Rookie Agent Rouge
- Episode 5 -
I heard from an old friend who's working in the garrison headquarters,
the heavy artillery regiment are moving in the direction towards Hongkou district.
Is the information reliable?
Yes. The movement of the heavy artillery regiment is top secret.
They take action every night.
Whenever they reach a place, they'll set up a camouflage net and before sunrise,
it will be finished. So, no one finds out about it.
How does your old friend know?
His team had a special mission yesterday
to guard the heavy artillery regiment.
No wonder. Today the heavy artillery regiment
went to the army supplies department to request for a camouflage net.
The heavy artillery regiment which has been all along situated in Nanjing, is an asset of Old Jiang.
Now they are also transferring to Shanghai.
Yanzhi,
the spy game we played on the cruise last time
was really fun.
The next time we have a chance, let's play it again.
Where would we find time for that? The people are so afraid right now.
You have such strong listening skills and memory.
You are so talented. It'll be such a shame if you don't use it for the country.
What is it? You pricked yourself?
-It's okay, I only need to put some medicine on it.-I'll go get it for you!
No, I can go myself.
It's in the living room downstairs, the 2nd drawer of the closet on the left.
I know.
9 Character. (a Mahjong terminology)
Accept. (Pong-a Mahjong terminology)
Let your old friend ask around again where the heavy artillery regiment's destination is.
This is difficult. Heavy artillery regiment's movement is secretive.
The personnel for the guards are different everyday.
The shift changes every two hours.
This sounds more fishy.
I'm afraid... only the highest ranking leader knows this best.
Are you saying it's Nanjing Military Commission?
Brother Zixiong, I heard you have a trump card.
If you take it out,
you can discover any secret!
Winning tile!
Nicely done!
Pay up!
Shadow is my wild card.
But I can only take out the trump card at the most crucial moment.
Old Bai, Hongkou District is under your control.
Take all of your men there.
In the shortest time, they must
know the whereabouts of the heavy artillery regiment.
Okay. Don't worry, Brother Zixiong.
Who's there?
It's me.
Manna!
Please have a seat first. Commander is taking care of some family matters. Please wait a while.
I understand.
What are you doing outside so late?
I... I went to the kitchen. Mother Liu said there was a midnight snack.
If you want to eat it, Mother Liu will send it up to you.
Don't run around outside at night anymore.
Dad! I am at my own home.
How can you call it "running around outside"?
Do you have a secret or something?
Child, what are you saying?
Old Master, Madam. Come have some midnight snacks.
You're getting more rebellious.
Manna, where are you going?
Going back to my room. Didn't you say Mother Liu will take it upstairs for me?
-Take this to the guests.-Yes, Madam.
In the future, if there are no exigent circumstances, we cannot meet at home.
Let's end here today. From now on, have Deputy Liu contact them.
Where did you go? This is filled with sesame paste, it's especially fragrant.
Come and try!
Hurry over! It's going to get cold.
Okay.
Zixiong,
what are you thinking about?
I didn't say this in front of Jialun and Old Bai.
I got news this afternoon.
The Military Commission has decided to come to Shanghai.
They'll be having an urgent military meeting.
All officers from the General Staff Department will be here from Nanjing.
So Shadow is also coming to Shanghai?
After he arrives, he will take the initiative to contact me.
Who is it?
It's me.
Manna, it's so late. Is something wrong?
It's nothing.
I just wanted to come talk with you two.
Come and sit.
Manna, didn't you want to talk with us?
Go ahead.
I know... you studied abroad in Japan before.
You must have many Japanese classmates and friends.
Now, Japan and China are going to war. If...
I'm saying if!
If you meet your old friends and classmates,
what would you do, Dad?
Are you worried
that because of my friends and classmates,
I would forget the meaning of "national cause"?
I won't do that.
If you have no connection with the Japanese, then I'm at ease.
Also...
When I see Uncle Bai and Uncle Jialun,
I feel like those people are weird. Don't you think so, Dad?
Manna, earlier in the living room
did you hear something?
We weren't really talking about anything.
Just the whole situation.
Manna, you are still young. There are some things you don't understand.
I know Japan very well. If this war really breaks out,
China will suffer terribly.
Dad! You just said you will not forget the whole picture!
For the sake of national cause and nationalism,
not just fighting war,
if there were other ways to obtain peace, wouldn't that be better?
Yes, Manna. You'll understand slowly in the future.
You only need to remember, no matter what happens in the future, no matter what we do,
it's all for your good.
Zi Xiong, just tell Manna what we're doing.
She's our biological daughter.
We definitely cannot. Manna is so innocent.
She is full of nationalism right now
If she finds out that we are working for the Japanese
something terrible will occur.
If she keeps watching us, wouldn't this secret eventually...
Isn't Shadow coming over to Shanghai? Let them make some contact.
Girls, once they fall in love, nothing else is important.
[Feng Residence]
What are you doing so early in the morning?
I'm cleaning my ears.
You can do that in the bedroom.
It was just convenient after I used the toilet.
You went to the bathroom for so long.
-How comfortable...-You're using this white paper to clean your ears?
This is the wrapper.
Feng wants to know the final destination of the heavy artillery regiment.
In Nanjing Military Commision, Feng has
a mole working there using the code name: Shadow.
Manna is suspicious towards me. With their eyes on me, I can't leave now.
Not good! Yanzhi might be exposed!
Hang the signal out. Have her stop all actions and avoid contacting us.
Yes!
[20% off papayas.]
If a red flag is hung out, that means all communication must temporarily stop.
You must stop all action and wait for new directions.
♫ Leaves of the sorghum is so tender green.
♫ Japanese soldiers come on September 18
When we mention the Japanese soldiers, you have to act especially angry!
That's right!
We cannot smile! Then, you have to start coughing!
When she coughs to this point,
"This is my daughter."
We escaped to here after Manchuria fell to the Japanese.
"We are hungry." After I get the money, you start singing the next line.
-I can't keep singing!-You can't sing anymore?
You useless thing! Sing!
Sing for me!
You useless thing!
What are you doing? Don't fight!
-Get up, get up!-What is it, Mother Liu?
Mother Liu, we're practicing our play!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Miss, your letter.
The Madam took the stamp.
You can leave.
Oh-oh-oh, who wrote this letter?
Look at her shy expression. It must be her boyfriend.
When can we see him?
You can meet him after he passes my test.
Hey! Then are we not practicing anymore?
What did Shadow say?
The heavy artillery regiment is preparing to attack the Japanese naval command fleet, Izumo.
This news from Shadow just so prompt.
Once Songhu is in the line of fire, the national army will definitely send out her airplanes and naval fleet (Songhu is another name for Shanghai)
to attack aggressively again the Izumo naval fleet.
Izumo naval fleet is the main force of the Japanese Imperial Army. If it's destroyed,
the consequences will be serious.
Zixiong, hurry and send the news to Qingmu.
No rush. There is an another matter.
Shadow says he has someone useful for us.
His information is on this stamp.
Didn't you say that Shadow works alone?
He's just thinking for his own good. If we can drag this person in,
this means that he'll have another helper in the military commission.
If Shadow is in trouble, we can use this card.
It is best to be prepared for the unexpected.
His surname is Zhou. Zhou Yuhao.
What is it?
Strange...
Enough, stop imagining things. Come on.
The heavy artillery regiment is going to bomb the Imperial Army's naval fleet, Izumo.
Chief, is it some important news?
Sigh.
[Japanese] Lightning action.
[Japanese] Lightning action?
[Japanese] Yes.
[Japanese] They are secretly moving the heavy artillery regiment specially from Nanjing
[Japanese] to Shanghai's frontline.
[Japanese] They are intending to use 15mm Howitzers with 32 caliber barrels,
[Japanese] manufactured by German Lai Yin company to attack our
[Japanese] Izumo naval fleet and other naval fleet on the river.
[Japanese] Chief, do we inform our naval fleet to move to
[Japanese] safer waters before it's too late?
[Japanese] No. Once our naval fleet is moved,
[Japanese] the enemy will know that their plan has been exposed.
[Japanese] Based on the news provided by Shadow and Feng Zixiong, we can do a conclusive analysis,
[Japanese] and roughly know the whereabouts of the heavy artillery regiment.
[Japanese] Right here.
[Japanese] Get them to fire first.
[Japanese] We'll treat them with due respect. (Idiom: We'll give them what they give us)
Xu Tao reported that Deputy Liu has met with Watanabe again.
They exchanged walking sticks, just like before.
The enemy has received information on the Thunderbolt Plan.
So the actual target of Thunderbolt Plan is not the Japanese naval fleet,
but the Japanese General Staff Department Region Command?
The military meeting was just a smokescreen.
The goal was to use the news to distract the Japanese attention
and destroy the real target.
Target! Japanese General Staff Headquarters! Fire!

[Japanese] Hello. Connect to Secret Services Branch. [Japan General Staff Department Underground Region Command Center]
[Japanese] Qing Mu Sir, didn't you say that the Chinese Artillery Regiment will target the naval fleet?
[Japanese] Why is our General Staff Department under attack?
[Japanese] I...
[Japanese] the news I got was...
Good! Continue attacking!
This is great, Leader Wan! The foreigners are running away! They aren't attacking back!
Good! The Thunderbolt Plan must finish early.
Leader Wan, this is a wonderful opportunity to attack the Japanese now.
We cannot stop halfway now!
Let our soldiers vent their spleen.
Are you holding back a trick or two?
I have prepared a commando squad. They are hiding right in the front line of the Japanese Region Command.
They can attack directly.
Our goal was to find out who the mole was. This was a trap to start with!
Leader Wan, I promise, it won't affect your plan!
Let the commando squad go in.
This is an extremely rare opportunity!
But the headquarters-!
I will go explain to headquarters!
Okay! I'll give you five more minutes! Stop the cannons after five minutes.
Remember, do not let the enemy air raid our heavy artillery regiment camp.
Yes!
[Japanese] Qing Mu, your false information
[Japanese] has destroyed our Imperial Army Region Command!
[Japanese] We are all dying!
[Japanese] Careful how you talk!
[Japanese] Listen carefully to what I say. I'm Oshima.
[Japanese] I came from the northeast under the orders of the army,
[Japanese] my special operations unit is on the way to the Region Command to assist you.
[Japanese] Qing Mu, I must thank you
[Japanese] for giving me this wonderful opportunity
[Japanese] to display our special operations weapons.
Take cover!
My eyes!
Hello? Hello?!
As the war situation becomes more critical,
at the Nanjing Military Commission,
Shadow's identity couldn't be ascertained.
The leaders of the Chinese Nationalist Party made a final decision.
Shadow still hasn't been discovered.
There are a few suspects that are being checked.
I taught you for so long, but your heart is still too soft.
Those young men in the General Staff Department are the elites groomed by the army.
We can't say for sure when the war will be over. This is the time when we need people the most.
I know which is more important and which is not.
Yes.
Give them an honorable death.
The compensation to family members to be given according to the ones deserving of a martyr.
Yes. I'll arrange the General Staff Department to head to the front line immediately.

Performance evaluation by General Staff Department.
Item. Nighttime Commando Squad Combat Operation.
Time limit is two minutes.
Begin!
From Fengtian city to Shanghai Pass
to Qinhuai River, among the men who have survived,
we are the only ones left.
You have a strong life. It was right to follow you.
Duck!

You're like a cat. You have nine lives.
We cannot influence the state of the war, but as long as I follow you,
my head can be protected until the war is done.
Let's stay alive so that we can go back to eat Chinese sausages back in Fengtian.
Salute!
Report! Bull's eye in all 30 dummy targets.
The bullets hit all the target areas.
Not bad. You have made a good showing for the northeastern people.
Next, we add a harder test.
Liu Si Si, the star of Alice Nightclub.
She's very familiar with military men. You two aren't strangers with her either.
It's not your faults. People must be wild while they're young.
Miss Liu is so pretty, too.
But... she didn't keep to her place and joined the Communist Party.
The Japanese has their mole among us. The Communist Party is here to play a part, too.
The 2nd Division has interrogated for 3 days. She is very stubborn.
She won't say a thing! With the enemy in front of us, the higher ups are losing patience.
I'll let you two carry out the execution.
Our mission is to protect you.
To die in your place.
Can I try and persuade her?
There are still us.
She committed suicide by biting her tongue?
After the execution,
all the young staff officers have gathered to set off to
the banks of Yangtze River to assist in the defense.
The hasty manner of the assignment has caused Zhou Yuhao and Zhou Hanguang to be suspicious.
The higher-ups are pushing them towards the road of death.
The war is now concentrated around the areas of Hongkou, Yangshupu, Zhabei and Baoshan.
The Japanese keep increasing their army numbers. Our army has suffered great losses. If we lose,
we'll retreat to Suzhou Henan'an.
This is the line of defense of Suzhou Henan'an.
Chairman Jiang ordered us to investigate the situation at the line of defense,
and to give suggestions on the reinforcement of this defense line.
I'll get down first. You all continue observing.
To get rid of Shadow, they weren't afraid of sacrificing all the innocents.
The route that was prepared beforehand is pushing them
to the mouths of their own cannons.
Get ready!
Fire the cannons!
There are five cannons. Our own cannons.
Abandon ship!
Run!
My god!
Have the cannon soldiers gone blind?
They can't even differentiate between people now?
Password!
"Clear and sunny skies"
What department are you?
Military Council's General Staff Department.
It's you? I knew it'd be you.
There has been no evidence. We have lost so many brothers.
They can die with you. That's just as good.
