Plot Synopsis

In the winter of 1947, when pilots He Huaide and Li Baoqi, who were selected from the army, arrived in Mudanjiang, Northeast China, the war situation had changed and the aviation school had moved to North Manchuria. He Huaide and others braved the wind and snow to catch up with the first squadron of the aviation school. When pushing the small train up the hill, they met He Min, a female medical worker nicknamed "Little Pepper".
The First Squadron of the Aviation School was established on a dilapidated airport abandoned by the Japanese. The living and learning conditions were very simple. Squadron leader Chang Hao and Liu Liqiu, who had learned flying in the Xinjiang Aviation Team, led everyone to overcome various difficulties and organized the repair of the few damaged training planes. Liu Liqiu sacrificed himself to cover Yao Jianye when the enemy planes attacked.
The students began to study aviation theory. As most of them had only primary school education, it was very difficult for them to learn aviation theory. In addition, the bandits burned down the aviation school's oil depot. Li Baoqi lost confidence in flying and thought it would be less exciting to be an infantryman and fight in battles. So he deserted with two other students and wanted to return to their old unit. On the way, they encountered a group of bandits. One student died in the battle. They robbed a cart of gasoline and returned to the aviation school.
The arduous training life began. They assembled trainer aircraft and tried using alcohol instead when there was no aviation gasoline. In the absence of primary trainer aircraft, with the approval of the aviation school, a large group of students flew directly on advanced trainer aircraft, setting a precedent in the world's aviation history.
Chang Hao took He Huaide and several other outstanding pilots to participate in the air parade of the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, and flew over Tiananmen Square to be reviewed by the central leaders. At the gate of the Summer Palace, He Huaide met his mother's adopted daughter Xue Xilian. Xilian originally wanted to give him her mother's relics, but He Huaide received a new mission and left in a hurry.
Shortly thereafter, Chang Hao was appointed as the commander of the fighter regiment of the mixed brigade, the first aviation unit formed by the Air Force. He Huaide also followed him, switched to flying MiG -15 fighter jets, and served as the flight squadron leader.
The Korean War broke out, and the mixed brigade expanded its aviation division. Division Commander Chang Hao led his troops to Andong to participate in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. Xue Xilian, who had already joined the Volunteer Army, was also selected to study flying at the Northeast Aviation School, and missed He Huaide at the hub station for transporting goods and wounded soldiers.
Although the young Chinese Air Force had only flown jet planes for dozens of hours, they were not afraid of strong enemies. With the cooperation of the Soviet Air Force and the Korean People's Air Force, they bravely faced the world's air power. Li Baoqi fought hard and rushed to be the first to shoot down an enemy plane. He was very proud. He Huaide, the flight captain, had no record in several air battles and was under great mental pressure. He Min, who had a crush on He Huaide, kept encouraging him. In an air battle, He Huaide ignored the order to return and wanted to fight for credit. When he made an emergency landing, he caused a third-class accident and was demoted. He Huaide realized his mistake and believed that bravery alone was not enough, and tactics were also needed. Later, he fought calmly and adopted an ambush tactic to shoot down the "super ace" pilot Wells of the US Air Force in one fell swoop. The Air Force Joint Command held a celebration party for him. At the meeting, Air Force Commander Liu, who came specially, said proudly: "If you shoot down Wells, the ace pilot will stand in the ranks of the Chinese Air Force."
The Chinese Air Force became more and more mature. Deputy Regiment Commander Yao Jianye shot down three enemy planes in six minutes, which was included in the classic combat case textbook by the Soviet Red Flag Academy.
The fierce battle continued, and the relationship between He Huaide and meteorologist He Min became increasingly deep.
Under the heavy blow of the Chinese Air Force, the US Air Force was forced to retreat to the south of the Chongchon River in North Korea. However, when the Chinese Air Force bombed Yamato Island, it suffered heavy losses due to poor coordination. From this lesson, Curry and Howard realized the importance of air force tactical coordination and proposed the tactical concept of "one domain, multiple layers, four-four system" to Commander Liu.
As the United States attempted to break through the "MiG Corridor" and dispatched a large number of aircraft to attack the north, the scale of the Korean air war became larger and more intense. The Chinese Air Force quickly formed a group of new aviation divisions and went to the front line to fight in rotation. Commander Liu instructed to advance the air battle to the south of Pyongyang to cooperate with the armistice negotiations. Our aircraft took the initiative to move forward to the north of the Chongchon River to attack the enemy. In an air battle just before He Huaide's division was about to withdraw to the second line for rest, the plane of the regiment commander He Huaide was unfortunately hit by an enemy plane. After parachuting, He Huaide's left fracture was sent to the rear hospital for treatment. In order to take care of his lover, Chang Hao arranged for He Min to go to He Huaide's hospital to treat cholecystitis and serve He Huaide by the way. Xue Xilian, who had become one of the first female pilots in China, had been pursuing He Huaide. Upon hearing the news, she rushed to the hospital and met He Min by chance. Xue Xilian gave him the last words of her mother asking them to get married. He Huaide fell into an emotional conflict. He Huaide overcame the pain with amazing perseverance, cooperated with the treatment, and let the doctor reconnect the broken bones and return to the blue sky.
However, due to a misunderstanding, the relationship between He Huaide and He Min began to break down. In a fit of anger, He Min accepted the courtship of Li Baoqi, whom she had long admired. He Huaide felt lost.
The Korean War ceased, and Commander Liu went to the front line. Hundreds of guns rang out at the airport to celebrate the victory. Liu read out the commendation order signed by Chairman Mao Zedong to commend the meritorious pilots He Huaide, Yao Jianye, Li Baoqi and others.
After the Korean War, Chang Hao, He Huaide and Li Baoqi, as experienced commanders and combat backbones, were transferred to a certain aviation division in the southeast to participate in the liberation of Yijiangshan Island. This was the first joint operation of the three services of our army, and the battle was thrilling. On the night of the victory celebration, He Huaide and Xue Xilian, Li Baoqi and He Min held their weddings at the same time, and He Min showed her pain that was not easy to detect. Unexpected things happen. In the emergency battle in Fujian in 1958, Li Baoqi, who was already the head of the regiment, was hit and killed by a "Sidewinder" missile launched by a Taiwanese Kuomintang pilot. As Li Baoqi's old comrade-in-arms and He Min's first love, He Huaide loved his posthumous son Li Liang very much.
The Taiwan authorities were unwilling to accept the defeat in the air war along the southeastern coast, and frequently dispatched American-made P-2V electronic reconnaissance aircraft to infiltrate and harass the mainland. He Huaide commanded the flight squadron leader Zhou Zhankui to launch a radio-silent attack and shot down the P-2V in one fell swoop.
Zhou Zhankui became a hero and was also loved by Nie Xiaodan, a singer from the military region's cultural troupe. However, they only found out after they got married that Nie Xiaodan had an aunt who was adopted by someone else since childhood and later drifted to Singapore. According to the regulations at the time that pilots' spouses could not have overseas relationships, Zhou Zhankui had to stop flying if he did not divorce. It happened that the "Gulf of Tonkin Incident" occurred at this time. American planes that bombed northern Vietnam repeatedly entered my country's territory. The Air Force decided that He Huaide's division would rush to Guangxi for rotation. Anti-aircraft artillery was dispatched; radar troops were on alert. (Because his wife had overseas relationships) Although his superiors had relieved Zhou Zhankui of his post as head of the regiment (because his wife had overseas relationships), He Huaide believed that changing generals before the battle was a taboo in military strategy and refused to relieve Zhou of his command. He suppressed the order and did not convey it for the time being. During the rotation, Liu Liqiu's son Liu Zhongxia's plane malfunctioned and died while protecting a primary school during the forced landing. In addition to failing to execute the order in time, Zhou Zhankui was relieved of his post as head of the regiment. After the rotation, He Huaide was dismissed and transferred to the Military Theory Research Office as a researcher.
In Guangxi, anti-aircraft artillery units adjacent to the airport ambushed and shot down American planes.
Zhou Zhankui insisted on flying, and Nie Xiaodan divorced her husband reluctantly. At this time, due to the impact of extreme leftist ideas on the construction of the Air Force, the training time of the aviation unit was sharply reduced. The technical level of pilots declined, and some pilots could not even fly out of a spin. The accident rate of the unit increased sharply. When Yao Jianye, the principal of a certain aviation school in the northwest, passed by Wuzhou for a meeting, He Huaide talked to him about this and couldn't help but worry.
In the 1970s, when Premier Zhou instructed a certain air force to host an "airborne small atomic bomb test", he specifically asked He Huaide to take on this important task. Therefore, the superiors decided that He Huaide would personally command this important test.
Over the Northwest test site, the atomic bomb could not be dropped due to a malfunction in the aircraft's throwing system. He Huaide calmly evacuated all the personnel at the base underground, and calmly and decisively commanded Zhou Zhankui to successfully land the plane with the bomb, achieving a feat in the history of the Chinese Air Force. He Huaide was concerned about the unfortunate He Min, and He Min suppressed his inner emotions and worked hard.
In the early 1980s, senior commander He Huaide started with the correction of spirals, and vigorously promoted flight training to improve the flying quality of the troops. At this time, the flight commander Wu Guoan was transferred to the transport aviation unit on the grounds that the couple lived apart, but because he missed his fighter, after some ideological struggle, he resolutely returned to the fighter aviation unit. After returning to the old unit, he took the initiative to tell He Huaide that he must change his past and be a good person. Because He Huaide cared about Li Liang more than his own daughter, Xue Xilian also became wary of He Min and had a quarrel with him. Commander Chang Hao and his wife went to the door overnight to persuade them.
Zhou Zhankui found Nie Xiaodan and wanted to remarry her, but Nie Xiaodan was unwilling to give up the big stage in the provincial capital and follow him to the small city of Wuzhou. Zhou Zhankui had no choice but to marry a local doctor introduced to him by Xue Xilian. However, after marriage, the two had very different tastes in life and their relationship was always not harmonious.
Li Liang had just graduated from a local university, and the Air Force Aviation School was recruiting a group of pilots with university degrees. Li Liang was admitted as an exception, realizing his long-cherished wish. During his time at the aviation school, Li Liang went to the home of the principal Yao Jianye and met his daughter Yao Weilan, who he admired very much. However, when he was allowed to fly solo, this young man with great flying talent drove the horses on the pasture with his plane and was punished by the school. After two years of flight training, Li Liang, Xiang Yuanfang and Yang Kai became the first batch of excellent pilots with dual degrees in the Air Force. Li Liang was assigned to the unit where his father served before his death to directly fly the " Falcon " fighter. He quickly showed his superb flying skills and became a top flyer. He used more of his determination to build the Air Force and won the favor of Yao Weilan. Wu Xiaoman, a female pilot and childhood partner, has always been in love with Li Liang.
Deputy Division Commander Wu Guoan led Li Liang and Yang Kai to a European country for inspection. The other party was very arrogant and insisted on competing with Chinese Air Force pilots in a flight simulator to determine the extent of communication. Li Liang defeated Colonel James, a senior flight instructor who had won the Queen's Medal, 3:0. Pulling, Yang Kai responded to the other party's request, and after a little familiarity, he flew the " Mirage-2000 " radio and fought with Colonel Reg, a Royal Meritorious Pilot, in an actual air battle, and "shot him down" in just 3 minutes. The 3:0 and 3 minutes of the Chinese Air Force pilot shocked the European military.
In order to improve the air force training system, Li Liang invited Yao Weilan to develop a "flight training evaluation" computer program software. Zhou Tian sponsored the scientific research expenses, which brought flight training to a new level.
In an interview on a TV program, the host He Ping met Xiang Yuanfang, who was eloquent, and they fell in love at first sight. Xiang Yuanfang had never been satisfied with flying the "Eagle" fighter. He wanted to fly the latest "Falcon" fighter, but he was depressed when he failed to do so. At this time, Zhou Tian, ​​the son of Zhou Zhankui, who had returned from overseas, was hired as the assistant general manager of Southeast Airlines. He took a fancy to Xiang Yuanfang and promised him a high salary, wanting to dig him into the airline. Zhou Tian persuaded him many times, but Xiang Yuanfang finally couldn't resist the temptation and reported to the army that he had high-altitude vertigo and was not suitable for flying. Zhou Zhankui was furious when he learned that his son Zhou Tian was digging for the Air Force, and ordered the chief of military affairs to prohibit Zhou Tian from entering the camp. At the same time, Xiang Yuanfang asked to retire and transfer to civil aviation to fly the golden route. His father-in-law He Huaide was very sad. Li Liang asked He Ping to persuade him, but Xiang Yuanfang was still unwilling to give up. He Huaide was furious and decided to stop Xiang Yuanfang from flying and record a serious demerit. But when deciding who would go to Guangxi Border Primary School to commemorate Liu Zhongxia, he still wrote down Xiang Yuanfang's name. The commemoration deeply touched Xiang Yuanfang. In front of Liu Zhongxia's tomb, he pondered for a long time, and when he returned to the army, he asked the division commander to withdraw the medical record.
Under the leadership of Li Liang, Xiang Yuanfang and Yang Kai based their flight training on defeating the superior with the inferior, and developed the "weapon platform" theory of flight tactics and strategy, which won unanimous praise and approval from military experts.
When He Huaide met with his old rival Wells and talked in Beijing, He Min, who had been overworked in compiling the book "A Study of Air Force Meteorological Accidents", had stomach cancer and was in critical condition. Upon hearing the news, He Huaide hurried back to visit, but He Min's heart had stopped beating.
The joint military exercise codenamed "Thunder One" began, and He Huaide participated in all of them. After successfully completing the tasks of air blockade, air strikes and supporting landing operations, he retired from active service. All the transfer aircraft flew over the field at low altitudes, paying tribute to this general who had fought for the prosperity of the Chinese Air Force for nearly half a century with the highest military etiquette

Episode 1
In the winter of 1947, when He Huaide, Li Baoqi and other flight trainees selected from the front battlefield arrived near Mudanjiang Airport in Northeast China, the situation in North Manchuria was deteriorating, and the First Squadron of the Aviation School had been ordered to move to Andong Airport. During the migration, He Huaide rushed forward to help He Min move the large gasoline barrel, and accidentally knocked the other party down with his arm. He Min's military cap fell to the ground, revealing her hair. He Huaide then discovered that she was a female soldier. To express his apology and friendship, he let her take the war horse away for backup. Chang Hao transferred the prisoner of war Sanyuan Jiufu to the First Squadron as a flight instructor, which caused misunderstandings among some students. On a cold winter night, the temperature dropped to more than 40 degrees below zero. In the tent, the students were frozen and unable to sleep. He Min found that He Huaide was picking firewood outside the tent for everyone to keep warm. She felt that He Huaide was different. Xue Xilian, who was waiting outside the train station, had been looking forward to seeing her brother day and night for days. She handed her mother's relics to He Huaide in person, and was almost mistaken for a family member of a Kuomintang pilot. The first flight squadron of the aviation school was established on the dilapidated airport abandoned by the Japanese. The living and learning conditions were very simple. The squadron leader Chang Hao and Yao Jianye, who had revolted after flying a plane, worked together to formulate the teaching syllabus. Yao Jianye's rigorous teaching and strict discipline gave the students a refreshing experience. Political Commissar Liu Liqiu led the maintenance personnel to overcome various difficulties and organized the repair of the few broken training planes to prepare for the flight. If the test flight was successful, it would be the first flight day of our People's Air Force. However, Political Commissar Liu Liqiu died to cover Yao Jianye during the enemy attack.

Episode 2
A few months later, the Qianzhen Airport raised the blue flag again and fluttered the red and white wind vane. At 8:01 in the morning, the first solo flight was successfully carried out by the witty He Huaide, but Li Baoqi angered the instructor Yao Jianye because of his rough movements. He yelled that Li Baoqi should be grounded. In addition, the bandits blew up the oil depot of the aviation school. Li Baoqi lost confidence in flying and felt that it was not as fun as being a soldier with a gun. He and two other students deserted and wanted to go back to the old unit. On the way, they encountered bandits, and one student died in the battle. They robbed a truck of gasoline and returned to the aviation school. In the confinement room, Li Baoqi realized his mistakes, turned over a new leaf, and developed a pair of eagle-like eyes. A more difficult training life began. They assembled trainer planes. If there was no aviation gasoline, they tried to use alcohol instead. If there was no primary trainer, with the approval of the aviation school, a group of students flew directly to the advanced trainer, creating a precedent in the history of world aviation. Chang Hao is about to take He Huaide and several other outstanding pilots to participate in the air parade of the founding ceremony. They will fly over Tiananmen Square to be reviewed by the central leaders. When they bid farewell, He Huaide and others fly over the field to bid farewell to the black land. After the transfer, Chang Hao's lover Xiao Di is a warm-hearted person. She wants to promote their relationship and persuades He Huaide to write to He Min to keep in touch. After that, the two exchange letters and their feelings grow stronger.

Episode 3
During the holidays, at the gate of the Summer Palace, He Huaide happened to meet his mother's adopted daughter Xue Xilian. It turned out that Xue Xilian wanted to give him her adoptive mother's relics, but He Huaide accepted a new mission and left in a hurry. In order to make the Air Force move from single to diversified, the Military Commission not only formed a mixed brigade of aviation forces, but also formed a bomber regiment and six aviation schools. Afterwards, Chang Hao was appointed as the commander of the fighter regiment of the mixed brigade. He Huaide also followed him and changed to fly MiG-15 fighters and served as the captain of the flight squadron. He Min served as the stationmaster of the meteorological station. Sui Dingchen was transferred to the bomber regiment and changed to fly bombers because of a sentence Yao Jianye said in the old aviation school. In order to hand over a box of her mother's relics to her brother He Huaide, Xue Xilian almost walked all over Beijing, but still couldn't find He Huaide. At this time, He Huaide had been trained at the Shanghai Airport and was led by a Soviet flight instructor. Because of the language barrier, He Huaide and Korolev often quarreled, but after each flight, Korolev could not help but praise He Huaide in front of Chang Hao, saying that he would become an air hero like himself. The Korean War broke out, and the mixed brigade was organized into an aviation division. Division Commander Chang Hao led the troops to the front-line Andong Airport.

Episode 4
Xue Xilian, who had joined the Volunteer Army, was also selected to study flying at the Mudanjiang Aviation School in Northeast China. He and He Huaide missed each other at the transit station for transporting goods and wounded soldiers. At the front-line airport, when He Huaide learned that in order to expand the aviation division, combat backbones were urgently needed, the division decided to transfer Li Baoqi. He was reluctant to part with Li Baoqi, so he asked to fly with Li Baoqi again. When landing, he happened to meet two other planes, one flying head-on, which angered Commander Liu Yalou who was observing in the troops. He Huaide saw the opportunity and asked Commander Liu Yalou to approve Li Baoqi's retention. It was unexpectedly approved. He Huaide received another letter from Xue Xilian from the rear aviation school, revealing his willingness to fly with his brother. That night, at the friendly dance party, He Min and He Huaide danced gracefully, and she gave He Huaide a red hairpin as a token of love. Although He Huaide and Li Baoqi only flew for dozens of hours, they were not strong enemies and were able to bravely fight against the world's air force powers. Li Baoqi fought hard and rushed forward, and was the first to shoot down an enemy plane, feeling very proud. He Huaide, the flight captain, had no record in several air battles, and was under great mental pressure. He Min, who was in love with He Huaide, kept encouraging him.

Episode 5
Seeing that pilots continued to parachute into the water and sacrificed, Air Force Commander Ke Rui urged that the sea rescue problem must be solved as soon as possible. At the same time, in order to train pilots in actual combat, the subsequent pilots were taken to fly by He Huaide and others and put into actual combat. In an air battle, the sky suddenly darkened, dark clouds were dense, and broken clouds were about to cover the entire airport. He Min promptly asked the duty commander Wang Lian to let the pilots in the air battle return quickly. The commander of the North Korean Air Force, Wang Lian, accurately issued the return order. Because He Huaide was greedy for merit and loved fighting, he fought boldly alone and shot down an enemy plane in a circuitous and fast way. On the way back, the plane ran out of fuel and caused a third-class accident during the forced landing, and was demoted. He Huaide realized his mistake and believed that bravery alone was not enough, and tactics were also needed. Later, he fought calmly and adopted ambush tactics to shoot down Johnson, the "super ace" pilot of the US Air Force. The Air Force Commander held a celebration party for him. At the meeting, Air Force Commander Liu Yalou, who came specially for the meeting, said proudly: "To take down Johnson's ace pilot is to stand at the forefront of the Chinese Air Force. At Mudanjiang Aviation School, after strict teaching and training by instructor Mihara Jiufu, Xue Xilian was successfully allowed to fly solo. Yuan Xiu used the method of fighting poison with poison to overcome the stubborn vomiting and was also successfully allowed to fly solo. Under the powerful attack of the Chinese Air Force, the US Air Force was forced to retreat its range of activities to the south of the Chongchon River in North Korea, and Yamato Island became a military stronghold. To this end, under the strict deployment of the Air Force Command, the three armed forces of the army, navy and air force were implemented to coordinate operations, and a general offensive order to bomb the enemy's Yamato Island was issued

Episode 6
Under the heavy blow of the Chinese Air Force, the US Air Force was forced to retreat its range of activities to Yamato Island south of the Qingchuan River in North Korea, and the aircraft was also converted to F-86. At the beginning of the general attack, Sui Dingchen, due to lack of awareness of coordinated operations, led the group of aircraft to take off 5 minutes in advance, trying to win with a quick attack. Without fighter escort, the bomber group was exposed to the crossfire of enemy aircraft. The Air Force Command was caught in the crossfire due to the sudden incident and was unable to respond. In the end, due to the failure of coordination, the bomber unit suffered heavy losses. At Mudanjiang Aviation School, Xue Xilian successfully flew solo. She couldn't help her joy and wrote a letter to He Huaide according to Yuan Xiu's teaching, and looked forward to receiving a letter from her brother. It was another stormy and snowy night. He Huaide came to the hangar to check the maintenance of the aircraft. He Min cared for He Huaide and sent him a pot of soju to warm him up. He Huaide saw that the chief maintenance officer Lao Tian had frostbite on his face like a wound, so he gave him the pot of soju. Lao Tian was very grateful to He Min. In an air battle, Lu Qian encountered a group of American "Saber" aircraft and was surrounded by enemy aircraft. He was outnumbered and shot down. From the lessons learned from the defeat, Corey and He Huaide realized the importance of air tactical coordination and proposed the tactical idea of ​​"one area, multiple layers, four-four system" to Liu Yalou.

Episode 7
At Langtou Airport, He Huaide learned from Xilian's letter that as one of the first female pilots of New China, she was invited to attend the joint conference of all walks of life in the capital and was reviewed by the central leaders. When He Min saw Xue Xilian's photo, she couldn't help but praise her beautiful appearance. He Huaide felt that He Min was the most beautiful woman in his heart. As the United States attempted to break through the "MiG Corridor" and dispatched a large number of aircraft to the north, the scale of the Korean air war became larger and more intense. The Chinese Air Force quickly formed a group of new aviation divisions and went to the front line to fight in rotation. Commander Liu Yalou instructed to advance the air battle to the south of Pyongyang to cooperate with the armistice negotiations. Our aircraft took the initiative to advance to the north of Qingchuan to attack the enemy. In an air battle just before He Huaide's division was about to withdraw to the second line for rest, the plane of the regiment commander He Huaide was unfortunately hit by an enemy plane. Since the "defeat in Yamato Island", he has always hoped to make merit in the air battle. In order to take care of his lover, Chang Hao arranged for He Min to go to the hospital where He Huaide was to treat cholecystitis and serve He Huaide casually. Upon hearing the news, Xue Xilian rushed to the hospital and met He Min by chance. Xue Xilian handed him the box containing her mother's last words asking them to get married, causing He Huaide to fall into emotional conflict.

Episode 8
Liu Yalou and Ke Rui consciously rotated the various aircraft units to enrich the pilots' practical experience and achieve all-weather flight. Liu Yalou and Ke Rui were very concerned about He Huaide's injuries and sent orthopedic experts to treat him. Chang Hao came to the hospital to visit He Huaide and was more concerned about the development of his relationship with He Min. He Huaide showed Chang Hao his mother's suicide note and expressed his unwillingness to go against his mother's will and marry Xue Xilian. He Min happened to hear their conversation and decided to return to the team with Chang Hao. After returning home, Chang Hao told Xiao Di that he didn't expect He Huaide to be a combat hero, and he was also a filial son. He Huaide overcame the pain with amazing perseverance, actively cooperated with the treatment, and let the doctor reconnect the broken bones and return to the sky. There was a crack in the relationship between He Huaide and He Min. He Min was angry and tried to accept the courtship of Li Baoqi, who had been in love with her for a long time. He Huaide felt lost. In the last air battle, Sui Dingchen, who changed to fly a fighter plane, was unfortunately shot down by an enemy plane and survived after parachuting. Afterwards, Sui Dingchen followed his old instructor Yao Jianye to engage in flight teaching. After the Korean War ceased, Liu Yalou went to the front line. Hundreds of guns rang out at the airport to celebrate the victory. Commander Liu read out the commendation order signed by Chairman Mao Zedong to commend meritorious pilots He Huaide, Yao Jianye, Li Baoqi and others. Soon, the Chinese Volunteer Army returned home victoriously.

Episode 9
He Huaide asked Li Baoqi to pick up He Min from the hospital. On the way, He Min deliberately avoided He Huaide and tried to get close to Li Baoqi, chatting and laughing all the way. After He Min came back from the field hospital, Chang Hao and his lover Xiao Di went to visit and persuaded He Min to reconcile with He Huaide. He Min took out two notes and expressed her willingness to fly in a two-plane formation with Li Baoqi for the rest of her life. In order to regain the air supremacy of the motherland's airspace, the Joint Command of the Navy, Army and Air Force of the East China Theater decided to fight a beautiful battle to liberate Dachen Island and Yijiangshan Island. Ke Rui immediately dispatched troops and generals, and transferred Chang Hao, He Huaide and Li Baoqi as experienced commanders to an aviation division in the southeast to participate in the liberation of Yijiangshan Island. He Huaide saw that Zhou Zhankui was very smart and ordered him to be his wingman. He Min fully accepted Li Baoqi, and He Huaide wished them a happy life together. Before the war, Xue Xilian's crew frequently took off and landed at the front-line airport, and had more contact with He Huaide. When Xiao Di saw Xue Xilian, he quickly fell in love with her. The battle to liberate Yijiangshan Island was the first joint land, sea and air operation of our army, and the battle was thrilling. Chang Hao took advantage of the victory celebration that night to have He Huaide and Xue Xilian, Li Baoqi and He Min hold their weddings at the same time. He Min showed her pain that was not easily noticed.

Episode 10
In order to open a route from Beijing to Lhasa, an airport in the northwest solemnly sent Xue Xilian's crew to Lhasa for a test flight. Xue Xilian and Yuan Xiu lived up to everyone's expectations and succeeded in one fell swoop. The general order of commendation and publicity made Xiao Di look at Xue Xilian and Yuan Xiu differently. She took the opportunity to introduce a partner to Yuan Xiu. Yuan Xiu had known pilot Wu Guoan for several years. Like Wu Guoan, Zhou Zhankui and Liu Zhongxia were top pilots trained by instructor Sui Dingchen. Before the war, He Huaide asked Zhou Zhankui to serve as the captain and enter the complex subject flight training. Zhou Zhankui was very excited. He Min was pregnant for full term and was about to give birth. Li Baoqi hoped that his offspring would also fly planes. Unexpected things happen. In the emergency battle in Fujian in 1958, Li Baoqi, who was already the head of the regiment, was hit and killed by a "Sidewinder" missile launched by a pilot of the Kuomintang in Taiwan. At the same time, He Min successfully gave birth to a baby boy named "Li Liang". That night, He Huaide heard the suona playing "Xin Tian You". This familiar tune made him realize that Liu Zhongxia was the descendant of the old political commissar Liu Liqiu. The Taiwan authorities were unwilling to accept their failure in the air battle along the southeast coast, and frequently dispatched American-made P-2v low-altitude reconnaissance aircraft to invade and harass the mainland. He Huaide commanded Zhou Zhankui to attack in radio silence and shot down the enemy P-2v in one fell swoop. Zhou Zhankui became a combat hero and also won the love of Xue Xilian's cousin Nie Xiaodan

Episode 11
However, Zhou Zhankui found out after marriage that Nie Xiaodan had an aunt who had been given to someone else since childhood and later drifted to Singapore. According to the regulations at that time that pilots' spouses could not have overseas relationships, Zhou Zhankui had to stop flying if he did not divorce. He firmly disagreed with the divorce and waited for the organization to deal with it. After verification by He Huaide, the situation was true. He said with deep emotion that the flying career was the life and destination of pilots, and hoped that Zhou Zhankui would take care of himself. Nie Xiaodan did not want to implicate her husband and asked for a divorce. It happened that the "Gulf of Tonkin Incident" occurred at this time. American planes bombing northern Vietnam repeatedly entered my country's territory. The Air Force decided that He Huaide's division would go to Guangxi for rotation. Although the superiors had relieved Zhou Zhankui of his post as the head of the regiment, He Huaide believed that changing generals on the battlefield was a taboo in military strategy, and was unwilling to relieve Zhou Zhankui of his command. He suppressed the order and did not convey it for the time being. He asked Xue Xilian to send the unborn baby to Aunt Su in her hometown to raise and continue to fly. At this time, the maintenance team leader Lao Tian expressed his love for He Minsong. He Min refused. Liu Zhongxia bought food and coal for He Min, and gave his medal to Xiao Liliang, writing a frank advice: As long as I fly together, there will be no ace in the sky. In the Western Front, due to many mechanical failures of the aircraft, the fighter plane was delayed. Chang Hao and He Huaide readjusted their tactics, and Zhou Zhankui shot down an enemy plane. Chang Hao took advantage of the victory celebration to announce that He Huaide had a son and named him "He Ping".

Episode 12
Commander Liu Yalou personally went to the front line to inspect and conduct war zone research. He Huaide implemented new tactics and won at a disadvantage. He played a close call with the enemy and shot down an enemy plane. The anti-aircraft artillery unit adjacent to the airport set up an ambush and shot down a U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance plane of the United States and Chiang Kai-shek. Liu Yalou was proud of two victories in two battles. Soon, Commander Liu Yalou died in Shanghai. Before the transfer, Liu Zhongxia performed a flight show for the local consolation group. When an enemy plane invaded, he took the lead in a quick attack and drove the enemy plane out of the country. On the way back, Liu Zhongxia's plane malfunctioned and died when he made an emergency landing to protect a primary school. In addition, Zhou Zhankui was dismissed from his post as the head of the regiment due to failure to execute the order in time. After returning to Wuzhou, He Huaide was dismissed and transferred to the Military Theory Research Office as a division-level researcher. Just because he was a national combat hero, Xue Xilian was implicated and the original appointment of the head of the regiment was revoked. Instead, she comforted her husband to do a good job in theoretical research. Zhou Zhankui insisted on flying, and Nie Xiaodan reluctantly divorced her husband and transferred to a local art troupe to act. At this time, due to the impact of extreme leftist ideas on the construction of the Air Force, the training time of the aviation unit was reduced, resulting in the decline of the pilots' technical level. Some pilots could not even recover from the spin, and the accident rate of the unit increased. When Yao Jianye, the principal of Northwest No. 29 Aviation School, passed by Wuzhou for a meeting, He Huaide talked to him about this and couldn't help but feel distressed.

Episode 13
He Huaide cared about the unfortunate He Min, and He Min suppressed her inner feelings and worked harder. Nie Xiaodan still had deep feelings for Zhou Zhankui, and went to Wuzhou to see him again. The two had a sincere and heartfelt parting with joy and sorrow. Xue Xilian did not want to implicate Zhou Zhankui anymore, and insisted on introducing him to someone. He Min said she could not agree, and she had a deep friendship with Xiaodan. He Huaide has always been concerned about the flight training of the troops, which was ridiculed by Wu Guoan. In the 1970s, when Premier Zhou instructed a certain air force to carry out the "airborne airdrop of a small atomic bomb test", he specifically asked He Huaide to take on this important task. For this reason, the superiors decided that He Huaide would personally command this important test. Over the Northwest Test Field, the aircraft's throwing system malfunctioned and the atomic bomb could not be dropped. He Huaide calmly evacuated all the base personnel and went underground. He calmly and decisively commanded Zhou Zhankui to successfully land the plane with the bomb, achieving a feat in the history of the Chinese Air Force. In the early 1980s, senior commander He Huaide started from the spiral correction, and paid close attention to flight training to improve the flying quality of the troops. At this time, Wu Guoan requested to be transferred to the transport aircraft regiment where Yuan Xiu was to fly, on the grounds that the couple lived in different places. Yuan Xiu's family regiment won the battle, but her husband still missed his fighter plane and resolutely returned to his original unit. Before the maintenance captain Lao Tian retired, he still had infinite concerns for He Min and left a long letter.

Episode 14
He Ping was overjoyed to see Li Liang, who came to Wuzhou for practical flight, and he asked for dinner. He also told Li Liang the news that his good friend Wu Xiaoman was allowed to fly solo. Zhou Zhankui found his ex-wife Nie Xiaodan to discuss remarriage, but Nie Xiaodan felt that she had new ideals and pursuits. She thought that Zhou Zhankui needed a good wife, but she was not, and was willing to be friends with him forever. Zhou Zhankui knew that his son Zhou Tian had studied abroad, and he had no choice but to return to Wuzhou troops. Yuan Xiu was physically unable to adapt to transport aircraft flight, so he transferred to civil aviation to continue flying, and went to the United States for training for two years. Chang Hao resumed his post as the commander of the army. When he met He Huaide, he found that He Huaide was still as sharp as before and dared to challenge the world's air force, which was very commendable. Li Liang had just graduated from college, and the Air Force Aviation School was recruiting a group of pilots with college degrees. He wanted to realize his long-cherished wish, and his slogan was "Men go to fly". For this reason, He Min firmly disagreed with his son's application for the aviation school as a pilot, and had a fierce dispute with He Huaide, neither of them giving in. Through hard work, Yao Jianye, the principal of Northwest No. 29 Aviation School, admitted Li Liang as an exception. After persuasion, He Min finally agreed to his son, and He Huaide personally sent Li Liang to the aviation school to learn flying.

Episode 15
At the 29th Northwest Aviation School, Li Liang and Xiang Yuanfang, who both have a degree, passed the primary training and successfully flew solo. After He Ping was demobilized, she wanted to find a satisfactory job. He Huaide agreed that his daughter should be self-reliant, which caused dissatisfaction with Xue Xilian. The two quarreled, and He Huaide walked away. In fact, he loved his wife Xue Xilian. He Huaide asked Xiao Di to be a peacemaker to mediate at home. He Min, who was sent an invitation, heard it, and she put the invitation at the door and turned away. At Nie Xiaodan's concert, all the invited people were present, except He Min. After that, He Min refused to let He Huaide worry about Li Liang's affairs anymore, but He Huaide disagreed and wanted to be responsible for He Min and her son for the rest of his life on behalf of Li Baoqi. During his time at the aviation school, Li Liang went to the home of the principal Yao Jianye to play, met his daughter Yao Weilan, and admired her very much. Li Liang's interpretation of "hero" is unique, and he never wants to be a hero like his father: sacrifice is not the only value orientation in life. He also advised Yao Weilan not to marry someone else hastily. The training of the advanced training aircraft began, and this young man with great flying talent had an accident and was punished by the school. Instructor Sui Dingchen went to the principal many times to plead for Li Liang's status as a student, hoping that Yao Jianye would show leniency and let Li Liang fly one last time, and then get out if it didn't work. Yao Jianye personally directed, and Li Liang simply performed flying skills. His movements were smooth and beautiful, and he performed a difficult flip landing, which won the principal's favor. When he learned that Sui Dingchen was about to retire, Li Liang saluted the instructor solemnly

Episode 16
Top graduates Li Liang and Xiang Yuanfang were assigned to an aviation unit in Wuzhou. After a period of flying with a flight instructor, Li Liang was assigned to the unit where his father worked before his death to fly the "Falcon" fighter jet. He soon showed his superb flying skills and became a top flyer. Xiang Yuanfang was assigned to the third regiment to fly the J-7. Li Liang was a busybody by nature. He encouraged Xiang Yuanfang to ask the division commander Zhou Zhankui to change jobs. Zhou Zhankui not only disagreed, but also scolded Li Liang. Zhou Zhankui promised Xiang Yuanfang that he would let him fly first when the third regiment was modified in the future. Li Liang used more time to devote himself to the construction of the Air Force, which won the favor of Yao Weilan. Wu Xiaoman, a female pilot and childhood partner, has always been in love with Li Liang, but Li Liang treated her as his sister, with only brother-sister affection, and Xiaoman still did not give up. In an interview with a TV station, the host He Ping interviewed Xiang Yuanfang, a pilot with dual education. Xiang Yuanfang answered fluently, and He Ping fell in love with him at first sight. The army was reduced by one million, Chang Hao retired early, Yao Jianye was transferred to the position of Army Chief of Staff, and He Huaide was appointed Army Commander. He was also very concerned about He Min. In daily training, Li Liang took the lead in proposing that when the pilot enters the flight state, the joystick can be pulled up to 420, which is a question of concept renewal. For this reason, Zhou Zhankui personally recognized Li Liang's innovation after his flight experience. At the awarding ceremony, Commander He Huaide personally awarded Li Liang the rank of captain.

Episode 17
Yao Weilan admired Li Liang very much, so she transferred him to Wuzhou City and joined Zhou Tian's airline to work on computer research and development. This weekend, He Ping asked Li Liang to invite Xiang Yuanfang to come to her house to play. She intended to introduce Xiang Yuanfang to her parents. After Xue Xilian recognized him as Xiang Ping's son, she tacitly acknowledged their relationship. While looking up information in the library, He Min fell ill with stomach pain and was sent to the hospital by Nie Xiaodan and Zhou Tian. After examination, He Min was diagnosed with stomach cancer. When the bad news came, He Huaide felt that it was his fault and insisted that He Ping marry Li Liang. He Ping refused and accused her father of sacrificing his daughter's lifelong happiness to make up for his mistakes. He Huaide denied it and only admitted that the marriage was arranged. The new flight training began. Li Liang made a half-inverted landing without authorization, which caused an accident. He was demoted and flew the J-7 in the third regiment, and he was still able to reach the highest flight state and realm. Zhou Tian, ​​whose company is in urgent need of a group of pilots, takes the opportunity to persuade Li Liang to transfer to civil aviation to fly international routes. Li Liang refuses, saying that he will not be able to feel like an eagle. Old Tian learns that He Min suffers from advanced gastric cancer and rushes from the countryside to visit her and Li Liang. He Min sees him looking old and ragged, and tears fall quietly.

Episode 18
On He Huaide's 60th birthday, Li Liang and his friends decorated the living room with treasured objects, as if returning to the war years. Zhou Zhankui gave a congratulatory speech, people toasted frequently, and everyone gathered together. The TV news broadcast the Gulf War live, and Li Liang boldly said that it was necessary to concentrate on air strikes to win the concept, which won the applause of Yao Jianye and others. Li Liang's remarks deeply hurt He Huaide. Seeing that the old instructor also agreed with this, he felt that it was a criticism of himself. For this reason, He Ping specially made an "Eastern Military Brigade" program, and Li Liang and experts proposed to promote the "martial spirit". At the military district meeting, He Huaide suggested organizing a rapid emergency force. Zhou Zhankui was unwilling to lag behind and asked to join and participate in the "Western Region Style" exercise. He Huaide went to the front line in person. Although Zhou Zhankui commanded with confidence and did not lose the opportunity, he lost the air advantage due to insufficient air sniper attack capabilities, and the entire army failed. He Huaide was familiar with the blue army's air tactics and knew that he would lose this game. In his summary, he took this as a topic and handed it over to Li Liang's research team for research. This time Wu Xiaoman was going to the desert to save people, and she said goodbye to him. When Li Liang saw her driving a transport plane, he saw how beautiful she was. In order to help his mother recover as soon as possible after the operation, Li Liang decided to marry Yao Weilan.

Episode 19
Zhou Tian took a fancy to Xiang Yuanfang and promised him a high salary, hoping to recruit him to the airline. After Zhou Tian persuaded him many times, Xiang Yuanfang finally couldn't resist the temptation and reported to the army that he had high-altitude vertigo and was not suitable for flying. In order to improve the training of the Air Force and improve the assessment mechanism, Li Liang invited Yao Weilan to compile the "Flight Training Evaluation" computer program software. Zhou Tian sponsored the scientific research funds, which brought the flight training of the army to a new level. At the same time, Xiang Yuanfang asked to retire and transfer to civil aviation to fly directly on the golden route. His father-in-law He Huaide was very sad. Li Liang asked He Ping to persuade her husband. Zhou Zhankui was furious when he learned that his son Zhou Tian was poaching from the Air Force. He ordered the chief of military affairs to prohibit Zhou Tian from entering and leaving the camp. The division selected three top pilots to go to Europe for inspection. Wu Guoan led the team, Li Liang and others accompanied them, and Zhou Zhankui appointed Xiang Yuanfang to follow the team. The other party was very arrogant and insisted on competing with Chinese Air Force pilots in the simulation cabin to determine the extent of communication. Li Liang repeatedly defeated his opponent, and the final victory of the Chinese Air Force pilots of 3-0 and 3 minutes shocked the European military. After returning triumphantly, Xiang Yuanfang withdrew the report for transfer and concentrated on military flight. Zhou Tian knew that Xiaoman only had Li Liang in her heart. Although he was rejected by Xiaoman when he formally proposed to her, he expressed his willingness to wait for Xiaoman to change her mind.

Episode 20
While he was ill, He Min still insisted on writing a book, "A Study of Air Force Meteorological Accidents". In the prelude to the actual combat exercise, Captain Li Liang was extremely strict with flight training, so that pilots could not only strengthen their flying skills but also have courage. Under the leadership of Li Liang, Xiang Yuanfang and others developed new strategic and tactical theories based on defeating the superior with the inferior, and won unanimous praise and praise from military experts. After He Huaide surveyed the training site, He Ping criticized his father for his lack of environmental awareness, saying that the training site should not be set up on an island in a protective forest zone that has been in the breeding age for ten years. He Huaide accepted his daughter's criticism and consciously revised the exercise training site. He Min was critically ill, and Nie Xiaodan returned to China to serve her. He Min did not let Li Liang be informed of her illness, so that her only son could train with peace of mind. She felt that the people she cared about most in her life were the people in the blue sky. In fact, Nie Xiaodan cared about Zhou Zhankui as much as she did, and advised her to reconcile with Zhou Zhankui and stay together in life and death. It happened that Zhou Zhankui took the time to visit He Min and met Nie Xiaodan unexpectedly, and she finally expressed her feelings. When He Huaide met with his old rival Johnson and talked in Beijing, He Min was dying. He Huaide rushed back after learning about it, but He Min's heart had already stopped beating. The joint exercise of the three services code-named "Thunder One" began, and He Huaide participated in all of them. After successfully completing the tasks of air blockade, air strikes and supporting landing operations, he retired from active service. All the transfer aircraft flew low over the field, paying tribute to this general who had fought for the prosperity of the Chinese Air Force for nearly half a century with the highest etiquette of the Air Force!!!!!!!!!!!
