I'm remembering a scene from an animated show where a group of heroes infiltrate a fort then shoot off a flare gun, starting a major battle. It was at night and I think vaguely WWI/WWII feel, but I'm also 90% certain it was in an anime or anime-styled video game.
It's been bugging me all week, anyone got any ideas where this scene comes from?
The only time I remember a flare preceding a fight is in the ME3 turian platoon mission on tuchanka.

What I remember is that there is a struggle with the sneaking group, and one manages to break free and fire the flare gun, which causes everyone to stop and stare for a moment, then there is a pan out across a field or valley and an allied force starts an attack (I think with tanks or maybe rifles).

Given how vague memory is, maybe you're thinking of Valkyria chronicles? A tank is involved and there's not really a struggle, but there is a flare gun involved in an anime-styled video game in WWI/WWII during a sneaking mission.

It doesn't really fit what you're mentioning and is kind of a stretch, but when I hear "people infiltrating a fort in WWI setting off a battle with a flaregun" I think of the second level of TimeSplitters 3:

I'm wanting to say they were your standard anime characters, and that it was 100% at night time and animation. One was wearing Chinese clothes (the lace-up front silk suit sort of thing).

It's got that kinda flash/archer movement though, so I'm not sure you'd remember it as anime. Nothing else comes to mind right now though.
Edit: oops, should have read closer. Dont think this is what he's looking for. Sorry!
but they're listening to every word I say
is the clip from Valkyria Chronicles.

It might not be what you're looking for, but you should play it anyway if you have a PS2/Xbox/Gamecube lying around somewhere.
