A 1980 film directed by Toshio Masuda with special effects by Teruyoshi Nakano dealing with the battle for Hill 203 in the RussoJapaneseWar.
Had two sequels of a sort, ''Battle Of The Japan Sea: Umi Yukaba" and "The Imperial Japanese Empire'' the latter dealing with the SecondSinoJapaneseWar.
The hill was eventually captured at stupendous loss of life on both the Japanese and Russian sides. The capture of the hill enabled the Japanese army to put pressure on the Russian pacific fleet, thus securing the Japanese victory together with Admiral Togo's "lucky" win in the coming naval battle.
!!This film provides tropes of:
*AwardBaitSong: "Sakimori No Uta" by Masashi Sada; played twice in the film, once after the SedgwickSpeech by the faceless soldier, with a full choir treatment for that rendition, and the record version played during the credits.
