Historical background

On May 4, 1949, six American-made Kuomintang B-24 bombers bombed Beiping Nanyuan Airport. The threat from the air made Mao Zedong, the leader of China's * * * production party, think that it is an urgent task for China's * * * production party to build a powerful people's air force.

without a strong air force, it is difficult for a country to resist the enemy's air attack. If an army has no air superiority, it will inevitably be suppressed from the air only by a strong army.

since the birth of China's * * * production party and its people's army, they have been fighting the enemy with bombs in the air? . The China Productive Party and the China People's Liberation Army, which are about to achieve national liberation and create a new China, must begin to solve the problem of no air force.
