In the desolate desert baked by the scorching sun, a black off-road vehicle and a gun-gray armored pickup truck were speeding among the sand dunes with a distance of tens of meters from each other.
In the compartments of the two vehicles, the drivers were Ji Ma and Wei Ran. The former’s off-road vehicle was filled with actors who were about to participate in the filming, and the latter’s pickup truck was filled with actors except In addition to Culp and Teacher Anna, there is also the enthusiastic Mr. Charlotte, and Matt, who usually never leaves, but at this time can only sit on the car refrigerator.
Behind the two vehicles, a hundred meters apart, there were two Ural trucks following in the distance. Not only were canvas sheds added to the tops of the cargo compartments of these two trucks, one of them had a There is also a K-machine gun wrapped tightly in a blanket on the top of the cab.
As for the cargo compartment, there were either old men sitting with weapons or coconuts in their hands, or studio workers holding cameras or coconuts.
In the cab of the armored pickup truck, Wei Ran glanced at the black off-road vehicle not far away that easily rushed up the sand dune, and turned the steering wheel angrily to go around it.
It was only then that he understood why the off-road vehicle was also confiscated when Hongqi Forestry Farm fired him, and gave it to Ji Ma. No, he had brought it to this ghost thousands of miles away. place.
Of course, the armored pickup truck that was later given to me under various excuses was much stronger than the previous off-road vehicle in terms of power, top speed, price, and protection capabilities, but it also weighed more. Much.
Correspondingly, the former can not only drive as a boat on the water, but also can easily rush up the sand dunes and even stay in the air for a short period of time with its light weight and thick tires. Even at high speed, it can On this soft sand, it is easy to reach seventy or eighty without any problem.
But the heavy pickup truck I drive has no problem running on the desert. After all, its off-road performance is there. But if you want to rush to the top of a soft sand dune dozens of meters high like Jima, it is definitely a daydream.
It’s not that he hasn’t tried it before, but he was trapped on the mountainside of a sand dune twice in a row, and then he slid down with idling tires kicking up the sand, but all he got was Ji Ma, the bastard, talking on the radio. Unbridled ridicule.
Of course, their trip was not to drive and play in the sand, but to familiarize themselves with the route for the last time before filming started.
When the filming officially starts, the actors who played the Italian tankers will drive the three-wheeled motorcycle to start a desperate journey in this desert.
At the same time, filming began, and the German reporter Per, played by Ji Ma, captured the British soldier Harry in another scene, and drove the car that was borrowed from a rich man's private museum. Footage of Italian truck escape.
In the end, this movie is a story that starts off as two lines, and finally merges into one to struggle for survival and establish friendship.
It’s just that some Russians filmed a film about World War II in North AfricaStories about battlefields, this reality always made him feel a little bit unspeakably magical.
"The stone mountain in front is where Carlo and the British prisoner Harry rested on their way to find water."
In the radio channel, Ji Ma's familiar introduction He said, while also slightly reducing the speed of the car.
After circling this not-too-high stone mountain, Ji Ma speeded up again, changed direction and continued to drive forward until the mountain behind him was completely blocked by the continuous sand dunes. Then he stopped near the wreckage of a Hurricane fighter jet and continued to introduce, "The well is not far from the wreckage of the plane."
"Teacher Anna, where did the wreckage of the plane come from?"
Wei Ran asked curiously. Although he didn't get out of the car, he could still tell that the wreckage of the plane was definitely not a fake, but a real wreckage.
“In fact, I have to thank Mr. Alexander for uncovering the wreckage of this plane.”
It was Culp who answered the question, “According to him, the wreckage of this plane is several years old. The excavation gang found it from the swamp near Murmansk. After he bought it, he kept it in the warehouse. This time he heard that we needed the wreckage of a fighter jet, so he was very generous. Lend it to us."
"Can I go down and have a look?"
Wei Ran continued to ask. Although he didn't have much contact with Mr. Alexander, he also knew that he was very picky. There must be some special reason for being included in his collection, even if it was just the wreckage of a plane, which naturally aroused his curiosity.
"Of course," Anna said with a smile, "We asked you to come here this time just to see if there are any flaws."
Hearing this, Wei Ran immediately wrapped himself in a fresh coat I got the Arabian kerchief I got when I came to Egypt. Before getting out of the car, I sprayed an extra layer of sunscreen on my exposed skin and then opened the heavy car door.
"This little guy lives a really exquisite life." Culp shook his head helplessly, and also opened the car door, and followed Wei Ran in the same order as Charlotte and Matt.
Anna, who was sitting in the passenger seat, rolled her eyes, reached for the sunscreen spray that Weiran had just put down, and sprayed it from head to toe before finally pushing the car door open.
The group of people strolled to the wreckage of the fighter jet. Weiran also noticed that on the other side, which was originally blocked by the wreckage, there was a Ural truck parked under the sand dunes, as well as a A sun umbrella stuck in the back of the car.
Under the sun umbrella, not only were there two people sitting on the deck chairs looking at themselves from a distance, there was even a plate of watermelon and two AK rifles on the table between them. .
Pretending not to see the two people, Weiran turned his attention back to the wreckage of the plane covered with canvas.
Compared with the wreckage of the original Hurricane fighter that was seen near the dry well in the North African desert, this borrowed aircraft is in much better condition, except that one wing is missing.
Because of this, he could easily tell through the tropical radiator under the nose that these hurricanes were all IIB tropical types.
In addition, when he lifted the sail
that day, the painting on the fuselage made his eyes widen, and at the same time he understood the significance of it being worthy of being collected. .
In addition to a remaining red five-pointed star and a vaguely identifiable number on this aircraft, the left side of the five-pointed star seems to have been polished with sandpaper, vaguely revealing a red five-pointed star that was originally covered by paint. , silvery white capital "f".
"This is really a treasure," Wei Ran sighed sincerely.
“Alexander specifically reminded me at the time that it doesn’t matter if the other wing is removed, but try not to damage the painting on the fuselage.”
Culp and Charlotte And the old man named Matt walked towards Wei Ran and asked, "Victor, is there anything special about these paintings?"
"The most valuable thing about this aircraft is probably that It's painted."
Wei Ran completely opened the canvas and pointed at the "f" that was polished with sandpaper. "There should be another letter and a set of numbers behind this letter, but Just from this f, you can roughly judge his origin."
"It's very special." Teacher Anna who arrived later asked curiously.
"Mr. Alexander's plane wreckage came from Murmansk" Weiyan did not rush to answer the question, but confirmed again.
"That's true of him," Culp responded with interest. At the same time as he spoke, Jima and Maya rushed over with several other actors.
"In this case, it is basically certain that this aircraft was first served in the 151st Wing of the British Air Force, and even through this f, it can be traced back to the 81st Squadron under the 151st Wing."< /p>
At this point, Wei Ran's finger also moved to the red five-pointed star, "The 151st Wing entered Murmansk as a British aid force to the Soviet Union in September 1941. At that time, the Germans They are joining forces with Finnish and Norwegian puppet troops to surround Murmansk. According to historical records, even the earliest special forces, the Brandenburg troops, participated in the battle that was no less than that of Leninger. Siege."
"What happened next?"
Maya, who is also a graduate student in war history, asked, although the origin of this plane has nothing to do with this shooting, it does not affect it at all. Everyone listened to the story with great interest, even Charlotte listened with great interest under the translation of the man named Matt.
"This British Air Force Wing began to participate in the battle soon after its arrival. It was also responsible for the training of Soviet pilots. In the battle, a sergeant named Smith was even killed. He He was also the only pilot of the British Air Force who died on the Eastern Front."
Wei Ran paused, recalled some historical knowledge, and continued, "Wait until 1941.In early November, all the fighters of the British 151st Wing were handed over to the Soviet Air Force after emergency training, and the Soviet 78th Aviation Regiment was formed. At the same time, the soldiers of the 151st Regiment also returned to the UK to continue fighting. "
At this point, Wei Yan tapped the red five-pointed star on the fuselage with his finger, "This five-pointed star painting comes from the 78th Aviation Regiment of the Soviet Union. In other words, this Hurricane The fighter jet has served in the air forces of two countries, which is where its value lies. ”
“So how should this paint be changed?”
Culp asked with a frown. It is true that he is an outdated kgb, but this does not affect his ability in the field of history. Lack of professional knowledge
“It’s very simple”
Weihantan Tanshou, “Just use double-sided tape to stick a layer of kitchen tin paper, and then repaint it with British Air Force camouflage. Okay, later I will find you a photo of the livery of a British Air Force unit that participated in the North African battlefield, and just apply it accordingly. "
"Don't you need to touch the others?" Teacher Anna asked with a smile.
"There is no need to touch the others." As Wei Ran spoke, he had already tied it up again with Ji Ma's help. The canvas used to cover the fuselage
"I believe this movie will become a classic" Charlotte, who had just been listening to the story, said in English, "Culp,
You have a very good historical consultant. "
Hearing this, Wei Ran reacted very quickly with a look of confusion on his face, and looked at Culp with this expression.
"Charlotte Sir, you are praising you."
Culp responded nonchalantly, "Let's go to that well and have a look. If there are no problems, we can start the official shooting. ”
