Sir, we have finished dressing her wounds
Thanks, please
Yes, sir
Sorry for that
Don’t bother yourself
I won’t tell you anything
I didn’t expect anything from you
But
I really admire you with your courage
And feel glad for my friend
Your friend
Weiguo Zhou
You’re Takeshita Jun
Yes, I am
Can you tell me your relationship with him?
None of your business
Before you shoot
I heard you saying Weiguo
Are you…?
When we were in Berlin, he told me
He has a fiancee at home
May I ask, is that you
Or maybe
Should I call you
Mrs Zhou?
His fiancée died long times ago
What?
Dead?
Just the first day you took Nanjing
She shoot herself
I think
I’ve got an answer
Take care of yourself
If we can see the day war ends
I will send you to Weiguo safe and sound
Regimental commander
I have never thought you can hold it
at this time
We need to get out of here
Huzi
Stop
Stay out of trouble
I don’t get it
What do you say?
I wish I can tell!
You have to give me that today
Or I will shoot you
Yeah, I will let you try. Behave yourself
Still so rampant, huh?
Sit down there
Put your gun down
Renjie Zhang, cool down yourself
Training company, take charge of the security here
No one is coming in here
Yes, sir
Let’s go, move, move
Jie Zhao, what the hell are you doing
Political commissar Zhang
You can review regimental commander Zhou and
Deputy Xu, as the superior said
I got no questions with that
But I am telling you
If this is personal
I will not let you get what you want
You need to understand
You’re making a huge mistake
We have taken over the radio, and
we have caught the new commander of 3rd battalion
All right
What?
How dare you!
What are you doing?
Take him out to rest
Yes, sir
Don’t forget, I’m the political commissar here
You know what are you doing?
You’re making a huge mistake
Jie Zhao
Have you thought about the result?
We know
We have taken over the radio
We will report anything
to the superior
I believe our superior will give you justice
Jie Zhao, you bastard
Did Chu Zhang know about this?
I’m asking you
Did he know it?
Comrade Chu Zhang is dead
What did you say?
Comrade Chu Zhang had drafted
a telegram as an individual
Suggest the superior approve to cancel
this ‘Saving movement’ in Mount Hutou
Cause he knew he will be responsible for
all the risk from that
Platoon leader
Look this
Laiyang government independent regiment Mount
Hutou. Given questions from other bases
during the ‘Saving Movement’
So we decide you should
stop this Saving Movement right now
About the person involved
we should do as the Party Central committee said
about no killing, no capturing
CCP Shandong substation Shandong military region
March, 31
Regimental commander
Our superior gonna give you justice
I got this from Renjie Zhang’s pocket
Look at the end
Our superior made a
emergence telegram the day before yesterday
To stop this saving movement
But Renjie Zhang kept it
Look, there’s another one said
Comrade Renjie Zhang, thing you report yesterday
you must keep it tight, and should stop all kinds
of investigation against Weiguo Zhou immediately
Officers from the substation and Jiangsu special
agency will come and explain it soon
And rectify all the mistakes you would have
in your ‘saving movement’
CCP Shandong substation Shandong military region
Where is Yi Chen
She was caught by the Japs
Do you got the location?
We only know she is in Laiyang
but no specific location
Send some men and find out
Yes, sir
Excuse me
This is my little school-sister, Kobayashi Keiko
Hello, I’m Kobayashi Keiko
Nice to meet you
Takeshita Jun, I suggest
don’t waste your energy on me
You can think the way you want
Keiko will be living with you
as from today
What if I said I don’t want to?
Please take care of each other
Good bye
Thank you
Please take care of me
Report
Regimental commander, chief of staff,
- Special agent is here – Please
Don’t bother, I’m already here

Good
I didn’t see you wrong. Good

staff of the Shandong military region now
Really?
Great!
Weiguo, don’t you say hello to your big bro?
Gig brother
Sit
Here, sit here
Sit, sit
Weiguo, I have a good news for you
Our father isn’t a traitor
What did you say
After we lost Suzhou
In view of our father’s reputation, they asked
him to be the chairman of Suzhou committee
He didn’t refuse them
and became this chairman
After that, he made contact with our underground
And began to support we anti- Japanese
activities a lot
since then
But in order to keep him safe
we have kept this as a secret
only few of us knew it
So many people still think
our father is a big traitor
Weiguo
You must have remembed the words he told
Our glory and dishonor is so small when it
comes to our country’s interests
So I think
You can understand
his feeling when he said this
Weiguo
Superior have known the things about you
I came to rehabilitate you
Regimental commander,
I know they will
According to our investigation
all the crime Renjie Zhan
has put on you
has no evidence to prove that
So, I pronounce
You are innocent
In the mean time, I announced
On behalf of our superior that
Comrade Weiguo Zhou
has been tested and proved to
be an faithful and loyal comrade
Thank superior for trusting me
Comrade Weiguo
You’ve been through a lot
As I was leaving
Political commissar Luo expressly told me
to tell you
if you got anything, just bring it
Regimental commander, I only got one
Let me take my men and kill the Japs
All right
I can give you answer representing organization
Totally approve that
Before I was leaving
Our superior organization have decided
Restate your position as commander of
Independent regiment Mount Hutou immediately
About Renjie Zhang
In view of the unlimited enlarged movements
and using the movement to deal with personal
issues, detained the telegram from superior
about call off this movement
Higher party organization have make decision
Remove his position here and send him
back and accept investigation against him
Thanks higher party organization

Report
How is that? You got anything?
No
We didn’t get the location where
they locked country magistrate Chen
All right, go and have some rest
Yes, sir

She was captured five days ago
during we evacuating the civilians
Master, Miss Tian is here

We have some medicine have withheld
in Shanghai, can you help us with it?
I see, I will let you know tomorrow
- Thank you - You’re welcome.
We’re all doing this for our country
Uncle Zhou, it was so rush last time we met
I have something to tell you
What’s that?
I saw Wen and big brother Yuan Liu
How are they?
They are fine
Wen and Yuan Liu are now in 8th Route
We’ve been in the same mission in Shanghai
Great
Finally I have something from them
Uncle Zhou, take care
Good bye
Miss Tian, take care
You have this special identity, taking so much
responsibility on you, I know
Uncle Zhou, our country will never forget
What you did for her
And we will protect this secret with our lives
If things leaked out
Jing Tian will follow the story of Guang Tian
Story of Guang Tian?
Goodbye Uncle Zhou
Story of Guang Tian
If there is a day
I disappear
What will you do?
I will spend half of my life looking for you
and another half waiting for you
That’s all
Comrade Renjie
When you back in military region
Cooperate with their investigation
Don’t worry, I will
Report
1st detachment of task force are here to escort
under orders from regimental commander Zhou
Thanks for his kindness. That won’t be necessary
Mr. Zhang, let them go
They can take care of you on the way there
I don’t see this necessary
When I am back in military region
even superior give me the hardest punishment
I will reverse my opinion
Report, regimental commander Zhuihui Liu is here
Zhihui is here
Let’s go back
Go
Freeze
Take him
We have moved Yuan Liu to
Shandong military region, and
he was appointed to be the political commissar
of independent regiment in Mount Hutou
So it means
your brother can fight the Japs together
Brother San
I have something to bother you again
Only you can do it
I’m your man
Anything, just name it
Yi Chen is still kept in Laiyang
Find out where she is
Don’t worry
Report
Regimental commander! Bad news
What happened?
News came from Laiyang underground
Japs got Renjie Zhang!
What? They got him captured?
Huzi
Sit down
Renjie Zhang and his guards
were ambushed by the Japs
Guards are all died
See from that wounds
seems to be Takeshita Jun’s task force
Brother San
I need Renjie Zhang’s
location too, please
Yes, sir
One more question
If I find Renjie Zhang
And he was already defected
Should I kill him?
No rush for judgment
Got it
Shuisheng
Take our task force squad 1 and 2
Clean the hidden Japs
around Mount Hutou
Yes, sir
Takeshita Jun
He is getting really serious this time
Chief of staff
Our lost this days
is all due to my negligence
Weiguo, it’s not your fault
You’ve been under a huge mental stress
these days, but I see
you are back again
So I believe
you will defeat Takeshita Jun
Yes, sir
I will and I must
Turn him
Wake him up, I need to question him
How is that?
How does it feel?
Do you want to try some other things?
Little Jap
You think I am afraid of you?
Come on!
All right
Do it
Brigade commander
I have an idea
Good
Get him down
And clean the wounds
Find some clean suit 8th Route for him
Yes, sir
Mr. Zhang
Sorry for the things earlier
Here, have a sit
Don’t bother
Mr. Zhang
I think, there must be
some misunderstand between us
What we had between us is not misunderstood
It is hatred
You and me
We have never met before
Why is hatred between us?
Miyamoto admire you 8th Route political commissar
So I’v prepared some wine here
Pltical commissar Zhang, you’re a hero
So
Why not sit with me?
Yes, I can sit
But it will be never with you
All right, please sit down
Miyamoto, respect your suggestion
I will stand here
Here, please have some wine
Political commissar Zhang
Don’t mind that
I just want to take a photo
with my honorable friend as a remembrance
Japs, you think you can frame me as
a damn traitor with a photo?
You wish that! I am telling you
Sir, you came
Righteousness as ‘Ren’
Hero as ‘Jie’
You really deserve your name
I am Takeshita Jun
My honor to know you,political commissar Zhang
You are Takeshita Jun?
Exactly
How is Weiguo?
Thank for asking
He is more than just fine
What do you mean?
What do I mean? He and his father
are both working for you, aren’t they?
I am not quite understand
What are you talking about
I am now all yours
There’s no necessary to act before me
His father?
Your Suzhou committee’s chairman
Father and son, all traitors
I have spoken to the military police
Captain Mishima promised
He will detain Jixian Zhou right away
I’m afraid it’s not a good idea
Although Jixian Zhou is Weiguo Zhou’s father
and chairman of Suzhou committee
kind of serving us
If we lock him up, It will do no good
to the other surrender people
We also think about that one
If Jixian Zhou is doing his job
for us for real, he will be absolutely fine
But if he is colluding with the anti- Japanese
We will find it out
Brigade commander
I still don’t think using Jirxian Zhou against
Weiguo Zhou is a good idea
I have made my decision
And that’s all, Takeshita Jun
As soon as we find some evidence
Captain Mishima will send him to Laiyang
Then I will leave him for you
Please
What
Any questions?
No
I will arrange that
Good
Takeshita Jun
I want to remind you in person
I know you and Weiguo Zhou
are classmates and friends
But there should be no personal emotions
stand before empire interests
For our imperial Japna
For the honor of our Emperor
The choice we’ve made is nothing but right
Thank you for your teaching
Regimental commander
Look at this
Renjie Zhang has defected!
This damn bastard knew every tiny
little thing about our base
Regimental commander, what now?
Jie Zhao
Change our former defense deployment
Inform every unit, change their station
I want 2nd battalion and mortar company pull
off from village Ligou, and I need everyone stay
covered in the mountain
waiting for the further order
- expect the guards – Yes, sir
And tell the county committee and government
in village Zhaozhuang to pull out to village Yang
So we can protect them
Call all the intelligence men have contacted with
him to fall back
out of the county
It’s good cause the underground in Laiyang
and us are using radio to contact
so Renjie Zhang has never seen them
Send a telegram to our superior and inform this
Yes, sir
- Shuisheng – regimental commander
Inform Dagang Yuan in Taifeng blockade line
Tell him
His identity maybe revealed
If he want, 8th Route will always welcome him
Yes, sir
This Renjie Zhang is really a bitch
We are not sure yet
Don’t jump to the conclusion yet
Regimental commander, what?
It’s quite clear alright?
Have you forgotten what he did to you?
Now there’s a photo of him
drinking with the Japs
And you are still helping him?
I’m helping him, I just thought
It might be a trap
Execute the orders
I
Yes, sir
It sounds reasonable
But
Anyway, we had to be prepared for the worst
Damn, inform the superior
to tell the comrades in Jiangsu
we must sent op.1 out from Suzhou
What op.1?
It’s our father
If Renjie Zhang has defected to the Japs
They will got that information
If they find any connection between
father and the new 4th army
He will be in really danger
Brother, come with me
We got calls back from them
They have inform comrades un Suzhou
And they are calling him at this moment
Time, it’s the thing that matters now
Please tell them, hurry
We got a call back
Comrade in Suzhou
is making contact with op.1 directly
to make a plan out
Brother
Wen, don’t worry
They will send father safely out
Brother
I’m so scared
Wen, don’t be
Relax, our father will get out
Now, we just wait
for the good news
When there’s no way out,
we can see the man really is
and it will last, forever, I am wondering
weather what kind of person they’ll remember me
Master, of course your integrity
Just like
Wumu Yue
I only want to be a loyal person
I don’t care how they will see me
Personal reputation is so insignificant when
compare with the city interests
I have told Wen so many times
I wish he could understand
the meaning
Master, Wen is very smart
He will understand
I know he is smart
So I’m always worried about him
Clever men are more likely to be obsessed
Master, I think
You are simply love him too much
I have been here since you are young
Wen is just the same as you at that age
After kinds of things
He will grow to be a big man
All right, Wu and you see him grow up
Of course you will say that
Master, the ink is ready
They declare a martial law again
Master, I gonna go look around
Master, master!
Some Mr. Mishima came, from the military police
He said he want to see you
Don’t you know he’s never see anybody at night
They are already in here
I, I can’t stop them
Go and tell them
Wait me in the living room for a sec
Master
It’s so late
Why are they here, what do they want?
It’s late, right
But they must have their own reason
I’m Mishima, sorry to ruin
your night
Thatt’s ok, please sit
Mr. Mishima, what can I do for you?
I came tonight
is because there’s something important
I want to ask you
Please
May I ask, do you have a son
Named Wen Zhou?
Yes, but he died long times ago
He was executed by the police
in charge of killing a Japanese nation
Mr. Mishima, why you are asking
Him today?
Chairman Zhou
Your son is not dead
He changed his name to Weiguo Zhou
He’s been in military school and
in Germany for study.Am I right?
Yes, you are right
I have never seen him
Since he was gone
The reason I deny it is because
I was afraid that will ruin your relationship
Please forgive me
Chairman Zhou, you are joking
Our imperial army won’t suspect ayone
But I want to ask you
do you miss your son
very much?
It’s so called Road of different non-phase plan
I do miss him, but what can I do
What if we can arrange
a meeting for you and your son
what will you do?
- Have you seen him? – no
has seen him? But someone have
Who is that?
According to our latest information
Your son, Weiguo Zhou is in Shandong
He is the regimental commander of the 8th Route
There’s an old saying goes'if father want his
son dead, the son will follow the order
Son will always listen to his dad
So we wish you
can go meet you son
and persuade him
to join us
If you do that, we’ll let bygones be bygones
and we will give him a good position
There’re lots of stubborn sons
Chairman Zhou
Publicly, you’re chairman of Suzhou committee
So you should persuade
Weiguo Zhou to join us
It will also shows
You are loyal to our empire
Privately,
If you son can join us
Not only it will bring him fame and fortune
and also can get your family united
enjoy the time together
and serving the Mikado
Isn’t it a fabulous thing?
It will be fantastic!
Since you said it
I do want to see him
But I can’t promise he will listen
Don’t worry about that
I believe you
You will persuade him
Let’s go
Where are we going?
Military policy
I’ll arrange you go north tomorrow
Master
Watch the door
Mr. Mishima, please
Please
Call from the military region
Suzhou is all in state of siege
We have found many unidentified person
Around the op.1’s residence
Mishima, captain of Suzhou military police
has taken some men into op.1’s house
