Where there are good years, just someone to carry the weight for us. Today's China can have such a prosperous and prosperous world, which is inseparable from the struggle and sacrifice of countless revolutionary martyrs. The moment they set foot on the battlefield, the end of "sacrifice" seemed to have been predestined. In their view, the hero's best destination seems to be "sacrifice".
During the arduous 14-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, revolutionary martyrs stepped forward and went to the soup, and many sacrificed themselves in their youth.
Among them, there are 1,700 Air Force officers, whose average age is only 23 years old, who have been bloodied in the battle with Japanese aircraft. They all come from the same school, the Katsubashi Central Aviation School.
The former site of the Central Aviation School of Jianqiao
In 1928, the Kasabashi Central Aviation School was established, and the school motto was established at the entrance of the school: Our bodies, planes and bombs will be destroyed with the enemy's warship positions.
After graduating from the aviation school, the trainees embarked on the front line of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and fought fiercely with the determination to die, and 90% of the students were sacrificed.
Among these students, there was a pilot named Lin Heng, who was martyred in the Chengdu air battle at the age of 23, which was a good year.
The bad news spread to Kunming, Yunnan, a woman could not help crying, she dragged the sick body, wrote a poem "Crying Three Brothers Heng", which wrote: It is the demand of the times to you, simple, you give... Since I fully understand, why am I still crying for you? Just because you're a kid and you don't have anything left for yourself...
Finally, she thought of countless Chinese sons and daughters like Lin Heng who were not afraid of sacrifice and sacrificed their lives for the country, and she thought of those insensitive and acting as spectators, and she couldn't help but issue soul torture:
And the portraits of thousands of people have forgotten, for whom you died!
You are willing to die for your countrymen, but the people do not know who you are dying for.
Lin Huiyin and his younger brother Lin Heng
Lin Huiyin and Lin Heng's sister-brother relationship
The person who wrote this poem was Lin Huiyin, a famous talented woman in the Republic of China, and Lin Heng, who died on the front line, was her half-brother.
Lin Huiyin's family environment is very complicated, her mother He Xueyuan is the second wife of her father Lin Changmin, and her original match cannot have children because of mental problems, so Lin Huiyin is the eldest daughter of the Lin family. Later, Lin Changmin married the third wife, Chen Guilin, and gave birth to four sons, Lin Heng was the third oldest.
Although He Xueyuan was not favored by Lin Changmin, Lin Huiyin received the attention of her father and paid special attention to her education. In 1920, Lin Juemin traveled to Europe, and no other children were brought, except for the 16-year-old Lin Huiyin. The purpose of his doing this is to let Lin Huiyin have a long and insightful understanding, but also to get rid of the trivialities at home and cultivate independent insights and abilities.
Although Lin Huiyin and Lin Heng are half-siblings, the relationship between the two brothers and sisters is very good, and Lin Heng also takes his sister as an example and learns from his sister everywhere. In 1925, Lin Changmin was assassinated against the direct warlord Cao Kun, and the Lin family lost the head of the family overnight. Fortunately, Lin Huiyin returned from Japan in time and married Liang Sicheng, so he barely supported the Lin family to breathe.
During that time, Lin Heng lived with Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng and received careful care from his sister and brother-in-law.
Lin Heng did not live up to his sister's expectations, in 1935, he was admitted to Tsinghua University, and a good future was in front of him. However, in the same year, the "12.9" movement broke out.
Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng
Admitted to the Central Aviation School, the sister and brother separated
On December 9, 1935, thousands of students from Peking University and High School took to the streets to hold anti-Japanese demonstrations against the autonomy of North China. As a progressive youth, Lin Heng was indignant, shouted the slogan of "Down with Japanese imperialism", and walked at the forefront of the ranks. The student movement quickly drew the displeasure of the Kuomintang's Peking government, with many students arrested and imprisoned, and Lin Heng missing.
Lin Heng is Lin Huiyin's most beloved brother, and seeing that he has not returned for a long time, he is anxious and hurriedly lets her husband Liang Sicheng go out to look for him, but Liang Sicheng runs all the hospitals in Beiping to treat injured students, but still finds nothing. It was not until the middle of the night that Liang Sicheng found Lin Heng in a remote alley in Xicheng, and he was distraught and hurriedly took him home. At this time, although Lin Heng was tired, but his eyes were shining brightly, he had made up his mind that at the time of the survival of the country, the eldest husband should throw his pen and sacrifice himself to serve the country.
In 1937, the "Lugou Bridge Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries broke out, Lin Heng witnessed the fall of Beiping and the displacement of the people, and resolutely decided to drop out of Tsinghua University and plunge into the torrent of revolution.
In the same year, he was successfully admitted to the Central Aviation School and became the tenth batch of students.
On the day of enrollment, Lin Heng looked at the school gate."
Greedy for fear of death does not come in
A few big words, surging in his heart, this is the ideal place he pursues, Ma Ge wrapped the body, even if he will eventually die, all this is worth it.
When Lin Heng was assiduously honing his flying skills at the Central Aviation School, the eldest sister Lin Huiyin had no choice but to embark on a journey away from home. When the War of Resistance was tight, her son Liang Congjie once asked, "What should I do if the Japanese army comes?" Lin Huiyin replied:
Chinese readers always have the last road, isn't the door the Yangtze River?
”
In November 1937, Lin Huiyin, who was almost killed in the bombing of Changsha, fled west to Kunming because his family traveled west along the west of Xiangxi and Guizhou. Due to the rough road and no car to ride, Lin Hui suffered from severe pneumonia and had a high fever of 40 degrees and was dying. When they walked to Huang County (present-day Xinhuang Autonomous County, Hunan), in order to stay, Liang Sicheng held his children and visited the hotel one by one on a rainy night, but he never found a suitable place to stay.
Just when the Liang family was desperate, a group of young people dressed in Air Force cadet uniforms helped them a lot, freed up a room in the inn, and enthusiastically helped Lin Huiyin upstairs. After the conversation, it was learned that these young people were all students of the Central Aviation School, evacuated from Hangzhou to Kunming, and were blocked in Huang County.
Students of the Central Aviation School
Seeing this group of energetic students, Lin Huiyin couldn't help but think of his younger brother Lin Heng, who had just entered the school, and standing in front of her were All Lin Heng's seniors, who would step onto the battlefield in the near future and fight the enemy for life and death. During this brief encounter, the Liang family formed a deep friendship with the students. After arriving in Kunming, the Liang family became a place for the trainees to gather and talk freely, and Lin Hui listened to them talk about the past of joining the army and told them about his grievances and pain.
Lin Huiyin once said:
There was a very naïve childishness in them, and a great love arose among us, like a family
。 ”
Regrettably, the 8 Air Force cadets who often gathered at the Liang family all died on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for the country.
As the "honorary parent" of the students, Lin Huiyin often receives clothes sent, and every time his heart is "blown into a hole".
Lin Heng
Defend Chengdu, blood stained the sky
In 1940, Lin Heng ushered in the graduation examination, and he ranked second among all 125 classmates and successfully graduated. As a pilot trained by China, Lin Heng was entrusted with the important task of entering the Fifth Flying Brigade of the Kuomintang Air Force, stationed at Shuangliu Airport in Chengdu, ready to fight a bloody battle with the invading Japanese army.
Lin Heng and his comrades-in-arms were about to meet the Japanese army armed to the teeth. According to statistics, by 1940, Japan had more than a thousand aircraft available to invade China, but the Chinese Air Force had only 65, with vastly different combat capabilities. Faced with such a huge disparity in strength, the Chinese pilots did not flinch in the slightest, and used their flesh and blood to resist the aggression of the Japanese army.
In the fierce battle, the average time for Chinese pilots from graduation from aviation school to death was only 6 months.
Sino-Japanese air battle in Chengdu
On March 14, 1941, in order to force the Nationalist government in Chongqing to surrender, the Japanese army dispatched several heavy heavy bombers to attack Chengdu. It was followed by a Japanese squadron of Zero fighters whose purpose was to lure Chinese fighters into the air and launch a decisive battle.
Watching the Japanese army bombIng Chengdu wantonly, Lin Heng was furious and flew a fighter plane into the air with his comrades-in-arms to meet the battle, and the result was exactly in the arms of the Japanese army. The fighter jet piloted by Lin Heng is an I-153 fighter imported from the Soviet Union, which needs to hover upwards when taking off, and its performance is far behind that of the Zero fighter.
Despite the unfavorable situation, Lin Heng piloted the fighter to engage in a fierce battle with the enemy aircraft and successfully shot down an enemy aircraft. However, before he could get excited about shooting down an enemy plane for the first time in his career, he fell into the siege of enemy aircraft.
During the battle, Lin Heng was shot in the head, and the plane lost control and crashed into the ground, sacrificing at the age of 23.
Lin Huiyin is ill
Lin Huiyin tortured the chinese people: Heroes should not be forgotten
Liang Sicheng was the first to learn of Lin Heng's sacrifice. In order not to let Lin Hui be overly sad, he temporarily concealed the news of Lin Heng's death, took the opportunity of a business trip to Chongqing, and went to Chengdu to collect Lin Heng's body. When he found Lin Heng in an unnamed cemetery, Lin Heng was already unrecognizable and could hardly recognize him. He was accompanied only by a military dress and a "Zhongzheng Sword" issued by the troops.
It was not until Liang Sicheng returned to Kunming and showed his wife a fragment of Lin Heng's plane that Lin Huiyin learned that his brother had died, cried bitterly on the spot, and passed out.
After waking up, Lin Huiyin was still immersed in grief and could not extricate himself, and wrote "Crying Three Brothers Heng", which read as follows:
"Crying Three Brothers Heng"
Lin Huiyin was crying not only about her brother's death, but also about the eight air force pilots who regarded her as her sister and sacrificed their lives for the country. They know exactly why they died, but in that turbulent and turbulent era, who really hurts for them? In the last paragraph, Lin Huiyin couldn't help but issue a soul torture question:
Later, with the establishment of the "Flying Tigers", the Chinese Air Force gradually regained the air supremacy in the southwest region, and the members of the "Flying Tigers" were widely praised and became national heroes. And the old pilots, including Lin Heng, were almost all martyred and forgotten by people. People seem to remember only heroes and actively forget those "losers". So Lin Huiyin's son Liang Congjie said: "Maybe our family is the only one who commemorates them." ”
Fortunately, the era of insensitivity of thousands of Chinese people has passed, and people today know that the former revolutionary martyrs and today's PLA fighters are the stars that should be chased the most. Without them, we cannot stand on our own feet among the nations of the world, and with them, we can go further!
