The last air battle between piston propellers

The last air battle between piston propellers

Recently, the national football team defeated Maldives 5-0, which was also a long-lost victory for the national football team. You can rest assured that the national football team has been hacked for so long, and it is not a big deal to buy coach Lippi and a few foreign AIDS.

China fans are the best fans in the world, right? If you can talk, you will quit ~

However, foreign fans are very impulsive. A pile of fireworks and firecrackers easily turned the stadium into a battlefield, and fans who didn't like each other would definitely strangle each other.

But today, we don't care about these small battles, but come to give you a real lesson about the war between the two countries caused by football.

Honduras and El Salvador, both in Central and South America, fought fiercely for the qualification of the World Cup in Mexico from 65438 to 0969.

The first match between Honduras and El Salvador was held on June 8th, 1969, and the match was in a stalemate. The night before the game, Honduran fans beat gongs and drums in front of El Salvador's hotel, making a noise like domestic square dancers.

Honduras, who finally played at home, beat El Salvador with a goal of 1-0 in the 89th minute.

So a fierce conflict broke out between the fans of both sides, hanging in their throats for an hour and a half.

The second group match was held in El Salvador on June 15. Before the game, Salvadoran fans made trouble in the hotel like Hondurans. During the competition, Salvadorans raised the Honduran flag and got a piece of broken white cloth.

El Salvador abused Honduras 3-0, and Salvadoran fans fought proudly with Honduran fans at the stadium, abusing each other's flags and looking ugly (don't they all look the same? )

El Salvador fans are still throwing dead mice and rotten eggs at Honduran players. The coach of Honduras said on the bulletproof bus afterwards that although he lost the game, he was very happy to come back safely ~

1On June 29th, 969, El Salvador defeated Honduras 3-2. On the same day, because Honduras beat and expelled more than 1 10,000 Salvadoran immigrants in previous sports meetings, El Salvador announced that it had broken diplomatic relations with Honduras and the two sides began a military confrontation.

On July 14, Dalva decided to strike first, and the football war broke out.

The F-4U pirates of the Sa Air Force escorted the bombers of the C-47 transport plane, which attacked some once important places in Honduras, especially TongKangding Airport. This made it impossible for the Honduran Air Force to take off for the first time.

Then two Salvadoran armies, 12000 men, invaded Honduras in the north and south, which was quite destructive. The next day, it approached Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras (in fact, it advanced about 30 kilometers).

The Organization of American States panicked and tried to mediate the war, but the Salvadorans felt that they were still angry, so the Salvadoran side rejected the proposal of peace talks and continued fighting.

On the third day of the war, that is, July 16, with the assistance of neighboring Nicaragua, the Honduran Air Force finally changed its mind. Fighter planes took off and bombed Ilopango Airport, the capital of El Salvador, and the surrounding oil refineries, as well as the port of Aka Hutla, El Salvador's largest oil storage base.

On the fourth day, July 17, the air forces of the two countries didn't like each other, so they got together and had a fight. Originally, two small national air force vegetable chickens pecked at each other, and there was no bright spot. But this is the 1970s, and most countries in the world have entered the jet era. But the air force planes of these two countries are very backward propeller planes left over from World War II in the United States.

One vote of American electric fan plane choked these two countries, F4U pirates killed P5 1 mustang, T-28 Trojan horse fought AT-6 Texans, and one vote of South American countries was dumbfounded.

Fernando Soto, a Honduran, shot down three Salvadoran planes with pirate number 609 and was regarded as a national hero by Hondurans.

Americans probably never dreamed of this ~ this is also the last war in the world in which both sides use propeller planes.

With the progress of the war, the situation is becoming more and more deadlocked, which is increasingly unfavorable to both sides. El Salvador's air force suffered heavy losses and its strength was greatly reduced, while Hondurans were unable to drive Salvadorans out because of their inferior numbers and insufficient ammunition.

With the intervention and mediation of the Organization of American States, the two sides signed a ceasefire agreement with 1969. On July 20th, the two sides formally ceased fire, and on August 2nd, all Salvadoran troops withdrew to China.

This six-day football war is also called "100 hour war" or "six-day war in South America", and both sides of the war are losers.

Between 700 and 900 people were killed in Safang, most of them civilians, while 65,438+0,000 to 2,000 people were killed or injured in Red, of which about 250 were soldiers and the rest were civilians.

Because most of the wars were fought in Honduras, thousands of Hondurans were homeless. Salvadorans have to deal with refugees returning after the war. The war also caused the trade between El Salvador and Honduras to be almost interrupted, the border was closed, and the economies of the two countries were greatly affected. Central America * * * and the market were also closed 12 years.

It stands to reason that these two countries are small countries in Central America. In the backyard of the United States, all kinds of rubber oil are dug, and the small life should be very harmonious. This war started because the two countries are playing football. Are they playing fast? Of course not. Football is just an excuse.

The reason is still a long-standing problem in South America. El Salvador in South America is vast and sparsely populated, but a lot of land and wealth are in the hands of farmers. A large number of poor Salvadorans without land were forced to emigrate to Honduras. More and more Salvadorans have flooded into Honduras, which has seriously impacted the agricultural development of Honduras, harmed the interests of a large number of farmers and caused social unrest in Honduras.

Honduras, on the other hand, plans to drive these refugees back to El Salvador without money and land, which has caused social conflicts in El Salvador. This war is just a way for South American military dictatorships to ease social contradictions and divert people's attention, so there is such an absurd scene that the two countries have played a solid game for several football games.

1970 World Cup in Mexico, Honduras lost 0-3 to Belgium, 0-4 to Mexico, 0-2 to the Soviet Union, and El Salvador was out without a goal. (The number of points and goals conceded is the same as that of China in 2002, which is funny manually. )
