The arms with the highest mortality rate in the Korean War were machine gunners, artillery and messengers (signals). The mortality of messengers was sometimes even higher than the first two.
The messengers are equipped with a handheld radio communication device imitated from Motorola, which weighs only 3kg and has a maximum communication distance of 15 kilometers. Yu Shuchang, the prototype of the movie "Heroes and Sons", used this type of product, but in the movie, for
For an artistic treatment, the actor chose to carry a 71-type walkie-talkie weighing 16kg.
Wu Qianli doesn't need it here, because he still has to carry Bobosa over mountains and ridges. He is too inhuman to carry 16kg of equipment.
The entire Cheorwon Blockade Battle was like this: the entire force needed to build lines of defense in front of the US military to slow down the advancement of the opponent's armored forces. Because the main force had not yet withdrawn at that time, there was a risk of being surrounded from both sides. The US military was accustomed to peacetime
Push, they must knock out all the firepower points on the road before they are willing to continue the attack. At this point, they are very patient.
So Wu Qianli's mission was different from that of ordinary messengers. He was to contact a certain regiment in the rear. The regiment rushed from Seoul to the front line and was equipped with a large number of mortars, howitzers and Katyushas. Their tactics were
After obtaining the coordinate point, he releases a large amount of ammunition towards the target in a short period of time, then retreats frantically, and builds a defense line to look for opportunities next time. Therefore, for a period of time, Wu Qianli is safer than his comrades. When he turns back, the danger begins
Increasingly, all the way to the front line is also the most dangerous.
There is a great possibility that Wu Qianli will not need to turn back, because all members of his original 7th company are likely to be sacrificed in the blocking battle, and local armored units have been found and are ready to meet the enemy. This is what company commander Tan Ziwei could have imagined.
, so Tan Zi arranged for Wu Qianli to do this job, hoping that he would bombard him wildly after getting in touch and not come back.
The Cheorwon Blockade was not only about the infantry fighting hard, but actually the artillery that did the most damage to the enemy was the artillery that got the points. The infantry played a delaying role. If you see a marketing article that doesn't mention at all the volunteers' efforts to mobilize for this blockade.
A large amount of artillery fire must be nonsense. How can you intercept tanks and armored vehicles with rifle bullets alone?
However, this firepower is nothing compared to the US military.
As for the U.S. military, the person who directed this war was Van Fleet. This person was considered a standard "firepower winner" because of his habit of using five times the standard ammunition. Van Fleet was a star in the U.S. military, and the media
His darling, historically he worked hard to make headlines while fighting a war, and arranged a simple press conference in the military to report on his combat progress.
Fang Yi used a lot of contrasting lens groups in the film.
Van Fleet was named by Ridgway as the combat commander, equipped with more than 50,000 troops, more than 300 tanks and more than 1,600 artillery pieces; our department was ordered to delay even if the entire army was wiped out, all their belongings were a
There were 15,000 people and nearly 10,000 wounded and support personnel, as well as more than 200 cannons, howitzers... and no aircraft or tanks.
At the press conference, Van Fleet declared to the media, "We have Newman's elite soldiers. These are a group of good young men who are not afraid of death. We can also fight in and out, and we will definitely beat the shit out of the xx on the opposite side..."; Seven consecutive games remain.
The people below silently entered the position and waited quietly. In front of them were a large number of US tanks and infantry. As the night got darker, they stopped and camped here.
The US military does not want to fight at night and is afraid of fighting at night. At night, it arranges its armored vehicles and tanks in a circle, with the infantry sleeping peacefully in the middle.
The flash of the camera was as bright as daylight, and Van Fleet showed his white teeth and posed; Wu Qianli used the weak light of the Type 50 signal light to move forward along the mountain, looking around vigilantly.
This scene was originally very dull, but thanks to the editing and Fang Yi's acting skills, the audience didn't find it boring. The emotional breaking point came when Wu Qianli started to deal with the "confidential" information, and he found that it was all Tan Zi's work.
Regarding his observation records, Tan Ziwei let him handle it alone now, which also means that Tan Ziwei completely trusts him, and it also means that Tan Ziwei and others have the consciousness of sacrifice.
This is also a choice Wu Qianli faces. If Tan Ziwei dies, no one will know Wu Qianli's secret. He can "reasonably" not return to the front line and die. Tan Ziwei has already asked for it. Now think about him
As I said before, "One generation has its own mission, each generation has its own responsibility." I also asked when victory will be achieved. Isn't this just pointing to the five thousand miles? You have already died without regrets.
War is not your business, it is my generation's business.
Since you said we won, we did win. We can win without you. Even if you sacrifice me today, we can win. Individuals play little role in such a situation, and you can't do much if you come back.
My child, you should read your book and play your piano.
Fang Yi's treatment here is very clever. Some directors may have used slow motion to stir up emotion, or even made a letter to Wu Qianli and read it with tears streaming down his face... The movie first gave Wu Qianli a few seconds.
The close-up of the eyes showed obvious changes from shock to excitement. Then all the audience saw that the movie screen suddenly shook violently! It was like a person running at full speed, which means that this moment of five thousand miles
The only choice is to go all out.
He finally contacted the regiment headquarters and reported the coordinates to the regiment headquarters. In the night, large-caliber howitzers let out deafening roars, and Katyusha rockets were like meteors, dragging out long tail flames.
The sky tore through the sky, and they all smashed into the steel castle of the US military. The US military camp instantly turned into a sea of fire. After an artillery shell hit the ammunition depot, a mushroom rose into the sky, and the dazzling light turned this feast of artillery fire.
Pushed to the peak. Immediately afterwards, the charge horn sounded, which these people will never forget. Volunteer soldiers were charging from all directions, including the Seventh Company.
More than ten kilometers away, Wu Qianli completed the mission. He was not as smart as Tan Ziwei expected. Instead, he moved forward in the direction of the artillery fire, passing through deserted villages, through bare tree trunks, through ruins, and through flares.
A quick shadow was drawn on his face, and he looked forward. The blazing flames burned violently in front of him, and Wu Qianli's eyes were bright.
He found Tan Ziwei who was suppressed and pulled Tan Ziwei out. Tan Ziwei gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you back?"
Wu Qianli asked: "Where are the others?"
"They're all dead." Tan Ziwei gestured to his legs, "Run quickly, before it's too late, give me a grenade... No, can you contact the regiment headquarters? Give me the communicator and wait for them to arrive.
I will report the location and I can bomb them again."
The sky gradually turned white, and the branches of the bombed and scorched vegetation suddenly stretched out. Within sight, there was a bunch of strange yellow flowers. It was very obvious in the gray and black world of Cheorwon in 1951. It was Wu Qianli
The flower planted in 2009 is also his burial place and his tombstone.
