Fierce battle in Gangnam

Previous Chapter

The first round of broadcasts of the "large-scale anti-Japanese war epic masterpiece" "Fierce Battle in Jiangnan" was completed, and this TV series reflecting the Taihu guerrillas in those years aroused criticism from some old people in Wuxi.

A few days ago, the son of a former guerrilla contacted this newspaper and called on the people of Wuxi to attach importance to their homeland

"Red Culture". Liu Xiaosui, 55, who works in Zhenjiang, and his father, Liu Mingyuan, was the former deputy director of the Xinan Office of the New Fourth Army and participated in the anti-Japanese struggle of the Taihu guerrillas.

Yesterday, the reporter interviewed Liu Xiaosui by phone, and he said that he was surprised when he watched "Fierce Battle of Jiangnan".

"Love Triangle",

"Spy warfare" aside, the basic historical facts are not correct. in the play

"Commander Xue" alludes to Xue Yonghui, in fact, he has never been the commander of the Taihu guerrillas. Many things happened in Wuxi in the Taihu guerrillas, and the play only had Suzhou, and it was regrettable that the things in Wuxi were not mentioned at all.

In fact, there is a memorial hall and monument to the Taihu guerrilla anti-Japanese detachment in Mashan, and most of the veterans choose to be buried there.

Historical facts in Wuxi, the leader is also a native of Wuxi, his father died in 1997, there are few old comrades-in-arms who are still alive, and it is a pity that the red resources are not well explored.

According to relevant reports, the exterior scenes of "Fierce Battle in Jiangnan" were mostly filmed in Shajiabang, Yangcheng Lake, and Shantang Street in Suzhou.

It tells the revolutionary deeds of the New Fourth Army and the Taihu guerrillas in the south of the Yangtze River in their arduous struggle against the enemy. Ning Haiqiang, the director of the play, said that the biggest attraction of this TV series is that the battlefield is placed in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, which has a very strong Jiangnan style, and also adds factors such as intelligence spy warfare and revolutionary love.

Whether Xue Yonghui has served in history

The "commander" may be controversial, but according to a random survey by reporters, Wuxi people in their 50s are still very familiar with the Taihu guerrillas, and some of them have heard reports on the revolutionary traditions of the old guerrillas when they were in elementary school.

In Xuelang, Mashan and other areas along the lake, many elderly people still like to tell anecdotes about the Taihu guerrillas. In Xushe Village, the reporter also saw some relics of that year.

Mr. Wang, who is over the age of six, told reporters that Xue Yonghui had been the magistrate of Wuxi County, and many old Wuxi were familiar with him, and he saw the land certificate stamped with Xue Yonghui's seal when he was a child.

When "Fierce Battle Jiangnan" was broadcast on CCTV, he had watched a few episodes piecemeal, although the commander in the play was called

"Xue Honghui", but at a glance, you know that it is Xue Yonghui. But most of the scenes and environments in the play are in Suzhou, and some love triangles and spy scenes are too exaggerated.

"Entertainment is okay, but the Wuxi people who are familiar with the Taihu guerrillas always look a little awkward, so we didn't look carefully." The Taihu guerrillas are a part of Wuxi's red memory, and they also involve too complex times and characters.

A person who is quite concerned about Wuxi's modern history told this reporter: Although the Taihu guerrillas were later brought under the leadership of the party and became a part of the New Fourth Army, due to historical reasons, their members came from complicated backgrounds.

The special environment in Wuxi during the Anti-Japanese War doomed these members to maneuver between various forces such as the Communist Party, the Kuomintang, Wang Puppet, the Japanese, and even the Lake Bandits, leaving some inconclusive conclusions so far

"Historical mysteries" are very normal. It is impossible for a popular TV series to explain these problems.

Another senior local history expert said that he hadn't watched "Fierce Battle of Jiangnan" yet

"Bombing Hongqiao Airport",

"Attack on Hushuguan Railway Station",

The "Chongshan Island Breakout" was indeed a legendary battle of the Taihu guerrillas in those years.
