The domestic war blockbuster "Operation Red Sea", which was adapted from the Yemen evacuation incident, was filled with love on the first day of the Lunar New Year, when the dragon attacked and showed the prestige of our country, which immediately aroused heated discussions among audiences across the country.
The film is 138 minutes long, but the literary drama is less than 20 minutes, almost from beginning to end. Rescuing hostages, street fighting, car bombs, artillery coverage, sniper duels, tank battles, drone attacks, dense bullet rain, violent explosions, broken limbs, broken arms, blood splashes, the scene is bloody and extremely hot. As Feng Xiaogang said in his circle of friends after watching the movie: "I just finished watching "Operation Red Sea", and this soaked me in the urine. Be careful with other movies, this is a tough dish!" Military movies are more expensive than "real". The military equipment budget of "Operation Red Sea" is as high as 200 million yuan. The crew led by Hong Kong director Lin Chaoxian is full of sincerity. They specially rented military Humvees, desert raider off-road vehicles, red Falcon light assault vehicles, VAB armored vehicles, and C-130 transport aircraft. , UH1 helicopter, Jaguar helicopter, M60 and T72 tanks participated in the shooting. In order to play the role, the eight main actors have undergone hellish military training. They are fully armed and carry more than 30 kilograms. They are photographed with "real guns and live ammunition", and they rarely use imitation substitutes, simulated CG or special effects pictures to fool the audience. The whole film reflects the "real" to the greatest extent, regardless of the reproduction of the battlefield environment, the difficult tactical actions, and even the shooting characteristics of different weapons and the flight trajectory of the ammunition. The film also received the full support of the Chinese Navy. In order to achieve a realistic effect, large-scale equipment such as the Type 071 dock landing ship, the 054A guided missile frigate, the Z-9 helicopter, and the Type 039 submarine have all appeared. In the film, the highly automated combat command center of the 054A frigate, the 1130-type 30mm near-anti-gun live ammunition to intercept multiple incoming missiles, and the orbital launch of drones, the details of the 071-type dock landing ship's tail landing compartment are the first time. exposed on the screen.
As a domestically produced modern war blockbuster with the main theme, "Operation Red Sea" is a long-awaited pinnacle work by military fans. It successfully integrates the climax of many classic movies, such as "Black Hawk Down", "Brave Action", "The Hurt Locker", "Come Down the City", "Saving Private Ryan", etc. The superb lens language and detailed description not only reflect the cruelty of war With the fragility of life, it also perfectly interprets the unique image of Chinese soldiers. In the film, the Jiaolong commando and the embassy personnel protected by the armed police confirm each other's identities when they meet in the ruins. The armed police asked: "Who are you?" Captain Yang Rui replied: "Chinese Navy, we will take you home!" At this moment, many audience members were filled with emotions and tears. In an interview, Zhang Yi, who played the captain Yang Rui, said: "The first time I boarded a ship to shoot, I was surprised by the strength of our Chinese navy..." Huang Jingyu, who played the sniper Gu Shun, added excitedly: "That ship It's too big to shake..." Throughout history, from the annihilation of the Beiyang Navy in the Sino-Japanese naval battle to the Xisha naval battle in 1974, the Chinese navy used small-caliber artillery and grenades and more than 2,000 tons of gunboats with four or five hundred tons of gunboats. The enemy ships fought hand to hand, and the weak defeated the strong and achieved a tragic victory. Today, the Chinese Navy has finally realized the "dream of deep blue" from the offshore to the ocean. The Yemen evacuation operation is the first time that the Chinese navy has dispatched a large warship to rescue Chinese citizens from thousands of miles away from dangerous areas, indicating that the Chinese navy has the ability to protect Chinese citizens overseas.
The film was screened to the stage of rescue of the hostages. The Jiaolong Commando team cooperated with the Ivia government army. The convoy was shelled and raided by extremists. The government army was completely wiped out. The hostage mission, rescued the hostage after a tragic battle, but also paid a high price for the casualties of the four team members. At this time, some viewers couldn't help but ask: "Is it worth it to put the eight best special forces in a desperate situation to save an ordinary hostage?" Here, I don't want to discuss whether it is worth it, because the protection of every Chinese citizen Security is the sacred duty and mission of the People's Army. What is really worth noting is that "Operation Red Sea", as a new peak of domestic modern war-themed films, shows the Chinese navy's rapid progress in high-tech weapons, but also exposes the current shortcomings of the Chinese navy. The Jiaolong commando was ambushed, and after losing the vehicle-mounted communication equipment, Zhuang Yu, the signal soldier, could not locate it through the individual communication equipment, nor could he get in touch with the 054A guided missile frigate behind. As a result, eight team members directly faced tanks and more than 150 extremists fought alone. Fortunately, the 054A guided missile frigate miraculously saved the defeat by launching a jet light drone at a critical moment.
It can be seen from this that when the 055 large destroyer and the 075 amphibious assault ship have not yet been put into service, and the Beidou satellite navigation system has not yet covered the world, whether it is the 054 series frigate, the 052 series destroyer, or the 071 type 071 with a full displacement of 18,500 tons Dock landing ships currently do not have the ability to independently support the Marine Corps to go deep into other countries' inland and conduct low-intensity anti-terrorism operations. Because, the 054 series frigates are usually equipped with Z-9C light helicopters, and the single plane goes deep into the inland, which is more than enough. The 052 series destroyers have the same problem in ship-borne helicopters. As a larger weapon platform, they currently do not have the ability to launch cruise missiles. The Z-18 medium-sized transport helicopter, which will be equipped with the Type 071 dock landing ship, has insufficient protection and attack capabilities, and it is difficult to complete the combat transport mission with a certain intensity. In the case of only one aircraft carrier in our country, it is obviously an overreaction to send a super maritime battle group with an aircraft carrier as the core to participate in the evacuation of overseas Chinese for a low-intensity anti-terrorism operation such as "Operation Red Sea". The Chinese navy is working hard to solve the above problems. The 055 large destroyer, which is expected to be commissioned in early 2019, can not only launch cruise missiles to carry out ground strikes, but also may carry Wuzhi-19. This type of armed helicopter can go deep into the enemy area and cooperate with the Jiaolong commando.
The Type 075 amphibious assault ship, which is expected to enter service in 2020, will become the first choice for dealing with low-intensity conflicts overseas. It adopts straight-through deck, in addition to carrying 30 helicopters of various types including Zhi-18, Zhi-20, Wuzhi-10, Wuzhi-19, etc., it will also be equipped with a large number of drones, which can simultaneously complete communication, reconnaissance, electronic countermeasures and ground strikes. Moreover, the Type 075 amphibious assault ship has amazing delivery capabilities, and the huge dock can carry personnel and equipment from several marine battalions at the same time, which can significantly improve the Chinese navy's overseas anti-terrorism capabilities.
In the near future, with the improvement of China's shipbuilding industry and overall economic and technological strength, the Chinese navy will surely become an all-round ocean-going navy that integrates both air and space, offensive and defensive capabilities. As sons and daughters of China, we are very proud of the growing strength of the motherland and the Chinese navy. Because, no matter when and where, no matter what difficulties, he can take us home.
