Combat takeoff -my 1986- 1987

Since 1979, the Sino-Vietnamese border has been kept fighting. After we recovered Laoshan Mountain and Yin Zhe Mountain in 1984, we were in a tug-of-war with the Vietnamese army at the border. Although there was no large-scale fighting, sporadic fighting continued. 1986, our regiment was ordered to go to Yunnan to participate in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam.

Before we set out, we conducted targeted pre-war training and formed a combat team. I am a member of the combat team. Our main task in participating in the war is to defeat the Vietnamese Air Force and conduct reconnaissance, interference and cover for the ground troops. We focused on the training of "moving along the border", and the difficulty of the training course gradually increased from T 1 to T 10. We all passed the pre-war assessment before the transition.

From northeast to southwest, the air transit1* * is more than 3 thousand kilometers, and it stops at Chifeng, Bikeqi, Yinchuan, Lintao and Dazu airports, and finally arrives at Yunnan Yanshan Airport. Our regiment divided 26 planes into 7 echelons. I am in the second position of the last echelon. The first plane is a trainer, the division chief of staff and the division training section are staff pilots, the third plane is deputy battalion commander Zhuge, and the fourth plane is Spring Festival travel rush.

On September 10, we entered the venue early to make preparations before the flight, but the weather was foggy and the visibility was only a dozen meters. After checking the plane, we went back to the dormitory to stand by. Towards noon, the weather showed signs of improvement, and we entered the arena for the second time. As soon as the fog cleared, the division commander who was the take-off commander flew from Mudanjiang Airport on the J-6 plane. After the teacher landed, he ordered to take off and we began to take off one after another. We are the last echelon. When we took off and rose to 12000 meters, we heard that the first echelon began to land, and the second echelon had already dropped in height. When I arrived at Chifeng airport, I stopped for two days because of the bad weather. On the third day, I arrived at Yinchuan airport. As it was getting late, I stayed at Yinchuan airport. Who knows we can't stay here, but the weather is always bad. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, we left Yinchuan Airport on September 19, passed Lintao Airport and Dazu Airport, and arrived at our destination-Yunnan Yanshan Airport on the same day.

Our camp is not too far from Pingyuan Street, which is the only way for troops to transport troops and materials to the front. During this period, the situation on the front line was still very tense, and there were battles from time to time. At that time, the local social situation was still very complicated, and it was said that Vietnamese agents often appeared. We were a little nervous when the local station leaders introduced us to these situations.

In the afternoon, we entered the combat duty room and prepared for the next day's combat duty. The commander is the captain of the 2nd Battalion, the No.1 machine is the captain of our 1st Battalion, the No.2 machine in Hua Hui, the vice captain of Zhuge No.3 machine, and I am the No.4 machine. The combat duty room is in a clean yard. There are several trees in the north of the yard that no one has seen. According to the station attendant, they are called kapok trees. The tree is full of pink flowers, which is very beautiful. There are several castor trees more than ten meters high on the side. The trunk is thicker than a bowl and covered with castor seeds. This is the first time I have seen the woody castor tree, and it is so high that we feel very fresh. In addition to the pilots on duty in the yard, there are also staff officers on duty in the regiment, station support personnel and maintenance duty room in a row of houses outside the yard. There is also a table tennis room and badminton court in the yard, and the conditions are good. Now that we have reached the front line, we should familiarize ourselves with the operational environment first. We checked the plane's parking position and boarding route on the spot, got familiar with all kinds of signals, and practiced the procedure of combat take-off on the spot.

The next day, before dawn, the personnel on duty woke up, began to receive the plane, cooperated with the command post, and prepared for the battle early. We know that this is the first day of our troops' official combat mission at the frontline airport. Usually, the front finger will check our combat readiness and take off no matter what the situation is. But we worked hard all day and didn't wait until class was over. We spent the second and third days quietly in a tense atmosphere. After breakfast on the fourth day, the five of us were still preparing together as before, when the alarm sounded and the staff on duty shouted, "No.4, first class!" " "The five of us quickly picked up our equipment and ran out of the room, wearing helmets as we ran. By this time, the crew had opened the cockpit cover of the plane in front of us. We got on the plane, turned on the power switch, fastened the umbrella belt and seat belt, checked the plane and looked at the signal in the hands of the signalman in front of the plane. The signal is coming out. It's a dual-machine drive. According to the regulations, double-engine driving is the first double-engine driving and the second double-engine backup. If they can't start, we will start again. I saw the twin planes of the battalion chief and Hua Hui started smoothly, and the signalman sent a signal that the two planes took off. Zhuge and I watched the first two planes slide into the runway and take off. We changed the second-class post status to the second-class post status. After getting off the plane, the duty officer asked Zhuge to pick up the command post. We looked at ZhuGeJin into the duty room to answer the phone. It took Zhuge more than ten seconds to rush out of the duty room and get on the plane. I watched him run and followed him. The crew of our plane hasn't returned to the lounge yet. When they saw us running on the plane, they thought we were in first class again, so they hurried back to prepare the plane. The person on duty doesn't know what's going on. When you see that we are ready, report to the command post. We are ready first. The command post is puzzled: who let you into first class? The staff on duty quickly signaled us to get off the plane. We returned to the duty room and asked Zhuge what was going on. Zhuge said: "I answered the phone just now, and the commander said that the Vietnamese Air Force plane was active. After the first two planes leave the airspace, you will take off and prepare to take off. " I said, "The first two planes just took off, and they left the airspace early. Why are you in such a hurry to get on the plane? "In addition, no matter what the situation is, you must tell us first." Several of us lectured Zhuge. An hour later, the battalion chief and Hua Hui returned and landed. We didn't wait for the order to take off. At noon, everyone dressed up and rested in bed, because they had something on their minds and didn't sleep well. In a daze, we heard the alarm ring again. We got up in a hurry and ran out with the equipment. Out of the door, everyone woke up. I got on the plane, got ready, and saw the signal of two planes coming. Some people don't believe it, so I proved it is right. The first two planes took off again. We went back to second-class duty. Instead of going back to the duty room, we sat under the wing and chatted with the crew. Zhuge and I are both complaining: "It's really impossible to follow you. Look at people, we took off twice in one day. We were on duty, followed you three times and never took off. " At this time, we heard the sound of the alarm bell again. We quickly got on the plane and saw the signalman signal that two engines were driving and taking off. I drove with Zhuge, slipped out, took off after boosting, put away the landing gear and flaps, loaded the shells according to coordination, and rose to the waiting airspace height of No.22. The air is very quiet. At an altitude of 8000 meters, we maintained a battle formation. After 40 minutes of activity, we heard the return signal from the command post and returned to land. During the whole one-hour flight, I kept silent on the radio and was highly nervous. When commenting on this day's combat duty, the former refers to positive evaluation: both the speed of grade transfer and the time of re-preparation are very fast, and the airspace position is also well maintained, which reflects the fighting style that an old army should have.

A few days later, the duty sequence was adjusted, and the deputy battalion commander Zhuge and I were adjusted to 1 No.2, and Hua Hui and Xinchun were No.3 and No.4. On this day, Zhuge met the doctor of the Air Rescue Team at the airport. One of the doctors is from Beijing. After work, Zhuge will go back to his hometown and tell me to come back later, but it will never exceed ten o'clock. I waited until eleven o'clock at night, and I was a little nervous. I can't lie down until I come back at half past eleven. I went to the command room to wake up the second battalion commander and asked him what to do. He said, "Is it ten o'clock, not twelve o'clock?" I'm absolutely right. He said: "We have just arrived here, and the social situation here is so complicated that nothing will happen, right?" Wait until twelve o'clock, if you haven't come back, let's go out and look for it. " Before we came back at twelve o'clock, we got dressed and walked back along the road from the airport to the camp. With a flashlight in our left hand and a loaded pistol in our right hand, we kept a distance of three or five meters and walked in tandem, searching. In the ditch beside the road and behind the trees, check carefully. If there is a wet place on the ground, make sure there is no blood. At one o'clock, we arrived at the camp and woke up our battalion chief and instructor. While discussing whether to report to the regiment, the battalion chief Zhan found a man walking on the road in the distance, shouting "Zhuge!" The man stopped and we saw him. It turned out that I was speculating with my fellow villagers and forgot the time. On the way back, the two of us took turns criticizing Zhuge and talked too much. He was very unhappy and pinched the battalion chief. The battalion chief was silent, and the three of us silently walked back to the duty room. When I got to the duty room, I said, "You told me to come back at ten o'clock, and we waited for you until twelve o'clock. I'm afraid you'll have an accident on the road. I'll try to find a camp from the airport, even if it's a tree and grass. How can you say that you are not good enough? " He also felt that he had gone too far and went over to apologize to the battalion chief. Nobody mentioned it again.

Here is given priority to with combat duty, there are many people on duty in our combat team. There are many battles on duty, almost every day. Basically, Vietnamese planes fly together and we take off. Sometimes Vietnamese MIG -23 planes move along the border, and our endurance is not as good as theirs, so we have to take off several batches in succession. On one occasion, I was on duty with Spring Festival and Si Xu. That night, the command post informed that the Vietnamese reconnaissance plane will have border activities tomorrow, and it is necessary to be prepared to "edge the ball." The next morning, the command post also cooperated with us early. After getting up, we didn't rest. We have made serious preparations for the flight, for fear of leaving a little detail behind and affecting the completion of the combat mission. Everyone is nervous. After breakfast, captain Lin came in to help us prepare and told us what to pay attention to when taking off and intercepting. At this moment, we suddenly heard the alarm. We rushed out, picked up the flying equipment on the windowsill and ran to the plane, wearing helmets while running. At this moment, Hua Hui shouted: "My helmet, my helmet!" "He can't find his helmet on the windowsill. The staff on duty ran out of the room: "What are you doing? Where are you going?"? We looked puzzled and ran over and shouted, "wait a minute!" Wait a minute! " He said, "I have to pull the first class, but I didn't either? "When we think about it, yes, you didn't ring the doorbell, so where did you get the bell? We all stopped, when we saw a soldier running with a sickle and pulling the iron fence of the roadside flower pond. It sounded like an alarm. We drank the soldiers, came back smiling, and put the helmets away as they were. At this time, Hua Hui was still running around in every room looking for a helmet. Let's look at the helmet on the windowsill. " Aren't all four people here? Where are you going to find them? Hua Hui picked up the first helmet on the windowsill and looked at it. "This is my helmet." Where did it just go? "At first, we didn't know what was going on, so we said,' No one has moved, and it has been there all the time. One of us can't carry two helmets. "He thought about it and was right:" When I went out just now, there was no helmet on the windowsill. How can I come back now? "This matter has become a mystery. Later we learned that everyone was very nervous that day. When they heard the bell, they all ran to the window sill to get their helmets The battalion chief thought he was on duty. As usual, he naturally ran to the windowsill, picked up his first helmet and ran on the plane. Then I said I didn't want to wait. On second thought, I'm not on duty today, and I didn't say anything, so I quietly put my helmet back and let Hua Hui continue to look for it. On this day, although everyone was very nervous, with such an episode, it also eased a lot. I don't know why the Vietnamese plane didn't take off, and neither did we.

The army participated in the war with the 47 th Army of Lanzhou Military Region. Recently, they want to organize a relatively large-scale campaign, code-named "Lan Jian B", which needs the cooperation of our air force to ensure absolute air superiority and prevent the Vietnamese air force from posing a threat to our ground attack. Former officers of the army cooperated with us.

101October14th, we waited for the whole group, and we entered the venue to prepare before dawn. However, due to the heavy fog, the ground battle did not start on time. At noon, the fog began to disperse, the ground battle began, and we took off one after another. Zhuge and I are the first batch. When we took off, the fog on the ground had just risen and had not dispersed. As soon as the plane left the land and entered the clouds, we went out in a few seconds. According to the coordination, after putting the landing gear and flaps in place, we loaded all three guns with shells and entered the airspace to be fought to prepare for the battle. Subsequently, Hua Hui and Xinchun also took off into the combat airspace on the 22nd. Knowing that there is a war down there, we are also a little nervous. We remained vigilant and flew along the border at an altitude of 6000 meters. The air is quiet, and there is no sound except the noise of the engine and the radio. This increased the tension. While keeping formation with the captain, I tried to find the exact position of the battlefield on the ground according to the points marked on the map, but there were vast mountains below, so I couldn't be sure at all.

Until the end of the ground battle, the planes of the Vietnamese Air Force did not take off. As soon as we * * *, we took off 8 batches 16 sorties. Not long after we all went ashore, we saw helicopters flying back from the front line again and again, and many wounded people were evacuated. Yan Feng went to the front of the plane and came back and said to me, "All the people who were carried down were seriously injured. A little soldier was covered with bandages and could still talk. He said he drank Moutai before he left. He regards drinking Moutai as an honor, and he doesn't know if this little soldier can survive. " The wounded got off the helicopter and got on the big plane. It is said that they flew to Beijing for treatment. The next day, the battle report came from before. This campaign captured two highlands, 604 and 968, and annihilated more than 200 defenders, but our army also paid the price of 56 casualties. Our cover task was completed very well and was praised by the former finger.

A few days later, we once got a videotape, which was the whole process of fighting on the battlefield. Although we know the battle situation from the battle report, we also see the wounded carried down from the front line and know that the battle is fierce. After watching the film, we were strongly shocked: the film showed the whole process of the battle from the first perspective: first, the artillery was prepared, and then the commandos began to fight and entered the stage of searching for holes and paying for them. Submachine guns, grenades and flame throwers were used, and the battle was very hard and fierce. Gunfire, gunfire and shouts blend together. During the assault, the assault captain was injured, and at the same time, a soldier was injured in the head and his face was covered with blood. When someone nearby tried to lift the injured soldier down, the soldier shouted, "Save the captain first!" " I'm dead. I'll never forget this photo.

During the war, we took off many battles, but only two took off for real combat missions. The "Lan Jian B" operation was once, and the second combat mission was to cover the border reconnaissance of the reconnaissance plane. This is a very high security operation. 125 October, 165438+ conducted a coordinated actual combat flight drill with us, taking off two batches of four sorties. Different from the past, we didn't fly in the airspace to be hit, but flew along the border, basically holding the border down. At that time, we didn't know what the specific task was, but we knew it should be a relatively large combat operation. On the morning of 26th, the head of the delegation suddenly ordered Deputy Head Cai, Deputy Head Yao, Captain Li, Yali and me to enter the venue. In the process of entering the scene, I saw the serious expressions of the head of the regiment and the political commissar and knew that the combat action had begun. Upon arrival at the airport, the head of the regiment issued an operational order to a pilot *** 10 who had just entered the field and was on duty in the outfield: "This time, we will carry out the combat mission of 86 1 1 to cover the border reconnaissance of the reconnaissance plane. It is required to strictly maintain radio silence, reload after take-off, prepare for battle, and be ready for battle at any time. " At this time, we saw a very small electronic reconnaissance plane sliding from the southern end of the runway. It is said that this kind of electronic reconnaissance plane is imported from abroad and is very advanced. Because the reconnaissance plane will fly in the opposite direction after taking off, our cover plane will have to wait. When we saw the reconnaissance plane flying over the airport, the first batch of cover planes took off with Deputy Director Cai, and the second batch of Deputy Director Yao and Spring Festival travel rush took off after 15 minutes. The battalion chief and I are the third batch and the second batch to take off 15 minutes later. After take-off, reload and prepare for battle. Subsequently, the fourth batch of vice captains Yu and Yun De, and the fifth batch of captains Li and Yali also took off one after another. In the air, we kept fighting formation and flew towards us along the border. After we returned to land, the chief told us that the reconnaissance plane had completed its reconnaissance mission and flew back to Beijing directly. That evening, the command post commented on our combat mission flight, saying that the mission was completed well and the chief was very satisfied.

We have been in the front for more than two months, and the expected date of birth of our family is coming soon. Although I am very busy with duty and flight training, I still write once a week or twice a day, and write once a day these days to tell her some anecdotes and try my best to make her feel better. I think I can only do this, and the rest is to wait for the telegram in fear and trembling. On February 3rd, 65438, we played volleyball in an army volleyball court not far from us. The timekeeper came to me with a telegram. I think the telegram says "1 February1Sunday at 23: 43, mother and son are safe." I jumped for joy. I have a son, and I am a father. I stopped playing, so I went to the service office and bought some cans and two bottles of wine. In the evening, I invited the pilots of the brigade to drink and drank a lot. There are happy ingredients, a little bitterness and some regrets. I'm glad to be a father and have a son, and my mother and son are safe. The bitter thing is that my wife needs her husband most when she gives birth to a child, and I'm not here. It's a pity that I didn't see my son when he was born. When I saw my son, it was definitely not like this. At first, Hua Hui's due date was the same as mine. I'm a father now, and he hasn't moved. He's a little worried. A week later, the telegram "Mother and daughter are safe" came, although it is a happy thing to want a son to have a girl. Then the Spring Festival came. After New Year's Day, I received a telegram that mother and son were safe. The only daughter in the family gave birth to a son and complied with her wishes. More than half a month later, Yu Ming called to say that she had a son. The telegram was brought by the instructor of the brigade. The instructor said, "Congratulations, mother and daughter are safe." Yu Ming, an only child, wanted to have a son at home, saying that he gave his daughter-in-law a B-ultrasound, and it was a son. Hearing the instructor say that mother and daughter are safe, my face suddenly changed and I smiled unnaturally. After reading the telegram for a long time, at everyone's urging, I went to the cupboard to get cigarettes for everyone. When everyone saw that it was Ashima cigarettes, they said, "Didn't you say that you would smoke clouds for everyone when you gave birth to a son?" He said, "I am talking about my son. Now that I have a girl, Ashima will be fine. " Everyone was a little surprised. He read the telegram just now for a long time, but didn't see that it was "mother and child are safe"? Everyone said, "What did you see just now? Let's see if this mother and son are safe? " He glanced at everyone suspiciously, then searched for the telegram in his pocket for a long time and smiled. "I told you I must have a son." You still don't believe it, do you? " And take out two clouds from the cupboard and share them with you. During the war, a group of our classmates had four pilots with their children, all of whom were concentrated between 1 February and the following year1month, which added a lot of joy to our participation in the war and a lot of new topics to us.

After New Year's Day, people from all walks of life came to offer their condolences. On this day, Vice President Yu, Director Linda, I, and Chang Kuan are on duty. A lot of condolences were sent before, including canned goods, fruits, sugar and the like, and each person had two plastic bags. Everyone is idle, and the deputy district chief is watching. The four of us played poker, three against one, and beat solatium. I asked for 60 yuan for the first one, and the result was "picked". Because there were no rules in advance, three people made rules temporarily and divided my condolences at once. When we continued to play, the three men said that considering that I had nothing to lose, the chips should be smaller. As a result, I lost, won all afternoon, and didn't win back a can. I'm a little depressed, and the three of them are complacent. The regiment should convey the instructions of its superiors and return to camp after the combat duty. At dinner, the battalion chief first took off his pistol, put it on the empty table, and angered me with words while eating. After eating, I hummed a little song, picked up the condolences and left. I saw his gun still on the table, so I tied it under my clothes and quietly followed him back to the camp. The regiment will gather in front of the building, and the deputy head will convey the instructions from the superior. Our brigade stood in the first row, the battalion chief stood in the front row and I stood in the back row. I can see the captain's every move from the corner of my eye. The deputy head of the regiment is conveying instructions from his superiors. I saw the battalion chief suddenly touch his waist with his hand. I guess he found out the gun wasn't on him. I don't have to look at that extremely nervous expression to know what it feels like. He found some people on duty in the queue and finally stared at me for a while, as if he knew. After the deputy team leader finished speaking, the team was dissolved. The team leader ran over, pulled me to his dormitory, opened the wardrobe, pointed to the fruits and cans usually distributed on the stove and said, "Help yourself." Everybody follow up, I don't know what's going on. I think the two jars I just put in are still there. I didn't mention it. I picked out four of the best cans, gave him the gun and walked away with a snort. This time I am Japanese, and the battalion chief is depressed again.

On New Year's Eve, we sat in front of the TV early to watch the Spring Festival get-together. As a result, Yunnan TV station does not broadcast CCTV, but shows Yunnan local opera programs that we can't understand. We ran to the rooftop and set off firecrackers at the pilot who lived in the front building, while attack force. When the two sides were in a good mood, the head of the delegation came up and taught us a lesson. The pilot of our brigade went back to his room and felt that the Spring Festival was too boring if it went on like this. We can't watch CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, so let's have a gala ourselves. Yan Feng brought his dual-card recorder, and I bought guitars with Changbroadband, and everyone chose their favorite tracks. Under the auspices of the Spring Festival, we flew a large number of front-line Spring Festival parties and officially started ... We sang for several hours and had a different Spring Festival, leaving a meaningful tape as a souvenir.

After the Spring Festival, the day of returning to the team is coming soon. These days, everyone is concentrating on preparing for the transition to the construction industry. We have made very careful preparations, and we may encounter any situation during the transition of such a large force. After all, we have little experience in transformation.

March 15 is the day to return to work. Because of the bad weather, our replacement troops are still on their way. The original plan was to replace our troops before we left. The former leader asked us to rebuild on schedule, and I was the last one. The first machine is Deputy Chief Yao, the second machine is Spring Festival travel rush, the third machine is Captain Li, and I am the fourth machine. After the fourth plane took off, we rose to the specified height and were hearing the first landing sounds. We didn't hear the problem on the ground, only the person in charge said, ". I heard a lot of radio instructions along the way, some landing deviation was large, some went around, and it was chaotic for a while. I reminded myself not to make mistakes, but to concentrate on flying to the short-range navigation station and then looking for the runway. When we arrived at the navigation platform of the landing airport, we made a correction angle, and the single plane spread out on the cloud and went down through the cloud. I entered the clouds at an altitude of 4000 meters and stayed in the clouds. I steered the plane according to the instrument and corrected it to the descent line. When I reached the height of 500 meters, the landing radar informed me that the height and position were good and I was confident. The plane was cloudy at an altitude of 200 meters, but it felt foggy below. Arrived at the remote navigation station, accurately flew to the short-range navigation station, and then flew to the short-range navigation station. Altitude150m, I looked at the runway. First of all, I see a bright spot ahead. I knew it was the searchlight at the head of the runway, and then I saw a big triangle and two white lines. The runway is between the triangle and the white line. I quickly adjusted my speed and landed. We have never flown in such complicated weather before, and we caught it at a strange airport for the first time. It should be said that we all performed well. After landing, we could have continued to fly to the next stop. Because the troops who took over this round of fighting have to go through this airport to the frontline airport, we can't take off until they all land. In the process of landing, they were also quite confused and deviated greatly. Some of them bypassed and some did not listen to the command. I think this is also the northern army, which rarely flies in such low weather. They took off after landing and went straight to the front airport. After they left, it was getting late. We stayed at the local airport for one night and took off early the next morning. At this stop, we landed at Lintao Airport. After landing, the meteorological station said there was a sandstorm, so we were not allowed to go, so we had to live again. After we settled down in the guest house, we went out and walked around the camp. I'm still wondering how there can be a sandstorm without wind in this weather. We were walking, and everyone felt a breeze and heard a rustling sound. Looking along the sound, it looks like a dark yellow "wall" in the valley between two mountains. Everyone didn't know what was going on, so they all stopped there to watch. As this "wall" gets closer and closer to us, the feeling of the wind is somewhat different. I don't know who shouted: "God, this is not dust! "We hurried back, and before we got to the house, this' wall' hid us. It suddenly got dark, the sky was yellow, and we couldn't open our eyes. Our mouths and noses are full of sand. When I finally entered the house, my hair and eyebrows turned yellow at first sight. In this weather, we have to close the doors and windows and have a rest in the room. The weather improved the next day, but there was dust everywhere. The dust on the windowsill is one centimeter thick. We can keep changing the scene. When the plane took off, it rolled up a cloud of dust We can't see the plane take off at all on the ground. A formation does not assemble at the take-off stage until it rises to a specified height and emerges from the clouds. It was a little better when taking off, but it was not until the altitude of 100 meters that planes 1 and 2 were discovered. We assembled and entered the cloud, where four planes rose in dense formation. In the training, there is no course of four planes flying through clouds in dense formation. When a battle takes off, we often fly two planes in dense formation over the clouds, but never four planes in dense formation over the clouds. Fortunately, the cloud is relatively stable, and it does not emerge until the height of 1 1000 meters. After it appeared, it suddenly became much clearer. After landing in Yinchuan, we stopped for one day and flew to Huairen Airport in Shanxi on March 19. March 2 1 From Huairen to Chifeng, the weather is good. When our last echelon landed, the first echelon had already taken off. We took off from Chifeng airport and passed Siping. The earth has turned from yellow to white again, and the snow in the north has not melted, which makes us feel more cordial. Everyone was very happy when they returned to the airport. The mountain is still the original mountain and the water is still the original water. Family members ran to the airport to meet their husbands with their children in their arms, which made us people who were not in the army a little jealous.

On March 23, the train for ground transfer personnel also arrived. Jiaohe County organized a grand welcoming ceremony for us at the railway station, and we were welcomed like heroes. On the way back to the camp, in Wulin Town and Nangangzi Village, people braved the rain and snow to welcome us. At that time, we really felt like heroes.

After half a year of war, we have gained a lot and matured a lot. After the war, I also made a third-class merit. When we become fathers, our first wish is to visit our families, especially those children we have never met. But the leader said no, now the combat duty task is heavy, and the flight training task is somewhat lagging behind. As everyone is on vacation, it is impossible to organize flight training. Although we are unhappy, we must obey orders unconditionally.

A month later, the group asked me and Xinchun to pick up two planes in Yanji and return to Jiaohe for a vacation.

"
