Halt
Commander
How is it?
We're late.
﻿Qingfeng has ﻿been conquered by the Japs
﻿In this operation
﻿they mobilized ﻿a large numbers of Japs
﻿and many ﻿collaborationist Chinese soldiers
﻿Now Qingfeng Village...
﻿Commander, look over there
﻿Commander ﻿do we go forward or not?
﻿Old Qiu, ﻿it seems we are already late
Should we leave?
﻿Leave!
﻿Brothers, leave!
﻿Xiaoyu!
﻿Commander, we can't leave
﻿If we do, what about ﻿the people in Qingfeng?
Let's go
﻿Commander, Commander
﻿Commissar, ﻿quickly talk to the commander
﻿Although the Japs ﻿have already occupied Qingfeng
﻿there must be people alive there
﻿It's too late. Look for yourself
﻿The Japs are slaughtering the remaining people
﻿Xiaoyu, go!
Co﻿mmander, report!
﻿We haven't found ﻿Zhou Weiguo's corpse
﻿Moron!
﻿Search again carefully!
﻿Zhou Weiguo has to be found!
﻿Dead or alive
Understood?
C﻿ommander, report!
﻿A number of ﻿tracks have been found
﻿Map!
C﻿ommander,
﻿I think this group of people
﻿might try to escape ﻿in the direction of Kachin Hill
﻿What? Kachin Hill?
﻿That area is covered ﻿with dense primeval forests
﻿As long as they go to Kachin Hill
﻿it will be very difficult ﻿for us to find them again
﻿Hurry. Immediately inform ﻿all the garrison troops nearby
﻿to go to the hill to block them
﻿Not a single enemy ﻿is permitted to run away
﻿Yes sir!
﻿Bad news, brother
﻿Bad news. The Japs are chasing us
﻿How many people are there?
﻿I can't see clearly. There are dozens
﻿The Japs must ﻿be following our tracks
﻿What can we do, brother?
﻿We can hurry forward on our road ﻿
﻿If they're chasing us by our tracks
﻿how can we outrun them?
﻿Better to return and ﻿fight with the Japs
﻿Buddy, what can we do?
﻿Big Brother, at present ﻿we only have a few people
﻿and a little ammunition
﻿so we can't battle ﻿with the Japs by force
﻿Second-in-command
﻿but... if we keep ﻿getting caught like this
﻿the Japs will reach ﻿us any moment now
﻿ ﻿Right!
﻿This hill is barren. ﻿Let's just risk our lives with them!
﻿How can we fight them?
﻿Big Brother, ﻿it seems we have a way out
﻿Everything is ready
﻿Good. Huzi, Shoutian, can ﻿you see the two summit positions?
﻿Yes, we see them
﻿Crawl up there. ﻿Attack when you see my signal
﻿Big Brother, after the fight
﻿let's rush for ﻿the Japs' provisions and weapons
﻿Keep searching
﻿Ambush! Fire!
﻿Brothers, take the ﻿Japs' weapons and foods. Go!
﻿Don't cry. He won't die
﻿The Japanese can't kill him
﻿But you saw yourself, ﻿the entire village has been razed
﻿Even the regimental ﻿commander despaired
﻿Even if he is dead, ﻿he died for killing Japs
﻿We should be proud of him
﻿But you said he wouldn't die
﻿Right. But don't forget
﻿we are soldiers from ﻿the Eighth Route Army
﻿We must be strong
Hurry!
﻿Commander, report!
﻿Just now on Kachin Hill
﻿we found bodies of ﻿a squad from the 2nd detachment
﻿The entire squad ﻿has been annihilated
﻿What?
Right here
﻿It's on Kachin Hill as expected
﻿Give my orders. ﻿All troops encircle this position
﻿Yes sir!
﻿Hold on
﻿Immediately relocate ﻿a team in civilian clothes
﻿Order them to ﻿disguise themselves as hunters
﻿and search this area
﻿Yes sir!
Strange
﻿Why are the Japs patrolling there?
﻿There must be something wrong
﻿Come on! Let's go back
﻿Cheer up
Sister Chen Yi, it's Old Xu!
Old Xu
﻿Old Xu, you are back!
﻿Xiaoyu!
﻿Are you Brother Liu?
﻿Yes, I am. And you are...
﻿I am Zhou Wen's ﻿college classmate, Chen Yi
﻿Chen Yi!
﻿Nice to meet you
﻿Yes, I remember you. Chen Yi!
Old Xu
﻿What happened, Xiaoyu?
﻿Something bad ﻿happened to Brother Zhou
﻿What happened?
﻿Qingfeng was ﻿conquered by the Japs
﻿All the villagers were killed
﻿Why didn't you save them?
﻿The regimental commander ﻿led a troop to rescue them
﻿But we were too late
There were ﻿several thousands of Japs
﻿tightly jamming Qingfeng
Brother Zhou may be...
﻿Impossible. Absolutely impossible
﻿How could it be possible?
Old Xu!
Secretary Xu
﻿Is the regimental ﻿commander here?
﻿Secretary Xu, the ﻿commander says he is engaged
﻿He doesn't want to see anyone
Secretary Xu. Secretary Xu!
You're here
﻿How is your injury?
It's healed
﻿Have a seat
﻿Let's have a drink
You knew that
﻿Yes, I did
That year, ﻿the bureau delegated me
﻿to apply to the CMA in Nanjing
﻿Later, I was found by the BIS
﻿I was condemned ﻿with the death penalty
I know
﻿Do you know how I got out alive?
Zhou Weiguo rescued you
﻿Right
﻿People only know ﻿Zhou Weiguo is my good friend
﻿but in fact he is my sworn brother
﻿This lad was resourceful
I'd believe ﻿anyone is dead, ﻿but I won't believe he is dead
﻿Old Xu, just be straightforward
﻿I want to borrow some soldiers
﻿Borrow some soldiers?
As long as ﻿Zhou Weiguo can be saved
﻿Qiu Ming I am not afraid ﻿of violating discipline
﻿How many?
﻿I only need Zhao Jie's platoon
﻿I know it well
﻿Okay. Zhao Jie's platoon ﻿is in your charge
﻿Old Xu, do you believe ﻿Zhou Weiguo is still alive?
﻿Big Brother, SIC, ﻿what can we do next?
﻿The Japs are chasing us
﻿It's likely that there are Japs ahead
Where can we go?
﻿The Japs put a lot of ﻿effort into eliminating us
﻿They won't give up ﻿until we are caught
﻿It seems like we are still in danger
﻿We have to go on
﻿Go... go on ahead
﻿But there is no food ﻿or water on Kachin Hill
Can... ﻿can we just walk out?
﻿Big Brother, ﻿after the battle this afternoon
﻿our ammunition supply ﻿can only last 4 to 5 days
﻿Let's charge out
﻿I believe we can definitely get out
﻿Okay, buddy. I believe you
﻿Brothers, do as the SIC orders
﻿Go!
﻿Brothers, from now on, ﻿all of you, including Zhao Jie
﻿must listen to Secretary Xu's orders
﻿Yes sir
﻿Commander, I want to go
Why would you go?
﻿I'm a doctor
﻿Where there is war, ﻿a doctor should be available
﻿That's a doctor's responsibility
﻿Commander, ﻿please approve my request
﻿Bring enough medicine ﻿and bandages
﻿Follow the troops out
﻿Yes sir
﻿Zhao Jie!
Yes!
﻿Protect Doctor Fan
﻿Yes sir
﻿Thanks, Commander
I want to go too
﻿I will not allow you to follow
Why not?
﻿Comply with my orders
Set out
﻿Yes sir
﻿Everybody listen! ﻿Turn right. Run and go!
Old Xu,
how is it?
﻿We've searched ﻿all the hills in this area
﻿Nothing has been found
﻿Map!
﻿Now only this place is left
﻿Kachin Hill
﻿Right. We haven't searched there
﻿But that darned place ﻿is barren and desolate
﻿Birds and beasts are all around
﻿No one dares to go there
﻿He will go where no one dares to go
﻿Let's go. To Kachin Hill
﻿Forward! Let's set off
﻿Stop advancing
What's wrong?
﻿Old Xu, there's enemy ﻿activity over there
﻿Come on, let's go and have a look
﻿Old Xu, there was a severe battle
﻿It happened not long ago
﻿If I am right about it
﻿it is likely that Zhou ﻿Weiguo led a troop to fight here
﻿I think he should be nearby
﻿It's possible
Go! ﻿Keep searching in this direction
﻿Okay. Keep advancing. Go!
﻿Hurry
Hurry up!
﻿Old Xu, look. ﻿There are soldiers over there
﻿Go! Go over there and have a look
﻿Go!
﻿Sir, the Eighth Route ﻿Army is coming
﻿Moron!
﻿I have warned you ﻿so many times. Speak Chinese!
﻿ ﻿Yes sir
Don't be afraid
﻿There seem to ﻿be several dozen men
﻿It looks like the Eighth Route Army
﻿Don't talk. Just follow me
﻿Yes sir
﻿Fellow-villager
﻿Don't be afraid. ﻿We are the Eighth Route Army
﻿We are soldiers who kill the Japs
﻿Fellow-villagers, have you seen
﻿several dozen armed ﻿people in civilian clothes?
﻿This morning ﻿I saw several dozen people
﻿go to that gully over there
﻿Could you show us the way?
Yes
Let's go
﻿Fellow-villagers, how far is it?
﻿Not far away. Just ahead
﻿They were still there this morning
﻿They won't be too far away
﻿Fellow-villagers
﻿No good. We are in danger. Hide!
﻿Hide!
﻿What is going on?
﻿Judging from the gunshot
﻿it might be ﻿the Japs' plain-clothes troops
Are you alright?
Hold on
﻿Huzi, shoot the machine gunner
Yes sir
﻿Huzi, refill the battery!
Yes
Weiguo! Weiguo!
-Huzi, reload! -Yes
Weiguo!
﻿Huzi, Shoutian, go!
﻿Yes sir
﻿Okay!
Weiguo!
Brother, why are you here?
﻿I finally found you
﻿Brother, hurry and retreat ﻿with your injured
﻿There are too many Japs. Hurry!
﻿Alright. Xiaoyu, Zhao Jie
﻿Bring the injured and come with me!
﻿Brothers, follow me and retreat!
Hurry!
﻿Go!
﻿Huzi, Shoutian, cover them!
﻿Get out of here!
﻿Got it!
﻿Brothers, retreat!
﻿Big Brother
We need to defend
﻿The Japs are right behind us
﻿We have to hurry and flee
Weiguo
﻿Now we have injuries, we are unable to flee quickly
﻿How about this?
﻿Give me a machine gun
﻿You leave first, and I will cover you
﻿No! Everyone must retreat together
﻿Hurry up. Everyone go to the river
Go... go to the river?
﻿Listen to the SIC, go to the river!
﻿Hurry. Follow up
﻿SIC, why don't we escape on the road?
﻿Why rush here to ﻿escape on the river?
﻿Only like this can we ﻿get rid of the Japs' wolfhound
﻿You're resourceful. ﻿How come you know everything!
﻿How were you injured?
﻿It's okay. Let's go
﻿Doctor Fan, why are you here?
﻿Why am I here? To bury your corpse
﻿Aren't you good in battle?
﻿You fight here and there
﻿Now the Japs are enraged
﻿Remember Qingfeng
﻿How many people are left?
You're the one ﻿who dragged them into this!
﻿I asked you to join the ERA
﻿Why didn't you join us?
﻿You wouldn't have ﻿dragged the others along ﻿if you had joined the ERA
﻿Hold on
﻿Brother Zhou, you are injured
﻿Quickly, let me have a look at you
﻿How come you say you're ﻿fine? You're bleeding severely
﻿Let me have a look
﻿Brother, you are injured
﻿Commander, what's wrong?
﻿Are you alright, ﻿Second in Command?
﻿Weiguo, have Xiaoyu ﻿quickly bandage you up
﻿Miss, please hurry ﻿and medicate the SIC
﻿Big Brother, give me your hand
﻿Zhou Weiguo, what are you doing?
Doctor Fan, ﻿help me stitch the injury
﻿Brother Zhou, ﻿the anesthetic has run out
﻿Stitch it. Just stitch it up
﻿Please be strong
Hold on
Okay. Okay.
It's done, Brother Zhou
﻿Thank you, Doctor Fan. Thanks
﻿Help me up
-Big Brother. -SIC
﻿Our companions ﻿are too exhausted to walk. ﻿What can we do?
﻿It was I who suggested ﻿we all go to this hill
﻿I will lead everyone out
﻿No one will be left behind!
﻿Commander, report!
﻿We lost track of ﻿our enemies near this area
﻿Have you searched ﻿carefully nearby?
﻿Yes, we have
﻿But we haven't found ﻿any trace of them
﻿Map!
You see
﻿Several days ago
﻿the 2nd detachment ﻿was ambushed in this valley
﻿Our plain-clothes troops
﻿crossed fire ﻿with the enemy on this spot
﻿Now we are here
﻿The enemy broke through ﻿our siege in this direction
﻿Look, there's a mountain pass
﻿It's likely that Zhuo Weiguo ﻿and his men will pass by here
﻿Immediately telegram ﻿for the nearest troops
﻿to hurry over here
﻿Enhance our blockade right here
﻿The remaining troops
﻿must search and ﻿outflank them at top speed
﻿We must encircle ﻿Zhou Weiguo right here
-﻿Listen to my orders -Yes!
﻿Warriors, advance!
﻿Halt. Password!
Cut the Crap! ﻿Commissar Wu has been injured
﻿Commissar Wu. All right
﻿Hurry to inform the Commander
﻿Yes sir
﻿Let go of me. I'm fine
﻿Report!
﻿What's up?
﻿Commander, ﻿Commissar Wu is injured!
Where?
﻿He is already in the village
﻿Old Wu, how is your injury?
﻿Old Qiu
Injured badly?
﻿I was accidentally injured by the Japs
﻿Just a scratch. I'm fine
﻿Why weren't you more cautious?
﻿Old Wu, what happened?
﻿On the way from the military area
﻿I passed by Xiguan Path
﻿Unexpectedly, we ran into the Japs
﻿We traded fire on the spot
﻿They outnumbered us, ﻿so we had a few casualties
﻿What about the other soldiers?
﻿Two soldiers sacrificed. ﻿My bodyguard was injured, too
﻿Old Wu, what did you say?
﻿You met the Japs ﻿on the Xiguan Path?
﻿Right, the Xiguan Path
You think that's strange?
﻿Xiguan Path was ﻿supposed to be desolate
﻿The Japs have ﻿never been to that place
﻿But I came across ﻿so many Japs this time
﻿Is it possible that ﻿Zhou Weiguo is there?
﻿Zhou Weiguo?
﻿After you left, Old Xu came to me
﻿He thought ﻿Zhou Weiguo wasn't dead
﻿so he borrowed ﻿a squad to search for him
﻿He's been away for many days
﻿but not a single report has returned to us
Judging from the fact that
﻿you came across the Japs ﻿on the Xiguan Path
﻿I think the Japs must have a plan
﻿Think about it. ﻿What is next to the Xiguan Path?
﻿You mean Kachin Hill?
﻿Yes. Kachin Hill
﻿Who has been able to make trouble
﻿for the Japs in these ﻿enigmatic woods?
﻿Only Zhou Weiguo ﻿or Old Xu is capable of it
Makes sense
-Dalong. -Yes
Pass on my orders
Immediately convene all scouts
﻿Send them to ﻿the area of Kachin Hill
﻿to find out what ﻿the Japs are marching there for
﻿Yes sir
﻿I'm famished. Our food ﻿has been cut off for 3 days
﻿I'm too tired to walk
﻿﻿Yes. I'm craving meat!
﻿Shoutian, Huzi, ﻿follow me to hunt for food
﻿Brother Zhou, ﻿where do you want to go?
﻿You are not allowed to go anywhere
﻿You can't move right now
﻿for your injury was just stitched up
﻿or it will split again and get infected
It's okay
﻿Zhou Weiguo, do you dare move?
I'm telling you,
no one is allowed to go with him
﻿Don't you realize you're injured?
﻿Let me give your injury a look
﻿Let me check it out!
﻿It really gets worse with infection
﻿Let me collect some ﻿herbal medicine to disinfect you
﻿Wait for me. Don't move!
﻿You two, follow me!
﻿Zhou Weiguo! Don't move
﻿Neither of them can go with you!
﻿Just let me give it a look
﻿Quickly come here
﻿Find this kind of herb
﻿Zhou Weiguo, didn't I ﻿warn you not to do manual labor?
﻿Why don't you care about ﻿your body?
﻿I was fine in the first place
﻿Your injury has not ﻿been cured, don't you know?
﻿Let me take a look at it
﻿There's no need
﻿Let me check it
﻿There is no need
﻿Let me!
﻿SIC, why are ﻿you putting out the fire?
﻿You can't start a fire
﻿The sight of ﻿fish blinds my judgment
S﻿o... what about the fish?
﻿We'll eat them raw
﻿Come on. Eat it. ﻿Everybody have some!
Eat it.
﻿I don't eat raw food
﻿The last bag of ship biscuits
﻿Wrap this around yourself
﻿Have you found him?
﻿Commander, report! ﻿We haven't found Zhou Weiguo
﻿What?
-﻿Keep searching for him! -Yes
﻿So many Japs are on Kachin Hill
﻿I don't believe
﻿they're just going to ﻿offer incense to the gnome
﻿Here is my command
﻿No one is allowed to return
﻿until Zhou Weiguo ﻿and Old Xu are found
﻿ ﻿Yes sir
﻿Big Brother, there's ﻿a cliff ahead. It's a dead end
﻿Brother, what can we do? ﻿Walk past it?
No
﻿If we walk past it
﻿we'll have to trek ﻿for another dozen kilometers
﻿Our physical strength will fail us
﻿We can't walk past it
﻿We have to climb it
How are we going to climb so high?
﻿A rope!
﻿SIC!
﻿Guys, follow him up
﻿Big Brother
﻿After climbing the hill ahead
﻿it is likely we will be able to escape
Great
﻿I am worrying that ﻿the Japs are waiting for us nearby
﻿Guys, listen up
﻿We will make a run for it soon
﻿Eat everything in the pouches
﻿We will set off when ready
What's wrong?
﻿There are Japs ahead
﻿What should we do? ﻿How about going back?
﻿Don't utter a sound. ﻿Just listen to SIC
﻿The Japs haven't spotted us yet
﻿Let's make a run for it ﻿and make a surprise attack
﻿Huzi, give a ﻿machine gun to Shoutian
﻿Crawl ahead to ﻿scout out the situation
﻿Yes sir
﻿Five Japs on the left ﻿with one machine gun
﻿Seven Japs on the right ﻿without machine guns
﻿Brother, please take the ﻿left one down. I will attack the right
﻿You and Shoutian ﻿must snipe the machine gunner
﻿Okay!
﻿After you shoot, we will shoot again
﻿Okay, let's go
Charge!
Weiguo! Weiguo!
Brother
﻿Are you alright?
﻿We're fine
Huz﻿i, do a head count
﻿Yes sir
﻿Not good! ﻿First-in-command is missing!
