I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World (Web Novel)

Chapter 1325: The Great Victory of Bucaramanga

Although a house with its windows blown open by the wind could withstand the violent storm as a whole, the strong wind would still make the inside of the house a mess. The Earth’s magnetic field was just like a house prone to “leakage” in front of the solar wind, and its “holes” would continue to “leak” for several hours for charged particles from the Sun to enter the Earth’s atmosphere and disrupt communications and power systems.

However, whether it was the solar wind or Celestial Trade’s EMP weapon, the NATO Coalition Force stationed in Bucaramanga did not have time to investigate. The Moro soldiers had already taken control of Highland 772 and cut through their last line of defense outside Bucaramanga.

Until the flare of the final offensive rose into the sky, not a single NATO soldier got the news in advance

Highland 772 was captured by the Moro effortlessly.

Behind this high ground was the military base of the NATO Coalition Force.

The night quietly arrived.

Without the slightest warning, Type-63 rocket launchers landed on the runway of the military base airport and blasted the fighters stranded on the runway to pieces.

Artillery bombarded from all directions and the noise of explosions and homing shells quickly flooded the base’s intermittent broadcast. The NATO Coalition Forces with paralyzed command system had to fight separately in the military base hundreds of acres wide.

The NATO force armed with night vision equipment should not be at such a disadvantage fighting at night. However, after the EMP strike, the night vision goggles and thermal imaging scopes all turned into scrap metal. Not only was it useless, but it also obstructed the soldiers’ movement.

Tanks suffered the same fate.

There was no command, no infantry support, and even one of the thermal imaging scopes was broken. The M1A2 main battle tank that rolled out of the garage was like a blindfolded bull. With explosions all around, it was unaware whether if it would hit the enemy or friendly units.

Although armored units could effectively resist EMP strikes, it did not include the communication equipment placed outside the armor. If the tanks were prepared ahead of time and equipped with the “anti-pulse” attachment developed by the Advanced Projects Agency, it was not impossible to protect these pieces of communication equipment.

But obviously, they didn’t expect an EMP strike at all.

…

What would happen to a modernized force without any information support?

Reality proved that it was like a blind man.

Muthari followed the 21st Infantry Brigade into the north gate of the military base. He fired in front of him and quickly suppressed the sniper hiding behind the military truck. The comrades behind him skillfully took out the RPG-7 launcher with the high-explosive warhead and fired it at the truck.

The flames of the explosion lit up the night.

As soldiers advanced deeper, the supporting artillery from the rear began to shrink towards the center of the military base. The NATO coalition forces that defended the military base were completely blinded. Some soldiers started to retreat toward the port of Barranquilla, while the rest were either killed or captured by the guerrillas.

Muthari’s company was the first to penetrate a building suspected to be an important target.

The resistance of the NATO soldiers stationed in this building was quite tenacious. Both sides suffered a lot of casualties in the exchange of fire, and the exchange entered a stalemate for a while.

However, everyone knew that for these people trapped in a dead-end, their final fate was almost inevitable.

The NATO soldiers that crawled behind cover fell one after another. But for Moro and FARC, the reinforcement arrived one by one.

With the firepower on the opposite side was getting weaker and weaker, the Moro guerrillas seized the opportunity to rush in. They soon squashed the remaining resistance.

This seemed to be the command post of the NATO coalition forces. There were offices and conference rooms on both sides of the corridor.

Pewpewpewpew

Muthari unleashed his bullets and turned an officer that attempted to fire back into a sieve, then he stepped into the office.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that there was something moving under the table

Muthari’s eyes turned brighter as he pointed his gun at the desk and leaned forward.

He gestured a “cover me” to the comrades behind him and his left hand reached under the desk. After he grabbed onto something, he pulled the man out from under the table and threw him to the ground; two rifles quickly were aimed at that man’s face.

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me! I surrender!”

“Don’t move! Put your hands on your head, and stop screaming!” Muthari kicked the officer to the wall. When he heard him speak, he was infuriated and hit the officer with his stock.

I finally caught an officer, but he is Korean?

What a loss!

…

The sky was about to turn bright, and the battle that lasted all night was over.

The outcome of this battle was stellar.

Ten M1A2 main battle tanks, more than thirty LAV-25 light armored vehicles of various types, and self-propelled artillery that did not explode in the shelling, even the armed helicopters on the tarmac and the F35s parked in the hangar, all the equipment was captured by Moro soldiers, and most of them were transported back to the rear by trucks.

Except for tanks and armored vehicles, gunships and F35s were unable to participate in combat due to electronic malfunctions.

But again, even if they were not broken, there was unlikely anyone in Moro capable of operating one.

Nearly 8,000 prisoners of war were also transported into the depths of the Andes with trucks. Most of them were from Turkey, and the rest were mostly from the UA, Britain, Fran and other European countries.

It was ultimately unrealistic to completely defeat all of the NATO soldiers.

When the guerrillas were about to occupy the military base, the Ford aircraft carrier battle group deployed in the Gulf of Mexico had already noticed the situation on the front line, and sent F35s to the occupied military base, dispatched the Osprey and the remaining marine units to cover the defeated coalition soldiers’ retreat to the Gulf of Mexico.

It was definitely the worst defeat in NATO history.

The entire communication system collapsed, and the command structure was lost. The soldiers didn’t know whether they should withdraw or defend. An EMP strike effectively turned the most elite soldiers on the planet into third-rate forces. Moro and FARC guerrillas relied on their absolute advantage in numbers, firepower, and experience as third-rate forces to defeat the NATO forces.

The good news from the frontline soon spread to the back.

Even Timochenko himself could not believe FARC and Moro soldiers actually took over the NATO Coalition Force military base in Bucaramanga.

It was the infamous NATO…

And more than 8,000 prisoners of war…

The high number of prisoners even felt like hot potatoes in his hands

After he smoked five or six cigars in a row and paced back and forth in the cave, he finally calmed down his excitement and sat down.

After they crossed Bucaramanga, to the north, it was Bogota, the capital of Colombia. He seemed to be only one step away from the President’s throne…
