Chapter 1: Defection to the Angry Sea
In the cockpit of DC-3, there is only one pilot, Chen Zikun, who has a long road ahead and is completely dark, completely relying on the compass and stars to guide the direction, and the plane remains silent on the radio, because this is a black plane with no identity and no call sign.
The son's family and eldest daughter failed to catch the plane, what kind of punishment awaits them, Chen Zikun doesn't know, and he doesn't want to think about it, he is not only the head of the family, but also the fate of dozens of people on the plane, if the plane is stopped, it will be more than his own children and grandchildren who will be sacrificed.
There was a large group of people in the cabin, Yan Xiaosong had already been tied up and stuffed with rags in his mouth, and after the plane took off, everyone put their hearts at ease and talked and laughed, as if they had arrived in Hong Kong, and they didn't know that more trouble was waiting for them.
After taking off from Jiangdong, there is still a domestic range of at least 2,000 kilometers, as long as it is discovered by radar and the fighter takes off to intercept it, it is a dead word, and the DC-3 is not Taiwan's Black Bat reconnaissance aircraft squadron, and it can fly above the interception altitude of the fighter, this is just a scrapped classic aircraft more than 30 years old, no matter in the face of fighters, anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-aircraft guns, there is no chance to run.
Long-distance flights, or night flights, need ground guidance, but Chen Zikun does not even have a co-pilot, can only face all the problems alone, he is almost 70 years old, his body is not as good as when he flew the plane to bomb Japan, he flew very hard, very hard.
In order to prevent radar, the plane flew at a low altitude, thanks to Chen Zikun when he was the director of the aviation committee, he flew a lot of routes, and the landmarks were very familiar, but they were inevitably discovered.
The air force radar station was questioned on the radio: "The passenger plane on Route 255, please identify yourself." ”
Chan remained silent.
After a while, the sound of the Air Force tower dispatching fighter jets came over the radio.
"Read Chairman Mao's book, listen to Chairman Mao's words, do things according to Chairman Mao's instructions, 0173 check and ask to drive."
"To be a good soldier of Chairman Mao, 0173 can drive, the wind is 45 degrees, three to five meters, and it takes off from south to north."
"Don't fight the battle of the uncertain, 0173 asks to slip out."
"Follow the direction guided by Chairman Mao, 0173 enters the second runway and is allowed to take off."
At least one fighter fighter was lifted into the air to intercept, and the night combat readiness mission should be the new J-6, equipped with a 30-millimeter cannon, with powerful firepower, and the speed of the jet fighter far exceeds that of the DC3, an old propeller transport aircraft, if it is targeted by a fighter, it will definitely die.
Chen Zikun hurriedly lowered the nose of the plane and entered the radar blind spot, and sure enough, the fighter planes that had lost the guidance of the tower were like headless flies crashing everywhere, and they could not find their targets at all.
There was no danger, and finally passed, and when I looked back, the people in the cabin were still talking and laughing, completely unaware of the brushing shoulders with death.
Master Niu came from the cabin, sat in the passenger seat, and said in a low voice: "The right engine is leaking." ”
Chen Zikun looked back, there was a faint trace behind the right engine under the moonlight, the hydraulic oil leaked, it was not too serious, he simply turned off the right engine, stepped on the right foot full pedal, the rudder to the right limit position, and flew south at a cruising speed of 140 knots.
It should be Jiangxi below, Lao Niu asked.
"It's Jiangxi." Chen Zikun did not have the confidence to say this, because there was no reference, he only knew to fly south, and he was not sure what direction was under his feet.
The land of China at night is pitch black.
People are old, lack of energy, strong to fly for seven hours, finally see the distant coastline, the passengers in the cabin are asleep, one person accidentally woke up, see the sea can not help but cry out in surprise, everyone was woken up, also cheered, since you see the sea, it is not far from the goal.
Chan was worried, his compass was out of order, he was almost out of fuel, and he didn't know what latitude and longitude was under his feet, but one thing was certain, and that was that it was not Hong Kong down there.
There is no turning back when the bow is opened, and now it can only fly forward, which country it flies to.
After another half an hour of flying, the sun had risen, and according to the position of the sun, it could be judged that it had deviated a lot from the course, and now it should be in the western direction of Hong Kong, and below was the vast sea, and there was no reference, so it could only go west according to the direction and strive to fly to South Vietnam.
Black smoke began to come out of the engine on the left side, and the fuel pointer pointed to the end.
"Tell everyone, prepare for a crash landing." Chen Zikun said, staring ahead, firmly grasping the joystick.
Lao Niu came to the cabin and told everyone that the plane was out of fuel and was going to make a forced landing on the sea, and suddenly there was a cry, Yan Su untied the rope on his grandson's body, Yan Xiaosong was so frightened that he spoke, and shrank in the corner and trembled.
There are also some people who are very calm, Xia Xiaoqing said lightly: "It's not a good thing that everyone can die together." ”
Some people began to recite Chairman Mao's quotations: "Overcome all difficulties, and be afraid of sacrifice...... Chairman Mao blessed. ”
Some people also began to chant the Buddha, some people drew crosses on their chests, in short, they were all temporary Buddha's feet.
The plane apparently began to descend, vibrating violently, causing a burst of screams, and finally landed on the surface of the sea and began to sink slowly.
Chan walked over from the cockpit, opened the hatch, and ordered everyone to get off the plane.
Outside is the windless three-foot sea, no lifebuoy, no boat, jumping out is a death, but staying in the cabin can only sink into the sea, fortunately, there are some life jackets on the plane, hurriedly put on and jump off the hatch, and swim away.
On the vast sea, a group of outlaws floated, and in the distance the plane gradually sank into the sea, looking around, there were no islands and coasts, no ships passing by, and they didn't even know what they were going to do, so they could only wait for death slowly.
In the South China Sea in July, the sun was raging, and the sun made people's eyes dazzled, and no one complained about anything now, just went with the flow.
Yan Su gave his granddaughter a life jacket to wear, stepped on the water himself, and let Lang hit in waves.
"Grandpa, I'm thirsty." Yan Xiaosong cried.
The sea water is bitter and brackish and cannot be drunk, and the luggage has long sunk into the sea with the plane, so how can there be clear water to drink.
There are not many life jackets, which can only be worn by the old and infirm, and the rest of the people are holding empty boxes and empty oil drums to tread water, but it is not a way to go on like this, and they will still die at the bottom of the sea after exhaustion.
Just when everyone was desperate, a pillar of smoke appeared where the sea and the sky met, and there was a boat.
……
Company Commander Zhang, the military representative of the Chenguang Machinery Factory, and 12 rebels of the factory's picket team encountered accidents on the way to hunt down Ma Chunhua and Chen Bei, and all of them died, the truck was also detonated and burned, and the criminals also died in the explosion, leaving no physical evidence.
Because the incident was on a provincial road, the nearest village was also a kilometer, and there were no vehicles passing by on the road, so there were no eyewitnesses, and the only person present was Chen Bei and Ma Chunhua's son Chen Guang, but he was so stupid that he couldn't speak, and he couldn't restore the scene at all.
More than a dozen people died in one go, and if this case is a particularly major case that would have alarmed the central government in normal times, it can be placed in 1967, when martial arts were in full swing, and it was really not a big deal, the armed fighting of the port authority used machine guns and cannons, and more than 30 people died, and the armed fighting of the Red Steel Plant even drove out of the home-made armored vehicles, and there was a three-day and three-night fight between the royalists and the rebels, and tracer bullets were visible all night, and even the People's Liberation Army task force came forward to mediate, and it is said that at least 100 people died.
In this case, who still has the leisure to care about the Chenguang Factory.
Chen Guang was sent to the factory hospital, still did not speak, his eyes were glazed, and after the half-bottle vinegar factory doctor examined it, he said that the child was frightened, and said that it was scientific, it was a neuropathy, and it could not be cured.
The child's father and mother are gone, and Beitai has no relatives, and the factory is busy rebelling and making revolutions, and no one is interested in caring about him, so he was thrown in the infirmary.
The charred corpses in the truck were cleaned up, most of them had been blown up by grenades, and they were hastily put together, packed in urns, and taken away by each family.
Liu Yuan silently came to take the urn, and came to the infirmary to hold Chen Guang: "Child, go home." ”
Chen Guang looked at her and obediently followed.
When I returned home, the eldest brother Liu Xiaoyong and his wife were also there, discussing the matter of the brother-in-law's case, and seeing that the younger sister brought a child back, the sister-in-law reproached: "The Chen family is not without one, I need you to come forward, now is an extraordinary time." ”
Liu Yuan said: "It's nothing very unusual, our family has become like this, I don't care." ”
Liu Xiaoyong also said: "How do you say this, how can we also be relatives, the child has no father, can't we take care of it temporarily?" Tomorrow I will take a telegram to the provincial capital, the loss of a child in old age, a great sorrow in life. ”
The sister-in-law said: "Count me too much, by the way, before Guangyin escorts the salt lake farm tomorrow, the family can still meet, and my brother and sister-in-law will accompany you." ”
Liu Yuan said: "Okay." ”
……
An inexplicable plane escaped from the provincial capital, carrying a group of *** and their families on board, which is also a strange case.
The provincial department lacked case-handling personnel, so Xu Tingge was reactivated, and he took the lead in organizing a group of criminal investigation experts who had been defeated to form the 717 task force to solve the case together with the air force security department.
In the neurology ward of the First People's Hospital of the province, Chen Yan is doing rounds, Ma Yunqing in the special care ward has woken up, the operation is very successful, not only to save his name, but also to recover well, Mrs. Ma is full of praise for Dr. Chen's superb medical skills.
"Pay attention to rest, and call the nurse in time if there is any situation." Chen Yan left after giving an explanation, but as soon as she left the ward, she was stopped by two public security policemen, handcuffed her, and escorted away.
Chen Yan naturally understood what was happening, she naturally covered her handcuffs with a white coat and followed the police down the stairs.
This scene was seen by Mrs. Ma and hurriedly reported to Ma Yunqing.
"You're not well yet. What should I do if Dr. Chen is arrested? Mrs. Ma said.
Ma Yunqing pondered for a moment and said, "Give me the political and legal committee." ”
Governor Ma is a person in power who has not been defeated, and his words still work, but this case is too big, and he can't speak well, Chen Yan was locked up in the public security bureau and stayed up all night to ask, but he didn't say a word.
"Maybe it's flying to Beijing, right?" Someone in the task force also analyzed it in this way.
The whole country is in chaos, all kinds of information can not be summarized, can only wait for the news from all sides, after five days, gradually have eyebrows, Chen Zikun did not go to Beijing, 717 night Jiangxi radar station found an unknown passenger plane, had sent fighter jets to intercept, did not find the target.
Chen Zikun's son and daughter-in-law were on their way to escape the study class when they clashed with the working group and caused an explosion and died on the spot.
A group of old Chen subordinates in the provincial capital, including his relative rightist Lin Wenlong, all disappeared.
All indications are that Chan did defect.
