Released in 2013, "Hunting wolves in the mountains" is a spy war genre film directed by Li Yanting and starring Hou Yansong, Lu Qianwen, song Ziqiao and so on. It mainly tells that in 1937, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated in the joint resistance against Japan, and the Kuomintang National Defense Committee was forced to agree to release the CCP political prisoners under pressure at home and abroad. The deputy company commander of a certain unit of the Eighth Route Army was ordered to lead his troops to Yuncheng, Shanxi, to wrestle with the agents of the Central Command and greet the story of the nine underground party comrades who were released and escorted back to the base area.
This is a wonderful spy film not to be missed, a series of fascinating designs on how to find the traitor, the details are carefully handled, the logic is rigorous, and it can withstand layers of scrutiny. No matter how good the disguise of the traitor, the wolf will always reveal his wolf nature, which is also the wonderful and clever point of this film.
Teng Guoqing, an underground party member, is the focus of the film, who once lurked in the Xuchang police station as a secretary and may have come into contact with a senior agent of the Central Unification who lurked in Yan'an, code-named "White Fox". If Teng Guoqing returns to Yan'an, the identity of the white fox will be seriously threatened. In order to protect the safety of the agents lurking in Yan'an, the Central Command specifically ordered teng Guoqing to be removed. However, the order of Boss Xu of the Central Command to execute Teng Guoqing and the order of the Ministry of National Defense to release people arrived at Yuncheng, Shanxi at the same time.
To execute Teng Guoqing immediately by carrying out Boss Xu's order is to disobey the order of the National Defense Commission, to sabotage the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists, and to sabotage the anti-Japanese united front. The Kuomintang Central Unification Station in Yuncheng, Shanxi, was under pressure and had no choice but to release people. Mingli was released, but secretly in order to get rid of Teng Guoqing's trouble and avoid the high-level agents lurking in important departments of the CCP from being exposed, he used another Central Unification agent lurking in the underground party organization at any cost and sent an Einsatzgruppen to pursue along the way. The exciting storyline unfolds.
The film has made layers of preparation, the character treatment is very neat, the character of Jiao Kui has a very grounded combat experience, calm, calm, in the danger of no backup, can make accurate judgments, and use appropriate strategies to reverse the situation. He had a bit of a heroic temperament of Li Yunlong, and was demoted from a regimental commander to a deputy company commander because he was unwilling to change into a Kuomintang uniform at the beginning of the reunification of the Kuomintang and the Communists against Japan. The division commander, who was well aware of His military prowess, named him to carry out the task of transporting nine underground party members to the political department of the division.
The escort squad should be equipped with 50 people, all guns should be replaced, 150 rounds of ammunition each for hand grabbing and rifle grabbing, four grenades for each person, four Czech machine guns and four flower machine guns, each with three hundred rounds of ammunition. Unexpectedly, the leader of the regimental headquarters, who had always cut the door, did not discount at all, and happily agreed to all the conditions. This also doomed the task of escorting the nine underground parties this time not to be simple, but a difficult special task.
The escort road is not very peaceful, and the pursuing soldiers behind them are well-equipped and numerous, and they can't get rid of them no matter how they chase them. Teng Guoqing was seriously injured and in danger, and he lacked medical treatment and urgently needed surgery. In the deep mountain forest, the guide impeller died inexplicably, the life-saving medicine box was tampered with, and the secret road signs were made on the march, and all kinds of signs showed that there were traitors in this team. In this team, no one but the soldiers he brought with him did not believe that he could successfully lead the team to complete the escort task? Can you catch out this hateful adulterer? These difficulties are placed in front of Qiu Kui, how to solve them?
No matter how cunning the fox is, there are times when its tail is exposed. If a person who can't shoot a gun has a calluse on the index finger of his left hand, if he is not a person who often touches the gun and pulls the trigger, how can there be? If it is not specially trained, how can it be possible to accurately discern the direction without the sun in the deep mountains and dense forests? The infidelity loomed, and Miao Kui found all kinds of clues, but he has been suffering from no evidence. How to cleverly layout the internal traitor to find the evidence, but also let the audience be very surprised but can not pick out the fault, this has to be said to be the film's elaborate plot, but also the most interesting place.
