Rifle ever shot down an airplane?

In 1938, when the Eighth Route Army fourth detachment of special brigade brigade commander Wu Zhongqi, led by the Department of Shandong Tai River Basin Yidu County to open up a new guerrilla area. the morning of October 9, Wu Zhongqi led a platoon to carry out reconnaissance missions, there was a sudden "Boom Boom", a Japanese bomber flew over. WuZhongQi fixed eyes, this is a heavy bomber, probably because of the air control, not meet the opponent's sake, the Japanese aircraft flying very low, unscrupulous flaunt, did not find the ground and a group of Eighth Route Army fighters. "All lie down and concentrate your fire on the airplane!" Wu Zhongqi made an instant decision, and with a command, the fighters immediately fell prone, "Since the troops were using Soviet water-linked rifles with long range and high power, a few volleys of shots went by, and the plane let out a piercing shriek, and then its butt smoked and planted itself down. After the plane fell, Wu Zhongqi led the fighters to the crash site, but also captured the only survivor of the plane - the bomber's mechanic. Shot down the plane the next day just "Double Ten Day", the four detachments also pulled the wreckage of the plane back to the base for the exhibition. Wu Zhongqi, who was used to holding a brush, picked up a rifle and made a war miracle of shooting down a heavy bomber with a rifle. At that time, this battle example greatly boosted the morale of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians. The record created by Mr. Wu Zhongqi was kept until 14 years later in the War of Resistance Against the United States and North Korea before it was broken by the volunteer soldiers. Mr. Wu Zhongqi was born on the 13th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar in 1907 in Tushan Village, Mount Mountain Town, Changqing County, Shandong Province. On May 27, 1949, Shanghai was liberated, and Wu Zhongqi, who was then the chief of staff of the south cadre column of the Third Field, entered Shanghai with the army and served as the head of the secretarial section of the Shanghai People's Government. On September 28, 1951, my volunteer unit was stationed at the foot of a small hill in Suncheon County, North Korea. In the morning, I was at the battalion headquarters to organize the company instructors to study the "Volunteer War Journal", the correspondent hurriedly ran to report: "Instructor, there are seven or eight U.S. planes, everyone quickly hide it!" I turned back and asked the battalion staff to hurry to notify each company into the air-raid shelter to take cover. Afterwards, I grabbed a U.S.-style "Tom" rifle, which was called an "eight-shot machine" by the soldiers, and said, "I'll go up the hill to observe." The hill next to the battalion headquarters was covered with dense chestnut trees, and I hid in it and set up my binoculars from the branches. I saw eight American planes circling in the air; they seemed to have spotted some target on the ground. The first plane flew very low, binoculars look very clear, the blonde blue eyes hook nose old America, the mouth is still a drum drum chewing gum ...... At that time, the headquarters of the volunteer army has regulations, unless absolutely necessary, do not allow the troops to randomly hit the aircraft, because at that time, our army does not have the right to control the air, and these abominable U.S. "Mosquitoes", swatted a fly to a group, specializing in the troops station and the village of the people crazy retaliation. Do not fight it, see the fast approaching winter, the United States aircraft and specializing in "strangulation" of the Volunteer Army logistical supply lines. At this time, the eight American airplanes began to climb. Experience tells me that their next step will be to ascend to the air bombing or dive to the ground strafing! Gritting my teeth, I resolved to fight! I to the "eight machine" in the pressure full of bullets, the shooting scale on the 500-meter distance, although I do not know the difference between the speed of the bullets and the aircraft, but by virtue of the army to improve the life of the shooting experience of the ducks, I pre-sighted an aircraft target, hold my breath, gently pull the trigger ... ... ...Hey! This first shot actually hit that American airplane a shiver, shook the wings. I thought, "If I didn't lose my eyesight, I must have hit it. I don't care, I'm going to shoot it again! With the second shot, I saw the plane wings violently to the left, the root of the right wing rose blue smoke, not long, blue smoke into red and black smoke, the plane then crooked bladder, more than a kilometer away towards the nine companies near the site of the more flat slopes slid down the ...... The U.S. plane was shot down, the remaining planes are also again! After this American plane was shot down, the remaining planes were no longer interested in fighting, and one by one turned around and flew back. In the binoculars, I saw that the downed airplane, but barely landed on the west side of the flatter hillside did not explode. Seeing the hatch lifted, the American pilot is struggling to climb out ...... I busy rifle, but then look at the distance, alas! The range is not enough, really anxious! A few minutes later, from the direction of the east coast and flew a U.S. helicopter, the downed U.S. pilot tied to a soft ladder to save. We later found many traces of blood in the cabin of the downed airplane, and it seemed that the pilot was not badly injured. The fighters also removed six machine guns from the airplane, each of which was oily and blue. I shot down the U.S. plane less than an hour, the division and the army know. The military department came to a military justice director, iron face, called me to the regiment to train a pass: ...... waiting to be disciplined! In the afternoon, the military political department and sent to investigate, said: military rules, may give you punishment, you have to be mentally prepared. Later, the punishment did not give, but also did not give credit. It is said to be Wu Xinquan military commander and several other chiefs touched the views: affirmation and fight Yixian is a special class merit, the army's first party congress representatives, this fight aircraft for a reason ...... and then later, the army ordered: you can fight the plane. Soldiers are eager to try. After that, the U.S. aircraft no longer dare to fly low at will.
