What does 9853 written on the gun in "Let the Bullets Fly" mean?

The number 9853 was not engraved casually. It represented the entire number of people in the central column of the Red Army at that time. During the Long March of the First Front Army of the Red Army, there were 19,880 people in the First Army Corps, 17,805 people in the Third Army Corps, 12,168 people in the Fifth Army Corps, 10,922 people in the Eighth Army Corps, 11,538 people in the Ninth Army Corps, 4,693 people in the Military Commission Column, and 9,853 people in the Central Column, which was exactly the same as the group on the muzzle. Numbers echo.

The Central Column is an armed force established during the Agrarian Revolution, also known as the Zhu Mao Army and the Military Commission Column. He has participated in five counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns. He also participated in the 25,000-mile Long March, and was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army during the Anti-Japanese War. Jiang Wen put this set of numbers on the muzzle of the gun, which is also a metaphor. Once the gun is fired, the future of Goose City will change.

Extended information:

"Let the Bullets Fly" is not an original script, but adapted from the novel "Ten Stories of a Night Story". The story itself is about a cadre in Sichuan , adapted from my own personal experience, so many of the seemingly absurd scenes in the movie actually have a lot of basis in reality.

The story "Let the Bullets Fly" is filled with a lot of realistic evidence, from the various props that appear in the movie to many storylines, and even Mr. Huang, played by Chow Yun-fat, can do it in real life. Find the prototype.
