" Chinese Expeditionary Force " has a Douban score of 8.1 points, compared with " West Yunnan 1944" and "Expedition" with the same theme! expedition! 》 is both higher. From this point of view, "The Chinese Expeditionary Force" is indeed better than "Western Yunnan 1944" and "The Expedition! expedition! 》It must be good.
But this is just judging from the Douban score. Overall, what is the TV series "China Expeditionary Force" like? First of all, let’s talk about the advantages of this show.
restore history. In history, most of the Chinese Expeditionary Forces wore straw sandals when they first entered Myanmar. In the play, when the soldiers of the 200th Division took over the British army's defense in Tonggu, some of the soldiers also wore straw sandals, unlike "Expedition!" expedition! The Chinese Expeditionary Army soldiers in "The Chinese Expeditionary Army" were all wearing all the cloth shoes; the Savage Mountain in the drama "The Chinese Expeditionary Army" is a real tropical rainforest, and it rains from time to time in the sky. At that time, the crew did go to the primeval forest in Yunnan to shoot scenes on Savage Mountain. In contrast, "The Expedition! expedition! The Wild Man Mountain in 》 is more like a forest where farmers look for wild mushrooms, without the slightest smell of tropical rainforest.
finished talking about the advantages of the drama "China Expeditionary Force", let’s talk about its shortcomings.
1. The plot is too chaotic. The same TV series directed by Dong Yachun , "China Expeditionary Force" has a Douban score of 8.1, while " Changsha Defense Battle " has a Douban score of 8.6. Why? Because the plot of "China Expeditionary Force" is too chaotic and makes people unable to keep up with the rhythm. It is better to say that it is filming the Chinese Expeditionary Force, Han Shaogong's military career in (China Expeditionary Force" should be the same type of TV series as "Oriental Battlefield". In general, the drama "Chinese Expeditionary Force" was carefully crafted in the early stage and ended in a hurry later.
2. The title of the TV series is too wide and it is not completely filmed. The Chinese Expeditionary Forces include the 5th Army, the 6th Army, the 66th Army, the New 1st Army, the New 6th Army, the 11th Army and the 20th Army. The battles/wars they participated include Tonggu Battle , Ren'anqiang Victory , Hukang Valley Battle , Myitkyina Battle, Songshan Battle , Tengchong Battle , Longling Battle , etc. In the play, only the 200th Division and the New 38th Division appeared, and the 5th Army occasionally appeared. The same is true for this drama. This drama only filmed the Battle of Tonggu, the Great Victory of Ren'anqiang, the Battle of Hukang Valley and the Battle of Myitkyina. Other battles during the counterattack in western Yunnan were not filmed. "Expedition!" expedition! 》At least, he filmed the Tengchong Battle.
3. The male lead should not be Han Shaogong. Why is the male lead in "The Battle of Changsha" Xue Yue ? Because the first Changsha Battle of , the first Changsha Battle of , the second Changsha Battle of , and the third Changsha Battle of in history were all commanded by Xue Yue. In addition, Xue Yue is also the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone and has the right to mobilize all troops in the Ninth War Zone. According to this logic, the male lead in "The Chinese Expeditionary Force" should not be Han Shaogong, but Stilwell, because Stilwell is the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and has the right to mobilize all the troops of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Although Stilwell had limited command over the Chinese Expeditionary Force when the Chinese Expeditionary Force entered Myanmar for the first time, Stilwell also formed the Chinese Army in India and also commanded a counterattack in northern Myanmar. Although the counterattack in western Yunnan was commanded by Wei Lihuang , if Stilwell and Roosevelt had not put pressure on Chiang Kai-shek , would Chiang Kai-shek order the 200,000 Expeditionary Forces to liberate western Yunnan?
