I am reminded of an old WWII movie "Manila Calling". A group of civilians right after the fall of Corregidor take possession of a radio station which they use to send a call for assistance in waging guerilla war against the Japanese. The Japanese surround them and inflict all sorts of vicious actions in an attempt to retake the station before it can be repaired and the call sent out. The station finally goes on the air just as the Japanese launch their final assualt. By the end of the speech calling for assistance one is ready to march to the enlistment hall to sign up to fight the Japs. Tremendously stirring movie.

Similar in concept - 'No Man is an Island', one soldier remains on island to work against the Japanese occupying the area.

I also recall a good production presented by PBS about a company of riflemen during the Napoleonic wars. No idea of title but a good period piece if you want to check sources.
