(Glory of Special Forces)

(This series is Shanghai's major literary and artistic project)

(Episode 23)

Report!

An eight-man squad isn't agile enough.

Our advance is too slow.

It hasn't achieved the effectiveness of a raid.

It'll only affect our speed if I act overcautiously.

Do you think you'll face enemies like them on the battlefield?

Do you think your enemies will show you mercy?

Do you think so?

Listen.

When you're surrounded by enemies,

what is your goal?

Your goal is to accomplish the mission

and go home safely

with your comrades.

Killing more people is never the goal!

If we progress faster,

our military capability

will be so much better!

Yan Po Yue!

Have some team spirit!

Care for a match?

What is worth for a match?

Are you telling all of us to follow your pace?

We will never know if it works if we never try it.

That's enough! Shut up!

All of them are talking rubbish.

Remember the battle plan!

Come again!

Move!

Let's go.

Let's go.

I was shot!

Mu Qing, save him!

Yan Po Yue! Xiao Yun Jie! Cover them!

Where are the rest?

They're staying back to help the injured.

That's enough! Fall in!

Fall in around Yan Po Yue!

Yan Po Yue!

Here!

Fall out!

Yes!

In this simulation training,

besides Yan Po Yue,

everyone else is considered dead!

The mission is a failure!

Yan Po Yue, are you crazy?

Can't you see that your comrades were down?

You didn't bother to cover them! Why did you run away?

It's not even necessary to have so many people

attempting to accomplish the mission.

I dare you to repeat!

Yan Po Yue!

You're too arrogant!

What is going on?

I haven't even left this place.

It's just the first day of the group training.

Are you having an internal conflict?

What is going on?

Attention!

Captain.

What is with the ruckus?

Nothing.

A few useless rookies are having some conflicts.

Is Yan Po Yue trying to steal the limelight again?

Report!

He didn't do that.

We're merely having a discussion on the battle plan.

Yes.

We're just discussing about the battle plan.

Is that true?

Yes.

Discussing among the group members is a good practice.

Let's go for lunch.

You may discuss the plan while eating.

-Bai Long. -Yes!

Come to my office now.

Yes.

What's wrong?

Do you want to eat?

Yes.

Aren't you ashamed to have lunch because you have failed in your mission?

Since you've failed, you should embrace your failure.

Now,

each of you have to do 200 push-ups.

The person who just asked for lunch will have to do 300 push-ups.

Then, run 5,000 meters around the field.

Do it now.

Bai Long.

Thank you.

When was the last time we had a private talk?

I'm so glad

that you're back.

Look.

Nothing has changed in the camp.

The veterans are still the same.

Is that why

you're still unable to let go of the past?

I just can't forget that incident.

None of us

will ever forget that incident.

Some of them bottle up their emotions

while some of them hold on to it dearly.

Some of them should be held responsible for that incident.

Are you referring to me?

If anyone should be held liable,

that should be me.

Captain.

Nothing was wrong with your commands.

But...

But the platoon leader should not be sacrificed.

What do you think should have happened?

He should have survived.

Back then,

if Xiang Fei didn't save Cao Ben,

he could have survived.

But in that case, Cao Ben would have died.

Would you feel upset if Cao Ben died?

Yes.

Lu Tu, Leng Jing and me.

We've mastered the way

to keep the incident in our heart.

I thought you're the same as us.

On that day,

when you challenged Cao Ben in front of everyone else,

it suddenly struck me

that not only have you not forgotten the incident,

you've also been looking for the answer.

This answer

will come out soon.

What is it?

Let me ask you a question.

Why don't you think highly of Yan Po Yue?

He's selfish.

Let's put it mildly.

He lives by individual heroism.

Just like you,

I don't think highly of him either.

But I still decided to keep him.

I have even made you guys a team.

Do you know why?

Why?

You...

You and Yan Po Yue

are the two extremes of human nature.

You attach great importance

to the bond among comrades and team spirit.

He, on the other hand,

attaches great importance to individual heroism.

He loves being in the limelight

and loves acting alone.

I make you two a team

so that you can live together,

and train together.

You'll get used to each other soon.

Perhaps it'll help the pair of you

to get out of your blind spots.

Since I can't get used to him,

I'll let him get used of me.

Bai Long.

As your captain,

I'm assigning two missions to you.

You have to accomplish it alone.

Yes!

Firstly,

from now on, during training,

you have to take the initiative to approach Yan Po Yue

and get along with him.

Yes.

Secondly,

tonight, after the training,

see Cao Ben in private

and have a talk with him.

Remember.

No fighting.

Yes!

Brat.

Go to the other side.

Keep eating. It's none of your business.

Platoon Leader Ma.

Are you keen to sit here?

It's okay. There are only two of us.

Let's go, Yan.

Don't be mad at our comrades.

He's almost done.

He only has one more bite to go.

Hurry up!

Don't be mad at our comrades.

Enjoy your lunch, Platoon Leader Ma.

Enjoy your lunch.

Go on, enjoy your lunch.

Rookies nowadays

are so arrogant.

Let them be.

They're rookies.

They have not seen the world.

Yes, they are too arrogant.

Just wait and see.

He'll get into trouble, sooner or later.

I'm used to it.

He has been behaving this way since we first joined the army.

These veterans

are trying to teach him a lesson.

However, to Yan Po Yue,

they're no match for him.

He's not bothered at all.

Yan.

I think

they're just a little strict.

It seems that you don't trust me, too.

No.

It took us so much of effort to come in.

Can't you tone down a little?

Be cooperative.

What did I not cooperate with?

You were uncooperative during tactical training.

We're new here.

You should be cooperative.

It's not that I refuse to be cooperative.

The battle plan

is problematic in the first place.

The same battle plan has been used by

Cheetah Special Forces for a very long time.

From where did you get the idea that it's problematic?

The battle plan

overly rationalises the enemies.

The attacks and defences were played by the book.

We're told to advance and retreat together.

But in reality,

when we're carrying out mission,

we'll face desperados.

They're irrational and reckless.

During the fight,

if one of us is shot,

they'll come at us at all cost.

It's impossible to defend ourselves.

So tell me, what should we do?

The only way

is to kill the leader of our enemies

in the shortest time.

You're entitled to have your own view

but nobody cares about your view.

If you don't stand by your own view,

no one will listen to it.

This is a friendly reminder.

Being a part of Cheetah Special Forces, we may be eliminated at anytime.

Will we be eliminated just because we have our own view?

I don't believe in that.

No.

Look.

Everyone has their own view

but everyone just bites their tongue. No one says anything.

Look at Guo Xiao Xiao.

She's such an excellent sniper.

She can shoot with great precision.

She's assigned as a spotter once she joined.

Did she say anything?

Don't forget about Yue Kong.

Do you know his background?

For three years in a row,

he's the champion of the military sniping tournament.

He's also the top in Cheetah Special Forces

in term of comprehensive strength.

He's not as good as you think.

Maybe you won last time because he gave in to you.

Why don't we pick a fight with him

so that we can fight against him again?

My goodness.

He's more senior than us, right?

You should give face to him.

We should get closer with everyone here.

Or else, everything won't be easy for us

when we're here.

What should I do?

Should I buy him some cigarettes

to befriend him?

You may do so.

I do things in my own way.

Lift your leg.

Leave me alone. Leave now!

This is an order!

Leave.

Are you sent by the captain?

Is it even necessary?

That's enough.

It's getting late.

Go back and rest early.

You've been aiming for so long

but you didn't fire the rifle.

Why?

I...

I was just practising aiming.

I didn't plan to fire the gun.

Care for a match?

There is no way that a person with a rifle does not intend to shoot.

You stared at me for two minutes but you didn't say anything.

I've told you everything I need to tell you

a long time ago.

Bai.

You went through a lot of obstacles

to rejoin Cheetah Special Forces.

Did you do that just to remind me

that it's not worthy for Xiang Fei to sacrifice himself for me?

Am I right?

Do you really have to hurt me

as if you're a knife?

Now, you're my superior.

I'm sure that I'm not a knife.

I'm at most a scar.

Don't say that.

We're comrades.

What do you want to do?

Do you want to beat me up?

That's too easy on you.

Bai.

The captain asked me to have a talk with you.

I have completed the mission.

(One-on-one combat training)

Form a group of two for combat training.

Get ready, Group One.

Vice squad leader.

Don't give in to me this time.

My head is tough.

I can take 100 punches.

Let's place a bet.

Sure.

The loser

will drink the winner's feet washing water.

Do you dare?

It's a deal.

Come on.

Bai!

I'll do it.

Yue Kong, listen to the squad leader.

Fine, you'll do it.

It starts now.

Yan!

You need to stop being so arrogant!

You're being nosy!

You're not the best in Cheetah Special Forces.

I'll become the best sooner or later.

With me around,

dream on!

Yan!

Bai is getting too serious.

Shall we stop them?

It's called a fight when you beat up your enemies.

It's called training

when you beat up your comrades.

We aim to train them in actual combat.

Let's wait and see.

Harder!

That's enough.

Take a break.

Next!

Right face!

Left face!

Turn to the back!

What? Do you want me to feed you?

Listen.

It's been quite a while

since Bai Long got even with someone.

Who was the last person?

Does it have anything to do with you?

You can't live without competing with others, can you?

You're referring to tactical training, right?

The battle plan is problematic!

None of you have noticed that.

The battle plan used by Cheetah Special Forces

is accumulated

bit by bit through real combat.

It's accumulated from uncountable experience and lessons.

Do you get it?

I don't get it!

When some of the comrades are unable to move forward,

the entire troop will be wiped out if we stop half way,

but we're still required to stop and help them.

It's pointless to sacrifice for nothing!

Right face!

If you ever abandon any injured comrades,

even if you survive the battle,

you'll live in pain for the rest of your life.

Are you serious about joining Team Nine?

Yes, I'm serious.

Give me a reason.

After a careful thought,

I learned that there are things I have to face on my own.

Bai Long is like a X-ray machine.

He makes me

embrace my fear that I didn't want to face.

Is Bai Long really that impressive?

Yes.

Three years ago, after Xiang Fei sacrificed himself,

all of you

hid your true feelings from me.

Some showed sympathy for me

while some had scruples against me.

Then, Bai Long appeared.

He reminds me at all time

that someone else should be here,

but not me.

We're the special forces

of Chinese People's Armed Police Force.

Sacrifices are inevitable.

As such, under certain circumstances,

we're not having sympathy for someone.

We do that because we understand.

You can even say that it's part of our duty.

However, this duty

is too heavy to me.

I need to start all over again.

Or in other words, I need to get used to it.

Do you think you can get used to it just by joining Bai Long's team?

Let me try, Captain.

I'll work hard.

Listen.

What you and Bai Long need

is a mutual understanding.

But it's almost impossible

to reach that kind of understanding

through normal training and cohabitation.

There are always chances for us to experience extreme environments.

The temperature is 32 degree Celsius.

The humidity is about 20 percent.

Wind is blowing in the south-east direction.

The wait in lying position

will last for ten hours.

I'm a man.

I waited in lying position for 26 hours before.

I was lying in mud.

I know that you're impressive.

I didn't make you a spotter.

I don't care.

I only care about accomplishing the mission.

Check out the direction of 11 o'clock

which is about 530 meters from us.

The wind speed is six to eight meters per second.

The sight from west to east is good.

If my memories serve me right,

your leader is Captain Leng.

Yes.

Are you making the mistake on purpose?

You bypass your immediate leader to lodge a complaint.

Captain Leng is here.

Anyway, if you think that I'm at fault, then I'm at fault.

Xiao Xiao, talk properly.

Yes.

Based on my observation,

Yue Kong is not as good as I am.

What is the problem?

I'm always a sniper.

I was accepted because I'm a qualified sniper.

I don't think I'm inferior to him.

What is the problem?

Why am I assigned as a spotter

while he's assigned as a sniper?

Xiao Xiao!

Guo Xiao Xiao.

Why do you think that you're better than Yue Kong?

Do I have to make you a sniper

just because you want to be one?

Does everyone have to give way to you?

I'm not asking for that.

I'm letting my strength speak for itself.

Fine.

We'll have a sniping training tomorrow.

Leng Jing, let Yue Kong have a match with her.

Let's see who is qualified to be the sniper.

Is it okay?

I'm willing to do that!

Get out!

Yes!

Is it even necessary?

It'll be difficult for Yue Kong to work with her in the future.

If Yue Kong can't deal with her,

then he's not qualified to be a sniper.

Guo Xiao Xiao is a female soldier.

I don't want to see her get discouraged because of this.

That won't happen.

Guo Xiao Xiao is so much tougher than you think.

This young lady

is too arrogant.

Let Yue teach her a lesson.

I'll persuade her.

Don't do that.

It's useless anyway.

Her nickname is Lone Wolf.

She's always alone because she's too arrogant.

If we want her to work with Yue Kong of her own will,

we must let her fight with him in a harsh way.

Or else, she won't admit defeat.

One, two, one.

One, two, one.

One, two, one.

One, two, one.

One, two, one.

You're a lady. Why are you so fierce?

We'll have to work together in the future.

If you want me to work with you,

you must convince me.

Show me your real strength.

One, two, one...

Why do I have a feeling that the atmosphere is weird?

Guo Xiao Xiao went to see Captain Qin just now.

She volunteered to have a match with Yue Kong.

Who do you think will become the winner?

It's hard to say.

I'll bet on Guo Xiao Xiao.

I'll bet on Yue. Is that okay?

The winner gets a canned luncheon meat.

Sure. Make sure you don't go back on your own words.

-It's a deal. -One.

One, two, one.

One, two, one.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, one.

-Has Qin agreed to it? -One, two, one.

Did he agree straight away?

One, two, one.

What do you mean?

If he simply agreed with it,

then it's not as simple as it seems.

One, two, three, four!

Do you think that I'm not on a par with him?

One, two, three, four!

One, two, three!

It seems that Yue Kong has never shown his true strength in all this time.

One, two, one.

If he can defeat me,

I'll admit defeat.

One, two, one.

The comprehensive shooting training will begin soon.

First round at 350m,

second round at 700m with weights.

Then, at 900m, you'll have to shoot the moving targets.

There'll be a final shooting at the end point.

Do you get it?

Yes!

Let's begin.

Shoot!

They have a strong foundation in shooting.

What's going on, Captain Leng?

Why are you looking so concerned?

The first round is easy.

They'll be exhausted in the second round as they have to run with weights.

(700m)

They're too impatient.

That's right. They're indeed impatient.

Even blowing machine is used in this match.

The wind becomes stronger

as the target moves around in different speed.

Yue Kong is not using anemometer.

Anemometer can only detect wind speed and wind pressure at a certain spot.

An experienced sniper

will observe the changes in the length of shadow

to grasp the target

and the speed of the wind on a bullet's trajectory.

But this is too difficult.

I may not be able to do it either.

In other words, they rely on shadows.

Will it work?

Yue Kong is really something.

You're right.

The result is a foregone conclusion.

It's my turn.

If it wasn't for Captain Leng,

you would not have been able to defeat me.

Is that so?

If you're so confident with your shooting skills,

what stops you from shooting?

I looked into your shooting skills.

You're good at defending

while I'm good at attacking.

If you can be good at both attack and defence,

I'll be your spotter.

We have more goods now

but the price has decreased by 20 percent.

Now, all the goods are distributed only through Zan.

It's a huge place

but he has the final say in everything!

As you know,

all the roads in the north has been sealed.

Is Chinese People's Armed Police Force

really unassailable?

It's an order from Daddy Kun.

That's right. You're right.

We'd rather eat lesser

than losing our life.

The winner gets all the money!

So many bank notes.

Please share some with me.

Daddy Kun.

What are you doing?

Are you trying to win them over?

Daddy Kun, that's not true.

They've worked hard.

I just want to make them happy.

Come with me.

Red Scorpion

was initially a dilapidated fishing village.

It grew from a small fishing village with less than 100 villagers

to Red Scorpion that is known by everyone.

What is the main key?

Caution.

What else?

Viciousness.

I was ambitious back then.

I expanded the army

and brought drugs into China.

Later, the amount was getting bigger and bigger.

It eventually attracted attention.

As you know,

Red Scorpion was heavily attacked

and almost wiped out.

It took me more than a decade to slowly recover.

I'll bring back what you lost.

You don't get me.

I know that you travelled to the north quite often lately.

You're trying to get into the China's market.

Daddy Kun.

I just want everyone to have a better life.

Isn't all of us living now good enough?

You're greedy.

Daddy Kun.

Shoot my heart.

See it for yourself

if I genuinely care for you.

He sees China as his home.

He yearns to go home all the time.

It does no good to keep him with you.

Yes.

I know

that you've been secretly watching me for Daddy Kun.

Kuang Cha was buried here.

Make a choice.

It's either I make you reunite with him

or you work for me wholeheartedly in the future.

Tian.

Daddy Kun threatened me with my wife and children.

I didn't have a choice

but to listen to him.

Now, you're giving me a choice.

Of course I'll choose you.
