"Crossing the Yalu River", the first feature film produced by China Central Radio and Television, "panoramic and epic" shockingly reproduces the entire process of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and reviews it from the perspective of Peng Dehuai, commander and political commissar of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army It depicts unforgettable scenes of the past, carries out visual, story-based and intuitive artistic transcoding, creates exquisite products with ingenuity, and clearly presents the scale of the times when Chinese literature and art are climbing to the top.
1. Highlight the duel between the highest military geniuses in modern warfare, predict your predictions, and make no mistakes!
The War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea was a modern war. The United States possessed advanced weapons such as aircraft, artillery, and tanks. It controlled the sea and the air. It had rich experience in modern three-dimensional operations. It also poured artillery shells on our positions regardless of the ammunition base. Destructive strikes, and even using despicable means such as napalm bombs and bacterial bombs to carry out inhumane extermination on our side. Volunteer army commanders and fighters are at an absolute disadvantage in weapons and equipment, and the balance of power is absolutely disparate. However, the key factor that determines the outcome of a war is people, not weapons.
The film vividly presents the ultimate showdown between the top military strategists. In the first and second battles, under the careful deployment of Commander Peng Dehuai, the Chinese People's Volunteers unexpectedly defeated the troops led by the arrogant MacArthur, making his bold statement of "going home before Christmas" come to nothing, and changed the strategy from strategic offensive to Great rout and retreat. The biggest misjudgment on the part of the United States, including MacArthur and Commander Walker of the 8th Army, in the Korean War, and also the most fundamental reason for the defeat, was the mistaken belief that China would not interfere in the Korean War, and the underestimation of China's attitude and determination to send troops. This was even further formulated by Peng Dehuai It is a tactical crushing strategy that lures the enemy to go deep and concentrate superior forces in a war of annihilation.
The film breaks away from the past stereotype of belittling opponents, but fully respects opponents. After Li Qiwei, who succeeded Walker, took office, the rivalry between President Peng and Li Qiwei became legendary. Called a game textbook. For example, Li Qiwei quickly found our weakness, the "7-day offensive", and the logistics supplies could not keep up. So we adopted "magnetic tactics" to avoid our sharp edge and retreat all the way, causing our troops to intersperse and attack at night, and continuously stretched our supply lines. They also sent planes to violently bomb our supply lines to implement a "strangling war." The level of the art of war is often presented in two extremes - operational attack and strategic retreat. Our side occupied Seoul and achieved the "Great Victory of Seoul". The campaign objectives were achieved and the plan to annihilate the enemy was in vain. Peng Dehuai opposed all opinions and decided that all troops should withdraw and make additional repairs. Chairman Mao agreed to support this decision after analysis and judgment. But just as our troops were retreating, Li Qiwei suddenly led the coalition forces to launch a full-scale counterattack. The fourth battle broke out, and the two world-class commanders, President Peng and Li Qiwei, began a new contest. Ridgway sent an elite task force to attack Cheorwon, our rear supply hub, in an attempt to replicate the great achievements of the "Incheon Landing" and end the Korean War in one fell swoop. However, Mr. Peng had an insight and quickly predicted this sinister intention. The 63rd Army was found near Cheorwon and ordered to defend it. The soldiers of the 63rd Army were broken into pieces and tenaciously delayed the enemy's attack for 13 days, buying valuable time for the transfer of the main force. There are always people who better than you. Li Qiwei's traps were cracked one by one by Peng Dehuai. The shrewd and meticulous Li Qiwei and the more courageous and resourceful Peng Dehuai left behind a war legend and an indelible artistic image.
2. With a strong human touch, it depicts the heroic portraits of the "most lovable people" and the shocking feats of ghosts and gods.
"Protecting the home and the country" is the driving force rooted in the heart of every soldier. After a century of humiliation, the Chinese people's pursuit of freedom and happiness and their desire for peaceful development cannot be stopped by any force. The film vividly and delicately depicts a large number of heroes such as Yang Gensi, Huang Jiguang, and Qiu Shaoyun. There are the Ice Sculpture Company who held the position with their steel guns in hand despite being frozen to death in the Battle of Changjin Lake; the railway soldiers who used their lives to connect the "constantly bombed" steel transportation lines; In Yuanri, there are only 7 warriors left in the 1st Battalion and 3rd Company of the 335th Regiment of the 38th Army who blocked hundreds of thousands of enemy troops in the bloody battle at Songgu Peak. There are the officers and soldiers of the 63rd Army who "will defend Cheolwon even if the 63rd Army is wiped out." There are the officers and soldiers of the 50th Army's former Liberation War uprising unit who were closely related to the position and never made demands on Chisi, and there was Hu Xiudao, who was the only one left in the Shangganling battle position and repelled more than a dozen enemy attacks... The film broke through It breaks the convention of ordinary war movies that are difficult to achieve real shock. With grand scenes, artillery fire, earth-shattering, and bullets flying, it vividly reproduces the shocking feat of the "cutest man" in the smoke and flames of war. They used their blood and lives to create the great spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea. The spirit of patriotism that puts the interests of the motherland and the people above all else and sacrifices oneself for the dignity of the motherland and the nation; the spirit of revolutionary heroism that is brave and tenacious and sacrifices life and death; the spirit of revolutionary optimism that is not afraid of hardships and hardships and always maintains high morale. The spirit of revolutionary loyalty to fulfill the mission entrusted by the motherland and the people, the spirit of generous dedication of oneself, and the spirit of internationalism to strive for the cause of peace and justice for mankind.
Peng Dehuai saw on the front line that many soldiers were bandaged, disheveled, and looked haggard.
When Peng Dehuai saw this, tears filled his eyes. He rushed to greet these warriors in person. He choked and said: "The motherland thanks you! This is the neatest military appearance and the most shocking military power I have ever seen!" The audience was shocked. Tears.
3. The decision-making showdown between the leaders and think tanks of both sides, justice will eventually defeat evil
The film vividly depicts the far-sighted political wisdom and strategic vision, superb military strategy and superb military strategies of Chairman Mao Zedong and the Party Central Committee. The art of command. Whether to send troops or not, Chairman Mao couldn't sleep for days and nights, "Punch away with one punch, lest hundreds of punches come!" For the sake of the safety of the new Republic of China and the fulfillment of internationalist obligations, at the request of the North Korean leader, the final collective decision was made send troops!
At every stage of the war, the supreme commander and the frontline soldiers are of one mind, thinking in the same place, and working hard in the same place. It advocates "Don't fight an unprepared battle, and you will win the battle." Under the aggressive request of the Soviet leaders and international friends to expand the results of the three battles, advance southward, and drive American soldiers and Syngman Rhee into the sea, Chairman Mao once adopted it, but after consulting Nie Rongzhen and Peng Dehuai, he immediately set out based on reality and stopped the south. advance and avoid falling into a big trap set by the US military. Angry and angry, MacArthur wanted to use the atomic bomb and launch an all-out war against China. His irrational impulse touched the interests of American politicians and the president, and it was natural for him to be removed from office. With no hope of counterattack, the U.S. military proposed armistice negotiations to peacefully resolve the Korean issue. However, the U.S. government and the Syngman Rhee Group still pursued a dual policy, continuing negotiations while launching a war. Chairman Mao and Shiji decided to launch the Battle of Jincheng to use their bargaining chips to force their opponents to sit down and negotiate honestly.
Weapons are an important factor in winning the war, but the film clearly tells the audience that the decisive factor is people. Justice will eventually defeat evil, and the cause of justice is invincible! With historical depth, international vision, aesthetic character, and epic style, the film shows the great war of "resisting U.S. aggression, aiding Korea, and defending the homeland and the country." It was a great feat of the Chinese people who resisted aggression without fear of violence. It was a battle for the founding of the country and broke the invincibility of the U.S. military. The myth has greatly improved China's international prestige and established China's status as a major power in the world. The film "Transnational Yalu River" will leave a glorious page in the history of film.
