Prop piercing, shifting flowers and trees, and exaggeration: "Yai Hundred" underestimated the military fans?

believes that many people have already watched "Eight Hundreds" and have seen all kinds of discussions about the film, which is very controversial. The battle of

is less than a week in history, and the battle itself is not complicated.

This article may contain spoilers, but after I returned from the movie theater, I watched "Yabai" and released a lot of trailers. I found that all important scenes of this movie were officially spoiled, so that it was easy to find pictures.

Weapon and props

For decades, the level of props of Chinese anti-Japanese themes and even military-themed movies and televisions has deteriorated severely, and there are many dramas that constantly penetrate the lower limit.

Therefore, film and television dramas with more sophisticated props naturally attract attention.

In "Yubai", we have seen many weapons and equipment of normal standards, such as:

wearing German M35 helmets or British flat-top helmets, national army wearing gray winter clothes,

security regiment police cap badge and style Then mistakenly used the style before 1935. The machine gunner of the national army of

wore shoulder guards, and the

Min-24 heavy machine gun was finally equipped with a cooling water pipe, and the dialogue indicated the need to add water for cooling.

grenade is a Gong-made grenade, instead of the People’s Liberation Army’s 67 type wooden handle grenade. The

concession British army is holding a Li Enfei rifle and wearing an integrated waterproof canvas gear instead of other weapons and equipment. Filled up.

The Japanese army wore the Show 5 military uniform. The

Japanese army also had a 95-style small four-wheel-drive passenger vehicle (95-style small four-wheel-start passenger car) which was mass-produced in 1936. The wheel-driven military vehicle may be the first appearance in domestic film and television.

However, this does not mean that the props in this film and television drama are not at all wrong, for example:


There is a Japanese full-track transport vehicle that has been featured many times, and the Japanese army does have it. This type of military vehicle is called a type 98 six-ton ​​tractor (type 98 six-ton ​​tractor).


Type 98 six-ton ​​tractor


This military vehicle is even unclear on the Internet in Japanese materials. I even doubt whether the crew deliberately made this kind of military vehicle whose information is difficult to find to test the audience. Judging from the so-called reaction of many military fans, the crew seems to have succeeded.

However, judging from the "Nine-Eight Type" and German materials in the model, it was mass-produced in Emperor 2598, that is, in 1938, after the four-line warehouse defense war, and it was used as a caliber of 105 mm and above. The heavy artillery tractor is not likely to be easily used to transport troops. The Japanese Marines in the movie


flashed past, and the netizens saw everything in the trailer. However, the Japanese Marine Corps is the main force in attacking the four-row warehouse, so it shouldn't be a part of this scene, and the uniform is wrong. The Japanese Marine Corps in the film

wears navy dark blue sailor uniforms, and the officers wear the first type of uniform (the first type of uniform), which was the uniform of the January 28th in 1932.


Marine Corps


Judging from historical photos and the 1939 film "Shanghai Marine Corps" which preached Japanese aggression, the Japanese Marine Corps had changed into green uniforms with shoulder loops and lapels during the Songhu Battle in 1937. The rank marks of non-commissioned officers and soldiers are worn on the sleeves. The officers wear horizontal epaulettes instead of the narrow vertical epaulettes of the Zhaowu style, and the officers’ uniforms are mostly custom-made, with suit lapels and dark blue or dark green ties. .

(note that the officer in the middle of the first row in the picture above is dressed up, wears a tie, and wears wide epaulettes. It may be the most "modern" military uniform in World War II.)

Marines have a green-brown helmet and a cap badge. The brass anchor and cherry blossom pattern, from the photo, they are wearing the "Navy Second Type Helmet", that is, the Navy version of the 90-style helmet.


The four-row garrison also used a Surotong ST-5 20mm cannon, but reminiscences show that the garrison only carried an anti-aircraft machine gun, not a cannon. The machine gun


in the film


has a mortar platoon in the four-row warehouse. There is a bunker in the concession across the river from the warehouse, which is not shown in these movies. In

movies, there are many sayings of German mechanics, but the reference to German mechanics only appeared later to distinguish the articulators. At that time, the reference was to adjusters.


Rewrite the battle

Four-line Defender-The 1st Battalion, 262 Brigade, 524 Regiment of the 88th Division did add a lot of "unknown names" in the Songhu Battle, which was an organizational supplement for the 4 squadrons of the 5th Regiment of Hubei Security, including 2 of them. The squadron consists of Tongcheng soldiers, with a membership of more than a hundred people, instead of collecting more than a dozen defeated soldiers along the way as stated in the film. There are not many historical characters in the

movie, but the original characters with only nicknames are a little overwhelming.

Among them, the old iron played by Jiang Wu is cowardly and cowardly. In the chaos, his face was wounded and his face was bandaged, which made people feel very uncomfortable. This way of injury is indeed unique:


Jiang Wu played the old iron


, The face was pierced by a bullet, and the bloody face was the third company commander, Shi Meihao, the former leader of the third security squadron of Tongcheng, who was brave in combat and could not get under the line of fire with minor injuries. After bandaging his face, he continued to fight.

And the old iron in the play is a bastard by a warlord army, he can't even shoot his gun, except for the performance at the end that seems to be stubbornly guarded, most of the time he is dragging his feet. Almost all the combat descriptions in the


movie are exaggerated.


For the first time in the battle, the Japanese soldiers rushed in when they saw the warehouse door open, but they were “closed and beaten” by the defensive army.


close the door and hit the dog


This is not a battle of the Four Elements Defence War, it is the battle of the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters at the beginning of the Songhu Battle. And unfortunately, the offensive and defensive sides of were completely reversed. :

On August 17, 1937, in the battle for the headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps, the 524 regiment 1 battalion, 2 companies and 3 rows Liu Yunfei led more than 20 people into the headquarters building, who Knowing that there are heavy barrier doors inside, the Japanese military uses motors to put down the barrier doors. The reinforcement cluster grenade outside

exploded, but it could not explode the iron gate. Liu Yunfei's back path inside was blocked and was flanked by the second floor and the bunker, all killed.

The Japanese army did not dare to use the poisonous gas in the Four Lines Warehouse, let alone the mustard poison gas, for fear of the poisonous gas drifting into the concession. This kind of poisonous gas cannot be protected by wet towels, and the movie department misleads the audience. All the battles above

were fabricated, so no Japanese soldiers were captured, nor were prisoners of war shot to violate international conventions. I don't know why the crew arranged for the defenders to shoot Japanese prisoners of war, probably to show the last young Japanese soldier crying and begging to show "humanity" and "anti-war"? Or is the crew fascinated by the story of how many Japanese prisoners of war Sun Liren buried alive? On the first day of the battle of

, the Japanese army found the southwest corner as a blind spot for firepower. They wanted to attack from here. They were discovered by the defenders and repelled with grenade (also called mortar shells), which was not mentioned in the movie. In the second battle of


, the Japanese army appeared in the movie to take off their clothes and sneak with a dagger from the waterway (sewer? Canal?) of the warehouse. There is no such record of in any historical data. If there is such a wide waterway, why didn't the defenders block it or send someone to guard it? Why did the Japanese attacking army only carry cold weapons? Wouldn't it be more advantageous to bring a pistol?


water ghost attack


As for offering a reward for using human life to pull the phone line, it is even out of nothing. The four-line warehouse was originally the warehouses of major banks and the 88 divisions and divisions. It has long been equipped with telephones. The defenders have used telephones many times to communicate with China and foreign countries in the concession. Contact the parties.

However, the scope of the Japanese Type 97 sniper rifle in the film is in line with history. This sniper rifle was in 1937.Mass-produced, it can be regarded as undressing.


sight


As for the boy scout Yang Huimin’s delivery of the national flag, there are a lot of reminiscences, and it is certain that it was not delivered alone. The warehouse later showed three sides, and the swimming incident was the reporter’s "wonderful pen to make flowers" in order not to be guilty. The concession does not expose the organizations in the concession that support the war of resistance.


Yang Huimin


The 1975 version of "The Eight Hundred Warriors" is so exaggerated, there are political considerations. I don't understand why this version is still shot like this.


As for historical data, the Japanese army bombarded the warehouse with small-caliber flat-fire artillery, and found that it could not penetrate. The materials donated by all walks of life arrived at night, and the first batch of wounded were transferred to the concession for treatment. During


, there was a scene where He Xiangning, a leftist, was watching the battle. He Xiangning wrote a letter to the guards of the Four Lines Warehouse. There is no record of whether he watched the battle. More importantly, He Xiangning was born in 1878. In 1937, was 59 years old and was 59 years old. After the scene


in the film


, the Japanese attacked with an iron plate and wanted to blast the warehouse wall. Chen Shusheng tied a grenade to his body and jumped off the building, killing and wounding the Japanese blasting team. Some sources believe that this person is Shi Xianda, and Chen Shusheng is identified in the memorial hall.

turned out to be a good movie, with a bunch of machine gun companies—the Chinese army lacked heavy weapons during the Anti-Japanese War. How precious and lacking were machine gunners, but they had to expose themselves?


count how many


seriously suspect that the crew used the section of "Shangganling" in which soldiers lined up to substitute casualty machine gunners for reference.


substitute machine gunner


However, "Shangganling" is to save yourself and destroy the enemy. What does this scene mean?


and the Japanese military excavators wanted to dig tunnels. They were evacuated after being discovered by the people in the concession. The film meant to dig walls?


As for the protection of the flag under the strafe of Japanese fighters, this section is a continuation of the 1975 version of "Eight Hundred Warriors", which is also a political consideration.

In the four-line warehouse defense battle , a total of three national flags were hung in the warehouse, two of which were hung at the window facing the concession side, declaring the determination to resist to the concession people and foreigners. One side hung on the roof. The Japanese plane seemed to be approaching at low altitude and was driven away by the defenders' anti-aircraft machine guns. That was all historical data. The real flag protection of

took place in the lone army camp on August 11, 1938. At that time, the lone army planned to commemorate the 88th Division’s expedition and the outbreak of the Songhu War. The concession was afraid of offending Japanese invaders and sent Belarusian soldiers from the International Business Corps to carry machine guns to snatch the flag. , Killed Liu Shangfang, You Changqing, Wu Zude, and Wang Wenyi, wounded dozens of people, and arrested all officers above the platoon except Wu Jie. Later, under the protest of the lone army and the people in the concession, the captured people were returned, but the national flag was not returned.


However, in the film, a variety of special effects shots show how the fighter jets shoot the flag on the roof and how the defenders guard the flag. It is similar to the 1975 version, but the props are more sophisticated (the old version of the aircraft is American-style), and the concession is also shot.

Regardless of the skill of the Japanese pilots, they dare to dive at such a low altitude in Shanghai, which is full of buildings. This hitting the concession was also what the Japanese tried to avoid.


The roof guard flag


Finally, under pressure from the concession, the government ordered the defenders of the four-row warehouse to retreat. However, the divisional officer of the 88th Division made the order by telephone. The British major general in the concession entered the warehouse and made false guarantees that the defenders could carry weapons and transfer them to the Kuomintang Control Area.

But in the movie, he is a special commissioner of the government. In fact, it is understandable if you have difficulty in finding foreign actors. It is not the false statement of the concession. The whole movie also mentioned, The British want to disarm. The

1975 version does not mention the attitude of the concession, it is nothing but a fear of offending Britain and the United States, but what are you afraid of today? The final evacuation of

from the warehouse was so tragic in the movie. As soon as they were ready to act, the Japanese army turned on the searchlight, and after extinguishing the searchlight, it was still shot by the Japanese army's violent machine guns.


machine gun fired


. In addition, there were still miscellaneous soldiers in the warehouse. Although they did not show the fighting scene after the break, they also showed that the broken team locked itself with an iron chain and threw away the key.

I don’t know if the crew likes to watch the wonderful Korean movie "Landing Day". In that movie, the German officer locked the protagonist in a machine gun bunker with excuse-you can meet 9 troops who have captured the protagonist when you go out. I can't believe it.

locked himself

but the real history is that Xie Jinyuan's troops are well connected with the concession, and they were discovered by the Japanese when the retreat was about to end. Xie Jinyuan quickly put out the searchlights of the Japanese army under his command. As for the broken team, according to Lu Hongxin, the person involved, a total of 4 machine gunners successfully retreated to the concession after completing the cover task-after all, there was only a bridge across! If

was hit by Japanese machine guns like in the movie, there would be more than 8 casualties?


Generally speaking, the advancement of "Yaobai" in terms of props and special effects has benefited from the advancement of film technology, but the huge changes in the plot are surprising. The

1975 edition, as always, was afraid of "friends astonished", and continued the government's consistent propaganda in the anti-Japanese war.

really can't think of today's "Eight Hundred" why should imitate this kind of limited thinking?


If you need fierce battle scenes, you can intersperse the battles on the south bank of the Suzhou River during the same period. Even according to the historical records of the Japanese military, the casualties of some Japanese troops exceeded 3,000.

Compared with the battle of the four-line warehouse written in the textbook, this is the battle that is truly forgotten.
