During the second battle of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the 9th Corps Command issues an order for the 7th Infantry Company to attack the Sumun Bridge. The 7th Company suffers a tough march to the Sumun Bridge. The soldiers are near their limits, every step forward in the midst of the harsh weather only means another great challenge to the body and mind... When they inch close to the Sumun Bridge, the 7th Company perseveres with sheer and steel-like will power. They bomb and destroy every attempt the US Army makes to repair the Bridge. Three grueling clashes--and the 7th Company finally manage to block the US Army's retreat to Xingnan Port.

The relentless slaughter of decadent American insurgents by courageous and patriotic Chinese heroes continues on apace in The Battle at Lake Changjin II, the hastily released sequel to 2021’s record-breaking epic. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Apr 24, 2022
The Battle at Lake Changjin II should have the more accurate title of The Battle at Lake Changjin: The Deleted Scenes. That's because this cash-grab war movie isn't a true sequel but just a series of scenes that could've been in the first movie. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
