September 30 is the first day of the screening of Changjin Lake . As a military enthusiast, I also went to the cinema to see the show. In the author’s opinion, Changjin Lake, as this year’s National Day gift film, has made progress in many aspects, and also pays attention to some details: it is no longer a monotonous and wrong Soviet system, or even the modern "56 Chong", but There are a large number of "38 cover", "96 type light machine gun" and so on; in terms of special effects, the explosive effects of armor-piercing bombs, incendiary bombs, and aerial bombs make the viewing scene more beautiful.
The quality of models such as airplanes and tanks has also improved. The crude "Sherman" is no longer the protagonist of the solo stage, but has become a "supporting role" for heavy equipment such as M26 "Pershing" "The semi-automation/automation of the US military's individual soldiers, as well as the difference between the logistics supply and the volunteers, also formed a sharp contrast.

■The U.S. military camp is out of sight, highlighting the strength of the "coalition" in the Korean War .
After talking about the merits, the most incomprehensible point is the plot of "Pershing" in the film. According to the description in the passage of "Changjin Lake", in 1947, Wu Qianli and his comrades drove the light tank in Shandong, so after eliminating the US M26 "Pershing" tanker, he and his comrades Jumped up for the first time and operated "Pershing" to fight with the U.S. military.
Looking back on the history of our army, looking back at Huaye’s combat data in Shandong in 1947, we can see that in the 1947 Lunan Campaign ,Our army successfully annihilated the 26th division of the Jiang Jun reorganization and the 1st fast column, and seized 24 tanks. On March 3 of the same year, the Huaye Special Zong Special School Tank Team was established. The team consisted of 93 people and 3 divisions under its jurisdiction. , A total of 6 tanks. And these six tanks are the US-made M3A3 "Stuart". Therefore, some of the lines in "Changjin Lake" are also correct.
But before entering North Korea, did the Volunteers receive "Pershing" driving and shooting training? Obviously not. After Anti-US Aid Korea began, the weapons and equipment purchased by the Volunteers were all Soviet-style weapons. As for the American vehicles used for training and combat in the country, they were all captured from the defeated Chiang Kai-shek army, and most of them were light vehicles. heavy tank of the M26 "Pershing" category. Therefore, Wu Qianli and his comrades jumped into the car and entered the familiar road after "Pershing", which is completely nonsense that is too artistic.
■After the establishment of the Huaye Special Vertical Tank Team, some members took a group photo in front of the captured M3A3 "Stuart".
■After the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, the Soviet Union assisted our army with 300 T-34/85, 60 JS-2 and 40 ISU-122. These tanks were organized into 10 regiments. Each regiment had jurisdiction over 30 T-34/85, 6 JS-2 and 5 JS-122. The Soviet Army’s equipment support for our armored forces was not gradually stopped until 1955. During this period, our army has not received any training of American armored soldiers, and little is known about the existence of "Pershing".
Secondly, although the M3A3 "Stuart" and M26 "Pershing" are in the US tank camp, their performance, protection level, and artillery are different. Take the "Stuart" as an example. The armor of the car ranges from 9.5 mm to 50.8 mm.Equipped with a 37mm M6 tank gun, the road marching at a maximum speed of 58 kilometers per hour, with 4 members, weighing only 15.2 tons; and "Pershing", which weighed 46 tons, was classified as a "heavy tank" during World War II. Big guy. The vehicle has 5 members and is equipped with an M3 90mm artillery. The road marching dropped to 48 kilometers. How could volunteer officers and soldiers who had never been in contact with "Pershing" fly this big guy?
However, as the author said earlier, "Changjin Lake" has some improvements in the props and details compared to the old-fashioned theme movie: the US tanker will move the tank barrel backwards before abandoning the car, and the volunteers are entering the DPRK. Before the battle, all things with nationality logos will be left behind... However, the improvements in these details still cannot make up for the "dazzling" segment of "Bazuka flying plane" in the film.
■ M3 "Stuart" (top) and M26 "Pershing" tank (bottom) driving position comparison, it can be seen that the two are in the control structure and internal layout All are different.
In addition, in the "Changjin Lake" film, the US 76mm gun "Sherman" confrontation between the volunteers captured the "Pershing" bridge, and the two sides shot at the same time, it was also used. The so-called "cannonball moment" special effects, which also appeared in the Russian movie "Hunting T-34". Of course, in this kind of main theme movie, the ending is also very obvious: the Volunteer "Pershing" easily penetrated the side armor of the "Sherman", and at a distance of less than 50 meters, Sherman launched The armor-piercing projectile was "magically" hit crooked.

The spoils that have just been captured, I haven't even seen the spoils. How can the people like Wu Qianli and others be able to get on the car with ease? I can only say that all volunteer soldiers are special forces.
Generally speaking, although "Changjin Lake" has achieved the restoration of special effects, props and some details, there are still many places to avoid the important points in the plot, except for some sensational methods to make up for this aspect. Apart from the lack, there is still not much progress.
Looking back at the old kind of movies, such as " garland under the mountain", although in the 80s, the props and special effects are not good, but in terms of plot, the story is strong, and it is more restored and true. Enduring, it is regarded as a classic.
In conclusion, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the theme of "Changjin Lake".
