1930, David Wei was born in Guilin, Guangxi. Three uncles in the family are all pilots, so David Wei likes flying since he was a child. However, because two uncles died during the Anti-Japanese War and one uncle fell to his death, his family resolutely opposed him as an air force.
From 65438 to 0945, after the Japanese surrender, Wei Zhe studied in Guilin, took an active part in the student movement and opposed persecution.
From 65438 to 0949, the People's Liberation Army liberated more than half of China, and the liberation of Guangxi is just around the corner. Kuomintang spies arrest people every day. Because David Wei was an activist in the leadership of the student movement, he was later noticed by spies and prepared to arrest him. At this time, David Wei and several other students were moved by the wind and drove to Guangzhou overnight.
At that time, Guangzhou had not been liberated, there was chaos and panic everywhere, and the public security situation was very bad.
Wei and David have neither relatives nor acquaintances in Guangzhou. At this time, they saw the recruitment advertisement posted by the Kuomintang government.
At that time, the air force academy, naval academy, army cavalry school and artillery school of the Kuomintang were recruiting students. The job advertisement says that students with excellent grades can also be sent to the United States for further study.
At that time, David Wei and others were desperate, thinking that they could study in Taiwan Province Province and had a foothold, so they decided to sign up for the Army Cavalry School exam.
On August 23rd 1949, David Wei and them were taken to Huangpu port. At that time, the Kuomintang requisitioned some merchant ships and passenger ships and sent them to Taiwan Province Province in batches every day. The commander ordered them to board a ship called Huimin. There were two or three thousand people on board that day.
After the ship left Huangpu Port, the sailors on board told them: You are not cadets at all, but you want able-bodied men to serve in Taiwan Province Province.
It is said that every time this recruiter recruits a young man, the Kuomintang gives him 13 silver, and he left before boarding the boat without following him.
Hearing the truth, everyone around us knew that they had been cheated, some cried and some scolded. Wei Dawei was so angry that he vowed to leave Taiwan Province Province and return to Chinese mainland.
After three days and nights, the ship finally arrived in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan Province Province. When I arrived at Kaohsiung Pier, I saw many soldiers around the pier and port, and all the machine guns were erected. Anyone who tries to resist will be shot.
Due to the situation at that time, David Wei and others could only settle down temporarily.
Wei David and two classmates who came to Taiwan Province Province together later separated. Wei David was incorporated into the 340th Division of the 80th Army of the Kuomintang Army and became a second-class ammunition soldier. Fearing that they would escape, the Kuomintang troops first escorted them to Fengshan, and then moved them to Hongmao Port to carry guns and ammunition all day.
At that time, although Taiwan Province Province was full of slogans of one year's preparation, two years' counter-offensive and three years' victory, David Wei and others could not see the hope of going home. There is no freedom in the army. When two or three people talk together, they will suspect that they are plotting something, and there is a feeling of panic everywhere.
Some people were deceived into insanity, and some people committed suicide because they could not accept this fact. In Nanhengchun, more than 30 people hanged themselves overnight.
David Wei secretly planned the way to escape.
Wei later fled to Pingtung. A fellow villager in Pingtung took special care of him and introduced him to the No.1 1 1 brigade of Taiwan Province Air Force. Five months later, David Wei was admitted to the Air Force Academy.
David Wei wanted to escape from the sea to Chinese mainland, so David Wei was admitted to the naval school. After graduation, David Wei was assigned to the warship Yongtai.
David Wei worked for a while, and he found it difficult to go home from the sea, because there were many people on the navy ship, and it was not easy for you to come back. Moreover, no matter how fast the speedboat is, the plane can easily catch up.
At this time, David Wei has no hope of returning to the mainland. He is just looking forward to going out to sea by boat, seeing Chinese mainland, even catching a glimpse of the winding coastline of the mainland in the distance.
However, the warship Yongtai has been silent for 1 month, and it seems that it will be moored in Kaohsiung Port forever.
One day, the superior's order was to attack the mainland naval cruise fleet. At 3am, Yongtai suddenly anchored and set sail, sailed out of Kaohsiung Port, and soon passed through the waters of Penghu Islands, journey to the south.
It's getting light. At present, dozens of mainland fishing boats are fishing in Hinan Island Fishing Ground.
The captain of the warship Yongtai ordered the fire. Guns were fired in unison. The hit mainland fishing boat exploded and burned. A creepy scream. Many mainland fishermen jumped into the sea on fire to escape. The anti-aircraft machine gun of the warship Yongtai slammed at them, and it rained cats and dogs, and the sea was bright red. It's really scary.
On the way back to Yongtai, the Kuomintang navy called for commendation. All officers and men lined up on the main deck. The captain and colonel read out the commendation order: all the officers and men of Yongtai gave their lives for the party and the country and destroyed many cruise ships on Rinan Island. Powerful, our military strength. Special imperial edict award.
After reading the commendation order, the captain said loudly: Brothers, after the ship arrives in Kaohsiung, the whole ship will have a holiday for 3 days. Let's go ashore and play!
Report to the captain that I'm in trouble! A voice came from the queue.
Colonel, colonel, when he saw it, it turned out that David Wei, the third-class sergeant, raised his hand.
What's your opinion? Talk to me!
Captain, it is obvious that our ship destroyed a mainland fishing boat in the waters of Rinan Island. Why is it a cruise ship of the * * * army?
Shut up! Colonel, the captain looks angry.
I'm right, I won't stop! Captain, you lied about your victory, which is disloyal to the party and the country. David Wei said with indomitable voice.
The captain turned blue and shouted loudly, David, please review the whole ship and say that what you just said is all nonsense.
No, I don't review. I am telling the truth. David Wei has an air of stubbornness, and his bright eyes are staring at the captain unblinkingly.
I ordered David Wei to hang the flagpole. The captain shouted savagely.
This is the most cruel punishment for the officers and men who made mistakes in the navy.
The flag rope rose little by little, and David Wei's face turned pale gradually, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
David Wei was hoisted to the top of the flagpole, and the sea breeze swayed.
David Wei, have you had enough? Colonel, the captain smiled grimly. You say you're sorry, and I'll let you down right away.
David Wei can't speak. He shook his head with all his strength and fainted.
There was a commotion on the deck. Colonel, the captain was shocked. He had never seen such a stubborn sergeant, and he was at a loss.
David Wei was seriously ill after being hung on the flagpole. He completely lost confidence in the navy.
At this time, the Air Force School was enrolling students, and David Wei went to apply for the Air Force School.
195 1 At the end, David Wei was admitted to the Air Force Military Academy with excellent results and entered the 35th learning flight.
The Air Force Academy is located in Okayama, southwest of Taiwan Province Province. This is a picturesque town, not far from the former site of Chikanta, a famous historic site in Taiwan Province Province.
During a holiday, David Wei made an appointment with 34 students, including Tao Kaifu, Hu and Qin Baozun, and drove a medium-sized jeep north along the coastal highway to pay tribute to the national hero.
On April 2, AD 1 year1661day, that is, in the 18th year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong, a national hero, led 25,000 army horses, set out from Luosi Bay in Jinmen, Fujian, and crossed the strait to March into Taiwan Province Province. Landing at Heliao Port in Luermen, quickly occupying Chikanta. Later, after nine months of hard fighting, the Dutch soldiers finally surrendered in the second year, that is, 1662, 1 February, and left Taiwan Province Province, ending the 38-year colonial rule of the Dutch invaders in Taiwan Province Province, China.
The former site of Chikanta has been changed to Tainan Historical Exhibition Hall. In the center of the square in front of it, there is a sculpture group portrait of Zheng Chenggong receiving books from the Dutch army.
David Wei and his friends drove to the square. David Wei parked the car and walked to the square with his friends.
Suddenly, there was a cacophony of strange laughter from the sculpture group. David Wei and his friends looked ahead and couldn't help flying into a rage.
I saw two US Marines climb the pedestal of the statue, and one of them grabbed Zheng Chenggong's arm and smiled. In front of the statue, a Taiwan Province policeman is taking pictures of them.
David Wei flew into a rage He and Tao Kaifu ran to the police in three steps and two steps. David Wei grabbed his collar and pointed to the statue with his right hand and shouted, "Open your eyes and see who this statue is?" .
The policeman shook his head blankly.
This is your ancestor! David Wei shouted.
I don't know. I only know that it is my bounden duty to serve my American friends. The policeman muttered.
David Wei surprised the police. Immediately, two American soldiers who desecrated the statue of Zheng Chenggong were ordered to roll down in English.
Two American soldiers looked arrogant and refused to come down.
David Wei jerked out his flying knife. Tao Kaifu, Hu and Qin Baozun also took out flying knives.
David Wei shouted in English: This statue is like Roosevelt in Washington, USA. You two come down right now.
American soldiers chickened out and came down obediently.
On the drive back to Okayama, David Wei's face was covered with gloomy clouds.
1953 autumn. David Wei began to learn to fly the AT-6 advanced trainer. 1 month later, David Wei flew alone.
David Wei's flying skills are outstanding among his contemporaries. If it hadn't been for an accidental air crash, he might have become an air force officer ahead of schedule.
On that day, David Wei flew in an instrument. The plane glided smoothly. Take off. David Wei flew the plane to an altitude of 3000 meters, and then a series of somersaults pulled the plane to an ultra-low altitude of 20 meters. He successfully completed the flying course.
However, when the plane flew over the airport to land, an unexpected situation appeared: a large group of white seabirds suddenly appeared in front of the plane. The plane trembled again and again, as if it had been hit by two shells.
The windshield of the cockpit was also broken and the wind poured in. David Wei felt a pain in his chest like a tear, and he was dizzy as hell. The plane is descending rapidly.
David Wei finally landed the seriously injured plane safely at Okayama Airport with superb driving skills and extraordinary tenacity.
But David Wei's behavior was rewarded with 1 month of grounding and confinement.
It turns out that David Wei is very appealing. In the air force, he got the support of many students. Because of his rebellious spirit and radical remarks, the Kuomintang navy has long suspected that he is a mainlander. After David Wei left the navy and transferred to the Air Force, the Air Force began to suspect him. Because there is no evidence, he sends someone to talk to him every night.
At that time, David Wei didn't know why he was talking to him. The flight instructor saw the doorway and said to him, have you considered why they always talk to you at night? David Wei said: I don't know.
The instructor said: Obviously, they want you to be in a bad mental state, want to get rid of you and let you fall to death. They suspect you, but they can't arrest you without proof. You are homeless and unemployed in Taiwan Province Province. Why did you hang yourself from a tree? This is exactly what David Wei wanted, and he once again rekindled the belief of resolutely flying back to the mainland.
In the brig, David finally made a decision to fly back to the mainland by plane uprising.
