Wings of the Nation 海天雄鹰 Episode 1

In 1965, China's offshore waters were frequently invaded by a certain country. A huge aircraft carrier fleet carrying various fighter planes was ready to go, staring eagerly at China's territorial waters and airspace. The fleet commander shamelessly threatened that there are no boundaries between the ocean and the sky, and only the arrival of forces determines ownership, and ordered the ace pilot Lieutenant Colonel James to take off. After hearing this, James flew the fighter plane into the sky, drawing a silvery white trajectory in the sky.

At this moment, at a HNA base in southern China, various radars and communication equipment are lined up, conveying important strategic information. The commander received a message that a fighter jet from a certain country had violated its airspace, and quickly ordered the leader of the 101st Marine Regiment, Yu Zhaonian, and the pilot Wu Jingtian to expel it. However, the other side not only failed to evacuate, but instead provoked and launched missiles.

After this battle, Yu Zhaonian defeated James, ending his undefeated myth. Twenty-four years later, the retired James came to China to find his beloved fighting hero Yu Zhaonian, and booked a warm reception in a top hotel. Yu Zhaonian brought his grandson Yu Tao to the appointment, greeted his friend from a foreign country as the host, and told him about his past memories.

In the 1950s, our naval aviation brigade, which did not have the backing of an aircraft carrier, was frequently humiliated and provoked by a certain country. The two sides once engaged in fierce battles in the maritime and territorial airspace. After being repelled, James asked for immediate refueling and took off immediately, breaking into Chinese airspace again. Although the commander saw that James had encountered an opponent, he knew that James was not the protagonist of this operation. The real protagonists were two fighter jets carrying advanced missiles. They would use these missiles to teach China a lesson and make China aware of its own We are weak and should not try to be enemies with the most powerful country in the world.

Subsequently, fighter planes from both sides circled in the sky, and the light spots on the radar screen were densely packed. Each light spot heralded a potential confrontation, full of unknowns and variables. Baldwin and Anderson flew their planes to attack from left and right, with the roar of cannons and the roar of missiles intertwined. Fortunately, Yu Zhaonian and Wu Jingtian cooperated tacitly and flexibly avoided the attack, causing the enemy to accidentally blow up his plane.

At this moment, a missile hit Yu Zhaonian's fighter plane. Wu Jingtian resolutely stood in front of it, and the tail of the plane exploded instantly. Due to the severe damage to the fuselage, it quickly lost control and descended. In order to avoid accidentally injuring civilians, Wu Jingtian tightly held the control rod, adjusted the direction, and finally parachuted out to escape amid Yu Zhaonian's urging. On the other side, James's fighter plane flew into the airspace of Hainan Island, and Yu Zhaonian followed closely. The two sides fought fiercely and exchanged fire, starting a life-and-death contest.

Twenty-four years later, James couldn't wait to ask the secret buried deep in his heart. Why did Yu Zhaonian choose to fly the plane towards him? If he had not chosen to eject, both of them would have been destroyed. Yu Zhaonian recalled that when he was learning to fly a fighter jet, the instructor said something that impressed him deeply, that is, the J-6 fighter looks like it has three cannons, but it actually has four, because when the cannon shells are exhausted, the pilot and the fighter jet are the last ones. An aircraft cannon.

As soon as these words came out, James was shocked and convinced that he had lost to Yu Zhaonian. On the way back, Yu Zhaonian stared at the aircraft carrier model that James had given to his grandson, with a heavy heart. Even in the past twenty years or so, enemy aircraft carriers were still lingering at the country's doorstep, and several carrier-based aircraft might fly up at any time to blackmail them into war. Yu Zhaonian is well aware of the importance of aircraft carriers and firmly believes that China will eventually have its own carrier-based aircraft to shoot down all those who dare to invade.

In 2009, China's first carrier-based aircraft, the J-15, went to sea on trial trials. The main pilots were Qin Dadi, the former commander of the 101st Regiment, and super pilot Wu Qiang. Chief Engineer Liang Hua is worried about problems with the Navy's test flight, but Captain Zhang has full confidence in Qin Dadi because he is Yu Zhaonian's proud disciple.

Under the gaze of everyone, Qin Dadi skillfully sat in the cockpit, felt the subtle vibrations of the internal mechanical operation, and checked every data on the instrument panel to ensure that the carrier-based aircraft was in optimal condition. As the start-up command was issued, the carrier-based aircraft made a deafening roar, and the J-15 took off into the sky, making everyone extremely excited.

During the test flight, Qin Dadi maintained close communication with Commander Zhang, reporting on the status of the carrier-based aircraft and test progress, and at the same time receiving instructions from the testing room. Suddenly, Qin Dadi piloted a carrier-based aircraft to swoop into the sea and then soar into the sky, frightening everyone present. And he carefully calculated and accurately executed every action to ensure that the data was accurate and complete, setting a new test flight difficulty record.

In fact, Yu Zhaonian and Wu Jingtian both completed such difficult maneuvers in their early years, but they were not recorded in the flight manual. Wu Qiang was curious and asked the reason. Qin Dadi was silent for a moment and then explained that it was because they did not have an aircraft carrier at the time. In the end, the first test flight was a complete success. On behalf of Liang Hua, Captain Zhang expressed his gratitude to Qin Dadi and Wu Qiang. Without today's test flight, they would have difficulty believing that China could build such an outstanding aircraft.

At the aircraft carrier test flight test land training base, Yi Zhengbang, deputy commander of the Navy and commander-in-chief of the aircraft carrier test, visited the site to watch the mountain explosion and made deployment plans for the subsequent construction of the main runway. Yi Zhengbang looked at the nearby mountains, facing the sea, and felt emotional, so he asked Zhang Tianyi, the commander of the training base, to name them Hero Mountain, which means the hero's final destination.

As night fell, two planes slowly landed at the 120th Marine Regiment. Super pilot Xie Zhenyu was in a bad mood and blamed his wingman Kang Yancheng for not cooperating tacitly, and the two had a verbal exchange. At the same time, his wife Wu Xiao told Qin Dadi that she was going to see her mentor tomorrow and asked him to take care of her paralyzed son at home. Wu Xiao was dissatisfied when Qin Dadi failed to agree due to something else. She urged her husband to apply for a major as soon as possible and seriously consider the high-paying offer from her friend Lao Liu, who only needed to work three days a week.

The next day, the HNA base discovered that an unknown fighter jet attempted to break into the airspace. Xie Zhenyu and Kang Yancheng quickly flew away in fighter planes, and unexpectedly encountered Robert, the ace pilot of the Turkey Brigade. The other party ignored the ownership of the airspace and insisted on moving forward. Xie Zhenyu was filled with anger when he saw this and immediately started to deal with it. Influenced by his grandfather, Yu Tao has become a special pilot of the 789th Regiment of the Air Force. He and Golden Helmet pilot Geng Jianlin were ordered to stand by for support. When enemy planes tried to approach, they needed to take decisive action.

During the eviction process, several pilots remained calm and composed, paying close attention to the reaction and movements of the enemy aircraft, and were ready to deal with possible emergencies at any time. However, Xie Zhenyu kept pursuing Robert's fighter plane. Upon seeing this, Commander Hou guessed that he had committed an old habit again and immediately warned him not to cross the combat area.
