What a massive traffic jam

Merry your mother christmas

"Kill the Tiger in the Mountain"

1946

1 year after the Japanese surrendered

China fell into a full-scale civil war

In the Northeast

bandits rampaged everywhere after the war

They killed, looted and expanded fast

Common people suffered in fear and danger

That winter

a PLA troop captain, code-named 203

led a squad to suppress bandits

at Peony River

awaiting orders from headquarters (HQ)

It's end of the year

winds were roaring, paths were cut off

After all kinds of hardships

the squad returned to their homeland

the snowfield forest

Mealtime

Mealtime

So watery?

That's all we have

Captain

Enroute to here

the villagers killed by the bandits

numbered to...

Say it

At Nan Hill: 250

Gupai Village: 90

- Yangjia Creek: 120 - Tell me the total number

Write a report on the details

Total number: 603

And

we bypassed Guying Village without entering

Not sure about its situation

Reporting to 203

Enemies at the machine storehouse

Let's go

100 metres to the west

A dozen men outside the storehouse

wearing our military uniforms

But they don't look like our men

Not sure about the condition inside

Sir

smell of barbecued meat

A big load

enough for more than dozen people

Report on the bullets

Qu has 52

Tank and Brick have 120

Baojun and Iron Pillar each has 6

It's from Tank

They've discovered us

Those out there

don't fool around

Don't you bump into somebody

and not knowing it's your bro

We're from the Tiger Mountain

Hail a name

From which gang?

How many of you?

So you're Lord Hawk's gang

He's a bandit under Hawk

This land is taken by Hawk now

Damn it

Scared me

Stop pretending

No bullshit, you're alone?

What's your name?

Surnamed Wang

What do you do?

I've found lots of goodies

Sirs, come take a look

Which gang are you from?

| don't belong to any

| am just a hunter

Hunter

What have you hunted?

Right... what have you got?

A lot of goodies

| can't carry them all alone

That many?

Sirs, if you like, be my guest

He is not alone

The grenades collided!

Tank

They have tanks

Stop throwing grenades, split

Baojun

Shit, two fled

Son of a gun

They're in our uniforms

easily mistaken as our men by the villagers

must've been bought by our opponents

to smear our name

Before arriving at Peony River

we've entered Hawk's territory

They've thousands of men

- Way outnumber us - Reporting to 203

We've seized loads of bandit ammunition

- ls everyone OK? - OK

Is this edible?

What delicacy?

Barbecued rat

Tank

Not bad

50 boxes in total

14000 bullets, 500 grenades

Really? Excellent

Hong

How much food is left?

None

Tonight we've nothing to cook

Attention please

We will soon arrive at Harbin West Station

If you are to disembark here

please get ready

The next station is Harbin West Station

If you are to disembark here

please get ready

- Hello - Hi

Jimmy

| heard you're back home

| need something from there

Why not use courier?

You'll be fired by your company

No, I've notified them

Are you home for your girlfriend?

No

Tank

203, Train coming

203, HQ's signal

Our people

Where are you from?

Stonegate Village

There's one more

Yang

This is Comrade Yang

We were comrades in arms before

Yang, this is Captain 203

Reporting to 203

Yang, scout of Political Division

Hejiang Military District

reporting for duty as ordered

The snowstorm was too heavy

we resorted to a locomotive

Transfer order

This is field hospital nurse

Comrade Bai

Bai reports to the Captain

Telegraph HQ to verify

Yes

I've also brought food for you

- Food? - There

Bravo!

Open the gate

Here comes Lord Hawk

Lower the palanquin

Without my order

how dare you go downhill?

37 of you went out

and only you 2 dogs returned

We were ambushed by the PLA

And they had tanks

They had tanks

Lord Hawk

Lord Hawk

| smell something funny

One word

Not honest

Lord Hawk, those are two words

Shut up

Big brother

Take a few men downhill

in the next 2 days to see if there's any PLA

Yes, Lord Hawk

As for you two

Go peck them!

Bro 7

how can one become Lord Hawk?

You can't

Above all the bandits in the world

The Hawk is unparalleled

Comrade Bai

Ever shot a gun before?

What do you mean, a match?

No, just asking

Why's your frostbite bandaged like this?

- Who did it? - 203

Our feet were all bandaged by him

This Yang doesn't behave like a scout

So sloppy

How can he fight playing like this?

Reporting to 203

HQ has replied

Saying what?

Yang knows NE well, has detection experience

Bai, the nurse

has been trained in battlefield rescue

Now the NE is grim and complicated

The two are sent to help

If any problems

solve them yourself

Yang

Sing one more

What is it?

- Saw anything? - No

I've got you, get out!

- A child - A child?

From the village?

Bring him back

Wound is inflamed

- It's so serious - Gunshot

- Anaesthetic? - Serious shortage

No

Little brother, be strong

Don't struggle

Hold on

It's almost done, hold on

It's wrapped, let him go

Eat something

- Tank - Tank

What are you doing?

He will freeze if he runs out

This boy takes us as bandits

Lord Hawk grabbed this secret arsenal

from the Japanese

Nobody knows how much

ammunition the Tiger Fortress has

| tell you, Commissioner Hou

They have 3000 guns

10 mortars

10 heavy machine guns

50 light machine guns

Lord Hawk

KMT and the PLA are fighting

KMT wants to incorporate us

We have opened a rewarding can of worms

Our Bro 3 has fought PLA with the Japs

Among all the bandits in the 9 mountains

only he knows how to operate

this iron tortoise

Commissioner Hou, with this thing

is the other ringleader, Big Stick

even qualified to be no. 1?

Commissioner Hou

you represent the government to bestow

the Commander of the NE advance troop

| can say

other than Lord Hawk

nobody dares to take the position

Let's be frank

If your gang submits to us

your respectable Hawk

will surely be the Commander of the advance troop

As for the advance map

| will of course offer to him

Well said

Lord Hawk, you will be the Commander

That depends on whether Hou

wants to give us the advance map

What map?

Advance map

One word

Getting the map hinges on if our force is strong enough

Hawk

seems to have a powerful army

But not candidate for the advance map

Commissioner Hou, what do you mean?

The Hawk is bent on

becoming the biggest warlord in NE

If he gets the map

he'll be a major concern

So the Commissioner means...

The advance map

should be given to Big Stick

Smart boy

Let the 2 gangs fight each other

We'll sit for the harvest

Yesterday we ambushed the Tiger gang

Hawk must be infuriated

If a large contingent of troops comes

villagers will be hurt once fighting breaks out

The next stop is Leather Creek

Before the bandits come downhill

we must settle the villagers

Hongyi and Tank are locals

They will enter Leather Creek

as village people and check out the situation

Bring Yang

and also... that...

- that... - Lil’ Dove

Lil’ Dove?

We all call her that

Comrade Bai

They don't look like soldiers

If they go, it's easier to hide our identity

Stop knocking

Nobody inside

No food, just my life

Take it if you can

Nothing left

Give them anything

Mother

Mother

Auntie

Fellow villager

Don't be afraid

we are not bandits

Yongqi, It's me

Tank and | are back

- Hongyi - Yonggi

Tank

give me a hand

help the old lady lie down

- Mother - Let me see

She is a health officer

same as a doctor

The lass is a doctor

Yonggi

What happened to my aunt?

It's my fault

Couldn't find food for her

Come

Auntie

Yonggi

What happened in Leather Creek?

What happened?

After the Japs surrendered

the bandits kept coming to loot our village

We fought them

with fewer and fewer men

They took all our food

How can we go on?

Your brother and sister-in-law

and Tank's family

were also...

My boy

In the village

there are bandit spies

Who?

Couldn't find out

Reporting to 203

at your order, our men

are in villager clothes

to disguise our identity

Reporting to HQ

our troop stations at Leather Creek

203

the bandits are coming

Gao

Notify all troopers: urgent assembly

Leather Creek's condition is unclear

We should hide ourselves

Protect the villagers secretly

Don't let the enemy discover us

Yes

Big brother, no signs of anything

No tank tracks either

- Our spies? - Yes, in the village

Tell them to report on any activity

Go back

Yes

North of the logging area are two huts

The slope behind the Creek

is susceptible to bandit attack

They are numerous

We need a defense line to fight against them

Ever heard of the indigenous cannons

made by the armored troop?

The Flying Thunder? | know

Put gunpowder in gasoline barrels

It's particularly powerful

Chaojia, you take Baojun and some soldiers

to look for gasoline barrels

Install them at village crucial points

Remember, this is our heavy weapon

Get ready for a fight

Yes

This is good stuff

Hard for me to find

Can't eat with hands tied?

| can untie you, but

don't hit people again

- He fled - Come back

Shut up

You hear me? Shut up

Freeze or I'll shoot you

Shut up

Lord Hawk sends you to monitor the PLA here

- There is no PLA - That's right

He even asks me to look for tanks

Aide Luan

You left with Commissioner Hou

Why returned to see Lord Hawk?

| have a map

Advance map

Commissioner asked me to give it to Big Stick

To do so, I'm just a messenger

No gain

If | give it to Lord Hawk

Not only will | get money

but also a high position in the gang

- Agree? - Yes

Brat, how dare you bit me?

I'll roast you

Regiment 2, Detachment 2, PLA Private

Gao

Tell me

Why are the PLA here?

How many of you?

Brat

So tight-lipped

All right, you'll need some sweetener

Speak

No word and this leg will break

These are ribs, very soft

One stroke will break several

Don't shoot, we can talk

Rest assured

For what you heard in the hut

I've reported to 203

| am tying up the splint

- Lil’ Dove - Be brave, act like a soldier

How do you feel?

- 203 - Don't move

Lie down

Reporting to 203

Ready to fight anytime

You eat, | eat

All right

You two each have a half

Tell me, what is your name?

Where is your home?

Knotti

It's OK

Knotti's surname is Jiang

He lived at Shalan Village

Half a year ago, his father was killed by bandits

his mother Qinglian went missing

Knotti drifted about alone, looking for relatives

He bore lots of hardships

His mother must've been abducted by the bandits

| hope she's still alive

so they could reunite

It's sorghum, the house is full of it

So much food

Hongyi, now our village

has food for the winter

Hoarding so much food and ammunition

this must be the bandits’

connecting point in Leather Creek

| cannot see through Yang

What is he doing here?

HQ must've sent him here for a reason

203

Let's wait and see

Sir

| just scalp tobacco for food

A mere trifle

For a trifle you beat people up like that?

You goddamn lie

| thought he's a thief

Ever heard of advance map?

No

Gao said

this guy wants to sell the advance map to Hawk

We must find the map

203

He will confess if beaten

- This is for Gao - Don't be impetuous

We need intelligence from him

Let me try

Aide Luan

You betrayed Commissioner Hou

He sent you to deliver something to Big Stick

and you turn to Hawk

Two gangs and Commissioner Hou all in your pocket

Would Big Stick be cheated by a bastard like you?

Listen

he also conned KMT and PLA

Big Stick joined PLA?

You are confusing me

You fox can fool no one

Listen, he has words for you

You got the map but you're going nowhere

Hawk can't get it either

He also ordered

a grave for you at Leather Creek

Brother

your name?

Call me

Hu

This Yang, what is he?

He's Yang from Shandong

Mr Hu

I'm Luan

Cut the crap

I've conveyed the message

Now I'll send you to hell

Wait, Mr Hu

do me a favor, please tell Lord Big Stick

the map is now with me

| always have it

| won't go to Hawk

It's a misunderstanding

It's such a big favor, can | not do it?

I'll spare your life now

Let's wait and see

Advance map

Report to HQ now

- Yes - Go

Wait

Have one more scoop

Fellow villagers

Leather Creek wasn't afraid of the Japs, why would it fear bandits?

As long as we raise our guns

the bandits dare not come

There's no way to fight them

Whichever village fought the bandits

it would be wiped out

We can't fight the bandits

Why not?

Village chief

the hard-earned harvest cannot be

surrendered to the bandits for nothing

Mr soldier, after you leave

Leather Creek will again suffer a calamity

Hide those things right away

| beg you

I'll kneel before you

Spare our lives

We can't fight the bandits

Give me a gun

Give me a gun

- Give me a gun - Kiddy

- you are shorter than the gun - Give me gun

- Stop shouting - Give it to me

Give me gun, I'll avenge

- my dad's death on the bandits - Let go

Revenge is an adult business

You are still a kid

You just stay quietly at home

| have no home

You have a home

All of us are your family

So when we go fight the bandits

you take care of the home

We surely will

find your mom for you

Report, HQ knows about the advance map

The advance map shows the distribution of

over 10000 advance soldiers in the NE

203, this is the reply

Advance troops were the armed forces hiding

in the mountains during the war against Japan

The Japs drew 3 military maps

based on intelligence

The Japs deployed troops

in a futile attempt to control them

After the Japs surrendered

the forces remain in the mountains

Each goes its own way

Whoever gets the 3 maps now

can summon the advance troops

and become the king of NE

The first one is a coordinate map

The 9 mountains, 18 mounds

13 gangs

outposts, contact points and coordinates

are all set out on this map

This coordinate map

is in the hands of our Lord Hawk

The second one is an ammunition map

When warlord Zhang was the king of NE

deep in the mountains and forests

he built two arsenals

storing over 10000 guns

hundreds of cannons and countless ammunition

One of these two arsenals

is at Tiger Mountain

It was later taken by the Japs

And now in the hands of Hawk

Who could've thought there's an arsenal

What is the third map?

This third map is Warlord Zhang's...

Warlord Zhang's treasure map

- Lord Hawk - Lord Hawk

Legend has it that there're 80000 catties of gold

80000 catties, 40 tons?

Brothers

with the 80000 catties of gold

we can buy as much ammunition as we like

from the Japs and the Russians

We can command Peony River

seize the NE

Next stop

one word

get the gold map

Luan surely doesn't know

the value of this map

Otherwise he'd not give it to Hawk

This will cause a fierce bandit battle

| fear the villagers around

will suffer another disaster

Strike fast

Annihilate Hawk

then eliminate Big Stick

How to fight? Tiger Mountain has over 1000 men

The war is raging

Our main forces are short of men

They can't support us

| have an idea

Bandits can impersonate us

We can also send a man to impersonate them

and infiltrate their hideout

Once he finds the spot with least firepower

that will be our breakthrough point

When it's time, we'll coordinate from within

and wipe out Hawk in one blow

How do you gain the bandits’ trust?

As an enemy intelligence scout

| was assigned as undercover in Big Stick's gang for a year

| studied them thoroughly

203

| want to take up this mission

Captain

Rejected

Then what is your plan?

One way: mobilize the villagers

to flee as far as they can

Another way: arm the villagers

and wait for reinforcement

Both are too passive

Moreover, time is running out

The mountains will soon be snowed under

203, please consider my plan

You need to obey order here

All right

Then | resign

Yang

| Knew you'd do this

OK

it's up to you

Disobey orders

Act without permission and no discipline

You've approved my resignation

Now | ain't under you

| Know you're used to acting alone

But this time is different

A minor mistake

will spoil all

Think about it

You don't trust me

To see Hawk, you cannot go empty-handed

This is Luan's advance map

- The real map? - Fake map can't fool Hawk

I've made a copy and sent to HQ

And

according to Luan's confession

we drew this map of Tiger Mountain

Leggy

Yes

Yang

you are our anti-bandit squad members

You must succeed

Don't disappoint us

Follow Yang into the mountains

- Keep us posted - Yes

Leggy, let's split here

OK

Beyond this mountain

is the Tiger gang territory

From here

go downhill for 4 to 5 li

there's Liu Village

You should hide there

When it's time

| will meet you here

OK

Yang

Hide your message inside the bark

I'll come check everyday

Yang

be very careful from now on

Leggy

you know why 203 changed his mind?

Perhaps he's decided it already

just waiting for your confirmation

Take care

Remember this rock

I'll try my best to approach Hawk

to find out more and inform you ASAP

If you don't hear from me after 10 days

the mission may have failed and I'd have died

Remember, the bandits are very cunning

Guard against their surprise attack

Protect the villagers of Leather Creek

Protect Little Knotti

Yang

Who are you?

Speak of the devil

Want milk?

Mother comes

Want her relatives?

Here comes the kid's uncle

Who are you?

lam me

Point the gun down

It's uncocked

Carry the tiger, pull the horse

Open the gate

Bring the man in

"A cloud in the NW black sky"

"A crow in a flock of phoenix"

"A house filled with heroes"

"Who's the king and who are fellows?"

Your name

Surnamed Hu

Mr Hu

which gang are you from?

| belong to Lord Big Stick's gang

Aide Hu in charge of horses

What's your purpose here?

| won't say till | see the boss

Big brothers

| just arrived, please bear with me

"Our master lords over tigers"

"Our pagoda seals river monsters"

What do you do?

| belong to Lord Big Stick's gang

Why do you blush?

I'm full of vigor

Why is it yellow now?

It's wax against the cold

That said

you are under Commander Big Stick

What identity will you fake?

Big Stick has a horse aide called Hu

This man is seldom seen

Nobody recognizes him

| can borrow his identity to meet Hawk

Big Stick and Hawk are arch-enemies

Using this identity is suicidal

Exactly because of this

Hawk will not verify

Hu, horse aide of Lord Big Stick

pays respect to Lord Hawk

When

did you know Commander Big Stick?

When he was the Police Commissioner

I've heard he has some favorite things

Two treasures

- Which two? - Horse and sword

- What horse? - A blue-mane horse

- What sword? - A Japanese saber

- Whose gift? - The Japs Army

- Where? - At Peony River

Brother Hu

your commander treated you well

Why do you betray him?

lf | am a traitor

you can kill me now

It's all Aide Luan's fault

He stole Lord Big Stick's advance map

and imputed the theft to me

Lord Hawk, give me some wine first

| eventually caught the guy

| asked him to take the map

and go back with me

Explain everything to Lord Big Stick

in his face

Guess what he said?

He said: going back means death

It'd be better to offer the map to the PLA

We'd be awarded the post of battalion or regiment commander

| pretended to agree

After he fell asleep

| stole the map

| planned to take it back to the brigade

and explain the matter to Lord Big Stick

But Luan's remark alarmed me

Going back means death

In the Peony River region

| most admire you, Lord Hawk

In for a penny, in for a pound

Taking advantage of the snowstorm

| ran up Tiger Mountain

hoping to join your gang

Liar

Bullshit

You think | am a pig?

Making up such a story

| Know the rules

No gift, no way to join the gang

Lord Hawk

Advance map of Peony River

Hu's gift

to Lord Hawk

- Any news about Yang? - Not yet

- 203 - I'll take over the shift

You go take a rest

Captain

- | am not hungry - You drink it

Stop tailing me

Sister Lil’ Dove said this is a mission

If you don't drink, I'll fail

Sister also said

Captain surely can't sleep afterwards

We even pinky swore

OK, I'll drink it

Go

Knotti, come here

It's your turn

I'm telling you

move again, I'll cut you into a mangy dog

Lord Hawk said

to reward Hu

he is bestowed the 9th Warrior Attendant

Colonel of Security Brigade

Congratulations to 9th Chief

Big brother

This Bro 9 can do NE dance duet

Stop barking

Don't you see it's your master?

Dogs

They are my pets

My house is next to yours

Come visit me anytime

None of your business

Get out

Lord Hawk's woman

Cannot touch

Ma'am, leave Bro 9 a life

Get lost

Bro 7

You get out too

Bro 9, be careful

Bro 7, Bro 9 is doomed

Lord Hawk

Let's go

Bro 9

you are drunk

Ma'am

why are you here?

Don't call me ma'am

sounds so old

Call me Qinglian

Knotti's surname is Jiang

He lived at Shanlan forestry station

His mother Qinglian went missing

Bro 9, don't go

Ma'am, have you been here for over half-a-year?

Why rush, Bro 9?

We must respect seniority here

Ma'am

let me pour you some tea

roll you a cigarette

Bro 9

Who are you?

How'd you know...

Knotti is fine

he is taken care of

He misses his mom everyday

The boss sends his lady to see me

Take me to him

It's not the right time

Maybe later

lam so grateful

| await patronage from the lady

My honor

Bro 9

- Are you all right? - Thanks for your tip

You saved my life

We are brothers

You are still alive

Brilliant!

You know how many brothers’ lives were lost for her?

How did you do it?

Go out for a walk

Bro 9

the firepower of Tiger Mountain

covers 5 mounts and 9 bunkers

It's an impenetrable defense

Show me to open my eyes

On the opposite

is the fortune rock

of Tiger Mountain

the King's rock

A brilliant man once foretold

it symbolizes the throne of Lord Hawk

To the north of the King's rock

there seems to be no defense measures

On the eastern cliff there are open and hidden arms

Isn't the north overlooked?

It isn't

The Eagle Beak there is like a hanging lamp

Look, Bro 9

a deep valley in the middle

So what bastards can come up here?

Then only heavenly soldiers can fly up here

Lord Hawk

Hu joined us without testing

it isn't proper

After the Japs retreated

a 2000-men troop

was defeated by 8 of us

How did we do it?

Lord Hawk was astute and circumspect

You used spies

Therefore

| hate spies the most

Bro 9

Stop barking, one of ours

Where are you going?

Me too

Bro 8, men are not dogs

We cannot treat them like dogs

What's wrong?

| treat them well

They are fed everyday

They are actually enjoying it

We cannot live by bullying others

We have to be refined

Should hope for peaceful life

Peaceful life?

What is peaceful life?

Brothers, fight the PLA!

Fight the PLA!

Damn it, the PLA is here

Bro 9, grab your gun and kill the PLA

Go

Damn

there is at least a company

Bro 9, look

Shit, aim precisely

What marksmanship is that?

Blind?

Bro 9, have some fun

He dares not shoot

Son of a bitch

Bro 9

Brothers

Fight hard and kill the PLA!

Bro 9 is brilliant

Keep an eye on him

Bro 2

Stop

Bro 9

Stop at once!

Stop firing

Son of a bitch

Stop firing

Stop

Bro 9, this is a drill

Drill

They're our brothers

Our brothers

Damn you

Are you kidding me?

A drill?

Killing so many brothers!

Bro 2

As the men are here

you might as well give them to me

I'll take them downhill

to practice looting

Lord Hawk, what do you think?

Tell Bro 5

if Hu plays any trick

bring his corpse back

Sure

- Bro 5, you lead the way - OK

Brothers

follow my orders

Now we go downhill to loot

This is your rotten idea of testing Hu

At least it proves Hu

is not a PLA spy

One word

Why weren't you down there blown up by him too?

Brothers

let's race to the opposite slope

No. 1 gets $5

No. 2 gets $3

No. 3 gets $1

Charge!

Bro 8

| remember

there was a grove

When was it cut down?

Really?

Think it's for the winter

The snow'll seal off the mountain

we must gather enough firewood

Lord Hawk forbids the felling of trees uphill

So it must be our brothers who chopped them here

Clever guys, it's a short cut

Son of a bitch

My belly aches

You wait here

I'll find a place for it

Mine aches too

You wait here, I'll go as well

What'd you want?

Let's follow

I'd say

Watching me crap?

that's new!

D'you have shit?

Crap if you do

Stay away if no crap

Don't watch

I'm talking to you

Idiots

- Shit! - Take a hike!

- Ignore him - | can't crap with you here

Never crapped with gun firing

Bro 5, isn't crapping a trick?

You wanna kill Bro 8 too?

He's also crapping

Bro 8

Brought any paper?

Just pick it out

| am not used to that

Forget it, I'll handle it myself

What are you two up to?

Interested in your dad's butt?

Enjoy watching?

Don't you ever crap again

Once you do it

I'll shoot at your butts

Stopping nagging

- One more word I'll geld you - What?

Nonsense

Goddamn enjoyable

They're after my butt

Who's after your butt

You son of a bitch

You have no respect for seniors

We are all brothers

Let's go

Yang suggests that

we go up Tiger Mountain's north cliff

and sneak attack the Tiger Fortress

On the map

the north of Tiger Fortress

faces Eagle Beak

Who has been to Eagle Beak?

| heard of it but have never been there

I've been there, I'll lead the way

You've been to Eagle Beak?

My dad often took me there

| know how to get there

But there're all precipices, is it viable?

If Yang suggests it

he knows

| can go up there

Knotti, let's go

and prepare the skis

- You know how to ski? - Who doesn't?

OK

Go

Chaojia, you take 5 men

and follow Knotti to Eagle Beak for scouting

Yes

Knotti's mother Qinglian

is on Tiger Mountain and she's fine

Don't tell Knotti

Remember, we can't let him know

Knotti, follow me

- Don't lag behind - Try catch up with me

Little Knotti

come closer and don't get lost

Closer

Knotti, slow down

Catch up with him

Don't lose him

That's something, Knotti

You ski really fast

We should be your apprentices

What does it mean?

Learn skiing from you

No problem, easy job

That is Eagle Beak

Let's split up to investigate

Go

Yang says opposite to Eagle Beak is

the northern cliff of Tiger Mountain

But the cliff is too steep

What?

You bragged that

nothing could stop you

You cower?

| have an idea

You sing well, Lord Hawk

Where is Knotti?

Take me to him

Listen to me

| found this in Hawk's coat

This is Tiger Mountain's map of secret paths

We can escape with it

lf Hawk discovers

no one Can escape

Listen

put the map back immediately

You should know

Tiger Mountain isn't a place you can escape from

Run now

Before he discovers, we'd have already left

can't leave now

If you're not taking me away

why did you mention Knotti?

Who are you?

You drank too much

| am just Bro 9 of Tiger Mountain

Cut the crap

If | die

you can't shirk the responsibility

You two...

what responsibility?

As Bro 9

you should tell if you're leaving

Get out with your hands up

Later, insist that the map is on him

Stand still

Use your left hand

to give me your gun

Who shot?

Lord Hawk, it's me

| saw your lady trying to elope with Bro 9

So | fired to alert you

Really?

Lord Hawk

| have a clear conscience

Hang him up

Tie him up

Later insist that the map is on him

It's him

| saw him steal from Lord Hawk's house

| asked Bro 9 to help me catch him

Now he fakes a counter-charge

A thief accusing thieves

You...

Lord Hawk

Lord Hawk

| didn't, | really didn't

Confess

Lord Hawk, | really didn't

| Kept an eye on your wife

to see if she'd do anything disloyal to you

That's very kind of you

Lord Hawk, there must be misunderstanding

He has stolen or not

search him and you'll know

Lord Hawk, if I've done anything wrong

I'll shoot myself

Search

This...

This really... isn't mine

Use your left hand to give me your gun

Lord Hawk, it really isn't mine

- |am framed - Of course it isn't yours

It's mine

Lord Hawk, | am framed

Big brother

Tell me

In the future you'll repay me

Lord Hawk

Lord Hawk

Thank you, Lord Hawk

Lord Hawk

How about Bro 9?

- What's that? - Again

What's that?

- Come on - Don't move

- Grab the tile - Don't blame it on me

- it's all your fault - My fault?

| haven't won the whole night

What tile did you give out?

My turn

- Pay up, you all pay up - Allin the same suit

- Pay up - Paying

- Lend me your money - No

Bro 6, no way

Bro 6, no way

Bastard, listen carefully

It's your honor that | borrow money from you, understand?

What, can't pay your loss?

Then don't play

It's enough

The village spies've been silent

Lord Hawk

Big brother

The spies you sent

are either living in peace

or all killed by the PLA

Tomorrow, take Bro 5 and Bro 6

and 300 men downhill

If there is really PLA

treat it as an exercise

Before the snow seals off the mountain

kill the sheep and come back for New Year

Yes, Lord Hawk

The bandits are coming

The bandits are coming

How many of them? How far away?

Over 200 men

About 2 li from the village

Tank

Order all the units to get ready for combat

- Set up 3 defense lines - Yes

- Detonator - Yes

How about the Flying Thunder?

Can be detonated anytime

Gao, tell Yongqi

to assemble the villagers

- Keep a close eye on Luan - Yes

Listen carefully

move around when you fight

so that the enemy doesn't know our number

Buddha of infinite light, please bless us

Stop the racket

No use praying

If you attract the bandits here

we will all die

Little Knotti, don't be afraid

Last time we also hid in a hut like this

they all died

All died

| don't wanna die

- | wanna go home - Don't make a noise

Fear not, this time is different

This time we are here

Fire

Fire

Damn it

they have cannons

Must be a PLA main force

Follow me

Shut up

You won't be rescued

Stop dreaming

Shut up

Charge

Little Knotti, it's ok

Knotti

Knotti

Little Knotti

Leggy

Leave the roof now

Damn it

Big brother

Someone's firing from the tower

- Load the gun - Yes

Let me through

Knotti

Stay here

Knotti's gone out, let me out

OK

Be careful

Knotti

No more cartridge clip, go get it

Little Knotti

Knotti

Brick

Brick

He said "give the bullets to Tank"

Knotti

Knotti

Ready for a match?

I'll go distract them

Don't move or I'll shoot you

Knotti

Ammunition box

Bro 6

Big brother

Bro 6

Where is Bro 5?

Haven't seen him

Guess he's fled

Don't hesitate, Big brother

let's withdraw

Withdraw

Brick...

The others?

Auger, Xiaoliang

Wheel and Steel Wrist

are all injured

And...

203

Captain

It's all my fault

| am useless

| let that bastard Luan

slip away

Leggy, let's chase

Chase whom?

Luan

lf we can't find Luan

Yang will be in danger

Bro 9, look

your old mate is here

Aren't you Brother Luan?

When did you come to Tiger Mountain?

It's you?

It's me

Hu

What's going on, brother?

Last month we're at Leather Creek

trying to decide which gang to join

You dragged me to join the PLA

Only a short while later

you're already wearing PLA uniform

Are you a regiment or battalion commander now?

Hu

You've all been duped

Lord Hawk

he's a PLA spy

Bullshit

You say our Bro 9

is a PLA spy

Brother Luan

what you said is too vicious

You said I'm a PLA spy

Don't forget it's you who asked me to join the PLA

Now you're tagging me with this shitty unfair label

You want to lend Lord Hawk a knife to kill me

- You're lying - Did the PLA send you?

Lord Hawk and all big brothers

Let this bastard explain

how he knows | am a PLA spy

and how he got acquainted with this PLA

At Leather Creek you killed my brother

and snatched my things

Lord Hawk, the fur coat he's wearing

was originally my gift for you

Luan

that means you're caught by the PLA

How come they release you so soon?

Why are you wearing PLA uniform?

Didn't the god damn PLA send you to Tiger Mountain?

| am wearing this to evade

the PLA spies

Lord Hawk

Tell me how many PLA soldiers are down there?

20, no

30

Bullshit

Can 30 men be equipped with cannons?

When did Leather Creek get cannons?

Lord Hawk

| think the PLA at least have a regiment down there

Or how could they kill so many of us?

Lord Hawk, they really only have 30

That means only

30 PLA soldiers

were able to reduce our 300 men

to fewer than 50

And killed Bro 5

Bullshit

Luan, it's damn strange that you suddenly come here

Tell me why or I'll shoot you

Say it

Big brothers

Today

Today, every word | say is true

| can swear to god

Lord Hawk

Lord Hawk

To offer tribute to you, | offended this mad dog

If | don't revenge, | vow not to be a man

Today, at Tiger Mountain

either he lives or | live

If | were a PLA spy

you can kill me right now

Whether | am an outsider or your man

you decide

Lord Hawk

there is no problem with Bro 9

He really is PLA

| really ran away from Leather Creek, Lord Hawk

Whether he's true or fake

| Know very well

Today you come to join our gang

you must have a gift

Lord Hawk, everything

has been snatched by this PLA

Did he snatch this?

Lord...

Lord Hawk

This map, Lord Hawk

was snatched from me by him

It's him

What a mess

It's getting more confusing

Whom should | listen to?

I'd rather let it ask you

Lord Hawk

don't shoot, Lord Hawk

| Know you don't believe me

But if you go check out Leather Creek

you'll know it's a PLA trap

Big brother, it seems you have to go again

Damn you

| just got ambushed at Leather Creek

You ask me to go again

You want all my brothers killed?

Don't hit

Lord... Lord Hawk

There are really only 30 PLA soldiers

Kill him!

| Know Leather Creek well

Now while they're still recuperating

I'll take you to wipe them out

Bro 9

Your gun, you do it

Lord Hawk, entrust it to me

Every word | say is true

And you wanna kill me

| have lied all my life

Speak to a saint like a saint, a devil like a devil

| have been safe and gained wealth

| didn't expect the first time | tell the truth

I'd die in the hands of you liar

It's no use saying that now

Let's go Bro 2

203, urgent intelligence

Luan is killed by Yang

On New Year's Eve

A banquet will be held at Tiger Hall

At 1 a.m.

I'll blow up the west wall to welcome you

Gao

Brick

you two stay at Leather Creek

Salute to the two

comrades in arms

| Know you don't want me to go with you

You've never treated me as a soldier

No

you've been taking good care of the warriors

They are very grateful to you

But for the Tiger Mountain battle

- in case we... - Only you're a soldier?

What's the duty of a soldier?

To protect oneself?

Liars

My dad and my mom died

Brother Gao died

Who of you could protect them?

I'm telling you Gao died for protecting us

Is it fair to him if you say that?

Your dad and mom also sacrificed for you

Have you gone crazy?

- Get up - Getting up for what?

Knotti

Listen to me, your mom is still alive

Yang sent word

your mom is on Tiger Mountain

Knotti

your mom's still alive, heard it?

Your mom's still alive

heard it?

Still alive

Tank

the fellow villagers want to see the Captain

Captain

The villagers heard that

you are attacking Tiger Mountain tonight

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve

They wanna treat you all

to New Year's Eve family dinner

A snowstorm is coming

We have to arrive at Eagle Beak before dark

Every moment counts

We'll have the family dinner when we return

Fellow villagers

thank you

- Get ready to set off - Yes

Don't you go, | go there to receive my mom

Lil’ Juan

what are you doing? Come here

Knotti

At Tiger Mountain, you can only wait outside

- This is an order - OK

Lil’ Dove, Knotti is entrusted to you

Light the lanterns

"Boundless longevity"

Here enters the birthday star, the invincible

Lord Hawk

Would the birthday star take his seat

The birthday banquet begins now

Serve the food and wine

Lord Hawk

Lord Hawk

Elders and brothers

today is the 60th birthday

of our Lord Hawk

and also New Year's Eve

A double blessing has descended upon here

A family of 1000 members is ruled by one man

Our gang is populous and prosperous

thanks to the boss' leadership

Come, raise your glasses

Let's all wish our boss

a happy birthday

and many more of them

Bottoms up

Get out of the way

Lord Hawk

Some of our brothers

saw the lady run towards

the NW corner on a horse

We've taken her back

Hang her up

Hang her up

Grab your guns, quick

What?

What?

Charge

Get out of the way, quick

Lord Hawk, the arsenal's been robbed

We're attacked and besieged

Hawk

your retribution eventually comes

Catch the traitor

This traitor must've come from outside

Hands up

You're the only outsider here

They're all my brothers long fought with me

I've anticipated one day

Tiger Mountain will be infiltrated

But before you succeed

the thing | have to do

is to kill you

Big brother

| spared your life

today you should repay me

Shield me when | flee

Yes, Lord Hawk

Hawk has fled

Disarm and surrender

Freeze

Resist no more

Disarm and we won't kill

Hands up

We are the PLA

Disarm and we won't kill

Bro 9

Put down your guns

- Put down your guns - Don't

Baojun, ignore me

| say it once more

put down your guns

- 203 - Baojun

ignore me

I'll count to 3

Put down your guns or I'll shoot him

Bro 9

Bro 9

Mom

Knotti

Mom

It's over

| hope Knotti's generation

won't see war again

Right

you applied to resign

HQ does not object

because I've never reported to them

It seems you and the squad

need to take up the next mission

This is an order

Yes, Captain

- Grandma - My boy

- Eat the fish - Smells good

Haven't tasted Grandma's fish for long

Eat more

Why are there so many guests?

What guests?

They are all our family

It's the New Year, we're having family dinner

The same every year

Lad, you've grown up

Grandpa

You haven't come home for years

Sit down, sit down

Good timing, we can have family dinner

together on New Year's Eve

Dig in

Oh and

when | was little, grandpa said

Tiger Mountain had a secret airstrip

If | am to imagine

Yang's saving grandma

might have been like is

You son of a bitch

Who the hell are you?

Put down your gun

One word

| assure your life

| assure your death

One word

| won't say anything
