There isn’t many movies about the Chinese part of ww2. So this is cool
Check my Ch: i did this flick
It does lol
@@unskilledraga6597 they’re mostly from china but yes there are tons of chinese ww2 movies
@@romelric lol
Same with Canadian
I was born in Shanghai and lived there for 34 years. The Sihang warehouse is still there beside the Suzhou river. It's a monument in Shanghai. I'm proud for these brave Chinese soldiers.
I was there in November. It's a great museum.
Yea I was there two weeks ago too
Why chinese like japan?
Defending the homeland is the most beautiful thing.
Obviously the movie takes some dramatic liberties, but it is based on the true story of the Battle of Sihang Warehouse.
After the collapse of the defense of Shanghai, Chian Kai-shek personally ordered a battalion of the 88th Division, one of the elite, German-trained divisions of the NRA, to stay behind at Sihang warehouse. He did this because it would cover Chinese troops retreating out of the city, and he knew that the warehouse was located right across the river from the International Settlement, meaning the entire world would see that China still was determined to fight (It also meant that the Japanese could not bomb or shell the building, for fear of hitting the International Settlement). After resisting for days against an overwhelming Japanese force, the defenders had succeeded in both objectives and were ordered to turn themselves over to the International Settlement, where they were interned by the British.
Yea, something I like about the movie is that it actually represents what most of the soldiers were; most of the elite, german trained soldiers were dead, and many were just volunteers or fresh blood. It's kind of ironic that China was pretty close to Germany prior to the Japanese and German signing the Pact of Steel.
Obviously lie, because the is noway Chinese go together in suck small group, i never seen a Chinese goup less then 10k people, and now you telling me they are less than 1 thousand, hah, good joke. That's just how chinese work, they doing everything in mass number, expecially war.
@@hubertyu6576 The most interesting thing is that it was Hitler over the High Command that sided with Japan. To bad the little evil crazy guy won the argument, China would be a democracy today if the Germans had supported the Chinese.
That's actually such a smart move. Too close to the international community to bomb.
When they snuck through that water tunnel and saw the Japanese ambushing through there, is that true? Did they actually get out and raise the alarm?
7:48. The girl that took the flag to the warehouse is 楊惠敏(Yang Huimin). After the battle, she became a Chinese heroine and she went to Europe in 1939 and visited both Hitler and Mussolini. Hitler praised her as an example to German youth. Later in the war, she was accused by the KMT of being a CCP spy but was later exonerated. She went to Taiwan Province with the ROC government in 1949 as the CCP won power on the Mainland. Due to the record of being an accused CCP spy, she laid low for a couple of decades and only emerged to meet the ROC media about her activities in 1937 in the late 1960s and started to attend ROC events celebrating the victory over Japan. She died in 1992 on Taiwan Province of the Republic of China
Taiwan province of china? more like Independent nation of taiwan.
@@faunsce3022 Official name of "Taiwan" is the Republic of China. Sounds like Taiwan is part of China
@@faunsce3022 leave it to the chinese to worry about, I'm sure there are more pressing issues in your country
@@RookieCR7SIU You mean the Taiwanese, I hope.
@@Mallard942 I'm not interested about this China-taiwan issue, but those people in taiwan won't be craving independence without the US at it's back
A number of Chinese units were trained by Germany before the war. In fact Germany had very strong relations with KMT. That's why they are wearing german helmets they come from those divisions. They were the best troops the nationalists had to offer. Unfortunately those divisions were almost entirely wiped out early into the war. Most Chinese troops didn't have this kind of training and equipment.
As for the settlement it's the westerners and other neutral countries as before pearl harbor that settlement is safe and the remaining soldiers would legally be interned which is what happens when belligerent troops go into neutral territory.
Unfortunately all those people in the settlement would end up being captured by the Japanese and suffered the atrocities of being pows of the most savage cruel army in human history.
@Johannes Cailles 黄皇唱 why someone thats dead and 6ft into the ground?
@Johannes 黄皇唱 you mean the loser who couldn't even control his own empire?
@Johannes 黄皇唱 Imperial Japanese nationalists like you are the reason modern day Japan can’t get any better. Seethecope
@Johannes 黄皇唱 Lmao cringe
If i recall correctly it was just the Training division, 36th, 87th, 88th german trained divisions that were pretty much wiped out. The 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 14th were relatively intact and played a major role in Taiierzhuang, Wuhan, Henyang. Also the survivors of the 36th, 87th and 88th took part in the Burma Campaign
What really made me cry was when the spectators watching young boys and men sacrifice themselves were also crying. These martyrs had names, lives they could have lived, and they had to throw it away for the sake of the nation the world thought it could step on again and gain. Through their sacrifice, they showed the world that the Chinese are not a cowardly people, that we still know what courage and heorism is like, and that our nation could be strong again.
It was completely overdramatised, as typical for asian movies. in reality indeed one man threw himself out of a hole with a grenade bundle. but only one did this and not a dozen more. in the movie you can see them dying left right and center, but in reality "only" 81 were killed and 37 wounded of the 452 defenders.
The bridge retreat was not the massacre as in the movie. ten men were wounded, non killed.
@@ricwalker6600 it's pretty obvious coz it's communist china what's truthful about that? 😂 And this dude says china is a strong nation, social credit points ++ 💀
I mean china only was weak for about 100-200 years, before that it literally was the strongest country on the planet. China was weak during ww2 and it showed. however because of that weakness now china is trying to rebuild back into a super power because it has the people, resources, numbers to do so.
@@hansr370 reasons why they were weak is because the lack of technology. Compared to the Japanese both those countries were far behind to the foreign powers of the Germans, Americans and other powers.
Back in the older days they were a super power, but they still held onto their bravery and courage to fight for their land and home
@@ricwalker6600 as opposed to american war movies, which are not dramatised at all and are all super realistic and would never take any artistic liberties to show off american heroism.
I'm sitting here crying. Good for the Chinese to tell their stories. They had suffered so much during this time period. Too many people in the West don't know much about 'Greater Asia' during the war(s) and the resentments they might have to the Japanese and Western Nations. Hands up to the people making this movie and educating us.
There probably isn't much known about this since this was before the Chinese communists took over around 1949.
CCP funded movie. educating us KEKW
@@quantumburstmode2664 It might be CCP funded but at least it gives the movie an excuse to being biased compared to all these american nationalist movies that depict USA as the centre of the universe. People like to talk about chinese propaganda but the truth is Western countries use propaganda way more than China. Anyone with a brain that watches all these american movies can tell that much, not to mention all these anti china sentiment that are used to brainwash people into thinking its the norm
The CCP didn't even fight the Japanese in the war, it was the KMT that fought off the Japanese and sustained so many losses that the CCP and their armed forces were able to sweep in and seize china.
Mao was a cunning and cowardly thief who tried to claim credit for the sacrifices of Chinese patriots to give his regime legitimacy and it looks like its worked
@@quantumburstmode2664 FYI this is a movie about KMT defending China and ccp funded it
I actually love this concept of movie recaps on CZcams. As a student I don’t have a lot of time to watch movies but movie recaps help me enjoy movies without spending a lot of time with good description too! I’d love to see this type of content spread on CZcams.
Love the action packed warfare + the content! I love the war action packed! Keep up the content and your war films are my favorite keep it up:)
The AI voice narrator and the background theme music is what gets me going in these recaps.......
Ai?
Same I wish I knew the name of the background music I've been looking for it for months 😂
yeah its an ai voice from free text to speech. its called matthew

Same bro
Wow. Loved it. Don't have much time to watch movies these days. Your channel helps a ton. Rarely do this but liked hut bell all that jazz. Can't wait to watch these in the loader lol.
this movie legitimately had me drowning in my tears
Excellent movie. It was a welcome perspective of the Second World War as the Chinese story is never really portrayed in major films, if at all.
I notice many Chinese war movies have yellow hues; however, I enjoyed this movie. There are other Chinese war movies like the Flowers of War (2011), City of Life and Death (2009), and Death and Glory in Changde (2010).
city of life and death is too sad to watch...
Its to cover for the pollution in the skys generally
The movie reminds me of the 300 because of the title and how they both take inspiration of past battles and how a little amount of forces vs a big army
also kinda like the battle of yultong, just the other way around.
This movie is actually really good true story about a small detachment of German equipped Chinese soldiers that’s why they are all in German uniforms and have better guns. If you haven’t seen it must watch
Xie Jin-Yuan was known for being the regiment commander. It was customary in Chinese army to refer to commanding officers not according to their rank but according to their commanding position. And Xie Jin-Yuan did not die on the way to the International Settlement, the movie took too much liberty and changed the fact. Xie and his men (most of his men survived) the battles, into the International Settlement and were interned by the British. Xie was assassinated by an assassin sent by the Japanese who hated him in 1941. The rest of the Eight Hundred Heroes (八百壯士) were captured by the Japanese after the Pacific War began and were sent to POW camps. Many survived till the end of the war.
A song was written for the Eight Hundred Heroes soon afterwards and I believe there was a moved made for them during the war. The first modern movie portray of them was made by the Nationalist Chinese in 1976 called "Eight Hundred Heroes". It was a more truthful telling of the story than the more dramatized 2020 version.
While chinese people were suffering greatly, their resistance and braveness inflicted a lot of damage to Japanese Empire.
China deserves huge praises, way much more than it gets... im literally sitting here crying.
Honour the fallen, respect from Russia to those who fought against nazism, fascism and supremacism.
good 👍 glad you understand the role of the Chinese people in World War second.
Our peoples fought for one goal. the survival of our nation. it was the same struggle.
The Chinese were not fighting the Nazis. Germany at the time was supporting the Chinese Nationalists who were fighting the Japanese.
Not Russia, USSR
seen this before, finally theres a recap about this
Let’s just appreciate how many movies they have to watch just to make videos for us
YES!
gae
This took placeat my hometown Shanghai IN THE NOW Zhabei District. There were only 452 soldiers fighting, but they were susequently called "The Eight Hundred“ because the commander Xie Jinyuan, not wanting to reveal their true strength to the Japanese, provided an exaggerated number to girl guide Yang Huimin to announce to the public.
movie is called THE EIGHT HUNDRED... i waited 5 months after its release to finally see it pop up online AMAZING MOVIE
the visuals are pretty amazing
I like to keep on watching this over and over again to remind myself how it was back then in the war good history have a nice day 😁see you later sur
There aren't enough movies about China vs. Japan during WW2. Americans like to talk up their side of the war. Still, honestly, the US had Japan overwhelmed once production started (US aircraft carriers: 151, Japan aircraft carriers: 13). Meanwhile, the Japanese killed 20-27 million Chinese. And their crimes were so horrific, that even the Nazis were disgusted - a Nazi ambassador actually saved 200,000 Chinese during the Rape of Nanking.
😂😂😂
It is interesting how there are examples of Nazi and Japanese diplomats that deliberately worked against the atrocities their fellow Axis country was committing.
This was one of the best movies I'd seen in a while. If you liked saving private Ryan you'd absolutely love this.
I am chinese, I have seen this movie half and you reccaped the other half for me. Thanks!
The Sihang warehouse is still there and was made into a museum to memorise the battle. Check it out when you have the chance to visit Shanghai
3:06 The only thing I felt was inaccurate about the whole movie. The Japanese did not use gas of any kind as they did not want the foreign powers to see them use gas weapons, and they were worried the gas might be blown over to the international settlement.
They may not have used gas against the warehouse, but the Japanese use of chemical weapons in WW2 particularly against civilian populations in China is well documented. See UNIT 731.
@@cccspwn I am clearly aware of that. I am just saying that the gas attack shown in the movie never actually happened during the actual battle for Sihang Warehouse. This was 1937 afterall, and the Japanese do not want to fight the western powers as of yet.
They only didnt use mustard gas. But they used other gas weapons.
@@haowoon8213 your original statement made no indication that you knew that and could be misleading to those that don’t know the extent of the atrocities committed by the Japanese army.
@@cccspwn I was just trying to indicate the fact that due to international settlement, the japanese never used gas weapons during the battle of Sihang warehouse. I never denied the fact that the japanese used gas weapons throughout China. I despise them for that.
you should also recap the movie "kesari" which focuses on a historic battle between the british and afghans in india .. about 10000 afghans attacked a fort which had just 26 sikhs and yet they managed to hold them off till evening and even killing over 600 afghans.. the movie is an absolute beautiful representation of patriotic feelings as well as bravery... undoubtedly one of the best works of bollywood
Battle of Saragarhi.
I think sardar udham or shershah would be good too.
I've actually watched that film tho
No body cares.
@@irfanhashem8857 my thoughts weren't for u..neither were theirs..so don't make urself look stale
Thanks for the upload this movie i was watching today
Wow, this looks like an amazing movie.
The unique part of this movie is that there's no real protagonist and no matter how hard you tried to root on an individual the movie can just kill them without notice, just like real war where death is nigh and mere statistics
Yeah, in China, we don't have so-called heroism
Nice history I didn't know about...
Wow, I guess I’ll have to go to Shanghai one day
Am impressed that just acouple of men defended a warhouse for 6 days while Denmark a country with a army bigger then that lost in under a day i am actully imporessed
You do realize Japan captured the city losing around 9000 soldiers while the Chinese lost somewhere around 200.000-300.000 out of their 750.000 soldiers? The Danish army had nowhere near to that number of soldiers, they had 14.000 at the time of the German invasion. You are trying to compare an army of 14.000 soldiers to 750.000.
i feel like this movie captures the true horrors of war
not trying to downplay the significance of this movie but if you want to see a movie that displays the true horrors of war better than any movie ever produced check out "Come and see" a belarusian film about about ww2. you will probably cry.

you should do a Movie Recap on the movie Chose or Die! I just watched it today and it's a really good movie
Anyone know where I can watch this movie? I used to watch it on a site but it got taken down
Watched this with an American mate of mine, he was surprised when I said that it’s a good representation of what the Japanese did and he didn’t even know or believe that the Japanese killed more Chinese than the holocaust did Jews 🤦🏼♂️ what do they teach over there 😂
America teaches a LOT of american history. It focuses far more on the American revolution, slavery, and especially the American Civil War. It pretty much barely talks about World War I and when it comes to World War II, it focuses far more on Europe and what the Europeans went through as opposed to what happened in Asia. When they do teach about Asia in World War II it’s usually talking about how the Japanese we’re ruthless and about the island hopping campaign as well as the two nukes that were dropped.
Well more Russians died than jews too. It's the fact that all those Jews were killed directly as opposed to starvation while free or illness. But yes, more Chinese civilians died than jews which is heartbreaking.
In China, everyone is taught that WEST = Bad, terrible brainwashing
China's Great Leap Forward killed an estimated 30 million of their own people
@@roland1020 it's because they don't want to talk about all the warcrimes they did in asia. Maybe the nuke was the warcrimes that was the most justified compared to rape and massacre that happened in Japan and vietnam they did.
I phrase it this way because if I say american beside things like war crime or word that start with rap_ then youtube doesn't takes even a minute to take down my comment.
Media plays a huge role on peoples mindset. America want their new generations to believe they are the best in this world to the point saying asians wants to look like white american while they know it's more complicated than that. Only a small percentage of asians wants to be considered american since they feel they are not accepted. But in terms of look we don't want to look white. East asians don't want their skin to get darker so they protect it. Keeping light skin was valued for centuries even before the french came. They described us as white like kind of pearl skin. But the american has to dehumanise us (which also led to warcrimes towards many women and child as young as 12) so they had to chose another color to represent east asians since the color "white" is reserved to the superior race in their mindset.
They then chose to describe east asians as brown but funny enough it was plainly obvious that many east asians are whiter than the people we call white. The color brown was easily debunked so they had to chose a light color that isn't white. You guessed it, they chose yellow.
Asians look younger than white people and Kpop beauty is far far different from american and yet they saying we want to look like them. It's like many that keeps saying they are asian with like 1% of asian dna in them. It's really stupid.
"A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself"
Glad they made a sequel to 300
This is like the 2000 stripping worriers from the scriptures. One of my favorite books.
Salute to these brave warriors
So glad I just found this channel! I don't care about spoilers, they will only make me watch the movie more and with how many woke movies, recycled scripts and terribly made remakes, this channel is made that more important and not just giving us a trailer with great footage that never even makes it into the final cut. Bravo guys, Bravo 👏👏
This movie is absolutely fire
are u gonna stream for 5 days cuz update is coming out on sunday or saturday
Just so everyone remembers, this was KMT Chinese troops under CKS. KMT had many faults, however, resisting the Japanese isn't one of them
This is based on a true story, also the Japanese weren't allowed to invade Shanghai because it would have been an act of war. (It was invaded after Pearl Harbor was bombed)
The internal zone, not the city its self
the city itself was invaded nonetheless, the japanese just left the international settlements largely untouched
What?
@ Patracic,
You mixed up Shanghai city and Shanghai international concessions. Japan took over every part of the city except the latter which they grabbed on the day of pearl Labor
i love it omg i love your video
HEY! I've seen this one before, it's a classic!
The japanese are probably the scariest people on the planet.
Except the nintendo ones. They are cool.
used to but not anymore.
This feels so realistic
Because it is
This is amazing
finally a kinda good and grounded to reality and not overly fiction war about china against the Japanese army
Absolutely no propaganda in this very accurate documentary. 😂
At least the directors tried to be accurate without causing a stir, like they cut scene time of the ROC flag, deleted a Chinese student character.
this is literally nationalist china before communist takeover lmfao i bet you dont even know the horrible things japan did to china during ww2... more chinese people were killed by japanese than nazis killed jews
It’s as accurate as Chinese movies can get.
It's a movie, Einstein.
If you think war movies are not propaganda just because some westenrer made them, then you must be 3 years old.
@1:19…that’s actually Captain Yang Deyu. He was the one that said “Lights out!!” during the shootout and had his eye blinded by debris in the end.
The other guy shown repeatedly was officer Qi Jiaming, made friends with Duanwu, was doing the shadow puppets, and was one of the small teams that went out in the end
The colonel Xi Jinyuan that you keep mistaking actually did not show up too much until later
It’s ok there was many characters in the movie
Shanghai with Cussack was good too, yes.
from what i gathered from a book i read (Peter Harmsens Shanghai 1937), there was never poisonous gas actually used. Instead, both sides wanted to blame each other for using poison gas as a way to gain traction for their own sides morals. Additionally, smoke grenades were often mis understood as poison gas from far away, and of the few instances TEAR gas was used and that too was often thought to be poison gas. From most sources, the implementation of genuine poison gas was never an actual occurrence but there is a possibility. Additionally, when the battalion was authorized to retreat the majority of runners made it across to friendly lines successfully from what i gathered. Still a great movie
Great summary! Just a suggestion, it would be awesome if you could pronounce names of characters in their own language. It would bring a whole new level of authenticity to your videos.
What I like about this movie is the fact that its made IN MAINLAND CHINA/PRC by a mainland Chinese production company, director, etc etc. but it doesn't try to to co-opt the sacrifices of the NRA/KMT. The Battle for Shanghai was fought exclusively by Republican Chinese forces (now Taiwan), and on many occasions The PRC government has tried to usurp the Republicans' victory over Japan in WW2, granted the communists did take part in the war but in contrast to the sacrifices made by KMT troops, theirs pale in comparison. So I was truly taken aback when I saw this movie proudly and openly displaying the white sun symbol and flag, and even playing the Taiwanese national anthem albeit subtly in one of the scenes. Its really refreshing to see adversaries acknowledge each other. I know that it may be an underhanded way of claiming succession over the KMT, but still.
The Communist Party of China has always recognized and glorified the KMT's resistance to Japan, and you can see that the CPC has made a lot of movies about the KMT's fight against Japan, which reflects the CPC's unwillingness to revise and delete historical facts.
I see a lot of comments that this is a CCP propaganda without recognizing that the troops in this movie were from the ROC (not PRC). If there was a shooting war between PRC & ROC again, Taiwanese are going to suffer from American friendly fire because it seems like Yanks surely cannot tell the difference between a PRC flag and a ROC flag. Just like they cannot tell a difference between a Chinese and a Singaporean, aka Tom Cotton's interrogation against TikTok CEO.
@@xsrchow2499The CCP has never glorified NRA contributions. In fact the movie was criticised for being overly glorifying of the NRA and was held up over a year to undergo cuts and editing.
@@taoliu3949 Bro CCP made more than one movie about the KMT fighting the Japanese, but the KMT won't even mention that CCP fought the Japanese, and in China they have bases that honor the KMT. So far China still has the KMT.

For those who doesn't know. It was the KMT army who fought in WW2 while Chinese communist party and their PLA was preparing for Civil war
I call BS on this, the KMT did indeed face the bulk of the IJN onslaught, but the communist contributions to the war effort can't be discredited.
@@95ellington 90 % of the casuality was KMT . during the war PLA number and controlled arra swelled. I am not saying PLA did not fight any battle at all but KMT fought the bulk of the war
No. They both fought the Japanese eventually, they even formed a temporary alliance to fight the invading forces. It is just they had very different tactics since the KMT actually had trained soldiers while the CCP just had a rebel army with minimal training and equipment. Even during the alliance, the PLA (army of the CCP) almost entirely engaged in guerilla warfare, avoiding full scale battles against the Imperial Army while the NRA (army of the KMT) engaged in several large scale conflicts.
The KMT fought the bulk of the battles, not the bulk of the war, as the armies just had different tactics.
And the reason the CCP did not fight in the beginning was because the KMT actually appeased the Japanese for a long time in order to try and wipe out the CCP before the inevitable conflict with Japan; this actually proved disastrous for both the KMT and the CCP.
@@nuknukisdead Both fought the Japanese but it was not in the same proportion. Even by CCP leaders admission to The Russians By 1940 only 3% of the total loss was by CCP side while KMT had 97%. Furthermore none of the strategic locations or infrastructure was controlled by CCP almost all of it was controlled by KMT so they got attacked , CCP was mainly based in rural area and forest so they almost went unopposed. They did fought guerilla warfare but it was less effective than the partisan movement in Europe. Most of the battles CCP fought happened long after WW2 ended if you know what I meant.
@@rahulravi6394 If you bring numbers into an argument you need to back it up. Where does it say 97% losses and 3% losses come from?

This film called THE EIGHT HUNDRED, tells the story of soldiers defended a surrounded isolated warehouse in Shanghai. Plz notice that the soldiers were army of Republic of China, meanwhile the red army (predecessor of PLA) was hiding in the cave and ploting the usurpation
But this film was made by PRC,and I advise you to read 《Red Star Over China》,the last paragraph of the book shows that how red army and the northeast army caught chiang kai shek when he visit Xi'an just for the unity in the War of Resietance Against Japan，so your opinion might be wrong
@@JackieLi0106 you LITERALLY just said "the Chinese reds ambushed the white Chinese" which coincides with not only what the OP said (which is true, the reds hid for most of the anti-japanese offensives, this is a historical fact) but what history says as well. F*CK the Reds.
From Mao's own mouth, he thanked the Japanese, saying their invasion paved the way for their communist forces to beat the nationalist forces that had ACTUALLY fought the Japanese.
@@WhatsThis9977 No, I understand perfectly. The thing is, when people are idiotically wrong, they need to know it.
Exactly, this is the KMT army now in Taiwan. Just because this is filmed in mainland china by a co-production doesn't mean the communist army wasn't hiding in shaanxi plotting to overthrow chiang kaishek

The chinese nation will never perish
The part when Chinese strap bombs and go to become suicide bombers, what’s funny is that in WW2 Japan was the one doing that they told airplanes that when they lost ammo or fuel to crash into enemy warships losing a plane plus life but destroying a warship and many many people.
They learned that from the chinese lol
when I read the title I tought this was about a battle of yultong
Anyone know these movies saw them in the 90's but didn't get there names: 1.2 couples, a guy are trapped in town evil spirit, his victim's now zombies returned from the grave for vengence Sheriff's daughter/granddaughter was forced to marry villain or he, gang would trap town people in mine but did it anyway to take over town. The guy tries to sacrifice 1 of the boyfriends but is stopped, attacked by the zombies. 1 of the boyfriends tries to get to the cars but is attacked his girlfriend goes to help but is attacked as well. The remaining couple realize the spirit of the sheriff's d/gd showed them where the key's were to let the zombies in. Guy opens the gates etc while girl goes up, distracts the spirit offering a deal to let the couple, d/gd go or else. Spirit say's he's going to keep her, d/gd while giving the guy to the zombies when they come in and attack him freeing them all.
2. A creature (Monster/Alien) is trapped in a lake. It was trapped using some kind of stone? pyramid device it hibernates then wakes up, causing fish kills while searching for the pyramid to free itself the 2 hero's realize they can track it using the fish kills, figure out a guy looking for alien's has the pyramid they go, tell him. He doesn't believe them thinking they want the pyramid to prove alien's exist, get credit, but creature shows up and tries to pull the pyramid into the water to free itself. The pyramid activates and a piece the hero's had reattaches and the other function activates destroying the creature for good along with the pyramid.
At this particular period you guys need to understand this were the Kuomintang or the White Army before the PLA rise to power. Just so you guys are at the same page. Oh forget to tell you, The PLA were not this big or strong they were if i am not mistaken up on the hills/mountain hiding.
The PLA were almost wiped out at that time. They used the war to spread propoganda and increase their numbers
It’s like 300 but x2 better
Get it? Wink wink nudge nudge
actually 2.66 x more better
Actually ~1.5 times better since there are only 452

The CCP almost banned this film because it portrayed the KMT in a good patriotic light. CCP has been painting KMT as the slackers, cowards or slackers during WWII while CCP as the major sacrifice.

- first of all there are no ‘deserter groups’ in the warehouse but rather almost all the soldiers there were volunteers, when the 88th division was called up to hold sihang , there were ample opportunities to desert or pretend they didn’t receive the order given, all those that arrived at the warehouse knew it was a suicidal mission and came willingly.
- the Japanese never used gas for fear of accidentally hitting the concessions
- when the order came to retreat, there were no massive ambushes or attacks but rather most of the soldiers were taken into custody by the British in the concessions
- that strap grenade to soldier and throw him down thing was a singular event done by a heavily traumatised soldier who wanted to end his life
What do you expect this was made as a government propaganda movie to motivate patriotism, nothing more.
@@seanlee5406 Propaganda propagated by the very same government who used the second world war as an opportunity to overthrow its previous government. Now they claim credit for the defence of China. Tragic region of the world.
@@viktoriyaserebryakov2755 Defence of the nation but not its heritage nor the people saddly. The communist government destroyed much of the national treasure and hertiage under reasoning of abolishing the old ways. Now they want to own other country's culture and heritage claiming everything good came from China.... except COVID apparently...
@@seanlee5406 You do realize the Chinese (Communist) government actually stopped the release of this movie the day before it was set to premier right? They even criticized the fact that it didn't depict the Chinese (Nationalist) in a more realistic (aka negative) light.
Good points its what bugged me about the movie too. I choose to not watch it due to how over the top the trailers that I saw were. Though if I recall correctly the Japanese did attack the Chinese as they were crossing the bridge.
Am i the only 1 who feels this was a little rushed compared to the other videos in this channel
Still nice to see this though 👍
imagine coming back from a trip and then you see a war
*Video:* "The Chinese army accounts for 70% of Japanese casualties in WW 2"
*FAT MAN:* " You sure about that?"
*LITTLE BOY:* "I think they didn't count civilians"
@Alenas Kvasninas not rly, it rly was a group effort between the big 3: WW2 was won with British will, Russian blood, and American steel
@@piecharb.1343
Not true, the victory in WW2 is a combined effort of every allied nation. Not just the big 3.
a shame, most do not realize that the Chinese of WW2 are not the same Chinese of today. China was a democratic country at the time of WW2 and upon the exhaustion of the Chinese National troops defending against Japan in which the Marxist faction of China (already had armies) did nothing to aide in the defense of the country. So when Japan was finally defeated, they came in and mopped up the National army and sent the Democratic government of China fleeing and resettled to Taiwan.
This is why Taiwan is such an issue with China. Taiwan represents the true Chnese National Government that was overthrown by the marxist. Just like what will happen to you guys in the USA when the Marxist take over and say the survivors of your government make a stronghold in Alaska. Give 70 years of propaganda and eventually you would all forget and even that history would be lost to you.
What a fool of you. Taiwan was nothing but a Japanese colony during WW2, many Taiwanese joined the Japanese army fought against the allies. Taiwan, as a part of Japan was the enemy of the free world.
'Democracy'. The ROC wasn't a democracy whatsoever during WW2. You need to go and learn some history.
@@macbethhm ROC = Republic of China. What is the USA? A Republic, a form of democracy. Not sure what's so difficult for you to grasp or do you want to play pretend and claim that China was always a Communist nation and that two Communist/Dictator nations (Japan/China) were fighting each other prior to and during the 2nd WW?
@@The_Zilli Just because a country has the word ‘republic’ in its name doesn’t make it a democracy. Look at the Democratic Republic of Korea, is that democratic? You don’t grasp that nationalist China was a dictatorship and the fact that communist China won is because it had the massive majority support of the poor and impoverished rural areas and population which gave them sheer numbers against nationalist china. It wasn’t because of the Japanese or any myth of the sort, so many communists died fighting the Japanese.
@@macbethhm Actually Ive done my research into China and if you had, then you would have been aware of the propaganda campaign that the Communist launched decades earlier which pitted the youth against the elders with very similiar slogans that one can find today being used by Greta and her Environmental movement. In fact, they are eerie similiar that even Greta's look mirrors the posterchild of the girls used back in the day of China. And yes, you are correct to highlight that the naming of a country/party does not necessary mean it is what it's named as however if you're under the belief that the Communist came in there to help save the every day working people from the "horrors" of the Nationalist, then you're sadly mistaken. The fact that you even believe that "nationalism" is a form of evil in your mind tells me just how much brainwashing that you've swallowed. Taken directly from Wiki itself "The first Republic of China national government was established on 1 January 1912, in Nanjing, and was founded on the Constitution of the ROC and its Three Principles of the People, which state that "[the ROC] shall be a democratic republic of the people, to be governed by the people and for the people." Now, I wonder when China takes over the USA and replaces its values with their own, will you be coming on YT and trying to convince everyone just how evil the American Nationalist were or are you smart enough to admit that you're a useful idiot and been played.
SOMEONE KNOW HOW TO USE THIS VOICE, IS THIS AN APP, SOFTWARE ?
Yep was a good one seen it
A movie named Wuhan will be great!
About the revolution in wuhan?
@@NUSORCA Nah to hold China more accountable for getting the entire world sick 🤢
@@NUSORCA No about the battle of Wuhan

I think he’s talking about the virus 💀💀💀
The Chinese were responsible for far less than 70% of Japanese casualties. The Americans killed more with one bomb than Chinese army or resistance fighters. They were very flawed as an organized army. The followers of Mao were just as happy selling out or killing nationalists and vice versa. This incident however, was a heroic, go tell the Spartans moment.
Civilians and combatants are not the same.
@@samvodopianov9399 I understand that fact Sam, the narrator of the video claimed that China was responsible for 70% of Japanese casualties. The American military erased more Japanese combatants than the Chinese did by an order of magnitude.
@@flywheel9759 "The Americans killed more with one bomb than Chinese army or resistance fighters". You are confusing military casualties and civilian deaths. It is true that most Japanese deaths occurred in south east Asia, China and Manchuko. Arguably though, US and Australian battles were more desicive as ship battles, while with less men, were more important for logistics and air power than the mainland occupations.
@@samvodopianov9399 Ship battles were a big part of the American strategy, however their were also many land battles during the island clearing campaign. Check out the casualty lists from places like, Tarawa, New Guinea, Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Philipines, Guam, Saipan, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. Large ship to ship battles were pretty much over after Suragao Strait.
@@flywheel9759 It heavily depends if you include fighting before 1941.
this movie looked one of the most realistic for me
Salute to those heroes. Whoever made this movie, if you want to pay your respect to the those heroes, please, you can a better job.
Remmember, these Chinese fought for China, not the communist regime it is now
i was about to say that it’s sad that these soldiers were basically fighting against modern day china.
@@bigboxxx ..technically the Nationalists and Communists were fighting the Japanese. Then almost immediately the Civil War resumes
@@bigboxxx 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
the communist regime is what make china it is now, yes KMT fought facism but they themselves are facist too lol
That's like saying US soldiers fought for USA, not the current Democrat regime it is now.
Cool vid
This story reminds me of the ghosts legend from COD
Gr8 movie, true in history. 😊
This was my favourite movie preety cool
Teacher:tell me a elemet that you know
Me:ELEMENT OF SUPRISE (ES)
I watched this movie last year. I really liked it. I've been interested about what was happening to China during the second world war. Could someone please explain to me why British and American reporters were there?
British have been there since the Opium Wars in 1840's. Americans just took advantage of the situation where China was weak and invaded as well. US was one of the major drug trafficker and smugglers in China. FDR's grandfather made a huge fortunate in the opium trade during the late 19th century in China.
@@DucaTech Thank you for that fascinating bit of information.
Parts of Shanghai were foreign concessions at the time (similar to Hong Kong). The International Settlement which was under joint US/UK control was right next to the Sihang Warehouse. That was the number 1 reason why Chiang Kai shek ordered the battalion to stay and defend the warehouse even after the rest of the NRA had retreated. He was basically trying to bring the war to the Westerners and force them to get involved. Its partly also why the IJA had so much difficulty taking the warehouse, because they couldn't just bomb the building out of existence.
@@taoliu3949 Thank you for the interesting info.
the BEST war movie I have ever seen. light years better than Hollywood crap!!
