The overall pattern composition is "round, black bat, Big Dipper". Black bats fly by sound waves at night, similar to the working principle of radar. Bat wings break through the night, representing the heroism and rainbow morale of arduous tasks; The Big Dipper stands for direction and navigation, and three big stars and four small stars stand for the 34th Squadron. Now everyone who knows where the team emblem came from has passed away. The above contents were learned orally by Major Li Chongshan, who is still alive. The reconnaissance voyage through important military bases is set by the CIA. Then the hardcover cannon fodder of the Black Bat Squadron set off around 4 pm and entered the mainland airspace after dusk. With advanced electronic equipment and superb technology, under the cover of night, according to the "minimum safe altitude" criterion, fly at a low altitude of 100 to 200 meters, and sometimes fly at an ultra-low altitude of about 30 meters in the boundless night sky to avoid radar. For radar, the electronic equipment on the reconnaissance plane can record radio wave data, and then compare and analyze the reconnaissance results at high and low altitude to find out the positions of radar, missiles and anti-aircraft guns. On the second trip, you can electronically counter the interference, so that the radar can't see the incoming plane, and the war tube will be ineffective and blind.
Prepare aircraft, mainly RB- 17G and P-2V reconnaissance planes. A reconnaissance plane modified from B-26 bomber, RB-69A light bomber and C- 123 transport plane was used, and C- 130 transport plane was also used in special missions.
Fly for more than 30 hours in two days.
"Black Bat" flew in and out of the mainland for low-altitude reconnaissance, and even a RB- 17G flew over nine provinces in the mainland continuously, which made the mainland military very nervous. After all, at that time, the mainland's military air force was weak and air defense was close to zero, so it had to urgently beg the Soviet Union for fighter planes. Finally, only a batch of MIG-17 all-weather fighters and radar equipment were imported, and the tactics of night interception were successfully carried out, but Taiwan Province Province did not know about the assistance to the Soviet Union.
Fly for more than 30 hours in two days. 1959 May 29th was a bad day for bats. As usual, Li Defeng, the pilot of the 34th Squadron, said goodbye to his wife Meng Xiaobo. It was raining in Mao Mao that day, and she hoped that the mission would be cancelled. He went on a mission yesterday and got home this morning. Less than two hours after he entered the door, the team came to rush again. It is estimated that the total flight time in two days will be more than 30 hours, that is, 48 hours. Although there are three pilots on the plane who can take shifts, I'm afraid no one has leisure to sleep.
On the same day, the National Military Intelligence Agency sent two RB- 17G 835 "and 8 15" planes to conduct reconnaissance in South China at the same time. They were driven by Xu and entered the mainland from southern Guangdong, with the former heading east and the latter heading west. Although the voyage to the west is long, the air defense of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is weak, and it is recognized as the easiest and safest waterway. On the contrary, Li Defeng also thought he was unlucky and muttered a few words.
After two RB- 17G entered Chinese mainland's airspace, Li Defeng was locked by the China People's Liberation Army Air Force and immediately pursued. However, due to its small detection area, it returned to Taiwan Province Province after completing the mission and left the mainland first. The mainland military turned to encirclement and suppression of the "August 15 th" plane, which was piloted by three flight officers, including Xu, Zhu, and others, in addition to an electronic officer, Fu Dingchang, pilots Huang Fuzhou, Zhao Chengjiu, Fu, correspondent Chen, mechanic Huang, Song Dizhou, airdropped soldier Li Deshan, airdropped soldier Chen Yaxing, and * *14 members.
Late at night 1 1: 00, Chinese mainland Guangzhou radar station found that the "August 15" plane was returning to Guangdong from Guangxi, ready to return to sea, and would be out of trouble in three minutes. The mainland military seized the last chance, and Jiang Zhelun, the squadron leader of the night flight brigade of the Air Force 18 Division, took off at 2300 hours to meet the enemy. The "8 15" plane about to go to sea was in danger and was shot twice. The first time I was attacked by a MIG plane and caught fire, I missed the key, but it was still very strong. The crew on board fled to the south at ultra-low altitude when fighting the fire, but they were locked by radar. Not long after, MIG-17 caught up with the fire, and the "8 15" plane couldn't hold on any longer and finally fell to En.
The shooting down of the "August 15" plane did not stop the black bat from going deep into the mainland and becoming a martyr. The 34th Squadron began to change into a P2V reconnaissance plane with more advanced and better monitoring equipment. On the night of June 1963, Zhou Yili, commander of the 34th Squadron, led the crew to enter the mainland at 8 o'clock, crossing Hangzhou, Nanjing, Han and other places. He used electronic reconnaissance and interference to work closely with his comrades on the same plane. If they entered the no-man's land, the mainland air force sent eight sorties to intercept them, including MiG-17 and Tu -4. They followed them for several hours without success. At midnight, this P2V flew around Chinese mainland, passing 1350 kilometers, and entered the territory of Jiangxi Province. That's the 24th Fighter Aviation Division of the China People's Liberation Army Air Force stationed in Nanchang. Lieutenant Wang Wenli is very lucky. When he was flying MIG-17 alone, he found that the planes were attacking one by one. This fatal blow caused the plane to crash in Dawokeng, Linchuan, Jiangxi. And his colleagues Chen and Huang.
The "August 15th" plane crashed. At that time, the military of Taiwan Province Province said that the plane disappeared while performing an airdrop mission over Guangdong, and the life and death of the crew were uncertain. In fact, all the reconnaissance planes crashed, and the notifications received by relatives were "missing", not "dead". Under the closure of information and the deliberate concealment of the military, family members always have a glimmer of hope, perhaps parachuting to escape, or being injured and captured.
It took 33 years to know the truth.
More than 30 years have passed, and the miracle expected by family members has not appeared. Fu Yiping, a widow, said that she didn't know the truth until 33 years later, at the end of 1992. When Fu Yiping was a child, his neighbor accidentally read an article in Global Defense magazine, reporting the details of the accident and the burial place of the "August 15" plane: Li Huawei, the younger brother of Li Defeng, the captain of the plane, began to inquire about it on 1987, intending to welcome the remains of the victims of the national army back to Taiwan for burial. When Fu Yiping learned of this incident, he immediately contacted the authors Liu Wenxing and Li Huawei, and tried to communicate with other family members in the form of news reports.
Fu Yiping was the deputy editor-in-chief of Lianhe Evening News at that time, giving full play to the advantages of media people. For three consecutive days, he published a half-page feature article in the color edition of United Daily News, introducing the special tasks of "Western Company" and the 34th Squadron, which immediately produced amazing "advertising" effect. Family members who have not been in contact for more than 30 years have contacted this newspaper one after another, and found all the family members of the 13 wrecked pilot within one week (Chen Yaxing is at
In just a few days, the family members decided to go to Guangdong to find relatives and meet Ying Ling. *** 14 people came from the United States and Taiwan Province Province of China to the thorny and steep Jinji Mountain to look for the remains of their relatives. Jinjishan was uninhabited at that time, and there was no sign that there was no way. The plane was hit and crashed, scattered on the mountainside, mutilated, and some charred bodies were hastily disposed of. One of the two people in charge of dealing with the aftermath at that time has passed away. Thirty-three years after the accident, it was a miracle that the body was found only by the remaining memories of another police chief, Liu Jinrong, and several elderly villagers.
The whole process of bone searching was surprisingly smooth, mainly due to the full assistance of the central and local governments. However, Li Huawei, the librarian of Ohio University in the United States, is quite famous in academic circles. He was coordinated by Guan Zhongqi, president of Enping CPPCC Association, and Fu Yiping's influence in Taiwan media. It took him a lot of trouble to find the first cannon fodder bone in mainland China and bury it collectively. Otherwise, based on the treatment of the national army in the mainland, the difficulty of finding bones can be imagined.
1992 12 14, the black bat finally returned to Taiwan Province province after leaving home for 33 years, which is the first precedent that the lean cannon fodder was collectively buried in Taiwan Province province since cross-strait exchanges. Family members believe that 14 crew members have been buried in the same cave for 33 years and should be buried together in a 480-meter-long grave in Bitan National Army Cemetery in the suburbs of Taipei.
Collect mainland intelligence in exchange for American aid
Collecting mainland intelligence in exchange for American aid, Taiwan Province Province sent the best national army to uphold justice for Americans, which made the United States know all about the military deployment in the mainland, and the United States also returned American aid. Evans said that Taiwan Province Province has no ability to counterattack the mainland, and the information collected by the 34th Squadron is meaningless to Taiwan Province Province, but it is of great help to the United States. When Black Bat returned from the mission, the US military plane was already waiting at the Hsinchu base. After the plane landed, the American personnel immediately boarded the plane, dismantled the electronic monitoring equipment on the plane, and brought the collected information back to the United States for research and analysis, and sent it directly to the White House.
The Kuomintang authorities retreated to Taiwan Province, isolated and helpless. In particular, President Truman of the United States published a white paper, pointing out that the Kuomintang was hopeless and did not want to deal with Taiwan Province Province at all. However, with the help of the squadron of black bats and black cats working for the United States, "the United States can pull Taiwan Province Province over," Evans said earnestly. "Without them taking the risk to collect this information, the United States would not like us so much." 1On March 29th, 993, the first batch of members of the 34th Squadron of the Air Force, Guojun 14, who returned to Taiwan Province Province, were buried in the cemetery of Guojun in Bitan, together with General Tang Fei, commander-in-chief of the Taiwan Province Air Force at that time (he was also a student of the 6th Air Force Youth School, and the air force students were the main source of the 34th Squadron). 20011On February 4th, 2002, the remains of soldiers of the 234th Squadron were transported back to Taiwan Province Province for burial. The tomb of the rebel members of the 34th Squadron of Bitan National Army Cemetery belongs to the "Tomb of the Air Force Martyrs against the * * * Uprising".
