Description:
In the winter of 1947, He Huai-De, Li Bao-Qi and other pilots selected from the army rushed to Mudanjiang in Northeast China, only to find that the war situation had changed and the aviation school had already moved north to Manchuria. Braving wind and snow, He Huai-De and his companions caught up with the school's First Group. While pushing a small train up a slope, they met a female medic nicknamed "Little Pepper," He Min.
The First Group of the aviation school was built on a dilapidated airfield abandoned by the Japanese, and living and study conditions were extremely crude. Show more Group commander Chang Hao and Liu Li-Qiu, who had studied flying with the Xinjiang aviation corps, led everyone to overcome all kinds of difficulties and organized repairs on the few battered trainer planes they had. Liu Li-Qiu was killed while covering Yao Jian-Ye during an enemy air raid.
The cadets began studying aviation theory. Since most of them had only an elementary school education, they struggled with the theory. Then bandits burned down the school's fuel depot, and Li Bao-Qi lost confidence in flying, feeling it was not as satisfying as being an infantryman carrying a rifle into battle. He and two other cadets went AWOL, intending to return to their old unit. On the way they ran into a band of bandits. In the fight one cadet was killed, but they seized a cartload of gasoline and returned to the school.
Their hard training life began: assembling trainer planes, and when there was no aviation gasoline, trying alcohol as a substitute. With no primary trainers available, the First Group cadets, with the school's approval, went straight to advanced trainers — setting a precedent in world aviation history.
Chang Hao took He Huai-De and several other outstanding pilots to take part in the aerial parade of the founding ceremony of the People's Republic, flying over Tiananmen to be reviewed by the central leaders. At the gate of the Summer Palace, He Huai-De happened to meet his mother's adopted daughter, Xue Xi-Lian. She had intended to give him their mother's keepsake, but He Huai-De received a new assignment and hurried away.
Not long afterward, Chang Hao was appointed commander of the fighter regiment of the Mixed Brigade — the first aviation unit established by the Air Force — and He Huai-De followed him, transitioning to the MiG-15 fighter and serving as a flight squadron leader.
The Korean War broke out. The Mixed Brigade was expanded into an aviation division, and division commander Chang Hao led his troops to Andong to join the war to resist America and aid Korea. Xue Xi-Lian, who had joined the People's Volunteers, was at this time also selected to study flying at the Northeast aviation school, and missed He Huai-De at the transfer hub for goods and wounded personnel.
The young Chinese Air Force, though it had flown jet aircraft for only a few dozen hours, feared no powerful enemy. Cooperating with the Soviet Air Force and the Korean People's Air Force, it bravely took on the world's leading air power. Li Bao-Qi fought fiercely and impetuously and was the first to shoot down an enemy plane, feeling very proud of himself. He Huai-De, as a flight group commander, had no victories in several air battles and was under great mental pressure. He Min, who secretly loved He Huai-De, constantly encouraged him. In one air battle, He Huai-De ignored the order to return to base, craving merit and prolonging the fight, and caused a third-class accident during a forced landing, for which he was demoted. He Huai-De recognized his mistake, realizing that bravery alone was not enough — tactics mattered too. Later, fighting calmly and adopting ambush tactics, he shot down the U.S. Air Force "super ace" pilot Wills in one action. The Joint Air Command held a special victory celebration for him. At the meeting, Air Force Commander Liu, who had come specially, said with heroic spirit: "With Wills downed, the ace pilot now stands in the ranks of the Chinese Air Force!"
The Chinese Air Force grew more and more mature in combat. Deputy regiment commander Yao Jian-Ye shot down three enemy planes in six minutes, and the case was included by the Soviet Red Banner Academy as classic teaching material.
Fierce fighting continued, and the feelings between He Huai-De and the weather officer He Min deepened day by day.
Under the heavy blows of the Chinese Air Force, the U.S. Air Force was forced to pull back its area of operations to south of the Chongchon River in Korea. But when the Chinese Air Force bombed Taehwa Island, poor coordination caused heavy losses to the bomber units. Learning from this lesson, Ke Rui and He Huai-De recognized the importance of tactical coordination in the Air Force and proposed to Commander Liu the tactical concept of "one area, multiple levels, four-four system."
Because the United States attempted to break through the "MiG Alley," it sent large numbers of aircraft north, making the air war in Korea larger and fiercer. The Chinese Air Force rapidly formed a number of new aviation divisions and sent them to the front for rotating combat. Commander Liu instructed that the air war be pushed south of Pyongyang to coordinate with the armistice negotiations. Our aircraft took the initiative to strike north of the Chongchon River. In an air battle just before He Huai-De's division was to withdraw to the second line for rest and reorganization, regiment commander He Huai-De's aircraft was unfortunately hit by enemy fire. After bailing out, He Huai-De suffered a fracture of the left leg and was sent to a rear hospital for treatment. To care for the two lovers, Chang Hao arranged for He Min to be treated for cholecystitis at the same hospital and to look after He Huai-De along the way. Xue Xi-Lian, who had become one of China's first female pilots, had been pursuing He Huai-De all along. Hearing the news, she rushed to the hospital and happened to meet He Min. Xue Xi-Lian gave him their mother's dying wish that they marry. He Huai-De fell into an emotional dilemma. With astonishing willpower he overcame his pain, cooperated with treatment, had the doctor re-set the broken bone, and returned to the blue sky.
But due to a misunderstanding, a rift appeared in the relationship between He Huai-De and He Min. In a fit of pique, He Min accepted the courtship of Li Bao-Qi, who had long admired her. He Huai-De was left feeling lost.
When the Korean armistice came, Commander Liu went to the front, where hundreds of guns fired together at the airfield to celebrate victory. Liu read out the commendation order signed by Chairman Mao Zedong honoring the meritorious pilots He Huai-De, Yao Jian-Ye, Li Bao-Qi and others.
After the Korean War ended, Chang Hao, He Huai-De and Li Bao-Qi, as experienced commanders and combat backbone, were transferred to an aviation division in the Southeast to take part in the liberation of Yijiangshan Island. This was our army's first joint land-sea-air operation, and the fighting was thrilling. On the night of the victory celebration, He Huai-De and Xue Xi-Lian, and Li Bao-Qi and He Min, held their weddings at the same time. He Min revealed a pain that was hard to notice. Fortune is fickle: during the emergency deployment to Fujian for combat in 1958, Li Bao-Qi, now a regiment commander, was killed when his plane was hit by a "Sidewinder" missile fired by a Taiwan Kuomintang pilot.
As Li Bao-Qi's old comrade-in-arms and He Min's first love, He Huai-De doted on Li Bao-Qi's posthumous son, Li Liang.
Unwilling to accept their defeat in the air battles along the Southeast coast, the Taiwan authorities frequently sent U.S.-made P-2V low-altitude reconnaissance planes to intrude and harass the mainland. He Huai-De directed flight group commander Zhou Zhan-Kui to attack under radio silence and shot down a P-2V in one action.
Zhou Zhan-Kui became a hero and won the admiration of Nie Xiao-Dan, a singer with the military region's cultural troupe. But only after they married did they learn that Nie Xiao-Dan had an aunt who had been given away in childhood and later ended up in Singapore. Under the then-current rule that pilots' spouses could not have overseas connections, Zhou Zhan-Kui would have to divorce or be grounded. Just then the "Gulf of Tonkin Incident" occurred, and American aircraft bombing North Vietnam repeatedly intruded into our territory. The Air Force decided that He Huai-De's division should rush to Guangxi for rotating combat. Antiaircraft artillery units were dispatched; radar units went on alert. Although his superiors had already removed Zhou Zhan-Kui from his post as regiment commander because his wife had overseas connections, He Huai-De believed that changing commanders on the eve of battle was a great taboo in war, and refused to strip Zhou of his command authority, holding back the order and not passing it on for the time being. During the rotating combat, Liu Li-Qiu's son Liu Zhong-Xia's aircraft developed a malfunction, and he died during a forced landing while protecting an elementary school. Coupled with his failure to promptly carry out the order removing Zhou Zhan-Kui as regiment commander, after the victorious rotating combat He Huai-De was removed from office and transferred to the Military Theory Research Office as a researcher.
In Guangxi, an antiaircraft artillery unit adjacent to the airfield ambushed and shot down an American aircraft.
Zhou Zhan-Kui insisted on flying, and Nie Xiao-Dan painfully divorced her husband.
At this time, because ultra-leftist thinking battered the Air Force's development, training time for aviation units fell sharply.
Pilots' skill levels declined; some had never even flown recovery from a spin, and the accident rate in units soared. When Yao Jian-Ye, then commandant of an aviation school in the Northwest, passed through Wuzhou on his way to a meeting, He Huai-De talked with him about these things and could not help but burn with anxiety.
In the 1970s, when Premier Zhou instructed a certain air force unit to undertake an "airborne small atomic bomb test," he named He Huai-De for the heavy responsibility. To this end, his superiors decided that He Huai-De would personally command this important test.
In the skies over the great Northwest test site, a malfunction occurred in the aircraft's release system, and the atomic bomb could not be dropped. He Huai-De calmly evacuated all base personnel underground and coolly and decisively directed Zhou Zhan-Kui to land successfully with the bomb aboard, achieving a feat in the history of the Chinese Air Force. He Huai-De cared for the unfortunate He Min, and He Min suppressed her inner feelings and worked hard.
In the early 1980s, senior commander He Huai-De began with recovery from spins and vigorously pushed flight training to raise the units' flying quality. At this time, flight regiment commander Wu Guo-An, citing separation from his wife, transferred to the transport aviation force, but because he missed his own fighter aircraft, after a period of ideological struggle he resolutely returned to the fighter aviation force. After returning to his old unit, he took the initiative to tell He Huai-De that he was determined to turn over a new leaf and be a good man. Because He Huai-De cared for Li Liang even more than for his own daughter, Xue Xi-Lian also grew wary of He Min and quarreled with him. Commander Chang Hao and his wife came to their home late at night to mediate.
Zhou Zhan-Kui found Nie Xiao-Dan, hoping to remarry, but Nie Xiao-Dan was unwilling to give up the big stage in the provincial capital and follow the army to the small city of Wuzhou. Zhou Zhan-Kui had no choice but to marry a local doctor introduced by Xue Xi-Lian. But after marriage, the two differed greatly in their interests and tastes, and their relationship was never harmonious.
Li Liang had just graduated from a civilian university when the Air Force aviation school was recruiting a group of pilots with university degrees. Li Liang was admitted by exception, fulfilling a long-cherished wish. During his time at the aviation school, Li Liang visited commandant Yao Jian-Ye's home and met his daughter Yao Wei-Lan, with whom he was greatly taken. However, on his solo flight, this young man with great flying talent drove his aircraft to chase a herd of horses on a pasture and was disciplined by the school.
After two years of flight training, Li Liang, Xiang Yuan-Fang and Yang Kai became the Air Force's first group of outstanding pilots with dual degrees. Li Liang was assigned to his father's former unit and flew the "Falcon" fighter directly, quickly displaying his superb flying skill and becoming a top pilot. He was determined to devote himself even more to building the Air Force, and won considerable favor from Yao Wei-Lan. His childhood companion, the female pilot Wu Xiao-Man, had always been infatuated with Li Liang.
Deputy division commander Wu Guo-An led Li Liang and Yang Kai on an inspection visit to a European country. The other side was very arrogant and insisted on competing with Chinese Air Force pilots in a flight simulator to determine the extent of exchanges. Li Liang defeated Colonel James, a senior flying instructor who had received the Queen's medal, 3:0. Then, at the other side's request, Yang Kai, after only a brief familiarization, flew a Mirage 2000 fighter in a live air combat against Royal decorated pilot Colonel Reggie and "shot him down" in just three minutes. The Chinese Air Force pilots' 3:0 and three minutes shocked European military circles.
To improve the Air Force training system, Li Liang invited Yao Wei-Lan to jointly develop a "flight training evaluation" computer software program, with Zhou Tian sponsoring the research costs, bringing flight training to a new level.
In a television interview, host He Ping met the eloquent Xiang Yuan-Fang, and the two fell in love at first sight. Xiang Yuan-Fang had never been satisfied flying the "Eagle" fighter; he wanted only to fly the newest "Falcon" fighter. When he failed to get his wish, he became dispirited. At this time, Zhou Zhan-Kui's son Zhou Da, who had returned after studying abroad, was hired as assistant general manager of Southeast Airlines. He took a liking to Xiang Yuan-Fang and offered him a high salary, trying to lure him away to the airline. Zhou Tian repeatedly tried to persuade him, but Xiang Yuan-Fang finally could not resist the temptation and reported to his unit that he had high-altitude vertigo and was unfit to fly. When Zhou Zhan-Kui learned that his son Zhou Tian was poaching from the Air Force, he was furious and ordered the military affairs section chief to bar Zhou Tian from entering the camp. At the same time, Xiang Yuan-Fang requested retirement from service and transfer to civil aviation to fly golden routes. His father-in-law He Huai-De was greatly shaken. Li Liang asked He Ping to persuade him, but Xiang Yuan-Fang still refused to give up. In a rage, He Huai-De decided to ground Xiang Yuan-Fang and give him a severe demerit. But when choosing who would go to the elementary school on the Guangxi border for the memorial activity for Liu Zhong-Xia, he still wrote Xiang Yuan-Fang's name on the list. The memorial activity deeply moved Xiang Yuan-Fang. Before Liu Zhong-Xia's grave, he pondered for a long time. After returning to his unit, he asked the division commander to withdraw his medical record.
Led by Li Liang, Xiang Yuan-Fang and Yang Kai based their flight training on defeating the superior with the inferior and developed the "weapons platform" theory of flight tactics and strategy, winning unanimous praise and approval from military experts.
Just as He Huai-De met his old rival Wills in Beijing and talked freely with him, He Min, who had fallen ill from overwork compiling the book Research on Air Force Weather Accidents, had gastric cancer that had spread and was dying. When He Huai-De learned the news, he hurried back to see her, but He Min's heart had already stopped.
The joint land-sea-air exercise code-named "Thunder No. 1" began. He Huai-De took part in it throughout. After successfully completing the tasks of air blockade, air strikes and support for amphibious landing operations, he retired from active service. The entire redeployed aircraft group made a low-altitude pass over the field as the highest military salute to this general who had struggled for nearly half a century for the strength of the Chinese Air Force.
