The film of New China should start from the battle of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1935.

In 1935, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) took Lin Han's "Silver Bullet" as the pioneer and took Shanghai within 24 hours, and then resolved the concession issue within 24 hours, and then broke out in the "Intervention War" that shocked the world and the British and Japanese forces jointly intervened in the Chinese revolution.

The war lasted for a year and a half, and the end result was the final result of the collapse of the forces south of the Great Wall of China between Britain and Japan, and the young New China regained most of its territory and lost rights and interests in the war.

The first film of New China was born in the smoke of gunpowder, he was filmed in the liberated areas before the People's Liberation Army launched the May Offensive, and it was just finished after the capture of Shanghai.

The first film was a movie called "Mine Warfare", which was actually written from the perspective of a military-themed science and education film. The starting point of this plan is to prepare for the maximum mobilization of the armed forces in the rural areas of the liberated areas around the viewpoint of "people's war" put forward by Chairman Lee Run-seok.

The main starting point of the film is to teach the people how to make land mines, how to use mines correctly, how to use mines with the help of mines, and so on.

After the capture of Shanghai, many copies of the film were made and then repeatedly played in the liberated areas.

In addition, there was also the military science and education film "Guerrillas on the Plains," which was completed in July 1935, in order to guide the local armed forces in various localities on how to organize the masses, mobilize the masses, and cooperate with the actions of the main forces.

These two films are both "semi-film science and education films" with military themes, and because they are shot in great detail and professionally, they were even regarded as "rebellion guides" by red guerrillas in various countries in later generations. Later generations of terrorists regarded "Mine Warfare" as the "Bible". In particular, the drama "Mine Warfare" was once banned in many countries, even China itself, because of its "professional and detailed" instructions on how to make improvised explosive devices. After decades, it was quietly blocked from the shelves. Because of this, many years later, many Chinese netizens called the film a "divine drama".

The real movie is the anti-espionage film "The Eye Over Shanghai and Hangzhou", which was filmed after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1937 and reflected the background of the Shanghai-Hangzhou War, and later the sister chapter of this film. "The Eagle Over Shanghai and Hangzhou" on the theme of air combat movies.

The eyes of "Eyes Over Shanghai and Hangzhou", the script of which was written by Lin Han himself, wrote the original creative ideas, and then the writers of the domestic left-wing Federation of Literary and Art Circles helped to perfect the script.

The specific plot tells the story of after the People's Liberation Army took Shanghai in 1935, due to the special historical background of Shanghai, a large number of foreign spies and former artillery party spies were left in the local area, and these people colluded with the British and Japanese intervention forces to constantly transmit intelligence to the outside world.

in the plot. At the same time as the Shanghai Air War, the PLA received several radars aided by Germany, and relying on the superiority of radars, it has always firmly controlled the air supremacy over Shanghai Airlines. While the British and Japanese air forces suffered enough, they also realized that there was a pair of invisible eyes watching the battlefield over Shanghai Airlines, so they tried every means to find out and sabotage.

At the critical moment of the Battle of Xuzhou, the Japanese organized a special force to infiltrate Shanghai disguised as a People's Liberation Army (PLA) with foreign support. I want to wait for the opportunity to attack the radar battle.

Thanks to the help of spies and foreign agencies, the Japanese Einsatzgruppen was able to operate smoothly in the early stage. They deceived the PLA troops on the periphery, deceived the checkpoints, and deceived the police who maintained law and order in Shanghai, but they did not deceive the ubiquitous "neighborhood committee" aunts among the people. Then it was reported, and finally the story of the annihilation of the whole army under the encirclement and suppression of the People's Liberation Army that rushed to it.

The leading idea of this film's script is to publicize the importance of anti-espionage and anti-spy work to the masses and raise the people's awareness of counter-espionage. Part of the plot of the movie is taken from the famous World War II film "The Eagle Over London" - the movie sounds like an air war movie. But in fact, it is also a counter-espionage film.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, President Dewey was even brought back to the United States when he visited China, becoming the first film of New China to land in the United States.

Another movie, "The Eagle in the Sky Over Shanghai Airlines", is an air combat film with a pure heroic theme, which was carefully prepared by Lin Han in order to brush up on his daughter Li Huamei's fan value.

The film was actually filmed at the same time as "The Eye Over Shanghai Airlines", and the props and actors are all used together, not only some air battle scenes, but even some plots are connected. To paraphrase a popular phrase, this is actually the same movie, but it was cut into two under the action of the director's scissorhands.

The plot of the film reflects the plot of the young Chinese Air Force, with the help of the Soviet and German air forces, to resist the British and Japanese forces over Shanghai and Hangzhou. The special thing about the film is that most of the pilots in the film are directly starred by the Air Force pilots themselves, and a large number of Soviet and German pilots can be seen in the film. Except for a few actors who are played by others, most of the members who appear on the screen are those who have participated in the Shanghai Air Battle.

The biggest selling point of the film is two.

First, the planes that appear in the film are all real goods, and they are all in the sky over Shanghai Airlines. From the famous HE51 and FW90 in Germany, the I16 and Wave 2 in the Soviet Union, and then to the Type 92, Bulldog, and Gladiator used by the British and Japanese Air Forces, as well as the Hawker II and P26 in the United States. For military fans of later generations, it is really addictive to see so many planes appear at the same time in one movie and in the complicated scenes of air battles.

The second is the pilots of the planes, many of whom are later famous ace pilots, including the famous German ace pilot Garland, the famous Soviet ace pilot Pokryshkin, all of whom have special shots of their faces in the movie, and the most famous ace pilot, Li Huamei, nicknamed Red Eagle and Blue Thirteen, also appeared in the movie.

Another tidbit from the film is that Colonel Winck, the famous British ace pilot who participated in the air battle that year, and then the Spanish air battle, and the French air battle in the One Year War, also appeared in the film footage in the later remaster.

Colonel Wink shot down 25 warplanes in his lifetime and was Britain's number one ace pilot. But he is best known not for his fall, but for his "fall". He was shot down by Li Huamei four times in Shanghai, China, Spain, and Dunkirk, France, and each time he was lucky not to die, was injured, and successfully parachuted, so that he won the titles of "Lucky Wink" and "NOwomancanKILLhim" among his peers.

After the end of the Pacific War in 1947, when Winck, who had been promoted to colonel, visited China with the British delegation, he flew in Shanghai in the famous gladiator fighting in the sky and Li Huamei's HE51 for aerial performances. In the 1935 War for the Founding of the People's Republic of China, the Chinese captured many British fighters before and after the war, and the most used gladiator fighters were the ones that were the most captured. Lin Han knew that these captured foreign planes would be of great use in making movies in the future, and after the war, he ordered several of them to be kept and sealed for careful maintenance for filming and collection. At the same time, out of the personal preference of "collecting aircraft", after the war, he also used various channels to pay for the spare parts and even complete aircraft of these obsolete aircraft abroad.

Before Colonel Winck's visit to Shanghai, Lin Han, who had ulterior motives, had ordered the fighter fighters on the airport to be painted back to the British army livery.

At that time, the cameraman on the side took a lot of shots of him flying in the air, including the scene of him and Li Huamei performing an air combat in the air, and later ordered the director to use scissor hands to cut these shots into the movie.

Afterwards, Lin Han sent the "lucky gentle colonel" a check for a hundred pounds as the cost of his "friendship appearance".

Because all of them were professional and high-quality pilots who participated in the exercise in their "true colors", the scenes of air combat were very "professional" and were very sought after by military fans of later generations.

In the hall of the Shanghai Air War Museum, every time the museum is open for tourists to enter and visit, the movie shown in the museum is this "Eagle in the Sky over Shanghai Airlines".

After the 80s, China released an arcade air combat game called the "Striker" series, and many of the air combat scenes at the beginning of the game were taken from this movie.

The Striker series is an air combat game, and in its first generation, the six aircraft available for the game are the Chinese HE51, the German FW90, the Soviet I16, the Japanese Type 92, the British Gladiator, and the American Hawker II.

In this game, the pilot's avatar piloting the gladiator fighter is based on Colonel Wink. What made Colonel Wenke himself more depressed was that after the end of that flight, Lin Han immediately ordered someone to send the plane he had driven directly to the Shanghai Air War Museum, and decades later, he shamelessly erected a real wax figure of Colonel Wenk next to this plane, and the instructions on the side also introduced in detail to the tourists and audiences the "legendary experience" of being shot down by Li Huamei four times in his life and not dying.

It was also because of this incident that Colonel Winck was "lucky" to become the "most familiar" British soldier with the Chinese.

In addition to these two films, there is also a film for the Navy "Sea Eagle", the plot of which is the plot of the Nanchang torpedo boat and the Zhenhai protective cruiser off the coast of Shanghai on that rainy night in 1935, with fewer strikes and more shots, and the plot of the Japanese Third Fleet.
