0277 Chinese Air Force, as you wish

It was supposed to be an ordinary trip.

At the opening ceremony of the Moscow Air Show, then Russian President Boris Yeltsin personally visited the site.

Kovochur, a former Soviet Union "flight hero", a Russian meritorious test pilot, and known as the "God Pilot" by Western countries, flew a Su-30 fighter plane and performed aerobatic performances.

After the opening ceremony, Kovochul, whose flying skills had reached the level of worship in the aviation world, offered to accompany General Tiger to experience flying the Su-30, and General Tiger, who was 70 years old at the time, readily agreed.

At 16:50 on August 23, 1997, General Tiger piloted the Su-30 fighter plane to perform aerobatic maneuvers in the sky: somersaults, semi-somersaults, rolling, ultra-low-altitude passage through the airport, and sharp turns at low altitudes with large slopes.

At 5 p.m., everyone was ready to leave their seats.

I saw that the Su-30 fighter rose with a lever and went straight to the sky, the fighter hovered in the air, the nose pointed straight to the sky, and made the world's most difficult maneuver Cobra maneuver!

The Cobra maneuver with an angle of attack of the aircraft approaching one hundred and twenty degrees shocked everyone present.

"That year, General Tiger was seventy years old, and when General Tiger came out of the cabin, all the ace pilots saluted and applauded him." Wang Liang recalled.

Last night, General Tiger passed away at the age of ninety-one.

He is Wang Liang's best friend.

"Lao Lin, our Chinese Air Force already has its own fifth-generation aircraft, and we don't have to look at anyone's face in the future. This is the hard work of the old air force of this generation of the republic! We no longer have to fight with others for a fighter, we don't have to scold our mother for another fighter, and we don't have to look up and be silent under other people's blue skies. Chinese Air Force, as you wish, go well! ”

After saying this, Wang Liang, who was sitting in the back row, cried like a child and couldn't cry.

Before getting on the plane, Wang Liang edited a Weibo post.

[A glass of turbid wine talks about heroes, and the general Yushu is coming when the wind comes. I didn't know how to get drunk when I was drunk, and I fell down with more than a dozen friends. Outspoken General Tiger, the iron words in the tent once swore an oath. Athletic as a dragon and tiger, somersaults at high altitudes. Who said that the general of the DPRK is old? A piece of Dan's heart sends mountains and rivers! 】

[Bloody years to protect Liaodong, Rong Tian sued Chengzhong all his life. The flying tiger is gone tonight, and the heroic soul is still guarding the sky. 】

Pictured: General Tiger in a general's uniform, gray-haired General Tiger stands under the blue sky.

The old comrade-in-arms is gone, Wang Liang's mood is difficult to calm down for a long time, even on the plane, the past still keeps resurfaced in front of Wang Liang's eyes.

At the end of the 40s, when he was at the Northeast Aviation School, the bandit leader Xie Wendong led a large number of minions to besiege the aviation school.

In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in the early 50s, General Hu won the record of shooting down and damaging one enemy plane in a fierce air battle.

But then General Tiger's plane was also besieged by two enemy planes, was hit, and crashed near the Qingchuan River.

After parachuting, General Tiger was strafed by two enemy F86 fighters, and his comrades died heroically.

And General Tiger fell into the sea, and he swam desperately before he climbed ashore, and was found by the local Korean people and survived.

Looking back on the course of the old man's life, thinking that the comrades-in-arms who fought side by side were gone, Wang Liang's heart was like a knife.

In the comment area, the news network has posted an obituary, and netizens have also got the news, and they have expressed their remembrance.

"Tiger in the forest, proud son in the army! The old general is mighty! Salute! ”

"Old general, you go all the way. In 93, I was fortunate enough to see you at the Shantou radar station, and I still remember your voice and smile, you ......"

"Thinking about the courage of the generals back then, he resolutely enlisted in the army. The tiger in the forest, the dragon in the sea, with wings and feathers, turned into a kunpeng. Kill the enemy in the sky and defend the hero of the country! Soaring above the clouds, roaring to drive war eagles. Brothers admire, and the American imperialists are terrified. At the negotiation table, he used clever strategies to protect the country. When you are old and strong, you can take off again, and the difficult action is like a cobra flying. Shocked to learn the bad news, the star fell, the military flag was half rolled, and the military music was mourned. Xie Feihu in the airspace, the motherland comforts the loyal soul! Wish: immortal, mighty and long-lasting. ”

"General Lin Hu went all the way, you did your best for the modernization of the Chinese Air Force / shed tears"

"A few years ago, I specifically looked up General Lin Hu's information on the Internet, just because he completed the Cobra maneuver at the age of seventy. Salute General Tiger, and since then there has been another star of famous generals in the sky, guarding the republic with his comrades. ”

"The old man is in ambush, with a thousand miles of ambition, and the martyr is in his twilight years, and his heart is strong. The old general is above, and the younger generation is here to bow down to you, and I hope the old general will go all the way. ”

[Only this chapter recalls General Lin Hu.] General Lin's life is a life of fighting, a life of heroes, a life of dedication, he dedicated everything he had to the blue sky of the motherland, we need to always remember such a hero of the republic! Veterans don't die! 】

——————————

The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Liang and Sun Weimin rushed to the martyrs' cemetery and offered a bouquet of flowers in front of General Hu's tomb.

Standing in front of the tomb, Wang Liang, who wanted to say a lot, couldn't say a word.

"Grandpa, the convoy is here."

Hearing Sun Weimin's words, Wang Liang gave General Hu another military salute, and then moved to the gate of the martyr's cemetery.

Today is a special day.

Two and a half hours ago, between the blue sky and white clouds, the J-11 fighter formation approached the Sino-South Korean air defense border in a combat formation.

Two hours ago, at South Korea's Incheon airport, a Chinese Air Force Il-76 transport plane carrying the remains of 36 volunteer martyrs and related relics took off.

Half an hour later, two Il-76 transport planes entered Chinese airspace.

The J-11 fighter formation sent by the Chinese Air Force escorted the entire flight and escorted the martyrs of the volunteers back to their motherland.

In this way, the Chinese Air Force expresses their noble tribute to the martyrs.

When he saw the convoy loaded with the remains of the martyrs slowly driving into the cemetery, Wang Liang was silent for a long time, it was not the first time he had seen such a scene, and it was not the first time that he had been moved.

As early as 2014, Chinese Air Force fighters carried out such escort missions.

The remains of the 437 volunteer martyrs were escorted all the way by Air Force fighters, and the dialogue between the pilots over the radio brought tears to people's eyes.

"We are China Eastern Airlines Flight 056, and we are destined to send the remains of volunteer soldiers to Shenyang."

"Welcome the volunteers to return home, our two planes are ordered to escort you throughout the journey!"

This short conversation is particularly impressive, because behind it, there are so many indelible and unforgettable memories.

That belonged to Wang Liang and his generation, how many volunteer martyrs were killed in a foreign land in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

Today, the ceremony to welcome the 36 martyrs of the Volunteer Army is supported by Wang Liang.

Because, these 36 martyrs of the Volunteer Army were all members of the special commando team led by Wang Liang back then.
