Special Forces in film and television
Speaking of special forces, everyone must think of various classic images in film and television works and literary creations.
For example, Wu Jing, the most popular action movie star in china' military themes, has developed his own style after transformation.
Under their performance, although there is some artistic processing, the wonderful visual experience it brings to people on the screen is still the most direct way for most people to appreciate the strength of special forces.
And Wu Jing's most popular military movie is the "Wolf Warrior" series, and the wonderful performance of the protagonist Leng Feng in the play has made many viewers addicted.
Of course, there is another supporting role that is also eye-catching, he is Zhuang Xiaolong, who plays the supporting role "Ban Brick".
But when he did not enter the film and television circle, Zhuang Xiaolong's identity was actually a special soldier.
It is reported that in order to show the real special forces style in the movie, Wu Jing deliberately applied to the troops for more than a year of training in order to restore the most realistic screen image.
It was during this period that Wu Jing met Zhuang Xiaolong of the special forces, and later successfully entered the film and television industry through Wu Jing.
It is said that the special forces are powerful, and Zhuang Xiaolong's height is easy to make people have an illusion.
Is this little man really the elite of the military?
In fact, Wu Jing's ability to look at Zhuang Xiaolong was completely from the bottom of his heart.
Wu Jing himself has a good foundation in martial arts, but Zhuang Xiaolong is no exception.
Zhuang Xiaolong has been learning martial arts with his elders since childhood, and has mastered a lot of martial arts knowledge since he was a child.
When he was young, he aspired to be a soldier to defend his country.
However, it is a pity that just when everyone is growing up, Zhuang Xiaolong has entered a state of bone age closure in advance.
Therefore, his height became a hard wound for him to enter the army, and according to the requirements, Zhuang Xiaolong, who was about one meter and five meters, did not meet the hard standards of the People's Liberation Army.
However, there were occasional exceptions in the selection of troops, and at the request of Zhuang Xiaolong, the prospective examiner gave him a chance to "perform".
Zhuang Xiaolong, who has been learning martial arts since childhood, in addition to traditional martial arts, Sanda is also a very good sport for him.
After demonstrating his abilities, Zhuang Xiaolong made an exception and entered the PLA unit.
Later, due to his excellent performance and martial arts skills, Zhuang Xiaolong also became a member of the Chinese special forces and later served as a squad leader.
And it was when Wu Jing came into contact with Zhuang Xiaolong, who was already the squad leader.
Behind the screen tough guys
After entering the army, Wu Jing felt that this "small squad leader" was quite interesting, not very tall, but he could achieve the position of squad leader, and he must have excellent ability.
Perhaps it is that the people who practice martial arts love to compete, and after some competition, Wu Jing is convinced by Zhuang Xiaolong's clean and neat moves.
In fact, this is not the first time that Zhuang Xiaolong has been questioned in the army, in fact, before this, Zhuang Xiaolong had participated in the Hunter School's further training.
This is a special operations school in Venezuela, and it is also called hell by many military personnel who have been there.
Daily training is almost all live ammunition, the elimination rate is as high as 80%, devil training is daily, ordinary people can not imagine what kind of training will be here.
Although it is an internationally open special training base, the Hunter School also has many controversial points.
It is said that when Zhuang Xiaolong participated in the training here, he once encountered ridicule from a strong man who was two meters tall.
In order to show his opponent that he was not a generalist, Zhuang Xiaolong only took two seconds to put down the strong man opposite.
Zhuang Xiaolong's tenacious will and strong strength far exceeded his height, and height was no longer the focus of people's attention.
Wu Jing also grew into a tough guy on the screen under the guidance of Zhuang Xiaolong's training.
After leaving the circle, Zhuang Xiaolong still participated in some film and television dramas, most of which were special forces images.
For special forces, Zhuang Xiaolong is only one of the cases, and it also has certain particularities.
Special forces have been described for a long time, but don't think this is a modern concept.
According to Jiang Ziya's description in the "Six Secret Teachings", the training department launched several attacks per day to complete an effective attack on the enemy army.
The recruitment of this unit requires talented and self-motivated people to enter the professional elite troops, and at the same time has the functions of commanding heights and long-distance breakthroughs.
In addition, in the early Byzantine period, ancient Rome also had accounts of special forces.
By the Middle Ages, special operations training had become an unconventional form of training and later played an important role in naval warfare in Europe.
Also in Japan, the so-called special forces, the earliest prototypes can be traced back to ninjas.
In the 19th century, special forces were deployed in British India, and the elite of the military elite often played a crucial role in a battle.
During the two world wars, the concept of modernization of special operations forces emerged.
It was quickly deployed in the British Air Force, the U.S. Strategic Services Office, and various European countries.
By now, almost every country has its own modern special operations force.
Special Forces Origins
China's modern special forces emerged around the 1980s, when the PLA internally transformed the traditional outdated concept of war into "winning a local war under high-tech conditions." Domestic special forces are mainly concentrated in the Army, and the selection is mainly selected from various Army units.
Like Zhuang Xiaolong, who has excellent quality in itself and has a martial arts background, it is naturally the first choice.
Because special forces often face many situations when conducting operations, hand-to-hand combat is a very important part of modern combat, and now each country has its own close combat system training.
In addition, in weapons training, in addition to conventional combat shooting and special shooting, special forces must also be familiar with the shooting of a variety of light weapons.
In physical training, climbing, swimming and crossing are all key training projects, and if it is frogman training, there will be a more severe and demanding training plan.
Of course, the learning of knowledge will not fall behind. Military topography, chemistry, etc. are all part of the training mission.
Tactical training is interspersed with daily training and is not a regular training task for special forces.
This type of tactical training tends to test teamwork and psychological obstacles, and field training helps special forces overcome survival difficulties.
Only by being the best mentally and physically can one become the elite of the elite.
Special forces have gradually become a broader, or more conventional, force in the modern military system.
It is reflected in the implementation of more specialized tasks, such as the domestic riot special police are also part of the special forces.
Abroad, special forces will focus more on counter-terrorism activities.
In general, the designation of special forces varies from country to country and in different contexts.
But only the best people can become special forces, so its reputation and the feelings it brings will be so different.
