Synopsis: The snipers of the fifth squad, led by their company commander (Zhang Yi), have become a major problem for the enemy, with the squad leader, Liu Wenwu (Zhang Yu), a key sniper target. In order to hit the sniper squad hard, the enemy deploys an elite sniper team with the most advanced weaponry, forcing the sniper squad to enter a dangerous place to save their companions. But as the enemy plays their own game, they fail to realize that the scout they use as bait, Liang Liang (Liu Yitie), is actually hiding a bigger secret… [© Far East Films]
