Only 2 days after its release, the box office broke through 900 million, and "Chosin Lake's Water Gate Bridge" really exploded!
Wu Jing once again proved that the amount of "Beijing" is the guarantee of the box office, and the drama broke the record of 15 film history, which has the trend of catching up with "Changjin Lake" and once again refreshing the box office record in The history of Chinese films.
As a sequel to "Chosin Lake", the Battle of Shuimen Bridge this time is more arduous and the war scenes are more tragic.
In the play, after the "Polar Bear Regiment" was annihilated, Wu Qianli and all the soldiers of the Seventh Company received a new task to blow up the Watergate Bridge and prevent the American army from retreating.
For 8 days, the American troops had to retreat, and the volunteer soldiers wanted to stop them from retreating, and a deadly battle was staged on this narrow bridge that was only 8.8 meters.
In the bad weather of minus 40 ° C, in the case of the disparity in combat effectiveness and logistical support between the two armies, the firepower was fully fired and the Watergate Bridge was blown up, however, the real story was far more tragic and tragic than the film showed.
On November 30, 1950, after several days and nights of fighting, volunteer soldiers finally annihilated the "Polar Bear Regiment".
In order not to let the ace troops be buried in Chosin Lake, Us Major General Smith thought of many tricks to try to break through the resistance of the volunteer army, just so that he could retreat with his whole body.
But it is easy to enter the mountain and difficult to get out of the mountain, and it is easy to retreat from the whole body, how easy is it to talk about? The retreat route from Liutanli, Xinxingli, Hagaru-ri, and Gutuli is a road of hell for the U.S. military.
Because the area was mostly mountainous, the terrain was complex, and the volunteer soldiers were good at guerrilla warfare and knew their routes and purposes very well, they wanted to retreat from Chosin Lake, and the only choke point they had to pass through was the Watergate Bridge.
The geographical location and strategic importance of the Watergate Bridge are self-evident to the two militaries. For the US military, crossing the Watergate Bridge = rebirth, not going over = "Nai Ho Bridge".
The first time the Watergate Bridge was blown up, the volunteer soldiers carried ZHA medicine and braved the bad weather to successfully blow up the bridge deck.
In this explosion, they estimated that the repair time of the US military would be at least 3-5 days, however, people were not as good as the sky, and they only took 1 day to repair the bridge.
"The bridge is there, the task is." The volunteer soldiers launched the second bombing operation, this time, they were more ruthless than the first, and the damage to the bridge deck was far more serious than the first.
U.S. Major General Smith saw the situation and gave their soldiers a death order: "At all costs, repair the Watergate Bridge." "Advanced weapons, plus steel in place, this time, they built simple bridges that could even pass through heavy tanks.
With this reinforced bridge deck, and the lesson of the first raid, Smith strengthened his defenses, with tank battalions and blockers holding doors to various "iron generals" of artillery.
However, even so, he ultimately underestimated the determination of the volunteer soldiers to blow up the bridge.
I saw Jiang Qingyun, commander of the 7th Company of the 240th Regiment of the 80th Division of the 27th Army, with more than a dozen volunteer soldiers wearing cotton jackets and carrying several kilograms of Z medicine each, forming a "death squad."
In the face of various "iron generals", they never flinched, this time, they almost blew up the bridge, but the price was also very painful, sacrificing 3 people and seriously injuring 4 people, one of whom was company commander Jiang Qingyun.
In the movie "Watergate Bridge", seeing the scene of Pinghe's sacrifice makes people break through the defense. Especially seeing Pinghe shouting in order to complete the task: Shoot.
The moment I saw the tank crush over him, I really burst into tears.
It was thought that this time the bombing was thorough enough that it would take several months for the U.S. army to repair the bridge, but the backwardness limited the imagination of the volunteers.
The US military used a rapid logistical support capability, airdropped the components used for bridge repair, and it was also the hardware conditions that gave them the opportunity to flee in a hurry to save their lives.
How much fire lake Chosin lake is, how bad the Watergate Bridge is.
To the surprise of the US troops, in the process of retreating, they saw a whole company of volunteer soldiers, motionless, had long been frozen into ice sculptures in the cold, and they were holding weapons one by one and forming a charge.
This scene, at the end of the "Chosin Lake" movie, Major General Smith saw this scene, which made him awe-inspired, whether there is such a scene in the real war, we have no way of knowing.
But what is certain is that the monument they cast with their bodies is difficult to admire.
From "ambush battle" to "tough battle", the battle of "Watergate Bridge" continued to escalate, and in order to restore the authenticity, the crew reproduced the Watergate Bridge and the terrain architecture around it.
The pumphouse station is attached to the cliff, but where is the right place? So they spent a few months digging up the mountain and pushing out a terrain similar to the historical record.
Not only is the set rigorous and realistic, but the explosion scenes in the play are also filmed as realistically as possible. When some people in the play are on fire, they are lit with napalm, but all this is based on the premise of ensuring the safety of the actors.
It is also the good intentions of the creators that have the monument of "Watergate Bridge" in the history of cinema.
72 years ago, in the Year of the Tiger, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea began, and the soldiers of the Volunteer Army fought in blood, and they fought all the battles to have our current Guotai Min'an;
72 years later, in the Year of the Tiger, we witnessed this history with light and shadow, not only let us remember the loveliest people of Qilian, walk out of the theater, see thousands of lights, family reunion, and now this prosperous world is prosperous, as you wish.
Hats off to the cutest people!
