Chapter 1098 Raid on Takna (First update, please subscribe)

Due to the heavy fog, the convoy was not moving very fast.

It was even a bit slow, and because of the heavy fog, the car windows were covered with fog, and I had to reach out to open the window from time to time.

"The third squad's target is the telegraph office, the fourth squad's target is the railway station. We will extract a squad to reinforce the fourth squad, the fifth squad's target is the police station, and we will reinforce both squads..."

While the car was driving, the entire plan was still flashing through Zhang Pengju's mind. The plan to launch a surprise attack on Takna was a plan that he and Yu Dongjie racked their brains for three days to complete. Finally, it was continuously improved by dozens of staff officers and intelligence personnel from the General Staff.

Even before the assault, they conducted more than a dozen targeted simulation exercises, but actual combat is not an exercise.

In war, all kinds of accidents may happen at any time.

What was the biggest surprise?

Of course, they need to arrest those senior officials - according to the plan, they need to arrest many senior officials including cabinet members, the National Police Chief and the Governor of the National Bank.

Why were they arrested and what was the key to the decapitation operation?

It's beheading!

This "head" refers not only to the presidents of Peru and Bolivia, but also to other senior officials who may organize resistance.

The convoy had a smooth journey, without the expected inspections or any accidents.

After all, such an action itself is not in the world's imagination.

Even Tacna itself was almost an undefended city.

Why should it be defended?

To the east of the city is the Andes Mountains, which are four to five thousand meters above sea level. To the south is the desert that stretches for thousands of kilometers, and to the west is the vast Pacific Ocean.

Even the city itself is located on the edge of the desert.

Why did the Peruvian-Bolivian federal government choose this place as its capital? This involves a public case during the first federal period in 1836. Neither the Peruvians nor the Bolivians were willing to use the other's capital as the capital of the federation, so Tacna became the capital of the federation.

Although the First Federation only existed for three years before it was disintegrated due to the invasion of Chile and Argentina, facing the pressure of the Ming Empire, after Peru and Bolivia once again joined hands and established a federation, they still chose Tacna, a city on the edge of the desert, as their capital.

The new city in the north of the city was planned and built for the capital. Thanks to the prosperous economy in recent years, the planning of the new city is neat and modern. The Presidential Palace is located in the Federal Square in the center of the new city. In addition to the Presidential Palace, there are also buildings of the Congress and various departments around the square. Even the official residences of officials are nearby, which makes it convenient for the commandos to operate.

After the convoy arrived at the Federal Square, it immediately dispersed as planned, with each team rushing towards their respective targets. Among them, Zhang Pengju led a team directly to the Presidential Palace. They did not take a car to the Presidential Palace, but walked across the square.

“Wow…wow…wow…”

Although the military boots worn by the commandos had soft rubber soles, there was still some noise inevitably made when hundreds of people walked around.

In addition to the agents from the Investigation Department, there were four commandos leading the way. They formed a battle formation and covered each other, quickly approaching the Presidential Palace under the cover of heavy fog.

The outline of the Spanish-style presidential palace was vaguely visible in the fog. When the commandos approached the palace, they did as they did in training. When they approached the street in front of the presidential palace, four commandos acting as scouts hid behind stone pillars on the roadside with their guns in hand, observing the situation on the opposite side across the street.

Across the street was the Presidential Palace. With the bright electric light, one could clearly see the guards in front of the president. There were more than a dozen of them at the bottom of the steps, and several more guards above. However, the thick fog prevented them from seeing more than just one figure.

Even with the lessons learned from the "surprise attack on Santiago", countries have not made any improvements to the protection of the presidential palace. It remains as lax as in the past and is not worth mentioning.

Zhang Pengju waved his arm to signal the troops to stop advancing, and then he squatted near the fountain in the center of the square. The commandos on the left and right wings had approached the dark corner near the Presidential Palace under the cover of fog and night, and they also stopped.

"Captain Zhang, the Presidential Palace is in front of us. Just like in the past, there are eight guards in front of the steps and six on top of the steps. There are about a hundred guards stationed inside all year round. They live on the first floor. If the troops want to go in, they must first deal with the guards outside this door."

Nodding, Zhang Pengju took out a small iron case from his pocket, pressed it twice in succession, and two "click...click..." sounds came out.

This was an order for the troops to move. He received a "click" in response. At the same time, the commandos who had been hiding in the corner approached the stairs quickly with submachine guns in their hands. Although their footsteps were very light, the sentinels still heard a little movement, but at the moment they turned around.

“Chirp…Chirp…Chirp”

With a slight sound, the sentry at the bottom of the stairs fell in a pool of blood before he even had time to figure out what was going on. The commandos did not stop, but continued to move forward along the car ramp.

He aimed his submachine gun at the commandos in front of him, and when he saw a figure in front of him, he would shoot without hesitation.

“Chirp…Chirp…Chirp…”

The sentry in front had just been knocked down, and before the sentry behind him could react, he was shot in the head. Even so, the commando following closely behind him would shoot the sentry again.

Although the sound of the silenced submachine gun was very slight, when the person fell, the gun, bayonet scabbard and other objects still made some noise when they hit the ground. Although the noise was not loud, it still alarmed the guards in the presidential palace.

"Clang" accompanied by the sound of gun bolts, the commando who was rushing in the front had already bumped into him head-on, that guy's eyes were wide open.

"Chiu..."

The muzzle of the gun was less than three meters away from the guy's head, and the bullet instantly pierced the Peruvian soldier's head. When the bullet hit his head, it directly opened his crown, and the red and white thing and the military cap were blown away together...

"ah……"

Just as he killed the Peruvian soldier in front with one shot, there was another Peruvian soldier behind him. The soldier opened his eyes wide and let the red and white things like brains splatter on his face. Just when he wanted to scream in fear, another commando pulled the trigger one after another. With several subtle gunshots, several bullets were shot into the chest.

The commandos in the front emptied their magazines and quickly retreated several steps. At the top of the rear, while the commandos were removing the empty magazines and reloading new ones, they had already walked up the stairs. The president's bedroom was on the second floor.

When the commandos arrived at the second floor, they first walked into the guard room with guns in hand. There were people talking in the half-open guard room, and the guards seemed to be playing cards there.

According to the information provided by the Investigation Department, there were four to six guards inside. Out of caution, the commandos approached the door carefully, and after observing the situation in the room with a small mirror, they suddenly appeared at the door and fired at the people sitting around the card table.

After a hail of bullets, the guards in the guard room fell in a pool of blood, but the broken teacups and teapots that fell to the ground still made a harsh sound.
