In fact, this is not the director's artistic treatment of the film scene, but a real story in history.
? A "miracle" created by China people during World War II?
1943, the era torn and shattered by war, countless people used sacrifice and sweat to find the direction of peace.
Roosevelt, then president of the United States, called the China National Government, hoping that China could complete the construction of several bomber airports near Chengdu within six months, so that American Army aviation could attack Japanese mainland.
Prior to this, the Japanese army had carried out many inhuman bombings in China, Chungking and Chengdu. Unarmed people, children studying on campus, patients waiting for treatment in hospitals and nuns praying in churches have all been targeted.
There were many problems in China at that time. Young and middle-aged people join the army at the front, and the scarce food is given priority to the front. However, these difficulties have not become an obstacle for the people of China to build the airport.
For the bomber to take off, the runway thickness must reach 1 m, and the "stone scorpion" used to press the road weighs 16 tons. These giant "stone scorpions" are all pulled by manpower, and there are also scenes in the movie.
In this way, on the runway for several kilometers, people are like a large group of ants, building day and night. Many students suffered from knee fractures, inflammation and pus, and a layer of skin was sunburned. But facing the danger of national subjugation, they didn't complain.
Around the clock, non-stop, in May alone, Xinjin Airport was completed.
Up to now, the largest bombing airport in Asia during World War II has been called a miracle. The miracle of World War II belongs to the miracle of China.
After the completion of Xinjin Airport, Japanese planes never dared to enter Chongqing and Chengdu for bombing, but American bombers taking off from Xinjin Airport successfully entered Japan to fight back, which made the aggressors pay a heavy price for this war.
Without the miracle created by ordinary people in China with "flesh and blood", there would be no victory in the US Air Force's counterattack. In order to commemorate this period of history, the photos of Xinjin Airport have long been hung in the eye-catching place of Chennault Aviation Military Museum in the United States.
? There is no war in the rear, but there are also heroes?
Both movies and Xinjin Airport are just the tip of the iceberg. While countless brave soldiers went to the front with their ideals and responsibilities, the people in the "rear area" also proved to history in their own way the cruelty of war and the unyielding of the people of China.
/kloc-during the anti-Japanese war in 0/4, Sichuan contributed more than 3 million soldiers, 3 million laborers and 1/3 grain tax to the whole country, and became the "rear area" to support the people's anti-Japanese war.
Don't ask the west, don't ask the east, don't ask my name. In the hard years, China teenagers full of ideals made such a roar. Like the hero in the movie, these innocent sons responded to the slogan of 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops, abandoned their pens and joined the army, and wrote a heroic song of the war of resistance with their own flesh and blood.
