﻿Commander, ﻿what are the Japs up to?
﻿I don't know, ﻿but they don't come for us.
﻿Let's look for a chance to escape.
﻿Everyone freeze.
﻿Seize these Chinese.
﻿Yes.
﻿What's wrong, Commander?
﻿They've conscripted us.
﻿In my opinion, ﻿if this keeps spreading, then...
Old Li.
﻿Commissar, you are back.
﻿Secretary Chen, you must be tired.
﻿Sir, Third Company ﻿Commander Xu Guangrong
﻿is reporting to the Chief of Staff.
﻿Have a seat.
﻿Did anything happen ﻿in your company?
﻿What's wrong? What happened?
﻿Commissar,
﻿I have something I must report.
﻿Huzi.
﻿Can you see that Jap at 12 o'clock?
﻿Yeah.
﻿We'll sneak up on him later.
﻿He's holding a perfect position.
﻿If we take his gun, we can ﻿run away when chaos breaks out.
﻿Roger.
﻿Let's go.
﻿Freeze. Where are you headed?
﻿Sir, I have to go to the toilet.
﻿Go. Come back quickly.
﻿Halt.
﻿What's up?
﻿Something is wrong.
﻿Freeze. Freeze. Down.
﻿Get down. Don't move.
﻿Guys. Take everything portable.
﻿Search them. ﻿Take all their valuables.
﻿Go. Get up. Quickly ﻿Empty your pockets.
﻿Give me your valuables.
﻿Hurry. Hurry up. You.
﻿Quick. Who has money?
﻿Listen up, we're the ﻿anti-Japanese gang from Qingfeng.
﻿Brigands.
﻿What are you staring at? ﻿Lower your heads.
﻿Round them up. Round them up.
﻿Hurry up. The boss is going ﻿to give you a speech. Hurry up.
﻿Generalissimo Chiang said that
﻿everyone is ﻿obliged to defend our territory
﻿and resist the Japanese.
﻿We're taking your money ﻿as anti-Japanese expenses.
﻿Of course, ﻿we won't take all your money.
﻿Fourth Brother, give everyone
﻿one buck for traveling expenses.
﻿Hey, take it. Take it.
﻿Fourth Brother, ﻿there're two more back there.
﻿You two.
﻿Take them. These are yours.
Commander, look at these.
We've got enough for us both.
﻿I've given you ﻿traveling expenses. Get lost now.
﻿If the Japs ask about me
﻿tell them my real name.
﻿Zhu Ziming from Qingfeng.
﻿Alright, guys, go.
﻿Commander, let's go now, ﻿or the Japs will come back.
﻿These men are intriguing.
﻿What, what did you say?
﻿These men are intriguing.
﻿We're not leaving.
﻿Not leaving?
﻿We'll stay here to fight the Japs.
﻿Here?
﻿Let's go to Qingfeng.
﻿This gang of bandits ﻿is not very strong.
﻿Strong or not, ﻿it depends on the leader. Let's go
﻿I led them out of Yang Village.
﻿Because they are ﻿well-trained soldiers
once left by themselves, any conflict between them and
﻿our soldiers was ﻿the last thing I want to see.
﻿After all, they saved me ﻿and helped us to fight the Japs.
﻿Furthermore,
﻿the two Parties are working ﻿together against the Japanese
﻿I don't want us ﻿to end up as enemies.
﻿I accept any punishment ﻿from the organization.
﻿Take your seat.
﻿You poured out so many ﻿logical arguments.
﻿I'm afraid you won't be ﻿convinced, even if I punish you.
﻿I accept any organizational ﻿sanctions unconditionally.
﻿Secretary Chen. ﻿Give us your opinion.
﻿What Comrade Xiaoyu ﻿has worried about and done
﻿is correct.
﻿But Company ﻿Commander Xu and..
﻿Comrade Chen Yi, ﻿please be forthright.
﻿It is necessary for you two
﻿to be watchful
﻿but the methods you ﻿adopted were somewhat extreme.
﻿If they're genuine ﻿officers of the KMT
﻿we ought to ﻿treat them more politely
﻿and help them out ﻿of their difficulties.
﻿If they came to Tiger Head
﻿they must have ﻿encountered some troubles.
﻿Of course,
﻿if things had met ﻿Xiaoyu's expectations
﻿we would have had them
﻿to fight alongside us ﻿against the Japs on Tiger Head
﻿which would ﻿have been much better.
﻿You are adept at propaganda,
﻿always keeping ﻿the united front in mind.
﻿They've gone, ﻿but because of this incident
﻿the awareness of
﻿the united front must ﻿be taken to heart.
﻿Well, it doesn't mean that
﻿it was incorrect for ﻿Old Li and Xu to stay alert.
﻿However, if every one of us
﻿had a stronger sense ﻿of the united front
﻿this man, Zhou Weiguo, ﻿would join our army.
﻿Right. I must intensify ﻿propaganda about the united front.
﻿Good. I've learned this.
﻿After Old Qiu comes back, ﻿we'll have further discussion about it.
﻿994
﻿Quick, six to go. Carry on
﻿995
﻿Quick. 96, 97
﻿998. 999
﻿Quick, one to go.
﻿Get down
﻿1000
﻿Is it finished?
﻿Take a rest. Then do 1000 more.
﻿Commander, spare me.
﻿I haven't had food for several days.
﻿Me either.
﻿Commander, ﻿why are we squatting here idly?
﻿Wait 'til it gets dark.
﻿What? Go to Qingfeng at night?
﻿What for?
﻿Can't you use your brain?
﻿It's too bad ﻿you're solid but not smart.
﻿Will you go there directly ﻿without a welcoming gift?
﻿A welcoming gift?
﻿Commander
﻿we have been starving ﻿for several days.
﻿Even these two silver dollars
﻿were only thanks to Zhu.
﻿Where could we find a gift?
﻿How can you go directly
﻿to him without a welcoming gift?
﻿How could he take us seriously?
﻿You're right.
﻿If we meet him empty-handed
﻿he won't treat us seriously.
﻿If he gives a spear to each of us
﻿dressing in furs, everyday we just...
﻿but we don't speak like animals.
﻿Kidding, keep kidding.
﻿Do you know when it will rain?
﻿Idiot. 1000 more. Hurry up.
﻿Hurry
﻿I really can't.
﻿Go.
﻿You dope.
﻿Start.
﻿One. Count it yourself.
﻿Count it yourself.
﻿Two.
﻿What two?
﻿One. Go.
﻿One, two.
﻿You win again.
﻿I don't believe it. I bet on Small.
﻿Big or Small?
﻿I bet on Big.
﻿I don't believe it.
﻿I bet on Big, too.
﻿No cheating.
﻿Here we go.
﻿Big, Big. Big again.
﻿Still Small.
﻿Place your wager. Come on.
﻿I don't believe it.
﻿Here we go.
﻿Small.
﻿Remember what I said? I win.
﻿Come on. Once again.
﻿Continue.
﻿Place your bet.
﻿Take it.
﻿Still Small. ﻿Double or nothing. Are you in?
﻿Me too.
﻿Here we go.
﻿Small. Small. Small.
﻿Small.
﻿Big.
﻿It is Small. I win.
﻿Come on. Still Small. ﻿I don't believe it
﻿I bet on Big.
﻿It's not Small this time.
﻿Quickly, quickly, quickly.
﻿Open now. Small. Small.
﻿Stop. What's that noise?
﻿Where have they gone?
﻿Fourth Brother, go check it out.
﻿Okay.
﻿First-in-command, ﻿something happened.
﻿Who are you guys? ﻿How did you sneak in?
﻿Brother Zhu, lower your gun.
﻿All the bullets are here.
﻿Come here, come here.
﻿Brother Zhu, are you calling your buddies?
﻿You're coming here late at night.
﻿May I know your purpose?
﻿Did I offend you two somehow?
﻿Please let me know that before I die.
﻿Brother Zhu, today ﻿we're coming over to your side.
﻿We've displayed our ﻿ability, and that might offend you.
﻿This is my boss.
﻿Buddies.
﻿Today I've gathered all of you here
﻿to inform you of a huge decision.
﻿We have two more ﻿brothers in Qingfeng.
﻿This is Brother Zhou, ﻿and that is Brother Xu.
﻿As of today, ﻿Brother Zhou has become
﻿the second-in-command ﻿of Qingfeng Village.
﻿It seems ﻿you have something to say.
﻿Big Brother, ﻿we have our own opinions.
﻿Out with it.
﻿Big Brother, Zhou is a newcomer.
﻿How can he ﻿be second-in-command?
﻿If you were capable
﻿could you have ﻿been tied up by them?
﻿If you are that able, ﻿I'll give you my seat.
﻿Big Brother.
﻿They raided us.
﻿It did surprise us.
﻿Therefore they succeeded.
﻿We are not convinced.
﻿How about this?
﻿Zhou and I will have a duel.
﻿If he can knock me down, he wins.
If he fails...
﻿Brother Zhou, what do you think?
﻿No problem.
﻿Don't bother my big brother. Let me.
﻿Good. A straightforward man.
﻿I'll give you ﻿a three-strike superiority.
﻿Get off my back. ﻿You four fight me together.
﻿Guys, let's go.
﻿Go.
﻿Is anyone unconvinced still?
﻿Then pay your respects now.
﻿Greetings to ﻿the Second-in-command.
﻿Commander, we're finally home.
﻿Whenever I close my eyes
﻿I think of a green onion pancake roll on Tiger Head Mountain.
﻿You are not the only ﻿one who is missing it.
﻿Me too.
﻿How about this:
﻿we'll have a horse race. See who is
﻿the first to arrive at ﻿regiment headquarters.
﻿Okay.
﻿Good.
﻿Commander, when ﻿did the Japs gain a foothold here?
﻿The Japs have ﻿hammered this snag into our heart.
﻿We'll go check it out.
﻿Hide the horses.
﻿Yes.
﻿Commander. ﻿The Japs set up a sentry here.
﻿If we make a detour, ﻿it will take us two more days.
﻿What did you say? Detour? No way.
﻿Commander, what shall we do?
﻿Dalong.
﻿Can you see the hill opposite?
﻿Yeah.
﻿Go fire two shots.
﻿Did you bring along ﻿Old Xu's firecrackers?
﻿Yeah.
﻿Set them off. ﻿See you at the crossroads.
﻿Yes, Commander.
﻿Commander, ﻿you'll teach the Japs a lesson.
﻿That's why ﻿you're an adviser. Let's go.
﻿Go. Go.
﻿What is it?
﻿This is herbal medicine ﻿for my mother.
﻿Are you sending it to the ERA?
﻿No. This medicine is for my mother.
﻿You're up to no good.
﻿The ERA is coming. Fall in!
﻿Over there.
﻿Commander. I've done my work.
﻿Let's break through.
﻿How can those Japs block our way?
﻿No way.
﻿Go home.
﻿Yeah.
﻿Commander, we ﻿gave the Japs a good blow.
﻿A good blow, right?
﻿Not bad.
﻿This is our regimental ﻿headquarters. Take a look.
﻿Nice place. ﻿It's small, but well-appointed.
﻿Commander, I shall ﻿go back to the Third Company.
﻿Go, go, go.
﻿Greetings, sir.
﻿Old Qiu, you are back.
﻿Yeah, I'm back.
﻿Old Wu, let me introduce you.
﻿This is Comrade Zhang Chu,
﻿the newly appointed staff ﻿officer for our independent regiment.
﻿Zhang Chu.
﻿Old Wu.
﻿Why are you here?
﻿So you know each other?
﻿More than that
﻿we were underground ﻿colleagues in Nanjing.
﻿Sit down and have a chat.
﻿Come on. Sit down.
﻿Have a seat.
﻿Where do you work? ﻿How is everything with you?
﻿When I got to the door ﻿of your bookshop
﻿agents were ﻿escorting you to their car.
﻿I've enjoyed my life ﻿over the past few years.
﻿The KMT afforded my life in jail.
﻿During the second ﻿cooperation of the KMT and the CCP
﻿they released me.
﻿The Party sent me ﻿to study in Yan'an
﻿and appointed me ﻿as staff in Tiger Head.
﻿That's great.
﻿We can work together again.
﻿Yeah.
﻿You must not know that
Chen Yi is also in ﻿our independent regiment.
﻿Chen Yi is here?
﻿I'm coming.
﻿Zhang Chu.
﻿Surprised?
﻿Why are you here?
﻿I was sent here as staff.
﻿Really? That's great.
﻿We can fight shoulder ﻿to shoulder again.
﻿Yeah.
﻿We can work together again.
﻿Zhang Chu.
﻿Fan Xiaoyu.
﻿Why did you come to our Tiger Head?
﻿Why is it "your" Tiger Head?
﻿It's our Tiger Head now.
﻿You know each other?
﻿We got acquainted ﻿when we studied in Yan'an.
﻿So you also know each other?
﻿We're more than acquaintances.
﻿We were classmates in university
﻿when we worked in ﻿the Nanjing underground
﻿we posed as a couple for one year.
﻿Posed as a couple?
﻿No wonder ﻿your relationship is special.
﻿Could this pretend ﻿couple end up a genuine one?
﻿Xiaoyu, you want me ﻿to beat you up?
﻿A long-winded explanation
﻿would be unnecessary ﻿between Sister Chen and I.
﻿Come clean. ﻿Why have you come here?
﻿Are you here ﻿to marry Sister Chen Yi?
﻿You little girl, ﻿talking nonsense again.
﻿Actually I came here to ﻿be Tiger Head's staff officer.
﻿You don't need to ﻿explain so much.
﻿A man should marry a woman.
﻿You don't need to be shy.
﻿Until we drive away the Japs
﻿I won't get married.
﻿Old Wu, during my absence
﻿thanks for presiding ﻿over the regiment.
﻿How have things ﻿been here recently?
﻿Fine. Basically, everything is okay.
﻿I'm afraid not.
﻿The Japs have ﻿set a snag into our heart.
It seems that nothing can be hidden from you.
﻿Old Wu, we will remove ﻿this snag sooner or later.
﻿Better remove it sooner than later.
﻿In my opinion
﻿we'd better call in
﻿the officers of ﻿company level and above
﻿for a meeting tonight.
﻿This time we went to pick ﻿up a group of students in Xuzhou.
﻿Unexpectedly, we came across
﻿a Japanese troop near Tiger Head.
﻿Old Xu had ﻿a stray bullet in his chest.
﻿We couldn't remove the bullet
﻿so we sent him to ﻿a hospital in the city.
﻿Who is this Old Xu ﻿you've mentioned?
﻿He is from the Special ﻿Agent Committee of Jiangsu.
﻿Is his life in danger?
﻿Probably not
﻿I'm guessing he has ﻿almost entirely recuperated by now.
﻿Old Xu brought a man from Xuzhou.
﻿He is Xu's friend.
﻿An excellent fighter.
﻿If it were not for his help, ﻿we wouldn't have come back.
﻿You must be exaggerating.
﻿Was it that serious?
﻿Sure. We had only ten soldiers
﻿but there were ﻿over 70 Japanese soldiers.
﻿Were you that far outnumbered?
﻿Then he truly is a good fighter.
﻿Since you've said so, ﻿I want to meet him.
﻿What's his name? ﻿Where is he now?
﻿He is called Zhou Weiguo.
﻿Now, now he's left Tiger Head.
﻿Sir.
﻿Secretary Chen, Officer Zhang
﻿The Commander has called. you for a meeting at head quarters.
﻿Okay. We'll be right there.
﻿Let's go.
﻿All right. Let's go.
﻿Comrades, ever since ﻿the Lugouqiao Incident last year
﻿the Anti-Japanese War ﻿has been in its second year.
﻿Reckoning from ﻿the Mukden Incident
﻿we have fought ﻿against Japanese imperialism
﻿for seven years now.
﻿We've resisted for so many years.
﻿Now is the time we must ﻿clench our teeth.
﻿I believe we ﻿are sure to pull through it.
﻿I went to headquarters for a meeting.
﻿I brought you a book.
﻿Chairman Mao's book ﻿on Protracted War.
﻿As long as ﻿you understand its content
﻿we can fight the Japs to the end.
﻿Some day we must ﻿drive the Japs out of China.
﻿Comrades, we are in a difficult time.
﻿Now we need to ﻿preserve our effective strength.
﻿However, preservation ﻿can't be our sole aim.
﻿The Chairman always says that
﻿we defend with one hand
﻿and attack with the other hand.
﻿So I'd like to ﻿have you here to discuss
﻿our plans for the next phase.
﻿Commander, you mean ﻿we are going to confront the Japs?
﻿Take a seat.
﻿Comrades, look here.
Here is Qifengkou, ﻿here is Tiger Head.
﻿This is the only access ﻿to Tiger Head in the north.
﻿Now the Japs ﻿have placed a snag here.
﻿Impossible to avoid it.
﻿Commander, let's fight with them.
﻿The Japs drove a snag ﻿into our heart.
﻿It feels bad.
﻿Good point
﻿I called you here to ﻿discuss how to remove this snag.
﻿Attention.
﻿Shoulder arms.
﻿Level arms.
﻿Listen up. Stay focused ﻿when you are firing.
﻿Notch, front sight and ﻿target must be aligned.
﻿Fire.
﻿Kneeling position.
﻿You're squatting. Kneel.
﻿Load.
﻿Aim.
﻿Report. A letter from ﻿our scout down the mountain.
﻿It says that the Eighth Route Army
﻿will assault the Japs in Qifengkou.
﻿What? ﻿They will assault Qifengkou?
﻿If they assault ﻿Qifengkou with limited weapons
﻿can they win?
﻿Never mind.
﻿As long as there's war, ﻿there's profit for us.
﻿Why do you confuse me?
﻿The ERA is ﻿fighting against the Japs
﻿is there any profit for us?
﻿You're not seeing it.
﻿Whenever a war is ﻿triggered, someone can profiteer.
﻿Once a war starts, ﻿we can fish in troubled waters
and make great profits
﻿I got it. Fish in troubled ﻿waters for some war trophies.
﻿We're good at this.
﻿Big Brother, ﻿when will the ERA attack?
﻿In the next one or two days.
﻿Big Brother, in my opinion
﻿we should follow ﻿the regular procedure
﻿and cooperate with ﻿the ERA. What do you think?
﻿No. The Japs outnumber them
﻿I don't think the ERA will win.
﻿We'd better not get ﻿involved in a losing battle.
﻿It sounds like Fifth Brother is right.
﻿We don't join a losing battle.
﻿How about this?
﻿We'll watch from the rear.
﻿If the ERA looks ﻿promising, we'll work with them.
﻿If they can't win, ﻿we'll leave, alright?
﻿Crap. Can people ﻿as cowardly as you
﻿beat the Japs like this?
﻿You're talking nonsense.
﻿How many people do we ﻿have? How many Japs are there?
﻿Can we fight recklessly?
﻿You think we're the regular army?
﻿But we can't pretend to be helpless.
﻿Enough. Enough. Stop arguing.
﻿Brother, tell us
﻿shall we engage ﻿in this battle or not?
﻿Brothers, here is ﻿Tiger Head. Here is Qifengkou.
﻿Qifengkou is ﻿the only access to Tiger Head.
﻿Over 100 Japs ﻿are stationed in Qifengkou.
﻿Right. They have two platoons.
﻿The troop in Tiger Head needs
﻿at least three hours ﻿to conquer Qifengkou.
﻿Once the Japanese ﻿mechanized troops reinforce them
﻿Qifengkou will be ﻿impossible to seize.
﻿Big Brother, you make the decision.
﻿Shall we join or not?
﻿Brother, what is your opinion?
﻿Big Brother, ﻿we should not join the battle.
﻿The battle in Qifengkou is too harsh.
﻿If we join in, ﻿we might get ourselves into trouble.
﻿My idea is ﻿to help the ERA in this battle.
﻿Help them? How?
Is every thing calculated?
﻿Yeah. We have ﻿eight chests of grenades
﻿and 19 chests of bombs.
﻿27 chests total.
﻿Two Type 11 light machine guns
﻿and over 100 rifles.
﻿There are countless bullets.
﻿All of these were ﻿grabbed from the Japs.
﻿You kid have a good memory.
﻿Remember, you can't ﻿waste even a single bullet.
﻿Rest assured.
﻿Brother, how many ﻿armaments shall we take along?
﻿All of them.
﻿What? All of them?
﻿Second-in-command, ﻿you don't know
﻿but these are all Qingfeng has.
﻿Take all of them?
Do you know ﻿how hard we toiled to get these?
﻿What is the use ﻿of taking all of them?
﻿We won't use them.
﻿He's right, Second-in-command.
﻿Our ammunition ﻿can equip about 500 people.
﻿How many people ﻿do we have? Just over 100.
﻿Why bother to ﻿bring along all of them?
﻿That's right.
﻿First-in-command
﻿you can't listen to ﻿Second-in-command this time.
﻿These are all we have.
﻿Yeah.
﻿If anything goes wrong, ﻿all our belongings will be gone.
﻿Yeah. Big Brother, ﻿you should make a decision.
﻿Brother, tell me what shall we do.
﻿Big Brother, you can't make ﻿an omelet without breaking eggs.
﻿You know that.
﻿Okay.
﻿Commander.
﻿Soldiers from the First, ﻿Second and Third Battalion
﻿have been equipped.
﻿The regional platoon is ready, too.
﻿Troops for siege and ﻿for annihilating any reinforcements
﻿are ready.
﻿They await your order.
﻿Okay. Here is my order. ﻿Go to sleep.
﻿Why, Commander?
﻿In this fight, ﻿the key is not ammunition
﻿but physical strength.
﻿Their reinforcements are too close.
﻿If not for keeping them ﻿on the run in the mountains
﻿we wouldn't be able ﻿to take Qifengkou.
﻿Go get some sleep.
﻿Be ready for ﻿a race against the Japs.
﻿Do you understand?
﻿Roger.
﻿Understood.
﻿Third Company Commander.
﻿Your company is ﻿the spearhead of the regiment.
﻿Are you disappointed ﻿that your company
﻿is absent from the main attack?
﻿I am indeed a bit displeased
﻿but you're my superior
﻿so I'll complete ﻿any assignment you give.
Young man.
﻿Tell me
﻿what is the key to the outcome
﻿of our battle in Qifengkou?
﻿It must be the main attack troops.
﻿This is a tough battle.
﻿Right. The main attack ﻿troops are the key.
﻿Therefore, ﻿I chose the Second Company
﻿as strong as your company
﻿to lead the main attack.
﻿Do you know
﻿why I sent your company ﻿to blockade the enemy?
﻿Let's look at the map.
﻿Here is Qifengkou.
﻿These are the ﻿Japanese surrounding strongholds
﻿in the villages of Fang, Xiao, and Li.
﻿We've asked for neighboring troops
﻿to annihilate ﻿the reinforcements for us
﻿in case the Japs ﻿attack us from two sides.
﻿Your main task is to fight
﻿the reinforcements ﻿from Laiyang County.
﻿Reinforcements?
﻿Those in Laiyang County ﻿are the Japanese crack troops.
﻿Our dependent regiment's strength
﻿is not strong enough ﻿to fight the Japs recklessly.
﻿The Qingfengkou battle rests on
﻿whether or not ﻿your company can stop
﻿the Japanese troops from ﻿Laiyang County for three hours.
﻿This time you should outwit them
﻿but not risk your soldiers' lives.
﻿Half an hour is the longest ﻿your company can hold off them
﻿but I need three hours.
﻿Can you do it?
﻿Good. I'll appoint ﻿Zhang Chu to support you.
﻿We count on you in this battle.
﻿Yes, sir.
﻿Go rest.
﻿Yes, sir.
﻿Big Brother.
﻿Pal.
﻿Big Brother.
﻿Following your instructions
﻿our preparation is almost complete.
﻿Take a look. ﻿What else should we take?
﻿Big Brother, do we have
﻿any brother ﻿who has been a mason?
﻿A mason? We do. He is.
﻿What can I do for you, ﻿Second-in-command?
﻿Go find several brothers ﻿who have been masons.
﻿You guys wheel cement ﻿in two carts, following the troops.
﻿Big Brother, well...
﻿Do what the ﻿Second-in-command has told you.
﻿Yes. I'll go do it now.
﻿Big Brother.
﻿There is another message ﻿from our scouts down the hill.
﻿What does it say?
﻿The message reads. ﻿The ERA isn't maneuvering.
﻿Is the ERA waging battle or not?
﻿Is your information ﻿authentic or false?
﻿First-in-command, ﻿it is absolutely authentic.
﻿The ERA is surely waging battle.
﻿It is abnormal, though.
﻿They drilled and ﻿massed their troops days ago
﻿but they ﻿haven't maneuvered 'til now.
﻿They're just sleeping.
﻿Then what can we ﻿do now? Should we sleep too?
﻿I'm afraid that we can't sleep.
﻿Follow my original plan.
﻿Fine.
﻿No one can understand
﻿what the ﻿Second-in-command has in mind.
﻿Are we going ﻿to battle or build a house?
﻿We're marching along ﻿with two carts of cement.
﻿Mr. Zhao, do you know
﻿what the ﻿Second-in-command has in mind?
﻿Get lost. ﻿Go mind your own business.
Go. Go. Go on.
﻿Big Brother, it's right here.
﻿We must hurry and get ready.
﻿Okay. We'll go get ready.
﻿Second-in-command, ﻿tell us how we should prepare.
﻿Daybreak will come ﻿five hours from now.
﻿We must dig out every block of rock
﻿in this valley
﻿leaving no shelter for our enemies.
﻿Can you see those ﻿two blocks of rock, Big Brother?
﻿Yeah.
﻿Big Brother, go up there.
﻿Dig as deep as ﻿possible beneath the rocks.
﻿Bury explosives ﻿and lay an ambush there.
﻿Until you see ﻿the Japs use up their bullets
﻿fight them hand-to-hand.
﻿In addition, find ﻿four marksmen among the troops
﻿to wipe out Japs' machine gunners.
﻿Pal, you should lay out for us
﻿why you chose this place.
﻿What is this place closest to?
﻿Laiyang County
﻿but much too far ﻿away from Qifengkou.
﻿Right. The ERA ﻿will fight in Qifengkou.
﻿This is nearest to the ﻿Japanese headquarters in Laiyang.
﻿Once something goes ﻿wrong in Qifengkou
﻿the Japs will have ﻿to send reinforcements there.
﻿We hide here and ﻿spring a surprise attack on them.
﻿Good. What you say makes sense.
﻿Good, pal.
﻿Those brothers are inferior ﻿to you in fighting against the Japs.
﻿You're the commander
﻿Okay. Let's hurry up ﻿and get prepared.
﻿Yes, sir.
﻿Shoutian. You follow me.
﻿We have something ﻿else to do after daybreak.
﻿Just a moment.
﻿You have everything prepared here.
﻿How can you be sure that
﻿the Japs will definitely ﻿pass this way?
﻿If they don't come through here
﻿then our labor will be in vain.
﻿That's right.
﻿Believe me.
﻿Okay.
﻿Follow ﻿Second-in-command's orders.
﻿To work.
﻿Let's go.
﻿Huzi. Bring some men ﻿to lay landmines.
﻿Let's go.
﻿Whoever was ﻿once a mason, follow me.
﻿Let's go.
﻿Be careful.
﻿Mr. Xu, we've been ﻿digging here for quite a long time
﻿and not laid a single mine. ﻿What for?
﻿Man, have you ﻿ever attended school?
﻿Nope.
﻿I'll tell you. There is a saying:
"﻿All warfare is based ﻿on deception." Understand?
﻿No.
﻿If you don't understand
﻿go ask the ﻿Second-in-command to teach you.
﻿Hand that genuine landmine to me.
﻿I'll give you a sack of mines.
﻿Where are you going?
﻿My stomach aches. ﻿I have to take a dump.
﻿Don't leave. ﻿There's a hole right here.
﻿I'm telling you
﻿after you finish ﻿your business, put it into the hole
﻿and then plunge it there.
﻿Quickly. Quickly. Be quick.
﻿Be quick. Give it to me.
﻿Big Brother. I've set it.
﻿It's done.
﻿Fugui, blow it up.
﻿It's done.
﻿Okay. You go ﻿over there to blow it up.
﻿Hurry up. Be quick.
﻿Big Brother. ﻿We've been busy for hours.
﻿If the Japs don't come, ﻿is everything in vain?
﻿Right. Big Brother, look around.
﻿How can the Japs ﻿pass through this place?
﻿Take a look at here. ﻿There are high hills on both sides
﻿and only one pass.
﻿Everyone will know ﻿there's an ambush here.
﻿Would the Japs be that stupid?
﻿I think the ﻿Second-in-command a capable fighter.
﻿Maybe he's able to ﻿lead the Japs here.
﻿This is hard to say.
﻿What are you muttering?
﻿Keep an eye on them. Hurry up.
