Among the Chinese pilots who participated in the "4.29" air battle, the most outstanding performance was Chen Huaimin.
Chen Huaimin, a native of Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, graduated from the Central Aviation School. After the death of the "Four Heavenly Kings", he was one of the only outstanding pilots left at that time.
Teenager Chen Huaimin studied at school during the day and learned martial arts with his father at night, and either did not shoot, and once he shot, he shocked the individual, and he had won the national junior martial arts competition consecutively. At this time, Chen Huaimin, if there is no time limit, is like Jet Li, a kung fu boy in the 1980s.
After the young Chen Huaimin was admitted to the Central Aviation School, in addition to his top academic performance, he was also the absolute main force of the school basketball team, a lover and leader of cycling. At this time, Chen Huaimin, if he did not set a distance, was almost the spokesman of the "big dunk".
In the bicycle years on campus, the flowers of youth bloom everywhere.
Chen Huaimin represented the basketball team of the Central Aviation School to play at Zhejiang University, where he met his love, but the good times were not long, and the sudden outbreak of war forced a pair of little lovers to be sadly separated.
Chen Huaimin was the backbone of the famous "Zhihang Brigade," that is, the backbone of the Four Brigades, who fought with the captain of the brigade, Gao Zhihang, in a bloody battle on the Songhu front, and the "August 14th" and "August 15th" played the mighty style of the Chinese Air Force. In the meantime, he also died nine times.
The most serious one, after the plane was injured and crashed into a tree, Chen Huaimin was knocked unconscious on the spot, and when he woke up, he found that his eyeballs were no longer in the eye sockets, and he quickly pressed the eyeballs hard with his hands.
After he returned from injury, the four brigades had moved to Wuhan, and the familiar eagle style had been replaced by "swallow", but the battle did not become easier, but became more severe and arduous.
In the "2.18" air battle, Chen Huaimin not only lost the new captain Li Guidan, but also lost the captain Lu Jichun, who was nicknamed "Night Cat", known for his good night raids, and was also a famous air combat hero. Chen Huaimin himself parachuted out of danger twice, which was equivalent to escaping from the god of death twice.
If he could not die, this flamboyant pilot certainly did not want to throw his life lightly, especially when he saw or thought of his lover.
The girl in love traveled thousands of miles alone, so that the two could meet each other for the last time in Wuhan, hugging and crying when they parted.
Late that night, young people carved words on paper: crazy, crazy, lovesickness...
Originally, on the day of the "4.29" air battle, Chen Huaimin was not in the class, but because a pilot just happened to be married, he asked Chen Huaimin whether he could top the shift, although he knew that the air battle was very dangerous, Chen Huaimin still did not hesitate to agree.
Just the night before the air battle, Chen Huaimin seemed to have a bad premonition, and he mentioned "death" in his diary - if that kind of thing really happened, you should not be sad, don't be sad, I died for the country, and I died worthwhile.
On 29 April, the Kisaratsu Air Force, anxious to bomb Wuhan, began to charge fiercely, and the battle was much more intense and brutal than when it was later ambushed by the Soviet Air Force.
Chen Huaimin's "swallow" was soon hit and caught fire, and he could have parachuted to escape, but he chose to crash straight into his opponent, and the two planes died together.
A youth diary, just opened, it is over.
I went to Nanjing, accompanied by a friend, to visit the Aviation Martyrs Cemetery.
Even nanjing natives know very little about that place, so although it is in the Purple Mountain Scenic Area, it is almost a deserted place.
The cemetery is lined with many crown tombs, and it seems that these departed flying heroes are still preparing to set off in a whole group.
We leaned down and looked for those familiar names, as if we were visiting the old teachers and friends: Gao Zhihang, Liu Pugang...
Finally saw him, Chen Huaimin, the sunshine teenager who chased the wind, the brave sunshine teenager, the sunshine teenager who always cherished youth and love.
Suddenly, a sad and beautiful tune sounded in my ears——
I have had two lives, one for birth and one for you.
I love the world because, I love you.
The name of this tune is called: Epitaph.
