when they yell their names out loud and apologize to their families for doing a suicide attack for their country, it just hurts even more.

They are not Chinese German, they are the 800 Chinese troops holding out at Shanghai against the Japanese covering the retreat of the Nationalist forces. Is from the movie The 800 I think, they wear German gear since Germany provided them with weapons and gear before WWII broke out in Europe.

The Chinese used a lot of German equipment ,they got the from German trading teams in the early 1930’s

Salute to our ancestors who fought for our land, regardless of their ideologies.

Change it to "Chinese troops in German Equipment"

China and Germany had quite a good relationship before world war II broke out.Nationlists formed some units equipped with German equippments and also trained by German officers.But due to the fact that China was a backward agricultural country,they can only form very few of these German-like units with a low military budget.In fact,Chinese have almost none of these units left after the battle of shanghai.

2:34 this scene genuinely got me in tears

The best thing was Hans with his Flammenwerfer

Brutal, All of WW2 was horrible but the fighting between China and Japan at the time was on a different level

Chinese (German trained unit) hold out at Shanghai would be a better title as that is what this film is based off of. They wear Stahlhelms and use German equipment such as Stielhandgranate’s and Mauser Karabiner 98K’s as Germany supplied them with that equipment prior to the invasion of Poland (September 1939.) also an extra note, the Sino-Japanese theatre of WW2 (and prior to the break out of WW2) was probably one of the bloodiest theatres you could have possibly fought in. Also, the battle of Shanghai is sometimes referred to as “the Chinese version of Stalingrad” as it parallels the Soviet battle for Stalingrad on the eastern front (during the German invasion of the USSR, советский-союз.) Just wanted to stop by and give people some information in case some people didn’t know what this was about and if anyone was confused about the title.

The Chinese soldiers were wearing Germany uniforms, because China was an ally of the Weimar Republic.

They’re heroes from ROC(Republic of China), and their descendants are Taiwanese now.

This unit received german military training and one of the best elite unit the Chinese have

Later, the Japanese would hand over various captured goodies from the Chinese to Japan's auxiliary troops. My grandpa serve in Kyōdo Bōei Giyūgun (Indonesian Homeland Defender) and he was issued with stahlhelm and Gewehr88. Cannot really confirm the gewehr since he passed away decades ago and the only photo about him while still in service shows that he actually carried British Sten gun. Edit: I found what weapon it is, turns out it is not Gewehr 88 but Mannlicher model.1895 (captured KNIL weapon)

为中华民国的国民革命军致敬，感谢各位为中华民族的牺牲

Chinese KMT were equipped with German equipments, and correct me if I'm wrong, this battalion/company is one of the fully equipped not like their peers

Japan dude: are this boys with the helmets not in our team?

Suicide attacks may seem silly in this video, but in the Sino-Japanese war of the time, suicide attacks as well as large-scale cold-weapon melee combat regularly broke out on both sides (Japanese soldiers preferred to get close to the enemy to win in close combat, while Chinese soldiers' poor supply capabilities led to perhaps one rifle for every two to three soldiers).

For Germany, China always played major role economically, more than Japan. That's why they traded with them military equipment

If I'm not mistaken, I read they were a special battalion that was trained by the Wehrmacht. Only they had the gear and clothing that look exactly like pre-WW2 German soldiers. Too bad they don't have anti-tank weapons or heavy machine gun, they have to use themselves as body shield.

Now imagine if hearts of iron 4 showed battles like this...

It wasn't actually 800, it was 400 but to make the Japanese fear them abit extra, they said 800

It's like watching someone play battlefield 5

The place where the story happened is separated from my house by a river.

When start yelling their names and apologize, damn goosebumps.

The suicide bombing part is actually an accurate part of the battle believe it or not. They did everything they could to stop the Japanese from moving in.

2:05 Roman shield wall?

I had forgotten that the Chinese infantryman wore a "German helmet"............ as the Chilean army which also has the "helmet to tip"( Pickelhaube) nowadays! 😜

That suicide attack damn !!! thats even more hardcore than the soviet ones !

I remember this movie. I loved it!

The way how they shouted their name out loud and other stuff

What a powerful scene

诸位，这不是德国训练的中国军队，也不是由德国提供装备的中国军队，我们习惯把这批带着M35头盔的军队叫做“德械师”，实际上他们拥有的武器和装备跟德国军队相比，不值一提。这支军队仅仅是装备了德国军装，M35头盔，水壶，少部分装备了铲子。因此这其实是一个很弱的军队。我们使用的步枪叫“中正步枪”，跟Kar98K很像，因为他们都是对24步枪的模仿。很悲哀，这支军队在中国国内被认为是精英部队，实际上一个连队才拥有5把MP18冲锋枪

one of the most heartbreaking movie

The Eight Hundred (Chinese: 八佰) is a 2020 Chinese historical war film

Boy: playing with toy soldiers* Mom: "That's so cute" Boy's imagination:

its Chinese soldiers in German gears. Germany was a weapon supplier before WW2. The Chinese had been embroiled in a continuous civil war and then the Sino-Japanese war, up to WW2

I like the Scene Where the japanese comando swims under the Wearehouse and attacks the Chinese only with knives

This channel made millions without giving credits or shit if nobody talk about it

You can also said that their uniform also represent China’s International army during WW2

What do you think guys happened to japanese if the german give chinese a tank and armored car and German train Chinese like Wehrmacht? Hmmm??

Cameraman is immortal

The light on scene had me chilled idk why

Already watch this movie and it's one of the best I can tell Edit: this will be repeated but this time from ww3😂

this clip is so EPIC

Need more movies like this

This is precisely the only way to counter a terran bunker rush, otherwise you cannot fast expand.

Defeat is what you get when not taking cover under fire and using a flamethrower inside.

They are Chinese. But, they are mostly using German equipment. 😅

muy buena película pero exagerada pero se ve muy buena los efectos y la lines de acción.

1:43 that Coca-Cola billboard tho

I would like to know more about Shotgun Admin :) Where are you from dude?

Excellent!!!!

Elite Kuomintang troops in Shanghai were supplied with the MP18, and I'd wager they got MG34s too. Would be cool to see some movie depicting these guns used against a Japanese human wave. It's gonna be just as spectacular as Thompsons and .30 Cals shredding a Banzai charge in the Pacific.

I will add these were not the coward commies. The coward commies did next to NO fighting.

dunno man.. when they jump with all that granades, and said " im sorry mom" it makes me... daaammn...

この動画では飛ばされてるけど、実は作中内に日本兵も自爆攻撃を仕掛けてる。

The Koumitang is the real China, true heros 🇹🇼

The title of this clip should be: The 88th german trained division of the National Revolutinary Army.

KMT fought japanese and loss many soldiers. Mao zidong: my time have come.

German? They are Chinese troops with German equipment. I think, this happened before the alliance of Germany with Japan.

中華民國萬歲!!!!!!!!

Một bộ phim cực đỉnh của các đạo diễn Trung quốc... Từ khâu âm thanh cho đến nội dung thực tế của cuộc kháng chiến tàn khốc này của nhân dân TQ

思ったより面白そうで草

Change your title please, your understanding of China's history here is horrible. Already people are arguing correctly the reason. If you really want it should be 'German-trained Chinese troops unit defends against Japanese attacks'.

bring rifle for gun fight but on close quarter combat

Chinese German army fighting the Japanese. That is action packed!

在中国有很多玩家喜欢cosplay二战德军的服装，我觉得这就是根源

Those are not Chinese Germans, those are just German helmets what Chinese used, Chinese forces that time used a lot of German aided equipment.

"Chinese German" - Your history knowledge is - 0

imagine what would happen when germans were sent to china earlier to train their troops, talking about like directly after ww1, the 20 year peace period, maybe if they even had half a million german trained+equipped chinese soldiers then they could maybe even hold out japan on their own and repelled the IJN's attack, with conscript soldiers as backup and support.

The bomb will bounce off the shield, requiring more gravity

Ironic to know that Chinese uniforms of WW2 resemble the uniforms of the very allies of the enemies they are fighting.

I know it's a weird question, but what if the cameraman actually get protection from the soldier, and some cameraman get killed but other soldier continue filming so everyone can see their enemy's war crime

the eighthundre (2018) very cool war movie

It's not a "Chinese German unit", it's a Chinese unit with German equipment. China bought a lot of stuff from Germany prior to WW2 and there were also quite a few German military advisors in China.

why did they have to strap themselves with grenades and jump out the windows when they could've just thrown the grenades down?

Can someone explain why civilians are just tens of meters away across a river from an explosive firefight like that

this is called Sihang Warehouse AKA chinese thermopylae.

The Chinese 87th and 88th division did not really use German equipment. Besides the helmet and the grenades, they used mostly Chinese made or copied equipment. For example, the standard issue rifle is a copy of the Commission 1924 model, which is called the Chiang Kai-Shek Rifle or Zhong Zheng Style Rifle (7.92mm Mauser). Other divisions would still have many older Hanyang Style Rifle, a copy of the Gewehr 88. Chinese do not have MG34, but still uses Maxim gun and each squad's primary fire power is the Czech ZB 26 light machine gun (20 round) similar to the Bren gun. China also lacked artillery of all kinds. The original plan is to have 60 of these division that are fully trained and equipped, but of course war was forced upon China too early. Chiang was still preparing for war and was hoping for 2 more years to prepare, but the July 7th Marco Polo Bridge incident happened and war came early.

the most stupidest title i even seen "Chinese German unit" so if a Chinese wears the Stahlhelm and suddenly he becomes German? there is no way you made that title because the Nationalist soldier used the German helmets.

Wuhan warehouse defence,1937

我經常用田宮和威龍出品的二戰德軍士兵模型，改造成為二戰國軍德械師和八路軍/新四軍士兵模型，就連外國人都因為看到我改造的中國兵模型，才知道二戰中國兵是何模樣

Holy balls..

At least this one is true not like the PLA's BS special force with modern weapons and gear in WW2 most PLA movies BS 🤣 but this one the Nationalist is historical and good job ❤

The movie is The Eight Hundred

1:30 is my faveroit part right there

Chinese German unit against Japanese Italian with Russian Mexican paratroopers on both sides.

Excelente película, *sería bueno verla en español* . Por otro lado, el casco alemán (que muchos llaman erróneamente: *"nazi"* ) fue adoptado por otras naciones aún antes de 1939 por ser el que quizás mayor protección brindaba a las tropas ante las esquirlas de los proyectiles fragmentarios de la artillería desde la Gran Guerra. Una de tales naciones fue la República Nacionalista China, que tuvo que lidiar por varías décadas con la invasión japonesa tal y como se muestra aquí. >>> Excellent movie, *it would be good to see it in Spanish* . On the other hand, the German helmet (which many erroneously call: *"Nazi"* ) was adopted by other nations even before 1939 because it was perhaps the one that provided the greatest protection to the troops against the fragments of fragmentary artillery shells since the Great War. One such nation was the Nationalist Republic of China, which had to deal with the Japanese invasion for several decades as shown here.

中華民國🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼

War is so terrible for everyone 😞😭😭😭😭

This is like 300 from spartan but 800 from sanghai

What is the name of the movie

🇹🇼

Missleading title its just some german equipment they sold to Chinese !... most of it was ruined in transport by salt water, just like few panzer 1 tanks !

this scene is kinda cool not gonna lie 3:45

To give a bit, the suicidal bombing is likely true, recorded a soldier yelled his name and home town before jumping out of window with bundle of grenade. Whats fictional would be the number. Yes that action was dump but consider it a desperate move.

thank you Russia

They were Nationalist soldiers who were considered the elite of the Chinese military, they were trained by Germans but no German ever served in their units, and they had German made weapons and equipment.

Lol that last scene Haha What is that? Some Japanese Spa?
