Complete walkthrough:
This is a quite difficult mission. Furthermore, it's longer than most of the previous ones. You might have some problems finishing it, especially in its final phase. Thankfully, you won't be bothered by any gunships. If you're lucky, you won't even have to repeat anything. Start off by heading towards a briefing area (#1). I would recommend that you have a car with you, because you won't receive any other vehicles. Once you've been briefed, start moving towards your next target (#2). It would be best to not hit anything along the way. Thanks to that, you won't be attacked by any other enemy units.
It would be best if you had stayed on one of the larger roads. Thanks to that, you will be able to reach your destination much quicker. The police station should be located on your left (#1). Keep heading towards it. You're going to be attacked by a few soldiers along the way. Ignore them for now. Once you've reached your destination, exit the vehicle and talk to Immaculada (#2). She will ask you to assist in a full scale assault.
You will have to follow Immaculada to your next target (#1). There is a large road that leads to your current destination. Once you're there, make sure that you had killed all of the nearby soldiers (#2). Some of them may be hiding, so you should be very careful. There are a few gunships in the air, however they shouldn't be attacking you, so it would be best to ignore them.
Keep heading towards the main gate (#1). It leads to the police station area. As you've probably noticed, the gate is closed. You will have to do something about it. The best way to solve this small problem would be to use one of the carried grenades (#2). Wait for the explosion to occur. There should be a large hole here. Use it to enter the police station.
Start shooting at the visible enemy soldiers (#1). You could also use the grenades, however this is not necessary. A short cut-scene should appear on your screen. It turns out that Esperanza (you helped her in one of the previous missions) has been captured. You will have to reach her cell. Keep heading towards the opposite end of this square (#2). There are some cars parked here. You will have to use one of them in a few minutes.
Make sure that you're using longer bursts. Thanks to that, you won't have any problems with your opponents. You should also be on a look out for any additional medkits. There's a small staircase here (#1). You will have to get to the upper level. Be careful, though. This area is crawling with enemy troops (#2). You might consider using a rocket launcher, mostly because you won't need this weapon for any other purposes.
You should be getting closer to your current destination. Make sure that you've taken care of all nearby soldiers. Some of them will be guarding Esperanza (#1). Kill them and go talk to your rebel friend (#2). Now you will have to go back to the big square. Reload your weapon and start moving.
You will probably encounter at least four new soldiers along the way (#1). Thankfully, they won't pose as a serious threat. Go ahead and use the rocket launched or some of the carried grenades to get them. Once you've reached your new target, a new objective will appear on your screen. It turns out that the police chief is trying to escape. You will have to catch him. Use the nearby stairs. Head on to one of the parked cars. Make sure that Immaculada and Esperanza join you (#2). Additionally, Immaculada will be using the heavy machine gun post.
This is the most difficult part of the mission, however you shouldn't feel intimidated by it. You will have to be careful, though. Exit the prison area. You must use the small gap. Now you will have to try and get closer to your target. Police chief is using a humvee instead one of the fast cars, so it shouldn't be much of a problem (#1). Just make sure you stop at nothing. You must avoid enemy soldiers and military vehicles. Once you get closer to your target, Immaculada will start shooting at it (#2).
Stay close to your target (#1). Immaculada will be using the heavy machine gun. Don't forget that there are a lot of enemy vehicles in the area. They will try to push you off the road. Avoid these types of attacks! Your target will catch on fire after a short while (#2). After that, the car is going to explode. There's an interesting cut-scene ahead of you. Once it has ended, you will complete this mission.
Important! Once again, you will be granted with several new side missions. You should know exactly how to react in these kinds of situations. Start off by leaving the city. Thanks to that, you will be able to use the Extraction feature. I would recommend that you choose one of the nearby hideouts. Rioja 07 seems like a good idea. You could also put a request for a gyrocopter. I hope that you still remember about this useful tool. There's only more package in this area, so I'd recommend that you pick it up right away. You should also capture a few villas for the Rioja cartel. If you've done everything correctly, they should all be under your control. There are also new provinces for you to conquer. The game will unlock two large sectors - Provincia Mendoza City and Provincia Los Islas. I would recommend that you start off with the second one, mostly because you'll be using a very useful hideout. Taking control of the lower part of the city is much more difficult. One of the most interesting things here is the flagpole. It's well hidden, so you may have some problems finding it. Make sure that you go back to the prison area. You've been there in the previous mission, so you should remember exactly where it is. You will have to use the stairs in order to reach the upper level. Flagpole is going to be located on your left. Before you proceed with the next mission, it would also be wise to finish some of the side missions. This will allow you to advance in the Guerrilla and/or Rioja ranks. Hopefully you'll unlock some of the new weapons. They will come in handy.
