The powerful air support of the U.S. military!

A good war movie has at least the following three factors: alertness to war, cruel and fierce war scenes, and no ideological description of right or wrong!

The focal point of the lens of this film is more focused on the second point: the cruel and fierce war scenes. We Chinese are no strangers to the three wars in Vietnam. We have participated in the three dramatic wars. The first two have helped Vietnam fight. France and the United States, and in the third game we became enemies with Vietnam!

We have learned a lot about the texts and documentaries of the Sino-Vietnamese War. Although we defeated Vietnam in the end, the process can also be described as tragic! The biggest difference from the U.S.-Vietnam war is that we basically did not send out aircraft to participate in the war. First, we did not want to upgrade the scale of the war to give the Soviet Union an excuse for participation. Second, the combat capability of the aircraft was indeed not available!

The US military aircraft in the movie, whether bombers or armed helicopters, can provide the Army with fire support and rescue of the wounded in a short period of time. It was 45 years ago! If we talk about fire support, we can now rely on powerful rocket launchers to replace it, and we don’t know the timeliness of rescue of the wounded. Has our military reached or exceeded the standards of the US military at that time?

    I've seen a lot of this kind of stuff, and this one doesn't really matter.

    The shot is very good, but the background is more interesting. ……During the American War of Independence, France helped the United States and the United Kingdom fight at sea. In 1885, the Qing government and France signed the "Sino-French New Treaty", giving up suzerainty over Vietnam, and Vietnam officially became a French colony. During World War II, Vietnam was occupied by the Japanese; after World War II, Japan surrendered and the French came back and wanted to restore colonial rule. As a result, they were beaten by the Vietnamese People’s Army. …Then the United States will pay back its gratitude. Of course, this is only one of the reasons. This film shows the Battle of the Delang Valley where the North Vietnamese People’s Army first fought head-on in 1965 when the U.S. Army officially entered Vietnam.
