Among the three major arms of the navy, land and air, the Marine Corps is the most common, and the Air Force is the latest of the three modern services, which is also because the aircraft only began to appear in 1903, and the Wright brothers of the United States created the first "Flyer".
In 1909, the U.S. Army was equipped with the first military aircraft, in 1911, in the First World War, Italy and Turkey, the use of aircraft for assistance, the mobility and destructiveness of the aircraft was recognized, as for our air force was rapidly developed after 1949, as for why it can develop so quickly, the answer lies in a Japanese.
This person is Hayashi Yaichiro, born in 1911 in Osaka, Japan, in a disgraced samurai family, his father was very strict with him from an early age, at the age of 15 he was admitted to the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School with excellent results, he followed the concept of a Japanese soldier, died for war, born for war.
On September 18, 1931, after the outbreak of the war of aggression, the news reached Japan, Hayashi Yaichiro could not sleep with excitement, he was eager to embark on the journey, and in 1932 he finally waited for this opportunity, he was conscripted into the army and incorporated into the second class of aviation.
From 1932 to 1935, Hayashi Yaichiro experienced more than three years of hard training, and because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to captain of the air force and second lieutenant of the army, and in 1942, Hayashi Received orders to lead the 54th team into the Chinese battlefield, and he fought a fierce battle with Chennault, the captain of the American Flying Tigers, in Guilin.
Hayashi Yaichiro acted cautiously, participated in many bombing missions, in the Chinese battlefield, the air force that made "battle merits" was basically Hayashi Yaichiro's 54th team, and it was precisely because of his outstanding performance that Hayashi Yaichiro was promoted to Shōsa, which is a rare presence in Japan, which shows that Hayashi Yaichiro has "distinguished himself in battle".
In 1945, after Japan announced its unconditional surrender, Hayashi Yaichiro also led the 2nd Air Corps of the Kwantung Army to secretly abscond, and it was Liu Guangtao who captured them, but Hayashi Yaichiro knew that he had committed a serious crime, and surrendering would certainly not end well, and decided not to surrender.
Liu Guangtao reported this situation to Zeng Kelin and Tang Kai, and Zeng Kelin immediately sent a five-member negotiation team headed by Nie Zunshan to negotiate, and in the course of the negotiations, Lin Miyilang constantly tested Nie Zunshan's military rank and official position, and Nie Zunshan said: I am a political commissar, and my official position is not big, but Chinese will do what I say.
In the negotiations, Hayashi Yaichiro finally accepted the surrender, when collecting weapons, he did not want to hand over the saber, Nie Zunshan said at a glance: Command knife you can keep, this is our concession to your sincerity, a simple sentence made Hayashi Miichiro feel the most basic respect, and when Liu Guangtao received Hayashi Yaichiro, he put forward an opinion to him: I hope that Hayashi Yaichiro can stay and help them train the air force.
Hayashi Yaichiro thought that he did not have the right to choose and agreed, but under the preferential treatment of our army, Hayashi Yaichiro was deeply moved, he actively participated in the construction of the air force, and trained a group of outstanding pilots, but after the outbreak of the Tonghua Incident, Hayashi Yaichiro and others were suspected.
However, the chief of staff, Wu Xiuquan, believed him and gave him the Browning pistol he was wearing, saying that if he was wrong, he would let him die under his own gun, and it turned out that Wu Xiuquan was right, and Hayashi Yaichiro was not only committed to the People's Air Force, but also made outstanding contributions to Sino-Japanese friendship in his later years.
