Among the war-themed films created by domestic directors, the theme of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea is unique, presenting the audience with a brilliant, tragic and exciting history of the country and national spirit. Due to the long-term need to consider the relationship with the big nose, the film and television works of this period have taken a cautious attitude towards this "forbidden area" for a long time.
In recent years, due to the fact that the two sides completely "tore their faces", works on the theme of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea have flourished, among which works such as "King Kong River", "Changjin Lake", and "Crossing the Yalu River" can be described as excellent works. The latest drama of the same genre "Scout Heroes" has once again attracted attention, focusing on the special arms in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea - Scouts, and praising their great spirit of overcoming difficulties and fearless sacrifice in the implementation of special tasks.
In the eyes of military fans, the scouts during the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea are equivalent to the special forces in today's army, and are known for their unparalleled bravery, sharp eyes, vigorous skills, and superb abilities in various technologies. They are proficient in operating all kinds of individual soldiers, driving all kinds of vehicles, and are good at radio technology, blasting technology and counter-reconnaissance technology. At that time, scouts were known as the "king of soldiers" in the volunteer army, a sharp blade for overcoming difficulties, and also the confidence and hole cards in the hearts of leaders at all levels.
The plot timeline of "Scout Heroes" is set in January 1951, just as the fourth campaign of the Volunteer Army begins. Prior to this, the Volunteer Army successfully achieved the first place under the command of General Peng.
I. Second, the victory of the third battle even recaptured Seoul, while the United ** was defeated and quickly retreated to the south of the 38th parallel. The volunteers of this period behaved so valiantly that some proudly declared: "You don't have to give us air supremacy, as long as you have enough potatoes to eat, our brave volunteers can drive the Yankees into the sea to feed the fish." ”
The plot of the scout rescuing the captured female art troupe member shown in the plot aroused my curiosity.
I went deep into historical research, only to find that this story has a real prototype, and the story of the rescue of more than a dozen female art troupe members by the volunteers in history is more exciting than many "rescue theme" works in the Big Nose Country.
In the play, more than a dozen members of our army's art troupe were captured by the US army during the retreat, and they fought with the enemy and were finally successfully rescued by our reconnaissance company. The historical prototype of this plot took place during the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, and there is indeed a magnificent story in history of the successful rescue of more than a dozen female art troupe members by the volunteers.
After the outbreak of the Fourth Campaign, the 38th and 50th Armies of our Volunteer Army were tightly guarded on both sides of the Han River on the Western Front. The main force of nearly 200,000 people, including the 42nd Army, and the 230,000 "joint **" commanded by Li Qiwei launched a fierce life-and-death struggle near the 38th parallel.
For the enemy, the 38th parallel was the starting point of their initial offensive and the military and political face. If we are pursued by our volunteers and retreat to the south, we will inevitably lose our face on the ground and be trampled on by our army. Therefore, Ridgway had no choice psychologically, and was well prepared strategically and tactically. He discovered the weakness of our army in logistical replenishment: there was no air supremacy, which led to logistical difficulties, and the fighters could only carry 7 days' rations. So, he quickly developed a "magnetic tactic".
As soon as our troops attacked, Ridgway ordered a retreat, and when the rations carried by our soldiers were depleted, he used mechanized troops to carry out a quick surprise attack. Ridgway's tactics worked, and logistical supplies became more difficult due to the excessively long front of our army's advance to the south. In particular, in the Battle of Toping-ri, our army performed poorly and became one of the rare defeats in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, forcing the troops to urgently retreat.
It is worth noting that in the defensive battle of the Han River, our 50th Army demonstrated a world-class level of defense capability. More than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the entire army fought desperately, and several heroes emerged, who resolutely carried explosive bags and died with the enemy. Despite the heavy weight of the 50th Army, the army commander Zeng Zesheng resolutely refused to retreat, and was finally received by *** after returning to China, and was commended for his heroic performance on both sides of the Han River.
During this urgent retreat operation, the various units quickly left the theater of operations, mainly because of great concerns about the rapid encirclement of the enemy's armored forces, in which the 42 Army was among them.
However, after the retreat of the army to a relatively safe area, an unexpected incident occurred. Army Commander Wu Ruilin received a report that "more than 10 female members of the art troupe failed to break through the encirclement, and it is very likely that they have been captured by the enemy." ”
As a tiger general who had participated in the Long March, Wu Ruilin was well aware of the importance of the 42nd Army, so he immediately reprimanded the leaders who were responsible for collecting troops after the break
Leave the 10 or so female soldiers behind, are you still considered a man? ”
Subsequently, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion of the 42nd Army was ordered to lead a small detachment back to the combat area and launched a life-and-death rescue. Just like Liang Chen, the male protagonist in "Scout Hero", led the scouts to rescue, the scout camp also entered a small forest, where more than 10 female members of the art troupe disappeared last.
The commander of the reconnaissance battalion was distressed without a clue, but suddenly found the enemy's ** line hanging from a wooden pole on the edge of the woods. He immediately ordered the communicator to use walkie-talkies to call for artillery support in the rear, determined to break the enemy's lines of communication.
The ploy worked, and the two rangers walked unsuspectingly to the pole to connect the wires, thinking that our troops had retreated. They did not expect our troops to counterattack so quickly, and soon became prisoners. Through interrogation, it was learned that more than 10 female soldiers of our army's art troupe were imprisoned in the enemy's temporary shelter.
The reconnaissance battalion commander led the squad to quickly rush to the enemy's shelter and found that the big noses were tying our female soldiers hand and foot and struggling desperately, trying to throw them into the large truck compartment.
Luckily it arrived in time! If it had been delayed for another half hour, the enemy might have successfully withdrawn to the camp, which would have completely changed the fate of these 10 or so female soldiers.
This typical example of successful combat shows the feat of our reconnaissance battalion successfully rescuing all the captured female soldiers in just a dozen hours, not only maintaining zero **, but also capturing more than a dozen enemies, creating a brilliant record for our side. This aroused high praise from Commander Wu Ruilin.
However, as soon as they returned to the unit, the 10 or so female soldiers seemed to have changed, living in fear all day long, unable to extricate themselves.
Although we originally thought that the big nose had done some unspeakable bad things, some ** female soldiers soon said that the US military was quite civilized when they captured them and did not do anything excessive.
This detail is also reflected in "Scout Heroes", after our female soldiers were captured, the big nose behaved very civilized, on the contrary, Li Puppeteer's behavior seemed rough. This is also a restoration and respect for the real history.
After learning that the female soldiers were worried because of this "disgraceful experience", Commander Wu Ruilin once again lent leniency and approved the request that this special experience not be recorded in the file, which made the dozen or so female soldiers deeply moved to tears.
Conclusion: In the smoke of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, our army paid a huge price, and 197653 soldiers slept forever in that heroic land, and tens of thousands of them died because of cold and hunger.
Every time Sister Bing witnesses the magnificent scene of the "Ice Sculpture Company", a strong shock swells in her heart. If they had had enough food and warm clothing, they might not have lost so many comrades.
Finally, we would like to pay the highest respect to the great Chinese People's Volunteers and to the great spirit of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea.
