At the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China in 1949, three echelons of aircraft flew over Tiananmen Square to show the world the style of the Chinese Air Force, and in a short period of time, the Chinese Air Force started from scratch and amazed the world. One of the echelon leaders is our protagonist today, the founding major general Fang Huai, who is over 100 years old. Born in Jiangxi, Fang Huai began to participate in the revolution at the age of 12, joined the Party at the age of 16, and participated in the Long March, the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the War of Liberation. In the dangerous war, there were two times when Fang Huai was in danger, which can be described as the rest of his life. The first time was during the Long March, when food was tight, there was often not enough to eat, and it was necessary to avoid the enemy's encirclement and interception, and often fought fierce battles with the enemy, and the soldiers were exhausted. Once Fang Huai and the soldiers hid in the roadside ditch to avoid the enemy bombing, tired and hungry, unconsciously fell asleep, after the bombardment of the enemy army again searched, the enemy army was only ten meters away from him, fortunately, thanks to the call of the soldiers next to him, he quickly withdrew and escaped a disaster.
Another time was during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, when our army first established an aviation team, Fang Huai was selected to go to Xinjiang to study, where he studied for 5 years, he became an excellent pilot, which was appreciated by the instructors. At this time, the Xinjiang warlords defected to Chiang Kai-shek, more than 140 Communists in the air force, including Fang Huai, were imprisoned, they fought heroically against the warlords, some revolutionary righteous soldiers were killed, and under the rescue of the organization, Fang Huai and others were released back to Yan'an, and he once again escaped the disaster.
After returning to Yan'an, he actively devoted himself to aerospace construction, overcame various difficulties to create an aviation school, accepted the military parade task of the founding of the country, and successfully completed the mission, after the founding of the country, Fang Huai held an important position in the Air Force, is one of the 55 founding major generals, even after retirement, the general is still concerned about the development of China's air force, the current general is over a hundred years old, he let his grandson inherit his cause, let his beloved cause be passed down from generation to generation.
