In 1966, Pi Dingjun was then the deputy commander of the Fuzhou Military Region, and three Wu soldiers were preparing to go to Taiwan after killing seven comrades-in-arms and defecting to the Kuomintang. **After receiving an urgent telegram from Pi Dingjun in the West Flower Hall of Zhongnanhai, his expression became solemn.
Acts are unforgivable, whether in times of war or peace. He proposed severe punishment to Pi Dingjun, deputy commander of the Fuzhou Military Region, for the three soldiers to be shot dead on their way to Taiwan.
Why did the three Wu brothers defect? Is the end result as *** wants? What about Chiang's intentions?
The founding of the People's Republic of China allowed Chiang Kai-shek and the remnants of his Kuomintang to flee to Taiwan Province. Although our army defeated the main forces of the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek's ambitions did not disappear, and he prepared everywhere, trying to accumulate strength in order to **.
However, the KMT's small-scale actions did not have a significant impact and could not shake the stability of the Chinese Communist Party's position. However, Chiang Kai-shek hatched a new conspiracy in an attempt to "undermine the morale of the army".
At that time, the United States tried to support Chiang Kai-shek and his ** in order to control the Eastern continent and consolidate its hegemony. They proposed to introduce Taiwan's rich, advanced and hedonistic life to Chinese mainland to attract people to "surrender."
This will not only weaken the power of the PLA, but also strengthen the strength of the KMT, killing two birds with one stone.
When Chairman Chiang heard this, his heart suddenly swelled with conspiracy. He immediately ordered the establishment of a radio station called "Voice of Taiwan" in Taiwan, and cooperated with the "** radio station" of the United States to spread the idea of "capitalist superiority" to the mainland, claiming that as long as they went to Taiwan, ordinary people could get a bonus of 100 yuan, and soldiers could get 1,000 taels and a house.
The three Wu brothers were conditioned on lucrative treatment in the army, and most of the soldiers in our army remained loyal to the country, however, some greedy villains driven by profit surrounded them like flies.
These three Wu soldiers, Wu Wenwen, Wu Zhenjia and Wu Chunfu, are typical representatives of this kind. They are not related by blood, but because of one"Pros"Words and come together.
In order to protect the safety of people's lives and property and the independence of the country, China's coastal areas have always been harassed by foreign forces. To this end, the border troops were set up to vigorously recruit qualified personnel and expand the size of the army.
In the Fujian region, there is a special team called the "Fujian Seventh Military Division". Due to frequent changes in affiliation and the addition and removal of soldiers, the ranks are mixed with a variety of people.
Wu Wenwen, Wu Zhenjia and Wu Chunfu are all from Putian, Fujian Province, and they have always dreamed of getting something for nothing. The goal of joining the Seventh Armament Division is to become "military masters", and then to scavenge the people in the local area to satisfy their selfish desires.
However, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) is a people's contingent and resolutely prohibits acts of oppressing the people and acting as a prestige. This undoubtedly shattered the dreams of the three Wu brothers, and the rigorous training within the army began to make them look for ways to escape.
The three Wu brothers originally served in the army, but they were not satisfied with that. In the case of a shortage of personnel in charge of supplies in the army, they applied to the leadership to guard the supplies.
Their aim is to take advantage of their position to their advantage. With their cooperation, they smuggled the materials out and sold them, and all the money in exchange went into their own pockets, and they also bought a lot of valuables.
Pi Dingjun, of course, about the "sudden wealth" of the three Wu brothers, the surrounding comrades-in-arms also began to have questions. This made their hearts uneasy, and they discussed plans to find another way out again.
In order to achieve their ends, they will stop at nothing. In early 1966, the sweet female voice on the radio gave them inspiration. "Hello listeners, this is the 'Voice of Taiwan', and as always, we will broadcast the situation in Taiwan to you......You are welcome to come, and there will be a great reward waiting for you. ”
The enticing conditions and information about the Taiwan region came over the radio, which made the three Wu brothers so excited that they decided to leave the mainland and join the Kuomintang. However, the road to Taiwan was not easy, and they could only temporarily use their power for personal gain, store supplies, and prepare for a future life of defection.
Soon after, they ushered in a turning point.
The mission was to deliver supplies, but it had serious consequences. On January 8, 1966, the three Wu brothers boarded the landing craft with the board number F131 and held important positions, namely navigator, engineer and gunner.
They plotted and said ruthlessly: "We will get rid of the other seven people, and then take the landing craft and supplies with us to show the Kuomintang our sincerity." "When approaching the Matsu Sea, since it is under the jurisdiction of the Kuomintang, everyone on the F131 landing craft must pass with their lights off in order to attract as little attention as possible.
However, in a dark and silent environment, the three Wu brothers showed their best eyes, took out the Type 56 submachine gun and Type 54 pistol that had been prepared, and aimed them at their sleeping comrades.
In a sudden strafing fire, some of their comrades lost their lives in their sleep, and they didn't even know who the dead enemy was. There were also some comrades-in-arms who tried to fight back after the gunshots rang out, but were ruthlessly knocked down by the three Wu brothers, their eyes full of doubts and regrets.
In this merciless slaughter, seven innocent warriors fell silently in the vast ocean. However, the three Wu brothers showed no remorse for the inhumane killing of their former comrades-in-arms, and actively searched for a Kuomintang station.
In order to defect to the Kuomintang, the three Wu brothers cut off all contact between the landing craft and the base and sailed straight to the Matsu waters. They even openly hung a white flag on the boat, which read: "Surrender to the Kuomintang, please do not attack." ”
In the early morning of January 9, the Kuomintang garrison was lit up, and when they saw the ships approaching in the distance, they immediately went on alert. However, when they saw the white flag waving on the boat, the Kuomintang garrison boss on the shore gave a warm welcome and said with a flag: "This is a friendly army, we should take it." ”
Surrounded by the Kuomintang, the three Wu brothers stepped off the landing craft, enjoying the preferential treatment given by the Kuomintang and fantasizing about the luxurious life after arriving in Taiwan. However, the F131 landing craft accident was the first homicide on a ship since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
In particular, the three Wu brothers who defected, by virtue of their work experience and process in the border troops, knew our army's equipment and garrison situation well.
If it is discovered by the Kuomintang and foreign forces, it will cause irreversible damage to our army and even endanger the lives and safety of our people. Therefore, Pi Dingjun, deputy commander of the Fuzhou Military Region, immediately reported to ***, and after receiving instructions, he quickly made arrangements, set up a tight protective net, and resolutely carried out the task of killing and defending the country.
Soon after the three Wu brothers defected to the Kuomintang, they felt that they could not turn back, and they were also worried about being arrested by our army. Therefore, they anxiously begged the Kuomintang: "Please help us arrange to go to the Taiwan region as soon as possible, we don't want to stay on the mainland for a minute." ”
Naturally, the Kuomintang would not miss the opportunity to learn the details of our army, so it decided to send a special plane to Matsu Port on the afternoon of the 9th to pick up the three Wu brothers.
Under close surveillance, the abacus of our army completely failed. Faced with the task of shooting down the plane of the three Wu brothers, our soldiers were full of righteous indignation and determined to avenge the dead brothers.
Pi Dingjun, deputy commander of the Fuzhou Military Region, was well aware of the feelings of the soldiers, but he understood that this task was not simple. First of all, the port of Matsu is very close to Taiwan Province, the flight time will not be too long, if it cannot be shot down in the air, once it reaches the Kuomintang troops, the previous efforts will be in vain.
The Kuomintang is very cunning and will definitely send a number of planes to respond, including not only the responding planes, but also the planes and other fighters that confuse the enemy to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
In order to ensure the successful killing of the three Wu brothers, Pi Dingjun chose Zeng Youjie as the commander-in-chief. Zeng Youjie is calm and experienced. In addition, Pi Dingjun also specially dispatched the J-5, the main combat force of the PLA Air Force.
The J-5 is a high-subsonic fighter modeled after Soviet fighters, with powerful firepower and fast flight speed, and the improved J-6 can assist in combat, greatly improving the mission completion rate.
Not to be outdone, the Kuomintang dispatched F-100 fighter jets, which were once the main supersonic fighters of the US military, which can not only fly in bad weather, but also land at sea.
In addition, they used Hu-16 seaplanes with a capacity of up to 22 people, which were specially designed to pick up the Fifty-Three Brothers and other Kuomintang personnel. Not only is the aircraft capable of flying at low altitudes, but it is almost impossible for radar to detect its tracks.
Zeng Youjie saw through the Kuomintang's tricks at a glance, he knew the types of fighters and understood the characteristics of the Hu-16 fighters. By simply changing the angle of the radar antenna, it can be spotted throughout the sea area.
At noon on January 9, a plane took off from the port of Matsu with an arrogant attitude and a long circle, which did not match the intelligence. Zeng Youjie immediately judged that the plane was a plane pretended to be taken over by the Kuomintang to receive the three Wu brothers, and decisively decided to ignore it.
The Kuomintang thought their plan was foolproof, but soon after, other planes began to take off from the port of Matsu. After Zeng Youjie learned the news, he made up his mind and immediately dispatched two J-6s and two J-5s, one of which was the pilot Li Chunguang, who flew the J-5, to complete the shooting mission.
At this time, two J-6 and one J-5 used their firepower to attract the Kuomintang F-100 fighters and lure them away, leaving only the Hu-16 fighters with their feet exposed, and they were left in a predicament alone, and were hit by the wings of our army's roundabout tactics and had to make a forced landing.
Li Chunguang piloted the J-5, and with his superb flying skills, he successfully evaded the sight of the Kuomintang and launched a life-and-death duel with the Hu-16 fighter carrying the three Wu brothers.
Risking his life, he delivered a fatal blow to the enemy plane, which eventually crashed into the deep sea. Looking at the huge ripples on the sea, Li Chunguang took a deep breath and said, "Brothers, we have avenged you, and you can rest in peace." ”
This victory, undoubtedly the price they paid for their treason and seven lives, left them with endless remorse.
**Received the good news from the Fuzhou Military Region, and the hanging heart finally landed. He commended the pilots who participated in the mission, especially awarded Li Chunguang the Meritorious Service Medal of the First Class.
Then, on the morning of January 10, 1966, the front page of "People's **" published a news that China's air force shot down a US-Chiang aircraft in the Matsu waters, and all the personnel on board, including three traitors surnamed Wu, died.
The people of the whole country are well aware of the crimes of the three Wu brothers, have a deeper understanding of the strength of the country's air force and border defense forces, and have strengthened their trust in the leadership of the Communist Party of China.
In order to welcome the arrival of the three Wu brothers, Chiang Kai-shek also specially invited ** and people from all walks of life to wait at the airport, and the scene was very spectacular. However, behind this move, he tried to use the influence of ** to spread rumors about the Communist Party of China, so as to blind the eyes of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
