"Report to the command center! Failed to drop the bomb and request to fire again!"
Yang Guoxiang's hurried voice, accompanied by radio streams, echoed in the huge control center.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of each staff member.
Song Zhanyuan, the commander-in-chief of the scene, looked calm and calmly gave the next step:
"Approve another launch!"
The staff breathed a sigh of relief.
In an orderly manner, an order was given to Yang Guoxiang to launch again.
Song Zhanyuan walked quickly towards the communication station, but as soon as his feet took a step, the radio sounded again.
"The ...... of the failed second bomb drop"
Song Zhanyuan's feet stepped out and stepped into the air.
The whole person lost his balance and was about to fall to the ground.
The staff next to him was quick and grabbed him, so he didn't fall.
Taking a deep breath, Song Zhanyuan noticed that all the eyes in the base were focused on him.
He didn't say anything, just quickly shook the red phone.
After a short wait, the call was answered.
"Prime Minister, the hydrogen bomb failed to ......"
The sword is unsheathed
The history of mankind was changed by war, and war was changed by the advent of thermal weapons.
But if there is one thing that can change both humanity and war.
It had to be a nuclear weapon.
Since the advent of nuclear weapons, the situation of human warfare and even the history of mankind has been completely changed.
Never before has there ever been a weapon of such power and impact.
Therefore, if our new China wants to gain a foothold in a world where nuclear weapons exist, it must have its own nuclear weapons.
From the earliest reliance on the big brother of the Soviet Union, to the later independent research and development.
The Chinese have worked hard to successfully develop their own nuclear and hydrogen bombs amid the doubts and ridicule of the world.
But it's not enough to just develop it.
Not only do we have a sword in our hands, but we also have to learn how to use a sword, and how to use this sword to become the number one swordsman in the world.
The number one swordsman in the world, it is difficult to say who will kill innocents indiscriminately.
But if someone other than you becomes the number one swordsman in the world, then your name will probably appear in the list of those killed.
Therefore, in order to make the hydrogen bomb in his hand play its due effect.
How to quickly form combat effectiveness has always been an urgent issue for the country.
The hydrogen bomb is different from the ordinary atomic bomb.
Its power cannot be described in words, and the two are not of the same magnitude at all.
The world's first hydrogen bomb was developed by the United States in response to the Soviet Union's atomic bomb.
At that time, the United States detonated it on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, and it was 500 times more powerful than the atomic bomb of Hiroshima.
However, due to its weight of up to 65 tonnes and the need for a more cumbersome refrigeration system, it was not possible to transport it.
Since then, countries around the world have also launched research on the hydrogen bomb.
In 1954, the United States successfully developed the world's first practical hydrogen bomb.
By 1967, the mainland had also successfully used an air-dropped hydrogen bomb with an explosive yield of 3.3 million tons.
Today, China's international status is increasing day by day.
But more than 50 years ago, the United Nations was even reluctant to recognize the international status of the new China.
In that difficult era, if New China wants to win the right to speak, whether the hydrogen bomb can be used in actual combat is an indispensable trump card to gain the right to speak.
The experiment of the hydrogen bomb has a bearing on the country's highest strategic development.
As for the pilots who served as throwing missions, they were also carefully selected among thousands of aces in air combat.
In the 1971 hydrogen bomb test, Yang Guoxiang served as the pilot and bombardier.
Yi Xiong
Yang Guoxiang was born in a small mountain village of the Yi nationality in Yuxi, Yunnan.
He was the earliest pilot after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
In 1956, in the all-army competition, Yang Guoxiang overwhelmed the crowd and won three first places successively.
In the end, it even won the crown of the first air force in the country, which is a veritable ace in air combat.
It is because of his solid flying skills.
Therefore, the party and the state handed over the task of throwing the first practical hydrogen bomb to Yang Guoxiang.
You must know that even in the developed countries of Europe and the United States, where the air force technology is more mature, it is impossible to pick out a few suitable pilots to carry out this task.
After all, this is a hydrogen bomb.
A weapon of destruction 10,000 times more terrifying than the atomic bomb, if you are not careful, you will be destroyed and killed.
If the bomb drop point is missed, countless lives will be lost, and the pilot will need to endure unimaginable psychological pressure.
Because of this, when Yang Guoxiang learned that he would drop the hydrogen bomb by himself, he made up his mind to complete the glorious mission entrusted to him by the organization.
Every day, he would Xi practice bomb throwing operations desperately.
Over the course of a day,
This is not only extremely physically exhausting, but also puts a lot of pressure on their psyche.
Finally, the day of the bomb was dropped, and the Central Military Commission issued an order to drop the hydrogen bomb.
Under his command, Yang Guoqiang carried the hydrogen bomb and drove the plane to the designated drop site.
The weather was good on the way and everything was going in a good direction.
But after a while, he didn't hear anything but the terrible wind outside the window.
Something happened.
There seemed to be a problem with the launch button, and after Yang Guoxiang reported, the base also panicked, and started the emergency launch again, but the missile still did not respond.
The commander-in-chief of the base did not dare to be careless, and immediately contacted Premier Zhou by confidential telephone.
After a general report on the situation, Premier Zhou handed over the decision to them.
This is the most sensible choice, and the situation on the ground can change quickly.
And Premier Zhou is thousands of miles away, and he can't make the wisest judgment if he doesn't know the situation.
In fact, in the face of this situation, the higher authorities have formulated two sets of plans:
- Let the pilot parachute and let the plane and missiles fall, this is to reduce the damage and protect the pilot's life.
- The missile is locked, the plane returns, and the missile is unloaded after returning to the base to verify the cause.
And Yang Guoxiang finally chose the second option.
He didn't want to waste this precious hydrogen bomb, and he didn't want his warhawk to crash.
At great risk, Yang Guoxiang successfully brought the plane and missiles back to the base and landed successfully.
After the missile was overhauled, it was found that it was because a screw was twisted too much, which caused the area to be poorly energized and could not be launched.
And Yang Guoxiang was also awarded a first-class merit because of this feat.
