On January 8, 1966, a vicious defection occurred in the Fuzhou Military Region, shocking the whole country. At that time, on our army's "F-131" landing craft, the three Wu brothers shot and killed seven comrades who were traveling with him, with the purpose of seeking a trip to Taiwan. The news quickly came back to the central government, and a huge wave was instantly stirred up. Premier Zhou was furious and ordered: he would fight on his way to Taiwan at all costs.
At that time, the three Wu brothers had entered the Mazu Island under the control of the Kuomintang and would be taken to Taiwan as "righteous men" the next day.
General Zeng Youcheng, who received the interception order, immediately began to deploy. The Kuomintang must have made complete preparations, so there is only one opportunity. The defection incident was serious and complicated, and it would be bad once the three Wu brothers successfully arrived in Taiwan. Not only did the seven soldiers die in vain, but they would also cause greater trouble for the central government. Our army must do its best to make the Kuomintang's plan bankrupt.
The battle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is about to break out. Which one can win the air combat? Why did the three Wu brothers put the People's Liberation Army into improperly? Why did they have to spend all their efforts to join the Kuomintang? What is their final outcome?
The beginning of everything will start from 1949:
Back then, the last line of defense of the Kuomintang was defeated by our army. Chiang Kai-shek knows that the overall situation has been decided and the mainland can no longer stay, so he has to retreat to Taiwan with all his wealth and remnants. Despite this, Chiang Kai-shek's ambitions have not diminished but increased, and he has been thinking about how to return to the mainland all day long. With the help of the US, Chiang Kai-shek did cause a lot of trouble to the central government, but the effect was minimal.
So Chiang Kai-shek planned to start elsewhere, such as the indestructible People's Liberation Army. In order to dismantle the will of the PLA soldiers, Chiang Kai-shek began to imitate the "Voice of the United States" and create the so-called "Voice of Taiwan" in an attempt to lure our soldiers to join their camp. In order to better achieve his goal, Chiang Kai-shek also invested a lot of money.
As long as the People's Liberation Army came to Taiwan by flying a fighter jet, Chiang Kai-shek will give him a generous reward of 1,500 taels of gold. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to obtaining bonuses based on different equipment and positions, it can also be awarded official positions. A life of rich and rich lights and rich life is even more normal. No one cares about what you want to do, that's a joyful life.
Everyone knows that the PLA troops have always been in a difficult environment and are disciplined. They must not be selfish in everything, but not everyone can be unswerving. Otherwise, Chiang Kai-shek was cunning and cunning, these conditions were specifically used to deceive the warriors. Among them, the three Wu brothers were the most crazy, namely Wu Wenxian , Wu Chunfu , and Wu Jiazhen.
All three are from Fujian. Although they are not related by blood, they are better than relatives and often play together. At that time, the three of them were notorious gangsters in the village, who were vain and pursuing fame and fortune. Their family tried their best to make them change.
After hearing that the troops were disciplined strictly and no matter how difficult it was, the three of them were obedient and obedient by their parents, and were assigned to the 7th Garrison Division of the Fuzhou Military Region.
Speaking of the 7th Garrison Division, this is a relatively special army.
In the 1960s, my country's coastal areas were deeply invaded by foreign forces. In order to safeguard the safety of the general public and property, heavy troops were garrisoned at important checkpoints and coastal areas. However, New China is in a time when everything is in trouble and needs soldiers everywhere. Some places are really powerless, such as Fujian on the southeast coast.
, but it is impossible to garrison without troops. Therefore, the organization organized the county level of Fujian Province to draw personnel at four locations, and finally formed the 7th Fuzhou Garrison Division. The seemingly best solution actually hides great disadvantages and lays hidden dangers for the defection of the Wu family and the other three.
Such troops are actually not formal, especially after they were later classified into the Fuzhou Military Region, the old and new blood were intertwined, and the political and ideological and military qualities were uneven. For example, the three Wu brothers were "prosperous" in this army.
Although they were also influenced by discipline at the beginning, their essence was revealed over time. All three of them put profit first. After doing too much work that is hard and not good, they naturally have bad thoughts, so several people often gather together to think about how to make a profit. At the same time, the leader Wu Wenxian has a half-official position and has some say.
At first, Wu Wenxian and his team used their positions to fill their pockets, and each time they committed a crime, they were both stimulating and excited. Gradually, as the finances obtained more and more, the appetite grew bigger and bigger. At that time, the army had a batch of military supplies seized from the enemy, and the amount was very large. After Wu Wenxian learned the news, he immediately notified the other two people to "conference". In a dark and hidden utility room, three people gathered together to discuss how to get some supplies. If nothing unexpected happens, this batch of materials will be guarded by heavy troops and it is not so easy to take away.
After a long discussion, Wu Wenxian decided to take the risk. At that time, the three of them covered each other and used the supplies to exchange them for money as soon as they got them. In this way, even if there were fewer things to be found, they could not find their brothers, but things did not go as smoothly as expected.
It turned out that although the actions of the three Wu brothers were hidden, they were still noticed by the military region and began to secretly monitor several people. These two men have been gangsters for several years and have learned the anti-reconnaissance skill in the army. After Wu Wenxian noticed something strange, he was frightened.
He immediately told his brothers about this matter. The three of them thought of their consequences at the same time and couldn't help but feel scared and sweated. Because they still have stolen goods in some part of the army, and once the organization finds out, the consequences will be unimaginable. Wu Wenxian, who is the backbone, immediately said that he would quickly find a hiding place, escape the punishment, and live a stable life.
Just at this moment, a beautiful and pleasant female voice sounded, and the three of them were shocked. Soon, the few people who were guilty of being guilty found that it was just a sound from the radio station, and it was not someone who eavesdropped here. It was a false alarm.
At that time, the Kuomintang used the "Voice of Taiwan" to deceive our soldiers. The troops repeatedly banned our soldiers from listening to reactionary radio stations. The three of them thought the radio station was useless, so they threw it in a certain corner at will. Just as they were about to speak, the radio suddenly rang out loud, and then the female anchor began to promote the Kuomintang's policies and repeatedly promised that the People's Liberation Army would have whatever they wanted whenever they came to Taiwan.
High-ranking official salary, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and beautiful villas, you can choose as you like. Isn’t this a good place for the three greedy brothers! Several people were blinded by joy. They could not refuse such conditions. They ignored the military discipline and privately conspired to defect to Taiwan. Now, they are waiting for a suitable opportunity, a legitimate opportunity to go out to sea, and the day will soon arrive.
One day in January 1966, Wu Wenxian and his troops received the task of escorting supplies and boarded the landing craft from Fuzhou Mawei to Xiapu . In addition to the three Wu people, there are 7 soldiers forming a 10-person team. Everyone was discussing whether they could come back before the New Year. They also wanted to watch the performance of the art team and wanted to go home to spend time with their families.
Maybe this is simple for others, but it will become a regret for these 7 people because they can't wait for that day!
On January 8 of the same year, a team of 10 people boarded the landing craft. In addition to the captain of the bridge, the three most important positions are the navigator, the turbine , and the gunman. Unfortunately, Wu Wenxian and the other two were all responsible for their success. Long before boarding the ship, the three of them had already formulated a plan to escape, the first thing was to kill these seven people so that the Kuomintang could see "sincerity".
According to regulations, when landing craft sails to Mazu waters, they must implement "light control" and move forward in the dark. Because this sea area is still under the jurisdiction of the Kuomintang, and for safety reasons, all lights will be turned off on the ship by then. Unexpectedly, it was hard to defend against it, but it was still letting our own people take advantage of the loopholes.
approached the Mazu waters, and the ship was pitch black. The waves slapped the hull, making a low and rhythmic sound. The Wu and the other two had already begun to act. They installed silencers on the gun, and first killed the captain, and then sneaked into the cabin and shot the six people in their sleep. In less than five minutes, the seven soldiers died like this. Perhaps they didn't know who the murderer was until they died.
After doing all this, Wu Wenxian and Wu Jiazhen cooperated with each other, one was responsible for leading the navigation and the other was responsible for driving, changing the course, and heading to Mazu Island. At about two o'clock in the evening, the landing craft entered the Kuomintang military cordon. The Kuomintang soldiers were frightened and immediately surrounded him and quickly asked the officers for instructions.
At the beginning, the Kuomintang officer believed that the landing craft might be a fraud. Because the boat violated the light control and turned on the lights. However, a very wide white cloth hung on the mast, and the word "surrender" can be vaguely seen on it. Are the visitors or friends? Or do you want them to let go of their guards because of this so that they can catch the turtle in a jar and catch them all in one go?
Before the officer could come up with a countermeasure, three people came out of the boat. They jumped and waved to the Kuomintang, and then dragged out several cold bodies. I really didn't expect that Wu Wenxian and the others were so inhumane. Even their comrades were used as "tools" to show off. Are you not afraid of finding the score with them when they dreamed of returning to the middle of the night?
Seeing this scene, the Kuomintang officer suppressed his inner disgust and immediately sent someone to pick up the three of them. Then he took them to take a shower, get a haircut, and put his clothes in order, which indicates that the three brothers will start a "new life" in the future.
What the actions of the three Wu brothers were, our army received the news that night and issued an interception order to Zeng Youcheng. But the problem is that Mazu Island is not far from Taiwan and will arrive quickly by plane, and the interception mission is extremely difficult. More importantly, our army can only take action if a special plane enters the strait. At the same time, the Kuomintang has been monitoring our army's every move.
In other words, once our army moves, the Kuomintang will definitely be prepared for it. Success or failure is here, our army must complete the task and no mistakes are allowed!
htmlOn November 9, our army began to deploy a meticulous combat plan. In order to ensure that this operation is foolproof, four pilots with rich combat experience were specially sent to carry out the mission, flying two J-5 fighters and two J-6 fighters . After the deployment work is completed, the pilot is waiting at the airport.
J-5 fighter is easy to control, has fierce firepower, and has extremely high human-machine cooperation; the J-6 fighter is more advanced and has been the main fighter of our army for a long time. In contrast, the Kuomintang used the F-100 fighter . Although it was imported by the United States, there were frequent accidents in terms of stability and control. In addition, pilots generally take quick shapes and do not master deep skills. To sum up, we beat the Kuomintang in any aspect, but we can’t stand the opportunity only once!
At that time, there were already three aircraft on Mazu Island, one transport aircraft, one maritime patrol aircraft and the HU-16 amphibious aircraft. Our army cannot determine which plane Wu Wenxian and others will take, which leads us to great difficulties.
Zeng Youcheng and a group of leaders believed that the Kuomintang was most likely to use the HU-16 amphibious machine. It can fly at a low altitude close to the sea, and can escape our army's pursuit and interception well. The Kuomintang cannot seek trouble and choose the other two aircraft with no chance of victory. In fact, there are almost more than 30 people, including three traitors, journalists and related personnel.
The transport machine was not repaired in a short time due to operation errors. The maritime patrol aircraft can only carry up to 8 people, and the only available one is the HU-16 amphibious aircraft. Time passed minute by minute, and the radio responsible for monitoring Mazu Island remained silent. Both sides were calm on the surface, but in fact, the darkness had already surging. It was just that who could not help but break the calm first.
At 2:50 pm, Wu Wenxian and others started boarding the plane. It was the HU-16 amphibious aircraft. However, the HU-16 watercraft did not take off immediately, but remained motionless.At the same time, the radio waves were moving, which was a dialogue between Mazu Island and Taiwan. The general meaning was: the plane was about to take off and it was safe to do so.
is obvious. This is a trick used by the Kuomintang to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Our army saw through it at a glance and was too lazy to pay attention to this drama. After a while, the Kuomintang began to spread false news again, saying that the plane had malfunctioned just now and now it took off soon. He said that, but the Kuomintang did not move at all, so naturally our army did not move either, so he used this to accumulate energy.
After two rounds of tests, the Kuomintang relaxed its vigilance and took off at 3:30 pm.
About 8 minutes later, our army captured the traces of the HU-16 watercraft through the radar system, about 5,000 meters southeast. Seeing that the time was ripe, Zeng Youcheng immediately ordered the takeoff, and the two-wheeled aircraft in charge of covering flew to high altitude, and the two-wheeled aircraft pilots in charge of intercepting Li Chunguang and Hu Yingfa approached the enemy plane through the instructions of the command post.
:51, Li Chunguang and the others discovered the target HU-16 watercraft. At this time, the fighter planes were 700 or 800 meters apart. Hu Yingfa's first attack missed a little, causing no substantial damage, but instead alerted the enemy plane increased its horsepower to escape.
Hu Yingfa also increased his firepower when he saw this and pursued the enemy planes relentlessly. When the distance was 400 to 500 meters, Hu Yingfa pointed at the target and launched a second attack. This time, Hu Yingfa hit the tail of the enemy plane. Although he failed to shoot it down, he greatly slowed down his driving speed.
At this time, the HU-16 watercraft pilot immediately asked the escort group for help, but they were also helpless and were being beaten by two J-6 fighters of our army and fled everywhere! At the critical moment, the pilot of the HU-16 watercraft slowed down his flight speed and planned to land on the sea to escape our pursuit. As expected, the enemy plane soon disappeared, and even the approximate range could not be determined.
At this moment, Li Chunguang quickly pressed a slope to the right and pulled it to the side. Now, not only can you see the enemy aircraft's emblem, but you can also pull the interval apart. In fact, Li Chunguang's move is equivalent to a desperate bet. The J-5 fighter's stall speed is 220 kilometers per hour, while Li Chunguang's speed has dropped to 240 kilometers per hour. The consequences are unpredictable!
Faced with these possible factors, Li Chunguang was not afraid of danger and focused on targeting the enemy plane not far ahead. 800 meters, 700 meters, 600 meters, it’s now! At about 400 meters, Li Chunguang locked the target and fired a fire quickly, and the enemy planes had nowhere to hide. After hitting, they fell into the endless ocean.
At this point, Premier Zhou’s interception task was successfully completed!
At this moment, more than ten hours have passed since the 7 soldiers died. Our army can finally straighten our backs and tell them that "the great revenge has been avenged"! On the other hand, Chiang Kai-shek led his subordinates and many reporters to wait for the arrival of Wu Wenxian and others, and waited for no one to see him. From the initial ecstasy to the gloomy face, Chiang Kai-shek began to complain and question whether there was a falsehood.
At this time, a Kuomintang soldier rushed over to report the news of the HU-16 water plane crash. Upon hearing this, Chiang Kai-shek was shocked and immediately sent a large number of planes and warship to search in the waters where the accident occurred, but he still found nothing.
htmlOn November 10, the " People's Daily " published the latest news: "On the afternoon of the 9th, the People's Liberation Army Air Force successfully shot down an enemy plane carrying three traitors and other personnel. Now the wreckage has fallen into the sea, and none of them survived." As soon as the news came out, people across the country applauded and praised the Air Force and the national defense forces. Of course, Chiang Kai-shek, who attempted to rely on the three Wu brothers to smear our party and create false public opinion, would not be happy. It really responds to the old saying, "I will lose my wife and my army." The plan will go bankrupt, not only will it lose a fighter plane, but it will also lose all its face.
Later, the Fuzhou Military Region strengthened the management of the troops, especially the stricter personal qualities and past, and there was no situation like the Wu family.During this defection incident, the seven PLA soldiers who unfortunately died were awarded the title of revolutionary martyr, hoping that the heroic souls of the martyrs can rest in peace!
In fact, there are many people like Wu Wenxian and others who are self-righteous and crazy. They try to overtake the rules and become unblocked in order to get promoted and make money. These people often have no good ending and will only fall into the abyss that will never be restored.
Everyone has desires, but remember not to be occupied by the entire brain. Insatiable greed will only make people lose money. The three brothers of Wu are the best and most intuitive examples.
