On this special day today, let’s talk about a movie about heroes.
This hero died in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.
Volunteer Army participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, of which more than 300,000 were awarded the title of military meritorious service, heroes and models at all levels, and only two were awarded the title of "special hero".
What I want to talk about today is one of the heroes’ hometown, Zhongjiang County, Sichuan.
The battle that made him remembered by all Chinese was the battle of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, which was the most powerful and tragic battle of our army, Shangganling Battle .
Now, let's follow the camera and return to the Korean battlefield in 1952, where the hero will use his body as a wall and use his chest to resist the enemy's fire of war.
This is near the Wusheng Mountain defense line, and the US artillery fire poured on our positions like raindrops.
has a professional noun for this area: blockade area. What blockade? Cannon shells, endless shells. The entire forest seemed to be covered with cannonballs, and it seemed impossible for the living to travel through this forest.
But a young soldier appeared. He was fierce and moved like a rabbit. He ran hard in the woods where the artillery fire was pouring. He lay down quickly from time to time, under the cat, concealed, covered his ears, curled up all over his body, and when the artillery fire passed, he immediately stood up and continued running.
This is the early stage of the Shangganling Battle. On the 13th, the US military dispatched 9 batches of 40 aircraft to carry out pre-fire raids on the Shangganling area.
The US military's bomber was hovering over the woods. During the fire break, you could even hear the sound of propeller above. Suddenly, a shell landed beside the soldier and exploded with a bang. The soldier was shocked by the shock wave and fell to the tree.
Just as I was sweating for the warrior, he struggled to get up and calmed down. The camera stopped at the warrior's side face, showing his firm eyes. The warrior did not hesitate for a moment, and continued to run towards the other end of the woods without hesitation.
finally arrived at the position, and the sun shone on the mountains and rivers. On the mountains and rivers, little soldiers came into the command post of the 2nd Battalion of the 135th Regiment of our 15th Army to report: "Report to the Chief of Staff, and the order to the Sixth Company was delivered safely. Company Commander Wan said to ensure that the task was completed."
Chief of Staff asked with concern, "Are you okay?" The little soldier said excitedly: I'm fine.
As soon as the young soldier left, the chief of staff told the battalion commander: He must be afraid of wasting time, so he ran over from the blockade area.
Battalion Commander said, if I were you, let him run two laps and let him calm down.
Who is the little warrior? Many people have heard his name from textbooks since they were young - Huang Jiguang.
Finally, there is a movie to shoot our special hero - "The Special Hero Huang Jiguang". Although
is an online movie, the movie's posture is not small at all. It is guided by the Internet Audio-Visual Program Management Department of the State Administration of Radio and Television and Beijing Radio and Television Bureau , and the support project of the Internet Audio-Visual Programs of the State Administration of Radio and Television, the excellent online Audio-Visual Programs Support Project of the Beijing Radio and Television Network Audio-Visual Development Fund, and the selected works of the "Youth Chinese Dream" Internet Audio-Visual Product Creation Project of the Beijing Radio and Television Bureau.
Although it clicked on the movie with a longing for heroes, the quality of this movie was far beyond my expectations. I thought it would be very ignited, but I didn’t expect it to be so ignited, but I didn’t expect that I would never stop crying since the beginning of the movie.
However, a film with the theme of Heroes of War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, , was released on an online platform where young audiences occupied the theme. I have no idea whether it can impress the new generation of audiences.
result! The film only took the first place in the hot list after only 2 hours of its release. Who said that this young audience doesn’t like to watch the stories of our super heroes? Love to watch it very much!
I want to say that it is a great regret that such a good movie is not released in theaters. It can even be said that with the quality of this film, it can completely defeat a large theater movie.
We have heard the story of Huang Jiguang blocking the gun hole since we were young, but do you know that Huang Jiguang is actually a correspondent soldier? Do you know how a 21-year-old guy will become a hero? Why did he sacrifice himself to block the gun hole, and why did he have the courage to accomplish this feat?
Now, let’s follow the shot of “The Super Hero Huang Jiguang” and return to that magnificent battlefield - Shangganling.
"Why is the battle flag so beautiful? The blood of the hero dyed it red."
1. Entering into the role
Many war movies will use big scenes to make you enter the role in one second. "The Super Hero Huang Jiguang" has me involved in the role, but it is a literary drama: writing a letter!
Before the Battle of Shangganling began, thousands of US military shells hit the position, even the soil was hot.
In a tunnel, our volunteer army was on high alert, and the sand was constantly shaken down, but the soldiers were temporarily safe.
Comrades took advantage of this precious time to quickly help Huang Jiguang write a letter to his home.
Huang Jiguang's home is in Sichuan, and there is an old mother, a sick brother and a young brother at home.
Among the more than 100,000 martyrs sacrificed by the Volunteer Army, a total of about 30,000 in Sichuan and Chongqing, the largest number among all provinces in the country.
In addition to Huang Jiguang, the familiar martyr Qiu Shaoyun, the first-class combat hero Hu Xiudao, etc. are all children of Sichuan and Chongqing.
Comrade-in-arms read a letter written to Huang Jiguang, and the letter said: Although there are some difficulties at present, please don’t worry. I think we lived a life of a cow, horse, slave under the oppression of the former feudal landlords. Although we have difficulties now, we can survive.
At the end of the reading, Huang Jiguang asked his mother what he asked about himself? The comrade-in-arms said that his mother asked him when he would go back?
Just then, Huang Jiguang left behind his famous last words in his last letter to his family: "A man is determined to serve the people in battle, and he will not make any contributions to the battlefield!"
At the end of this scene, Huang Jiguang's figure gradually faded away in the tunnel, and the children of Sichuan and Chongqing were full of ambitions. He said, he did it.
It turns out that the most moving war movie does not need to use the grandest war scenes to get the audience into the role. A letter from home can do it.
is in the play again
, but the video does not immediately enter the scene we are familiar with, but instead takes us to understand how a hero becomes a hero. The story background of the main drama of the film takes place after the fifth battle of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. The 15th Army, which participated in the fifth battle, received a new task in April 1952, responsible for defending the entire Korean Peninsula defense line, namely the Jincheng, Jinhua and Pingkang triangle zones, with an extremely important strategic position.
The towering mountain range in the center of this triangle is the Wusheng Mountains that Huang Jiguang ran through at the beginning. The main peak is 1,061.7 meters above sea level, and is the highest peak in the middle of the front line.
The front edge of Wusheng Mountain is Shangganling, and there are two small highlands south of Shangganling. These two highlands are even more front edges, marked as
On October 14, 1952, the United Nations Army led by the United States began to attack the 597.9 highlands and 537.7 Beishan Highlands of Shangganling, Jinhua County, Gangwon Province, and the Battle of Shangganling began.
On a high ground of only 4 square kilometers, the "United Nations Army" successively invested 60,000 troops, pouring out 1.9 million artillery shells and 5,000 bombs , with the largest number of artillery shells a day reaching 300,000 artillery shells.
The grass and trees on our army's positions were gone, and the rocky hills were beaten into powder piles more than half a meter deep. Even the mountaintops of Shangganling were cut off by 2 meters.
The Battle of Shangganling also set a record of the highest firepower density in the history of world wars.
video starts and recreates the scene of that year. Under the fierce artillery fire of the enemy, all the communication lines between the 135th Regiment of the 15th Army and the outside world were cut off.
The most urgent task is to resume communication immediately.
No matter who is sent, there are many dangers along the way.
After a fierce artillery fire, the old communication soldiers in the regiment were carried back by the soldiers and died.
At the critical moment, Huang Jiguang took the initiative to ask for the fight, "I am also an communication soldier ."
It is not easy to be a communication soldier. It not only requires the strong combat qualities of ordinary soldiers, but also the ability to use and repair communication lines.
After receiving this important task, the Chief of Staff specifically called Huang Jiguang to the cave to explain to him: I know you want to make meritorious service, but fighting is not for making meritorious service, but for winning the war!
has finished the explanation. The Chief of Staff asked Huang Jiguang to smoke a cigarette calmly. Huang Jiguang said he would not smoke, so the Chief of Staff stuffed the whole bag of cigarette into his pocket.
set off!
Architecture fire is fierce, and the war opens bloody mouths to every soldier, and a crisis-ridden mission has begun.
On this road, Huang Jiguang met the instructor who led him to the army. The group decided to go to the second position to understand the situation first, and then go around to pass on the information.
This position is the famous 597.9 highland.
Entering the high ground, the tunnel was full of seriously injured soldiers. "Where are you platoon leaders?"
A soldier with gauze wrapped in eyes said: The platoon leader is still fighting, and there are only five soldiers left!
Instructor without saying a word, he started to install grenades on his body. Huang Jiguang took the initiative to ask for the fight and asked his comrades to continue to deliver the letter.
battlefield killing sounds shook the sky. The instructor and Huang Jiguang entered the battlefield, and there was a death battle.
The enemy is numerous and we are few. On one hand, the volunteers defend their positions to the death, while on the other hand, the US military attacks crazy.
attacked and fought back.
A warrior is gone, top.
Fireworks, bullets, guns and bullets are fired at the same time.
The sound of artillery fire, the shouts of soldiers, and the sound of killing shocked the sky.
Explosion shocked the sky, and flesh and blood were flying everywhere, reminding you without any ambiguity - this is war.
Among them, it is especially close-knit fight, which shows the suffocation of war.
Huang Jiguang, who was shot with bullets, could only fight with the other party in hand. During the fight, the situation changed rapidly. In a second of hesitation, the tip of the knife had already poked the eyeballs, and it was directly in the line of life and death.
A bloody battle, the battle to defend the position was won.
The comrade who had just rescued died.
Huang Jiguang's eyes became even more firm.
The story has come to this point, and I am completely immersed in the play.
3, viewing
Although it is an online movie, the movie is not shabby at all. The three major viewings are so handsome.
One is to see the big one from the small.
Although the film does not have the macro presentation of a war blockbuster like " Changjin Lake ", it completes the overall presentation of the battlefield through Huang Jiguang and his comrades-in-arms on the battlefield.
position mentioned in the video is one of the positions on the 597.9 high ground. The height is at a critical location and is held tightly by the volunteers, causing great trouble to the US military. The garrison is the 135th Regiment of the 45th Division of the 15th Army where Huang Jiguang is located.
But what was the battle situation at that time?
This scene is shown in the movie. The audience can see that the camera trembles like an earthquake. The warrior is instantly buried by the rolled up mud and becomes a "clay man"
Some warriors were shocked by the shock wave of the cannon and died in the tunnel before they had time to fight.
From October 14 to October 19, the US military and the volunteers launched a fierce and repeated battle for the 597.9 Highland, and it entered a white-hot state from the beginning.
The surface positions seized by the US military by artillery fire during the day were all recaptured by the volunteers at night, and the positions in the 597.9 Highway changed hands repeatedly. These battles in the film are also reflected through Huang Jiguang's experience in sending letters. The crafting on the picture. Large scenes, supplemented by fine special effects. Visually shocking, not inferior to blockbusters.
The second is highly realistic.
From the video, we see that the video simulates the inverting the film color, creating a rough and documentary feeling.
Based on the principle of respecting history and respecting the spirit of the volunteer army, the film strives for excellence in the presentation of scenes, clothing, weapons, and even the details of each battlefield.
For example, there are few war films that show such details. Huang Jiguang and the instructor used up their ammunition at the moment of life and death. They quickly picked up the weapon falling to the ground. After firing for a long time, the gun had a problem and didn't shoot out one shot. They fucked another one in a hurry. This time the gun could be used, but there were no bullets. These highly realistic scenes seem to bring me back to the scene of the war.
The third is to face cruelty directly.
There is a paragraph in the video where Huang Jiguang and the others came to a position, and everyone was confused at first sight.
everywhere, the smell of burnt.
The remains of the soldiers and the human tissue that fell into the soil made the sense of urgency and suffocation brought by the war.
Even if it is a small screen, it can also allow you to feel what a death battle is and fierce battle up close.
also makes you understand more clearly why the volunteer army that has experienced the test of blood and fire is the cutest person.
3, Huang Jiguang
mentions Huang Jiguang.
The first reaction of the audience must be to sacrifice themselves to block the gun hole. The heroic deeds took place on the 6th day after the "Shangganling" battle began.
However, the film does not want to just create a "big hero" who goes to death with tragic consequences.
It also wants to restore those "people" who were buried in history by artillery fire but were truly flesh and blood. Huang Jiguang is not only the heroic sacrifice of Huang Jiguang in the book, but also the son of his mother, Huang Jiguang, the soldier Huang Jiguang who was cherished by the Chief of Staff, and Huang Jiguang in the eyes of his comrades.
Only when Huang Jiguang grew from an ordinary farmer's son to a special hero in resisting U.S. aggressing and aiding Korea can he deserve this hero.
So, the video keeps interspersing between the battlefield and the conference paragraphs, for example, the passage of Huang Jiguang joining the army was filmed.
In March 1951, Huang Jiguang was the first to sign up for Chinese People's Volunteer Army in the village.
But at the beginning, because of his shortness and poor family conditions, he was not admitted immediately.
was his words that impressed the instructor who came to recruit soldiers and was recruited into the team.
movies not only made Huang Jiguang, but also a group of people around him.
For example, Huang Jiguang's mother was having dinner, and Huang Jiguang went home, sat down, and told her mother, "They want me.
The person who plays the heroic mother Deng Fangzhi is an old actor, Chi Peng .
This scene is so touching. When he heard the news that his son was going to the battlefield, the hero's mother was stunned first, then worried, and then tried hard to squeeze out a smile and said four things. One word: joining the army is glorious, joining the army is glorious.
A scene, half a minute of shot, Chi Peng's performance, deep foundation, and constant change of emotions, like flowing water.
And for example, Huang Jiguang's comrades would also joke, beat poverty, and bicker when they were not fighting, "Comrade, no, brother, don't tell the instructor. "How come our peers become elder brothers. "You are old" "You are young. "
But on the battlefield, everyone is a hero who stands tall and strong.
Of course, the most important thing is Huang Jiguang.
When it comes to Volunteer Army, they often say that they are great and "the cutest people". When it comes to Huang Jiguang, they are even more heroes.
But no one is born a hero.
, who just joined the army, is still a new recruit who joined the army with his passion. What he most wants is to make contributions.
was selected as a communications soldier, and his first reaction was that he was not convinced because "can't fight the Japanese." ”
The first time he saw the cruel position, suffocating, vomiting, dizziness, and weak legs.
For this young man. War is a game of the brave and proof of growing up.
So, when he looked at the instructor who paid the most respect, he sacrificed his hand.
But when he saw the comrades who shared life and death, he fell in front of him.
The boy's eyes changed.
He had another goal in his heart - to resist the United States and aid Korea, defend his country.
At that moment, he really understood that the Chief of Staff said to him: The mission of a soldier is not to make meritorious service, but to win the war. Why is it to win by
? It is for the land and people behind you.
With these, the character's "arc" is complete, and the audience can finally understand why the hero made that great choice at that moment.
It's time to take a picture of that exciting moment - on the evening of October 19, 1952, the volunteers attacked the 597.9 highland in the Battle of Shangganling. During the battle, when it was only more than 40 minutes before dawn, Huang Jiguang was injured and jumped up and blocked the enemy's bunker machine gun hole with his chest to sacrifice.
video shot the entire process in 15 minutes, heart-wrenching.
On the evening of October 19, 1952, Huang Jiguang's camp was ordered to seize the 597.9 Highland.
Huang Jiguang came to the Sixth Company with the Chief of Staff. After the Six Connections captured three positions, they were blocked from the No. 0 position. The No. 0 position has a group firepower point of the US military. To attack the mountain, you must first remove this firepower point.
6 Company took over position No. 6 after two hours of bloody battle, but there were only a few soldiers left in the company.
Seeing that all the soldiers were sacrificed, Huang Jiguang climbed to Company Commander Wan and took the initiative to ask for the battle. Two other correspondents from the 6th Company, Xiao Dengliang and Wu Sanyang, also climbed over together.
So Huang Jiguang, Xiao Dengliang and Wu Sanyang rushed towards the enemy's bunker with explosives. The enemy's firepower network was very dense, and Huang Jiguang and the other two charged alternately, blowing up two burgers.
But the next second when the comrades smiled at Huang Jiguang, the enemy's firepower rushed over, and Wu Sanyang and Xiao Dengliang were both shot and fell down.
The last hope is in Huang Jiguang.
When he approached the center of the US military, he threw out the last grenade . The grenade bombed half of the US military's firepower point, and the US military's machine gun immediately stopped shooting, and Huang Jiguang was also shocked by the huge explosion.
But when the troops launched a charge, the remaining machine guns in the US fire point sounded again.
Just when everyone thought Huang Jiguang had sacrificed, he got up again.
State Chief of Staff led everyone to pick up the machine gun to cover Huang Jiguang. Huang Jiguang endured the severe pain of serious injuries and climbed to the bunker with difficulty, but he had no ammunition on his body.
To block the enemy's last fire point, there is only one last way left: in the unbearable pain, Huang Jiguang imagined his mother's comfort,
He resolutely jumped up, spread his arms, rushed towards the fire point, and blocked the muzzle of the US military's straggling with his chest.
enemy machine gunner could only escape from the bunker and was immediately shot dead by our army. The last castle was taken away and we won.
When the chief of staff hugged Huang Jiguang, Huang Jiguang, whose long body was penetrated, still maintained a erect posture even though his blood was dry.
21-year-old Liu Jiayi, who plays Huang Jiguang, acts so well!
This scene was filmed so well.
For everyone: War is not about death. It is to live better.
However, for the sake of the motherland and people behind us, even if the bullet penetrates the chest and abdomen, we must use our flesh and blood to block the enemy's gun, because war is not for making meritorious service, but for victory.
And what is sacrificed generously at this moment is not the name in a textbook.
is a hero, and even more so a human being.
4, the special hero
The previous film that impressed the audience with the theme of "Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea" that depicted the Battle of Shangganling should be "Shangganling" in 1956.
The theme song " My Motherland " sung by the famous singer Guo Lanying is deeply loved by the audience and has been sung to this day.
I still remember a detail of the video. An apple was sent into the trench. It was so fragrant. The blind soldier picked up the apple and put it next to his nose to smell it.
Everyone, you pass it to him, and he pass it to you again... no one can bear to eat it.
The last apple was turned three times in the hands of eight people before finishing it.
This is not an exaggeration. According to the recall of veterans of the Volunteer Army, there was a shortage of supplies at that time, and even urine was very precious.
But behind the volunteers is the motherland, they must fight.
All the volunteer soldiers, like Huang Jiguang, are heroes.
However, Huang Jiguang is a super hero.
When his comrades rushed to the zero position, they found that Huang Jiguang, who died, had no blood on his body, and there was no blood in front of the bunker - the blood was flowing on his way toward the enemy's bunker.
On April 8, 1953, the leading organs of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army praised Huang Jiguang for his special merit and posthumously awarded the title of "Special Hero of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army".
The end of the video is a narration. It was a letter written by his mother Deng Fangzhi to the Volunteer Army after Huang Jiguang's death:
The heroic comrades of the Volunteer Army - My dear children:
On December 26 last year, I went to the market and learned that Guang'er had died on the Korean battlefield. At that time, my body felt as painful as (like) cutting a piece of flesh. How could a mother in the world not care about her children! No, no!
Now that I go there (where), people call me "heroic mom", "glorious mom", and "dear mom". I lost a son, but now I have thousands of sons. I'm waiting for news of your victory. Wait!
This is our volunteer army. This is our people.
Defend the country and protect our country. The mountains and rivers are safe, and the warriors are immortal.
military merits have ranks, but Chinese Volunteer Army has the same character.
The "not afraid of death" of Chinese soldiers is a mysterious existence in the eyes of the US military.
They don't understand. I don't understand this kind of fighting style that sacrifices my life.
doesn't understand the " Ice Sculpture Connection " that would rather freeze to death than retreat.
I don’t understand Qiu Shaoyun who was swallowed by the sea of fire but remained unmoved.
also doesn't understand Huang Jiguang who sacrificed himself to block the gun hole.
This is why, our volunteer army can defeat the most equipped team in the world back then.
This is why, after the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the motherland was safe.
Today is China's National Day. Tiananmen Square The national flag fluttering high is as if it was comforting the soldiers who traveled through time and space: Please rest assured.
You see, the future will not disappoint you.
In the unimaginable rain of fire and bullets in ordinary people, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army was able to repel the United States-led invaders with the most powerful firepower in the world because there were countless heroes like Huang Jiguang in the volunteer army.
And today, we sing "My Motherland", and we will not forget the cutest people. We will never forget the super hero Huang Jiguang.
