Attention At ease
I came to test the new rifles
Come to the firing, Sir
Open it
Yes, sir
Marshal, these 3,000 rifles
are long-range and quickloading
and are very powerful
With these rifles
The 3rd Division will be invincible
The enemy will fall in a few days
and you will be in full control
Sir, the 3rd Division
must move as soon as possible
Dispatch all the trains
to transport those troops
I'm dying of hunger
And I can't sleep for the noise
Nothing's right, damn it
What are you doing?
What about it?
It's Brother Meng
You must be hungry
Do I have to live on these?
Brother Meng
Gentlemen
You have an easy time
living off the people. Lend me some of it
Sir, do you know them?
They're drunk
I've asked everywhere
but nobody seems to know them
Continue asking around
Remember, my name is Meng Kang
Everyone in town knows me
but you turned out to be blind
I'm looking for Meng Kang
I wonder where I'd find him
That depends on whether he has money
Yes, plenty
Happy days
You're happy that he has money?
Why?
Whenever he's loaded
he spends it freely
especially to the poor people
That’s right
I see
If he's broke, he stays in the woods
and just sleeps
If he's really loaded
He'd be at Phoenix Square
Phoenix Square?
It's full of bordellos
Please come again
Is brother Meng in?
You...
He asked me to come
You're his friend
Come in, Come in
He's in the main hall
Please
Let's have a kiss, come on
The money wasn't marked
but the other things are hot
Go inside
Let's go
I thought nobody knew
but you spotted me
Don't pull weapons. If you kill anyone here
how will you get away?
How much do you want?
Then what do you want with me?
I have a job for you
Big or small?
Big, in fact, never done before
Let's hear it
This is no place to talk. Come
As soon as I step out
your men will be waiting
Is that it
You're a redblooded man of action
that's why I came to you
Don't you trust anyone?
Since you put it that way
I'm willing to be friends
You want to leave
Thank
The garrison commander is here
Step back
Come on
Who was that poxed fellow?
Liu... He's in charge of munitions
Damn
His post is worth a fortune
This is where you live
Yes. People like us
have no use for a home
These...
I'm not responsible
When brother Yieh itches for a fight
the furniture takes the punishment
Look at the holes in the wall
He does that for exercise
Luckily, he didn't bring the house down
You're not so bad yourself
So there's a brother Yieh
You
Come
What's this big job you mentioned?
I won't rob the poor
My target is Marshal Chin
Fine
I want to deprive him
of 3,000 new rifles
and 280,000 rounds of ammunition
What for?
They won't fill our bellies
and we can't dispose of them
I come from the south
I'm soldier
A revolutionary
I see
Once the 3rd Division gets the rifles
we wouldn't have a chance
But if we had the rifles
it would be different. Do you see?
We must wipe out the warlords and unite the country
to restore peace to the people
I've heard about it
A good friend of mine
gave up his life of teaching to join the revolution
Damn It's a capital crime
It's a capital crime
Yes. If you won't do it. Forget I ever mentioned it
Who said I wouldn't do it?
Right We'll need more men
Brother Yieh is available
Where is he?
Probably gambling somewhere
Win your fortune here
Brother Yieh, even if you crush it
A dead hand is a dead hand
What? Call this a dead hand?
Damn you to hell
You're holding a dead hand
Damn you, Yieh
Keep your hands off me
I won't bring you luck
Don't take it hard, Pepper
Only Pepper can handle Yieh
If it's a fight, I'm more than eager
Good
Brother Yieh, you know you lost
Why did you grab the stakes?
Just this once
Brother Yieh
Stop it
I said, stop it
Brother Yieh
Just in time. Come on
Not today. I want words with you
Consider yourselves lucky
This...
Meng Kang
Don't you dare leave
All right
But I've something important to do
See you
Damn you, Meng
Go hide in your hole
just don't let me find you
Who was that girl?
You must be new around here
not to know her
She's the devils sister
and the king of hell's cousin
Brother Meng is no coward
but as soon as he saw her
he sure backed out fast
She's nicknamed Pepper
Nobody dares to rile her
Her name's Hung Yin Feng
It's not that I'm afraid of her
I don't want her to know about this
About what?
Brother Wan here is a revolutionary
We're going to get arms for him
That’s simple
I'm not bragging
but 10 guns I can easily get
Rifles or pistols
Maybe 3 or 4 automatic loaders
Well? Not enough?
Not near it.
3,000 rifles
and 280,000 rounds of ammunition
You're a lunatic
No, we're after the arms
in the munitions dump
I know
But do you know their security?
We must use guile, not force
We'll work on Commander Liu
I've arranged with friends on the railway
to leave behind an engine
They'll say it needs repairs
Once we get the rifles to the station
half the job will have been done
Can you get hold of two trucks?
Well...
Well? Cat got your tongues?
Listen, I have trucks
She... She's...
Her father is head of antismuggling
Every new officer pays homage to him
Miss Hung, you're mistaken
We were only joking just now
Joking I understand
You're afraid I'll rat on you
If there's anything I can be sure of
it's that she won't sell us out
She's one of our girls
Meng Kang, damn you
What did you just say?
Sorry, my mistake
I meant you're one of us
That’s better
3,000 rifles at just $10 each
come to $30,000
Divided among the four of us
that's $7,500 each
I won't do it for a penny less
Pepper, even if we succeed this time
we'll be doing it for nothing
The arms are for the revolution
Afterwards, they'll be worth money
Every time my father goes off with his men
they return carting chests of money
The revolutionary army isn't like that
You wouldn't understand
Don't talk out of turn
No, no
Now that I know, I want in
That won't do
Then I'll tell my father
Brother Wan, Pepper and Meng...
Yieh, I'll tan your hide
Never mind
Just don't tell anyone else
I can still leave town
Wait Why are you going?
We're willing to risk our lives
and you won't believe us
Only your life is worth something
I volunteered for this mission
knowing I'd never return alive
With Pepper here
it will be easier to pull it off
All right, she's one of us
We'll each do our job
Fine
Brother Wan When are we leaving?
Just get ready
Hitch on a carriage
Right
Take care
Right
Hurry up
Did you hear me? On the double
Father Leave two trucks for me
Nonsense The marshal is moving arms
I need all 16 trucks
Yell him two broke down
Don't be silly
I'm not
If I don't get two trucks
I'll never come back
All right, take the two old ones
Let's go
What's this?
Are you tired of living?
He was made of jelly
Let's go
Come in
456, a winner Your Yurn
Who are you?
We're your ancestors
Hurry up
Sir
Who are you?
Have your fun another time
Get dressed and come with us
Yes Yes
Who's your officer? I'll promote you
Shut up and get dressed
Yes
Attention
Put his clothes on
If it's money, tell me how much
We don't want money
Just do as we say and you won't be hurt
Otherwise, it's too bad for you
All right
We're going to the munitions dump
You'll ask for the 3,000 rifles
One wrong move and you're dead
This... yes
Commander Liu Open up
We want the new batch of rifles
Once we have them, we'll free you
Remember the money you squeezed
can't be taken to the grave
Yes, yes
Watch your expression, you're an officer
Yes
Commander
Sit down
What can I do for you?
The commander brought transport
Please release the 3,000 rifles
and 280,000 rounds of ammunition
for us to take away
Yes, rifles and ammunition
Let me have them
You must have brought the documents?
What documents?
The Marshal left instructions
that without his special documents
nobody is to touch the rifles
Not even I?
Give the order, I'm in a hurry
You're even here personally
but...
I have my orders
from the Marshal. Please pardon me
Don't you trust me?
Yes, yes Please telephone the Marshal
His verbal instructions
will be just as good
Hurry up and make the call
Yes, sir
Is that the Marshal's office?
Commander Liu wishes to speak to him
The Marshal just left...
for the 3rd Division's northern camp
Yes, yes.
The Marshal went to the 3rd Division
He's not available
That’s just it
He went to receive the troops
and ordered Commander Liu to get the arms
He may have forgotten his instructions
so we didn't bring any documents
You know the Marshal's temper
Can you answer for the delay?
But he did leave instructions
I could lose my head Please forgive me
You insist on documents
You're making it difficult for me
Please order the rifles released
Adjutant, I suggest you make a trip
and fetch the documents
Right, we'll go then
The Marshal might come himself
If that happens
you'll have no excuse
You...
Please look after the Commander
There are some motorcycles outside
May we borrow two?
Of course
They're not very comfortable though
Don't worry, sir
Right
Well?
A hitch, we're going out
Be patient
Come on
Brother Yieh, who'd have thought
We'd be on such a big mission?
Even now I don't believe it
Sir, the 3rd Division has arrived
We'd better fetch the rifles for them
before the 4th Division gets envious
and accuses you of favoritism
All right you'd better go
Chang
Yes, sir
Give the Adjutant General the document
Yes, sir
What is it?
I'm going to fetch the rifles
Please take the other car
There's an officer in the car
Is it Marshal Chin
No, why would he turn back?
We'll take a look anyway
Right
Who is it?
Commander Liu sent us to the Marshal
The Marshal wants to see him too
We're going to fetch the rifles
In that case
You'll need documents
I don't need you to tell me that
You mean...
Damn, he's dead
Where's the document?
Here
That’s whole pile of papers
Which one is the right one?
We'll take them all back
and let them sort it all out
Right, let's go
Why are no rifles being carried out?
How should I know?
What's keeping those two?
I... I hope they return soon
They're back now
The Marshal couldn't come himself
but the document is here.
Look
Right
But the document isn't here?
Impossible
Are you sure?
It's not here
Let's go, sir
What's the matter?
Never mind
Yes... yes. Marshal
How is it
Commander, wait
I've sent a man for the rifles
Yell them to hurry it up
You'll be responsible for any delay
Yes, they arrived for a long time, but...
Don't waste time. Just hurry
Yes, Sir
Commander The marshal just called
I'm sorry. Please pardon me
Not at all, sir
It's a great responsibility
You did the right thing
Please wait awhile
I'll hurry them with the rifles
Go ahead
Right
What's going on?
The Marshal sent someone for the guns
but I sent him to hell instead
The Marshal meant that man was to hurry
but his call saved our day
Don't brag. Your illiteracy
almost got us into trouble
Liu, this is your lucky day
The moment we left here
you'd have been a dead man
You must stick to your word
Hurry up
Quickly
You're great
Take the two trucks back
What Trying to get rid of me?
The real danger still lies ahead
I'm not afraid
I'm going too
You get up front
Hurry
What's keeping the rifles?
They left half an hour ago, sir
Commander Liu came in person
I didn't send commander Liu
I sent my adjutant
But commander Liu came
I haven't seen the adjutant general
Damn
I really haven't seen him
You bunch of idiots
What is it, sir?
Something's wrong
How did Liu know I wanted the rifles?
Send a detachment to check
Yes, sir
Get me the Marshal
Yes, sir
Sir, the adjutant and his men
were all killed
Order a curfew and block the roads
Tell the munitions commander
If anything happens to the rifles
I'll send him to the front
Go back
You're going south
Please let me go
Be patient
How much money do you want?
Just say the word
Shut your mouth
We're not robbers
Chief Hung
You have a plucky daughter
She's a child who knows nothing
Youi KYoui K
They took my rifles
and stole a train for the south
I've ordered them stopped
I want them alive, I'll skin them
Shoot these two first
Yes
I've other plans for you
Ready
Fire
Didn't you want to go, Liu?
Jump We won't follow you
Go on
Look
Quick, get inside
Hurry
Brother Wan, are you all right?
I... I've had it
but my mission isn't finished
Youi K
Don't worry
we'll carry on
The contact man is in South City
He's my close friend. Find him
The Marshal mustn't recover the guns
I know
Brother Wan, what's his name?
He... He...
What to do?
We promised Brother Wan
to deliver the guns
Even if we get to South City
that's the 4th Division Headquarters
We'd only be asking for trouble
We'll continue southwards
Can't you go faster?
No, it's only a small engine
We don't want to burst it
The brakes are gone
We'll have to jump for it
we can disconnect the carriage
Pepper, jump
The driver didn't have time
This is the end
No, we're near South City
Brother Yieh, go backward
and break the rails
We'll camouflage the carriage
Right
There's a pushcart
Let's cover this up
Sir, the train headed south
Commander Liu was shot
Give chase
It's done
Let's go
We'll find Wan's friend in South City
The train can't have flown away
The rails broke here
Where could the train be?
Sir, it seems to me the train might still be ahead
Rubbish The rails broke here
Yes, Sir
Hitch up the line I must talk to the Marshal
The train was derailed
Look nearby, you'll find it
It's all flat ground
There's no sign of the train
Must I come and look myself?
I think this requires your presence
Something strange is going on
You intended the rifles for 3rd Division
The train headed for South City
That’s the 4th Division headquarters
Right You meani K
You mean the 4th Division commander...
I wouldn't dare say that. I think you'd better come, sir
All right
That’s fine, sir
My car Yes, sir
My belly is grumbling. Let's hurry
I can't go any further
Ask Meng Kang to carry you
or send a bridal sedan
I'm not your husband; don't get rough
Stop it
We gave our money to the train men
Do you have any cash on you?
I gave mine away too
But we won't have to starve
Let's go
There might be a curfew
It'll be difficult after dark
Go
Attention
At ease
Officers of the 4th Division
may return to their posts
Yes, sir
Tzu Chun, let's have a talk
Yes, this way
Sit down
That would be impolite
I wouldn't dare ask that
Just don't stab me in the back
Sir, I don't understand what you mean?
The 3,000 rifles were intended
for 3rd Division, but you objected
If you won your battle, who'd blame you?
The Japanese promised me cannons too
But I never objected to anything
Then return the rifles and bullets
The 3rd Division needs them
I'm not that brave, sir
This area is your territory
Could a train grow wings?
Who else had such organization?
Sir
This matter will be cleared up
But then I won't be your match
Take a special detachment
and have all officers of the 4th Division
arrested and placed in custody
Yes, sir
Sir, the enemy troops are near
If all our officers are arrested
what will we do if attacked?
I can fight a war without them
Erh...
Pepper
No
You're well known for your money
You can't be broke
We have to eat
I'm full already
We'll take a look, then
That’s the best we can do
Place your bet
Wait
I think it'll be a two
Who's your officer?
That’s none of your business
Are you playing or not?
If you're afraid, I'll be the banker
Don't make trouble
Isn't that Miss Hung?
You look familiar
You're friends of Miss Hung?
That’s different. Gentlemen...
What Miss Hung?
Customs chief's daughter
Step back, you lot.
I've ordered to take them alive
You must be mistaken
It's a fight
Don't let them get away
They're wanted criminals
Go
Damn it, I lost my pistol
You almost put us in the fire
If you weren't so well known
they wouldn't have noticed us
Marshal Chin works fast
He knows we're the ones
who took his rifles
but he'll never find out
Where they are
Wait
You're really capable
We got news of the rifles
It was no ordinary feat
It was no ordinary people
Are you a friend of Brother Wan?
Who said I wasn't?
Pity he's dead
What a shame
He was a real here
Where are the rifles now?
At...
Take us to see Wan's people
Yes, I made an arrangement with him
We want to join the revolution
Revolution Naturally
After what you've done
you deserve some reward
You might be made officers
and I'll take orders from you
Please come with me
Our group isn't far from here
Why fighting with our own men
Stop
Right, we're on their trail
They won't get away
Put the city on curfew
Yes, sir
Please
You have many men
Brothers
They're the ones who took the rifles
Only they know
where the guns are
What are you up to?
I want to thank you
for making my fortune
Those guns are worth plenty
You're not Brother Wan's people?
I never said I knew him
You just assumed it
Don't move
Who are you?
My name's Yen
He's a notorious bandit
Robbers and bandits meet
We're not robbers
Yell the truth, now
Where are the arms?
You'll get your share
Otherwise, you'll suffer
especially Miss Hung
We've several hundred men
and she'll be helpless as a kitten
But if there's money, we share it
I don't think your men would shoot
The city is full of patrols
Do you want them to come here?
You're right
But even if we don't shoot you
You won't get away
You're smart people
You'll talk sooner or later
All right. I'll talk
Brother Yieh, take Pepper
Let none of them escape
Go on, Pepper
Okay
Run
Gunshots
Let's go
Go
We'll separate. You take Pepper
We'll meet behind the teahouse
Come on
Don't shoot. I have...
Halt Who goes there?
I'm under Capt. Feng's command
Which Captain Feng?
This one
That’s him
Take him to the Marshal
That’s an honor
Marshal Be seated
You've got guts taking away my rifles
Where are they now?
Sir, I did have a pistol in my belt
but your men took it away
You don't talk now
but you will under torture. That would be stupid
Try it I can take plenty
or I could die
Meng Kang, what do you like?
I like to play around a bit
especially with gorillas
Anything else?
Well, I like to gamble also
We'll play a game then
Let him go
Sir, he's dangerous
Let him go
Yes, sir
What shall we play?
Anything you like
But I'll name the stakes
If I win, tell me where the arms are
And if I should win?
I'll let you go
Is that so?
You might not win
Right. Bring dominoes
I'll play the Marshal
We got away
but what happened to Meng Kang?
One game decides
Right, let's play
I'm the guest. I'll open first
All right
Damn it, six
You want to go on?
Why not? You might have a four
Even if it's a five, I win
Four, five
A four No points
I've lost, you may go
You're a man of your word
I've lost, what have I to say?
The Marshal say s to let him go
Sir
We only got one, he wouldn't talk
It's easier of we get all three Ching
Chang Sir
Follow him
Yes, sir
Be quick
Will you have some noodles?
Brother Wan loves my noodles
Don't mind him
We've already been tricked once
I'm Chen Sheng
Where's Brother Wan?
You were with him
He must have mentioned me to you
Don't play tricks
I'm his right hand man
He's dead
Talking won't do you any good
He's dead?
Let me show you something
Don't be smart
No, in my pocket, there's a snapshot
Take it out and you'll understand
I took this with him in Canton
Those rifles...
You're here
What kept you?
I was caught by the Marshal
but he played me a game of dominoes
I had a two, but he was out of luck
He lost so he let me go
Is that true?
I thought it strange too
No, it's a trick
He wants to get all three of you. You must have been followed
You...
This is Chen, Brother Wan's man
You'd better get out
No, there's no way out
Sir
Found them?
The rifles are by the bridge
hidden in a hut
Keep on searching
The Marshal was really smart
He let one go, and got three
Chin didn't keep his word
Shut up. Come on
Coming
Take them alive
Run
After them
Chase
We've got the rifles
I heard the 4th Division officers
were arrested. It's our chance
If we take South City it'll open the way
Right
For these rifles, Brother Wan died a martyr
But the other three, We don't even know their names
Never mind dead or alive, fire
Go
Don't fire, they're wanted alive
If you tell us where the rifles are
You'll be spared and rewarded
Brother Wan's men must have the arms
Yiech Hu
We mustn't be caught alive
I know. Don't worry
Meng Kang, we won't be taken alive
We both agreed
Wherever you go, I go
Not one of them alive
All dead
Charge Attack
