Brief introduction to the plot of tunnel warfare movies

In War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines led by China * * * continued to grow and develop. 1942, the Japanese invaders carried out a "sweeping" of Jizhong base area. The people in the base areas have come up with many ingenious ways to resist and attack the Japanese aggressors, and tunnel warfare is one of them.

Under the leadership of Gao Laozhong, secretary of the Party branch, and Gao Chuanbao, captain of the militia, the people of Gaojiazhuang in central Hebei dug several earth caves and cellars into tunnels, leaving several exits to deal with the Japanese aggressors. However, one night, the Japanese invaders from Heifengkou stronghold attacked Gaojiazhuang, and Gao Lao Zhong Ming Zhong gave a warning and died heroically, and the tunnel was destroyed by the enemy. The people in Gaojiazhuang summed up the lesson and transformed the tunnel that can only accommodate into a multifunctional tunnel that can hide and attack.

/kloc-in the summer of 0/943, Gao Chuanbao used the tunnel to kill the spy who sneaked into Gaojiazhuang. Yamada, the detachment leader of the Japanese army, gathered troops from several strongholds to prepare for revenge, but he was severely taught a lesson by the Gaojiazhuang militia who was elusive in the tunnel. Gaojiazhuang people pushed forward with victory, extending tunnels from the edge of the village to the wild, becoming a criss-crossing tunnel network, turning defense into attack. Zhao Pingyuan, the head of the district, made a tactic of "encircling the points to help" in order to attract the Japanese and puppet troops in Heifengkou, but the cunning Yamamoto tried to solve the siege of Xiping by attacking Gaojiazhuang. Gaojiazhuang militia fought side by side with the main force of the Eighth Route Army and guerrillas, uprooted the Heifengkou stronghold in one fell swoop, wiped out the enemies who invaded Gaojiazhuang and won the battle.

Behind-the-scenes production of tunnel warfare movies

At the beginning of 1963, the General Staff of the Central Military Commission appointed Bayi Film Studio to shoot tunnel warfare as a traditional militia teaching film. The purpose of shooting is to reflect the people's war thought of * * *, and let the audience learn some basic military knowledge and methods of fighting against the enemy after watching it. At the same time, the film crew is required to shoot in the form of feature films.

1in may, 945, Liu shazi, secretary of the party branch and captain of the militia in gaoping village, led 70 or 80 people in the village to beat back the Japanese 1000 people and killed more than 50 puppet troops. After the battle, he went to clean the battlefield and was shot back by the enemy. Fool Liu is the prototype of Gao Laozhong, secretary of the Party branch, and Gao Chuanbao, captain of the tunnel warfare militia. In the movie, when Gao Laozhong finally rang the bell to warn the villagers, he sounded a Grenade and died with the enemy. In practice, the fool Liu did die.

Gaoping Village, Zhengding County, Hebei Province is an "anti-Japanese pioneer village" and the prototype of the story. However, after the tunnel was destroyed by the flood, it did not have the conditions for location shooting, so it chose the neighboring Ran Zhuang, Lizhuang and Tangzhuang to shoot. The director combined these three villages into one, and Gaojiazhuang in the film is actually the "synthesis" of these three villages.

All the shots in the tunnel on the screen were taken in Bayi Electric Power Studio. The film crew skillfully used the camera lens and editing to make it look like a real real battle network.

Original title: The prototype village of the movie "Tunnel Warfare"-Gaoping Village, Zhengding, Hebei Province

The national memory of the plowman who defeated the Japanese army five times. You don't know the story of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

"Mine, good gun. You drill the tunnel and I'll go to the room. Commanding point, blocking the street wall. It constitutes a barrage. Although we are plowmen, the devils dare not enter our village again. " More than 70 years ago, villagers in Gaoping, Zhengding, Hebei Province wrote and sang this authentic war song, and the lyrics were a true portrayal of their heroic struggle against the Japanese puppet government. More than 50 years ago, it was this village that inspired Xudong Ren, the director of Bayi Film Studio, to create the classic film "Tunnel Warfare" which influenced generations.

Because of its location on the main traffic routes from central Hebei to western Hebei and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border region, and the tenacious fighting of the militia, the Japanese puppet troops besieged Gaoping five times from the spring of 1943 to1May of 945. Among them, more than 200 people were dispatched twice, more than 300 people 1 time, more than 500 people 1 time, 1000 people/time. But this hero village has always stood. More than 50 militiamen used tunnel cover to kill more than 400 enemies, so that there was a saying among the Japanese and puppet troops at that time, "Go to hell and go to Gaoping."

Despite great achievements, this prototype village of tunnel warfare is little known. Recently, the reporter came to Gaoping Village to look for the history of the militia's heroic fighting.

There is a gaoping village on the ground and a gaoping village underground. More than 70 years ago, this village with 100-mile tunnel once frightened the enemy. Zhou Baoquan, former anti-Japanese village chief, 9 1 year old. He is the only living veteran in the village and has participated in five anti-encirclement campaigns.

"The history of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression cannot be forgotten." Zhou Baoquan told reporters about this eventful autumn. From the autumn of 1937, the Japanese puppet troops set up strongholds, turrets and roads in Hanjialou, West Erli, Gaoping Village, and Xiatong Village, Liuli Village. The brutal Japanese invaders frantically pursued the so-called "sweeping policy", "nibbling policy", "three light policies" and "strengthening public security policy".

1938, the people in Gaoping Village, led by * * *, held hoes in one hand and guns in the other. Men join the army, women make uniforms and shoes, take care of the wounded, and children stand guard to send messages. 1February, 942, Gaoping Village established its own armed forces-anti-Japanese militia guerrillas, and Liu Shazi, a member of * * *, served as the militia squadron leader. Gaoping militia actively cooperated with the field army, local army and neighboring village militia to take the initiative to attack, and went to Zhengding, Xinle, Han Jing Railway, Zheng Ling Highway and surrounding strongholds day and night to cut off power lines and bridges.

At the same time, inspired by hiding in the cellar, people in Gaoping village began to dig tunnels to deal with the Japanese puppet troops. In a year and three months, * * * dug a tunnel with a depth of 5 meters, a height of 1.4 meters, a width of 1 meter and a total length of 100, and dug about100000 cubic meters. Zhou Baoquan introduced that the underground roads in the village were divided into trunk lines and branch lines. Every ten families have an underground passage, and every underground passage is guarded by backbone militia. The underground passage has been turned upside down, which can be "waterproof, antivirus and smoke-proof", leaving an air hole every ten feet. Underground passages and ventilation holes are hidden, and most of them are located under the rice mill, in the kang cave, under the animal trough, in the well, in the stove and in the wall. In order to monitor and attack the enemy, towering fortifications were built at intersections, village entrances and houses of the old mother temple. There are double walls, darkrooms and bunkers in the room, and there are observation holes and gun holes on the wall. There is a fence on the edge of the village, and zigzag roadblocks have been built on the corner of the village.

"There are tunnels below and there are mines everywhere, so that the enemy can't enter the village at all!" Zhou Baoquan said.

The most beautiful battle took place on May 4th, 1945. The Japanese puppet troops launched the fifth big encirclement and suppression campaign against Gaoping Village. More than 600 people surrounded the village with light and heavy machine guns 1.20, mountain guns 10, small steel guns and a lot of poisonous gas, in an attempt to destroy the tunnel and subdue Gaoping in one fell swoop.

Gaoping militia has long been aware of the enemy's sneak attack, deployed combat forces in time, and divided the village into five war zones, each equipped with more than ten militia. Among them, fool Liu is in charge of the second world war zone and Zhou Baoquan is in charge of the fifth war zone. At dawn that day, the militia on duty at the northeast exit first found the enemy and sent a signal in time. The village militia quickly entered the combat post, and men, women and children immediately got into the tunnel. The superior has just issued a large number of grenades, and the enemy is coming. These grenades come in handy.

Facing the fierce attack of the enemy, Liu, a fool at the northeast entrance of the village, led the militia to stand on the commanding heights of the roof and beat the enemy with grenades. Zhou Baoquan, who was stationed in the west of the village entrance, led the militia to use the roof fortifications and bombard the enemy with soil cannons. After the enemy found the target, they concentrated strong firepower on them. Wang Liuhe, a militia member with Zhou Baoquan, was shot in the head and died on the spot. Zhou Baoquan and other militia withdrew from the roof fortifications, lured the enemy into the minefield, killing and injuring dozens of enemies.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the fighting basically ended. After the enemy fled to the village in panic, they shelled the village with steel. Liu, a fool who was rescuing the wounded in the street at that time, was injured by shrapnel and later died gloriously because of ineffective rescue. He is only 29 years old. In this battle, Gaoping militia killed 59 Japanese puppet troops, including 4 commanders, and blew up 7 carts.

According to the memories of the crew of Tunnel Warfare, the village name of Gaojiazhuang in the film originated from Gaoping Village, and the prototype of militia captain Gao Chuanbao was Liu Fool. Gao Chuanbao shouted, "Shoot a gun for another place, don't shoot an empty gun", which is the original words of Liu Fool. However, because Gaoping Tunnel was destroyed by the flood at 1963, it was not suitable for shooting, so the location shooting of tunnel warfare was completed in Ran Zhuang, Lizhuang and Tangzhuang. It is also for this reason that Gaoping Village, which has made great achievements, is little known.

"The only remaining 600-meter tunnel is also reinforced with cement on the original basis." Zhou Yuzhu, the branch secretary of Gaoping Village, told reporters that a humble hut in the northeast corner of Little Square in front of the village committee is a tunnel.

Out of interest in tunnel warfare and admiration for Gaoping militia, Zhengding peasant writer Liu Fuhai has visited archives, party history offices, libraries and second-hand bookshops for ten years. To his shock, Gaoping village has its own village-level arsenal in addition to tenacious fighting. Several blacksmiths who were bent on resisting Japan tried and failed again and again with stoves, pliers and files. They not only produced a gun, but also made a small soil gun that could hit the old well cone five or six miles away. During his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, * * * manufactured six small earth guns, three rifle grenades, 60 terminal guns, two rifles, five sub-guns, more than 4,000 rounds of ammunition and a large number of mines and grenades.

In order to let more people know about the history of tunnel warfare in Gaoping, Zhou Yuzhu and the villagers are planning to build a new memorial hall, and plan to repair the arsenal site, the former residence of Liu Shazi and the tunnel site. "We can't let the glorious history of Gaoping tunnel warfare be broken in our generation, and we will do our best to protect it!" Zhou Yuzhu said. Our reporter Liu
