My family has veterans 丨 This scar is the glory of the motherland

Song Yimin when he was young

My grandfather Song Yimin is an excellent fighter pilot. His most brilliant record was to drive the J-5 fighter jet to shoot down the most advanced fighter at the time in the United States, and he was honored.

On that day, Grandpa was on duty. At 5 pm, the alarm sounded suddenly. He immediately got up and rushed to the plane, running and wearing a flying cap. The tower has been shouting: "Hurry! Hurry! Come on the plane!" The situation is very urgent. After taking off, the tower reported: "Two enemy planes, a flight height of 2000 meters, 80 kilometers away."

Grandpa told me that at that time he saw a black spot in the distance that he kept approaching, and he could even see the enemy aircraft driver recently. Faced with better performance, Grandpa always kept calm.

In order not to be targeted by the opponent, Grandpa's fighter and enemy aircraft kept fighting, and sometimes flew up and sometimes. After a flip in the air, the enemy aircraft did not appear in Grandpa's field of vision. When he continued to find the trace of the enemy aircraft, Grandpa suddenly found that the other party was under himself. At that time, Grandpa predicted that the other party would definitely go up. Sure enough, the enemy aircraft rose. At the moment, Grandpa immediately aimed at the launch and hit three artillery shells. The cannon shells hit three red light in the air and hit the enemy aircraft. After the enemy aircraft was still flying, the black smoke was rolled out of the tail.

Seeing the situation of the other party, Grandpa immediately fired another shot of the enemy aircraft. At this moment, the tower issued an order requesting to return immediately. Grandpa said that he was very regrettable that he hadn't seen the enemy's fell with his own eyes. Later, he learned from his comrades' mouth that he learned that the enemy aircraft was shot down.

Back at the airport, Grandpa came down from the plane, and the assistant next to him kept shouting: "Medical soldiers! Medical soldiers are coming! The pilot is injured!" Grandpa was still wondering who was injured, and when he saw that the medical soldiers rushed all the way to the way, they rushed all the way to the way. In front of him, he wiped his face with gauze. It turned out that Grandpa's face was cut by fixed steel wires on the front of the flying cap, and the bleeding was more than. From then on, the scars have always stayed on Grandpa's face.

In my heart, this scar is the glory of the motherland! (Song Yimin's granddaughter sorted)
