Our pilots are a group of respectable people who guard our airspace and sometimes even give their lives for it, such as the martyr Wang Wei, whom we will never forget.
Air race
Wang Wei is an aviation pilot affiliated to the China Navy. He has performed many important tasks perfectly and is an excellent soldier, but his life has always stayed in April, 2006 1 day.
Everyone will never forget that day, especially Zhao Yu, a comrade-in-arms of Wang Wei. On that day, Zhao Yu and Wang Wei went to perform a very dangerous and arduous task together.
During the day, when Wang Wei and Zhao Yu were on a mission, they suddenly found a strange plane not far ahead. After a few seconds, they responded. That's an American reconnaissance plane. The U.S. reconnaissance plane flew into China's airspace, and it certainly wouldn't make any good calculations.
At that time, the reconnaissance plane they found was the most advanced and the monitoring system was particularly developed. It is said that from the air to the ground, no sound can escape the "ears" of the reconnaissance plane, so Wang Wei and Zhao Yu immediately reported to the ground, and then we issued a warning to the US reconnaissance plane, but the other side ignored the warning and still circled at high altitude, so Wang Wei and Zhao Yu flew the plane to expel the US reconnaissance plane.
After a while, the reconnaissance plane turned around and pretended to return to China. After observing for a while, Wang Wei and Zhao Yu thought that the other party had given up. They reported to the ground and decided to return to China. Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, the US reconnaissance plane behind them suddenly shot dead again and flew arrogantly over the heads of Wang Wei and Zhao Yu. They can only enter the state immediately and expel the reconnaissance plane for the second time.
In order to fly the plane out completely, Wang Wei flew the plane around the reconnaissance plane and issued a warning with his hand, hoping that the American pilot could leave, while Yu Zhao watched behind Wang Wei to prevent accidents, but no one expected that the American pilot would be so crazy. When Wang Wei was still trying to issue a warning, the US reconnaissance plane suddenly turned around and crashed into the plane that Wang Wei was driving. In an instant, two planes collided, and the plane driven by Wang Wei was seriously damaged, with smoke from the tail and the whole plane teetering.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Yu quickly asked Wang Wei to parachute and escape, and then asked the ground command whether it was safe to attack the US reconnaissance plane. But the relationship between the two countries was already tense. If Zhao Yu attacks, one of them may lead to war between the two countries, so the headquarters told Zhao Yu to continue to observe and not to attack.
Heroes are eternal.
The overall situation is of paramount importance. When dealing with the US reconnaissance plane, Zhao Yu can only calm down and search whether Wang Wei landed safely. At this time, Wang Wei's plane has crashed into the vast sea. It is very bad that Wang Wei's parachuting position is below the sea surface, and there is a certain distance from the land. Yu Zhao had an ominous premonition and could only ask the headquarters to send someone to search and rescue immediately.
The crashed American plane failed to return to the United States, but landed at China airport without permission.
After returning to China, Zhao Yu won the military service for successfully containing the US reconnaissance plane, but he was not happy because Wang Wei could not find it. The news of Wang Wei's sacrifice shocked the whole country, and the army immediately sent people to search and rescue. Later, people spontaneously went to the South China Sea to help search, but Wang Wei disappeared at sea. Zhao Yu can recall the last scene. He shouted to Wang Wei, "Jump!" Then Wang Wei opened his parachute and jumped down. Zhao Yu confirmed that the parachute was successfully opened.
However, Wang Wei's landing position is too bad. The stormy waves are almost fatal to flesh and blood. The search lasted 14 days, but nothing was found. Everyone is sad, especially Zhao Yu. He is Wang Wei's comrade-in-arms and superior. Usually, they often go out on missions together and have a good relationship.
On April 1 day, they should have gone to perform an ordinary inspection task. Before he left, Wang Wei called his wife at home and said that he would not go home today and would be on duty. Unexpectedly, this turned out to be the last farewell, and Wang Wei could never go home again.
The dead and the living
Watching a comrade-in-arms die in front of him is really the biggest blow to a soldier. Later Wang Wei was chased as a martyr. In 2002, the state built a martyrs cemetery for Wang Wei, and Yu Zhao and a group of comrades went to present flowers to Wang Wei. Zhao Yu, a soldier, may not have much time to be depressed and sad, because he also shoulders the heavy responsibility of guarding the motherland's sky.
Because of this incident, Zhao Yu was blacklisted by the United States, which claimed that Zhao Yu would never be allowed to set foot on American soil. Of course, for Zhao Yu, this threat is really insignificant. Does a China pilot have any yearning for American land? The only consolation is that it seems that Wang Wei and Zhao Yu successfully intercepted the US reconnaissance plane, which really brought a lot of losses to the United States, which is why the United States is so bitter.
Since then, Zhao Yu has continued to serve in the army and carried out air missions for the country many times. Although his comrades-in-arms are no longer Wang Wei, Wang Wei's spirit of heroic sacrifice will remain in their hearts forever, no matter Zhao Yu or other comrades-in-arms. Wang Wei is gone, but his comrades will still fight bravely in the sky like him.
A few years ago, Zhao Yu changed his job. After leaving the army, he went to work for the Sichuan government. As a soldier from the army, he will try his best to do any work well. His work is very busy, but when he has time, he will still greet Wang Wei's family. After Wang Wei's death, he left his wife and young son, and the state took them to Beijing.
Now many years have passed, and Zhao Yu and his comrades are very happy to see that Wang Wei's son has grown up. This child is a well-behaved and sensible child looked after by his comrades-in-arms, and did not disgrace his father.
In a sense, Zhao Yu is a witness of history. He has experienced too many great events, and made many contributions to the air friction between the two countries, the sacrifice of a soldier, the commemoration of some people and the development of our air combat capability.
In the year when Wang Wei died, our pilots had to fight for their lives in order to expel the enemy reconnaissance plane, but it is different now. In the year of Zhao Yu's retirement, the army has achieved all-round modernization and informationization, with more types of aircraft and enhanced combat effectiveness, and our soldiers can be better protected in the sky. This is the result of sacrifice and dedication from generation to generation. The hero is gone, but the motherland and people will not forget it.
