Episode 6

Mr. Zhao is here

He's waiting for you in the study

What are you yelling for?

For your life?

Why can't you just sleep here with me?

You're a bad woman!

Will you die without a man in your bed?

Mom, mom

-I won't leave. -Will you die?

Mom, I won't leave. Mom

Go to bed

Mom, I won't leave. I'm here

Sleep

Go to bed, sleep

Mom, I won't leave

I'm here, mom. Go to bed

Go to bed

Go to bed

It's quite cool. Don't catch a cold

Don't worry about Mr. Zhou

I'll work something out

Chairman has made up his mind about my dad

It won't be that easy

Mr. Zhou's men

are all members of Shunfeng Hall

You know Shunfeng Hall's men better than me

Their equipment might be inferior

but they're all good men

They wouldn't give the Japs a good time

But why did they turn into traitors?

I don't know which bastard's idea

this was

He's asking to be struck by lightning

We'll figure it out

Chiang owes everything to Sichuan

In the end, he's still bullying the people of Sichuan

What a bastard

If anything happens to my dad

I'll ask the brothers on both sides of the Sichuan River

to hide the grains and cut the water supply

Let's see what he'll do

As the lady Hall Master, you're quite capable

Stop ranting

This is a critical time for our nation

This isn't only about Sichuan

It's about China

What are you doing?

You just came back, and you're giving me a lecture?

I'm going home

Home?

This is your home

We're all staying at your home

If you're really going home

you should return to your hometown

But considering Mr. Zhou's situation

won't you worry if you go back?

I'm just ranting with you

You just returned, and I lost my temper with you

That was my bad

Here. It must be a long time since you've last had this

Try it

I'm really not used to this now

Let me go

I've always looked forward to your return

but you never came back

When you finally came back

you brought your wife and children with you

I've looked forward to my father

to arrange my marriage after he's done with the Japs

and fulfill his wish

He's back now

but he's in jail

I dare not hope for anything again

Xiugu

I promise you

I'll get Mr. Zhou out of jail

When he's out

you should get married to Liang Tian

Have some more

We're here

Are you sure Masanobu Tsuji hired him?

Yes

and they plan to hit tonight

Seems like this Masanobu Tsuji holds a grudge against Liang Tong

Although we're looking into Liang Tong

we must still ensure his safety

Yes, sir

We've already secretly gained control of

number 76's location in Chongqing

It's harder than anything for the Japanese

to conduct an assassination there

Director, don't worry

You must make it work once and for all

I want to warn

those people attempting assassinations in Chongqing

For the sake of safety

We should keep Liang Tong out of sight for the night

We'll kill the hitman as soon as possible

and let him go home sooner

There's no need for the alert

Stay in control, and everything will be fine

Yes, sir

Melanie has arrived

She's staying at Wanguo Hotel

We already have eyes on her

I see. You're dismissed

Yes, sir

The mysterious woman Melanie

has arrived in Chongqing

Zeng Guangxi can't hold back

the excitement that he's about to unveil Melanie's secret

Who exactly is this Melanie

who is a rigorously trained agent?

Is Liang Tong related to her?

The suspicion of Liang Tong cannot be lifted

Zeng Guangxi can only create obstacles

for Liang Tong's promotion

The destiny of Republic of China can't be

turned over to some suspicious man

Are the kids asleep?

Xiugu is taking care of them

They both like Xiugu quite a lot

Every time Xiugu comes to Chongqing

she'll take them over to her place

The kids don't even want to come back

They're spoiled by Xiugu

How long have you not seen Xiugu?

Maybe two years

You should deal with Mr. Zhou's matter

as if it's your own family business

Mr. Zhou and Xiugu have helped us a lot these years

Right

I'll get some water for you to wash your face

What is it with my brother and Xiugu?

Big brother stayed single

all these years

to help support this family

Commodity prices go up every day

My salary isn't enough at all

Big brother worked two jobs to keep this family together

You've been to Britain for over a year

Our family only got by

with the money you made

The old lady

started thinking about big brother's marriage

I don't know how, but she thought of

making a pair out of Xiugu and big brother

She took their birthdates

for matchmaking

Turns out they are a match

There's just a minor problem

Monks from the temple performed a ritual

and said they were fine

Isn't this feudalism and superstition?

You created this problem

Xiugu was engaged to you before you were born

Then Mr. Zhou sent you to study abroad

After you came back, you canceled the engagement

Xiugu is

still single

Is Mr. Zhou okay with this?

He is

But Xiugu just won't agree to this

Mr. Zhou got very angry and finally made it happen

Isn't that coercion?

Are you suggesting Xiugu

should always wait for you?

Do you still remember

when was the last time you came back?

Before I went to Britain

how long have you stayed home?

Maybe

two days

You only stayed for one night before you left

How long will you stay this time?

This time, I'm still not sure

Don't you miss me?

I'll get some water for you to wash your face

You must make sure nothing goes wrong

We can't make any mistakes

Rest assured

Our men are all over the place

Yu Shouren Agent, Chongqing Station, Bureau of Investigation and Statistics

Nothing will go wrong

If something goes wrong

we both can't take the responsibility

Yes, sir

Chief

Give me an update

Miss Melanie is already asleep

We have eyes there

Okay. Go to tell everyone

Stay alert

Keep control of

every possible sniping point

Report immediately after spotting the target

Yes, sir

We're going to catch him

Report

Speak up

The hitman should be on the roof

We're still looking for the specific location

However

we don't want to

scare him away

Locate him as soon as possible

Yes, sir

You must find him before dawn

Yes, sir

Report

We've basically confirmed the range

Should find him very soon

Search carefully. Go

Yes, sir

Why is the window open?

This is too dangerous

Shouren, let's go over there

Let's go

Find him at once!

Yes, sir

Hurry. Search carefully

You must find him

Report, I think I've spotted the target

Are you confident to take him out in one shot?

It's too dark. I'm afraid it will mess with my aim

Punk

Prepare the flare

Yes, sir

When you see the flare

finish him with one shot

Yes, sir

Zhou's Mansion

General Liang

General Liang

Liang Tian

Someone's knocking

I know

Do you usually get visitors so late?

Let me see who it is

Wait

Stay away from the window

Stay back

This is bad. There's another one

Let's go

Zhou's Mansion

Chief, chief

What happened?

I don't know either

You three, follow me

Break the gate open

Yes, sir

Zhou's Mansion

Hit it!

Upstairs!

Hurry

This way

Liang Tian! Big brother!

Big brother!

Big brother!

General Liang!

He still has a pulse

Get a car!

Yes, sir

Big brother!

Stop!

Chief

Follow me

Let's go

Stop! Stop!

Stop running! Stop!

Stop!

Xiugu, why are you here?

It's that shadow ahead

Go back now

Follow me

Go ahead. Catch him!

Zhou's Mansion

No

No

No

No

No!

No! No!

Everything in the nightmare

frightens Melanie a lot

But at the same time

she's swallowed by curiosity

She feels that

she is that woman named Emi Nakayama

This mysterious woman has enchanted her

Does Emi Nakayama master Kung Fu well?

Melanie is struggling

to find a logical explanation

for her remarkable fighting skills

Operating Room

Liang Tong's guts tell him

Ward

this must be related to a conspiracy

And this conspiracy is definitely linked to

the Yalta Agreement

Hitman number 76

Zeng Guangxi, Masanobu Tsuji

and the Japanese

How are they related?

How's Liang Tong's injury?

His arm was shot. Nothing serious

His bones are fine

Ward

Tong

Director, Chief

How are you?

Fine. Just a scratch

Is Liang Tian in operation?

Not sure if he'll make it

It's my fault

I never knew that

there's another hitman that we don't know of

behind hitman number 76

It was so dangerous

If anything happened to you

what should I do?

That hitman must be Japanese

How do you know?

He's bow-legged when he runs

They all saw

This very likely has something to do with Masanobu Tsuji

Masanobu Tsuji

It might be the first time that you've heard this name

but you're not a stranger to him

Ever since London

he's always been in charge of the operation of your abduction

Who is this Masanobu Tsuji?

Major general staff officer at the staff headquarters of Japan

A hardliner among the young

He has a lot of supporters in the Japanese military

Some people say he's a military genius

He's become your tail

since you've arrived in Calcutta

You knew this

when you were in India?

I have no clue why Masanobu Tsuji

is so obsessed with assassinating you

Can you explain

why he wants you dead?

I can't for now

Those things that happened in London

were only coincidences

The Japanese are very hard to deal with

Sometimes, they're fanatic

yet they can also be very meticulous

They won't just stop

I'll get to the bottom of this

I'll let you know once I have an update

Tong

Why are you here?

Hu Ziqi, Major General Commander of the 18th Corp National Revolutionary Army

How are you? You didn't hurt the bones, right?

I'm fine. What brings you here?

That Yasuji Okamura from Japan

initiated Operation Gyokusai

Minister Chen has deployed the

18th Corp to join the Battle of West Hunan

He ordered me to come to Chongqing immediately

I just got off the plane

when Mengxiang told me something happened to your family

My brother is injured. He's in operation

Who did it?

They're probably after you

It was the Japanese

These Japs

They make these sneaky attempts when they can't do it openly

Commandant is furious

This isn't a joke

What kind of place is Chongqing?

A senior officer of the National Army

gets shot by the Japanese in his own house

Have you heard of that?

I wasn't careful enough

Alright

You're fine, Tong

You have hundreds of thousands of men

from the 18th Corp backing you up

We all miss you

They can't be here, so they sent me as a representative

Come to your old forces when you have the time

We've all wanted to see you

I'll go with you to see General He

I want to join the Battle of West Hunan

A debt in blood can only be paid by blood

Military Affairs Commission of the National Government, Chongqing

The Operations Department of the

Military Affairs Commission of the National Government

is the core agency to command operations against Japan

Deputy Director Liu Feiyun

is in charge of developing the battle plans for the Battle of West Hunan

Liu Feiyun is an important figure in the Guangxi Clique

He always reaps profit

for the Guangxi Clique whenever he has a chance

He also has another secret identity that no one knows of

Liu Feiyun, Lieutenant General Deputy Director, Operations Department, National Government CPC Secret Agent

Liu Feiyun's identity with the Guangxi Clique

is his protection

as well as the support to attack the enemies

However, Deputy Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi

has his own plans

It's really easy

to win this battle

Mr. Bai, please enlighten us

Bai Chongxi, General Deputy Chief of Staff National Government

We'll win if we stay out of it

In the vast inland

it's been us, the weak forces

without much American equipment

who have always been fighting the Japanese

It's time for the central forces to show up

I think Mr. Chiang will appoint you as the general

Chief He has made it clear that

he's against the Battle of West Hunan

Okay

Come, sit down

Feiyun, make the battle plans macro

Stay out of the duty of commanding

I'll also avoid it

Isn't that a pity?

Pity?

This credit means nothing

We should think more about after the war

I don't need this credit

I won't give Chairman

the chance to impair us

You're not interested in commander-in-chief

Chief He doesn't want it either

But someone is very eager about the position

Chen Cheng

Chen Cheng's two subordinates

are already pushing Chief He Yingqin

Hu Ziqi from the 18th Corp, reporting to Chief

Chief

How's your injury?

I'm fine

What about your brother?

The bullet was taken out in the operation

He's still in danger

He Yingqin, General Military Affairs Commission of the National Government Chief of Staff, Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Force

I already sent Zeng Guangxi to look into it

This is absurd!

I can't afford to not avenge my country and family

Chief, please give me a chance

to serve my country

We'll talk about that after you've recovered

Ziqi

Welcome

Welcome the 18th Corp to the 4th Theater

and join the Battle of West Hunan

It's our honor to join

the Battle of West Hunan

Your arrival represents

Minister Chen's support to me

I'm very grateful

Let's sit down and talk

Sit down

I have to criticize Liang Tong

Please enlighten me, Chief

You're a local from the Southwest

We have a better relationship than anyone

But you never came without Hu Ziqi

You spent over a year in Britain

Last time in Calcutta

you've drawn a lot of attention

Now, we're in Chongqing

and you're wounded out of the blue

I'm really worried about you

Thanks for your concern, Chief

Chief, I'm a local in the Southwest

I hope to follow you

and fight on the frontline

Chief

Liang Tong is an excellent military talent

Our country is in need of talent now

you should appoint Liang Tong as commander on the frontline

What is this?

You've already worked it out before coming here?

Liang Tong is better than me in military tactics

If necessary

he should be the commander of the 18th Corp

I'll second him and be the staff officer

It'll all work

Liang Tong

Where will you fight this battle?

Zhijiang Airport at West Hunan

Zhijiang Airport is the second-largest airport in the far east

Yasuji Okamura would want to seize

Zhijiang Airport as soon as possible

In Battle Number 1 with the Japanese last year

the Japanese already occupied

seven air abases and more than 30 airports

Now Zhijiang Airport remains as

the only usable airfield

of the U.S. Strategic Air Forces in China

Many bombs above Tokyo

were sent from here

The Japanese want it very badly

Therefore, Zhijiang Airport

will become a critical target for the Japanese

If you were to choose the battlefield

where would it be?

Mount Xuefeng would be the best choice

Mount Xuefeng

is a natural barrier for the Zhijiang Air Base

It's easy to defend and difficult to attack

Mount Xuefeng stretches from northeast to southwest

It faces West Hunan, and it has rivers on both sides

It's quite inaccessible, easy to defend and difficult to attack

In terms of strategy

we should adopt an offensive approach in our defense

Defend first, then attack

Now we have air control

in a mountain combat

air superiority will play a big role

I recommend mobilizing the U.S. Mechanized Division

This will give us an absolute advantage

in firepower and equipment

In Phase I of the battle

our Phase I troops will

cooperate with the Air Force in bombing

and eliminate the enemy's mobile forces

with both advantageous positions

and favorable terrain

In Phase II of the battle

with the Japanese attack blocked

and a large number of casualties

our Phase II troops can move into favorable positions

and take the offensive

by working with our Phase I forces

We will surround and destroy all enemy forces entering Mount Xuefeng

Very good

Liang Tong, you came prepared

We're prepared

for this battle

But my biggest concern now

is when the Japanese in the north move to the south

this will give the Communist Party

a chance to expand

They will become our biggest threat in the future

And China would be in an awkward position

in negotiating with the Soviet Union

in a state of belligerency

By then, it is likely that China will be forced to

accept the results of the Yalta Conference

An excellent general

can't only be a brawn

He also needs to understand politics

What is politics?

First, he must see the big picture

I'm just a brawn

I don't know politics

I only know a soldier's duty is to follow orders

Whoever doesn't want a part in this battle should stay out of it

But we'll fight it

I'll go see Mr. Chiang

You two should be prepared

We'll fight this battle

and annihilate them

Dog in the manger!

I'm only delivering his original words

I haven't given my personal take yet

You're prodding him into action. I get it

In March 1945, the U.S. Army captured Japan's Iwo Jima

300 U.S. warplanes bombed Tokyo

In this most critical time for Japan

Masanobu Tsuji came to China

He's concerned about the Yalta Agreement

where it stated that the Soviet Union would send troops

to Northeast China

He's attempting to mediate the war

between China and Japan on his own

Zhou Fohai Mansion, Shanghai

to enable Japan to withdraw from China safely and with dignity

and to avoid a certain defeat

in a war with the powerful Soviet Union

the remaining Japanese military forces can also return home

to fight the U.S. and British-led Allied forces there

Long time no see

Zhou Fohai Vice Premier of the Executive Yuan of Wang Jingwei Puppet Regime Mayor of Shanghai Special City

Long time no see

You haven't changed at all

I'm in Shanghai again

but the situation has greatly changed

Please

Please

Mr. Liao Bin

Representative commissioned by the Chongqing Government

I've been looking forward to this meeting for a long time

Liao Bin Vice President of the Legislative Yuan of Wang Jingwei Puppet Regime

The rain is pouring

You've come despite the hardship

-Come. -Please

File Bag

Based on the framework of the peace program you provided

I have drafted this implementation project

Chairman Chiang has already reviewed

all the content

That means

this has Chairman Chiang's consent

That's totally correct

I'm very confused about something

What are you confused about?

We are in peace talks with the Chongqing Government

But Chairman Chiang appointed you to represent him

If I'm not wrong about your identity

you're the Vice President of the Legislative Yuan

of the Nanjing National Government

That's simple to explain

Since Wang Jingwei passed away in Japan

the National Government has lost its leader

Everyone is aware of the situation now

China and Japan have initiated peace talks

The Nanjing Government exists in name only

Many officials

have made contact with Chongqing

People must think about the future

Mr. Wang Jingwei only cooperated with Japan

and built the Nanjing National Government

because he believed that Japan and Germany would win the war

Now the situation is going in the opposite direction

Chinese people

think that we are traitors

If the peace talk between China and Japan goes through

then in Chinese saying

our two countries will forget our feud with a smile

That's understandable

However…

I understand you have concerns

the same could be said for Chairman Chiang

After all, this peace talk

is between China and Japan

This is against the agreement between the allies

Currently, we've made no substantial progress

If the confidentiality is breached

Chongqing would be put in a very awkward position

With third-party contacts

we establish some leeway for both parties

Then how can the Empire of Japan trust that

you have been authorized by Chairman Chiang?

Well…

This is indeed a problem

How about this?

Can we ask Chairman Chiang to provide

a written commission

and appoint Mr. Liao Bin

as the representative of the Chongqing Government

That would be formal

Prime Minister Kuniaki Koiso

hopes that the Chongqing delegation could visit Tokyo

Prime Minister would introduce them to the royal family and the cabinet

So their identities must be clear

The letter of appointment written by Chairman Chiang himself

is the minimum requirement

This request is reasonable

I'll contact Commander-in-Chief He Yingqin at once

and ask for a written letter by the Chairman

I hope to see this letter as soon as possible

We must hurry

Time isn't on our side

Chairman Chiang had already decided

to carry out the Battle of West Hunan near Zhijiang Airport

to fight Yasuji Okamura

The Chinese are insane

I'll be off now

We shall continue when we have

the Chairman's letter

Hope to see you soon

Sure

This isn't Chairman Chiang's intention

Instead, it's Yasuji Okamura's Operation Gyokusai

Operation Gyokusai? How stupid

The future of the Empire of Japan

will be destroyed by these idiots!

Especially now

The pro-war faction of the Chongqing Government, such as Chen Cheng

has gained the upper hand

Who?

Minister Chen Cheng, from the Ministry of War

Chen Cheng

Isn't Liang Tong a subordinate of Chen Cheng?

Yes

Liang Tong is also a trusted aide of Chen Cheng

It's him again

I'll exhaust all means to kill him

Liang Tong is on his guard

I still have a secret weapon

He's no ordinary hitman

Sir

Prince Chichibu specifically told me

to ask you to keep a low profile

Don't create additional problems

I'm worried this man

will sabotage our plan

If we kill Liang Tong

it will stifle the spirits of the pro-war faction in Chongqing

It will also disrupt their plan

This will buy us time for the peace talk

Liang Tong is only a major general

He's certainly very popular lately

but I'm still curious

as to why you have special attention to Liang Tong?

Intuition and judgment

A soldier's intuition

That's it?

That's enough

Zhou, you can't judge a person's power

by his position in the chain of command

The brain of the Imperial Japanese Army, Ishihara

was only a lieutenant colonel

I'm also only a major general

but we do great things

to protect our country and people

Please trust me on this
