Li Guoyao had limited knowledge of the Chinese Air Force. Apart from Zhou Zhirou and Mao Bangchu, the only officer he knew was Gao Zhihang of the Gao Brigade whom Zhou Zhirou mentioned.
In the five thousand years of history of the Chinese nation, many people with lofty ideals and national heroes have emerged in resisting foreign humiliation. Especially in modern times, from the top nobles to the common people, there are heroic deeds that can be praised and praised. But if we want to talk about a group of heroes, it is only the Chinese Air Force.
Among this group of heroes, Gao Zhihang¡¯s deeds are especially touching. Even Li Guoyao, who is not from the Air Force, is in awe.
Gao Zhihang was born in a peasant family in Sankeyushu Village, Tonghua County. He is the eldest son of the family. He has been smart, brave and witty since he was a child, and is loved by his parents. When he was 10 years old, he came to Shenyang to study in a missionary school, where he laid a foundation in French.
In 1924, Gao Zhihang graduated from the first grade of Fengtian Sino-French Middle School and directly applied for the Northeast Army Officer Education Class in Beiguan, Shenyang. This is because, firstly, military school fees can reduce the burden on families; secondly, by studying military affairs, they can drive away the invaders who bully the Chinese people in the future.
Soon, Gao Zhihang began to learn gunnery. At this time, Marshal Zhang wanted to strengthen the air force, so Gao Zhihang became a pilot and was sent to study in France.
In January 1927, he returned to China with excellent grades and was appointed by Marshal Zhang as the major pilot of the Northeast Aviation Department's Flying Eagles. Soon he was transferred to the major instructor of the Northeast Aviation Education Class.
However, during a test flight of an aircraft that had just been purchased from abroad, the joystick accidentally popped up, breaking one of Gao Zhihang's legs. After being picked up by a Japanese doctor who was extremely irresponsible, the injured leg was slightly bent and the muscles were atrophied.
Later, his wife Gloria specially invited a Russian doctor in Harbin to cure his right leg, but it was still one centimeter shorter than his left leg. In the end, he was nicknamed the "Tall Cripple Pilot."
But just when Gao Zhihang was full of ambition and determined to make progress, something unexpected happened On September 18, 1931, Japanese imperialism launched the "September 18th" war of aggression against China.
On September 20, Gao Zhihang arrived in the ocean with simple luggage and a hundred yuan given by his father, disguised as an old man, and was escorted by his third brother Gao Mingxin to board the train from Shenyang Huanggutun to Peking.
Gao Zhihang entered Shanhaiguan in disguise, preparing to join Captain Nie of Shandong Han Fuju stationed at Jinan Airport. However, Captain Nie suggested that he continue to go south and introduced him to report to the Nanjing Navigation Commission. Later, Gao Zhihang arrived in Nanjing and met Major General Mao Bangchu, captain of the Aviation Corps.
Mao Bangchu was also very happy to learn that Gao Zhihang was going to join the newly established Chinese Air Force, but at this moment a rigid rule cast a shadow on the matter.
It turns out that the Chinese Air Force has regulations that prohibit air force officers from marrying foreign women. But since Gao Zhihang's wife is a Russian nobleman, Gao Zhihang can only choose one of the two.
This incident shocked Gao Zhihang. He tossed and turned at night and could not sleep.
Gao Zhihang and his wife met in Manchuria. At that time, he was on a flight mission and met the beautiful Belarusian exiled aristocrat Gloria in a store.
At that time, the two of them were shopping in a store. Gloria could only speak Russian and French. She chatted for a long time, but the store clerk didn't understand what she wanted to buy.
Gao Zhihang happened to run into him, so he took the initiative to act as a translator to get out of the situation. The two met so late that they got married privately in Manzhouli.
Although he was dissatisfied with the regulations of the Aviation Administration, in order to participate in the war against Japan and serve the country, Gao Zhihang had no choice but to make a painful decision: divorce his wife!
When the smiles of Gloria and her daughter appeared in front of his eyes, tears flowed down from the corners of Gao Zhihang's eyes unconsciously. He sat helplessly at the table and wrote these touching words: "Gloria's beloved wife: the deep love in the past has not reached her." In case of repayment, how can I call home when the country is in crisis? As a soldier, I should serve the country with my own life. For the independence of the country, the independence of the nation, the survival of the nation, and in order to drive the Japanese invaders out of China, I am determined to destroy my family and save the country. No matter how hard it is, I will go through fire and water, but I will not hesitate to do so. The love between my children and my own selfishness will be ignored. My wife is virtuous and understands the righteousness, so she will not resent me. I hope that my wife will cherish her and raise her daughter to a prosperous adult.
Dade does not hesitate to thank, and there is no reward. Now he is a passerby, feeling ashamed. However, military discipline is strict and there is nothing we can do. When weighing the country's difficulties, one should abandon one's family for the sake of the country. "
Since ancient times, there has been a dilemma between loyalty and justice. This letter of divorce is more like an affectionate letter from home, and it is touching to read every word.
Gao Zhihang¡¯s behavior is worthy of the country, but not worthy of his wife and daughter. When people praise heroes, who will remember the dedication and sacrifices made by their relatives?
In 1932, Gao Zhihang divorced Gloria, who had a deep relationship.
Later, Gloria was deported by the Kuomintang government and was never heard from again.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Gao Zhihang led the Fourth Brigade to Shanghai to participate in the Songhu Battle, and personally took off to participate in the Jianqiao air battle.
Although the Jianqiao air battle ended in only 20 minutes, 6 of the 18 enemy aircraft dispatched were shot down over Hangzhou and 7 were missing. All the War Eagles of the Fourth Group returned to the airport safely.
The "August 14th" air battle was the first air battle after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War across the country. It was a typical example of a weak country's air force defeating a powerful country's air force. This air battle shocked China and foreign countries, dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese invaders, and greatly boosted the ambition of the Chinese nation. After the news of the victory spread, the whole country rejoiced, and Gao Zhihang became famous in one fell swoop.
However, no one expected that in late November 1937, when Gao Zhihang was ordered to lead a team to Lanzhou to receive 100 new destroyers aided by the Soviet Union, he was retaliated by the Japanese aviation force and eventually died heroically. He was only 30 years old.
Although Gao Zhihang has been sacrificed, and even the four King Kongs of the Chinese Air Force were also killed at this time, the military spirit of the Chinese Air Force is immortal, so that whenever there is a crisis, everyone will still think of Gao Zhihang and others.
¡°While Li Guoyao and others were talking, there was a different scene at Hankou Wangjiadun Airport.
In the airport, the Air Force sweethearts from the Third and Fourth Destroyer Groups had just transferred to Wangjiadun. Before they had a chance to drink water, the piercing siren sounded in the airport.
Everyone knew that this was a combat alert and must board the plane immediately. No one complained. They all quickly packed up their personal belongings and gathered in front of the airport, waiting for the captain to announce the combat order.
Soon the 44 pilots were assembled and ready to go.
Liu Zhesheng, the captain of the Fourth Battalion who arrived later, came to the crowd and said loudly: "I just received a call from the Aviation Commission. A Japanese bomber brigade is flying westward along the Yangtze River under the cover of a fighter squadron. The Aviation Commission We will judge that the target of the Japanese army this time is Wuhan, so our mission this time is to intercept the Japanese bombers and ensure the safety of Wuhan! Do you have confidence!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
The pilots shouted loudly, the sound was deafening!
"Okay, let's board the plane!" Liu Zhesheng said loudly.
Following Liu Zhesheng¡¯s order, the flying athletes of the Third and Fourth Battalions boarded the plane and took off, heading towards the Japanese aviation force!
