On September 27, 1965, Navy Commander Xiao Jinguang sent a special plane to land in Wenchang, Hainan, and came to find a militia named Fuqihe . The navy personnel were very happy when they saw Fuqihe and held his hand to express their purpose: Chairman Mao invited Fuqihe to attend the 16th anniversary of the National Day.
On October 1, Fu Qihe really boarded the Tiananmen Observation Platform . Two days later, Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou also met with Fu Qihe and his group in Great Hall of the People. Soon after, the central government rewarded Fu Qihe a Type 56 submachine gun, which became Fu Qihe's favorite treasure.
In 1981, the Ministry of Public Security issued a new policy on gun management, and any guns that have not been approved by procedures must be sent to the local public security organs.
When the staff found Fu Qihe's family and were about to take away the submachine gun , Fu Qihe shouted: This is what Chairman Mao awarded me, no one can take it away! So, what is the contribution of this talisman Qi combination that can be taken so seriously by the central government? All of this involves a complicated history.
In August 1964, the United States created " Beibu Gulf Incident " in Vietnam, expanding the scale of the war, and China's South China Sea was also affected. Because of the lessons of the Korean War , Americans dare not dispatch ground troops to attack North Vietnam , but their planes often make some edge moves, and go out and go along the edges of China's territorial waters and coastlines, in an attempt to provoke trouble.
As for the world background at that time, China was very uncomfortable. The United States established military bases in Japan, Philippines and South China Sea , forming a siege. China's relations with the Soviet Union have broken down, and the two sides have launched a fierce debate and publicly criticized each other.
So China can rely on only itself. However, Chairman Mao was not afraid. On April 9, 1965, due to repeated provocations by the US military, the Central Military Commission issued a combat order: US aircraft invade Hainan Island , and should be fought and resolutely.
The Navy immediately launched the deployment. After everything was ready, the 4th Division of the Navy Aviation Army moved from Qingdao to Hainan, ready to kill the invading US aircraft at any time.
The US military is indeed crazy enough. They rely on their advanced equipment and do not take our country's air defense power seriously. It sent a "Fire Bee" unmanned reconnaissance plane to my country's airspace to perform high-altitude cameras, surveillance and other tasks. The reason why
dared to do this is because the flight altitude of "Fire Bee" can reach about 20,000 meters, while the maximum ceiling of China's most advanced fighter jets at that time was only about 18,000 meters. It is almost impossible to hit high from low at such a high distance, so the US military is unscrupulous.
But the Americans ignored the determination of Chinese soldiers to defend their country. In order to drive the invaders out, our pilots removed some non-must-assembled equipment on the plane and reduced the weight as much as possible. This move increased the limit a lot.
and then tactically improved. When the aircraft climbs to a certain height, it first flies flat, and then suddenly accelerates to pull the aircraft up. This way, the aircraft can be ejected using inertia, so as to achieve high hits and lows. This method is very effective, but it also increases a lot of dangers. However, Chinese pilots were not afraid and tried actively, and finally successfully shot down a "fire bee".
This result surprised the Americans very much, but they were not dead, so they soon sent F-4B supersonic fighter jets to invade our airspace. Faced with better performance enemy aircraft, our pilots were not afraid. Once the invaders, they would take off to intercept them. The Americans did not get any good, but instead lost two F-4Bs. Pilot Li Dayun was commended by superiors.
clearly had the advantage but failed one after another. The senior US officials were extremely angry. So on the morning of September 20, 1965, the US military sent an all-weather multi-purpose high-speed fighter F-104C fighter, which took off from Da Nang, South Vietnam, and approached Chinese airspace from Eman Port at 10:47.
This fighter is equipped with the "Vulcan" automatic air cannon and the "Rattlesnake" air-to-air missile. It is the world's first fighter that reaches twice the speed of sound and maintains the speed of the hour, the climb rate, and the world record of maximum ceiling.
At that time, it also had a nickname called "MiG Nemesis" , and its performance was better than that of the PLA's main J-6 aircraft. Just looking at the paper data, the PLA had no choice but to use it. However, the People's Liberation Army has never been superstitious about these things! Since the enemy has come, it must pay the price.
HNA Division 10th Regiment Flight Captain Gao Xiang and Deputy Captain Huang Fengsheng at 210:58 to take off from Haikou Airport to prepare for the battle. At 11:10, the F-104C went in and out over the Chinese territorial waters, which was clearly a provocation. At this time, Gao Xiang and Huang Fengsheng were still a little far away, so they could not launch an attack immediately.
11 at 19:00, the US aircraft invaded again and headed straight towards Leizhou Peninsula . My ground command immediately ordered: intercept the attack! Under the guidance of radar , Gao Xiang and Huang Fengsheng rushed towards the target immediately.
In order to catch up with the US aircraft, Gao Xiang threw down the fuel tank when there was only 50 kilometers away and cut into the front point as fast as possible. At that time, the US aircraft also discovered them. However, the F-104C was better than the J-6 in terms of speed and firepower, so its pilot was very arrogant and wanted to turn around and leave swayingly.
Americans are rampant, but Gao Xiang and Huang Fengsheng are very calm and chase after them at full speed. When they are more than 200 meters apart, Gao Xiang's aiming halo of the J-6 has completely trapped the F-104C. At the speed at that time, Gao Xiang would hit the enemy plane in about 3 seconds.
At this moment of life and death, Gao Xiang was still not panicked. He pressed the 3 30mm aerial cannons buttons at the same time, and his fingers did not release. He used all his strength to lift it about 39 meters away from the enemy plane, successfully avoiding the result of stabbing into the tail of the enemy plane. He is indeed a master of art and courage!
Two hundred shells were hit in just a few seconds, which shows the tragic moment. Fortunately, Gao Xiang’s adventure is worth it! F-104C was instantly exploded, and its pilot ejected and parachuted and landed on the sea surface of Qizhouyang east of Wenchang .
Because the distance is too close, the debris generated by the explosion of the US aircraft have also seriously affected Gao Xiang's fighter jet, causing the engine on the right to stop and the one on the left to be seriously damaged. Gao Xiang checked his identity and found that there was no injury, so he turned off the engine on the right, slowly closed the accelerator, and successfully landed with only one engine.
Gao Xiang and Huang Fengsheng became heroes! When the ground staff went to inspect the fighter plane, they found that Gao Xiang's J-6 had 51 holes broken out by fragments, which was really a blessing! Someone asked Gao Xiang if he wasn't afraid, and he replied:
I have to do something if I'm afraid or not. I can't tell the leader after I come down, "I dare not fight!" Even if I can't hit it, I will knock it down!
His words reminded me of Wang Wei Martyrs, Chinese pilots and Chinese soldiers are all good! The fierce air battle in has nothing to do with Fu Qihe, but the arrest of the American pilot who jumped was due to Fu Qihe!
Fu Qihe was a member of the of the Qiongya Column in his early years. Later, he had to go home to recuperate due to injury. He still yearned for revolution in his heart. After Hainan was liberated, he joined the militia team. On the day of the air battle, he and another militiaman Wang Luyuan burned lime near Baohu Port in Wengtian, Wenchang County, and suddenly heard a loud noise in the air.
They looked up and saw an airplane falling down, splashing a lot of water, and soon another small black shadow was floating down. The talisman was judged to be a parachute. He asked Wang Luyuan to report quickly, and he took a bamboo pole with lime and touched it quietly.
At first Fu Qihe thought it was a Chinese pilot who fell into the water, but when he saw the foreign face, he knew it was not. This would be a big trouble. He looked around and only the only weapon that could be called a bamboo pole, and pilots often had guns. This was very dangerous in the past. The best way was to hide on the spot and monitor closely.
Koqihe When he saw the other party take out the communication device , he immediately decided to stop it immediately. As a local, he was very familiar with the terrain of this area, so he secretly walked behind the American pilot. When there were about 50 meters apart, Fu Qihe heard the sound of sending a telegram.
Taking advantage of the opponent's concentration, he accelerated the speed and approached, then used a bamboo pole to press the enemy's back and roared: is not allowed to move! Raise your hands!
The American pilot was frightened and trembled all over. He didn't know what weapon it was against him, so he could only do it obediently. Fu Qihe took the opportunity to seize his gun and asked him to turn it around. Because the American pilot did not understand what he said, Fu Qihe patted his shoulder and signaled.
and the American pilot turned around and found that the weapon behind him was not a gun. He instantly called himself stupid, but at this point he couldn't do anything, so he could only follow Fu Qihe.
Not long after, Wang Luyuan rushed over with a group of militia. None of them understood what the American pilot said, so he could only find an English teacher at the nearby school. Through communication, he learned that the man was named Philip Smith , with a military number of 4360, and a captain. He joined the US Air Force in 1957 and was proficient in flying a variety of fighter jets.
On the same day, the Navy took Smith from Wenchang to Haikou. Our army has always had a policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, and asked him to have dinner in the cafeteria of the Air Force cadre of the South China Sea Fleet before interrogating. Gao Xiang, who shot him down, was also listening.
Smith admitted the fact that he invaded Chinese airspace. When recalling the air war, he was still scared: You are too crazy, so I wouldn't dare to fire at such a close distance.
The next day, the news that the US F-104C fighter jet was shot down by the People's Liberation Army and the American pilots were captured by Chinese militia were published in major newspapers, which immediately caused a global sensation, which made the world understand a truth--Chinese people are not easy to mess with!
shot down the American aircraft is not far from National Day, which adds joy to this special day. The central government specially invited everyone who made contributions to this time to go to Beijing to attend the ceremony.
Fu Qihe was very excited. Unexpectedly, he still had the opportunity to shake hands with Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou. Before he returned to Hainan, the Navy Headquarters also gave him a Type 56 submachine gun and 500 rounds on behalf of Chairman Mao. Later, Fu Qihe served as deputy director of the Wenchang County Revolutionary Committee and a member of the Hainan Provincial Revolutionary Committee, and enjoyed the treatment of the League level.
The gun has always been a treasure with talismans and is often taken out and wiped. He has been caring carefully for more than ten years and looks like new. In April 1981, the Ministry of Public Security issued a new policy on gun management. Fu Qihe's health was already very bad, but when someone wanted to collect the gun, he still refused anxiously.
On October 14 of the same year, Fu Qihe passed away. Before his death, he specifically instructed his son Fu Zhifa: Chairman Mao rewarded me with a submachine gun. This is the most proud thing in my life. I have kept it for more than ten years. Now I will hand it over to you intact. My last wish is that you will hand this submachine gun and those bullets to the Chinese Military Museum to educate future generations and carry forward the revolutionary tradition...
Actually, in a distant place, there is a person who has always been concerned about Fu Qihe, that is, the American pilot Smith, who was captured by him.
Smith returned to the United States with the approval of the Prime Minister in 1973. Since then, he has remained an aviation commander and worked in Greek and West Germany . In 1989, he followed the military delegation to China and proposed to meet Gao Xiang and Fu Qi. At this time, Gao Xiang had retired. When he learned that the "old friend" had made an appointment, he would have met again.
After meeting, Smith thanked Gao Xiang for just shooting the plane and not hurting anyone, but Gao Xiang shook his head and said: The plane exploded and you are fine. This is all God's will, no need to thank me.
Then the two of them drank and said joy. Smith asked Gao Xiang if he knew where Fu Qihe was now. Fu Qihe didn't attack him at the beginning and had wanted to thank him in person for so many years. Gao Xiang told the truth, Smith's face was filled with loss.
Both are air elites. Smith asked for his many years of doubts through alcohol: Why is my plane clearly better than you in all aspects, but it was still defeated by you? You fired at me so close, aren’t you afraid of being in danger?
Gao Xiang replied: Every Chinese soldier is willing to use his life to defend his motherland. This is why I can defeat you! This is true. When resisted U.S. aggression and aid Korea, the US military was far stronger than volunteers. In the end, they were driven back to the 38th line and signed the armistice agreement, because the belief of Chinese soldiers in defending their country has never changed! The red bloodline will be passed on forever!
