This is an iron-blooded legend known to no one, a story of air defense that shook the world!
In the late 1950s, a group of young people received orders to form a top-secret air defense missile unit. They could tell neither their parents nor their wives and children. They had no family, no friends, no past. For ten years, they concealed their identities. With foreign aid cut off, they hauled missiles through mountains and forests and across the Gobi, covering fifty thousand li as they moved from one battlefield to another. Without advanced electronic equipment, they relied on abacuses, stopwatches, patriotic fervor, and a soldier’s indomitable spirit to devise an original eight-second close-range attack tactic. They were invincible, victorious wherever they went, repeatedly bringing down America’s most advanced U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, dubbed the “High-Altitude Phantom” and said to be unbeatable. They forged an immortal legend in the history of global air defense, one that can never be surpassed.
This unit, as a fully organized force, was personally received by the nation’s leaders. Its battalion commander, Lin Tian, was the only colonel battalion commander in the entire military. The ultimate legend of modern air defense warfare they created remains impossible to replicate, decipher, or surpass.
The narration is detailed, the description is delicate, and the plot is very attractive. It is a good book worth reading and listening to again and again.
