The movie Lake Chosin, I went to see it on September 30.
It was late that day, it was raining heavily outside the house, and some sections of the road were flooded. I drove, waded to the cinema, and watched Lake Chosin overnight.
When I finished watching, it was already 2:30 a.m. I'm a military fan and a picky guy about war movies. I have seen many classic war movies, such as "Letter from Iwo Jima", "Flag of the Fathers", "Wildfire" and the German "Our Fathers" trilogy, which are classics in war movies.
However, these were all taken by foreigners. To say that Chinese war movies, the most awesome, I only serve "Garland Under the Mountain", director Xie Jin.
In my heart, this is the best war movie ever made since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was shot in 1984, and its picture quality is far inferior to the HD of today's films, but its core, its story, its characters, and its sense of the times far exceed any war movie on the Chinese market today.
For "Garland Under the Mountain", I will not skimp on any words of praise. "Chosin Lake" is a high-quality beat, but compared to "Garland Under the Mountain", it is also a little worse than "Garland Under the Mountain".
This thing is called: "The weakness of human nature in real war." ”
It is a film about the counterattack against Vietnam.
The protagonist's name is Zhao Mengsheng. It is the son of a high-ranking cadre led by Beijing. In order to avoid the turmoil outside, Zhao Mengsheng was arranged by his mother into the army and directly joined the team as a company commander.
But Zhao Mengsheng, who was born after liberation, was a child who was spoiled and raised by his mother. He was greedy for life and afraid of death, coveted pleasure, liked to listen to soft music, and danced softly.
When he came to the company, he ignored the soldiers, trained passively, and lay in the dormitory all day long, trying to get out of the hard life of the troops all the time. For Zhao Mengsheng, the troops are like cages, living every day like a year.
The company commander was like this, and the soldiers were also angry in their hearts, and everyone looked down on him. The soldiers also knew that he was a high-ranking cadre, that he had only come to take refuge in the army, and that sooner or later he would leave.
Jin Kailai, the commander of the artillery platoon from the countryside of Henan, held his breath in his heart and did not sneer at Zhao Mengsheng on weekdays.
In the entire company, the only one who was better for Zhao Mengsheng was the instructor Liang Sanxi. But Liang Sanxi was only loyal to his post, and still looked down on this stupid boy in his bones.
If there is no counterattack against Vietnam, Zhao Mengsheng can be transferred away after 2 years of mixing in the company. However, not long after he descended into the company, the counterattack against Vietnam broke out!
Originally to avoid the evil outside, it ended up hitting the Muzzle of the Vietnamese' guns. As soon as Zhao Mengsheng heard that he was going to the front line and was going to fight, he was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. He called his mother, and he must leave the army and return to Beijing before the war began.
Before the war was fought, the company had to run first, which was extremely damaging to the morale of the company. Instructor Liang Sanxi came overnight to persuade Zhao Mengsheng to be a real man. Jin Kailai, the commander of the artillery platoon, was even more sarcastic, sarcastic, and insulted, but Zhao Mengsheng still instigated it. He was determined to be a deserter.
At his repeated requests, his mother made a phone call to the division commander and requested that Zhao Besheng be sent back to Beijing.
At the pre-war mobilization meeting, the division commander said unceremoniously: "Whoever dares to walk the back door to the battlefield, I prefer her son, the first to carry the explosives package, to blow up the bunker!" ”
Zhao Mengsheng in the audience was ashamed and embarrassed, and his face was red, which clearly said that it was him.
In the movie Changjin Lake, Mao Anying has a line: "The children of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people went to the battlefield without saying a word after receiving military orders, so what reason do I have not to go?" ”
Chairman Mao's answer was: "Old Peng, let him go with you." ”
But in the movie "Garland Under the Mountain", before the war starts, the leader's children want to run first. Times are different, and people's hearts are different.
In this way, the division commander sent Zhao Mengsheng to the battlefield with a single word.
The Vietnamese devils are no less ferocious than the American devils. The American devils can't beat it, so they run. But the Vietnamese devils can't fight, so they play with our army. Vietnam is mostly mountainous and is a typical jungle area. It defeated the French and American troops, annexed Laos, and invaded Vietnam in Cambodia, reaching an all-time high in military strength.
They dug a large number of traps in the mountains, and the traps were filled with sharp bamboo thorns. As soon as our soldiers accidentally fall into the trap, they will be pierced by bamboo thorns.
In the early stages of the war, the Chinese People's Liberation Army advanced rapidly, catching the Vietnamese army by surprise. In the movie, Zhao Mengsheng, as a company commander, has been protected by the instructor Liang Sanxi. Although Zhao Mengsheng was a company commander, the actual command tasks of the company were all pressed on the instructor Liang Sanxi.
Suddenly, a cannonball fell to Zhao Mengsheng's side, and Liang Sanxi did not say a word, but pounced on the shell, sacrificed himself, and saved Zhao Mengsheng. Liang Sanxi's sacrifice had a great relationship with Zhao Mengsheng's soft flesh.
At this moment, Zhao Mengsheng finally woke up. This is the battlefield, weakness is not allowed here, and anyone's weakness will cause the sacrifice of others. But the instructor never blamed him, Liang Sanxi had just gotten married, a veteran who could have retired but chose to go to the battlefield.
Now, he had turned into a pool of meat paste.
At this moment, the guilt, hatred, and anger in Zhao Mengsheng's heart all turned into a rain of bullets that tilted onto the Vietnamese devils.
After the tempering of the battlefield, Zhao Mengsheng finally got rid of weakness and became a real warrior.
Among them, there is also a small episode. A young soldier who was only 17 years old, he called himself Little Beijing. During the battle, he fired a "rocket" but a "dud" bomb. Instead of killing the enemy, he was killed by the enemy.
His true identity is that of the division commander's son.
And the hot-tempered Henan soldiers, the gun platoon leader Jin Kailai, in order to cut a few sugar canes and quench the thirst of the soldiers, was killed by a mine planted by the Vietnamese devils.
Although Jin Kailai usually had a bad mouth and a bad temper, he was very brave on the battlefield. After his sacrifice, there was no suicide note in his pocket, only a bill. It was money he owed to other warriors. It was an era of extreme poverty, and in the ranks of grassroots fighters, debt was almost universal, nothing more than borrowing money to subsidize the family.
Jin Kailai
At that time, the treatment of soldiers was not good.
When Lang Shan was conquered, the PLA soldiers opened the Vietnamese warehouse and saw that all the weapons inside were aided by China, and all the grain inside was aided by China. China was kind enough to give Vietnam grain and weapons, and in the end, the Vietnamese devils turned their guns at themselves.
The wrath of the warrior can be imagined. A big fire burned the mountain to the ground.
At the end of the story, the division commander has no son, the instructor's wife has no husband, Jin Kailai's children have no father, and Zhao Mengsheng is no longer stupid and has become a real soldier.
Through this war, it shows that when the times were facing a great turning point, under the complicated hearts of the people, Chinese people's liberation army fought an extremely difficult war.
Some high-level people who have seized power do not want to sacrifice for the country anymore. Although most officers and men are dissatisfied with their lives, in the face of the great national righteousness, they are willing to put aside the unsatisfactory life and go out to fight for the country. Of course, the high wind and bright festival of the division commander in the movie represents the loyalty and will of the older generation of soldiers.
To understand the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, you have to see "Chosin Lake", but to understand the counterattack against Vietnam, "Wreath Under the Mountain" is a monumental work in Chinese war movies!
When faced with life-or-death choices, everyone has a selfish side. But those who are willing to sacrifice themselves to achieve nation and country are superheroes that we can never forget!
