Zhang Yimou was released on November 27th. A few days ago, news broke that the box office had exceeded 100 million. According to the public announcement of film shooting and production by the National Film Bureau, "The Coldest Gun" written by Chen Yu has been established, and it is reported that the director is not unexpectedly Zhang Yimou. The title of this film is also quite interesting. It is also quite suitable for the content. Judging from the coldest spear plot, it tells the story of Zhang Taofang, the Chinese sniper god during the War of Resistance against US Aggression and Aid Korea.
In recent years, the story of the War of Resisting the United States and Aid Korea has gradually been put on the screen. One second, the protagonist Zhang Yi, is one of this year's another work "King Kong River". Although there is some controversy, from the effect point of view, the effect of Kongochuan seems to be pretty good, which can not help but make people look forward to the next step of the movie to resist US aggression and aid Korea. In fact, if Zhang Taofang’s life is well photographed, it would be very exciting, after all, his sniper god is well-deserved.
Zhang Taofang was born in 1931 in Xinghua, Jiangsu. He joined the army relatively late, in March 1951, but this did not prevent him from becoming an excellent sniper. After a short initial training, in September 1952, he was incorporated into the 214th Regiment of the 72th Division of the 24th Army of the Volunteers, and stationed in Wonsan, a strategic place in North Korea. When we arrived at the front line, the war had entered a stage of strategic defense, and there was no longer a major battle between the two sides. But problems quickly emerged. The enemy’s weapons were more advanced than ours, and they bombed forward positions from time to time.
Seeing that our army could do nothing with them, and even basking in the sun, having tea parties, and dancing grandiosely, it was obvious that we did not pay attention to our army. Later, a volunteer soldier was really angry, and the distance was really too close, only about 400 to 500 meters. He began to sniper with his own gun, shot a shot to change the position, and sniped seven enemies in one day. His success gave his superiors a good idea, and soon the superiors gave an order to start the whole army's sniper campaign.
Zhang Taofang happened to encounter the cold gun and cold artillery movement in full swing. One month before his arrival, artillery also joined it. Since it's here, there is no need to say anything more, just lifting up your sleeves is doing it. What he received was a Mosin Nagant rifle made in the former Soviet Union. Because he was not familiar with the new gun, it would take some time to adapt. At the beginning, Zhang Taofang's sniper skills were very poor, and he could miss three rounds in succession when practicing shooting.
happened to pass by for a long time and was so angry that he had eaten three big sesame cakes. Zhang Taofang was so wronged when he heard this, he was also arrogant, so he began to practice guns day and night. After a period of time, the technique was really practiced, and his sniper career began. Two weeks later, he became familiar with the battlefield again, and the talented man began to show his level. In the next 32 days, he killed 214 enemies with 436 rounds. This is the highest record for the volunteers to kill the enemy coldly on the Korean battlefield, and he is therefore known as the god of Shangganling.
The US military was disturbed by this, and never dared to go out again, hiding in fortifications all day long. Later, the Shangganling North Battlefield was named Sniper Ridge, and snipers were also called in to counterattack, but it was useless. In fact, the 214 enemies are also particular about it. The 24th Army Commander Pi Dingjun gave him a pair of leather shoes because of his promise. After Zhang Taofang shot 211 people dead, he put the cartridge case in the pair of shoes.
Pi Ding knew about it and encouraged him to say three more, because Zhang Taofang was in the 214 regiment. Later, he really fought three times. In 1953, Zhang Taofang recorded the special merit and was awarded the second-level sniper hero. It is worth mentioning that after the end of the War to Resist US Aid Korea, Zhang Taofang participated in the pilot. With excellent results, he became the first generation fighter pilot until his retirement in 1985. His legend itself is an excellent subject matter, and it must be good to make a movie with heart.
