At midnight on January 8, 1966, a 50-ton F131 landing craft of the Fujian Coastal People's Liberation Army Shipping Transport Team carrying 10 people was loading supplies from Mawei in the evening xiapu before the tail of the horse, when the navigator Wu Wenwen and the marines Wu Zhenjia and Wu Chunfu suddenly opened fire, killing the captain and 7 comrades-in-arms, and fled to Matsu Island, where the Taiwan army was stationed.
After confirming that Wu Wenwen and the other three people had hijacked a boat to surrender, the Taiwan military side was ecstatic, changed their haircuts, took pictures of them, and requested that a plane be sent to pick them up to Taiwan.
Shooting and killing comrades and defecting is the first time since the establishment of the People's Navy that such a bad incident has occurred. It's intolerable! After being submitted to the Central Military Commission for approval, the Fujian Military Region formulated a combat order: Be sure to annihilate the 3 traitors before they reach Taiwan!
Since it was accurate that the Taiwan military side was sending 3 traitors to Taiwan by plane, a pair of J-6 twin planes and a pair of J-5 twin planes of the People's Liberation Army were fully equipped and ready, and as long as the traitors fled by plane, the fighter planes immediately went out to intercept and kill them.
Just after our army was ready to counterattack, there was some confusion on Matsu Island.
At 8:30 a.m. on January 9, the Taiwan military first sent a C47 transport plane to pick up people, but the landing gear broke during landing and could no longer be used, so it sent a PBY amphibious aircraft. But the PBY plane can only carry 8 people, and many people do not agree to use this plane, because they cannot accompany them back, and the credit will fall on others. In desperation, a third plane was sent. At 12:11 p.m., a large amphibious aircraft, the HU16 albatross, flew to Matsu.
Although three enemy planes came to Matsu To pick up people, the PLA quickly concluded that the Taiwan military would use the HU16 aircraft to send traitors back to Taiwan because of its large tonnage, amphibious water, altitude of flight, and high safety factor.
In order to confuse the People's Liberation Army, at 13:00, the Taiwan military PBY plane took off first and returned to Taiwan. This plane was monitored by our army's radar as soon as it flew together, and it flew very high and flaunted a little too much, so our army ignored it.
In the next two hours, the Taiwan military issued telecommunications and pretended from time to time, and our army was not moved.
At 14:50, 17 people, including 3 traitors and some military and political personnel of the Taiwan authorities, boarded the HU16 plane, and at 15:30, our army's radar noticed that the plane in the direction of Matsu had moved. Five minutes later, the HU16 took off, and in order to avoid mainland radar tracking, the aircraft flew at ultra-low altitudes.
At 15:38, our army's radar locked on the HU16 aircraft at a speed of 200-300 kilometers per hour at a distance of 7,000 meters southeast of Mazu, heading for 120 degrees, pointing directly in the direction of Taipei.
With an order, the 4 fighters of the People's Liberation Army rushed out of the runway, and according to the predetermined plan, the J-5 twin aircraft attacked and flew to the sea at a low altitude; the J-6 twin aircraft served as cover and rose to the high altitude. When the J-5 flew out of the mouth of the Minjiang River, the enemy plane had already flown 30 or 40 kilometers, and there were still 100 kilometers away from Taiwan.
At this time, the height of the cloud bottom on the sea surface was only 400 meters, the waves were very large, and the HU16 aircraft flew at a height of only 300 meters, while the J-5 fighters of Li Chunguang and Hu Yingfa were actually pursuing the enemy at a high speed at a height of 200 meters.
At 15:51:15, Hu Yingfa of the wingman saw the target first, and he immediately reported: See! Li Chunguang of the long machine immediately said: You are on! Hu Yingfa immediately fired at a distance of more than 700 meters from the enemy plane, which was deflected, and then fired again at a distance of more than 400 meters, this time the enemy plane was wounded in the tail.
At this time, Li Chunguang's fighters also rushed over, and seeing Hu Yingfa rushing to the front of the enemy plane, Li Chunguang chased after him from behind, firing at a distance of 400 meters from the enemy plane, the first time did not hit, and the second time hit the left engine of the HU16.
The HU16 plane that was attacked had no weapons and could only call for help. When the enemy's two F100 fighters rushed to the rescue, they were bitten by the J-6 twin planes that our army served as a cover, and they could not get close to the HU16 special plane, and could only flee.
The damaged HU16 special plane is consciously or unconsciously slowing down, which is conducive to forced landing on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also to drag our fighter downgrade, so that when our aircraft fires, it is very likely to stall and crash.
Li Chunguang suddenly turned decisively to the right, pressed a slope, so that he could still see the enemy plane, and when he pulled to the side, he pulled the interval open, then turned back, and went to the rear of the enemy plane again, and grabbed it again. At this time, he could clearly see the emblem on the enemy plane, but his speed also dropped to 240 kilometers per hour, while the stall speed of the J-5 was 220 kilometers per hour! The slightest carelessness can cause a crash.
Just at the moment of this thousand gunshots, Li Chunguang pushed up the speed and aimed at the enemy plane to open fire, and after the HU16 was hit, it exploded and caught fire in an instant, and plunged into the sea, killing all 3 traitors and other personnel on board.
The task of intercepting and killing traitors was completed, and Li Chunguang and other combat heroes returned safely. From the beginning of the traitor interception of the boat, only 16 hours later, the heroic PLA combat heroes avenged the sacrifice of their comrades with a beautiful kill. The three traitors, Wu Wenwen, Wu Zhenjia, and Wu Chunfu, were forever nailed to the pillar of shame. As the saying goes, you can't live by your own sins!
Soon, the preparatory staff of the "10,000 people greeting the meeting" in Taipei received the news of the destruction of the plane and the death of the people, and the enemy not only had a happy scene, but also folded the plane and people in vain.
