The real Eighth Route Army veteran** is not very similar to the TV series.
At present, there are many TV dramas about anti-Japanese themes, but in these works, there are obvious differences between the image of the Eighth Route Army and the actual history. In the TV series, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are neatly dressed, and the female Eighth Route even wears makeup and exquisite hairstyles. In fact, the Eighth Route Army was in an extremely difficult situation at that time, and there was basically no superfluous military uniforms, and many soldiers' clothing had been damaged. It is impossible for a female Eighth Route Army soldier to have the time and conditions to wear makeup, let alone a hairstyle.
This is a real female soldier of the Eighth Route Army, sitting on the ground, eating simple coarse grains with simple utensils. They wear plain cloth shoes and sometimes even straw sandals. During the arduous march and battle, they had no chance to take care of their appearance. The long hours of outdoor life have made their ** rough, which is in stark contrast to the delicate skin shown in the TV series. As for the hairstyle, just tie it up casually with a headband.
The two soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were intently studying the captured loot, which seemed to be the command knife of a Japanese devil. The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army usually carried broadswords, and once they ran out of bullets, they would hold on to their blades and engage in white-knuckle combat. Their shoes often leaked toes, but after a long march, the soles of their feet had grown calluses, so they no longer felt pain when they walked. And modern actors are difficult to wear such shoes, and they can be full of blisters after walking for a day.
Another photo shows the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army standing in a training position, with a machine gun on the ground. Due to the lack of ammunition in the Eighth Route Army at that time, the live-fire training was quite limited, which caused a lot of trouble in actual combat. Soldiers who lack a lot of ammunition training suffer from certain losses in marksmanship accuracy. Today's military faces a similar problem, and in order to train elite troops, it is necessary to invest a lot of resources in large-scale live-fire training.
On the march, it was difficult to achieve unification in the clothing and ** of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. The fighters at the front were armed with the swords of the Japanese devils, apparently captured from the enemy.
The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were holding a meeting, demonstrating the outstanding performance of our army in political work. Although they lagged behind the enemy in terms of equipment and other aspects, the soldiers showed tenacity and bravery, obedience to commands, and firm beliefs on the battlefield, and became the backbone of the later revolutionary war.
The meeting was held in the open air, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army had long adapted to the life of eating and sleeping in the open air. Through strong leadership and training, many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army quickly rose to become senior commanders of our army.
Today's TV series may over-embellish the marching process of the Eighth Route Army, presenting it as if it was walking in the right direction, with neat teams and new and complete costumes. In fact, at that time, China's road construction was quite backward, most of them were dirt roads, and it was not only difficult to march dozens of miles, but it was not even easy to hold on. The truth is far from being so exquisite.
Many of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army at the meeting suffered from malnutrition, because most of them came from poor families and suffered from a lack of food at home, which affected the healthy development of their bodies. Conditions were very difficult, and it was difficult to improve food unless the battle was won and supplies were captured from the enemy.
These soldiers of the Eighth Route Army show a confident and simple smile, and it is difficult to find similar actors in modern times. Their military uniforms are shabby, exposed to the sun, and tanned over time. This is very different from the new image in the TV series, where the real world marches outdoors for a long time, and there is no sunscreen at all under the exposure of the face.
The majestic warriors with large swords in their hands should be the elite of my Eighth Route Army, burly and tall. Although the military uniform is shabby, it still exudes a strong murderous aura when viewed from a distance.
Summary: Today's directors should delve deeper into history to ensure that they have an in-depth understanding of the clothing, shoes, hats, fabrics and ** of the Eighth Route Army at that time before filming. A batch of brand-new ** and sufficient ammunition should not be presented at will, because the conditions of the Eighth Route Army at that time were very difficult. When choosing actors, you should also avoid choosing actors with fine skin and tender meat, because the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army usually experience long-distance attacks, wind and sun, and it is impossible to be fair-skinned. In addition, the choices of many actors were too fat, which did not match the actual situation at that time, the conditions at that time were very difficult, and there was a shortage of meat, eggs, and milk, how could there be a big-bellied and chubby warrior.
To pay tribute to the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who sacrificed their blood and lives for the founding of New China, we should remember history and cherish the hard-won happy life.
