2 Tunnel Warfare (1965)

Tunnel Warfare is a classic Chinese war movie of the 1960s. It tells a story about how a small village Gaojiazhuang successfully defended itself from the Japanese army through the use of the underground tunnel networks, which were dug and designed by the villagers to serve as both a hiding spot as well as a place to launch attacks.

Because of the rich retails about battlefield confrontation and a vivid depiction of heroic characters, the film soon gained wide popularity after its release in 1965. However, the movie's influence only reached its peak when it became one of the only three movies that were allowed to screen during the year 1966 to 1970, the other two were Landmine Warfare (1962) and Fighting North and South (1952).
