<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" >from "First Grade Girl" to "Xia Boyang" - the volunteer army watched movies on the 38th line</h1>
In the past two days, I went to Jinan and met an "old friend" who I loved very much, that is, Li Jide, a veteran of the volunteer army.
Pu fan-like hands, Hong Zhong-like voice - 87-year-old veteran Li Jide, with the typical cheerful and tall figure of Shandong people.
It hurt to pinch people's hands, but I hadn't seen him for a long time, and he was really happy to see that the old man was still so healthy. The old man wore a special military uniform this time, where did this come from?
The old man told me that I had recently stood guard and become a sentry, of course, I had to wear a military uniform.
stand...... hillock? Which of our troops needs 87-year-old veterans to stand guard?
It turned out that this was a military uniform of our army's airborne troops. The old man had gone to Wuhan before, and the troops there had gone to stand on a guard. This unit is now the first airborne army in our country, and it has an indissoluble relationship with the old man. 70 years ago, the old man followed this unit across the Yalu River and fought a vicious battle that shook the world - Shangganling. At that time, there was also a comrade-in-arms who was 5 years older than him, and his name was Huang Jiguang.
Li Jide was carried down from the battlefield and carried three guns and seven wounds; and Huang Jiguang, forever fixed his life on Shangganling.
The old man wanted to be an old comrade-in-arms, so he went to the old army. I guessed it.
At this point, I suddenly remembered something. The first time I met the old man, he told me very clearly that Huang Jiguang was later called a "Matrosov-style hero." Such a difficult foreign name, But Elder Li said it very fluently, which made me a little strange, the old man saw it, said that I remember this name clearly, when I watched his movie with Huang Jiguang.
The famous Soviet director Leonid Lukov did make a film that reflected his deeds, called "Ordinary Soldier", starring the Soviet meritorious actor Vladimir Barasov. This film was very successful, it was introduced and screened by many countries in the red camp at that time, and china was no exception, but...
Watching a movie with Huang Jiguang? Where to watch movies?
In North Korea, of course.
This answer surprised me. When we think of volunteers, we think of climbing the ice and lying on the snow, which is extremely arduous. Could it be that on the battlefield of Korea, where bullets are pouring down, our soldiers still have a chance to watch movies?!
It turned out that I was a bit lonely, and it was not a legend that the volunteers watched movies on the Korean battlefield.
In the early days of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, in the face of a powerful and inexperienced crazy opponent, the supply line of the Volunteer Army underwent a severe test, and the front-line troops also had very difficult moments. However, it is precisely such a severe test that has forced our army to make great efforts in logistical work.
As far as we know, from the atomic bomb to Huawei, Chinese once serious, seem to be omnipotent, and the same is true in the face of the supply crisis on the Korean battlefield. After the five battles, as China and the United States entered a state of confrontation, our army's increasingly complete logistics system sent more and more materials to the front, and although the conditions were still difficult, they were always improving.
Chang Xiangyu performed on the front line.
The material conditions are improving, and the same is true of the spiritual level, including artists such as Chang Xiangyu and Hou Baolin, who also appeared at the forefront of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. With the continuous strengthening of our military's air defense forces, the attacks of US aircraft have also become much more fearful. Thus, after 1952, between battles, there were cases of troops playing movies on the front line. For example, in Shangganling, before the two sides went to war on all fronts, both the volunteer army and the American army played movies on the front line.

Interestingly, the contents released by the two sides also have similarities, our army released "Xia Boyang" and "Ordinary Soldiers", and the US military released the documentary "Strong and Unyielding" that landed in Normandy, which are all films with heroic significance. The U.S. military recalled that whenever such a film was played, the bored soldiers would whistle everywhere, but "the educational effect was still there."
At certain times, the screening site was sometimes within the range of artillery fire on the front line. In such places, there will be a tacit understanding between the two sides, and there will be no places where movies will be played. Speculating on the reason, in the confrontation period, the WAR-weary mood of the US military became more and more obvious, and they did not want to be uncomfortable - after all, the US military also had to watch movies, and in the later stages of the war, the shells of the volunteer army were thicker than buckets, and they could not eat it twice towards the MOVIE screening point of the US army.
When confronted on the battlefield, there are sometimes seemingly incredible tacit understandings. For example, during the self-defense counterattack in southern Xinjiang, both sides were very consistent not to fight each other's female soldiers, but the reasons were not very different.
Our army does not fight because the other side and France and the United States, we have been fighting for decades, there are many widows, a cannon down to make trouble will create a few orphans, Chinese can not bear it.
The other side is because if you hit a cat ear hole with a female soldier, it is like stabbing a honeycomb, which will attract all the Chinese boys on the mountain to scream, and it is impossible to count without taking a cannonball to plough the opposite hill several times...
As the confrontation phase extended, beyond the brutal war, the film slowly became a rare entertainment for the volunteer troops under the conditions possible.
Even on the front lines, some light-hearted films are screened, such as "First Grade Girl".
"First Grade Girl" is a 1948 Soviet film, and its story is incompatible with the Korean battlefield.
Is this true?
Seeing that I was a little suspicious, a descendant of the Volunteer Army who talked to me about it sent me such a picture.
In this photo of the Volunteer Army's 46th Army on the 38th line, you can see that the film team trailer is conveniently and clearly written on the top left with "First-grade girls released today."
I think that behind this is not only the reason for the troops to relax between battles, but also the vision of the officers and men on the front line for the future.
And the friend who gave me the picture also asked me – do you see any special people in the photos?
They were all facing away from us, and even if they were special, I wouldn't recognize them.
Notice that there is a female soldier standing in the front, this is our projectionist.
woman...... Projectionist?
This surprised me. It should be known that there are indeed female soldiers in the volunteer army, mainly in the health and secrecy departments, and the fighting on the front line is very cruel, and the shadow of female soldiers should not be found in most departments. Although the film projectionist sounds like a literary job, the projectionists on the front line of the battlefield need to carry dozens of pounds of projectors and films up and down the mountain, and the average girl may not be able to do it, right?
I didn't quite believe it, so the other party sent another photo over - this time I couldn't believe it.
The other side told me that this female film projectionist of the 46th Army of the Volunteer Army was named Wang Xiaoying. There is a special story about her presence on the front lines.
It turned out that Wang Xiaoying's father was the first generation of film projectionists of the 46th Army. Before the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he was originally a film projectionist, and after the battle began, he went to the front line with the troops.
So, how did Father Wang give this job to his daughter?
This is because Father Wang played a movie in the volunteer army, witnessed the scene of the battlefield, and felt that the movie was after all a rear work, and he was a seven-foot boy who should go to the trenches with his comrades-in-arms to fight. So he gave up his job and decided to go to the front to fight.
But playing movies is a technical job, and the chief is reluctant to let him go to the front line, so he says you are leaving, who is the job of playing movies entrusted to?
Father Wang said, my daughter will too.
So, 16-year-old Wang Xiaoying went to the front line and became a film projectionist for the volunteer army.
I see.
Suddenly I feel a regret - in these photos, our female projectionist Wang Xiaoying left us with a back or side face, can we see what a heroic female projectionist looks like on the battlefield?
Can you send a look?
Send one to see.
Do you have such photos?
Send one?
Online etc...
wait......
……
Suddenly, the other party sent this one.
Another one...
Old Sa, did you get it? What do you think?
goddess.
After half a day, I replied.
But no, our female projectionist Wang Xiaoying at that time must have been a goddess in the hearts of the warriors.
