Night Raid (2007)

Synopsis of Night Raid

Plucky soldiers struggle to defy the odds in this action-packed drama of men at war. In 1937, Chen Xilian (Wang Yongming) commands a battalion of the Eighth Route Army as China battles Japan and communist and nationalist forces vie for China's political future. As Xilian and his men make their way through the hilly forests of Northern China, a female newspaper reporter (He Dandan) travels with them, covering the fighting for a nationalist paper and unwittingly throwing the soldiers off their stride. While on patrol, Xilian discovers that Japanese troops have set up a secret airfield in the hills, and despite the fact they're poorly equipped and greatly outnumbered, he and his men begin mapping out a plan to take on the enemy. Also known as Night Attack, Ye Xi (aka Night Raid) was the first feature film from director An Lan. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
