Hello everyone, I'm Lantai.
Tang Duo, a young man from Hunan Province from a middle-class family, went from the countryside to the world and became a unique flying general among the founding generals. His legendary life carries the feelings of his family and country and the belief of serving the motherland.
Tang Duo was born in 1904 in Yiyang City, Hunan Province, and although his family background was good, he dropped out of school at the age of 14 because of the excessive cost of new education. However, with the favor of the god of fate, in 1918, Tang Duo was invited to participate in the work-study preparatory class organized by Cai Hesen and others. At the age of 14, he set out on his way to France.
In France, Don Duo joined the revolutionary movement, but was sent home as a "radical Bolshevik". He always cherished the ideal of developing aviation and defending the republic, and became a cadet of the first military flight school in our country.
In 1925, Tang Duo bravely signed up for the cadets selected by the people to go to the Soviet Air Force School. This decision became a key turning point in his life.
In the Soviet Union, Tang Duo not only learned flying skills, but also joined the Chinese Communist Party. From 1928 to 1943 he studied at the USSR Air Force Academy, graduated from the Zhukovsky Air Force Engineering Academy and became an aviation ordnance mechanical engineer.
Soviet years: the Chinese eagle flying over Red Square.
At the celebration of the 16th anniversary of the success of the October Revolution in the Soviet Union, Tang Duo, as a pilot of the long plane, led fighter jets over Red Square in Moscow. He became the only Chinese in history to fly a fighter over Red Square.
After the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, Tang Duo actively asked Ying to go to the front and was appointed as the deputy Xi commander of the 74th Regiment of the Soviet Air Force. He made many achievements in the Belarusian Campaign, the Baltic Campaign, the Liberation of East Prussia, and the Königsberg Campaign. In the battle for the liberation of Minsk, Belarus, he led a regiment of attack aircraft to shoot down 8 German fighters, blow up more than 10 German tanks, and destroy a tank battalion.
Post-war regrets: Honors fell short of expectations.
However, after the war, Tang Duo was not treated fairly as he deserved. Assigned to the Air Force School as an instructor, his rank was never promoted to a level commensurate with his exploits. The flying general, who had achieved great success, did not receive the recognition he deserved, and the gap was obvious compared to his Soviet contemporaries.
Even the Soviet comrades-in-arms were unhappy about this, believing that Tang Duo's military rank was too low. However, Tang Duo faced it indifferently, he firmly believed that the original intention of studying Xi Air Force was to serve the motherland, not for the rank of the Soviet Union.
Returning to China to serve the motherland: creating a new era of military engineering.
Since 1938, Tang Duo has repeatedly asked to return to China, and his desire to serve the motherland has not changed. It was not until 1953 that the Soviet Union granted his request to return home. Upon his return, he was appointed head of the Air Force Engineering Department at the Harbin Military Engineering Academy, where he assisted in the creation of the academy. With Tang Duo's efforts, the academy has gradually grown and made great contributions to the modernization of the Chinese Air Force.
In November 1983, Tang Duo died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage in Shenyang at the age of 80. The legendary story he left behind is not only a personal heroic history, but also a history of struggle in China's aviation industry. Tang Duo will always be the young man who takes Feiyun and serves the motherland.
This is a story about the legend of Fengyun air battle, Tang Duo's life, like a stirring song of flying, played a heroic melody of patriotism and serving the country.
I was deeply moved by the legendary story of General Tang Duo, whose life seemed to be a symphony of struggle and hard work, exuding the brilliance of tenacity, bravery and serving the country.
First of all, Tang Duo's early life shows that he was born into a rural family that was not wealthy, although his family was middle-class. Faced with his family's financial constraints, he showed a thirst for knowledge at an early age, and through his father's Mengguan Xi, he cultivated a solid cultural foundation. However, he dropped out of school at the age of 14 due to the high cost of new education, an experience that reflected the "rising illiteracy rate" in rural China at the time due to the implementation of the new school system. Tang Duo's efforts and pursuit of knowledge in such an environment laid the groundwork for his future life.
Tang Duo embarked on the road of work-study in France, showing his love for his motherland and his determination to fight for it. He participated in the revolutionary movement in France and was sent back to China, but he always cherished the ideal of developing aviation and defending the republic. This perseverance and dedication to ideals made him a cadet of China's first military flight school, laying a solid foundation for his future flying career.
During his studies in the Soviet Union, Tang Duo demonstrated extraordinary flight and communication skills, and rose to prominence in the Soviet Air Force. He not only became the only Chinese in history to fly a fighter plane over Red Square, but also actively invited Yingying to the front line in the Soviet-German war, bravely participated in many battles, and made many combat achievements. In particular, in the battles for the liberation of Belarus and East Prussia, he led pilots to shoot down enemy planes and blow up tanks, becoming the only general among China's founding generals to fly fighter jets against the German fascists.
However, after the war, he was not treated fairly as he deserved. In the Soviet Army, his rank was much lower than his actual contribution, and even lower than that of Soviet pilots of the same period. However, Tang Duo stuck to his original intention, saying that the purpose of studying Xi Air Force was to serve the motherland, not for the rank of Soviet Union. This attitude of indifferently facing the predicament shows Tang Duo's noble spirit of perseverance and patriotism to serve the country.
After returning to China, General Tang Duo made great efforts for the construction and development of the Harbin Military Engineering Academy and became an important promoter of the modernization of the Chinese Air Force. His contribution is not only reflected in the military field, but also makes great contributions to the cultivation of technical backbones and the promotion of the development of national defense.
In general, the life of General Tang Duo is a glorious history of China's aviation industry. His story inspires us and makes us more convinced that the pursuit of ideals and love for the motherland are beliefs that everyone should have. His life tells us that no matter where we are, we should keep our original intention and move forward bravely for our ideals and beliefs.
