Brief introduction of black cat squadron

Chen Huaisheng, a pilot of the 35th squadron of Taiwan Province Kuomintang Air Force, designed a black cat pattern for the U-2 reconnaissance plane equipped by the squadron. The black cat represents the U-2 fuselage, and the golden cat's eye symbolizes the sharp high-altitude camera. The pilots specially ordered a batch of jackets marked with black cats, so the 35th Squadron of the Kuomintang Air Force in Taiwan Province Province was also called "Black Cat Squadron". One day, when I got together with instructor Zhou, a classmate of Air Force Kindergarten and Military Academy, I mentioned that they would perform a special task in a reconnaissance unit. After conceptual design and explanation, Instructor Zhou, who likes painting from Sichuan kindergarten, drew a pattern of a black cat and gave it back to the 35th Squadron. All the players agreed to use the black cat pattern designed by Chen Huaisheng as the team emblem of their 35th Squadron.

The Korean War ended in 1953, and East and West entered the Cold War. The United States regards the mainland as an imaginary enemy, and urgently needs the United States to grasp the information of China people's independent research and development of nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missiles in order to increase the bargaining chip; The Kuomintang government has just retreated to Taiwan Province Province and is in urgent need of American assistance. In order to maintain the relationship between the United States and Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek appointed his son Jiang Jingguo to sign a contract with the CIA. Under the cover of "Western companies", the two sides provided planes and necessary equipment, and set up 34 low-altitude reconnaissance squadrons (the famous "Black Bat Squadron") and 35 high-altitude reconnaissance squadrons (this is the "Black Cat Squadron"), which were directly responsible by the leaders of Taiwan Province Province and the United States, which was authorized by President Kennedy.

The Black Cat Squadron was formally established on February 196 1. It was established at the Taoyuan Base of the Air Force and named as the Air Force Meteorological Reconnaissance Research Group. It is called the 35th Squadron of the Air Force, and it is directly under the news department of the Air Force General Command. In fact, it is the responsibility of the US Strategic Air Force, but it is coordinated by the Central Intelligence Agency because it involves high secrets. The United States provided four U-2 reconnaissance planes in July 1960 and February 1962 respectively, and Taiwan Province Air Force provided personnel to carry out high-altitude reconnaissance missions in Chinese mainland. 196265438+1October13rd, the first U-2 plane piloted by the Kuomintang Air Force entered the mainland for reconnaissance for the first time, and returned to Hsinchu Air Force Base 14 hours later. The maiden voyage of the U-2 plane has gone deep into the northwest of China, and a huge abandoned high platform structure was found in the depths of the desert. The US Central Intelligence Agency confirmed from the photos taken that China does have plans to develop missiles; It is also concluded that China and the Soviet Union have parted ways. Later, the U-2 plane found that the nuclear power generation facilities aided by the Soviet Union in China had been interrupted, and there was no activity at a nuclear weapons test site. By May 24th, 1974, the mission had been completed 220 times, and * * * 28 pilots of Taiwan Province Air Force joined, of which 10 was sacrificed. On September 9th, 1962, a U-2 plane of Black Cat Squadron entered the mainland from the direction of Pingtan Island and flew to Jiangxi along Xiaying Line via Fuzhou. After flying over Yugan, Poyang Lake and Jiujiang, the plane suddenly turned left and approached Nanchang from Huangmei and Guangji. The Second Battalion of the People's Liberation Army Ground-to-Air Missile, which was secretly ambushed in Nanchang, fired three Sam-2 missiles in succession and shot them down near the southeast of Nanchang 15km Luojiaji. Chen Huaisheng, the pilot of Kuomintang Lieutenant Colonel, died after parachuting and landing. This is the first U-2 plane shot down by the PLA. 1 963165438+1October1day, a U-2 reconnaissance plane piloted by Ye, a major pilot of the Kuomintang Air Force, was shot down in Wanluo Mountain, Jiangxi County, and Ye parachuted and was captured. 1On July 7, 964, another U-2 plane of the Kuomintang Air Force was shot down in Hongban Village, southeast of Zhangzhou, Fujian, and the pilot died in the cockpit. 196565438+1October 10, the last U-2 plane of Taiwan Province Air Force entered the mainland from Haiyang, Shandong Province, and flew to Baotou via Huanghua and Datong. The PLA Ground-to-Air Missile 1 Battalion ambushed in Baotou shot down three missiles in one fell swoop, and Zhang Liyi, a major pilot of the Kuomintang Air Force, was captured.

At that time, spy satellite photography technology was not mature, and low-altitude reconnaissance was limited to coastal areas. The Black Cat Squadron is responsible for assisting the United States to conduct in-depth reconnaissance in Chinese mainland.

The flying height of an ordinary passenger plane is about 30,000 to 40,000 feet (9150m ~12,200m), while that of a fighter plane can only reach 40,000 feet (12,200m). The U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance plane provided by the US military can soar at an altitude of 70,000 feet (2 1350m). The U-2, which is based on the glider, has a light structure and a wing length of 103 feet (3 1.4 meters). It is called one of the most difficult planes in the world and has a romantic nickname "Mrs. Xiaolong". Very suitable for climbing, but not easy to land. Frequent shutdown, oil leakage, failure, careless will disintegrate in the air.

The uniqueness of Black Cat Squadron is that it has to go deep into Chinese mainland alone, and the task often lasts for more than eight hours. In addition, missile ambushes or sudden weather changes may occur at any time along the way. Unfortunately, its biggest threat comes from the fragile structure of the aircraft itself. Therefore, a qualified U-2 pilot not only needs excellent flying skills, but also needs excellent physical strength and endurance. More importantly, he needs a stable personality and deep self-control. In short, it must be the elite of elite pilots, and it is best to have natural good luck. Black cat squadron troops are stationed at Taoyuan Air Force Base. 196 1 year 1 month, the first U2 reconnaissance plane was stationed, and 196 1 year began to perform its tasks. During the period from 196 1 to 1965, * * made more than 30 sorties into the mainland. Since 1966, the tasks to the mainland have decreased, and most of them are coastal oblique photography tasks. Finally, due to the easing of US-China relations, 1970 stopped the mission, and after 1974, the plan was officially suspended and the American personnel were evacuated.

Black Cat Squadron has achieved fruitful results in its thirteen-year mission. He investigated the first and second nuclear bomb explosions in People's Republic of China (PRC), as well as the deployment and development of industrial, military and traffic targets in Chinese mainland provinces.

1977, the 35th squadron was reorganized under the 427th wing, equipped with an armed T-33A trainer. At this time, the whole team is divided into three night attack detachments and an anti-electronic detachment to perform the God Gull exercise for the electronic warfare support force.

1989, the self-made AT-3 hadron senior coach-light attack aircraft was changed, and the 35th squadron was changed to the 35th combat team of the independent squadron, commonly known as the "Antelope Squadron". 1992 to hsinchu 499 united front. 1. Close to the mainland.

2. The pilot is excellent.

3. Covered by the subtle hostility between the two sides of the strait.

The authorities of Taiwan Province Province publicly declared that their determination to fight back against the mainland has not diminished. Officially, the mainland is China's territory, and we can spy on every region at will.
