The prototype of the protagonist in the old movies Shangganling and Surprise Attack appeared on the screen. They held any post after the war.

On the occasion of commemorating the 70th anniversary of Chinese people's Volunteer Army's war to resist US aggression and aid Korea, some veteran volunteers appeared on the screen in interviews with the media. Thankfully, these heroes are still in their prime in their eighties.

In TV news reports, I am very happy to see the true prototype of company commander Zhang Zhongfa in the old movie Shangganling and the true prototype of company commander Zhang in China in the old movie Surprise.

Both old heroes are over 90 years old. Talking about the past of the Korean battlefield 70 years ago, they are still so clear-headed and eloquent. They can clearly remember where they fought several wars and how many comrades they sacrificed.

Years are like songs, and heroes are not old.

Zhang was born in 1926, Zanhuang County, Hebei Province. At the end of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression,/kloc joined the army at the age of 0/9 and became a soldier in the Independent Regiment of the First Division of the Eighth Route Army Taihang.

He went to the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea with 195 1 and served as the 7th company commander of the 45th division of the Volunteer Army 15 Army in the Battle of Shangganling.

In the brutal Battle of Shangganling, Zhang Ji Fa led the company to stick to it for 43 days in the tunnels lacking water, food, medicine and ammunition, which not only repelled the enemy's crazy attacks again and again, but also retaken the position several times, successfully completing the task of sticking to and fighting back given by the superiors.

After the war, the 7th Company of 65438 Regiment +035 Regiment won the first-class merit. Company commander Zhang was awarded the first-class merit and the second-class medal of independence and freedom of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

1954 Zhang returned to China and participated in the British model congress of the Central South Military Region as a representative of the British model. 1In the autumn of 955, Zhang Ji Fa, who had been promoted to deputy battalion commander, entered Nanjing Senior Infantry School under the care of the organization. 1963, he retired from the post of deputy chief of staff of the regiment due to illness, and was arranged to rest in Xinyang Military Division cadre sanatorium in Henan Province.

1957, Chairman Mao instructed relevant parties to film the Battle of Shangganling. Chang Ying Factory, which specializes in shooting military films, immediately set up a creative team, with Sha Meng and Lin Shan as directors. Because Lin Shan has created many revolutionary works, he, Cao Xin,, are the creators of the script of Shangganling. The directors visited Shangganling twice and experienced the life of volunteers. They also decided to invite Zhang, the prototype of the leading role, as a cast consultant. As Zhang was making up his studies in Nanjing, he couldn't come.

However, Zhang is indeed the prototype of Zhang Zhongfa, the company commander of the Eighth Company in the old film Shangganling, and also the witness and author of the "One Apple" text in primary school textbooks.

From War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression to the War of Liberation, and then to the front line to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, Zhang fought for 10 years, was injured eight times, won the first class merit four times, and won the first class merit two times. He is a worthy hero company commander.

After the film Shangganling was released, Zhang Ji Fa watched it many times, but he failed to see it from beginning to end. Usually, he only dares to watch in the middle. The reason is that the actual combat scenes in his memory are far more tragic than those in the movie, and those comrades who died make him feel sad when he thinks about them. ...

After leaving his post to recuperate, Zhang regarded caring and educating the next generation as his sacred duty. While persisting in the struggle against diseases, he went to Hubei, Henan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu, Guangdong and other provinces and regions countless times to give thousands of revolutionary traditional reports, with millions of listeners.

Zhang's wife, Wei Zuqin, is a family composed of dating organizations. They have four daughters, three of whom joined the army. 1967 The youngest daughter born has been in the front line of the army and is already a commander.

94-year-old Zhang recently appeared on the screen, telling the story of "an apple" in the battle of Shangganling, and also telling the touching story that the operator was too thirsty to speak, and he did not hesitate to bleed and drool to moisten his throat. ...

Zhang

Zhang, the old hero of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, is the true prototype of Yong Fang, the reconnaissance company commander in the old movie Surprise. Now he is 98 years old.

At that time, he led an advance team of the 38 th Army to go deep into the enemy's rear with wit, blew up Wuling Bridge in one fell swoop, cut off the retreat and backup of the enemy who fled south, and played a key role in the victory of the second campaign to resist US aggression and aid Korea.

After the war, Zhang was awarded the first class by the headquarters of the Volunteers. He is also the only 38 th Corps-level cadre who made a first-class merit in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

(of Zhang's later years)

He was born in Pingyao, Shanxi Province, 1922, and 1937 took part in the revolution. He has served as a soldier of the Sixth Squadron of the Second Brigade of Shanxi Political Guard, a surveyor of the First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army's Jinxi Detachment, a reconnaissance platoon leader of the reconnaissance team of the Second Army Division of Shanxi Province, and a reconnaissance staff officer and chief of the reconnaissance section of the Second Army Division Command.

In 1 year, when he entered the Korean War, Kui Zhang was appointed as the head of the reconnaissance section of the 38th Army of the Volunteers and the deputy head of the intelligence section of the 38th Army Command. Since then, he has served as the director of the training department of the 50th Army, the director of the training department of the 38th Army, the chief of staff and deputy division commander of the division, and the deputy chief of staff of the Heilongjiang Military Region. From 65438 to 0982, he enjoyed the treatment of deputy military post and left his post to recuperate.

The thrilling story of the legendary battlefield originated in the afternoon of1950165438+1October 24th.

The day before the second campaign to resist US aggression and aid Korea started, Liang Xingchu, commander of the 38th Army of the Volunteers, issued an order to call Zhang, the head of the reconnaissance section of the military department, and cut to the chase.

"Give you a task. You and Zhou Wenhua, the reconnaissance captain of 1 13 division, took two companies and two engineering platoons, with English and Korean translators, and more than 300 people formed an advance team of troops. With the cooperation of the Internal Affairs Department of South Pyongan Province in North Korea, it is necessary to sneak into the south of Tokugawa and blow up Tokugawa Tongshunchuan and Pyongyang Wuling Bridge before 8 am on the 26th. Do you dare to perform this task? "

At that time, 28-year-old Zhang stood up and replied firmly: "What's not to dare!"

Liang didn't say much, just waved and ordered, "OK, let's go!" "

This is a real scene in the second campaign to resist US aggression and aid Korea.

In many historical materials recording the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the story of this ingenious and bold surprise attack behind enemy lines is described in detail. In Volume 23 (Zhang Zhu) of The Romance of China and China published by Writers Publishing House, the title of this chapter is: Mao died in Dayu Cave and Zhang raided Wuling Bridge.

The old film Surprise is an artistic representation of this thrilling experience.

According to records, after the Battle of Tokugawa, when Han Xianchu, commander-in-chief of the Western Front of the Volunteers, handed the battle report of the 38th Army of Tokugawa to the General Command of the Volunteers, Commander Peng could not help but comment happily: "This 38th Army is very powerful, and the surprise attack on Wuling Bridge is wonderful ..."

1960, based on the existing military education film "Surprise on Wuling Bridge", Bayi Film Studio successfully filmed a well-known feature film "Surprise" with the war case written by Li Yang and Zheng Hong, directed by Xu Youxin, and starring Zhang Yongshou, Ji Tianxing,, and so on.

The uniqueness of this film, which is deeply loved by the audience, is that it is directed by soldiers who have really experienced the bonfire in the Korean battlefield, using real materials and live ammunition in the shooting. Zhang Yongshou, the actor of the Chinese company commander, is also an old soldier who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

Yin once said: "I have seen the movie Surprise many times. Although it is artistic compared with real events, this film is very real. Every time I watch it, I always think of my comrades-in-arms, but after all, the film is not as good as the actual war case, and there are still many wonderful places that have not been filmed ... "

In his later years, Zhang was often filled with emotion.

He likes to talk about fallen comrades, but he doesn't talk about himself. He explained that in the film, there was a scene in which Yong Fang and a squad leader disguised as enemy soldiers stopped a car on the road and conducted reconnaissance on Kangping Bridge, which was artistically invented by the film director.

The core of the movie Surprise is to insert the enemy's back and "blow up bridges" to stop the enemy. It can also be said that this bridge is the most important thing around the movie plot. The bridge in the film is named "Kangping Bridge".

However, few people may know that the Kangping Bridge in the film was shot at Cangshan Bridge in Xikou Town, Fenghua, Zhejiang Province, instead of Wuling Bridge on the Korean front.

When shooting a thrilling jump shot, the director asked for an extra shot. In the film, Fang Lianchang grabbed the steering wheel of a jeep that was galloping from a squad leader. After the comrades jumped out of the car, he drove alone to attract the pursuers to the cliff. Just before the car fell off the cliff, he flew into the roadside, and the jeep fell into the valley and caused a fire.

When the enemy pursuers saw the burning car wreckage under the cliff, they mistakenly thought that the soldiers' cars were all destroyed and said with a smug smile, "Run, I'll see where you are going!" "

For his heroic performance in the film that year, Zhang Yongshou just smiled faintly: "At that time, he was young and had experience in fighting on the battlefield, so shooting this thrilling shot basically hit it off and won't hurt."

After retirement, Zhang Kuiyin worked as an off-campus counselor at Yuhong Primary School in nangang district, Harbin. At other times, I like to read military books anytime and anywhere. Until now, he still treasures the important maps of the attack on Wuling Bridge and a bunch of military medals he won.

In the face of these medals that record combat achievements, Kui Zhang always thinks of his fallen comrades.

Zhang's wife Chi Xiuqin is also his comrade-in-arms. She used to be a typist at the headquarters of the Volunteers. After four battles, Yin was transferred to the Volunteer Command for a period of time. They got married in 1954 and had four children.

For many years, Zhang Quinn never revealed that he was the prototype of the protagonist in the movie Surprise. People didn't know Zhang Quinn's heroic deeds until researchers of military history and war history came to the door.

Yin said: "This is all in the past. Fighting for the motherland and the people is the bounden duty of revolutionary soldiers in party member. What can I say compared with the comrades who died? All the honors were exchanged by comrades with their lives and blood. "
