"Take a break!"
Yang Tianming raised his hand in return, with a hint of solemnity on his body. The rank of senior colonel worn on the top of his shoulders shone brightly, and the August 1st military emblem inlaid on the military cap on his head was particularly dazzling.
Stand tall and straight, look dignified.
Formal occasions must be solemn and serious.
These are rules and cannot be exceeded.
"clatter!"
After receiving the order, Zhou Hai and Su Peng both lowered their arms, retracted their postures, and stretched out their left feet to hit the cement floor with a neat and loud sound.
With the two people in place, today's small memorial ceremony unique to Pengcheng Base officially began.
Inside the hangar of Cave No. 2, a solemn and solemn atmosphere filled the air.
The morning sun hangs in the sky, casting countless gentle and dazzling rays of light. All members are bathed in it, as if they are wearing golden armor and holy clothes, with awe-inspiring aura.
The time is already 9:50 am.
"Hello, comrades, I believe everyone knows why we are standing here together today."
Colonel Yang Tianming, standing directly in front of all the members, cast his bright and bright eyes at everyone, scanning the circle, and spoke in a calm and powerful voice:
"Today is April 1st. For the people, this is an ordinary and normal day, but for us soldiers and our pilots, it is a special day. It has been included in our "Air Force" "Historical Records" records the tragedy and humiliation of our eagle in the sky."
The words spread out like waves and entered everyone's ears.
Everyone stood in silence, eyes with inexplicable emotions focused on Yang Tianming. Even after experiencing it many times, their hearts still fluctuated.
Tragic.
humiliation.
For soldiers, for the geniuses soaring at the top of the sky, what happened nineteen years ago will never be forgotten. Every time I read the passages in the books that carry different charms, they are both tragic and humiliating. While I was sad and crying, I couldn't help but feel sad and angry.
Zhou Hai's face was calm, and his deep eyes were staring at the yellowed book inside Yang Tianming's hand - "Historical Records of the Air Force" through the new type of flight sunglasses.
This is history.
A history exclusive to Tianjiao.
Every pilot who can be included in the history of the Air Force is a martyr who gave his life and blood.
"Comrades, I believe you have all read the "History of the Air Force" in my hand, and the history that belongs to April 1st, and you also know why it is tragic and why it is humiliating! Nineteen years ago today, April 1, 2001 On the same day, a collision incident in the southern sea that shocked the world broke out. An EP3 reconnaissance aircraft belonging to the United States flew over the exclusive economic zone in the southeastern waters of Hainan Province. Our naval aviation force dispatched two J-82 fighters to expel and intercept Task."
Yang Tianming opened the book in his hand, which was already yellowed with a sense of age, and came to the thicker area in the middle. The content was the beginning of "The Impact Incident in the Southern Sea in 2001". His whole person's aura suddenly changed, and his voice became louder, as if Eyes as sharp as an eagle's eyes scanned the crowd:
"During this interception mission, wingman pilot Wang Wei flew fighter plane No. 81192. When he intercepted the US reconnaissance aircraft, he was not only provoked and ignored many times, but was also deliberately hit by the opponent. Unfortunately, he crashed and died. After Wang Wei died, he was killed by his superiors Posthumously awarded the honorary title of 'Guardian of the Sea and Air' and the First Class Medal of Heroic Model. At the most difficult moment of the country's rise, martyr Wang Wei defended national security and airspace sovereignty at the cost of his life, and fulfilled his oath and military duties under the red flag!"
"And this is tragic! It's humiliating!"
The passionate and penetrating words echoed in the hangar of Cave No. 2, and they were like an extremely sharp knife, piercing everyone's heart.
The atmosphere was dull and depressing.
Su Peng was silent.
All ground officers and soldiers were silent.
The ten geniuses standing in the front row of the team were silent, with indescribable colors in their eyes.
The wound in my heart that had been healed for a year was opened again and was bloody.
Every pilot has read this book, Air Force History, whether he is an Air Force pilot or a naval aviation pilot.
Because, this is history.
Time and space seem to be changing, and through the text behind the words that carries the message, I feel like I have returned to April 1st nineteen years ago, to the boiling but sorrowful land of China.
Boiling with enemy invasion. ——
Grieving for the sacrifice of a hero. ——
Nineteen years ago, the life of an eagle in the sky was fixed at the age of 33. Over the southern sea, the white umbrella flower symbolizing hope did not bloom.
Nineteen years ago, a gentle wife who prepared meals at home could no longer wait for her own pilot to come home and have a hot meal.
Nineteen years ago, the Air Force had just acquired the most valuable and powerful Su-27 Flanker heavy fighter, and was halfway into the third-generation era. There were thousands of second-generation aircraft, and only a pitiful number of third-generation aircraft. machine.
Nineteen years ago, the military was in the midst of the shock of the Gulf War and was deeply shaken by the disruptive high-tech warfare.
The country is in a precarious situation. It is crossing the river by feeling the stones and moving forward cautiously. It is at the most critical stage of its rise and the situation is extremely critical.
In the darkness, carry the burden forward.
If a war breaks out, it means that the road to rise will be interrupted, and there will no longer be the prosperity and majesty of today.
War?
cannot!
I can only break my teeth and swallow it.
Under such circumstances, Wang Wei used a shocking strike to drive away the enemy's prying eyes with his life.
This is truly tragic!
This is real humiliation!
Just because we can't start a war.
…
Inside the hangar of Cave No. 2, there was complete silence, and you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone thought about Wang Wei, who had passed away for nineteen years, and subconsciously clenched their fists.
Blood, flowing.
The pain is unbearable.
pain!
Really hurts!
Zhou Hai stood on the left, quiet and silent, with a clear mind. He took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions welling up in his heart, and held the flight backpack tightly in his right hand.
No words were spoken.
Stay calm and control your emotions at all times.
"Comrades, I hope you will always remember that you must not only learn from the valuable spirit and belief of martyr Wang Wei, but also remember this shame, remember the countless sacrifices of heroes, remember the mission, never forget the original intention, and never forget the national humiliation! From that day on , we know a set of numbers, 81192! From that year on, April 1st, the day regarded as 'April Fool's Day' by the West, was recorded in the history of our eagle in the sky!"
Yang Tianming continued to speak, his words were sonorous and powerful, and then issued an order: "81192, this group of numbers embodies the Chinese spirit. April 1st tells us what pain is for the eagle in the sky! Now, with the approval of the base committee, the April 1st ceremony will be held. A one-day small memorial ceremony for everyone to pay tribute to Martyr Wang Wei, the 'Guardian of the Sea and Air' who died heroically nineteen years ago!"
"Uh-huh!"
In an instant, all the members who maintained a military posture suddenly raised their right hands in a military salute.
