"Saving Private Ryan" I believe everyone has seen it many times, and the quality assurance of world war II films is a lot of silver burned by Berg director, and the special effects of one by one make one piece of plasma splashed, which is the classic war epic of the Normandy landing. The film opens in the early morning of June 6, 1944, when Allied soldiers, sitting on bumpy landing craft, launch a counterattack on Normandy, carrying with them all hopes of liberating France, including Europe. This Higgins landing craft, which means to transport a platoon of troops and a small vehicle, is one of the most common means of transport for the Allies in World War II, and its range can reach 110 nautical miles, which is just enough to cross the English Channel, because the armored vehicles at that time did not have amphibious landing capabilities, so it was necessary for the transport ship to put him to the target content that needed to be landed to achieve mechanized landing. To achieve this, these large and small landing ships adopted a flat-bottomed design, amazing hull structure, coupled with bad weather conditions, soldiers who had passed through the waves for a night experienced severe seasickness, raised armor plates and other personnel and vehicles provided protection, and the stopped landing ladder plates were retracted with the ship's slings, which were equipped with anti-slip strips to facilitate the entry and exit of personnel and vehicles. However, the ideal is very full, but the reality is bone- In the real landing operation, because the steel plate of the landing has just been lowered, the soldiers on the transport boat are the live targets of the enemy's shooting, and many soldiers have not rushed out of the landing craft to shoot indiscriminately.
Therefore, in the later Pacific Theater, the first american soldiers to land from the side of the landing craft flipped out and landed. Before the counteroffensive began in 1944, the Germans had always thought that the Allies would land in Calais in northern France, but they had no idea that they would appear in Normandy in a big way. Although the German army that suffered a surprise attack was insufficiently prepared, it actually took advantage of the time and place, and the rate of fire, up to 1200 to 1500 rounds per minute mg42 machine gun became the number one harvester for the lives of Allied soldiers. So the question is, why did the Allies choose to let ordinary soldiers seize the beachhead instead of using mechanized force in the first phase of the battle? The anti-landing triangle cone and wooden stakes that had been operating on the beach with the Germans for many years prevented the landing craft from approaching the coast normally, and even if the American armored forces landed successfully, these barricades would slow them down, causing the German artillery hiding in the solid offensive to destroy the Allied armored vehicles by name. In this case, we can only use the flexible infantry to first launch a beach-grabbing landing, occupy the German position, and blow up the shore fire guns, so as to open up a passage for the follow-up troops. The opening scene of this tragic landing took place under such circumstances. Several of the protagonists in the film also made their debut in this landing battle, such as the hygienist Wade, the sniper Jackson and so on.
The title of the film is called "Saving Private Ryan" because two of the four brothers of the Ryan family died in the Normandy landings, and one died in the Pacific Theater, leaving only the youngest James Ryan, the old man at the beginning of the film. Ryan was a paratrooper of the 101st Airborne Division, and they were airdropped into the rear of the enemy in advance, the exact location of which is unknown. In order not to let the mother lose her last son, the superior ordered the front commander to send someone to find Ryan and lead him back to the United States to his mother, which is the meaning of the title "Saving Private Ryan". The task fell to Captain Miller, who was experienced in combat. Captain Miller set out after finding six old subordinates and a rookie translator for this special mission.
Let's take a look at the eight-man lookout for the weaponry of the squad. In Captain Miller's hand was a Thompson submachine gun. The Thompson submachine gun was a rapid-fire weapon specially designed for trench warfare in World War I. However, before the army was equipped, the war was over, the sales of Thompson submachine guns had naturally been broken, and the unintentional willow insertion became the murderous weapon of the American gangsters, and it was not until 1942 that the large-scale equipment of the sniper Jackson used a 1903 Springfield sniper rifle. M19 03 Springfield rifle is imitating the German Mauser 1898, from World War I to the early world war II, the American standard rifle has been the Springfield rifle, until 19 inside the m-One-Plus Rand rifle can take the Springfield rifle, at this time the Springfield rifle was given a new mission, removing the mechanical aiming military uniform to optical aiming, becoming a sniper rifle, the captain's right-hand man. Kurt uses m-carbine m-carbine is a close-in weapon using pistol cartridges, with a magazine capacity of 15 rounds, a magazine belt that can carry two spare magazines on the stock, and the power and accuracy are between the Thompson submachine gun and the m-galland, light and reliable. The paratrooper version of this rifle is the foldable stock of the M1a1, the machine gunner guest uses a m1918 Browning automatic rifle M1918 Browning automatic rifle in the military is used as a fire support squad machine gun, there are also many soldiers who feel that the weight is too heavy, simply removed the tripod, the disadvantage of the gun is that the 20 rounds of ammunition capacity is not sustainable, the hygienist Wade did not carry a gun, the remaining three people have an m-Galland rifle. M-Galland rifle was officially finalized in 1936, began to equip the U.S. military, is the world's first large number of semi-automatic rifles into active service, its biggest feature is that after the last bullet, the missing clip will automatically pop out of the magazine, making a crisp metallic sound, reminding soldiers to reload bullets. The M14 rifle, which was considered the best rifle of World War II, was developed in 1957 and has been used in the U.S. Army since 1957. Regarding the encounter of the reporter rescue team, the friends can find time to relive the movie on their own.
