The four government meteors flew over the smoke-filled Presidential Palace and continued patrolling the capital, trying to find the rebels.
In the first air battle, the naval aviation achieved brilliant results. It not only bombed the Rose Palace, but also damaged a Scandinavian Airlines and Aerolineas Argentinas passenger plane, as well as an AT-11.
Today's naval rebels did find a good opportunity. It was already past 12 noon, the visibility was still very low, and there was heavy fog.
All that could be seen was that the Presidential Palace was in flames. The people in the Presidential Palace quickly called the fire brigade to prepare to put out the raging fire.
Low visibility caused by bad weather made it difficult for government forces to search for the coup party's aircraft.
General Thomas Jr. of the Ministry of National Defense calmly commanded remotely from the National Defense Building. He immediately ordered his personnel to arrange rows of anti-aircraft cannons. He had a hunch that they would bomb the Rose Palace again.
At the same time, he had telegraphed personnel from the Capital Garrison to come over and take over the defense of Buenos Aires.
The National Police Agency's firepower was insufficient to deal with these jet fighters.
Now his duty is still to protect the country's president, and he did not participate in this coup assassination operation.
At any time, assassinating a top leader who has been elected normally is a betrayal of the country.
At least it's a betrayal of the Argentine people.
Little Tomps absolutely and will not tolerate this kind of behavior.
At least it shouldn't happen in a modern civilized country.
The elites of Blue Delta also closely protected him and provided him with intelligence support.
Thomas Jr. is currently the top person in charge of the Ministry of Defense. Although other generals do not support the coup, some are not in the Ministry of Defense, and some are neutrals.
He ordered the Air Ministry personnel to deal with these rebels with all their strength.
The Meteor formation is flying 4 aircraft and is still cruising.
Lieutenant Garcia, who was driving the Meteor F4, found a navy aircraft about 5 kilometers away.
Lieutenant Garcia was a die-hard supporter of Bilon. He saw two Naval Aviation AT-6s flying over the October 17th Airport.
He quickly ordered three wingmen to follow him, waiting for the opportunity to shoot down these aircraft.
Four jets approached the slow Hainan AT-6 in a ladder formation.
Warrant Officer Maximo Kelly and Officer Candidate Armando Roman of the rebel army were preparing to land at this airport to refuel. They were very excited about the successful air raid.
Since they received instructions while fighting, it stands to reason that most of the pilots in the 7th Air Group had previously agreed to support the coup.
They misjudged and thought that the four Meteor F4s were their own, and quickly swayed their wings in salute.
In order not to alert the enemy, Garcia gave the other party the same response.
A minute later, Garcia approached Chief Warrant Officer Kelly's aircraft.
The cannon was turned on and fired suddenly, but missed.
Kelly was shocked, alarm bells rang in his heart, and he quickly called Armando next to him.
"Armando, they are government troops, be careful to avoid them."
Kelly swooped down at a high angle to a few meters above the Tigray District train station, and with superb flying skills, instantly pulled into the clouds over the San Isidro District.
Kelly's usual flying skills came in handy.
Successfully flew back to the backup airport in Esaisa.
This airport is also controlled by the rebels.
At the same time, three other government planes were ordered to attack another Armando plane.
The situation was very dangerous, and the unfortunate Armando closed his eyes in despair.
"I'm going to see you soon, God."
Armando prepared his last words.
However, Oresa and Rossito of the government forces were also on the side of the coup. They deliberately missed and missed.
The results of the first wave of battles were zero.
But Adradas on the third plane was very firm in his stance and he took serious aim at the enemy.
The four 20mm cannons on the plane fired a salvo, and tongues of flame spurted out, hitting Armando's right side, instantly igniting the main wing and tearing the wing apart.
It failed to hit the enemy plane's fuel tank.
Armando came back from his prayers and saw that the right wing was torn off and the plane was still flying north. He quickly opened the cabin and successfully parachuted out before the plane crashed.
Watching the plane crash into the river, he also fell into the Plata River. Fortunately, the navy was basically good at water, so he calmed down and quickly swam to the nearest ship.
He just hoped to escape to Uruguay.
10 minutes later, he was picked up.
Unfortunately, it was a Coast Guard patrolman.
The people at the Metropolitan Police Department are still Bilon loyalists.
Armando was shivering all over. The water temperature of the La Plata River in winter was very low. He was wearing a military uniform and was almost dying.
This is the first Jets record in Latin America.
A few minutes later, Lieutenant Colonel Carlos Thistle, commander of the 1st Squadron of the 7th Air Group, arrived at the air base.
He took off in the No. 52 Meteor aircraft, and after receiving the order, he prepared to attack the naval aircraft staying at the Ethiopian airport.
Thistle received a warning on the Air Force radio that there was an anti-aircraft gun at the airport, and he flexibly flew over the building at low altitude and at high speed.
Fortunately, the buildings in Buenos Aires are not very tall these days.
The pilots of the two AT-6s staying at the airport, the naval aviation mistakenly believed that Thistle was also on the side of supporting the coup, and it was not until the "Meteor" began to shoot at the aircraft on the tarmac that they began to defend.
When Thistle made his first pass, Ribeiro Kelly's plane arrived and he immediately launched an attack.
Four cannons swept across the airport ground.
But the AT-6 was not hit.
He then attacked an AT-11 and a PBY, which fired back with self-defense machine guns.
The PBY's fuel tank exploded instantly, and two naval pilots who were too late to take off were forcibly cremated.
As for the machine gun attack from the opposite side, he evaded the attack with high speed and flexibility, flew a few kilometers and then turned around.
His plane was intact.
When he entered for the third time and was about to attack the remaining two aircraft, the cannon of the No. 52 aircraft he was flying jammed.
Thistle had no choice but to fly the plane back to Moron Air Force Base in despair.
"Rubbish British stuff!"
Thistle cursed.
Then he quickly went to have the aircraft inspected.
I can only wait anxiously.
At this moment, another team of coup pilots flying Meteor F4 also took off from Moron Air Force Base.
One of the main missions of these jets was also to attack local radio antennas and the Rose Palace in support of naval operations.
Lieutenant Juan Burrell was the first to take off with the task of destroying the antenna, and he completed the task perfectly.
But soon the government army's backup antenna was activated, General Tomps calmly continued to arrange the encirclement and suppression work, and the Ministry of National Defense had resumed command work.
Following Little Tomps' arrangements, a large number of officers were summoned.
Knowing that Bilong was safe, the morale of the army had been restored.
Today, the workers did not demonstrate today, but even organized to maintain order.
Bilon gave a speech at the safe house, calling on Buenos Aires citizens to protect themselves.
"This is a military rebellion. We are well prepared and we will exterminate the rebellion as soon as possible. Citizens, please rest assured..."
Bilong contacted the Ministry of National Defense and quickly arranged for some officials to carry out security maintenance work.
The time soon came to afternoon.
At 14:58, the rebel army issued an order to prepare for a joint air attack with the navy on the Rose Palace.
A group of Navy aircraft took off at 15:51 for joint operations.
Air Force Rebels and Naval Aviation conduct joint combat operations.
The second battle begins,
Hainan Airlines' AT-6, AT-11 and PBY aircraft flew low along Rivadavia Avenue connecting the base to the Presidential Palace.
When they were about to arrive at the Parliament Building not far to the west of the Presidential Palace, they lowered themselves to the height of the roof and flew between the two rows of buildings on May Street. A few seconds later, they reached the sky above the Plaza de Mayo and fired at the Rose Palace with machine guns to suppress the second wave. Anti-aircraft fire deployed after an air raid.
Second Lieutenant Guglielmo Palacio of the rebel air force, driving a Meteor F4, threw the belly fuel tank as an incendiary bomb, but only destroyed a few cars parked near the Presidential Palace and did not hit the Rose Palace.
The air raids continued throughout the afternoon, with planes flying between Moron and Plaza de Mayo.
The capital's radio antennas were attacked again, and at this time the 3rd Motorized Infantry Regiment of the Capital Garrison began to advance towards Esaisa Airport.
General Thomas Jr. of the Department of Defense personally took over the infantry regiment and directed the attack plan, intending to take over the coup airport and clear out the rebels.
The car destroyed by Palacio's "napalm bomb" in front of the Plaza de Mayo has been burned to only its skeleton.
The anti-aircraft cannon was destroyed by the rebel air force, and one of the navy's AT-6s was shot by the cannon and exploded into sparks in the air.
As fighting raged in the capital, the situation became clearer by late afternoon.
Without the support of the army and most of the air force, the coup was on the verge of failure.
The six "Meteors" of the coup party had no choice but to defect to the neighboring country of Uruguay.
This is a preliminary plan.
There is also a huge fleet behind him-a Fiat G.55, two C-54s, 7 C-47s, 3 PBYs, 4 AT-11s and 10 AT-6s of the Naval Aviation.
Three of the Meteor F4s used anti-aircraft guns to attack the Buenos Aires Central Police Office and the Rose Palace while running.
The fire that had just been extinguished started to burn again. A dozen firefighters were preparing to evacuate in the fire truck when they were hit by shrapnel and unfortunately died.
Several police officers who were maintaining law and order also died.
Among the six Meteors that fled to Uruguay, Jarno's No. 64 Meteor F4 ran out of fuel and made an emergency landing on the Plata River.
Meteor F4 No. 29 made an emergency landing on the outskirts of Buenos Aires with its landing gear retracted.
The remaining four sorties safely arrived at the military airport in Montevideo, Uruguay.
These Uruguayan Air Force personnel curiously inspected these Meteor aircraft. Their most advanced fighter before was the P-51d "Mustang", and many people had never seen a jet aircraft.
The President of Uruguay ordered the military to protect these aircraft, but did not respond to the departure or departure of these Argentine pilots.
At 6 p.m., the rebels were defeated.
Two other infantry regiments from the Ministry of Defense also moved into the capital, taking over three airports and controlling major transportation routes outside the city.
Bilon declared martial law in the capital and implemented military management.
Moron Air Force Base is under martial law.
The news that Navy and Air Force aircraft raided the capital this time spread to all parts of the country through various channels.
The results of this coup frightened many people in the country, including those in the military.
The prestige of the current presidential palace is actually not low, and Bilong easily suppressed the rebellion of these people.
Many people from the National Intelligence Service were arrested.
Many people from the navy and air force were also imprisoned.
The army of Cordoba continued to be silent.
The people in the church said a few words without any pain.
…
June 11, 10:30 am, Beijun Port,
The discussion on the new Arrow 2 aircraft was in the second half. Dr. Tan Ke adjusted his glasses.
"Mr. Mayor, we hope that the special steel factory can develop more useful aircraft materials. Although this steel called 304 stainless steel is not bad, many problems were also discovered during the experiment."
San Jose has proposed a research and development project for the next generation of aircraft, that is, a second-generation supersonic aircraft, which requires more advanced high-energy alloys, and 304 stainless steel is not suitable at all.
"If we want to produce the next generation Arrow 3 according to your wishes, it will definitely not be enough. 304 stainless steel cannot meet the needs of supersonic speed at all."
Dr. Tan Ke is still very satisfied with the current situation of the aircraft design institute.
With Argentina's weak industrial base, it actually invented an excellent high-energy alloy.
"The special steel plant is conducting intensive experiments, but it still takes time."
Saint Jesé's tone was a little helpless. There was no problem smelting steel in Argentina, but the smelting of some alloys was a problem.
If they cannot be imported from abroad, they have to do it themselves. However, the refining of rare metals such as manganese, lithium, molybdenum, titanium, tungsten, nickel, and chromium is indeed very troublesome.
For the Argentines now, this is simply an impossible task.
The ability to produce 304 stainless steel is almost the current limit, and so far only more than ten tons of 304 stainless steel have been produced.
This is the reason why imported materials were purchased.
It also requires a lot of capital investment, and some minerals are difficult to mine. The exploration speed of Thunder Mining is very impressive.
"Let me figure it out. The production of these metals takes time."
Argentina does not lack these metal ores, but whether it is refining or mass production, it takes a lot of time to mine the minerals and conduct experiments.
It is already very good to be able to use 304 stainless steel.
"It is best to use steel alloy as the shell material. Steel alloy is a must. In fact, aluminum alloy is a very good material."
Dr. Tank could only remind him again.
“Is it really necessary to build an aluminum alloy factory?”
Saint Jesé thought helplessly that he wanted to use 304 because Argentina could not produce aluminum alloys at the moment.
Even for ordinary aluminum alloys, the investment scale is too large, and Argentina currently does not have bauxite resources, so it is not his style to make small investments.
Not to mention that aviation aluminum alloy also requires a lot of metals to be smelted together.
In his view, it is currently more difficult to produce 100,000 tons of aluminum alloy than to build a 2 million-ton steel plant.
At least it's hard now.
He didn't really want to invest in this thing.
He can afford the large investments in fertilizer plants and oil refineries alone, which will almost consume more than half of Barron's current foreign currency.
As the saying goes, bite off more than you can chew.
At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Saint Jose stood up slowly after receiving the official news.
We discussed it with General Jose. To be honest, Jose didn't get the news, but he also had a bad premonition.
Dr. Tank wisely left the discussion and called the other designers away.
He showed no concern for these.
As a technical worker.
He learned his lesson in Germany.
Don't get involved in politics easily, otherwise you will be easily killed. He thought of those designer friends who were put on trial.
And St. Jose once again lamented that the navy in Indian Point was too courageous, and this time the air force was involved.
To be honest, this assassination operation can also be seen to be very hasty.
He estimated that the biggest scapegoats were the colonels, and none of the generals were passive.
"Cohen, these people are too brave."
