Go to the trench
Let’s go. That way. Easy
Damn
It have been 3 days
And Nanjing is still there
We lost lots of men
How can I report to our Emperor
if we can’t take down Nanjing
Commander
The weakest guard post of Nanjing
Is Guanghuamen and Mount Xixia
I suggest how about
we assemble our troops
and take these two positions
All right, on my command
The 3rd Regiment vanguard and
The 6th Regiment, pull out from their front
and take Guanghuamen together
The 16 regiment, heading for Mount Xixia
-And assault there – Yes, sir
Commander,sir, I have an idea
Say it
The city wall of Nanjing is 20m height,
and 13m wide, our mountain gun can’t break it
but even the strongest barrier can be broke
from the inside
you mean we go inside and outside
Right. We don’t have man inside
But we can send a team
and sneaked in
Seem that you’ve already
got a plan?
Commander
I used to learn a kind of special fight
in Germany Military School
please allow me get a special operation team
sneak in Nanjing, and take the city wall
Win some time for us
How can you go in there?
I have lived in Nanjing for a while
I know the city have lots of sewer underground
We can make it wider in the night
I think it’s entirely possible
to make it a channel
And let a team with a few dozen men in
How many percent?
At least eight
All right,I will leave this to Mr. Takeshita
You take men through Guanghuamen
If you can go inside
Coordinate with Mr.Yingsen
This fight means a lot
It you can take this,
I will speak for you before the Emperor
Yes, sir
Report major, according to your order
I have picked out a team
And waiting for your command
- Set off now – Yes, sir
What’s that?
News from the Regiment,we're not that optimistic
We’re OK here
Our other troops had lots men down
Suppose we don’t have reinforcement
But the Japs are keep coming
Let them come, I don’t believe that
We 100 thousand national army can’t protect Nanjing
Shengli, miss home?
Yes, I miss my mother
I’m afraid if I die here
She will be alone
Any others?
Your parents didn’t
find a wife or whatever?
Since I join the army
They give it up, afraid of me dying there
They’re afraid.
But do you have someone in mind?
Yes
Who is she?
She is working in the hospital
Hospital? Nice Do you miss her?
- Yes. – let’s done this and go back
Shengli , I miss them too
My family, my classmates
And most important, my Ya Xiao
Those closest to us
Are in the land behind us
We keep it safe
So I can go back and marry Ya Xiao
You can go back to your girl
So we must hold it
Commander
When are you gonna launch an attack
We’ll wait for Mr. Takeshita’s signal
Commander
Do you really think
Mr. Takeshita can succeed?
What do you think?
Commander sir
I think
Just a student graduated from military school
Got no experience
Just bluffing in front of the officers
No, based on my knowledge
- You underestimated him – Yes,sir
Snipers!
Take the high ground on the west
Take the high ground on the east
Others, get ready to fight, go
Who is there?
