Chapter 249 Happy days are yet to come. (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
Through the foreshadowing of the first half, Huang Jiguang's character has already been established in the hearts of the audience.
Although most viewers know about Huang Jiguang and his deeds, the vast majority of them know it through textbooks and textbooks.
The audience may be shocked by his deeds, but their impression of this "person" is actually false.
[A volunteer soldier used his body to block the enemy's machine gun firing point in a battle and won victory for the troops]
This is how most people know Huang Jiguang.
But now everything is different.
Through the first hour or so of the movie, a little educated, stubborn, and strong little warrior has already entered the hearts of the audience.
He is no longer the cold words in textbooks, or the great hero in press releases.
The way he frowns when thinking about something may be like that of his colleague at the next desk in the company.
The dazed look in his eyes when he was homesick might be like that of his roommate sleeping on the upper bunk.
His nose wrinkles slightly when he is in trouble, maybe like a rider waiting to deliver takeaways...
He has family, he has friends, he has concerns and fantasies about life.
He is just an ordinary person of flesh and blood like all viewers!
And now that the audience can't stand it when they see that this person who is just like them is about to embark on that path called "hero"!
"Ahhh! The group portraits are so well created that I almost forgot that this is Huang Jiguang's story. Jiguang, don't go... you won't be able to go home if you go, and you won't be able to see your mother again!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuah, I can cry to death. From the moment I saw the upper part, I was already prepared to be stabbed. But when the knife was actually swung down, my whole body was shocked. One hit me again The thought of tear ducts suddenly popped up in my mind; he is only twenty-one years old, he is younger than me!"
"From the moment I planned to watch this movie, I thought I had accepted the ending. But watching him leave his mother, watching him join the army for training, watching him write letters home in the tunnel, watching him walk all the way... I thought of him I was about to die, and my heart was still throbbing with pain. I never expected that he was the one in the movie who was the first to prepare for this."
"I couldn't stand it when I saw him handing the letter from home to the chief of staff. He knew what he was going to face, and he had already come to this realization. But why did my heart feel like it was being dug out? !”
"It's so cunning, I'm so cunning! They created a good friend for me in the movie, and now... I've won. I finally know why you released the script in advance... You You must know; even if you read this story ten thousand times, the final moment will still be a knife stabbing your heart!"
However, condemnation and retention are of no use.
Because the movie’s label has already said everything;
War, historical facts!
This is not a random adaptation of a heroic movie, it is just a re-presentation of a turbulent history through pictures!
The progress bar of the video is still running, and the plot on the screen is still going on.
Huang Jiguang, the new squad leader of the sixth squad who took the initiative to take on the demolition task, was already carrying an anti-tank grenade and rushed towards the No. 0 position along the attack route of the demolition team.
Here, the camera slowly pulls up. A panoramic view of the battlefield was given, showing the blasting route of Squad 6;
At the commanding heights of Position 0, three machine gun fortresses, one large, two small, and three small, were distributed in a Z-shaped pattern, with their firing range covering the entire hillside.
The two small forts are connected by a communication trench, and enemy soldiers can be deployed at any time. The main gun fort is half-embedded in the mountain, relying on the powerful firepower of the 12.7mm caliber heavy machine gun to become a man-made natural barrier.
The main fort is commanding from a high position and has fierce firepower, while the light machine gun squad strongholds on both sides use more flexible light machine gun firepower to defend the main fort and provide fire support.
If you attack from the front, the firepower of light and heavy machine guns will completely cover the attack route. Therefore, the Sixth Company's previous tactic was to use a frontal feint to attract firepower, allowing the demolition team to advance from the relatively steep foothills on the right.
Although this would still be suppressed by fire from the commanding heights, it would at least put a light machine gun fortress on the far side into a shooting blind spot.
It’s just that the previous sacrifices of the demolition team have confirmed the fact that even so, this attack route is still difficult!
The night had begun to fade, providing better shooting conditions for the enemy who firmly occupied the commanding heights.
As Huang Jiguang and the other three jumped out of the crater, dense tracer bullets like raindrops trailed straight ballistic tail flames and poured towards them.
At this time, the command level of the 2nd Battalion Chief of Staff was demonstrated.
On position 4, the roar of the Soviet-style SG43 "Koryuzhov" heavy machine gun operated by the sixth company commander and instructor, and the Deggarev light machine gun operated by the chief of staff provided powerful firepower for Huang Jiguang and the others. support.
As the enemy was suppressed by the sudden sound of machine guns, there was a brief interruption in firepower. Seizing this opportunity, Huang Jiguang, Xiao Dengliang and Wu Sanyang quickly moved toward the light machine gun position at Position 0.
However, after a brief misfire, the enemy troops with extremely high combat literacy quickly adjusted. Relying on the fortifications to find a shooting angle, they began to frantically suppress the three-person demolition team.
Just after advancing more than ten meters, Huang Jiguang and the others were trapped in a crater in front of the light machine gun position.
In the crater where he couldn't even raise his head after being hit by long and short bursts of fire, Huang Jiguang looked at the enemy corpses on the side and pulled off the flashlight on his body.
"Use this! Wait for the flare to attract fire!"
Hanging the flashlight on the enemy's corpse and turning it on, Huang Jiguang covered the light source and looked up at the sky.
As a row of dazzling enemy flares rose into the sky, he shoved the body out of the crater.
Ta-ta-ta, tap-ta-ta-ta!
Almost instantly, the already stiff corpse was shot with precise fire by the enemy, and a burst of flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Taking advantage of this gap, the three of them jumped out of the bunker, faced the fire blockade that the enemy immediately reacted to, and finally advanced to the machine gun position!
An attack route of just a few dozen meters, a fleeting moment like lightning. The competition between the two sides in terms of soldiers' tactics and combat literacy reached the extreme level of intensity!
Huddled less than ten meters away from the enemy's light machine gun position, Huang Jiguang pulled out the anti-tank grenade on his chest.
At this moment, it seemed that God could not stand the difficulty of this battle and gave a little bit of luck to Class 6.
Following the mechanical sound of a machine gun jamming on the machine gun position, the enemy's curses and urgings came over.
Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Huang Jiguang took out the anti-tank grenade from his chest and threw it out with all his strength.
The bulky nature of the RKG3 anti-tank grenade adds huge risks to the demolition team. But its huge power was rewarded accordingly at this moment.
A huge shock wave erupted in the enemy's light machine gun position, and the M1917 Browning was knocked out of the trench before it had time to troubleshoot!
Seeing that the anti-tank grenade was effective, Huang Jiguang and the other three rushed towards the enemy's light machine gun position that had become silent.
The fire from three submachine guns quickly cleared the enemy troops who were stunned by the shock wave in the machine gun position.
Only a small number of enemy troops who were farther away reacted, decisively abandoned their positions and began to move to the Zibao machine gun position on the other side.
Seeing the enemy troops fleeing, Huang Jiguang and the others hurriedly pursued them.
At this point in the battle, both sides of the battle have realized that the key to winning this battle is to eliminate the living forces!
Although the number of people is not dominant, the three-person team at this time has already taken the initiative in this local battle!
Marching along the tunnel with alternate cover, several remaining enemy soldiers were quickly killed.
Even though the enemy troops are still fighting back with their superb combat skills, various signs have shown that the situation of this local battle has been overturned.
What best reflects this state is a grenade thrown from a traffic trench.
During the pursuit, the three-person team adopted a tactical formation of alternating cover and march. That is, one person occupies the high point and moves in coordination with the other two.
Just as Huang Jiguang and Xiao Dengliang rushed to the last light machine gun position, a grenade was thrown out of the position and hit Wu Sanyang directly on the head.
Seeing the dark grenade on the ground, Wu Sanyang almost didn't hesitate and pounced on it.
"Grenade! Lie down!"
However, the explosion he expected did not occur.
Under the body supported by courage and belief, there is a grenade without safety.
Looking at the melon that was thrown out with the ring attached, Wu Sanyang directly completed the ring pull for the enemy who was already panicking to the extreme, and returned the grenade that was filled with courage again.
boom!
With a burst of ammunition boxes exploding, the last light machine gun fort went silent.
"rush!"
Holding submachine guns, the three of them jumped towards the last machine gun position.
After killing several injured enemy soldiers, the three of them leaned on the sandbags that had been blown beyond recognition.
"Ha, haha...cough cough cough..."
Looking at the position he was in, Wu Sanyang, who was panting violently, laughed out loud.
He smiled happily, because of the grenade without a pull tab and the difficult serial machine gun fort, he finally sat down under his butt.
"Ha ha……"
Joy spread in the dilapidated position, but this hard-won joy was short-lived.
The main castle above was still pouring out firepower, suppressing the positions below in an attempt to rush up to support Captain Wan and others in taking position 0 in one fell swoop.
After quickly sorting out their guns and ammunition, the three of them looked at each other after taking a short rest.
"Walk!"
Following Huang Jiguang's greeting, the three of them rushed out of the position.
Dong dong dong dong...
The unique dull sound of large-caliber machine guns, mixed with whizzing bullets, enveloped the dilapidated light machine gun position almost instantly.
The enemy has not forgotten this approaching threat.
12.7mm heavy machine gun bullets poured on the offensive route, raising a cloud of dust and smoke, which also enveloped Wu Sanyang and Xiao Dengliang who had just rushed out of the position.
The huge inertia of the bullet pushed them back to Huang Jiguang... and also took away their lives.
"Wu Sanyang...Xiao Dengliang..."
Looking at the two quiet figures on the ground, Huang Jiguang crawled over.
When passing by Wu Sanyang, he saw that the chest of his comrade--the chest that had just been filled with courage to hold down the grenade for his comrade--had now been hollowed out.
"Jiguang..."
From the front, Xiao Dengliang's weak voice came over.
A hand stained with blood was handed over.
"Xiao Dengliang..."
The hand covered in blood led his hand to an anti-tank grenade.
Pulling out the last anti-tank grenade from his comrade's chest, Huang Jiguang nodded vigorously.
Amidst the dull sound of machine gunfire, a thin figure crawled out of the tunnel.
In the darkening night, a pair of eyes shining with tears were as bright as stars.
As he crawled forward, voices rang in his ears;
"Hahaha, when I was joining the army, I asked him whether North Korea was in the south or the north. What do you think he said?"
"He told me it's on the right! Hahaha..."
"Jiguang, what else do you want to say to your mother?"
The fire from the heavy machine gun illuminated his eyes that were blurred by tears, and pictures flashed by in a hazy way;
At the oath-taking ceremony of the new recruit company, three fellow soldiers stood together, following the instructor and raising their right hands high in front of the military flag.
"If you don't count the heroes, paint the martyrs' monument instead!"
The people who swore the oath together and witnessed the oath are all gone now.
Now, only myself is left.
"Class 6, there are still people in Class 6!"
"It's Jiguang! Cover!"
At the foot of the hillside, looking at the crawling figure, the Sixth Company Commander let out an excited shout.
The gunfire like exploding beans met the firing range of the heavy machine gun, and a frantic counterattack began.
The machine gun fort was getting closer and closer, and he quickly wiped away his tears, and his eyes became sharp.
Seeing clearly that the main castle's firepower was confronting Position 5, he climbed up from the ground. However, the enemies who were stubbornly resisting in the main castle did not relax their vigilance.
Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap!
The crisp continuous fire of the M1 carbine resounded through the night sky, and the inertia of the bullets brought a numbness, completely covering the small figure.
"Huang Jiguang!"
On Position 5, seeing the fallen figure, the Sixth Company Commander let out a loud roar.
However, just as he raised his machine gun and prepared to charge, bullets from the heavy machine gun pressed him down again.
"I'm your grandma!"
"Captain Wan, Jiguang, he is still alive!"
Just when he was about to charge again, a big hand pulled him back.
Listening to the surprised voice of the chief of staff, the sixth company commander picked up the telescope.
Seeing the figure that was still crawling forward even though it was moving slowly, he slapped his thigh hard.
"Cover! Shoot out all the bullets, cover!"
The support firepower sounded like exploding beans again, but at this time, the crawling figure could no longer feel it at all.
He was still crawling forward, and the seven wounds on his body left a twisted trail of blood under him.
The sound of gunshots, explosions, the screech of flares... all the sounds disappeared.
The world is so peaceful at this moment.
Strength and body temperature were rapidly lost, and there were bursts of heartbreaking pain in his left arm, legs, and stomach.
He couldn't climb anymore and stopped.
He saw the anti-tank grenade tightly held in his right hand - it was still stained with the blood of his comrades.
In a daze, the iron handle of the grenade blurred, and a line of profound small words appeared on it.
Comrade, the motherland believes in you!
He pushed himself up and inserted the handle of the grenade into the soil.
The horizon in the distance was already turning white.
Five meters...four meters...three meters...
The smoke and dust raised by machine gun fire and the heat waves spewed out became clearer little by little.
There was no roar to raise the spirits, that was not the strength that should be used.
Pulling the string of the grenade supporting his body, a pair of bright eyes burst out with the last brilliance on the gray battlefield.
The heavy parabola, with all its strength, smashed into the machine gun fortress that had harvested lives for a night.
boom!
Feeling the huge shock wave, seeing half of the fortress collapsed, those eyes that were wet with blood and sweat were finally buried in the soil.
The smell of this earth is so strange, full of the smell of iron and saltpeter.
He began to miss the sweet fragrance of rice, the fresh bushes, and the mother's honey locust...
In a daze, he stood on the soil that exuded a familiar smell again.
The iron and blood are gone, the machine gun fort is gone.
There are only the rolling mountains in the distance, the simple but clean courtyard, and the mother who is putting her feet up and collecting clothes.
"mother."
He called softly, and the thin figure turned around. There seemed to be more white hair on her temples.
Her hands were still so rough, but so warm.
"Son...my son...do you feel any pain?"
Looking at his mother in front of him, he smiled widely, he didn't want to say it.
Tick tock, tick tock...
From the eaves of the old house, the morning dewdrops dropped and hit the mottled millstones.
No...that's not Dewdrop's voice.
He opened his eyes again, and the rolling mountains were gone, the simple courtyard was gone, and the mother stroking his cheek was gone.
In front of them, there was still dry soil that smelled of fish and saltpeter. Further forward, half of the machine gun fort collapsed, and the heavy machine gun was still spraying tongues of flame.
"Mom, my son received a letter recently and learned that his family is well..."
He stood up unsteadily, silently reading the letter home that he had not yet had time to send.
"Although I have some difficulties here, please don't worry, mother... I think we are living a life of cattle and horse slaves under the oppression of feudal landlords. Although there are some difficulties now, yes, we can get through it..."
"Happy days, happy days..."
Holding on to the collapsed fortress, he walked step by step to the shooting port, and using his last strength, he pounced on it.
Dong dong dong, dong dong dong...
Blood flowers bloomed on his back.
The enemy, who thought it was the explosive packets blocking the shooting holes, rolled and crawled out of the fortress, but were immediately killed by bullets shot from down the mountain.
In the gradually blurring picture, several figures are rushing towards Position 0. They are shouting and calling for something.
But the silent camera only focused on the palms still tightly grasping the piece of sack above the shooting port.
[My name is Deng Fangzhi, I am sixty-one years old. I live in Zhongjiang County, SC Province, and I went to the market on December 26 last year. Suddenly I heard that my third son, Huang Jiguang, had died on the Korean battlefield. My body hurt as if a piece of flesh had been cut. But I know that he sacrificed himself so that most people could live a happy life, and he had the ambition... Wherever I go now, people call me my heroic mother, my glorious mother, and my dear mother. I lost one son, but now I have thousands of children...]
Following an old voice, several lines of subtitles appeared on the screen.

[With this film, I would like to pay tribute to all the volunteer soldiers who have sacrificed their lives and youth for the motherland! 】
Lines of subtitles appear on the white sky above the screen.
The picture gradually darkened.
A photo of the museum appeared in front of everyone.
It was an exhibit in the Huang Jiguang Museum. The blood on the worn-out 50-style cotton coat had oxidized to dark yellow over time.
The chest of the tattered military uniform, which had been soaked with blood and sweat, was empty.
【Full film, end】
As the subtitles freeze and the credits roll, there is no barrage for a full twenty minutes. But the playback page, which carried the excitement of all the viewers... exploded into pieces with the tearful expressions surging like a tide!
PS: I felt like I would get scolded if I broke the chapter...so I combined the two chapters into one.
