"Forward, forward, forward! Our team is facing the sun, with our feet on the land of the motherland, and carrying the hope of the nation. We are an invincible force..." Written by Wang Chaozhu, written by Chi Xu and Ni Zuming Directed by Tang Guoqiang, Liu Jin, Ma Xiaowei, Wen Xin, and Wang Wufu, the 33-episode TV series " Our Team Goes to the Sun " was recently broadcast on the CCTV TV Drama Channel Classic Theater. The play takes the military song that is the soul of the army as the title and main melody, takes the development of the revolutionary situation in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region during the Liberation War as the background, and takes the Yang Luogeng Corps as the object, showing that the people's army is all under the correct leadership of the Party Central Committee headed by Mao Zedong. , with the support of the broad masses of the people, the story of finally winning the Liberation War after an arduous battle not only demonstrated the fearless heroism of our army, but also demonstrated the glory of the people's army from small to large, from weak to strong, and from victory to victory. .
During the War of Liberation, among all the corps of our army, only one was famous for the combined surnames of its commanders, which frightened the Kuomintang reactionaries. This was made famous by Mao Zedong, with Yang Dezhi as commander and Luo Ruiqing as commander. The "Yang Luogeng Corps", with political commissar and chief of staff Geng Biao, is also known as the Second Corps of the North China Military Region of the People's Liberation Army. The TV series "Our Troops Facing the Sun" tells the story of this famous corps, which condenses the essence of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and creates an invincible and powerful war story. This is also the first time in the history of Chinese TV dramas to comprehensively and completely show the history of the revolutionary struggle of Yang Luogeng Corps and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Base Area, which is full of highlights.
First of all, it vividly depicts the group portraits of Yang Dezhi, Luo Ruiqing, Geng Biao and other leading cadres who are not afraid of powerful enemies, able to win battles, have strong will and excellent work style. Yang Dezhi has a quick personality, quick thinking, quick movements, and quick use of troops. Yang Dezhi has been inseparable from the word "fast" throughout his life, and he has the reputation of "the wind on the battlefield". Luo Ruiqing has a careful mind, loves literature and art, has a wide range of interests, is keen on sports, and loves reading. He can be called an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. Geng Biao is wise, pragmatic, studious, and perseverant. The three people worked together to bring out the best in each other and brought out an iron-blooded lion.
In terms of military strength, the enemy is strong and we are weak. However, under the command of the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao, Yang Luogeng's regiment gave up its position in Zhangjiakou. The troops flexibly crushed the enemy's attack, and instead became stronger from weak. In 1946, the enemy pressed heavily on the border, and our army suffered heavy losses in the Jining Battle of Datong and the Zhangjiakou Battle. Fu Zuoyi captured Zhangjiakou, the largest city occupied by our army in North China. He was so proud that he published an "Open Letter to Mao Zedong" to persuade Mao Zedong to surrender. Under the direct command of Mao Zedong, Zhu De and other Central Military Commissions, Yang Luogeng's regiment summarized the lessons of failure and jumped out of the outer line to fight. After full discussion and research, it regrouped and launched the Baonan Campaign. It successively conquered Wangdu and Dingxian, and launched the Qingfengdian Campaign. Yang Dezhi " "The strong wind on the battlefield" attacked 250 miles away and captured the enemy commander Luo Lirong alive. Then, in accordance with Chairman Mao's deployment, the Shijiazhuang Campaign was launched, which connected the two liberated areas of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan. It set a precedent for the People's Liberation Army to capture important cities and provided valuable experience for future urban operations. Unwilling to fail, Fu Zuoyi wanted to attack Shijiazhuang and Xibaipo. Yang Luogeng's regiment, which was fighting on the outside, quickly returned to support. The 7th Column in North China, which was performing the task of protecting the autumn harvest, resisted steadily along the banks of the Shahe River and Hutuo River south of Baoding, between Xinle and Zhengding. The 3rd Column of the first main force They marched lightly and ran over the enemy's car wheels on two legs. They covered more than 500 miles in four days. Many officers and soldiers had blood blisters on their feet, and in severe cases, they even became suppurated, but no one complained. Tired, they all know that time is victory. The troops arrived in the city in time and intercepted the enemy frontally. At this point, the war situation turned dangerous. After that, Yang Luogeng's Corps supported the Liaoshen Campaign and served as reinforcement mission. After the Battle of Liaoshen, he returned to the army and entered the Pass. He first "gnawed hard" and defeated the 35th Army of Fu Zuoyi's ace army, regained Zhangjiakou, cut off Fu Zuoyi's troops' plan to return to their home base in Suiyuan, and laid the foundation for winning the peaceful liberation of Peiping. The basis for victory.
Secondly, the play truly reproduces Mao Zedong's superb military command art, and reproduces how Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Zhou Enlai and other leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China led the People's Liberation Army and the people to strategize and win thousands of miles, and worked hard and selflessly for the people's liberation cause. revolutionary spirit. In particular, Chairman Mao's military strategic thinking is comprehensively, profoundly and vividly expressed and explained in the play. The highest state of the art of war guidance is what Mao Zedong proposed, "You fight yours, and I fight mine." In his telegram to Nie Rongzhen during the Battle of Zhengtai, Mao Zedong proposed for the first time the idea of "hitting you, and I'll hit mine." His starting point was "hit the weak first, then the strong." In a word, it is necessary to "completely take the initiative to fight." Chiang Kai-shek, who was "led by the nose" by the People's Liberation Army, was eager to get rid of passivity and began to change his military strategy from "all-out attack" to "focused attack" in an attempt to seize Yan'an. With confidence in mind, Mao Zedong made his own choice: voluntarily abandon Yan'an. As Mao Zedong expected, Hu Zongnan, who was restrained everywhere, was trapped in the northwest battlefield, unable to move, and had to flee Yan'an a year later in April 1948. As soon as our army's strategic retreat ended, Mao Zedong directed the People's Liberation Army to skip the strategic counteroffensive stage and directly enter the strategic offensive, which greatly accelerated the process of the Liberation War. In the play, Mao Zedong was furious at Yang Luogeng's regiment, which was delayed for five days due to a damaged transmitter and lost contact, and Cheng Zihua's troops who were delayed in attacking Miyun after entering the customs. He severely criticized it on behalf of the Central Military Commission and urged them to arrive at the designated location on time. . The play provides in-depth thinking and historical interpretation on issues such as the sign of "being able to fight", the secret of "winning the war", the key to "obeying command", the source of "combat effectiveness", etc. The theme of the whole play is in line with and completely consistent with the party's goal of building a strong military that obeys the party's command, can win wars, and has a good work style in the new era, and has strong practical significance.
Secondly, it highlights that "the soldiers and the people are the foundation of victory." The People's Army comes from the people, the People's Army loves the people, and has won the support and support of the people. The play vividly depicts Zhu De taking the lead in observing the three major disciplines and eight points of attention - you must pay when buying rice dumplings, Yang Dezhi secretly left the money after eating the rice dumplings from the fellow villagers, and Geng Biao also had to pay attention to the fruits he ate from the unattended orchard on the roadside in order to rush on the road. Leave the money... Especially in one plot: the troops forcibly crossed the Shah River and waded through waist-deep icy water. The local people who came to greet them had already set up dozens of large iron pots and boiled ginger syrup and hot water. Water to warm the soldiers and let them soak their feet in hot water. In particular, an old lady put the female soldier's feet into her arms to keep them warm. She took off her shoes and put them on the female soldier who had lost her shoes and had blood blisters on her feet... These touching plots are real. It reproduces the moving scenes and vivid details of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei people's enthusiastic support for the People's Liberation Army. Yang Dezhi said with emotion after his victory that this was "a victory for the people."
The whole play uses a time and space narrative in which the two fronts of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party go hand in hand. It uses contrasting techniques to reveal the corruption of the Kuomintang. Chiang Ching-kuo's "tiger hunt" in Shanghai had to end hastily because Kong Xiangxi, one of the "four major families", was moved. His son Kong Lingkan was the "cheese". Chiang Kai-shek personally warned his son that tiger hunting had shaken the interests of Jiangsu and Zhejiang capital consortiums, which would shake the foundation of the Chiang family. After that, the currency in the Kuomintang-controlled areas went out of control, devalued significantly, and inflation was unprecedentedly serious. A sack of legal currency could not buy a few grains of grain. The intrigues among the Kuomintang factions have become increasingly acute, and the presidential campaign has become a farce. People in the Kuomintang-controlled areas were in dire straits, and the economy was on the verge of collapse. And "The sky in the liberated areas is sunny, and the people in the liberated areas like it very much." It is a prosperous scene. Through the description of the different performances and trends of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the contest and destiny of the two different camps are shown. Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world, the wheel of history is unstoppable, and the demise of the Jiang Dynasty has become a foregone conclusion. The series brings profound ideological enlightenment to the audience, especially young audiences. The
TV series "Our Team Goes to the Sun" is a brilliant masterpiece that reflects the people's army's march from victory to victory. It is deeply loved by the audience, winning reputation and ranking first in prime time ratings. (Wang Yongli)
