The Nanjing Military region a surname Liu's colonel in affirmed "the Chinese Expeditionary Force" the entire TV drama's intention and the content, also has put forward own opinion to this drama. The active military also from a professional point of view he said: "Some of the plot and details are a big loophole." Hanshaogong with a company, but he Shan the British Army is a battalion, this kind of unequal handover is not possible, in addition, in the handover procedure, is not the mouth on the handover, there must be some necessary formalities, such as a small proportion of the defensive position sketch, take this map can transfer, But it was too trifling to deal with the details. "In this case, Dong Yachun said:" The current provisions are such, but in the war era there will be special circumstances.

During the war there were many unexpected situations, which could not comply with the rules.

I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to the research audience of these enthusiastic professionals. "The Chinese Expeditionary Force" boasts a comprehensive and meticulous display of history, but it is also a work of art, how to deal with the relationship between the needs of history and art, has become a big problem of the play. Dong Yachun said: "This is a particularly difficult problem, from the beginning of the creation of this contradiction." We create the starting point is based on historical facts as the yardstick, there are real historical figures, but also have to be set for the artistic effect of the virtual image, how to combine is a difficult problem, but we must follow this path to go. "Dong Yachun that if only the real historical figures, there is no need to shoot the TV series:" A drama to have a story has a character image, to rely on our complex and ideals. So on the one hand we will show the real history and the battle, on the other hand we also want to shape the ideal of the characters, the complex of heroism and the people of the nation's expectations of the family on them. These feelings are not easy to put on the real people, because they are all can be tested, only through the virtual characters to reflect. Also hoped that the audience can use the artistic vision to see the TV series, allows the artistic creation. ”
