Army building is the pillar of national defense construction. Only a strong army can make a strong country. There is no quiet day in the world, but someone is carrying a heavy load for you. Fortunately, we were born in a harmonious society. In this disharmonious era, we can grow up healthily and happily because of the existence of the army trained by the state. And every time they go out on a mission, they will face the test of life and death. Speaking of which, I have to mention a hero. Because of his strength and courage, our country successfully launched the first hydrogen bomb.
Yang Guoxiang was born in the 1920s. He is an ambitious young man who is determined to devote himself to the revolutionary cause of the motherland. At the age of nineteen, he was admitted to Eshan Middle School with excellent grades and a positive attitude towards life. This Eshan middle school is very famous and is led by the Eshan underground party. The young man was deeply influenced by the revolutionary enthusiasm of the school, which further stimulated his patriotic enthusiasm.
Later, in order to build the air force, the motherland urgently needed a group of promising young people to contribute to the China Air Force. How can Yang Guoxiang miss such a good opportunity to defend the motherland? He signed up for the army at the first time and wanted to defend the motherland in the blue sky from now on. In this way, in 1950, he was sent to aviation school to study, and he was fortunate to be the first pilot trained in New China.
At that time, because there were no excellent pilot coaches in China and no flight training textbooks for reference, the country had to learn from Japanese flight textbooks to train students. In order to understand Japanese materials, even those who hated the Japanese at that time had to learn Japanese. At that time, the whole world was in the recovery period of World War II, and our country wanted to train pilots. Because there were no advanced planes to train students, we only used worn-out planes and national military training machines eliminated in World War II.
Despite such difficult conditions, Yang Guoxiang achieved excellent results and was highly praised by students and teachers. After graduating with honors, he was incorporated into Chinese people's Volunteer Army, just in time for the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. His outstanding performance in the war has accumulated a lot of practical experience, which will help him to carry out the task of throwing hydrogen bombs in the future.
1965, China's first atomic bomb exploded, but the world's research on nuclear weapons has entered the ranks of more powerful hydrogen bombs. Our country knows that backwardness will lead to beatings, so after the atomic bomb exploded, we quickly entered the process of studying hydrogen bombs. Two years after the atomic bombing, China finally developed the first hydrogen bomb.
However, this research has not been completed. How to make this hydrogen bomb explode at the designated place is a difficult point, and someone needs to throw it for testing. This is a very difficult and dangerous task. No matter who flies a plane with a hydrogen bomb strapped to it, it is also stressful, because a little carelessness will not only kill himself, but also kill hundreds or even thousands of people on the ground.
Who should be entrusted with such a dangerous task? There is no doubt that Yang Guoxiang, who has rich practical experience, received instructions from his superiors and became the best candidate for throwing hydrogen bombs this time. In order to complete the throwing task perfectly, Yang Guoxiang trained 100 times, and accomplished the task brilliantly every time. After discussion at the superior meeting, it was agreed that Yang Guoxiang's throwing level was perfect enough for the throwing task, so it was decided to let Yang Guoxiang throw and test the first hydrogen bomb at 197 1.
This day came as scheduled. Although Yang Guoxiang was as nervous as many people waiting for this day, he calmly entered the cockpit like every training, checked all the equipment and waited for instructions from the commander in chief. Under the command of the commander-in-chief, Yang Guoxiang skidded off the runway and rushed into the blue sky. After arriving at the designated place, he waited for the command from the war room with rapt attention. With the disappearance of the countdown, everyone's heart is in their throats. Yang Guoxiang bravely pressed the throwing key, and the explosion that brought joy to the ground staff did not come from a distance. On the contrary, the silence around him is terrible.
Yang Guoxiang first discovered that the hydrogen bomb was still on the plane and failed to drop it. So he quickly sent an order to the general manager's office to ask for an emergency throwing, and the general manager agreed, but no matter how he pressed the throwing button, the hydrogen bomb still didn't respond. What's going on here? Obviously, the first throwing and test explosion of the hydrogen bomb ended in failure. Yang Guoxiang can't fly in the sky forever. He needs to return to the ground, considering that if he returns to the ground by parachute, the plane will fly somewhere and fall, causing hydrogen bombs to explode and causing large-scale pollution.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Yang Guoxiang decided to fly his own plane and return to the airport with a hydrogen bomb. This was a death decision, but it was also the best way that Yang Guoxiang could come up with at that time. After explaining his idea to the headquarters, the headquarters accepted his suggestion and quickly evacuated all the people at the airport to a safe area.
The plane slowly flew back to the ground and descended. After the main wheel touched the ground, Yang Guoxiang quickly opened the huge drag umbrella, forcing the plane to stop. The moment he opened the cockpit door, he knew that he still had a chance to contribute to the country. The plane landed safely and the hydrogen bomb did not explode. After careful inspection by experts, it was found that the hydrogen bomb throwing line was short-circuited, and it took only four days to eliminate the fault. Four days later, Yang Guoxiang flew the plane again for the second throwing and test explosion of the hydrogen bomb.
This time, he succeeded. In just two years and eight months, China realized the whole process from atomic bomb explosion to hydrogen bomb explosion. This achievement shocked the world, and we also proved China's scientific research strength to the world. In the face of difficulties, few people have the courage to die, but it is these brave people who have made great contributions to the development of China.
