English name: We Were Soldiers

Chinese name: We Were Soldiers

The story takes place in 1965 at the beginning of the Vietnam War, the U.S. Army's 1st Battalion of the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division, under the blind command of the first battalion of the U.S. Army, landed in the center of the North Vietnamese military build-up without any knowledge or preparation. The North Vietnamese had already deployed more than 2,000 troops around the landing site, and the 1st Battalion fighters had to face an enemy nearly five times their size. Although they were backed by powerful long-range and airborne firepower, they were outnumbered, and the 1st Battalion was forced to fight an exceptionally hard battle for survival.

Fortunately, the North Vietnamese, with their limited intelligence and cautious command, did not seize the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and wipe out the entire camp in one fell swoop. After two days of fighting with more than 100 casualties, the first battalion was finally able to leave the battlefield and return to the base with the second battalion, which had come to relieve the siege. However, on the way, due to the inexperience of the 2nd Battalion Commander, he ordered the column, which had been dragged 500 yards through the jungle, to stop advancing just for the sake of interrogating the two prisoners of war. Crashing into the raw power of the North Vietnamese side on the weak side of the fire, the 1st Battalion was almost swept away in the heat of battle.
