Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help!

[edit] Helmets

One thing that left me wondering is that did the Communist and Nationalist wore American M1 helmet? In this movie, almost everybody wore the M1 (except the sniper in the beginning who were wearing a cotton cap that is accurate) I thought the Lend Lease was only given to the Nationalist since they were trained by Americans. Didnt the majority wore German M35 helmets while the Communist wore either the Soviet Army helmet or almost no headgear at all? Makes me wonder if this was a detail mistake in the movie or they tried to make it as a nod to Band of Brother and Saving Private Ryan. Kinda sad, since I always prefered the M35 helmet design.

Nationalist wore M1 helmets during the Chinese civil war; Communist initially did not have helmets, but later wore all types of helmets (mostly captured), including Japanese type 92 from the Kwantung Army stockpile and M1 helmets from dead Nationalists and POWs. Since the movie sets its stage at the HuaiHai Campaign, I think they wore captured helmets from KMT because if you look closely, there is a small hole in the middle of their helmet, which I speculate is where the 12-ray sun emblem was pulled out.

[edit] Kudos to whoever made this!!!

First, I offer thanks to whoever made this article. I thought the story was good as well.

Also, do we have reports on the cost and the earnings at the box office? I read the cost one at sina before it was released, but does anyone know the intake at the box office?
