Operation Torch (Creeperian: Operación Antorcha) was a Miguelist aerial bombing campaign of the city of San Salvador which lasted from May 17 to May 24, 1946. It resulted in a tactical Miguelist victory and began the Siege of San Salvador.

Operation

On the evening of May 17, 1946, the Miguelist Air Force's 15th, 27th, and 28th Air Force Wings took off from airbases in Zapatista and flew over the city of San Salvador, the Romerist capital, to destroy fortifications and disorganize the Romerist garrison in the city in preparation for a Miguelist attack on the city. The goal was to capture the city, capture strategic air and naval bases, and shatter Romerist morale in an attempt to prolong the war and drain Romerist supplies and morale. The bombardment of the city began at approximately 10:27pm San Salvador Time. The 15th Air Force Wing was tasked with strategically bombing industrial complexes, military airports, and military ship yards along the Asambio, San Salvador, and Zapatista Rivers and along the coastlines of Lake San Salvador and Lake Zapatista to slow down Romerist manufacturing and production of armor and weapons. The 27th Air Force Wing was tasked with tactically bombing Romerist Army garrisons in the San Salvador department to hamper and delay an immediate Romerist response. The 28th Air Force Wing was ordered to attack civilian targets such as homes, schools, and specifically churches to destroy morale.

The bombing of the city endured from May 17 until May 24 the following week. In that time, the Romerists responded by mobilizing their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 9th, and 11th Armies to defend the city from the Miguelist forces.

The Holy city of San Salvador shall never fall to the forces of evil. Evil will be eradicated from this city, from the Fatherland, and the planet.

— Supreme Caudillo Alfonso Cabañeras Moreno

The Romerists also engaged the 3rd, 4th, and 7th Air Force Wings to retaliate against the Miguelist bombings and to alleviate the city from bombardment.
