Death and Glory in Changde — China
The 2010 Chinese film depicts the Battle of Changde (November-December 1943) — 8,000 Chinese Nationalist soldiers hold the city against 100,000 Japanese troops for over three weeks.
The Battle of Changde was part of Japan's Operation Ka-Go, aimed at capturing the key Hunan city and its rice stores. General Yu Chengwan's 57th Division of approximately 8,000 men held the city against vastly superior Japanese forces for 21 days before Chinese relief forces arrived. The battle was a rare Chinese tactical success in the otherwise catastrophic Ichigo offensive period.
