"Sihang" appears to be the Chinese term meaning "Rorke's Drift" or "Wake Island" or "Roberts Ridge." An amazing story, and one that deserves wider recognition. |

#3 Reading the Wikipedia account, it was hard to keep remembering that the Chinese used to be "good guys". I kept accidentally rooting for the Japanese! |

#2 Yeah, the Battle of Shanghai, where Chiang Kai-Shek wasted most of his professional German-trained troops in a battle that could only be lost. |

#1 Thank you for the links. I'm no military history buff, but I'm reading every link. The only one I know about already is Wake Island. |
