71年前,无数中华儿女远赴战场,为国而战,他们用牺牲和奉献换来山河无恙。
现在,电影《长津湖》以抗美援朝战争第二次战役中的长津湖战役为背景,讲述了一段波澜壮阔的历史:长津湖战役是抗美援朝最残酷惨烈的战斗之一,在极寒严酷环境下,东线作战部队凭着钢铁意志和英勇无畏的战斗精神一路追击,奋勇杀敌,扭转了战场态势,打出了军威国威,书写了惊天地、泣鬼神的雄壮史诗,创造了世界战争史上的奇迹。
It tells the story of CPV soldiers fighting bravely in freezing temperatures in a key campaign around Changjin Lake, also known as Chosin Reservoir, in the northern part of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in 1950. The battle was a turning point in the war, laying the foundation for the final armistice negotiations.The abrupt fall in temperature – the lowest down to around minus 40 degrees Celsius, a record in around half a century – made the battle tougher and more brutal for Chinese troops.
影片《长津湖》艺术再现了这场战役的残酷悲壮:铁道列车被炸的惨烈,乱石阵上的隐忍,通信塔之战紧张激烈,新兴里战斗气壮山河,指导员梅生退伍了亦重返战场,杨根思抱起炸药包与敌同归于尽,片尾“冰雕连”令敌人亦为之动容……而吴京和易烊千玺扮演的两兄弟故事则作为叙事线索,撑起了整个电影的故事框架。

影片导演陈凯歌表示:“《长津湖》这部电影就是要告诉我们,战争从何而来,我们为何会胜利。”导演徐克称:“毛主席说的那句‘打得一拳开,免得百拳来’对我的触动非常大,我当时就决定,我的任务就是要把这句话的真实感拍出来让大家看到。”导演林超贤坦言自己在拍摄期间一直被各种情感震撼着:“拍这部电影的过程中一直对志愿军战士们怀着深深的敬意,希望大家看到这部电影的时候可以记得当年那些为了我们牺牲的战士们。”
影片总制片人于冬表示,《长津湖》毫无疑问是当下最需要的电影:“这部电影可以振奋2021年的电影市场,它所讲述的故事、故事中的每一个人,以及这部电影所传递的精神和信仰,都是这个时代最迫切需要的精神食粮。”
于冬表示,经过五年多的剧本打磨,两年多的细致筹备,用电影弘扬伟大的抗美援朝精神。
The film's producer Yu Dong said the movie is a tribute to the hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers who died in the war. Yu revealed it took them five years to revise and polish the script and two years to prepare for shooting the movie.
在推荐这部电影时,伍千里的扮演者吴京表示:“希望观众从电影院走出来,能更加珍惜今天的美好生活。”
饰演伍万里的易烊千玺则说:“希望大家可以铭记这段历史,能够更加了解今天的和平幸福有多么来之不易。”
除了激烈的战争场面,影片中长津湖部分刻画的环境也令人印象深刻:
严寒给志愿军官兵带来的困难,两军在装备补给等方面的差距,这一幕幕更让网友们破防,感叹抗美援朝的艰苦。
徐克表示:“作为导演,只有很多的感受才能拍出一部好电影,所以要亲身去体会战争跟寒冷,在困难的条件下去做这个事情。”
那么,历史上真实的长津湖战役是什么样子的?
零下30度,“原木在移动”
严寒,是大多数人对于长津湖最直观的感受。时间回到70多年前,尽管因恶劣天气和自然环境付出重大伤亡,入朝作战的志愿军官兵却创造了全歼美军一个建制团的辉煌战绩,在东西两线同时告捷,一举打破了以美国为首的“联合国军”试图在1950年圣诞节前发起“结束朝鲜战争总攻势”的狂妄计划,迫使当时世界上最为强悍的超级军事大国,经历了有史以来“路程最长的退却”。
Despite heavy casualties caused by the extreme weather conditions and the rough terrain, the CPV army wiped out an entire US regiment, and scored victories on both the east and west fronts, thwarting the Coalition plan of wrapping up the Korean War by the Christmas of 1950, and forcing the world's strongest military power into its longest retreat.
美国老兵约翰在曾回忆过朝鲜战场上的这样一幕:
An American veteran John recounted an unforgettable scene he saw on the Korean battlefield.
1950年12月,约翰所在的美军连队,在朝鲜东部一个小山村休整。某日夜晚,冒着美军强大炮火的打击,无数身披白布的中国人民志愿军战士在零下20-30度的严寒中——不知他们在冰天雪地里埋伏了多久——正从周围的树林里冲出来,涉水冲锋。
It was a night in December 1950. John and his company were taking a rest in a small village in the east of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). He saw numerous soldiers of the Chinese People's Volunteers (CPV), cloaked only in white sheets in a night of minus 20 to 30 degrees, charging out of the surrounding woods, undeterred by heavy US artillery fire.
他们趟过被炮火炸开的小河,两条裤腿很快就冻住了,他们的枪好像也被冻住了,他们就像一根根僵硬的原木在移动。没有火炮支援的情形下,他们中有人像原木一样倒下;他们中又有人不断冲上来。加入战斗的约翰枪管子打红了,但“原木在移动”,火力根本无法阻止他们。
He saw them crossing a frozen river, whose sheets of ice were just blown up by artillery; but before long, their trousers were soaked and quickly frozen up. They visibly slowed down because they could not bend their legs. Their weapons were poor and they had no artillery cover. Their guns seemed to have frozen up too. They looked like stiff logs on the move. Some "logs" fell down halfway through, but more came to fill in. John recalled his barrel turned red, yet the "logs" kept moving. Shelling simply could not stop them.
据推断,约翰经历的,应是中国抗美援朝战争期间最酷烈、也彻底扭转战局的一场战役——长津湖战役。
长津湖是朝鲜北部最苦寒地区,是役期间更是遭遇50年未有之严寒,夜间最低温度可达零下40摄氏度。
Chosin Reservoir is the coldest place in the north of the DPRK. The battle was fought in the harshest winter conditions in 50 years, with the lowest night temperature plunged to minus 40 degrees.
当时,为了出其不意给以美军为首的“联合国军”迎头痛击,中国人民志愿军第9兵团紧急奉命入朝,身着单衣、解放鞋,在难以想像的极端艰难困苦之下,与武器装备世界一流、战功显赫的美军第10军在长津湖地区展开殊死对决。诸如“冰雕连”等和“原木”一样壮怀激烈的故事,在长津湖沿岸的阵地上并不鲜见。
As the war raged on, the Ninth Army of the CPV army was sent to the DPRK on an urgent mission to give the US-led Coalition a heavy blow. Wearing only canvas shoes and thin cotton uniforms, the CPV soldiers faced off against the most well-equipped, battle-hardened X Corp of the US in bitter fighting. The hardships they went through were beyond human imagination; stories like the "moving logs" and a whole company of soldiers frozen into "ice sculptures" in their battle posture were not rare to hear.
长津湖战役中,志愿军20军59师177团6连在零下30多摄氏度的极寒中坚守死鹰岭高地,结果穿着单衣的125名官兵全部冻死在阵地上。他们至死保持随时冲锋的姿态。这些永不后退的“冰雕”,在冰天雪地里立起一座座精神的丰碑。
在长津湖畔下碣隅里外围的1071高地东南小高岭,杨根思率领全排以“人在阵地在”的英雄气概,接连击退美军8次进攻。当投完手榴弹、射出最后一颗子弹,敌人第9次进攻开始了。危急关头,他抱起仅有的一包炸药,拉燃导火索,纵身冲向敌群,用鲜血阻断敌人撤退的道路。
也许美国老兵不会理解,为什么“原木”可以在冰天雪地间移动;但是我们却明白,“最可爱的人”在为了谁而战, “为什么战旗美如画,英雄的鲜血染红了它”。 他们用生命换来山河无恙;我们当铭刻不忘薪火相传!
