finally resumed work after 174 days of closure of the theater, ushering in the first blockbuster movie of this year, "Eight Hundred" directed by Guan Hu. The release of the film
was as worrying as the epidemic. After 463 days of file changes, it finally ushered in its true appearance. Huayi’s boss Wang Zhonglei even said with moist eyes, "For these 463 days, the word'eight hundred' will appear in my mind every day." Therefore, this film has also become a very important straw to save Huayi's precarious box office.
From the effect of the film, it really touched many audiences. When the Chinese flag was stained with the blood of countless fighters, stood upright under the shooting of Japanese planes, and fluttered in the wind, the Chinese spirit was most thoroughly displayed.
However, it is a pity that this movie did not hold on to Douban's 8-point line. Instead, it slipped after its release. Over 100,000 scored 7.8 points. The
film is rooted in real historical stories, but the real history is more tragic and helpless. Guan Hu deliberately shows the most emotional part. However, those unspeakable tragedies are more appealing and even more touching than the movie. The movie
took place at the end of the Battle of Shanghai on October 27, 1937. The Battle of Songhu started on August 13th. At that time, Japan had not declared war on the United Kingdom and the United States. At the consultation meeting scheduled to be held on November 6, Chiang Kai-shek always expected the United Kingdom and the United States and other congresses to call for a truce in Japan and adopt a negotiation method. Resolve disputes.
Japan has set up 14 elite divisions in Shanghai, and dispatched the air force and navy for coordinated sea, land and air operations. Within three months, the Chinese army can be described as "failed and repeatedly fought". On October 25th, the Shanghai Defense Line It was about to be broken through, but at this moment, Chiang Kai-shek gave an order to his most elite 88th Division: All the divisions stay on guard and defend Shanghai!
The 88th Division is an ace troop of Chiang Kai-shek’s lineage. It is fully equipped with German equipment. It has been on the front line since the Battle of Songhu. Faced with the order of all members to stay behind, the division commander Sun Yuanliang did not agree. As the saying goes, Sun Yuanliang has the nickname "Escape Captain". In war, how to survive is a science. Sun Yuanliang presents this philosophy to the extreme. This time there is still no exception. Knowing that whoever stays means sacrifice, Sun Yuanliang is reluctant to exchange his efforts for the support and sympathy of the international community.
Sun Yuanliang found Gu Zhu, one of Chiang Kai-shek’s five tigers, and cried with . After intensive negotiations, they finally agreed to leave a battalion force to do the "face project". This battalion is the 420th battalion of the 524th Regiment in the film. People, Xie Jinyuan, the deputy head of the delegation, was temporarily acting head of the delegation at the time, and the location was located at the four-line warehouse at .
Four-line warehouse on the north bank of Suzhou River in Zhabei District, Shanghai, and the British concession on the south bank. It is very particular about choosing this place. It is located in a strategic highland and is separated from the British concession, allowing foreigners on the opposite side to see that the Chinese army is still resisting. Because of its proximity to the concession, the Japanese army did not dare to bombard them rashly. Therefore, despite the small number, it was not easy to break through.
Xie Jinyuan was originally from Guangdong. He was a student of Guangdong University. Later he was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy during the Fourth Period. From the Northern Expedition, he gradually became a platoon commander and became a deputy battalion commander. Before the war, he sent his wife and children back to his hometown. , Ready to sacrifice. The
four-line warehouse resisted for a total of four days. Although there were some weapons, ammunition and living supplies in it, a lot of them were taken away on the eve of the retreat. The Shanghai residents in the British concession spontaneously organized donations of a lot of food and medicine, which were delivered on the first day. Enter 20,000 flatbreads and medicines. During
, there was a 22-year-old girl named Yang Huimin. When she saw the Japanese Taiyang flag flying in the four-row warehouse surrounded on three sides, and the British Pzi-flag flying to the south, she hoped to help the Chinese army boost morale, so on 27 Day and night, she was alone and sent in a Chinese flag. This is the origin of the undefeated flag in the film.
As shown in the movie, the Japanese became mad after seeing this flag, and the Chinese shouted "Chinese citizensSlogans such as "Long live the tribe, bring down Japan" have inspired all Chinese on both sides of the strait, and the war has become more and more intensified. The
Japanese were performed in the same way as in the movie at the time. Each soldier carried a steel plate and carried an explosive bag with him. , Trying to blast a wall on the bottom floor of the four-row warehouse and break through.
At this most dangerous moment, Chen Shusheng, played by Zheng Kai, stood up. He tied grenades all over his body and pulled the fuse from the window. I jumped down and died with dozens of Japanese soldiers, leaving only a blood book to my mother, "To die for righteousness is what the child wants! "In the Sixing warehouse, a total of 298 such suicide notes were found, which represented the sworn promises of the Chinese soldiers. On the fourth day, the Japanese began to blast the Sixing warehouse with 37mm flat-fire artillery, which even violated international law. , Used gas bombs and other prohibited weapons, just to win a trace of victory on the face.
If it weren’t for that night, Xie Jinyuan received an order to retreat, these four hundred heroes would die in the country and none of them would be spared. There is no uniform statement about the reasons for the retreat. One statement is that the envoys of various countries requested the Chinese government to retreat out of humanitarian considerations. The other statement is that the British concession was afraid of the Japanese throwing rodents and used more crazy methods to attack, and ultimately affected the British. The concession therefore asked Chiang Kai-shek to retreat. Generally speaking, the second statement is more credible. In four days, the Chinese soldiers wiped out more than 200 Japanese troops and destroyed two tanks, which greatly boosted the morale of the entire camp. Xie Jinyuan’s entire camp sacrificed 9 people, wounded 28 people, and more than 300 people retreated to the British concession. The reason why the film was called "Eight Hundreds" is precisely because they lied about 800 people to confuse the Japanese army at the beginning of the war. To become famous, such a battle that wins more with less is also worthy of eternal history.
"Eight Hundred" has 13 minutes deleted, and there may be such a fragment at the end. Guanhu uses the blank method of "here is silent than sound" Let the audience think about the final outcome. However, the reality is that Xie Jinyuan was disarmed as soon as he entered the British concession, and was placed under house arrest on a 15-acre site. One pass was four years. During
, Xie Jinyuan and his subordinates suffered a lot. Unfair treatment, and then the fall of Shanghai, many citizens spontaneously sent them supplies to show their spiritual support, but Xie Jinyuan died after all, not killed by the Japanese, but Xie Jinyuan soldiers bought by the Wang Puppet with a dagger. He hit Xie Jinyuan’s chest and temples with an iron pick and attacked on April 24, 1941. He died shortly after he was only 37 years old.
Although Jiang Jieshi later named Xie Jinyuan as a major general, he could not hide the grief of 300,000 Shanghai residents. On December 8th of that year, Japan fully took over the Shanghai Concession. All the remaining soldiers of Xie Jinyuan were arrested. 36 were sent to New Guinea in Oceania, and the rest were sent to all parts of the country to do hard labor. Until the victory of the War of Resistance, the original There were only 67 people left in the first battalion. For this reason, Xie Jinyuan’s widow Ling Weicheng also ran around, trying to solve their extremely difficult situation, but ended up without a problem.
These warriors who gave their lives and blood for war should not be forgotten by history. Yao heroes will live forever and are worth remembering! As long as we maintain this spirit and spirit, the Chinese nation will finally have a day of exhilaration. While we are moved, we should not forget that this history should be remembered, and we should be clear about our responsibilities.
