The battles in the film are basically street battles and encounters in buildings. The realism is very strong. There is not much blessing of invincibility aura, and many details are highlighted.
A brief summary of some fighting skills, it feels quite practical:
1. The muzzle of the teammate following behind should be pointed at the ground, not at the back of the teammate in front of the muzzle.
2. Don't think that the long barrel magazine is the advantage, especially in the street fight, the short gun pistol and even the short knife ice axe are more reliable than the long gun.
3. If you have a helmet and body armor, wear it as much as possible. Don't dislike clumsiness and choose to wear lightly.
4. Soviet-made weapons are cheap and durable, but it is common to lose the chain at critical moments. The probability of RPG duds is surprisingly high. Don't rely too much on Soviet-made weapons.
5. Don't think that throwing a grenade is a simple thing. There is usually little training, and it is not uncommon to be bounced back by obstacles in street fighting. Don't throw it around if you are not sure.
6. When passing through narrow roads or streets, it is not always safe to stick a wall.
7. Don't have too much mercy on the wounded of the enemy, especially extremists, there is no mercy in the war.
I hope that the directors and screenwriters of the Celestial Dynasty can learn from it and make fewer brain-dead dramas so that the audience can experience the real war scenes.
The storyline itself doesn't have many highlights, and there is even a little bit of blood, such as the section where Lu Yu pulls the corpse of the two children. Overall, it can be given 4 stars.
