"Ugh!"
Unlike the chaotic police, the Medellin drug dealers who had gathered outside the town were as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
The happiest drug dealer was carrying a huge anti-aircraft missile in his hand. While holding the launcher, he stood on the car and howled like a ghost.
"This American product is so easy to use!"
That's right, what the drug traffickers were carrying was not the Soviet Union's Needle anti-aircraft missiles, but the American-made Stinger anti-aircraft missiles. In other words, the Medellin people used American missiles to shoot down the American plane.
The Stinger missile was improved by the United States on the basis of the Red Eye missile. It will still be regarded as a top-ranked individual infrared anti-aircraft missile in later generations, let alone now.
The Stinger missile in Medellin's hands was definitely not obtained through formal channels. It is now an advanced weapon, and the U.S. Army has not even completely changed its equipment, so it is naturally impossible for the United States to use it. This stuff is sold to drug cartels.
So where did the missile come from?
This is also thanks to the Soviet friends in Afghanistan. Since the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, many countries have begun to help local Afghans fight back against the Soviet Union. The United States is naturally the most active one.
The Soviet army used a large number of Mi-24 Hind helicopters and other types of helicopters for military dispatch in the mountainous areas of Afghanistan. Among them, the Mi-24 Hind helicopter with its own 23mm cannon and the ability to mount rockets and missiles was even more popular. The Afghan guerrillas were scurrying around, so in order to fight against the Soviet helicopters and fighter jets, the United States naturally assisted its Afghan friends with a lot of Stinger missiles.
These missiles have played a great role, but there are also some missiles that have not been used by Afghan friends, because it is very difficult for them to fight against the Soviet Union, and they want to just sit back and make money.
Then, reselling the advanced weapons aided by Western friends is naturally a very good choice!
In fact, a large proportion of the weapons circulating on the black market come from this, including explosives, grenade launchers, rocket launchers, and even equipment such as radios.
A large part of these arms went to Africa, and the rest naturally went to the Americas. After all, there are many places in the Americas that are very uneven, especially in the Caribbean and Latin America. If there is no gunfire every three days, maybe ordinary people will Not used to it.
The Stinger missile that shot down the helicopter naturally came from this way. The Medellin Group purchased four launchers and 20 pieces of ammunition from black market buyers for only 20,000 US dollars each. It can be said that it is very affordable. Cost-effective!
Shooting down the helicopter is only the first step for these armed men. Their goal is to rescue Orchoa, who is imprisoned in the branch. The latter is now one of the only two leaders of the Medellin Group. , if something goes wrong with Orchoa, Medellin will soon be defeated in the hands of Pablo!
So, they must rescue Orchoa!
The shooting down of the helicopter gave Carrillo an extremely violent shock, or it was not just a shock. His face was also scratched by flying iron fragments and he bled a lot.
The wreckage of the helicopter was still burning fiercely, and the two pilots had no chance to leave. Carrillo's men and many police officers could not even get close to the burning wreckage, although they connected the pipe from the fire hose of the branch, But that little bit of water was nothing to the flames.
"Contact Bogota, we are in trouble!"
Without caring about cleaning the wound, Carrillo returned to the police station. His men had already escorted Orchoa back and sent additional personnel to guard him. Even other police officers in the branch distributed weapons. Everyone It's like facing a powerful enemy.
"Sir, the director has been contacted!"
The communications soldier came quickly with the radio. Carrillo took the radio and immediately reported the news to the minister.
After learning that the helicopter was shot down by drug traffickers with a missile, the Minister of the Interior in Bogota was silent for a while. He didn't know what to say. The military and police helicopter was shot down by drug traffickers. If the news spread, people would probably laugh it off.
"What's the situation there now?"
"us
Our people can still control the situation, sir, but with all due respect, if there are no reinforcements, then the dozens of people under my command may not be able to save Orchoa. The local police are not reliable! "
"I understand, I will let the special forces continue to send people over!"
"No, sir, we must get Orchoa away as soon as possible!"
Carrillo's mind was very clear. He knew that there was only one choice in the current situation. Orchoa could not stay here any longer, otherwise even if an army of 10,000 people was sent over, the latter would still be able to find a loophole and escape.
Only by sending him to Bogota and keeping him away from his own territory and men can we ensure that this guy will not fly high!
"But I can't send any more helicopters over there, who knows how many anti-aircraft missiles those guys have!"
"Can the Shadow Company be dispatched?"
"I'll contact them, but before that, Colonel, you must keep an eye on Orchoa!"
"I promise, sir!".
Carrillo returned the radio to the signal soldier, then looked back and saw Orchoa's mocking smile.
"It seems that your men are reluctant to let you go!"
"Yeah, so, have you changed your mind? Colonel?"
"No, my people are on their way here. Do you think you can attack here with just your people?"
"How will you know if you don't try?"
"Really, then if they really come in, I guarantee you will be the first to die!"
Carrillo looked at Orchoa, who was smiling particularly happily, and immediately threatened word for word.
"So, you'd better not hope those guys can come in!"
After saying that, Carrillo ignored Orchoa and began to deploy defensive measures with peace of mind!
It is already two o'clock in the afternoon. The special forces set off from the base in Bogotá. It will take seven hours at the fastest to arrive. If there is an accident on the way, it may take longer, but Carrillo does not think that Orchoa's men will give it to them. They take so long, they're sure to attack as soon as the sun goes down.
Therefore, they must be prepared for what they need to do, and even prepare for the worst!
"Major!"
Carrillo looked at the branch chief, and after much thought, he told the other party the current situation. Then, Carrillo asked the other party to integrate all the police officers under his command into his own force.
After all, the police in the branch cannot guard against them all, nor can they not guard against them all, so it is most reliable to mix them together!
