The story about the Black Bat Squadron - the thirty-fourth squadron of the Air Force.
The Black Bat Squadron of the Taiwan Air Force risked their lives to spy on the inside story of the Continental Army, and 148 people were killed in the line of duty, accounting for 2 3 of the entire team
In 1953, the Korean War ended, the East and the West entered the Cold War period, the United States was eager to collect the CCP's electronic intelligence, the people had just retreated to Taiwan, and urgently needed US aid, in order to maintain relations between the United States and Taiwan, at that time, Chiang Kai-shek ** assigned his son Chiang Ching-kuo and the CIA to sign a contract, and the two sides used the "Western company" as a cover, and the United States provided aircraft and necessary equipment, and established the 34 Squadron (Black Bat Squadron) and the 35th Squadron (Black Cat Squadron), which were directly ordered by Chiang Kai-shek's wife, Chiang Soong Meiling, to collect intelligence for the United States, "by the way" Airdrop psychic leaflets, relief supplies, and occasionally intelligence officers. During the mission, the "black bats" tragically broke their wings and tails one by one in the night sky of the mainland, and more than 140 air force personnel died.
The 34th Squadron has the same habit of being nocturnal as bats, so the squadron is named "Bat Squadron", and the B-17 and P2V reconnaissance planes that carry out this mission are painted black, so they are also called black bats. The team's emblem is a bat with wings spreading, flying among the seven stars of the Big Dipper; The bat's wings pierce the red circle on the periphery, symbolizing the unit's infiltration into the Red Iron Curtain.
The 34th Squadron was on duty at about 4 p.m., and entered the airspace over the mainland after dusk, and each reconnaissance mission lasted longer or shorter, and if it lasted more than eight hours, there were three groups of replacement personnel. With advanced electronic equipment and superb skills, they use night cover to fly at a low altitude of 100 to 200 meters in accordance with the "minimum safe altitude" guidelines, and sometimes even fly at an ultra-low altitude of about 30 meters in order to avoid radar.
Due to the low-altitude flight, the mission of the 34th Squadron was thrilling, and once discovered, it was a dead end.
Escaping under intense artillery fire is a common occurrence for the members of the "Bat Squadron." One B-17 did not find a large hole in the engine room when it returned to the sea, which had been shattered by artillery fire on the ground. Therefore, every time the 34th Squadron sails, it is like a challenge to death, and no one can guarantee that it will return safely.
According to statistics, from its establishment in 1953 to December 1967, when the Black Bat Squadron ceased reconnaissance missions, it carried out a total of 838 special missions. Ten planes were shot down or accidentally crashed, and 148 people were killed, accounting for 2 3 of the entire team. This page of the history of the black bat is still locked in the archives of the "Air Force Special Operations History" of the relevant units of the Air Force and is classified as a top secret.
On 14 December 1992, after 33 years of leaving home, the "black bat" finally returned to Taiwan, which was the first precedent for air force personnel to be buried in Taiwan by the mainland since cross-strait exchanges. The family members all believe that the 14 crew members have shared life and death and weal and death, and have been buried in the same cave for 33 years, and they should be buried together after the burial, so they were buried together in a 480-centimeter-long tomb in the Bitan Air Force Cemetery in the suburbs of Taipei.
