As is known to all, at the end of the 1970s, the Vietnamese authorities continued to create bloodshed on the Sino-Vietnamese border, encroaching on large areas of our territory in Yunnan Province, constantly provoking our country and posing a serious threat to world peace. In view of this, China immediately made a decision, quickly dispatched the iron fist of the People's Liberation Army, and launched a counterattack war in self-defense against Vietnam, which promptly curbed Vietnam's arrogance and prompted it to change its course.
How thrilling is the counterattack in self-defense against Vietnam? Maybe a movie can tell you. The film, called Operation Lightning, is a war film jointly produced by Yindu Agency Co., Ltd. and Bayi Film Studio. Co-directed by Zhu Yan and Liang Zhiqiang, Du Zhenqing, Chu Zhibo, Zhao Xiaorui, Sun Haiying, Sun Chengbin, Zhu Xinyun and others participated. The film tells the story of a reconnaissance detachment of the Chinese army that went deep behind the enemy lines of the Vietnamese army and destroyed the Vietnamese heavy artillery positions.
Undoubtedly, the background of "Operation Lightning" is a counterattack against Vietnamese self-defense: at that time, the Vietnamese ace Sixth Division used Eagle's Mouth Peak as a natural barrier to use the strange "mysterious artillery group" to block our army, which seriously frustrated our army's recovery operation. A certain division of our army decided to organize a reconnaissance detachment to infiltrate behind enemy lines of the Vietnamese army to eliminate the "mysterious artillery group." The reconnaissance detachment, code-named "Lightning," led the resourceful Jiang Yuan, the thunder-breaking sharp soldier Lin Xiaoliang, the artillery position observation expert Fang Yongping, the astute Li Jiuming, and the brave Gao Tianhu to set off overnight under the cover of powerful artillery fire. Nguyen Hung, the commander of the Vietnamese special agents, was trained at the Kunming Military Academy and was familiar with our army's combat methods. He learned from the intelligence that the reconnaissance team had infiltrated, and ordered to strengthen the vigilance and wait in strict formation.
The reconnaissance detachment sneaked into the front of the Vietnamese position, escaped the Vietnamese pursuit, and plunged straight into the enemy's hinterland. Gao Tianliang, who covered the advance of the reconnaissance team, and Liang Guozhu encountered a female Yuemei who was being chased and killed by the Vietnamese army, and the two rescued Yuemei and chased after the reconnaissance team together. Just as Liu Kaihua and Jiang Yuanzhi seized the quartermaster car and led the reconnaissance detachment through the bridgehead fortress, Ruan Xiong and his troops arrived and launched a fierce chase on the winding mountain road. Liu Kaihua decided to win in danger and climbed the steep Eagle's Mouth Peak. Yue Mei caused the birds to fly in shock, exposing their whereabouts, and the reconnaissance team fell into the "death trap" under Ruan Xiongbu. The front is a minefield, and there are pursuing soldiers in the back, and the situation is dangerous. Lin Xiaoliang resolutely used his flesh and blood body to open up a blood road for his teammates.
The reconnaissance team retreated to a natural cave, and the Vietnamese army attacked with Molotov cocktails and smoke bombs in an attempt to force a landing. Liu Kaihua was ready to command the reconnaissance detachment to break through. At this time, Yue Mei revealed the face of a Vietnamese agent and seized a gun to force the reconnaissance team to surrender. Liu Kaihua subdued Yuemei, who escaped from the cave and was mistakenly killed by Ruan Xiong. Jiang Yuan died while covering the transfer of the crowd. Li Jiuming sacrificed his life to protect communication equipment in hand-to-hand combat in the battlefield.
The time for the general attack has arrived, and the "mysterious artillery group" of the Vietnamese army has also been discovered. Liu Kaihua was using a walkie-talkie to report the direction of the artillery group to the division headquarters; Ruan Xiong suddenly appeared, and after a life-and-death struggle, Ruan Xiong was killed. Liu Kaihua used a walkie-talkie to direct our army to open fire and destroy the "mysterious artillery group" of the Vietnamese army. The Vietnamese shouted in panic: "Chinese is coming!" "In a hurry, our army took advantage of the victory to pursue and regain territory.
