Features: This book comprehensively reveals a thrilling and captivating secret story from the 1960s. Before 1959, China's "sky window" was open. From 1959 to 1969, the Chinese Air Force used air-to-air missiles imported from the Soviet Union to conduct mobile operations across the country, engaging in "missile guerrilla warfare." They shot down a total of 9 high-altitude reconnaissance planes, including U-2 models from the U.S. and Taiwan, shocking the world and making enemy aircraft dare not come again. The author personally participated in the action of shooting down 5 high-altitude reconnaissance planes in Hero Unit Two, with each strike being different, truly a battle of wits and courage in military terms, a clash where both sides' skills were tested to the edge of the blade. Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and the Ten Marshals paid special attention to this unit, frequently granting exceptional audiences. Many behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the decade-long air war are disclosed for the first time. This book is authoritative in its information, with a simple and straightforward writing style. Authentic firsthand materials, previously unseen in both China and abroad, making it highly valuable for reading, research, and collection.
