A few days ago, the Yimeng Evening News consulted the official Weibo of the "Movie Changjin Lake": "In the movie, the places of origin of "Zhang Xiaoshan" and "Lei Suisheng" are linyi, and the scene of "Lei Gong" humming "Yimeng Mountain Minor" makes the children of Yimeng burst into tears. So I want to confirm whether this character is really someone, or is it based on a martyr? We hope you can help us answer some of the stories between "Chosin Lake" and Yimeng Mountain. ”
On October 10, the official blog of "Changjin Lake" replied: "One of the archetypal characters of Lei Gong in the film is Kong Qingsan, a first-class combat hero born in Jinan, Shandong, whose hometown is set in the Yimeng Mountain area of Shandong Province, which originates from the tribute to the old revolutionary area of Yimeng and the spirit of Yimeng, and the spirit of fighting against the world and the spirit of the great War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea are in the same vein, and are all valuable spiritual wealth of the sons and daughters of China." ”
In the movie, Lei Gong, the commander of the "Interspersed 7 Company" artillery platoon played by the famous actor Hu Jun, risked his life to drive a car to introduce the US bombers into his camp in order to cover his comrades-in-arms, but Lei Gong himself unfortunately died.
Kong Qingsan, one of the prototypes of Lei Gong in reality, used his body as a gun mount on the battlefield of Chosin Lake. His deeds are far more magnificent than Lei Gong in the movie.
Kong Qingsan was born in 1926 to a poor peasant family in Wangshe Renzhuang, Licheng District, Jinan City, Shandong Province. Due to his poor family, Kong Qingsan did not go to school, and at the age of seven or eight, he followed his parents to work in the fields.
In those years, it was the chaotic situation of soldiers and horses, fire and wolf smoke. Although Kong Qingsan's parents were honest and responsible, most of the remuneration earned in a year's hard work was looted by the landlord's old wealth.
When kong Qingsan was a child, he witnessed how his family was bullied by the bullies of the goblins, so the idea of "joining the army to fight bad guys" took root in Kong Qingsan's heart.
In 1948, Kong Qingsan, who was already 22 years old, was arrested by the Kuomintang. In the same year, the Eastern Front Corps of the East China Field Army commanded by Tan Zhenlin prepared to launch a comprehensive strategic counteroffensive centered on the county seat of Weixian County, Shandong.
Wang Yaowu, commander of the Kuomintang Second Appeasement District, reduced his forces and strengthened the defense from Yanzhou to Tai'an. Due to the lack of troops in the Kuomintang, they went door to door to arrest Zhuang Ding.
Kong Qingsan had long heard of the decay within the Kuomintang, and the leading cadres only knew that they were greedy for pleasure, and he was not willing to work for the Kuomintang at all.
No way, due to the compulsion of the situation, Kong Qingsan was forced to put on the Kuomintang uniform, but secretly bide the opportunity to join the People's Liberation Army led by the Chinese Communist Party.
Kong Qingsan
In April 1948, the Ninth Column of the East China Field Army launched the Battle of Weixian under the leadership of commander Nie Fengzhi. The battle annihilated 46,000 enemy and won a victory of great significance.
After the People's Liberation Army conquered weixian county, Kong Qingsan immediately joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
Because he learned first-hand artillery techniques from the Kuomintang army, kong Qingsan was assigned as a gunner in a 92 infantry artillery company under the 27th Army of the Ninth Column of Huaye as a gunner.
After joining the People's Liberation Army, Kong Qingsan followed the large troops to participate in the Battle of Jinan, the Battle of Huaihai, and the Battle of Crossing the River. In 1949, Kong Qingsan honorably joined the Communist Party of China.
After the founding of New China, kong Qingsan's 27th Army came under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Corps of the East China Field Army and was stationed in the Jiangnan region.
In June 1950, the Korean War broke out, and in November of the same year, the Ninth Corps sent the 20th, 26th and 27th Armies to fight in Korea.
Kong Qingsan also joined the Chinese Volunteer Army, served as the commander of the 92nd Artillery Company of the 80th Division of the 27th Army, threw himself into the second phase of the Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and carried out the task of blocking the eastern front of the Korean battlefield. (i.e. the Battle of Chosin Lake)
On November 27, 1950, the 9th Corps of the Volunteer Army, under the command of General Song Shilun, came to the Singung-ri area of Chosin-ri, South Hamgyong Province, North Korea to launch a battle to encircle and annihilate american troops.
The 80th Division was primarily responsible for annihilating the remnants of the American army stationed in the Xinxingli area, which was part of the 31st Regiment (Polar Bear Regiment), the main force of the 7th Infantry Division.
The third squad of Kong Qing was assigned to the 8th Company of Sharp Knife Infantry of the main attack force to carry out surprise attacks and cover the advance of the troops.
Due to the incorrect feedback from the volunteer headquarters, the commander of the 80th Division mistakenly thought that the total strength of the US troops stationed in the Xinxingli area did not exceed one battalion. In fact, the Polar Bear Regiment is a reinforced regiment, equipped with a field artillery battalion, and the firepower is extremely fierce.
At 10:00 p.m. on November 27, 1950, the 27th Volunteer Corps concentrated five regiments and launched a general offensive against the 7th Infantry Division of the Xinxing Limei Infantry, tearing the American defense line to pieces.
Under the cover of large troops, Kong Qingsan and the 8th Company of Sharp Knife Infantry, as well as other brother units, carried out interspersed detour tasks. Because Kong Qingsan was detouring from the south of Xinxingli Village, he was fiercely blocked by the field artillery battalion of the US 31st Regiment.
The battle was fierce, and the 8th Infantry Company suffered heavy casualties and formed a confrontation with the enemy. Kong Qingsan knew that this battle must be decided quickly.
Because at that time, there was a group of American troops fleeing from the ditch that were massing in Xinxingli, and if the U.S. troops were allowed to converge in Xinxingli, the consequences would be very serious.
Therefore, Kong Qingsan resolutely pushed the infantry cannon with a killing radius of 25 meters to a small post only 20 meters away from the target, and immediately built a simple fortification on the ground.
However, the temperature in the Xinxingli area plummeted to minus 40 degrees Celsius, the ground was as hard as rock, and it was impossible to build fortifications in a short period of time with sapper shovels and other simple equipment.
Just when he was at a loss, Kong Qingsan suddenly found that there was a small dirt bag on his left. Turning over the small dirt bag is a frozen stone. The appearance of this stone made Kong Qingsan overjoyed, because the infantry gun and the ground had an inverted triangle shape.
The stone was so hard that it could withstand the lower end of the infantry gun, and then let the two warriors top the left and right ends of the infantry gun, forming a simple triangular firing state.
Kong Qingsan and two other fighters quickly pushed the cannon over and mounted it on this small dirt bag to prepare for firing. However, this small post area is not large, and although the infantry gun has support at both the front and rear ends, the right bracket is suspended and cannot be fired at all.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and a delay of one second means that the comrades-in-arms are a little more dangerous. At the moment of the first attack, Kong Qingsan did not hesitate, he climbed to the bottom of the small post, pressed his shoulder against the right bracket of the infantry gun, and resolutely ordered the soldiers to resolutely fire. Since the target is so close, there is no need to align at all.
With the sound of shell explosions, the fire points of the US troops were quickly destroyed, annihilating more than 40 US troops on the spot, and the road of the commando forward was also opened.
Unfortunately, the battle hero Kong Qingsan was hit by the recoil of the infantry artillery, and his abdomen was unfortunately hit by shell shrapnel, and the blood flowed continuously. Coupled with extremely poor medical conditions in the wild, he soon died of excessive bleeding.
In order to recognize Kong Qingsan's heroic deeds, in 1952, the headquarters of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army posthumously awarded Kong Qingsan the title of "First Class Combat Hero of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army". On the Memorial Tower of the Volunteer Martyrs on the shore of Chosin Lake in the Gaima Plateau of North Korea, kong Kyung-san's name is still preserved.
In the 1960s, the local military support office and related units in Jinan City found the families of the martyr Kong Qingsan and awarded them a plaque with the words "People's Heroes". This plaque has a history of more than 60 years and is now treasured in the home of Kong Qingsan's nephew Kong Fanqiang.
Speaking of this, the deeds of Kong Qingsan, one of the prototypes of Lei Gong, have been introduced. Lei Gong in the movie, whose real name is Lei Suisheng, is an experienced veteran who has a deep friendship with the Wu family brothers played by Wu Jing and Yi Qianxi.
At the end of the film, interspersed with 7 companies annihilated the headquarters of the US 31st Regiment and captured the polar bear flag. However, American bombers followed.
In order to protect his comrades-in-arms, Lei Gong alone put the hot identification bullet on the car, drove the identification bullet to the US tank group, only to be hit by the enemy shell, and finally the whole person was blurred with blood and flesh.
As Lei Gong was dying, he muttered to himself, "I'm so cold, I'm in so much pain, don't leave me alone." He also hummed two sentences of "Yimeng Mountain Minor", and the scene made countless Chinese people moved.
Although Lei Gong in the movie is not an absolute protagonist, his appearance has left a very deep impression on the audience. In addition to Lei Gong, there is also a character in the movie "Changjin Lake" "Zhang Xiaoshan", who is also from Shandong.
The reason why Lei Gong's hometown is set in the Yimeng region of Shandong Province, which we mentioned at the beginning, is from the tribute to the old revolutionary area of Yimeng and the spirit of Yimeng.
Marshal Chen Yi also said: "I will never forget the people of Yimeng, who fed the revolution with millet and pushed victory across the Yangtze River with a cart." ”
As the official blog of the movie "Changjin Lake" said, Linyi is an old revolutionary area, and countless heroic stories that can be sung and wept have emerged. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, the First Column of the Eighth Route Army, the Headquarters of the 115th Division, the Headquarters of the New Fourth Army, and the Headquarters of the East China Field Army were stationed in the Yimeng area for a long time.
The well-known "Yimeng Mountain Minor" represents the spirit of perseverance and endless life.
Many people have asked, Wu Qianli, who "interspersed 7 companies" in "Chosin Lake", has a prototype to follow, why does the film not follow the real names of these heroes, but invent some fictional characters?
The answer is simple, because Wu Qianli and Wu Wanli, including the characters of Lei Gong, Pinghe, and Zhang Xiaoshan, do not refer to only one person. For example, although Lei Gong takes Kong Qingsan as the prototype, he also represents thousands of heroes who resisted us and aided Korea.
The film and television works show the great spirit of every volunteer soldier who participated in the war, fearless of the fierce artillery fire of the powerful enemy, and vowed to die to defend the country.
Hats off to the heroes! Although the hero is gone, the spirit is always there! Now this is the time of the world, as they wished!
