is rifle grenades or light machine guns, their firepower is far superior to their opponents. Dozens of times.
In less than a month, Shadow Company destroyed nearly 3,000 acres of Medellin's cultivation area, demolished more than a dozen processing plants, and killed and injured hundreds of drug dealers. They were controlled and handed over to There are also hundreds of members from the Colombian side.
It can be said that although the blow caused by this move to the Medellin Group cannot be said to be devastating, it can still be regarded as a severe hemorrhage.
Because unlike losing finished products or channels, Shadow Company operates at the source. If it loses finished products, Medellin can still obtain them from peer channels in other countries, but if it loses raw materials, it will not be able to do so in a short time. Made amends.
In the past, the Medellin Group was able to obtain a large amount of money to support the operation of the organization and recruit people to expand its scale. But now, after both raw materials and sales channels have been greatly reduced, their income has suddenly dropped sharply, and they have fallen into a trap. An endless loop.
If you want to get back on your feet, you need a lot of money, but the money channels are cut off. To get money, you need a lot of raw materials to get back on your feet, but without money, you can't recruit people.
As a result, the originally large Medellin Group soon had deserters due to financial problems. In fact, the Big Three were not short of money. They would not be short of money at any time. Even when Pablo was running for his life, he They can burn a lot of money to keep their daughter warm, but their money is not the group's money. It is impossible for the giants to make up for the group's losses with their own money.
As a result, cracks immediately appeared in the relationship between the Medellin giants who were originally relatively close.
Although they won't part ways, they can no longer work together as closely as before.
And Gacha, one of the giants nicknamed the Mexican, left their hiding place directly because Gacha felt that Pablo was not safe here.
The Shadow Company naturally doesn't know this. They are still clearing out prohibited crops and processing workshops step by step, just like in Vietnam. Satellite photos are used to identify suspicious areas, and then helicopters are sent to troops to conduct ground clearance surveys, discover the enemy, defeat the enemy, and clean up the battlefield. , calling for attack aircraft to burn the area into a sea of fire.
The turning point came during a raid in the northern mountains.
Two combat teams, alpha and bravo, were deployed into the mountainous area. They had to clean up a village at an altitude of 1,600 meters. Nearly 400 acres of prohibited crops were planted outside the village, and hundreds of people were stationed there. Medellin armed men.
After the operational troops were dropped into the valley at night, the attack began immediately.
equipped with night vision goggles
The PCs were simply not something that the armed men could withstand. After less than twenty minutes of fighting, the Medellin armed forces, which had lost nearly twenty people, immediately began to retreat from the village.
Not even one of their opponents was injured.
Unwilling to let go of this opportunity to beat up the drowned dog, the PCs immediately launched a pursuit and forced the Medellin armed forces into the fields behind the village until they retreated further back, where there was a group of buildings used as Barns and other facilities are used.
Here, the PCs intercepted a dozen Medellin armed forces who had not escaped and forced them into the largest barn.
Then the PCs outside used rocket launchers, flamethrowers, flash bombs and other equipment to raid the barn. ..
After nearly half an hour of standoff, and consuming more than a dozen rockets and more than twenty flash-bang grenades, an assault team blew open the barn and other back walls, killing all the last few drug dealers inside who were still resisting.
Then, the PCs began to clean up the battlefield and move the corpses as usual.
At this moment, the sound of a mobile phone rang in the barn.
Captain Li, who was at the scene, found the mobile phone that was almost intact under the body and pressed the answer button.
Then, he heard a rather iconic and outrageous curse on the other end of the phone.
"Whose phone number?"
"Gacha's!"
"who?"
"Gonzalo Rodriguez Gacha! One of the Big Three of Medellin!"
Captain Li handed the phone to the adjutant on the side with a solemn expression, and then said.
"Give me the radio, I want to talk to CP!"
"Commander, we seem to have blocked Gacha!"
"What did you say?"
Hannibal, who was at the command post, sat up from his chair and repeated uncertainly.
"Can you say that again!"
"We seem to have blocked Gacha!"
Captain Li had no choice but to repeat again.
"you sure?"
"I just got a call from him!"
"Okay, okay, stand your ground!"
Hannibal immediately became excited. If Gacha was really defeated, it would be of great significance to the drug war. Not to mention how important this guy was, even the gold coins that exploded would definitely not be found anywhere.
"I will send reinforcements right away. You must guard it for me. You must not let this old thing escape. That is the old hen that lays golden eggs!"
