Plateau photographer Li Jun

Li Jianying, 1 enlisted in June, 1982, was a first-class pilot of a certain division of the Air Force Aviation Division, with the rank of colonel, and was awarded second class merit1time and third class merit twice successively. On June, 2006165438+1October 14, pigeons collided in flight, causing the engine to stop in the air. In order to protect people's lives and property, the pilot made an unsuccessful forced landing and died heroically. The air force party Committee recorded the first class merit for him and posthumously awarded the "honorary gold medal of the air force meritorious pilot".

Human life is the most precious. When people's lives and property are in danger, he resolutely trades his life for the safety of thousands of people.

Although it has been more than four months since Li Jianying, a first-class pilot of a division of the Air Force Aviation in Lanzhou Military Region, his earth-shattering heroic feat is still widely celebrated in China. On February 26, 2006, 65438+, the Air Force Party Committee posthumously awarded him the "Gold Medal of Honor for Air Force Meritorious Pilots".

One day in late March, the reporter greeted Chun Xue, who was in the prime of life, and went to a military camp by the Taohe River in the northwest to follow the hero's footsteps.

When the pigeon collided with the plane, did it choose to skydive and let the plane rush to a densely populated village, or did it risk its life to land the plane? Life-and-death choice 16 seconds, Li Jianying resolutely gave up the opportunity of skydiving for many times.

Clock goes back to 165438+2006 10/4. An airport in the northwest, the sky is high and the clouds are light.

1 1: 00, Li Jianying took off and soared into the sky. After more than 40 minutes of aerial patrol hunting, the mission was successfully returned.

Drop the height, make four turns, add the sliding line, and all the movements are skilled and free. 12: 04: 0 1 s, the altitude of the fighter dropped to194m, and the distance to the airport was 2900m.

Suddenly, the fighter plane issued a "bang! Boom, a group of pigeons suddenly hit the fighter plane, the fuselage shook violently, the engine speed dropped suddenly, the temperature rose sharply, and the average altitude of the plane dropped 1 1 m per second!

Bird collision is a worldwide aviation problem, and every year civil aviation and military aircraft will encounter air crashes or air crashes. Dual-engine and multi-engine planes can navigate and land with a single engine after being hit by a bird, but the fighter plane driven by Li Jianying has only one engine!

When the plane is 0/27 meters away from the ground, the engine stops!

12: 04: 09, Li Jianying calmly shouted: "I hit a bird, I want to adjust my skydiving!"

This is the best time for Li Jianying to skydive. However, he didn't jump at once. He wants to "adjust skydiving". The situation is extremely critical! Why did he adjust?

Countless days and nights, Li Jianying and his comrades set sail from here and returned home. Every tiny landmark within dozens of kilometers of Fiona Fang, Fiona Fang is deeply remembered.

Li Jianying clearly knows that there are seven natural villages, hundreds of families and three or four thousand people under the fighter plane, as well as highways and toll stations with dense traffic. At this time, there are not only a lot of jet fuel left in the plane, but also hundreds of shells. Once the plane parachuting is abandoned, the out-of-control plane will become a blockbuster, causing devastating damage to people's lives and property, and the consequences are unimaginable.

12: 04: 15 seconds, the plane is 67 meters off the ground and the speed is 258.438+05438+0 km. At this point, Li Jianying decisively reported: "You watch the forced landing, I will put away the landing gear."

After listening to this, the tower commander was surprised. He thought that Li Jianying would skydive immediately after adjusting the plane to avoid villages and crowds as much as possible, but he actually gave up skydiving and made up his mind to make a forced landing.

In an instant, the tower was silent, and everyone's heart suddenly tightened-the success rate of forced landing was too low! It is too dangerous!

Fighters fly by inertia, and under the plane are still quiet villages and farmers working in the fields.

12: 04, 18 seconds, Li Jianying calmly reported: "I put away the landing gear and forced landing!"

He tried to control the plane with the most standardized movements and maintain a normal landing state.

The plane just flew over the village and success was in sight. Suddenly, a canal slope protection 3.5 meters above the ground stood in front of him, and Li Jianying struggled to take a pole up. The elevation angle of the plane suddenly increased and the nose suddenly lifted.

12: 04: 25, the plane "black box" stopped recording. The plane crashed into the canal slope protection and disintegrated, and bombs, rockets, jet fuel and oxygen cylinders exploded one after another. When Li Jianying died heroically, he still leaned forward, clutching the joystick with both hands.

At the beginning of the accident, many people were puzzled. The fighter plane is in danger. As long as the pilot's wrist is buckled, the ejection lifesaving system with zero-altitude skydiving function will work. Why didn't Li Jianying skydive to survive? After unscrambling the "black box", the flight experts conducted a detailed investigation on the spot and concluded that Li Jianying was a great hero. He gave up skydiving many times, entirely for the common people!

From asking for instructions to parachuting to heroic sacrifice, Li Jianying completed his last voyage in 42 years in just 16 seconds. The hero lit up Venus and blended into the blue sky he loved all his life forever!

/kloc-When he joined the army at the age of 0/8, Li Jianying changed his original name from "sword" to "sword". After 25 years of dedication to Wushu, he forged himself into an "air sword" to fulfill his sacred mission and dominate Li Yuntian.

The news of Li Jianying's forced landing and sacrifice came. An air force leader shut himself in his room, and his grief was unbearable. He knows this "all-weather" first-class pilot who has flown safely for more than 5,000 times and more than 2,300 hours. He lamented that the Air Force had lost an outstanding person with rich combat experience.

Comrades are even more sad to tears. If it weren't for the "murder canal" protruding from the ground, Li Jianying's forced landing almost succeeded! As pilots, they are proud to have Li Jianying, a good comrade-in-arms with excellent flying skills, excellent psychological quality and firm ideals and beliefs, in their battle sequence.

Heroes perform feats in an instant.

18-year-old Li Jianying, a Henan farmer with a childlike innocence, changed his original name from "sword" to "sword" as soon as he stepped into the gate of the aviation school. He wants to be a sword in the air and fulfill his dream of "ace pilot".

Huang Guanghua, head of the delegation, has been following Li Jianying since the aviation school. From then on, they flew together in the northwest of the motherland and never separated. He said that as a pilot, the talent of this old comrade-in-arms is not outstanding, but with his incomparable love for flying and the diligence of the acquired superman, he has achieved his glory as a pilot.

Northwest Gobi, a fierce "air battle" started in the vast sky. The "Blue Army" driving the new aircraft came to the scene angrily, and Li Jianying led the four-plane formation of the old fighter plane to take off to meet it. In the face of the "Blue Army" with superior aircraft performance, Li Jianying and his comrades skillfully used the skillful tactics that they usually practiced, evaded reality, fostered strengths and avoided weaknesses, and unexpectedly caught their opponents off guard, locked in and launched missiles, and the "enemy plane" exploded in the air.

The soldiers watching the battle are boiling! This kind of air confrontation, which is similar to actual combat, paved the way for the use of old fighters in future operations and strengthened the confidence of officers and men to win based on existing equipment. A general held Li Jianying's hand tightly and said, "Well played, long ambition!"

During his 25-year military career, Li Jianying experienced four refits, each of which was the first solo flight; In the flight training in Tibet, he set a number of records, such as the longest flight time of this type of aircraft formation and the lowest altitude at ultra-low altitude on the plateau.

Flying is the cause of the brave, and risks are always accompanied.

That year, Li Jianying rode a newly modified fighter plane, through clouds and fog in the air, and trained in complex stunt subjects. When he successfully made a "bucket top" action, he suddenly found that the engine instrument indicated a sudden drop in speed. "No, the engine is parked in the air!" Li Jianying made an accurate judgment at the first time.

For an airplane, stopping the engine is like stopping the heart, and its seriousness is self-evident. Li Jianying took his time, reporting to the commander and creating conditions for air driving. After two or three seconds, the fighter maintained a good posture in the air. He seized the fleeting opportunity, quickly turned on the air ignition switch, pressed the stopwatch to time, and observed the instructions of engine instrument speed, temperature and lubricating oil! 1 sec, 2 seconds ... After 5 seconds, the engine sounded a cheerful roar.

Passing death by, as soon as Li Jianying's fighter plane landed, his comrades rushed to welcome the hero back. Li Jianying calmly stepped off the fighter plane, went straight into the pilot lounge as usual, and began to fill in the flight record and his own experience in handling this special situation.

Li Jianying wrote in his diary: "As an air soldier, you should always wait for your pillow and guard the roof and wall of the motherland." Flying in the blue sky for more than 20 years, I have been out of Man Qin every year, with the longest flight time, and completed dozens of major tasks such as training and exercises. Li Jianying is a famous "expert on duty" in an aviation division with a lot of heroes. He likes the feeling of approaching the fighter plane in his flight suit. He listened to the call of the blue sky and flew a fighter plane for nine days under orders.

When Li Jianying left, people praised him as "passionate, loyal to his soul, and his feat will last forever", which was "the pride of China soldiers". Many netizens also asked online: "Pilots are made of gold. It's a pity that an excellent pilot fell to the training ground like this. Is it worth it? "

"For the people's soldiers, this is the purpose, the responsibility, and it must be done!" Zhong Weiguo, political commissar of the division, said that during the war, soldiers were lying on the battlefield, wrapped in horses, in order to fulfill their mission and defend their country; No matter what the situation, we must put human life first!

Li Jianying takes the national interests and people's interests as the highest interests. He is seven feet tall and has great love in his chest. From him, people realized the value of life.

Helan Mountain hangs its head, Taohe River whimpers, and the land of Longyuan is sad and silent!

Life is the most precious thing for people. Li Jianying's forced landing didn't work miracles, but he bought thousands of people's safety with his own life.

After Li Jianying's sacrifice, people spontaneously came from all directions to remember his heroic feat. In the field where he was killed, people from different industries and ages came to pay homage, offering a bunch of flowers, a glass of wine and lighting a cigarette. On the Internet, hundreds of thousands of posts praised Li Jianying's deeds, and netizens opened several online memorials for him. Many overseas media also published articles saying that the action world of China pilots is rare!

Heroes come from the ordinary, but more important. Through Li Jianying's extraordinary act of sacrificing his life for righteousness, we can recall his voice, face and taste what he did before his death. People can't help but feel heartfelt admiration: he took the interests of the motherland and the people as the highest interest and had great love in his heart. From him, he can appreciate the value of life and feel the brilliance of human nature.

The leader of the army commented on him, saying that Li Jianying loved flying and the army more than himself.

10 years ago, his ex-wife didn't want to be separated for a long time, so she tried to persuade him not to jump ship and left him and her young son. Later, his third brother contacted an airline with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan. He refused to disclose, "It's the same flight. Driving a fighter is very different from driving a civil aviation. " Two years ago, the original army modified the new machine. Because of his age, he either applied for grounding or transferred to a very remote unit. He found the leader and said, "As long as I fly, I can go anywhere."

Comrade-in-arms praised him, and Lao Li thought of others everywhere. He is a rare good brother.

Wang Jinling, the pilot, can't forget it. In June+10 last year, he was ill and lived in Lanzhou. It happened that his mother was in urgent need of money because of coronary heart disease. Without further ado, Li Jianying mailed 5,000 yuan to his family. The pilot Li Junjian can't forget it. Once in the middle of the night, he suddenly had a high fever and his whole body twitched, so that his wife opened the door and shouted "Help". Li Jianying heard voices running from the fourth floor to the first floor and carried him to the aviation medical room in one breath. Staff Sergeant Zhang Songshan can't forget that when he was a recruit, he was depressed because of the bleak future. It was Li Jianying who approached him, encouraged him and cheered him up quickly.

People miss Li Jianying. Unfortunately, the pilot died. He is very kind at ordinary times, helping us grow crops and collect cabbage. He didn't sacrifice because he couldn't bear to hurt us.

In Lintao County, there is a 70-year-old woman who has no children. Every Sunday, as long as Li Jianying doesn't fly, she will take time to see her and take her to the hospital for physical examination. Knowing that Li Jianying had passed away, the old lady was heartbroken and burst into tears: "My good son has left."

Li Jianying's hometown is in the countryside, and his parents are seriously ill. His wife, Li Yueping, is also ill and needs to take medicine for many years. His son is still studying, so it is difficult at home. He is usually frugal. The electronic watch he wore when he died cost 15 yuan and has been used for several years. If he can donate money to the affected people, he will pay 1000 yuan at a time.

Knowing the bad news of her husband's death, Li Yueping shot through her heart and lay in tears at the scene of her husband's death. She found a piece of glass on the cockpit cover of a fighter plane in the soil and asked someone to make it into a pendant and hang it on her and her children's chests. She said, "Jianying, you will never leave our hearts."

Heroes love people, and people love heroes more. Li Jianying's heroic feat touched both inside and outside the barracks. Employees of a company donate money to Li Jianying's wife and children, and a local university will enroll his son for free. ...

The sword soul writes the shining track of the iron wing in the sky, and the spirit eulogizes the bright life of the blue sky guardian.

At the end of the interview, when the reporter left, the sky was clear and the warm sunshine shone on the high Long Yuan. Over the airport, eagles roared like thunder, leaping into the blue sky one by one and soaring in the Wan Li sky.

Heroes still fly! (The picture in this article is provided by, Liang)

A brief comment

Valuable and respectable public servant consciousness

In order to protect the lives of thousands of people on the ground, Li Jianying, a first-class pilot of a division of Lanzhou Air Force, gave up skydiving many times at a critical juncture, forced his plane to land and died heroically. He explained the value and respect of public servant consciousness with life and loyalty.

Public servant consciousness is a kind of consciousness of serving the people wholeheartedly. With this awareness, we can do our duty, do our best, and be willing to give everything for the benefit of the party and the people. When we solemnly raised our right hand under the red flag of the Red Army, this precious and respectable consciousness was integrated into the blood of the soldiers and became the code of conduct that the people's army always followed. Zhang Side, Dong Cunrui, Huang Jiguang, Lei Feng, Suning, Yang Yegong ... On the heroic spectrum of our army, all these shining names are closely linked to the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly. Li Jianying deserves to be regarded as an outstanding representative of practicing the purpose of our army, and is another dazzling star in this splendid Milky Way.

Soldiers exist because of war, but the test that soldiers face is not just war. In peacetime, our army will face the same severe test, in order to complete the historical mission in the new century and new stage, and complete diversified military tasks. When natural disasters, emergencies and other non-war factors threaten the safety of people's lives and property, it is also the unshirkable responsibility of soldiers to stand up and go through fire and water. At the critical juncture of life and death, Li Jianying used his precious life to hand over to the Party and the people a qualified answer sheet for soldiers to perform their missions in peacetime.

At the conference commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Long March, President Hu Jintao pointed out: "Building a revolutionary army that listens to the party's command, serves the people and is brave and good at fighting is the support of the revolution and the hope of the nation." This is the political requirement of the party for the people's army under the new situation. Every revolutionary soldier should, like Li Jianying, put this requirement into practice, enhance the consciousness of public servants, be selfless and brave in sacrifice, and consciously write a new chapter of "People's Army for the People".
