After the MV trailer for the theme song of "Changjin Lake: Shuimen Bridge" was released.
The theme song "I Have Been Here" was praised by countless fans, and then Li Yi was scolded again.
"Director Dog, why the hell do you call this a trailer?"
"I watched Loneliness. Is this a trailer? What's the trailer? What do you think?"
"The trailer is a good preview. It's very flashy. I watched it for a long time and just reminisced about it. Where's the plot of Watergate Bridge?"
"Director Dog is really not a human being. Why don't you just split the movie into two parts? Why don't you even put out a trailer?"
In fact, what netizens say is not unreasonable.
After all, the trailer of "Changjin Lake: Suimen Bridge" is indeed a bit...well, it's not like a trailer, it's purely an MV video!
Of course, there is actually nothing to predict. "Changjin Lake: Shuimen Bridge" is originally the second half of "Changjin Lake". In fact, it still revolves around the people of the Seventh Company to show the battle.
Yes, many people inside have died, but you can’t just release all these things in the trailer, right?
In that case, the scolding will probably be even worse!
Compared with "Changjin Lake", the length of "Changjin Lake: Shuimen Bridge" is actually relatively normal. Excluding the clips of past events, the total duration of "Changjin Lake: Shuimen Bridge" is actually less than 140 minutes.
This is really not a long time for an epic war movie.
Therefore, the film schedule in theaters is better than that of the earlier "Changjin Lake".
After all, a venue can host at least one more show every day.
However, Li Yi had long been accustomed to being scolded by movie fans, and time passed quite quickly amidst the disturbance.
September 30th came in a blink of an eye.
"Changjin Lake: Shuimen Bridge" is about to premiere!
The Capital Military Museum, "Changjin Lake: Shuimen Bridge" still chose to hold its premiere here.
Last year, "Changjin Lake" was a standout during the National Day holiday, setting a new box office record for Chinese-language films.
There are two main points of concern for "Changjin Lake: Shuimen Bridge". One is whether "Changjin Lake" can surpass the previous film "Changjin Lake" and set a new box office record for Chinese-language movies. The other is the success of the "Changjin Lake" series.
What kind of height can the final box office reach?
After the routine interviews at the premiere, the movie was officially screened.
For war movies to be understandable, it is necessary to explain the battlefield situation.
"The retreating enemy forces in Xinxingli are retreating at full speed to Hagaryuuli Airport and regrouping with the 1st U.S. Marine Division."
"We must seize the airport first and cut off the enemy's retreat! To prevent the enemy from escaping from the air, we must eat Smith!"
The Battle of Hajieyuli Airport before the Battle of Shuimen Bridge is about to begin.
On the ice and in the snow, our soldiers trudged forward and headed towards the Jieyuli Airport.
Our army's temporary camp is located twelve kilometers outside Xiajieyuli Airport.
Wu Qianli and his seventh company arrived.
A group of volunteers ran forward in front of them.
"Brother, which army are you from? Where did you come from?" Yu Congrong couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Liutan, 20th Army!" Battalion Commander Zhang of the 20th Army turned around and said.
"what about you?"
"The first attacking group, the seventh interleaving company!"
"We're almost at the airport. There's heavy firepower set up three kilometers away from them. Be careful!"
"You guys should be careful too!"
Battalion Commander Zhang nodded, then turned around and continued to move forward with his troops.
As soon as the camera turned, a familiar face sitting in the car came into view. Anyone who had watched the first "Changjin Lake" would recognize it. This was the person he and Seventh Company had quarreled with at the beginning.
Battalion Commander Yang of the Artillery Battalion.
From the corner of his eye, he spotted Wu Qianli and the Seventh Company, and shouted: "Wu Qianli!"
Although Yu Congrong once had the most violent quarrel with Camp Commander Yang, in fact, when they saw each other, they couldn't help but have happy smiles on their faces.
"Artillery Camp, you are finally here!" Pinghe, who is usually dull, couldn't help shouting happily.
Yu Congrong glanced left and right, with a smile on his face and walked towards Camp Commander Yang: "Captain Yang, I miss you so much, oh, you are here!"
As a result, Battalion Commander Yang couldn't help but throw a snowball at Yu Congrong: "Do you fucking miss me?"
At this time, Wu Qianli also walked up, and the two held their hands tightly together. Wu Qianli couldn't help but said happily: "Here we come!"
He stepped forward, took the cigarette from Camp Commander Yang's mouth, and took a puff.
"The First Marine Division is about to run, and the headquarters ordered us to march day and night!" Battalion Commander Yang said with a smile.
If you can meet old comrades you know here, you are lucky.
Because you have no idea whether today is the last farewell.
This is a battlefield, and anyone can die at any time!
"Are there enough shells?" Wu Qianli asked.
"Our enemies are so generous. We can make them as many as we want, ha!" Battalion Commander Yang said proudly.
In this battle, our army can be said to be very similar to many previous battles: "There are no guns, no cannons, the enemy makes them for us!"
Obviously these cannons owned by Battalion Commander Yang were also captured from the enemy.
"Are there many artillery shells? In the direction of the Seventh Company's attack, give us two more cannons!" Yu Congrong said, beating the snake and following the stick.
"Do the shells belong to your family?" Battalion Commander Yang said angrily.
Wu Qianli stretched out his foot and kicked Yu Conrong, and Yu Conrong could only walk away angrily.
Many people may not understand, but some do. In this battle, our army lacked artillery support. Yu Congrong's words may sound like child's play, but in fact, if the artillery battalion can really take more care of it,
The direction of their attack means that at least the Seventh Company can save a lot of lives.
"Where's Lao Lei?" Battalion Commander Yang looked left and right, but didn't see Lei's father, so he couldn't help but ask.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Wu Qianli responded with silence. The smile on Wu Qianli's face disappeared. He did not speak, but took a puff of cigarette silently.
The smile that had always been on Yu Congrong's face also disappeared, replaced by silence and a sense of sadness.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Pinghe, who was reminiscing with the people in the artillery camp, also fell silent.
Battalion Commander Yang understood their silence, because he was also a soldier and he understood what it meant.
"Gather the artillery battalion and get ready to go!" At this time, the order came.
Wu Qianli returned the unfinished cigarette to Camp Commander Yang and patted him on the shoulder.
"Old Yang, the direction of the Seventh Company's attack, give me one more round of fire!" Wu Qianli said, then he patted Battalion Commander Yang's shoulder hard and jumped out of the car.
As the artillery battalion's convoy moved forward, Battalion Commander Yang turned his head and waved his hand towards Wu Qianli.
After receiving the order and rushing to Xiajieyuli Airport, the Seventh Company and the fraternal troops had just headed towards their destination when they encountered a group of enemy fighter jets.
The U.S. Air Force, which has air superiority, is too lethal to our army. Countless artillery shells fell. Even if they were evaded and dispersed at the first time, they still suffered heavy losses.
And this is just the beginning!
This battle is more difficult than anyone imagined.
Previously, Battalion Commander Zhang of the 20th Army said that the enemy had heavy firepower and was deployed three kilometers away from the airport, telling them to be careful. However, these aircraft were obviously not the enemy's heavy firepower as he said.
Under the enemy's targeted bombing and strafing, not only the seventh company, but also the artillery battalion suffered heavy losses. All the assets they had managed to save were destroyed by the enemy's aircraft's artillery shells!
All the artillery battalions' cannons were blown up!
Wu Qianli came with the soldiers to support him, but the place was already in a mess.
"Lao Yang, are you okay?"
"I didn't even warm up the cannon that I just grabbed, but it exploded when I stepped on the horse!" Lao Yang felt so painful in his heart.
Artillery camp, is an artillery camp without artillery still an artillery camp?
"Which of the guns in your artillery camp was not stolen?" Wu Qianli asked with a smile.
He took out his pistol and handed it to Lao Yang: "Take it away again!"
Lao Yang turned his head and looked at Wu Qianli in a daze. Thinking that he had been so proud earlier, Wu Qianli had to beg him, how generous he was.
But things have turned, and Wu Qianli was laughed at again.
"Seven companies have them!"
"have!"
"Go grab the cannon for the artillery battalion!"
"yes!"
Mei Sheng stood by and assisted Wu Qianli in a tacit understanding.
The soldiers of the Seventh Company responded loudly.
Because they all know the importance of artillery battalions. If our army can have more artillery, then they can sacrifice fewer people.
Lao Yang finally took Wu Qianli's pistol and looked at Wu Qianli and Seventh Company's retreating figures.
He suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Can the Seventh Company really support our artillery battalion?"
The soldiers in the artillery camp roared: "No!"
"Go grab the cannon with me!"
"yes!"
The soldiers of the artillery camp responded in unison!
The camera changes, and countless volunteer soldiers are attacking in front of the peripheral defense positions of Hajieyuli Airport.
In the U.S. military's peripheral defense positions, countless tanks' muzzles were blazing, and shells fell one after another on the path of our army's advance. Soldiers fell one by one, but countless soldiers followed one after another and continued to charge under artillery fire.
Countless people fell, but no one flinched.
This battle was actually far more difficult than what the movie showed.
In real history, in order to respond to the Volunteer Army's operations, the U.S. military deployed more than 200 tanks on the ground around the airport, and used tank groups to form the first line of defense at the airport.
Then, the U.S. military's air power entered combat mode across the board, and the rear artillery launched indiscriminate bombing on the Volunteer Army's offensive route.
At the beginning, Li Yi was also thinking about whether to change the original plot, but in the end he chose to only make minor adjustments.
Maybe people will complain afterwards that it is not realistic enough, but after all, this is not a documentary, but a movie.
It's just that the scene was slightly adjusted to make the scene more tragic.
Wu Wanli has finally grown up. With his unique skills of precise throwing and air explosion, every time a grenade is thrown, it can hit the target and take away the enemy's firepower.
Finally, after paying a huge price, Wu Qianli did it, and so did Battalion Commander Yang. Together with his brother troops, they took down a US artillery position and replenished the artillery battalion.
"Wu Qianli! Don't worry!" Lao Yang looked at Wu Qianli who continued to move forward and shouted loudly.
Wu Qianli turned around and gave him a thumbs up!
He knew what Lao Yang meant when he said, "Don't worry." The artillery battalion will provide more artillery support in the direction of the Seventh Company's attack, even if it's just one shot!
The scene changes and Smith of the 1st Division of the U.S. Army urgently contacts the top commander of the island country.
While the war here is raging, and people are dying every second in the hail of bullets, the US military commanders far away in the island country are singing and laughing.
"Smith is reporting to you that the current situation is that Xiajieyuli Airport is behind us and we do not have enough troops to resist the enemy. I request to send reinforcements to support the retreat of our troops. General, our troops need to retreat!"
But Mike said angrily: "Smith, this is war, retreating is treason, retreating is treason, I say it again, retreating is treason!"
The irony is that the people below are still applauding and waiting for his speech.
"Stop all retreat actions, this is an order! No retreat is allowed!"
After hanging up the phone, Smith shook his head helplessly.
They all thought they could easily defeat our army because they had the most advanced and complete equipment in the world, but they paid the price for their arrogance.
Smith didn't want to retreat, but he had to retreat.
Our army command headquarters.
"The U.S. troops in Xiajieyuli have given up fighting and begun to retreat southward!"
The commanders and soldiers came to the sand table map.
"It was reported that the U.S. military aircraft had insufficient transport capacity, and Smith led the remaining troops to flee to Nanxing Port by land via Shuimen Bridge!"
"The Watergate Bridge is their only way to retreat. Only by blowing it up can our troops have a chance to jointly encircle and suppress them!"
"Yes, send troops to penetrate deeply..."
"We must not let them run away. Order our troops to block them at all levels and cut off the enemy's retreat!" the commander said while looking at the map.
"The Ninth Company is approaching the Watergate Bridge. The Seventh Company of the Attack Regiment is good at intervening and is qualified for this task!"
"But the Seventh Company is currently at the airport!"
"Order the Seventh Company to withdraw from the battle, rush to the Watergate Bridge, blow up the bridge, wait for reinforcements to arrive, and completely wipe out the First Marine Division!"
...
"All troops, we have cleared the enemy troops on the retreat route. About 500 enemy troops have been eliminated..." Repeated messages came from the enemy's phone.
Mason shot and killed the phone.
What many people don’t know is that the deeds of the Bing Withering Company occurred during this period.
Yu Congrong commanded the company to clean the battlefield and carry the wounded to tents.
The wounded here are not only those of our army, but also those of the enemy.
A wounded enemy soldier was carried in, and Wu Wanli was wrapped in a quilt, sitting in the tent, chewing captured compressed biscuits.
"How many are there?" Yu Congrong came over and sat down next to him, patted his shoulder and asked with a smile.
Everyone remembers that Wu Wanli once asked Yu Congrong how many enemies he could kill to be considered a hero. Yu Congrong told him, twenty!
That's why I ask this question.
"Is it almost twenty?" Yu Congrong asked again.
Wu Wanli replied: "It doesn't matter anymore, I want you all to go home alive!"
At this moment, he knew that how many enemies he killed was far less important than bringing his comrades home.
Yu Congrong patted his shoulder with relief and said: "Yes!"
Because the fact that Wu Wanli can say this proves that he has completed his transformation. He is no longer a new recruit, or the melon boy who wants to be a hero, but a real warrior.
Yu Congrong walked out of the tent.
The wounded American soldier next to him was shivering coldly.
Wu Wanli took a look, stood up, and pulled off the quilt on his body.
He walked up to the wounded American soldier and covered him with a quilt.
The first time he encountered an injured enemy commander, he wanted to kill him with a single shot. He has undoubtedly grown a lot.
What Wu Qianli told him back then: "Some guns must be fired, but some guns don't have to be fired!"
...
The seventh company's temporary camp.
Wu Qianli walked in.
There was no smile on Mei Sheng's face, and he said slowly: "Each platoon will report the number of casualties!"
"Twenty-three people were reduced from one platoon!" Yu Congrong took out a stack of "cloth strips" with each fallen soldier written on them!
"The second platoon is missing twenty-one people!"
"Reduced number of 18 people from the third platoon!"
"Sixteen casualties from the fourth platoon!"
Wu Qianli held tightly with both hands the strips of cloth representing the fallen comrades.
Mei Changchang exhaled: "Seventy-eight!"
How many people are there in the entire seventh company?
But in this battle alone, seventy-eight people were killed!
This is only a partial attack, let alone the entire force attacking Hajieyuli Airport.
The casualties were too great. With weapons and firepower far inferior to the enemy, they had no choice but to fight with their lives to win this battle!
Wu Qianli took out the name slips of the soldiers who had died before from his bag. There was a thick stack. These name slips were the only ones they had left.
"There are nine party members left in the company. Don't get stuck at this critical moment!" Mei Sheng raised his head and said.
"Yes!" Yu Congrong and others stood up and shouted.
Wu Qianli carefully put the packet of name tags representing the sacrificed soldiers into his backpack.
In the snow, Wu Qianli lit a cigarette.
Suddenly he stretched out his hand to hold up a small snow bag and stuck his cigarette in it.
The battle is not over yet, so he can only pay tribute to his fallen comrades in his own way.
The Seventh Company received the order: "The Seventh Company marched south, got close to the US military, arrived at the 1081 Highland area of Watergate Bridge, and waited for orders to carry out the mission of bombing the bridge!"
Yu Congrong looked at a bombed US military helicopter and said: "This thing is their new equipment. It can go straight up and down. When we can fly our own, it will definitely be better than them!"
While chewing dry food, Wu Qianli looked at the helicopter and replied: "Sooner or later."
It was just a short, seemingly ordinary conversation, but for some reason, it made many people burst into tears.
I wish I could tell them, our ancestors, that today, we not only have helicopters, but also cannons, tanks, aircraft carriers, missiles, nuclear bombs... We have all the most high-end weapons in the world.
The top commander of the US military, who lost the battle, even wanted to use atomic bombs to resolve the battle.
But it was just different from the past. At this time, they were not the only ones in the world who had such terrible weapons, so in the end they did not use such terrible weapons.
Some people say that it is ridiculous to say in the movie that the US military does not use atomic bombs because it does not have permission from the United Nations, but this is just official rhetoric.
When they are the only ones in the world who have it, they can use it without scruples, but when others also have it, then they can no longer open this Pandora's box!
