People sacrifice collectively, no one survives, today's front page focuses on China's tragic events.
A story that touches the heart deeply. Don't miss out! 1,700 heroic souls, heroic deeds that have survived in their lives, today's front page is specially presented, remember, don't forget these heroic sacrifices!
Winston Churchill once said that in the conflicts of human history, countless people have a deep sense of gratitude to a few heroes. Today, August 15, marks the 77th anniversary of Japan's unconditional surrender.
Time flies, 77 years of spring and autumn, we will never forget the 1,700 young heroes who defended peace with their collective bodies!
With prominent backgrounds and elites, they are the bright stars of the new generation. Outstanding people from all over the world, such as the proud sons who have returned to China and the new students of Tsinghua University, each exudes unique charm and unlimited potential.
In their ranks, the light of Lin Huiyin's talented brother Lin Heng shines, carrying"The father of ordnance"Yu Dawei's expectations are more like the demeanor of Zhang Boling, a veteran of Nankai University.
The future is limitless, and they are the navigators of tomorrow.
They are the heroic pioneers who soared into the blue sky, and they originally held the glory that thousands of people dreamed of, but they did not hesitate to incarnate as warriors on the front line of resistance against Japan - China's first batch of fighter heroes!
In the 8-year war of resistance, 1,700 brave hearts soared into the sky! Who would have imagined that those teenagers who were once immature faces now only have cold epitaphs, and their heroic sacrifices, with an average age of 23 years old, interpret the unrepentant choice of youth and heroism.
Commemorating 77 years of passionate youth, that irrepressible sense of enthusiasm, and their devotion to the country"If you don't succeed, you will succeed"Beiyang Jun deeply admires this oath and must share this history with you today.
Please be sure to listen and reminisce about those eventful years together.
Cultivate daily persistence"Break out of the cocoon and be reborn"Belief.
In 1932, the clock of history pointed to 9In the fourth month after the 18 Incident, the three eastern provinces of Tohoku, which is as vast as five-thirds of Japan's territory, were trampled on, and a full-scale conflict was on the verge of breaking out.
At that time, the national ** resolutely gave birth to the cradle of China's first batch of blue sky elites in Jianqiao - * aviation school! The motto of this unique institution speaks to the heart: "Body, plane, and bomb, live and die with the enemy!" ”
This is the fearless cry of the Chinese nation to the aggressors at a time of national crisis, and there is no school in the world that can so clearly express its adherence to freedom and dignity.
In Hangzhou in 1933, the sky echoed with a heroic roar - that was the high ambition of the young people of the ** aviation school. With the determination to regain the lost land, they regard sacrifice as their own responsibility and work hard every day"Victory"Faith in the practice of flying and fighting.
It took four years of tempering just for that day's Lingyun feat. Their first flight was frozen on October 31, 1936, and at that moment, they were heroic symbols of soaring into the sky!
A historic moment arrived: as China's first fighter pilots prepared for a stunning public flight demonstration at Nanjing Airport, 200,000 enthusiastic spectators poured in to witness this milestone event!
In the bustling crowd, a lively little girl who is only six years old is Gao Zhihang's precious treasure - Gao Youliang. Her eyes followed her father's heroic posture closely, and she saw him piloting the leading fighter jet, flying in a chic formation above the blue sky of Nanjing, and every movement was full of power.
At that time, she may be ignorant, but in the years to come, she will understand that her father Gao Zhihang is like a bright comet that pierces the sky on the battlefield, lighting up the entire sky with heroic battles again and again!
As a child, Gao Youliang was curious about his father's profession, and the deepest memory is a secret they shared: whenever his father flew over the roof of the house, he would improvise an aerial stunt, the nose of the plane plummeted, instantly pulled up, let out a deep roar, and then gracefully lifted off again, the unique "woo" sound left a deep imprint on her heart.
Looking back on history, Gao Youliang is deeply proud that there was a group of heroes soaring over her hometown, not only her father Gao Zhihang, but also outstanding rising stars such as Liu Cuigang and Chen Huaimin.
These groups of pilots trained by Gao Zhihang amazed the Japanese intelligence officers, who spoke highly of the superb piloting skills of the Chinese Air Force and considered it a force to be reckoned with!
At one time, China's aviation industry relied heavily on the United States, and the Hawker III biplane fighters relied on by the Air Force lagged far behind Japan in terms of speed, with a measly inventory of just over 300 aircraft, and every shot down meant a loss.
By contrast, Japan has put a staggering number of warplanes into the battlefield, more than 2,000, and production continues to increase. This grim contrast of strength between friend and foe has brought a cruel choice to the young pilots: either face the survival of the country, or go all out!
Remembering the moment of history, every lift-off contains ambition - in July 1937, the beacon fire of Lugou Bridge was rekindled, and on August 13, the Japanese army invaded Shanghai and pointed at Hangzhou.
On the same day, the Fourth Destroyer Brigade, a heroic team stationed in Henan, was ordered to fly to Jianqiao. Before he could fully prepare, he was relentlessly attacked by the Japanese planes. At a time when fuel was short and the weather was dangerous, Captain Gao Zhihang led 27 fighters with a fearless attitude and resolutely faced the sky.
The debut of the Sino-Japanese air war kicked off, and Japan tried to inflict heavy damage on the Chinese Air Force, but in the fierce battle, Gao Zhihang bravely attacked and opened the record, and his precision strike made a historic breakthrough for Chinese pilots - the first Japanese fighter was shot down, which symbolized the tenacity and glory of the Chinese Air Force.
In the fierce battle over Jianqiao for 30 minutes, the Chinese Air Force wrote brilliant achievements with heroic achievements, shooting down 3 enemy planes and severely damaging 1, showing invincible combat effectiveness, but the cruelty of the war instantly cooled the flames of victory.
Since the Jianqiao air battle on August 14, those young figures who once soared in the blue sky have unfortunately begun to fall. On that day, the 25-year-old young hero Zhang Xihu died heroically in the duel with the Japanese invaders, and his bravery was forever engraved in the blue sky.
In the first twelve days of Zhang Xihu's heroic sacrifice, he conveyed to his father Zhang Boling with firm faith: "No cowardice on the battlefield is the embodiment of loyalty and filial piety!" After receiving the news of his son's martyrdom, Zhang Boling, who is the president of Nankai University, endured the pain of losing his son and said with relief: "I was originally born as a sailor, and I am old, and I often regret that I could not go to the battlefield to serve the country.
Now, my son has promised the country with his body, and I have no regrets. ”
On August 17th, just three days later, we will witness a flying hero from the Northeast - 21-year-old Yan Haiwen, who wrote a glorious chapter in the history of the aviation school with a perfect score in the history of the aviation school.
However, after the mission, his plane was unfortunately hit by enemy anti-aircraft guns, and he had to parachute in an emergency parachute in the sudden change in wind direction, and regrettably, fate led him to the Japanese position.
In the face of the relentless encirclement of the Japanese enemy, he was unyielding, resolutely launched a counterattack with the guns in his hands, bravely killed 5 Japanese soldiers, and many were wounded, he shouted: "Chinese Air Force, surrender fearlessly!" ”
With the last bullet decisive, the 21-year-old life fell, leaving behind the ambitious oath of "China's air force without capture". Just two days later, 25-year-old Shen Chongzhi followed suit and chose the same heroic path as his comrades-in-arms, martyrdom, and their heroic deeds are remembered in his heart.
On August 19, Shen Chongzhi encountered difficulties in his mission, facing an incoming enemy ship and a malfunctioning warplane, and he was faced with a difficult choice: either turn back to the base or risk his life.
But he chose fearless bravery, refused to avoid danger, and resolutely piloted a fighter plane that galloped two thousand meters to pledge his country, sinking into the sea with the enemy ship, and that year, his young life was fixed in the magnificent years of 25 years old.
In the movie "Wuwen Xidong", the heroic image created by Wang Leehom is inspired by the real character Shen Chongzhi, and his legend comes from his great pioneer, the son of the legal scholar Shen Jiayi.
The 25-year-old Tsinghua genius, with his ardent patriotic feelings, regarded himself as the last "cannonball" to defend the future of the country and the nation, and went to the heroic sacrifice with the enemy in the heroic voice.
In the short time at Tsinghua University, those youthful faces and those souls full of ideals have fallen in the blue sky one after another, which is regrettable. We can't help but wonder if they still remember the impassioned speech delivered by Zhang Xihu's father, Zhang Boling, as a parent, at the graduation ceremony?
He quoted Yue Fei's mother's unforgettable "loyalty to the country", and hoped that the students would deeply imprint these four words in their hearts. He stressed that if you fight to protect the honor of the country in the future, even if you face setbacks, you don't need to hesitate to go home!
These young people, who cherished the love of their parents, are now stranded and never returned, far away from their homeland ...... foreverOn November 21, 1937, their flight instructor Gao Zhihang faced a sudden threat of enemy aircraft at the airport, and he resolutely walked to the cockpit, ready to soar to meet the battle.
Although the fighter failed to start and his comrades-in-arms advised him to take shelter, he responded firmly: "As the guardian of China's blue sky, how can you allow enemy planes to wreak havoc overhead?" ”
At the moment when Gao Zhihang tried to start the engine for the third time, a ruthless bomb fell from the sky, and his blue sky dream was shattered, and he sank into the blazing fire of war together with fourteen fighters.
Despite the last moments of his life, his hands still firmly grasped the joystick, symbolizing his love and loyalty to flying. This world-renowned chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force, who is fluent in three Chinese languages and is internationally recognized as a treasure-level ace of the Chinese Air Force, bravely sacrificed his life for the country at the age of 30, and his heroic deeds will forever be recorded in history.
In the years of the war, the Chinese Air Force"Four fierce generals"- Liu Cuigang, Le Yiqin, Li Guidan and Gao Zhihang (from left to right, Gao Zhihang unfortunately died) fought side by side.
In just six months, the Chinese Air Force shot down 100 enemy planes with heroic achievements, but at the cost of the lives of the first generation of warriors, more than 100 pilots died heroically. Fearless of life and death, they face the challenge of death and choose to face the sky, because there is only a thin line between flying and falling—the decisive path to dance with the sky or turn it into an eternal land.
no.3 Love and Soaring: The Dream and Madness of YouthIf there is no baptism of war, those young people who are young, wise and charming should be immersed in the sweetness of romance and encounter!
For pilots, life and death are only on the line, and the advent of love is also unexpected, like lightning.
The talented Northeast genius Liu Cuigang, as the elite of the second phase of the expulsion section of the ** aviation school, his flying career shined brightly and became one of the "Four King Kongs" of the Air Force.
During his studies, a young heart planted the seeds of love in the 18-year-old Xu Xilin, his deep affection was like a carrier pigeon, and a love letter crossed the distance to Xu Xilin's home, writing a moving story of aviation cadets and love.
The first time I got to know the city station, I was fortunate to see your style, your delicate and demure, which made people yearn for it. In the hurried farewell of Jianqiao, your shadow is as mysterious as a lady, and the unique charm makes me deeply remembered.
Your beautiful figure is engraved in the depths of my soul like a brand, and it cannot be erased, I only hope that the affectionate gaze can travel through time and space to find your traces. That fiery love is as bold and direct as the pilot Liu Cuigang piloting a fighter plane, and he even flew low over my house to make you smile with his superb stunt performance!
Xu Xilin, who was eighteen years old at the time, was surrounded by many suitors, but her heart fell on Liu Cuigang, who shouldered the fate of the country, that was a heroic pilot who soared into the blue sky and was ready to sacrifice his life for the country, and was hailed"Zhao Zilong in the air"。
Faced with his father's worries about the risks of the flying profession, Xu Xilin smiled with perseverance, and gently carved eight words on the table with chopsticks dipped in wine:"Life and death are determined, and blessings are predestined. "
Under the romantic sky of 1936, 21-year-old Xu Xilin and Liu Cuigang got married. Since then, she has been silently guarding on the balcony, and he has soared into the blue sky to fight the enemy.
In a thrilling air battle, Liu Cuigang counterattacked with his superb skills, and when he returned triumphantly, he asked his wife affectionately:"What did they say? "Xu Xilin responded, his eyes firm:"No, I know everything.
You are fighting in the sky, if I am sheltered in the bomb shelter, it will be the greatest mockery of fate for our love, I choose to be with you under the sky at every moment. "
In the years of war, an affectionate love story ended in tragedy, which makes people sigh. In October 1937, Liu Cuigang with his dedication to love, unfortunately due to navigation errors and night troubles during the mission, his fighter plane crashed in the Kuixing Tower in Gaoping, Shanxi, and died heroically, he was only 24 years old that year, and his youthful life was frozen in the interweaving of love and war.
Liu Cuigang's words to his beloved wife two weeks before his death: If I fulfill my mission with my life, it is my duty. Dear Lin, stay wise and don't die for me.
The joys of the past have turned into painful memories. In her last letter to her husband, Xu Xilin expressed this: "Gang, your sacrifice interprets the highest honor of a soldier and accomplishes your mission.
However, I faced a long time and did not know how to spend it. Now, although you have done your best, I will carry on your legacy, starting with basic education, and use your perseverance and perseverance to ignite the enthusiasm of future young people and continue your spiritual legacy. ”
In 1937, Kunming rose a bright star in education - Cuigang Primary School, which was born from Xu Xilin's affectionate care for the descendants of the Air Force. She poured all her heart into the growth of every Air Force child with selfless love and wisdom.
Lost her husband"Heroes of air combat"As a widow, Xu Xilin chose education as her life's mission, and her tenacity and dedication are like a monument. At the same time, pilot Chen Huaimin's sister Chen Nan moved the world with a letter that crossed borders and gathered great love.
On April 29, 1938, Chen Huaimin's heroic feat of shooting down an enemy plane in just five minutes was not only a powerful counterattack to the aggressor, but also a vivid interpretation of great love and courage.
Renowned photographer Robert Capa freezes the moment of war, in which Chen Huaimin, a hero on the streets of Wuhan, is the focus of a fierce aerial battle, and he suffers a fatal blow to the chest in the face of the indiscriminate bombardment of five enemy planes.
"Eastern Battlefield" interprets Chen Huaimin's fearless spirit with a majestic plot! He could have escaped, but he resolutely chose to follow Deng Shichang's heroic path. Chen Huaimin in the play, in severe pain, controlled the plane, firmly flattened the fuselage, increased the horsepower, and flipped over with a thrilling 180 degrees, promising the country with his body, and launched a decisive blow to the enemy aircraft!
"Eastern Battlefield" reveals Chen Huaimin's heroic deeds in a shocking way! The pilots of the enemy planes never dreamed that the Chinese pilots would display such a noble spirit of sacrifice.
The two fighter planes collided in the sky in an instant, the flames soared into the sky, and the smoke billowed out, and the picture was frozen in the short and glorious life chapter of 22-year-old Chen Huaimin.
Chen Huaimin fulfilled his mission with heroic deeds, and died together with the enemy pilot Takahashi, which was not a vent of personal grievances, but a resolute resistance to aggression on behalf of the forces of justice.
His sacrifice broke the liver and intestines of his relatives, and his sister Chen Nan was deeply saddened and indignant, and she wrote a letter to Mieko, the widow of the Japanese army, revealing her yearning for a peaceful life and condemning the invaders.
At the age of a young girl, Chen wrote words full of affection and tenacity, revealing the endless sorrow and promise behind the war. This love letter that transcends borders and hatred, like a bolt of lightning, lit up the skies during World War II, moving and inspiring the world.
It proves that true love and faith are powerful enough to penetrate the haze of war and resonate with the world.
On September 13, 1940, a group of unprecedented new Japanese aircraft appeared in the sky above Bishan, Chongqing, like explorers of life, facing the challenges of life and death, and revealing the turning point of the country's destiny with a fearless attitude.
The air battle was a tragic battle of annihilation, in which the Chinese Air Force suffered heavy losses, 13 fighters died heroically, 11 were wounded, and 10 brave pilots sacrificed their precious lives.
In the face of the world's top enemy aircraft, our Chinese Air Force seems to be powerless. As the soul of the brigade, Captain Zheng Shaoyu, he even passionately advocated fighting for his life and fighting a duel with the Japanese army.
In the skies over Chengdu, a seemingly crazy decision was born - a Chinese fighter plane desperately rushed into the Japanese fleet and challenged the limit with a provocative attitude. At that moment, courage and determination transcended the disparity in strength.
Japan was stunned, who gave him such fearlessness? The small but tenacious black shadow seems to have the belief to shake the sky! Knowing that the enemy planes were far superior in strength and that the choice of life and death was imminent, they still resolutely soared, even though the names of heroes had become dusty memories.
But it was this short but firm moment that demonstrated the indestructible will of the Chinese nation to resist the war! In 1941, China was tightly sealed by Japan's coastal defense, but the "Hump Road" over the Himalayas became a key lifeline for transporting strategic materials, and the determination and courage of the Chinese shone in this blue sky.
Shocking facts revealed,"Aluminum Valley"It has become a tragic stage for more than 500 aircraft, and the young pilot navigates life and death with the glimmer of the crash wreckage!
In the spring of 1942, the heroic Zheng Shaoyu led the Chinese Air Force to fly to India to get American rescue planes, but he was there"Death Route"sacrificed heroically, and his youth was frozen in the highlight moment of 31 years old.
Under the wheel of history, war is merciless and sacrifice is endless. On March 14, 1941, Lin Huiyin's third brother Lin Heng, in order to protect his family and defend the country, bravely sacrificed his life in the Chengdu air battle, and his life at the age of 23 bloomed a short and bright hero.
He once resolutely gave up his academic career and devoted himself to aviation, just to protect the blue sky of the motherland.
In the face of Lin Heng (left)'s departure, Lin Huiyin's (right) tears are not simply due to the loss of relatives, but from the deep emotion of selfless dedication to a young life'You give everything you have for others, but you forget to leave something for yourself.
Her sorrow actually contains a deep reflection on endless dedication and self-sacrifice. "
At the end of 1943, the flying hero Zhou Zhikai, a talented pilot from Hebei, was born in a wealthy family, with the dream of a movie star, but he died heroically in a key low-altitude reconnaissance mission, and his youth was frozen in the glorious moment of 24 years old.
Despite his short combat career, he wrote a legend with outstanding achievements, setting an unprecedented record for the Chinese Air Force to shoot down an enemy plane in a single battle, and his name is like the brightest star in the anti-Japanese sky, forever illuminating the sky of war.
Pay tribute to the heroic and fearless hero Zhang Dafei, whose name symbolizes perseverance and courage. His father, with his selfless sacrifice, won the hope of life for the anti-Japanese comrades, but unfortunately suffered the atrocities of the Japanese army.
At a critical juncture in history, on May 18, 1945, in order to cover his comrades-in-arms, the young Zhang Dafei flew in the blue sky and the flames of war, although he soared through countless clear skies and battlefields intertwined with guns and cannons, he failed to witness the dawn of victory, and sacrificed his precious life for the victory of the country at the age of 26.
His heroic deeds will forever be recorded in the annals of history and inspire future generations.
On August 15, 1945, the dawn of peace shone on China and the whole country rejoiced, but under the haze of war, the families of the heroic air force martyrs lost their loved ones - husbands, siblings, fathers or sons.
Time flies, 77 years have passed, and these fearless souls between the sky and the earth are remembered, who soared with their lives and illuminated the path to the rebirth of the country with their sacrifices, and their memories will never be erased.
Interpret the mission with fearless determination, and if there is really a strategic ambition, it is to dedicate oneself to the motherland. Since the flames of the Anti-Japanese War were ignited, the first aviation school has gone through 16 graduation seasons, 1700 young talents soared into the blue sky, they used youth and blood to write the results, a total of more than 1200 Japanese fighters were shot down, and the average age of this group of brave people was less than 23 years old, they were the bright stars in the sky, and they practiced the oath of youth with practical actions.
The new generation of hot-blooded youth, they are like a blazing furnace, trying their best to repair the cracks in China, their shouts resounded through the heavens and the earth, like lightning bolts piercing the darkness, with a song of Top Gun, deeply touching every heart!
They are the pioneers who are not afraid of sacrifice, composing the national anthem with their unapologetic youth, and their heroic deeds finally turned into a moving melody in the clouds, echoing in the long river of history.
Originally"The years are quiet"Behind the unsung heroes are the silent dedication, they do not stop, but turn into eagles to soar in the sky of dreams. Their footprints reach the top of the clouds, and although they are far away from the world, they have set up an incomparably lofty monument in the hearts of people.
Commemorating history and paying tribute to heroes: On August 15, the 77th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the heroic deeds of those pioneers who bought peace at the cost of their youth are vividly remembered.
Today, let us relive that period of history, remember their greatness with deep sorrow, recite their names again, and recall their heroic images ......
To commemorate the hero Gao Zhihang on November 21, 1937, although his short life ended at the age of 30, his heroic and fearless spirit lives on!
In the smoke of war in 1937, the 24-year-old young hero Liu Cuigang died heroically on October 26, and his youth and blood will always be remembered in the pages of history.

In the hustle and bustle of the glory days, have we overlooked the definition of a true elite? Zhang Dafei, who died heroically on May 18, 1945, at the age of 26, his deeds arouse us to think deeply about what is a true pillar.
In the face of the impetuosity of the times, let us pay tribute to those young people who stand up and have great ambitions at the moment of crisis! Their heroic deeds are like eternal monuments, remembered in the long river of history, shining brightly.
