"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.

#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.
