Huzi
Second master must be in there
Let’s go
- Dali – Second master – Mr. Zhou
– Second master - Dali
I’m here
It’s Dali, let’s move
Why are you so late
Too hard to breath
Report, officer Chen
Platoon leader Zhou is injured
Don’t worry about him, guys
He is back, right?
He will be OK
He can always survive, god like him
You have no diea
how many Japs were there
I hide myself in the warehouse
Shoot all my bullets out
keep changing my charger
In my estimation
at least dozens of Japs
were killed by me
Dali, you said you were in the safehouse
with door closed
How the hell do you know the number
How? The gun is part of my body
The bullets are my eyes
I can see things
I was thinking
When I’m out
I will detonate the grenade
Die with the Japs
You know how many grenade by my side?
If I did that
I think the whole arsenal will turn to a ground
Just the moment I open the grenade’s safety
I close my eyes
Something came into my mind
You know what was that?
what
“Loyalty to serve the country”
Just at that moment
I heard the grenade exploded somewhere
I heard it twice
God
I really thought
I’m already dead
Then
I heard our platoon leader were yelling
Dali Yang, Dali Yang
Damn, it’s him who hurled the grenades
I put the safety on immediately
- I just - Stop
The patients need to rest, keep quiet
Please let me see him, just a minute
No, you can’t do that
We can’t let you all in
Be quiet
Just one minute, just take a look
All right, all right
Stop, everybody
Platoon leader Zhao, we come in first
You, that’s not gonna happen
Just me,one more
The patient needs to be quiet
Please go back, everyone
Just let me take a look
The patient need to rest, don’t be so noisy
Your leg is bad enough
Don’t make so much noise
Go back and get rest
Mr. Zhou, Zhou
Hush
Doctor, how is he?
Don’t worry
His shoulder is not that bad
Doctor
Why is he still in coma?
He lost too much blood
Vigorous exercise and injoured
He lost too much energy
So he is exhausted
Is he in danger?
Don’t worry, he has a strong body
He should be OK
But as the circumstance
he wouldn’t be awake in a short time
let him get some sleep
Since that
We will be relived
Let’s go out
Let him get some sleep
All right
How is platoon leader
Hush, keep quiet
Platoon leader Zhou need to rest
Zhao, how is him exactly?
Please let us come and take a look
Right, Jie Zhao
We won’t wake him up
Officer Chen, help us
Let us sneak in and have a look
Right, we won’t make any noise
Promise, just take a glance
Just a single glance
I understand you feelings
But your leader need to rest
How about this, we go back for now
And we come to see him later, all right?
Please go back, go back
Go back, fall out
Just take a glance
Go back
You awake
Feeling better?
Much better
Yi Chen
I have been in Mount Hutou for such a long time
I never had a chance to talk with you
How are you
in these years
I’m fine
What about Chu Zhang, he has been nice to you?
Wen
You married for so many years
Did he bullied you?
How do you we were married?
I tried to find you
when I got in the military school
Jing Tian told me
Wen, the truth is, Chu and I we…
Weiguo Weiguo Weiguo
Lie down, lie down
Weiguo, how are you?
How are you
I’m fine, you came to see me together
Any new mission?
Mission you ass
Oh, one just came into my mind
Political commissary and I have thought it twice
Take a squad with you
Three days
I want the Japanese Imperial emperor
It’s all Japs in your head
Always asking for mission the moment
you saw my face
I can only be here because of the mission?
You are my best soldier
Weiguo, you are exhausted
Your mission for now is rest
Get all the rest you need
If I give you any mission
at this moment
What a ruthless regiment commander I will be
Am I right?
Regiment commander, where the hell
did you learn this? It’s too hypocritical
Not at all
Weiguo,
This assaulting Laiyang arsenal
You twelve soldier took a tiny price
but hit the Japs very hard
It’s like you put a knife
right into the Japs’ heart
That’s really an amazing fight indeed
Not only the 3nd companu
The whole independent regiment are proud of you
Weiguo
I want to express my gratitude On behalf of
all the commander in independent regiment
When I am back
in military subarea，I will ask the higher
lever to record your meritorious deeds
Regiment commander, that won’t be necessary
If you really think that
Just buy us a drink, right?
All right, a promise is a a promise
It’s a deal
Regiment commander, one drink won’t be satisfied
8 times or 10 times will be it
Right
You want to drink me out?
Regiment commander
We really kicked their asses this time
That fire
Burned for three day and night
The Japs’ arsenal
Is all gone
Now every time the civilians mention us
It’s like talking about the god
Right
We finally kicked some asses
Weiguo, for now all you need to do is rest
Leave everything behind
Jie Zhao will help with the 4th platoon
When you are fully recovered
We will fight them together
Political commissar is right
Weiguo, I brought you a kid
Who is that
Xiaoyu Fan, come in
Brother Zhou
Brother Zhou, you okay?
You scared me to death
Doctor Fan
I heard you are learning in military subarea
Why you back so soon
I asked regiment Qiu to bring me back
I know you were injured
So I asked Regiment Qiu
So he can bring me here and take care of you
I specifically brought she here
Regiment commander
What
She can take care of you
And put a little girl here with you
twittering like a bird
That will do some good for your recovery
Regiment commander
What, listen to me
You primary mission is get rest
and return to your unit early, understand
All right, I promise
Good
It’s late, I have to go
Lie down and rest
It’s an order
Don’t move
I’m leaving
Yi Chen, come out for a sec
That’s it
Comrade Yi Chen
Weiguo will stay here for his recovery
I will leave him to you two
You can count on me
How is his emotions lately?
Fine, but I can tell he have something in mind
Weiguo had a knot in his heart
Take care of him
You are his classmate
Talk to him
You can do it better than the others
All right, we will go back
Leave it to me
Goodbye
Let’s go
Brother San, I have lots of soldiers outside
What did you do to them
Relax, they aren’t Japs
Are you okay?
Brother San, after so many years
You are still a legend
Are you mocking at me?
Recently, so much officers
came to see you personally
And all the soldiers
are talking about Laiyang arsenal
Now your Brother San are impressed
Seems
I burned the arsenal down
That steal away your business
Since you said that, you need to toast to me
Why is that?
The Japs only got that ammo
First come, first served
All right, first come, first served
What’s your plan after this?
Wandering like this still?
Plan, what kind of plan will I have?
People like me
Can’t always make plan from his own will
The Japs are on our land
I am just thinking
Do what I can do
To kill them more
After kick them out
Then make some plan for myself
Brother San want to kill the Japs?
Of course
Stay in 8th route
Let’s kill them together
8th route?
You 8th Route willing to take me in?
You are the one I admire the most
All right, your brother San admire you
I’m with you
How about this, you rest in here
Let me pack up my things
I’ll find you here in two weeks
All right
Take care
Sister Yi Chen
- Xiaoyu, you’re back – Sister Yi Chen
So thirsty
Sister Yi Chen
You know that?
Brother Zhou are getting better so fast
Really? Good
Sister Yi Chen, I want to share a secret with you
What secret
I really like brother Zhou
I want to take care of him for my sister
For my whole life
Sister Yi Chen
You okay?
Nothing
Xiaoyu, it’s great
Weiguo Zhou will be so happy
to have you
I want brother Zhou to be happy
All right
It’s late, get some rest
Okay, good night
This necklace belongs to my mother
I want you to have it
Wearing it
Like I’m always with you
Bastard
Laiyang arsenal is gone
We have already got the precisely intelligence
Weiguo Zhou is in Village Yang
And so is their arsenal
We have made combat plan
But they sneak attack our arsenal ahead of us
This Weiguo Zhou is too crafty
We failed in guarding Laiyang arsenal
Takeda and kato are responsible for that
Report Sir major general
Takeda and kato are already resort to hara-kiri
What
They are suicide
Takeda and kato
will be taken as soldiers died in field
Captain Yamamoto
Please make a new battle plan to
take down village Yang in Mount Hutou
Yes, sir
On my command
Assemble the troops
Get ready for a fight
We will launch a attack
on village Yang in three days
Annihilate the 8th Route’s arsenal
And catch him alive
Yes ,sir
Guangrong Xu, Weiguo Zhou is your man
He is still not back
How can you call a pull out?
You know what is that?
Chicken out!
What are you staring at?
Not convinced?
Chief of staff, I am not convined
I have followed you so many years
When I fight
I fight like a I had my head on my belt
You know what kind of person I am
Right, what I did maybe wrong
I will report to organization
But if you are saying I was chicken out
I, I can’t live with that
Why is that?
Weiguo Zhou didn’t come back, I was worried too
But the reason I called a pull out
Is because the time we planned is out
Weiguo Zhou didn’t show up
at the time we planned
Shilipu is a big open area
What will we do if the Japs’ armor came
when the sun arise?
I can’t put all the regiment in danger
just for these two people
- You are done? – I’m done
There’s no excuse for that
Because, you are a commander
A commander won’t just leave his soldier behind
Without soldiers, what a commander you will be
My suggestion is remove Guangrong Xu
Let Weiguo Zhou be the commander
Guangrong Xu, let me ask you
Our equipment,
Compare to the Japs’ , what do you think?
Not a same level
- How bad is that?- Way too far
If we have things like them
They are long gone
What about our soldier’s quality
combat skills?
We can’t contest that
Let me ask you one more question
What about our supplies?
Can we set beside the Japs?
No
Think about it
We and the Japs fought so many time
in these years
The Japs and us
who wins more?
If we fight in a hard way
We can’t win them at all
When it comes to guerrilla, we are close
Almost the same
Have you ever thought that
We can’t compare with them
in so many areas
But we can still fight them
Remained so close
First, we have civilians behind us
The other is we remembered comrade Zidong Mao’s
“On Protracted War” in heart
We don’t do it in the hard way
We fight protracted war, guerilla
Right, you still got your brain
Why it’s all gone when it come to yourself?
Ask yourself
Do you believe this operation of
Sneak attack Laiyang arsenal will succeed?
Are you like the other comrade
Just perform the operation by lucky?
You are their commander
It’s time to change your mind
Weiguo Zhou win so much battle using his brain?
That can’t change your mind?
Just thinking about things happened recently
Thin strip of sky victory, Village Lilong
Weiguo Zhou took his men
annihilate Japs twice of them
This time in Laiyang
12 men burned the whole Japs’ arsenal
Can you think about it
Why could he win?
Are those all because of he got lucky?
I agree the most of chief staff Li’s opinion
Guangrong Xu, I will detention you for a week
Weiguo Zhou will temporarily
acting as the 3rd company commander
In your detention
you must correct your attitude
review your mistakes
And remember what
chief of staff Li and I have said
Search deep within
About this company commander’s place
That will depend on your altitude
We will see it when your detention is over
You have any other to say?
No
All right
We can finish here
Comrades, I have a command to announce
As from today, comrade Weiguo Zhou will
be acting as temporally commander of 3rd company
Yes!
Now we will hear from your acting company
Commander, comrade Weiguo Zhou
I have nothing to tell you
Work hard, let’s begin our tainning
Let’s go
Qiu, look who is here
Regiment commander
Yuan liu, what bring you here?
Sit, sit
No time for that
I’m just walking by Mount Hutou
So I specifically to see my old superior
That’s not true
You are here for your younger brother
Right, he is my younger brother
how is that?
Can you stay here for some days this time?
Not possible
Just tonight, I’ll leave tomorrow
- That tight? - Right
Don’t waste your time here, go to village Yang
Weiguo is in village Yang?
All right, commander, commissar, see you
Let’s see you off, let’s go
Wen, this time
I am so happy to see you
Drink with me
There’s a thing
I never mention it
It’s been already a year
since Nanjing was occupied
Let bygones be bygones
I never mentioned Ya Xiao
in front of you
I know it’s hard for you
It’s hard for me too
You and Ya Xiao were engaged since you are young
She was a nice girl
It’s all over now
I am so sorry
When we are pulling out from Nanjing
I came to her, want to send her away
But she insisted to wait you in Nanjing
I’m so stupid, I should send her away
Tied her up if it is necessary
Brother
Don’t be
It’s my fault, I didn’t take good care of her
I know
It’s like a scar in your heart
I tear it today
So you can get better earlier
We are still alive
We have Japs to kill
We have good days waiting for us
Brother Zhou, Brother Liu
I make you some hot dishes
Have some when its still hot
Thank you Xiaoyu
You’re welcome, I will make some noodles
You two take yourself at home
I can tell Xiaoyu have treated you nice
I heard
She is Ya Xiao’s cousin
Open your heart for her
Brother
I can’t
I know
Take your time
If Ya Xiao know this
She will be happy if you get better
All right, leave me here
Think about
my words
What words
Don’t play dumb
I’m not worried about your safety
But you need to think about
the things after the Japs are gone
All right, bye
Take care
From here to here, and then here
Good
Report general
Shousa Fujimoto

Please let me take a detachment
We wil succeed
Good

So we must block them out
Before our reinforce come
On my command
From now on
All the soldiers here including me

Take orders from me, right?
Yi Chen, Xiaoyu Fan, get the villagers to the rear
Yes, sir. Let’s go

If I tell you to move to a safe place
You won’t listen
- Chu Zhang – Yes

If you have to explain to him, do it on the way
Yes, sir
Weiguo Zhou
All assembled, assembled, hurry
Everyone, to the left, to the front
Report, we are all assembled
We will draw our enemy at Mount Temple King
As long as we hold it
No Japs can get in the village
- Understand? – Understand – Set out!
Be careful, hurry, pull out comrades
Sister Yi Chen,

Xiaoyu, where’re you going? Xiaoyu
I need to go to Mount temple King, they need me
Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu
Fire
Pull out
Brothers, move into the positions immediately
Regiment Zhou, how is that?
Regiment Xu, what are you doing here?
How can I not come
You are fighting the Japs here
You leave me watching you
You’d better put a bullet in my head
You need to move these villagers
I don’t care
I’m also a soldier
What about this, give me a gun
I can be a normal soldier
Pull back from your position
Regiment commander, the Japs are here
Brothers, move to your position
Fire
Brothers, pull off your leggings
Find a stone, tie with your grenade
Ready, out!
Japs, come again
Jie Zhao
Yes
Report casualties
Four dead, six badly injured
Sent the casualties back
Grab some ammo from the corpse
Yes, sir
Report officer Fujimoto
The 8th Route only have one company
on the Mount Temple King
We can’t waste our time here
Our priority is
Clear a way to village Yang
Burn down their arsenal
- Don’t give them any chance to breath
– Yes, sir. - Map
There’s a bridge here
If we can’t take Mount temple king
That bridge on river Shagou
Is the only passage
can let our army go in village Yang
Take you men
And take that bridge under control
- No mistaken will be allowed – Yes, sir
Regiment commander, the Japs have sent
lots of men this time, that gonna take some time
look, they are heading the West
they want to envelop us on the other direction
That bridge on river Shagou is in danger
Bridge on river Shagou
Once they get through that bridge
And envelop village Yang
It will be meaningless to hold it here
We can’t let them get through that bridge
But we can’t hold it for now
What can we do?
Burn it
All right, I will do it now
Jie Zhao, you need to stay here
Help me leading the fight
Huzi, Dali
Take a squad and blow the bridge
Yes, sir
Wait, Regiment commander Zhou, let me do it
I built the bridge with my men
a year ago
Look
If you want to blow it up
You must put the bombs at these two position
1st squad on me, let’s go
Weiguo Zhou, What the hell is this?
