1 Landmine warfare (1962)

Set against the backdrop of the hardest years in the anti-Japanese war, the 1962 film tells a story of how the militia and villagers in Zhaojiazhuang defend themselves by laying out landmines to ambush the enemy. Characters in the film are vividly presented as brave, wise and patriotic heroes who will never surrender, even under the most extreme circumstance.

Apart being one of the three most well -received war films at that time (the other two were Tunnel Warfare and Fighting North and South), the film heralds a new narrative technique to combine storytelling and military education.
