1950, * * * decided to set up the People's Air Force and appointed Liu Yalou, the former chief of staff of the Four Fields, as the commander. Liu Yalou recommended Liu Zhen as commander of Northeast Air Force and concurrently as commander of Volunteer Air Force. Together with Liu Yalou, he commanded the famous Korean air war.

Serina Liu

At the beginning of the establishment of the Air Force in the Republic of China, due to aircraft and technology, dangers often appeared. As the commander of the air force, Liu Zhen also had two "air adventures".

1952 65438+On February 8th, the Hero Division of the Soviet Air Force Kuzhdub was ordered to prepare to return to China after Anton cooperated with the Volunteer Air Force. Serina Liu is in Shenyang. Suddenly, he received a phone call from Commander Liu Yalou and said, "Tonight at 8 o'clock, a banquet will be held in Anton to bid farewell to friendly troops. The superior should send someone to give a banquet and award prizes on behalf of Chairman Mao. However, due to the heavy snow in Beijing, the plane could not take off. With the approval of the chairman, you will host the farewell party on his behalf and award the teacher. "

At this time, it is 4 o'clock in the afternoon, only 4 hours away from the banquet. He couldn't get to Anton by train or bus, so he decided to "fly".

At this time, it is snowing heavily in Shenyang, and it is impossible to fly according to the pilot's technical conditions. Some people are worried about his safety. Liu Zhen said: "It is very important to arrive in Anton on time, so this is the only way."

Liu Zhen immediately drove to the airport and said to the crew: "First inform Anton Langtou Airport to open the navigation platform, then aim at the navigation platform and fly directly to Langtou Airport. Is that okay? "

The captain said, "Yes, as long as the weather at the landing site is good, no problem."

In this way, the plane took off forcibly in the heavy snow. This is the Li -2 transport plane, which is expected to arrive in Anton in an hour. When the plane took off, the visibility was very low and the clouds were very low because of the heavy snow. When it rose above 100 meters, it entered the dense clouds. The plane flew, swayed and rocked in the strongly bumpy clouds. Serina Liu was bold and artistic, and said, "Go up again."

But when the plane rises to a height of 300 meters, the visibility is even worse, and nothing can be seen. The captain said:

"Commander! Since the weather is getting worse, I'm not sure. What should I do? "

He said, "You can fly over Liaoyang and have a look again."

When they got there, they could see the ground clearly through the clouds. Serina Liu said to the captain, "Go into the mountain and have a look, but your flying height is 500 meters higher than the top of the mountain. Don't hit the mountain. "

In this way, they flew for a whole hour, but they haven't arrived in Anton yet. Serina Liu said suspiciously, "Are you lost?"

But the captain couldn't say for sure, so the plane had to fly forward for another half an hour, but it still didn't reach Anton. This time, Commander Liu said, "I must have lost it, so I can't fly forward."

At this point, the plane has flown to Tumen River. From the clouds, Commander Liu saw the Tumen River Railway Bridge and immediately asked the pilot, "Why can't navigation be resumed?"

The navigator said, "We haven't found the frequency of Anton navigation station yet, so we can't get the direction and the radio can't get in touch, so we can't accurately judge the current position of the plane. I don't know where the plane is now, and I can't go back. "

At this time, Liu Zhen was in a hurry and quickly came to the co-pilot position and said, "Don't fly to the air combat airspace between the enemy and me. This is very dangerous. What should I do? " Suddenly, he had an idea. He said, "If you turn right, won't you fly to the west coast of North Korea?"

The captain said:

"I heard it from the headphones. Some people speak English, some people speak Russian and some people speak Chinese. Maybe there is an air battle going on there. "

Liu Zhen said, "Never mind! You turn right and fly to the west coast, but don't fly out of clouds and snow. "

In order to prevent accidents, the captain discussed with the pilot to give his parachute to the team leader and told him how to use it in advance. The captain just said a few words to the commander. He smiled and said:

"What do you want? Want me to be a paratrooper? If it really comes to that, you should jump down and fly a plane when you go back. What am I doing down there? Is it a joke? "

Fortunately, things didn't go that far. When the plane flew to the west coast of North Korea, it saw a landmark. Serina Liu said, "If you hide in the fog and snow, then turn right and fly north, isn't it just aimed at the Yalu River?" Who knows that he and the captain are careless. The Lagu whistle ahead is a restricted area. As long as any plane enters the restricted area, the ground air defense forces will fire.

Sure enough, they flew into the restricted area of Lagu whistle. The ground anti-aircraft gun air defense unit saw a big plane flying in the south and said, "It must be an American bomber. Get ready for the first class right away. " Fortunately, the commander of the anti-aircraft gun unit was more cautious and immediately reported the situation to the Volunteer Air Force Command for disposal. The officer on duty immediately replied: "That plane is the transport plane that Commander Liu Zhen took. I got lost after taking off from Shenyang. You must not fight. "

In this way, they avoided danger again.

The pilot got lost on the way back and became more excited. When Liu Zhen pointed out to the captain that the Yalu River Bridge was just ahead, it was getting dark, but when he found the mouth of the Yalu River, Anton Airport was just around the corner. He said to the captain:

"According to the normal situation, I will go around for a week and then fall to the ground. Now I have to land directly at Langtou Airport. "

But the pilot was so excited that he didn't put down the landing gear when the plane taxied to a height of 100 meters at the head of the runway. It is really dangerous! Fortunately, the airport signalman of Air 4 Division found that the red flare was fired quickly and the transport plane landed safely after going around.

After the plane landed, a Soviet commander and commander Kuridubu greeted him and warmly embraced Liu Zhen. The Soviet commander said, "Comrade Commander, it's too risky this time!"

Serina Liu said, "I was ordered to send you back to China on behalf of Chairman Mao and give you an award. Adventure flight is very meaningful! "

After this aerial adventure, it was also thrilling for Liu Zhen to take another flight.

1953 in June and July, the air force aviation unit of Northeast Military Region conducted a live-fire shooting drill at Zhengjiatun shooting range. Liu Zhen and General Cherdov, Soviet adviser to the Air Force of the Military Region, visited the site. This time, they took the Soviet Jacques-12 plane.

Jacques-12 is a small propeller conveyor with low flying speed and low flying height. To be on the safe side, Hu Lin, deputy head of the 9 th regiment of the 3 rd Aviation Division, suggested that they still go by train, but Liu Zhen said: "The train is too slow, which will delay the time."

Who knows that when the small plane took off, they also overloaded one person, besides consultant and secretary Liu Zhen, they also brought an interpreter. At first, the flight went well. Liu Zhen and the consultant chatted while enjoying the scenery, and their interest was very high. But it didn't last long. Just when flying over the mountainous area between Tieling and Siping, Hu Lin, who was flying the plane, suddenly found that the cylinder head and lubricating oil thermometer of the engine were slowly rising and soon reached the maximum allowable limit. He had no choice but to turn down the throttle and let the plane turn a small angle and slide down to cool the engine. When the temperature dropped slightly, he quickly changed the plane to level flight and tried to recover a little altitude at a small angle. Because there is a thousand meters high mountain below, but before long, the temperature is high again, and he is going to fall again, the height is getting lower and lower, and he is getting closer and closer to the top. Soviet consultants are experts, and they soon discovered this situation and were a little impatient. He kept yelling, pointing and pointing at Hu Lin in Russian and Chinese.

But what good idea can he have? Can only make Hu Lin more nervous, the in the mind more disorderly, Serina Liu immediately said to the consultant through translation:

"Hu Lin is an excellent pilot. We trust him. Let him handle it himself. Everything will be fine. Don't worry. "

These words made the consultant stop shouting, and Hu Lin's mind was much clearer. So he decided not to fly along a straight route, but to avoid the mountains and use the method of descending step by step along the Daliao River Valley to fly forward very hard, which soon consumed the original height of 2000 meters and forced the plane to fly at ultra-low altitude. At the last minute, when he was planning to land in Hu Lin, fortunately, he saw the airstrip of Zhengjiatun shooting range. Results When the plane landed safely, the engine was turned off.

The plane landed safely, Hu Lin was sweating all over, and he felt weak when he touched his clothes, while foreign consultants were cheering hard. Serina Liu patted Hu Lin on the shoulder, clutching his hand and said:

"Thank you, the victory will always be ours."

In such an adventure, * * * and China's air force grew up and eventually became an eagle in the air.
