In a wilderness in the northeast, the northwest wind swept the snowflakes like cotton balls, blowing so that people couldn't open their eyes.

In the wilderness, there are not plains, but high mountains and dangerous peaks, which are raging under the blizzard, as if the world is apocalyptic.

On the mountainside, there is a suspended single-lane bridge across several aqueducts, and below the bridge is an abyss.

The original bridge has been blown up several times, and on the original broken bridge body, 8 sets of M-2 steel-wood standard bridges have replaced the original bridge.

Not far away, the 1st Marine Division, which had just experienced 10 days of bloody fighting with the Volunteers, was retreating here.

"Stop!"

Commander Smith looked at the bridge to heaven in front of him with some unease, his 1st Marine Division had withdrawn from the battlefield three days ago after six days of bloody fighting, but had only walked a total of 22 kilometers in the past three days.

Along the way, they were intercepted and killed by the volunteers, and they could only walk 300 meters in an hour on average, and there were more than 1,500 casualties on the 22-kilometer road.

Now, as long as he crosses the Watergate Bridge in front of him, there is a flat river in front of him, and his troops can escape.

However, Smith was a little cloudy.

A staff officer next to him hesitated, "General, I feel like someone is watching us!"

Smith's anxiety grew worse and worse, and he sent a few scouts to the front to talk about the way, but when a few scouts climbed to the top of the bridge to see, they all froze.

More than 120 volunteer soldiers, all frozen on the position, these soldiers are all in a sniper posture, holding guns, the muzzle of the gun is facing forward, the eyes are angry at the position, and no one flinched.

"Oh God!"

After a few seconds of staring at each other, the three Rice Grain Jian soldiers and the ice sculpture glaring in front of them shouted and turned their heads and ran with horror on their faces.

......

"Okay, pass!"

A simple shot, just one pass, Li Qian thought that there would be something awkward about these foreign group performances, but he didn't expect to be quite devoted.

"Hurry up, next shot. "Pick up the walkie-talkie and order to continue shooting.

Chen Kun, Duan Yihong, and Zhang Yi, who were about to appear in the next shot with makeup on the side, couldn't help but ask, "Director Li, these foreigners shouldn't be from the United States." ”

"I don't know, but it's pretty dedicated. Li Qian shook his head, there are actually many foreign group performances in China, and their salaries are generally ten times that of normal group performances, and they only need to show their faces.

Scarcity is expensive, that's it.

In this plot, a lot of foreign actors are needed, and some close-up scenes are looking for foreign group actors, and long-term scenes are recruited locally, and there are them in the northern part of Heilong Province.

As for whether there are rice grains in these group performances, whether it will be awkward, Li Qian is too lazy to care.

The shooting continued, and when several scouts rushed down with shouts, the commander of the 1st Mi Division was alarmed, and the troops immediately prepared for battle.

Three days, a 22-kilometer journey, numerous attacks, was already an instinctive reaction.

After asking about the situation, the commander led people up the bridge, and looked at the more than 120 ice sculptures, and felt numb.

The second shot is also simple, when the Mi army crosses the bridge, the third shot, the pursuing volunteers arrive.

In reality, the pursuing volunteers came even later, because there was no car transportation, the soldiers could only rely on a pair of legs to walk through the mountains, the snow on the mountains was deep and thick, stepping on the snow, if not careful, the soldiers would fall into the snow, unable to walk, and finally in order to quickly reach the Watergate Bridge, they had to crawl forward on their knees, so they missed the great opportunity to annihilate the Mi 1 Division.

This is a bit aggrieved, so in the script, not long after the first division of Mi passed, the pursuing troops arrived, and it was the third company where the actor was in the first place.

In the monitor, a top-down shot, the whole company of hundreds of people trudged to the Watergate Bridge, and saw the comrades frozen into ice sculptures, all standing on the spot.

The camera gave a few close-ups, whether it was Duan Yihong, a cold-faced tiger, or Zhang Yi, a stubborn boy, or Chen Kun, who had seen a lot of deaths in a nursing home, they all couldn't help but leave tears.

The camera reversed, giving the ice sculpture a close-up, and the faces staring angrily ahead shocked the heart.

Suddenly, an old hand landed next to the body of a young warrior, and picked up a small piece of paper, on which was crookedly written:

I love my loved ones and my country.

Love my honor even more.

I am a glorious volunteer soldier.

I will not give in to you.

Even if it's freezing to death.

I will also be proud.

Towering over my position!

This is borrowed from the Modu Volunteer Army Museum, written by a young soldier who turned into an ice sculpture decades ago.

"Chase!"

Duan Yihong's eyes were full of tears, and he roared hard.

Everyone, with their spears in hand, with a full of anger and hatred, continued the pursuit.

"Over!"

Li Qian stared at the monitor tightly, clapped his hands, shouted, and announced that it was another pass.

In this situation, everyone's emotions are very in place, and he doesn't have to say anything at all.

Then immediately let the more than 120 thinly dressed soldiers help them into the tent, this hellish weather, don't freeze to death.

The focus of the Battle of Changjin Lake was completed, mainly to shoot the ice sculpture company, and the specific battlefield would only take a big panorama.

Next, the venue was transferred, and the march, ambush, and battle were filmed one by one.

The focus is on the fortified battle, and there are three battles in the fortification, mainly to show the tactics of the volunteers.

Why the volunteers can win, this is definitely going to be filmed.

In modern warfare, it is no longer possible to use numbers as a dominant factor.

When the two armies fight, they are able to reach each other with their own weapons.

Otherwise, not only will you not be able to kill the enemy, but you will only be killed.

Weapons have developed from spears to bows and arrows, muskets, cannons, airplanes, and missiles, constantly extending the distance of strikes, interpreting the truth of "one inch is long and one inch is strong, and one inch is short and one inch is dangerous".

A division of the Mi Army is equipped with more than 330 cannons of caliber of 70 mm or more, and the total number of artillery pieces of various types has reached more than 790.

A division of the Volunteer Army has only 12 mountain artillery, an army has only more than 190 cannons of caliber of more than 70 mm, and the sum of various types of artillery is only more than 540. It is not as good as the artillery of a division of the Mi army.

There are more than 140 tanks in a division of the Mi Army, which is 40 more than the tanks invested by the Volunteer Army in the entire Northern Stick War.

As for light and heavy machine guns and airplanes, there is no comparison.

To fight, you must first engage the enemy, otherwise you will be slaughtered. Rotten Books Network

In the beginning, the volunteers usually went out by day and night, hid in place all day during the day, and marched at night to avoid reconnaissance and bombing by enemy planes, close the distance with the enemy, and narrow the gap in firepower to the greatest extent.

To sum up the tactics, it is a big maneuver, a big ambush, a big intersperse, a big detour, a big encirclement, and finally a big annihilation.

Although the goal of annihilation was not achieved due to the serious lack of firepower, the battle line was pushed from the Yalu River to the 37th parallel.

To achieve this, the ability to execute tactics, willpower, soldiers' tactical literacy, and the command ability of grassroots commanders and fighters are all indispensable.

That is, the volunteers who have experienced the baptism of the Anti-Japanese War and the neighborhood war can do it, not just a matter of fighting chicken blood.

It can be said that it is a group of modern light armies of the 21st century in the fifties, armed with weapons from the forties.

Day and night, closing the distance, this is one of the war scenes.

The second scene is the coping strategy of the Mi Army, after all, Li Qian will not belittle the Mi Army, at that time the Mi Army was already the world's largest power, and deliberately belittling the other party was to lie to himself.

In the face of the tactics of large-scale maneuver, large-scale ambush, large-scale intersperse, large-scale detour, and large-scale encirclement, the Mi army chose to give full play to its advantages in firepower and mechanization to the maximum.

When defending, he distanced himself from the volunteers, regardless of the amount of ammunition, and continued to use the "sea of fire tactics" to fiercely hit the spearhead of the volunteers' attack.

When retreating, the retreat distance is exactly equal to the distance of the volunteers marching at night, and when the volunteers chase up, it is daytime, which not only avoids the strong point of the volunteers' night battles, but also gives full play to their firepower and air superiority, forcing the volunteers who are seriously lacking in firepower to fight during the day, and pay a heavy price for short blows and long blows.

In this way, the volunteers could not hit the enemy when attacking, could not shake off the opponent when retreating, and were always glued, tapped, pushed, and chased by the opponent.

The third war scene is the "hidden enemy ambush" tactic in response to the tactics of the Mi army.

On the first night, they sent troops to lurk in the front line of the enemy's position, and the next day they had to hide under the enemy's nose for the whole day, and then began to attack after nightfall the next day, quickly engaging the enemy and covering the follow-up troops' charge.

This battle, the most successful in history, lurked more than 3,500 fighters in front of the enemy's position, the personnel were less than 60 meters away from the enemy at the earliest, and the entire latent force was within the enemy's range and fire network, and the enemy threw grenades from above and down on the hillside at 60 to 70 degrees, which could be thrown into the lurking area, and the artillery was only a few kilometers away from the enemy.

Such a big scene, it's not easy to shoot, Li Qian narrowed this, it is the third company where the actor is located, a hundred people, lurking under the nose of the enemy for a day and a night, and only the next night to launch an attack brazenly, and unexpectedly annihilated a main division of the rice army, an integrated company with heavy firepower.

Although this tactic is simple to say, how to secretly enter the latent position, and how to solve a series of problems such as eating, drinking, and coughing after entering?

Adversaries often conduct fire reconnaissance of possible lurking sites, casualties are unavoidable, and rescue is simply impossible.

The wounded fighters must hold on motionless, without exposing the target, and as long as one person is exposed, the entire latent force will be killed or wounded.

Qiu Shaoyun, who everyone is familiar with, was burned alive in the fire caused by the reconnaissance incendiary bombs fired by the other side while lurking.

There was a similar scene in the process of lurking, where a soldier was injured by enemy fire reconnaissance, and just lay on his stomach for a day and a night without saying a word, bleeding too much and died.

As a hygienist, the male protagonist can only watch this scene and can't do anything.

In fact, if it weren't for the fear of being too bloody, Li Qian simply shot someone's intestines being blown out, secretly stuffed them, and continued to lurk.

These are real things that have happened, but you have to take into account the feelings of the audience, and maybe they will be killed because they are too bloody.

This is not a war movie, the theme is still a romance film, and the overall style cannot be destroyed, so the war scenes are as victorious and moving as possible.

Tactics, victory, and emotion are the focus of these scenes.

Next, in mid-January, the crew ushered in the filming of the most tragic Songgu Peak resistance battle.

The scene of this battle is five minutes long, of which in addition to the one-minute panorama, the remaining four minutes are the scenes of the three-company position.

The protagonists here are Chen Kun, Duan Yihong and Zhang Yi.

First took a big panorama, tanks, armored vehicles, and planes were all on board, after all, this was a war of resistance and annihilation, and the enemy was retreating frantically.

It's not so much about retreating as it is about running away, and running away for survival will of course be a frenzied attack.

The scene of this minute is all kinds of heavy weapons, tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, and airplanes bombarding each other in turn.

The details are the three consecutive positions, the constantly running hygienist Chen Kun, the sniper god Zhang Yi, the commander Duan Yihong, and more scenes of unsung heroes fighting and dying.

This scene ended with Duan Yihong's sacrifice.

An artillery shell landed not far from the position, and a piece of shrapnel hit Duan Yihong right in the chest.

"Company commander!"

Chen Kun, who was bandaging a comrade-in-arms in the trench, choked and ran over, looked at Duan Yihong's bloody chest, knelt in front of him, and hurriedly pressed some yellowed gauze on the wound with a crying voice.

I used up too much strength, for fear that it would hurt him.

The strength was small, and blood continued to spill out, and soon the gauze was dyed red.

"Company commander... Company Commander..."

"What are you crying about, the old paper is not dead yet!" Duan Yihong scolded with difficulty.

"Leave me alone, go and rescue the other comrades. ”

"Company Commander, you ......."

"It's an order!"

"But the company commander, you said that you can't leave a single wounded in the third company. ”

"Obey the order, the old paper will be a dead man soon, not an injury... Ahem, ahem... Wounded. ”

The excitement of emotion made Duan Yihong cough violently, brought out a mouthful of blood, and used his last strength to give Chen Kun the last order.

This line will look a little weird at first glance, but this is a tragic battle, and if it is too serious, it will make it feel disconnected from the later plot, and the two are not coordinated enough.

The first sentence of the old paper is not dead, because he doesn't want Chen Kun to cry.

The second sentence of the old paper is immediately a dead man, and it is to tell him not to waste bandages and medicines.

It also makes sense, and this kind of line comes from a person who is not very good at talking. People who have a cold face all day long are not so awkward.

"Okay, pass!"

Li Qian gave an order, and at this point, the entire scene of the Songgu Peak Resistance Battle was officially filmed.

"Whew!"

Standing up from the monitor, Li Qian breathed a long sigh of relief, and he could finally relax.

Everyone in the crew also let go of the nerves that had been tense for more than half a month, in this icy and snowy environment, filming this kind of scene again, and everyone was uncomfortable, both physically and psychologically.

Duan Yihong got up from the trench, patted his bloody chest, came to Li Qian, and said sincerely.

"Director Li, thank you for asking me to play such a heroic role, I saw these incoherent and fragmented plots before, and I was afraid that the characters would be very thin, but after filming the last scene and connecting the previous scenes, I found that this character was already very full. ”

Li Qian said, "From the perspective of the script, it is indeed very thin, but you acted well and made up for what was not written in the script." ”

fragmented scenes, although there are character biographies and the like, but after all, the content in it cannot be filmed into the movie, and in general, Duan Yihong used his performance to prop up this thin character.

Zhang Yi pondered, "It seems that my role has more roles, but it seems to be thinner." ”

"You are a sniper god, a superhero, that's enough, Lao Duan is a member of the thousands of company commanders in the Volunteer Army, so he needs to be a little fuller. Li Qian said with a smile.
