103rd Cleaning

After dumping nearly 2,000 bodies outside Antofagaste, the presidential army never attacked again. Unable to capture the strategic point of Antofagaste, and realizing that an offensive to the north was no longer feasible, the presidential army began to shrink its forces and deploy in the Atacama area, and the two sides reached a stalemate.

With another order from Germany for 20,000 Gew.81 rifles, 100 foreign trade M1886 Maxim machine guns, and 40 Krupp 1864 field guns, the newly formed Parliamentarian army began to match the strength of the President's army. After sending an additional 2,000 troops to Antofagast, Antofagast basically had no worries.

German units were withdrawn from the defensive line, and the KSK was withdrawn from the vicinity of Coquimbo, picked up by the Chilean Navy off the coast of Lower Carisal, and then sent back to Antofagaste.

The KSK also brought back a lot of valuable information, such as the troop movement of the presidential army between the Kogumbo district and the Atacama district, logistics and supplies, and so on. What surprised the Chileans even more was that none of the KSK members were lost, and they brought back many of the rank insignia of the soldiers of the presidential army, and it is clear that the owners of these ranks went to see God.

In April, the prepared parliamentary forces moved south from Antofasgat to attack the Atacama district, while the parliamentary forces in the south also set out from the Biobío district and began to attack the Maule district north. The form of the parliamentary army's attack on the president's army from the north to the south has taken shape.

In order to defend against the offensive of the parliamentary army on the northern front, the presidential army transferred troops from the Koquimbo district to the Atacama district and garrisoned the capital city of Kopiapo. At this time, there was a vacancy in the strength of the Koquimbo district. Therefore, the naval officers in the German advisory group landed directly from the sea, attacked Kogumbo, and then cut off the way for the president's troops to retreat south in the Atacama district.

If the defenders of Coquimbo are annihilated, the navy that controls the Chilean coast will be able to use the port of Coquimbo to transport troops ashore, and then capture La Serena to block the return of the Atacama presidential army, and the connection between the Atacama district and the Santiago Capital District, the base camp of the presidential army, will be severed.

If the defenders of the Atacama sector are entrenched in place, then play on them. If they go south to help, then they will block it near Coquimbo. It's much easier than attacking Atacama and playing city fortification with the president's army.

Landing in the rear of the enemy army and taking control of the port was a rather bold plan, but once it succeeded, it can be said that the outcome of this civil war was basically decided. Faced with such a **, Monte finally decided to take the advice of the Germans and attack Kogumbo with a risky move.

The deployment of the presidential army here, which had been found out during the reconnaissance in this vicinity before, was not guarded at the dock. However, the high point on the top of the hill is surrounded by the camp of the presidential army, and there are watchtowers and makeshift batteries. The elevation angle of the naval guns was insufficient, and the straight trajectory could not hit the barracks at this height. And if you land directly, the condescending turret will make this place a tough nut to crack.

Therefore, the task given to KSK is to infiltrate the port of Kogumbo directly, quietly kill the defenders here, and let the navy ships dock along the land. Once the port is secure, the out-of-port transport ships will enter the port to unload 3,000 parliamentarians and a large number of heavy weapons, and then attack La Serena.

The German Mixed Reinforcement Company landed on the south bank of Coquimbo and then set up positions in the area between La Serena and Coquimbo. The aim is to stop La Serena's support for the port of Coquimbo here if the KSK operation fails. The Parliamentarians, on the other hand, could only storm Kogumbo under the artillery fire overhead.

The operation began on 15 April. At this time, there were only about 300 troops in the regular army company of the presidential army and one company of the armed militia in the port area of Kogumbo, which was not too difficult for the soldiers of KSK. Therefore, KSK also deliberately allocated the strength of 2 platoons to help reinforce the company.

At 2 a.m., there was peace in the port of Coquimbo. The sea breeze brought a refreshing coolness, the moonlight shone on the sea, and the sound of waves could be heard in the ears, except for the occasional change of guard of the presidential army sentry, the whole port area was asleep.

And in this silence, six dinghys slowly approached under the cover of night. The port of Coquimbo is a small peninsula jutting out from the coast, and the marina is built along the coastline of the peninsula. The wharf is long, but there is only one narrow one, and most of it is used by fishermen to dock their fishing boats, and the dock where transport boats can dock is close to the inside. Entering the pier is not difficult, but if you want to go up the hill you have to pass through the fishermen's settlements, and the chances of being spotted are too great.

However, because there was no other way to get to the top of the mountain, the KSK soldiers had to take a risk. In order to ensure the success of the operation, the troops were divided into two groups, six small boats from each side of the peninsula, and two groups of men marched to the top of the hill.

The Germans sneakily walked through the towns that were not yet prosperous. People who have worked hard all day are now immersed in sleep, which brings great convenience to their movements. There were no accidents, and the two groups arrived at the outskirts of the barracks smoothly, and then dispersed to surround the entire barracks, and at this time the presidential army in the camp did not know that death had come to their side.

The Chilean Army soldiers who were standing guard on the tower were in a relaxed spirit, and the sea was calm from afar. Around 2 o'clock in the morning is the most sleepy time, yawning and stretching, there is still one hour before others come to change shifts, and I have to wait here.

Suddenly, he heard a dull "boom", and then with a "whoosh" sound, it was as if something had pierced his throat. The impact caused him to fall to the ground, and then a sharp pain spread from his throat, but he couldn't make a sound, and the traumatic shock caused him to struggle for only a short time, and soon the lack of oxygen and blood loss would kill him. At the same time as he fell, the sentry at the gate of the camp was also hit by an arrow.

The two KSK soldiers immediately reloaded their combined pulley crossbows, which resembled the Wildcat C5, with the other three teammates doing the same. KSK, who basically figured out the rules of their changing of the guard, chose to attack when the sentries were halfway through the guard, and no one would come to check on the situation at this time.

After the sentry was killed, dozens of figures quickly jumped on the grass in front of the camp, and these figures quickly moved under the walls of the camp, and the camp gate was closed from the inside, and only the shift changers could open it. So they prepared to enter over the wall.

The wall is not too high to bother them, some of them squat against the wall, and then put their hands in front of them with their palms facing up, while their teammates step on the palms and jump up and climb over the wall with the force of lifting upwards, while the last person who crosses the wall lies on the wall and pulls the teammates below up again. In just 1 minute, 1 platoon of KSK sneaked into the camp.

Then the KSK, which entered the camp, opened the camp gate, and the rest of the men infiltrated it, half of them began to take advantage of the position, and the other half went to kill the patrol. At this time, a squad of armed militia patrolled the small camp, saying that it was patrolling, and they were scattered everywhere standing in the light of the fire and chatting.

Another burst of crossbow arrows knocked them all down, and at this time, a guy returning from the toilet was about to scream when he saw the fallen man on the ground, and a large gloved hand covered his mouth from behind, and then he was incapacitated after feeling a sharp pain in his lower back. The loss of blood from the puncture of his right kidney would have caused him to die faster than the ones who had been shot.

Pulling out the fighting knife with a SAEL2001 shape and being phosphated so that it is not reflective, he wiped it twice on the opponent's clothes, and then exhaled lightly and whispered a dangerous word The KSK soldier raised his head. In the light of the fire, the face in the shadow of the round edge of the Penny hat was revealed, although it was smeared with black-green oil paint, but it could still be seen that it was Carl the Sniper, and his partner Lucas was on guard with a crossbow in the shadows not far behind him.

After killing all the patrols, the assault group came to the door of the barracks, each door standing in groups of two or two, everyone near the door holding Fli.88 pump-action shotguns in their hands, and their teammates in the back removed grenades from their bodies, unscrewed the protective cover at the end of the end, and nodded. The teammate in front kicked the door with their feet facing back with their back against the wall, then dodged back behind the wall, while the person behind pulled the lead and bent down to throw the grenade in.

Before the Chileans, who were awakened by the loud kicking of the door, a smoking object was thrown in, followed by a loud explosion. KSK outside the door turned slightly sideways, and a puff of smoke and debris rushed out of the door, and then four people flashed into the door with shotguns, the muzzles of which were pointed to the sides, and then pulled the trigger on the guy who was not yet dead.

There was a platoon living in each barracks, and a grenade clearly could not shut them all up. KSK, who rushed in with a shotgun, pulled the trigger and pulled the handguard back and forth to fire continuously, the 7+1 high-capacity cartridge provided powerful firepower, and the 15 steel balls sprayed by a 12-gauge deer bullet could stop the guy who was lucky enough to die**.

By the time the four had fired all the bullets, there were no more Chileans alive in the room.

“Putzen!” After confirming that the room was thoroughly "clean", a KSK called.

Turning around and walking out of the door, the other KSK soldiers also finished their work. From breaking in to walking out of the door, in 1 minute, the two companies stationed in the port of Coquimbo became ghosts, and every one was very smooth.

The KSK, having completed the clean-up, sent a message to the sky with a flare gun. Awakened by the sound of the explosion, the townspeople walked out of their homes in horror and watched the huge shadow of the ship slowly approach. Then I watched as the ships docked, and a steady stream of parliamentary soldiers came down from above. Faced with the muzzles of the guns and the muzzles of the escorting naval ships, no one dared to resist.

The naval transport ships that docked at the port quickly unloaded their soldiers and equipment, and the 3,000-strong troops quickly marched towards La Serena with their guns, arriving at the city of La Serena at dawn.
