The car travels along a winding mountain road, and next to the road is the Grand Canyon, in which the surging river roars and rushes south. People who are afraid of heights must be terrified when they look out. Su Bai was not affected at all, and kept talking to Xu Wangqiu about a few female soldiers in the communication class, and she kept keeping in touch with them.

Soon after writing the plan according to Wang Lanxi's request, Xu Wangqiu brought Zhou Lijin, Tang Guoqiang and other main actors of "Falcon" to southern Yunnan, preparing to screen "Falcon" for the front-line troops. "Falcon" is about a self-defense counterattack, and many of the characters in the story are taken from the heroes of the counterattack, and there is no better premiere than the front line.

When Su Bai heard that Xu Wangqiu and they were going to premiere on the front line in southern Yunnan, he applied to China News Service, hoping to report it. The leaders of China News Service felt that this matter was particularly meaningful, so they asked Su Bai to go to southern Yunnan to report with the intern teacher and the crew of "Falcon".

Xu Wangqiu originally planned to premiere on the front line of Kuolin Mountain, but the deputy commander of the Southern Yunnan Military Region told them that he hoped that the movie would be shown to Mengzi's 42nd Division first. Xu Wangqiu disagreed, feeling that it made more sense to put "Falcon" on the front line. The deputy commander told Xu Wangqiu that the 42nd Division would soon leave for the front line, and some soldiers might not have the opportunity to watch movies in the future. The deputy commander did not say the specific content of the 42nd Division's operation, but Xu Wangqiu remembered that in 81, our army completely recovered Kuolin Mountain, and the 42nd Division should be the unit that recovered Kuolin Mountain.

An hour later, the car finally arrived at the headquarters of the 42nd Division. Before Xu Wangqiu and them set off, the provincial military district contacted the 42nd Division. When Xu Wangqiu and the others arrived at the headquarters of the 42nd Division, the division commander, political commissar, and comrades from the propaganda office were already waiting at the gate of the barracks.

After a brief greeting, the division commander led Xu Wangqiu and them into a conference room. He told Xu Wangqiu that in order to thank everyone for their support to the participating troops, he had a small gift to give to everyone. Then he took out the gift and put it on for Xu Wangqiu and each of them. Looking at the golden medal on his chest, Xu Wangqiu and the others were very excited, and they were also moved to be extremely glorious.

The division commander first gave a welcome speech, and then gave Xu Wangqiu a brief briefing on the situation of the troops. The 42nd Division had already received operational orders in January and had been making preparations, and this morning the 126th Regiment, which was the main attacker, held a swearing-in meeting and made a general mobilization before the war, so the division commander felt that if he wanted to show a movie, he would first show it to the 126th Regiment.

Xu Wangqiu naturally nodded and applauded, "Falcon" tells the story of what happened when we recovered the territory occupied by the Vietnamese army, and the background of the whole story is particularly like the battle that is about to break out to recover Kuolin Mountain. It is very meaningful to put the premiere of "Falcon" in the main attack force.

The division commander felt that Xu Wangqiu and the others must be tired from rushing over from Beiping, so let them rest for a day and show it to the troops tomorrow. However, Xu Wangqiu and the others said that they were not tired and hoped to go to the 126th regiment immediately. Seeing Xu Wangqiu's resolute attitude, the division commander asked the propaganda officer to take them to the 162nd regiment station.

It didn't take long for Xu Wangqiu and them to arrive at the 162nd regiment station. They got off the jeep and saw a simple archway in front of them, with couplets written on both sides: "You are also bitter and I am bitter, we don't suffer hardship, who suffers, you have a home, I have a home, there is no country, how can there be a home", and the horizontal criticism is "loyal to the country".

The commander and political commissar of the 126th Regiment received a call from the division and knew that Xu Wangqiu and they were coming, so they all stood at the entrance and waited. After meeting Xu Wangqiu and them, the regiment commander and political commissar invited Xu Wangqiu and them into the regiment headquarters and briefed them on the situation of the troops.

The political commissar told Xu Wangqiu that all the comrades of the regiment had written a petition for war and actively demanded that the main attack be attacked. The fighters of the main assault battalion asked for permission to join the commando, and the fighters of the commando were to go to the first echelon. The fighters who were in the first echelon resolutely demanded to go to the first battle group so that they could rush to the front.

After chatting with the regiment commander and political commissar for a while, Xu Wangqiu and the others proposed to go to the army to have a look and talk to the soldiers. The political commissar took Xu Wangqiu and them to the "Steel Knife Company" company that served as the main attack. The soldiers were very enthusiastic when they saw Xu Wangqiu, especially after knowing that "When That Day Comes" and "Serving the Country with Loyalty" were written by Xu Wangqiu, they were so excited that they asked Xu Wangqiu to sing. The soldiers also took out their diaries and photo albums and asked Xu Wangqiu to sign them as a souvenir.

Looking at these sunny young faces and listening to their hearty laughter, Xu Wangqiu thought that they were about to go to the front line, with a heart to serve the motherland and the people, and with a sense of nostalgia for their relatives. Some of them sleep in the dense jungle of the Koulin Mountains, and some of them may be disabled for life. However, at the moment when they were facing the test of life and death, there was no trace of sadness on their faces. It's really impressive. They are just like what is written in the poem: "Sacrifice your life to go to the country, and see death as if you were going home."

Xu Wangqiu took out his notebook and asked the soldiers to leave their names and home addresses, and then he took a picture of them with his camera, taking pictures of their bright smiling faces, which will be kept forever in the album and in his own memory.

After dinner, the soldiers of the 162nd Regiment took a shower, changed into clean military uniforms, put on the small benches that were distributed, and sat in the playground in front of their respective companies early, waiting to watch a movie at the regiment headquarters. Life in the army is monotonous, and watching movies is one of the few entertainments. Every time the watchman informs that there is a movie to watch, the troops boil, and the faces of every fighter are filled with festive joy.

At the same time, Xu Wangqiu and the others were busy near the movie theater of the 162nd regiment. This is an open-air square, all made of stone, with a curved stone staircase forming a slope, which can accommodate thousands of people in the whole group to watch movies. The movie room is in a stone room half square on the slope, and the screen hangs on the club's outer stage. The correspondent was setting up a rattan chair in front of the screen, which was the seat of the regiment leader and Xu Wangqiu and their guests.

The Yangtze River 16mm projector is basically used by the troops to show films, which is the main film projection machinery for mobile projection in China. However, Xu Wangqiu did not use the projection equipment of the troops, but used the 35mm projector they brought from Beiping. After all, it was the premiere of the movie, and they wanted the screening to be as good as possible. Since it is a new device, it needs to be commissioned.

Just when Xu Wangqiu finished debugging the equipment, it was time for the troops to enter the field. The military staff officers of the regiment stood majestically in front of the computer room, holding microphones, and loudly commanding all battalions and companies to enter. The 162nd Regiment usually enters the theater as a battalion unit to watch movies, and the positions are fixed.

When they entered the field, the soldiers were very serious, and the leaders of each battalion and company were also tense. This is because every link must be evaluated from entering the theater to watching a movie after entering the theater, and every unit hopes that it will perform its best, and does not want to make a fool of itself in front of the officers and men of the whole regiment, especially the regimental leaders.

The first battalion of fighters quickly finished entering, holding small benches in their hands, and standing in order. Hearing the battalion attendant shouting, "Put the bench!" and "snap," more than 500 small benches in the battalion fell to the ground in one order, and it was simply a sound, without a single noise. The officer on duty shouted again: "Sit down!" The more than 500 soldiers of the whole battalion sat down as if they were one. After sitting down, all the warriors put their hands on their knees, their waists straight, and their eyes looking straight ahead.

After the whole regiment of soldiers entered, the troops began to sing. The troops have the habit of singing songs, whether it is watching movies or other large and small gatherings, as long as they gather, they will generally sing. First, the military staff officer commanded the whole regiment to sing the "March of the People's Liberation Army", and then the song really began. As soon as the chorus landed, the instructor of the Fifth Company stood up and shouted, "One Company!" The soldiers of the Fifth Company shouted in unison: "Come one!" followed by a burst of rhythmic applause. The deputy instructor of the first company walked to the front and shouted: "This is a fine morning, prepare for the singing", and the soldiers of the first company suddenly shouted at the top of their voices: "It is a clear morning, the pigeon whistle is accompanied by the sound of the wake-up trumpet, but the world is not peaceful......

After the singing, the incandescent lights around the square went out, and the scene suddenly fell into darkness.

A bluish pillar of light is projected onto the screen, and the movie officially begins.

After the movie began, the screening room was quiet, there was no human voice, and the soldiers were very engaged. When the Falcon team appeared on the stage, when Li Qianping sang "When That Day Comes", Xu Wangqiu heard a soldier behind him humming softly, and then someone next to him whispered: "Be quiet, don't affect everyone." ”

However, when Li Qianping sacrificed to protect the radio station, Yan Shuangying and the Falcon team sang "When That Day Comes", and the soldiers present all sang along. This song is not only sung to Li Qianping to see him off, but also to himself, because they will soon go to the battlefield. For them, that day has really come.

The soldier's singing fell on Xu Wangqiu's heart like a torrential rain, and spread into his eyes, making his eyes red and his nose sour. He turned his head and saw that Tang Guoqiang and Zhou Lijin were quietly wiping their tears, and Su Bai was even more tearful, if she hadn't covered her mouth with her hands, I am afraid she would have cried.

The army has its own screening team, which will show movies to the soldiers, but the troops show all the movies of the Bayi Factory, fighting the Dongying people and the Kuomintang, and many movies have been watched countless times. "Falcon" is different, it is about fighting Vietnam, about recovering the country, and this is what they are about to do, so they feel very relatable, like they are watching their own story.

When they saw the Vietnamese shooting and killing overseas Chinese, the soldiers were furious and would say like Yan Shuangying, kill these white-eyed wolves; when they saw the Falcon Squad annihilating the Vietnamese troops in the village, the soldiers would applaud and cheer loudly when they saw the Falcon Squad shoot down the Vietnamese helicopter; they would cry when they saw the Falcon Squad sacrifice and Chang Chao and their rolling thunder one after another. They are actually no different from ordinary young people, they like to sing, they like to watch movies, and they also have girls they like, but they have chosen another life, serving the country in the army.

When Yan Shuangying stood in the middle of the screen, holding the microphone in his right hand, and shouted "Regain my territory and fire at the enemy's depth", the soldiers at the scene were excited, eager to recover the territory occupied by the Vietnamese like the troops in the movie. The deputy instructor of the first company stood up directly, raised his right hand into a fist, and shouted loudly: "Take back my territory! Take back my territory!" More than 2,000 soldiers in the audience shouted: "Take back my territory!

The whole movie is two hours long, but the soldiers on the scene feel that time flies, and even feel that it will be over after watching it for a while, and they feel that they are still unfinished.

When the subtitles began to cross, the song of "When That Day Comes" sounded again, and the more than 2,000 soldiers in the audience sang along: "It is a fine morning, and the pigeon whistle is accompanied by the wake-up trumpet; Are you ready, brothers, soldiers, when that day really comes. Rest assured, motherland, rest assured, relatives, for the sake of victory, I will move forward bravely......"

As soon as the song was sung, the deputy instructor of the first company stood up again and shouted: "Take back my territory!

The shouts of more than 2,000 soldiers in the audience echoed like a ringing bronze bell, echoing in the sky above Mengzi: "Take back my territory!
