Episode 31
4
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,440
Let's take a picture as a souvenir
5
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:06,200
Ziqi, come
6
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:13,800
I don't think this battle is as simple as it seems
7
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,840
Linyi was clearly emptied out
8
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:18,040
I feel the same way
9
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:19,480
The main force of the Communist Army is uncharted
10
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:20,560
Emergency telegram
11
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:22,240
Speak
12
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:24,360
Reconnaissance plane report
13
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:25,620
The main force of the Communist Army
14
00:00:25,620 --> 00:00:26,640
has been spotted moving towards Laiwu
15
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,400
Frequent movement is detected
16
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:32,440
Laiwu
17
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:32,440
Linyi
18
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:32,440
Shandong
19
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:32,440
East China Field Army
20
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:32,640
Li Xianzhou
The 73rd, 46th and 12th Armies
21
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:33,960
On the Northern Front, the 73rd
22
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,760
46th and 12th Armies
23
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:36,760
were given the order to move south
24
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:37,840
and so have arrived in Laiwu
25
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,120
These three armies are in echelon formation
26
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:41,360
They're alone
27
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:42,600
The Communist Army found an opportunity
28
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,080
They are closing in on Li Xianzhou
29
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:46,760
They've got a lot of nerve
30
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,240
Liang Tong, how should we fight this battle?
31
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,080
Have Li Xianzhou's three armies hold on to Laiwu
32
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:52,080
Laiwu
33
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:52,080
Shandong
34
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,600
Li Xianzhou
The 73rd, 46th and 12th Armies
35
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:54,440
Let the Communists surround them
36
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,720
And have the Ou Zhen army move swiftly north
37
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,200
to form another encirclement
38
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,520
around the enemy's formation
39
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,560
The Communist Army will become sandwich meat
40
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,800
and we'll carry out a battle of annihilation in Laiwu
41
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:04,640
This is a bold idea
42
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,600
We've been trying to find the Communist Army for a decisive battle
43
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,560
A showdown in Laiwu is not a bad idea
44
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:10,560
Mengxiang
45
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:12,840
Leave me the chance to go in first, this time
46
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,560
Don't run ahead of my troops again
47
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:18,520
The Ou Zhen group
48
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,640
is not able to move that quickly
49
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:21,160
Will Li Xianzhou hold out long enough
50
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,920
for the reinforcements to arrive?
51
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:23,720
I'm not optimistic
52
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:25,080
General Liu
53
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,200
Ou Zhen's group is a mechanized division
54
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,880
While the communist soldiers rely on their two legs
55
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,080
There's no way we're slower than them
56
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,880
If the Communist Army can do it
57
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:32,880
we can do it too
58
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,440
Idealistically, yes
59
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,640
but the reality is
60
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,800
The Communist Army has been planning this for a long time
61
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,600
I don't think we're ready
62
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:40,960
to fight this war of annihilation
63
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:42,360
Tell me your plan
64
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,640
Have Li Xianzhou's group deploy quickly
65
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,360
to break the seige
66
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:48,840
Have Ou Zhen's group on the Southern Front
67
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,240
move quickly north
68
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,880
The two groups will reunite first and then we'll make our plans
69
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,360
But then we will lose our chance
70
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,600
for a showdown with the Communist Army
71
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:01,720
Things were going
72
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,080
exactly according to the Communist Army's strategic plan
73
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,760
This encirclement in Laiwu
74
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,880
has the Kuomintang army in a difficult position
75
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,080
Liang Tong, following the organization's instructions
76
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,320
put forward a suggestion
77
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:15,880
Liang Tong knew very well
78
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,360
that he and Liu Feiyun's two proposals
79
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,800
were both very sound
80
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,000
It was the wavering between the two proposals
81
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,400
that was going to cause trouble for the National Army
82
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,680
Taking half a second longer in decision making
83
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,360
could mean defeat for the National Army
84
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,280
Shi Yang
85
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,800
What has you traveling so far out?
86
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,680
We could have come to you instead
87
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,000
I wanted to familiarize myself with the area too
88
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,040
Okay. We'll be visiting each other often
89
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,000
Next time, tell me so I can go pick you up
90
00:02:58,640 --> 00:02:59,760
Tong has gone to Xuzhou
91
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,800
He's not home
92
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,760
I can only come to you for help
93
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,520
Last time, with my father
94
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:05,640
we relied on General Wu's help
95
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:09,720
Mengxiang has also gone to the front in Shandong
96
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,520
I can't find him now
97
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:13,720
What can I do?
98
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,640
This time it's murder
99
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,320
much more serious than last time
100
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,840
Wasn't it a Japanese your father killed?
101
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,400
Yeah, a damned Japanese
102
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,480
But he was my father's instructor
103
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:28,480
and it-it's a big crime.
104
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,520
Masanobu Tsuji. I know that man
105
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,400
He's a Japanese war criminal
106
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,240
Do you think there's hope for father?
107
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:38,600
Stay calm
108
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,280
I'll think of something
109
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:42,600
Before father left
110
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:44,920
he signaled for me to seek Miss Melanie
111
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:46,880
But where can I find her?
112
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,440
So I thought of you
113
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,640
Melanie...I know how
114
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,160
Sister, I'm counting on you
115
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:58,520
I'll do my best
116
00:03:58,880 --> 00:03:59,760
Try not to worry
117
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,720
I'll let you go in first this time
118
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,280
I'm not gonna race you for the credit
119
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,760
I'm giving my men three more days of leave as a reward
120
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,360
That's how you treat your brother right
121
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:19,680
It's yours
122
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:22,760
It's from France
123
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,760
This time the Communist Army is still playing the same old game
124
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,000
Our three rescue troops from the Southern Front
125
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,800
will probably be ambushed
126
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,240
This is an old Communist tactic
127
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,800
We've never been afraid of it before
128
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,120
Yeah, you're not afraid alright
129
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,720
because here comes your chance for receiving a commendation
130
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,400
If I do get it this time
131
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:53,880
I'll buy you a drink
132
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,560
Bring Liang Tong and Pang Zhuping with you
133
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:56,960
Just a drink?
134
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,720
That's too cheap
135
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:01,760
What do you propose then?
136
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,320
You'll sing a Dan role in a Sichuan opera
137
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Hey! Get your commanding officer some medication
138
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:11,680
He's very sick
139
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,360
Let's go
140
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:36,840
Report!
141
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:37,880
An urgent telegram from Li Xianzhou in Laiwu
142
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:39,920
Speak
143
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,560
We have decided to start breaking out
144
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,040
Command Headquarters, Xuzhou
145
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,440
at 6 am on February 21
146
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,040
With no authorization!
147
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,240
The battle plan set by the Chairman
148
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,400
is not to be changed at will
149
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:54,440
Commander Gu
150
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,800
We've spoken with Vice Commander Li
151
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,800
He thinks the reinforcement route from the South
152
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,280
has been blocked by the Communist Army
153
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,800
So it's impossible for reinforcement to reach the expected location
154
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:03,600
The 77th Division of the 73rd Army
155
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,480
encountered an ambush by the Communist Army
156
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,040
on the way to Laiwu this afternoon
157
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,080
They lost most of their men
158
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,560
This proves that the Communist Army is very well prepared
159
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,480
If they don't break out of the encirclement soon
160
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,520
Li Xianzou's troops might be wiped out
161
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,960
They won't be able to secure the city
162
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,080
How do you know that before you even try?
163
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,120
The Communist Army is now clearly
164
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,640
in a position to close the siege
165
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,200
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
166
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,280
The Southern Front's three Ou Zhen Corps are going in for the rescue
167
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,440
It's only to be expected that they'll be blocked
168
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:35,760
Chen Sir, Gu Sir
169
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,560
Li's troops are running away before the battle is even fought
170
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,280
I'm afraid that on their way out
171
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,600
they'll still be attacked by the Communists' mobile forces
172
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,440
The moment we found out Linyi was an empty city
173
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,200
Li Xianzhou's group should have started deploying
174
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,440
towards the Southern Front
175
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,120
Let's not go there
176
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,320
Let's not dwell on the past
177
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,080
The operational plan was decided by the Chairman himself
178
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,000
Now the situation has changed
179
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,600
We need to come up with a response
180
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:04,880
The three reinforcements from the Southern Front
181
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,880
are being forcefully blocked by the Communists
182
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,240
They are unlikely to reach the intended location on time
183
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,440
Li Xianzhou is in serious danger
184
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,360
If we want to break out, we must do so without delay
185
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,760
We can't wait until tomorrow
186
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,040
If we delay for one second
187
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,480
The whole thing could be lost
188
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,240
But we can only break out in the morning
189
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,520
Linyi's defensive line is stretched too wide
190
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,560
It will take time to close in
191
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,840
Then it will be too late!
192
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,800
No matter the cost, the three reinforcements
193
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,080
must be at their intended location by tonight
194
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,840
to form an encirclement of the Communist Army
195
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,520
Anyone who fails to do so will be punished by the military justice
196
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,040
Order Li Xianzhou's group
197
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,280
to hold on to Laiwu at all costs
198
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:53,720
and wait for the arrival of reinforcements
199
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:54,320
Yes, sir
200
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,840
Liang Tong thought to himself
201
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,560
His actions should be aligned with the Central Committee's intention
202
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,360
Linyi Command Headquarter, Shandong
203
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,360
Linyi
204
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:29,720
Division Commander
205
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,040
Can we end our leave now?
206
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,020
Division Commander,
207
00:08:37,020 --> 00:08:38,800
the three southern troops are coming towards the north
208
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,080
My old superior Li Xianzhou
209
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,440
is in dire need of help
210
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,840
We've just won Linyi
211
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,320
Are you asking me to give up?
212
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,560
But the Communist Army is now targeting Li Xianzhou's corps
213
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:56,800
According to intelligence analysis
214
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,400
targeting Li Xianzhou's troops is a feint
215
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,320
Taking back Linyi is real
216
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,800
We're already surrounded
217
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:07,800
What...
218
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,240
Command Headquarter, Xuzhou
219
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,960
Move back and form a siege
220
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,480
Report! Urgent message from Wu Mengxiang in Linyi
221
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,400
Linyi is under siege
222
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,480
The 86th Reorganized Division is trapped
223
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:26,480
Requesting reinforcements
224
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,840
Is the Communist Army trying to take back Linyi?
225
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,800
Linyi is now an empty city
226
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,240
Does it make sense?
227
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:36,760
You're looking at it wrong
228
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,880
The capital of the liberated area of Shandong is Linyi
229
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:40,880
Linyi is political
230
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:43,840
We just made a lot of noise about capturing Linyi
231
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:44,760
And then we lost it
232
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,240
How can we explain this to the Chairman?
233
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,160
Sir
234
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,440
From a military point of view
235
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,560
We should let Wu Mengxiang's 86th Division
236
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,080
close ranks with the Ou Zhen corps
237
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:56,640
We should give up Linyi
238
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,480
I agree. Abandon Linyi
239
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,600
I think the 86th Reorganized Division
240
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,080
should hold on to Linyi
241
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,760
We can't get caught up in the Communist Army's mobile operation
242
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,560
I believe they are just bluffing
243
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,640
They don't really want to take back Linyi
244
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,040
What's your opinion?
245
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,880
I think we should consult the Chairman
246
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,160
Tell Wu Mengxiang to hold on to Linyi
247
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:28,960
and wait for the Chairman's instructions
248
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:29,960
Yes, sir
249
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:45,240
Read
250
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,040
Yes, sir
251
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:47,840
Chief of General Staff Chen called
252
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
We've been instructed to stand guard and wait for reinforcements
253
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:53,240
Report!
254
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:55,120
Oh, no
255
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,920
The north side has been attacked by the Communist Army
256
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,400
They have breached us
257
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,680
Our northward evacuation route has been cut off
258
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,120
We're isolated!
259
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,480
Order Liu Hucheng
260
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,720
Close that gap on the north
261
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,240
Do it or don't bother coming back!
262
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,080
Yes
263
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,640
General Chen wants us to
264
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,840
sacrifice the 86th Reorganized Division
265
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:24,840
to hold back the Ou Zhen corps
266
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,480
If the 86th Reorganized Division is wiped out
267
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,840
Everyone will think Linyi is the main battlefield
268
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,160
We just need to hold back Ou Zhen's corps
269
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,760
for the East China Field Army to gain
270
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,000
as much time as possible to close the siege
271
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,560
Report, urgent message from the President
272
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:51,800
Go
273
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:54,480
Linyi must be preserved
274
00:11:59,040 --> 00:11:59,760
That's all?
275
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:00,680
That's all
276
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:14,160
Linyi
277
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,760
Mr. Chiang is thinking of politics
278
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:25,520
Chen Sir
279
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,360
Should the three southern troops stop moving north
280
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:30,920
and go to Linyi's aid immediately?
281
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:39,520
Tell Wu Mengxiang:
282
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,080
Hang in there
283
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,560
I have confidence in the 86th Reorganized Division
284
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,160
I think the Communists are bluffing
285
00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:48,080
Yes, sir
286
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:57,760
How's it going?
287
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:58,880
They've all gone to defend the city
288
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:00,360
Only one platoon is guarding the division headquarter
289
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:01,120
We don't have enough men yet
290
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:02,560
I'll go in first and help you from inside
291
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:03,520
You have to move fast
292
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:04,160
to take out the guards
293
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:04,840
Alright
294
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,160
Take as many of the headquarter's men alive as possible
295
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:06,760
I understand
296
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:07,880
We'll stick to the plan
297
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:08,640
I'm counting on you now
298
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:09,720
Take out the division headquarter
299
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,200
Take the 86th Division out of command
300
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:12,240
Understood
301
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:31,680
What's the situation?
302
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:32,720
As previously decided
303
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,040
We'll wrap up the fight quickly
304
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,520
That's all we can do
305
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,280
Commander, retreat!
306
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:02,200
I'll cover you
307
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:03,200
Don't move!
308
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,400
You two, stand up!
309
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:09,600
Stand up
310
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:23,760
Sir, no!
311
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:24,800
Don't do it!
312
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,400
Linyi North Command Office, Shandong
313
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,080
The Communist Army is attacking hard
314
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,440
We are losing Linyi city
315
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:04,960
Get me the division headquarter on the line
316
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:05,640
I'm requesting reinforcements
317
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:06,080
Yes, sir
318
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:13,400
Hold on, everyone!
319
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:14,680
Help is on the way
320
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,120
We've lost contact with the division headquarter
321
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,840
The phones and radios are down
322
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,640
You're going to the headquarter yourself
323
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:21,800
Get me the division commander
324
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:22,280
Yes, sir
325
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:29,640
Report!
326
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:30,840
The Communist Army has launched a general attack on Linyi
327
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:32,320
Report!
328
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,440
After listening to the communist radio stations
329
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,000
we can confirm that they are putting their main force
330
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:37,080
on the attack of Linyi
331
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,240
Why is everyone silent?
332
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,960
Director Li, what do you think we should do?
333
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,920
Wu Mengxiang must hold Linyi
334
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:55,960
and wait for reinforcements
335
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:58,840
This is the Chairman's order
336
00:15:58,880 --> 00:15:59,720
No one is to disobey it
337
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:00,800
I mean right now
338
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,360
What do we do, right now?
339
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:03,680
Where's Wu Mengxiang?
340
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,280
Where's his division?
341
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,760
I'm afraid the odds are against Wu Mengxiang
342
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:16,720
Linyi is in danger
343
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,800
According to Li Xianzhou's telegram to us
344
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,360
He's not interested in holding out anymore
345
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,320
He's had a change of heart
346
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,240
He won't be able to hold on if he tried
347
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:30,640
If he wants to break out
348
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:32,800
It may not be too late
349
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,880
Have him move towards Ou Zhen's corps on the Southern Front
350
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,440
And then fight the Communists in Linyi
351
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:40,600
That's right
352
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,240
We can't give up on Linyi
353
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:43,760
We can't give up on Wu Mengxiang
354
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:45,720
But we can't break out now
355
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,640
The best time to break out
356
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,360
has passed
357
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,680
The Communists have probably completed the siege
358
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,720
It's better for Li Xianzhou to rely on position fighting in Laiwu City
359
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,920
than to be ambushed on the move
360
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,360
Linyi may well be a trap
361
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:06,960
So my opinion is
362
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:08,400
Li Xianzhou must now
363
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:09,800
hold on to Laiwu City
364
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,560
The three southern troops must advance north at all costs
365
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:13,480
The fight against the Communist Army's main force
366
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,800
in Laiwu City
367
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:16,240
is inevitable
368
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,840
You mean we'll ignore Linyi?
369
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:20,480
Yes, that's right
370
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,000
That's not what you said before
371
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,040
Situation has changed
372
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,360
Liu Feiyun was singing the opposite tune again
373
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,240
Liang Tong had to admire Liu Feiyun's
374
00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:38,160
reading of the battle situation
375
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:39,680
Liang Tong's aim then
376
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,920
was to make Chen Cheng waver
377
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:44,680
And Liu Feiyun's suggestion
378
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,640
had inadvertently helped Liang Tong
379
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,440
As long as Chen Cheng was wavering
380
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,500
the Communist Army would have a chance to annihilate
381
00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:51,560
Li Xianzhou's group
382
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:57,800
Take these two outside
383
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,440
I need to interrogate them alone
384
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:01,720
Keep a close eye on them
385
00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:02,760
Go
386
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:03,880
Let's go
387
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:05,080
Hurry up
388
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:16,760
You two, go on
389
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:24,320
There's food
390
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,000
I'm starving
391
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,440
Have some rest here
392
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:29,720
Wait for us to take Linyi
393
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:44,400
Report!
394
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:45,840
Linyi has been lost
395
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:47,120
The reconnaissance plane sent back a telegram
396
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:48,840
The Communist red flag
397
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,280
has been planted on Linyi's walls
398
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:51,640
Linyi
399
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,120
It's been Linyi all along
400
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:55,000
I told you
401
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,600
The Communist Army really did hit Linyi
402
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:01,800
They have enough strength
403
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,800
to take on the 86th Reorganized Division
404
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,680
but not enough to take on all of Li Xianzhou's troops
405
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,240
They don't have that kind of appetite
406
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:12,320
Orders
407
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:17,080
Three troops on the Southern Front, retreat to take back Linyi
408
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,040
Troops on the Northern Front, close ranks with the southern troops
409
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:20,320
Yes, sir
410
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:26,640
Yes, sir
411
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:56,680
What about the division headquarter?
412
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:57,840
It's been ambushed
413
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:58,680
And the divisional commander?
414
00:20:58,920 --> 00:20:59,760
He's been captured
415
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,120
Take me to find them
416
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,320
I want them dead or alive
417
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,560
Brothers, let's go save the division commander!
418
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:11,480
Let's go!
419
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:12,680
Let's go!
420
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,320
The sound of gunfire seems to have faded
421
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:18,800
We can go take a look now
422
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:21,720
General Chen told us to stay put
423
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:22,920
and avoid moving around
424
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,480
He said he'll have someone come to meet me
425
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:26,640
Okay
426
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,640
He's got an old injury. It might be coming back
427
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:41,840
What? Quick!
428
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:42,880
Get the paramedics
429
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,680
Okay, I'm going
430
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:02,720
Yangyang
431
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,040
Have you been ill
432
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,200
the past two days?
433
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,840
I don't feel well, I feel like throwing up
434
00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:19,200
Is it......
435
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,200
I don't know
436
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,200
Then you should go to the hospital for a check-up
437
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:31,720
No
438
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,240
I have an appointment with Miss Melanie today
439
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:35,040
Well
440
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,160
There's nothing more important than this
441
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:38,720
You can ask Miss Melanie
442
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:40,640
to meet you at the hospital
443
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:50,880
Tusikou
444
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:51,200
Shandong
445
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,160
A telegram from the reconnaissance plane
446
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,520
The Communist Army has captured Tusikouzhen
447
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:53,800
Communist Army
448
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:53,960
Li Xianzhou
449
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,440
The advance guard of Li Xianzhou's group
450
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:55,600
Gaojiawa
451
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,440
had just entered the Qincun-Gaojiawan area
452
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,800
when they were met with fierce enemy fire coming from Tusikouzhen
453
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:00,400
Mengyin
454
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:01,600
Communist troops have been spotted in the Mengyin region
455
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,080
They were stationed there probably to prevent Li Xianzhou's group
456
00:23:03,120 --> 00:23:03,880
from retreating to the southwest
457
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,080
The main Communist forces
458
00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:07,400
set up pocket positions on both sides of the road
459
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:08,360
all the way from Laiwu to Tusikouzhen
460
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:10,560
The Communist Army occupied the city of Laiwu
461
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:11,840
Laiwu
462
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,920
The rear of Li Xianzhou's group is completely cut off
463
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,920
Sir Chen, Linyi was a trap
464
00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:18,200
The Communists' objective is Li Xianzhou
465
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,800
Order Hu Ziqi's 11th Reorganized Division to retake Linyi
466
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,480
and have the Southern Front move north to provide rescue
467
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:23,160
Yes, sir
468
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:24,480
It's too late
469
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,280
The Communist Army has completed the siege
470
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:27,520
We had too many conflicting orders
471
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,160
We were defeated by indecision
472
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:43,960
Congratulations on your pregnancy
473
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:45,480
It's a normal pregnancy reaction
474
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,280
You are free to leave the hospital
475
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:48,960
But I would like to remind you
476
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,200
Keep your exercise to a minimum
477
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:51,200
Thank you
478
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:51,960
Thank you, Doctor
479
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:52,600
You're welcome.
480
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:54,880
That's great. Congratulations
481
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:55,560
Thank you so much
482
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:57,120
That's great
483
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,040
Why isn't my dad here yet?
484
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:01,360
He's been informed
485
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:02,640
He's on his way
486
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:03,680
Don't worry
487
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,920
Actually, he's more nervous than I am
488
00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:07,000
Of course he is
489
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:08,320
He's going to be a grandfather
490
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:09,560
Of course he's nervous
491
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:11,360
That's right
492
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,920
Is General Wu still at the front?
493
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,360
I'm worried about Mengxiang
494
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:20,880
Fighting the Communists
495
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:22,920
always makes me feel uneasy
496
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:26,600
Don't worry
497
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,520
The most important thing for you now is to take care of your health
498
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,440
Let me peel an orange for you
499
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,320
I have a favor to ask you
500
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:41,320
What is it?
501
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,600
General Zhou Yingkui killed a Japanese
502
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:48,800
He was arrested by Zeng Guangxi
503
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:49,720
A Japanese?
504
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:51,800
The Japanese man's name is Masanobu Tsuji
505
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,320
He was an instructor at the officer training camp
506
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,840
and also a Japanese war criminal wanted by the Americans
507
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,920
I know this Masanobu Tsuji
508
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:02,960
Please help General Zhou
509
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,360
I see
510
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:07,320
I'll look into
511
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:09,680
the training of Chinese officers by Japanese war criminals
512
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:35,840
Are you awake?
513
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:37,320
Just woke up
514
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:39,960
How's it going?
515
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,320
There's a bullet lodged next to his heart
516
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:43,760
When he gets too emotional
517
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:45,480
his heart takes the pressure
518
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:47,880
Can't the bullet be removed first?
519
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,600
That-that's a difficult operation
520
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:54,520
You go ahead and work
521
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,040
Staff Officer Chen
522
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,000
this guy must be a senior Kuomintang officer
523
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:08,080
Doctor Li
524
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:09,640
Don't pry
525
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,320
This is a sensitive matter
526
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,280
General Chen himself gave the order
527
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,680
forbidding anyone to have contact with these two
528
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:17,960
Do you understand?
529
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,760
Do not talk to anyone about the situation here
530
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,040
This is the highest level of command
531
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:24,520
Go on
532
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,040
This is it.
533
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:57,680
Search the place
534
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,720
Adjutant Ma Xiaoyong must be a communist undercover agent
535
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,360
I saw him kill two of our staff officers with my own eyes
536
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:07,240
In that case
537
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,720
Wu Mengxiang was framed by his adjutant
538
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:11,920
I think they're in cahoots
539
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,880
Can you swear that upon your life?
540
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:18,480
I...
541
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,840
Don't talk without proof
542
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:27,960
It's a grave matter
543
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,640
If anyone makes any more unwarranted accusations
544
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,400
I'll personally rip their mouth off
545
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,360
Ma Xiaoyong must be
546
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:37,680
I'd bet my life on it
547
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:42,160
There's no one in there
548
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:42,840
They've all moved
549
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,680
The East China Field Army's two regiments, East and West
550
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,760
launched a centripetal assault on Li Xianzhou's group
551
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,800
adopting a cut-through and split tactic
552
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,440
After five hours of battle
553
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,400
They were able to annihilate Li Xianzhou's group completely
554
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:01,880
The Battle of Lunan
555
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,280
under the unified leadership of the Party Central Committee
556
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,440
was a heroic victory
557
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:07,760
achieved through the interplay
558
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,320
of military struggle and intelligence work
559
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:10,880
The victory of the Battle of Lunan
560
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,640
set the stage for a much larger campaign
561
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:14,640
of mobile warfare
562
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,880
and wars of annihilation
563
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,240
60,000 men
564
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,280
All gone in five hours
565
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:23,800
Breakout
566
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,120
Who told them to break out?
567
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,840
Who gave that order?
568
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,360
Wang Yaowu did
569
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,720
It was approved by General He Yingqin
570
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:35,960
Who's in charge?
571
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,200
Who's in charge exactly?
572
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,640
Anyone could take command
573
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,320
There were too many people in command
574
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,160
That's the situation
575
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:55,680
Sirs
576
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,440
Hu Ziqi has taken Linyi back
577
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:00,880
We should......
578
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,720
How can you even talk about that?
579
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:05,800
Didn't I tell you before?
580
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,640
Linyi was a trap
581
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,840
Go and film all the evidence
582
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:21,560
Shi Jihong Residence, Nanjing
583
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,200
Shi Yang doesn't know about Mengxiang yet, does she?
584
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,960
We'll talk here. Sit down
585
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:27,720
Shi Yang is pregnant
586
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:30,040
Shi Yang is pregnant?
587
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,680
I haven't had the chance to celebrate
588
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,160
before Mengxiang's bad news came
589
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:40,440
Sir...
590
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,960
General Hu Ziqi and Director Zeng Guangxi have arrived
591
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:48,360
Invite them in
592
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:49,080
Yes, sir
593
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:55,560
Gentlemen
594
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,040
Sir
595
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:04,240
Sir
596
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:05,680
Come, have a seat
597
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,960
Sir, it's chilly today
598
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,840
Why are you sitting outside?
599
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:12,600
Shi Yang is pregnant
600
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,400
She's resting so as to not agitate the baby
601
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,360
We can talk here without disturbing her
602
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:18,240
Come, sit down
603
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,960
Good, that's a good thing
604
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:20,760
Yes, it is
605
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,480
As soon as something happened to Mengxiang
606
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:27,320
you're all here
607
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,560
You have an admirable friendship
608
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,960
We'll talk about Mengxiang right here
609
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:36,720
When you see Shi Yang later
610
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:38,760
don't say a word
611
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,480
Could Director Zeng tell us about the situation, please?
612
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:49,920
Sir
613
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,720
Mengxiang is likely to have escaped
614
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,160
The list of war prisoners released by the Communists
615
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:58,840
did not include Mengxiang's name
616
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,440
And if the Communists really did capture Mengxiang
617
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,720
they would have made a big deal out of it
618
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,280
But we haven't heard anything
619
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,680
Let's hope he makes it back to Nanjing
620
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,520
The child can't be without a father
621
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,280
I don't think the situation is that bleak
622
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,000
Mengxiang's adjutant is a Communist
623
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,880
I believe Mengxiang was tricked
624
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,040
It's quite possible
625
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,600
I'm investigating this too
626
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:36,320
Some people
627
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,440
just love passing the buck
628
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,880
They put all the blame on Mengxiang
629
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:43,440
to protect themselves
630
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,200
I've just met with Director Zeng
631
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:54,880
He told me not to worry
632
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,040
He said my father is doing well inside
633
00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,080
He even assured me
634
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,560
that father would be home in a couple of days
635
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,680
See? I told you not to worry
636
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,040
Here, have an apple
637
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,400
Are you finding me annoying, coming here all the time?
638
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:18,920
Of course not, sister
639
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,800
I'm bored and alone at home
640
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,440
They're constantly checking up on me
641
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,360
"Musn't agitate the baby"
642
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,080
You're not that young anymore
643
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:29,680
It's only right to be careful
644
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,720
Don't you worry about me
645
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:33,840
What about you?
646
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,200
You're a few years older
647
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,120
and you still haven't given birth
648
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,560
Don't you want a child?
649
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:42,800
I already have two
650
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:44,560
Little Stone and Little Lan
651
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,080
How are things between you and Liang Tong?
652
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:53,800
There's been a lot going on at home lately
653
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,160
Mrs. Yang just passed away
654
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,040
My father's in prison again
655
00:33:58,560 --> 00:33:59,920
I don't have time to think about that
656
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:01,680
It'll be fine
657
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:03,720
Ms. Shi
658
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,360
This is the soup Ms. Xiugu brought for you
659
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:07,480
Drink it while it's hot
660
00:34:08,240 --> 00:34:09,000
Come on
661
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,280
I've simmered it for hours
662
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,120
Sister, you're going to make me fat
663
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,120
What if Mengxiang comes home to find me looking like a little pig?
664
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:19,680
Hu Ziqi is back already
665
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,280
When is General Wu coming back?
666
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:24,560
I'll go to work tomorrow
667
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,600
I'll find out for myself where
668
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:27,680
they've hidden Mengxiang
669
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:31,440
Drink the soup
670
00:34:32,720 --> 00:34:33,320
Come on, now
671
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,120
Auntie! Auntie!
672
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:47,520
My brother bullied me
673
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,280
I didn't hit you. I didn't bully you
674
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,560
Little Stone, don't bully your sister
675
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:52,680
I didn't even hit you
676
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,080
But you did!
677
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:54,960
Did not!
678
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:07,720
Tong
679
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,040
Liang Tong
680
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:17,560
Mengxiang!
681
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:18,240
Give me a hand
682
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:23,440
Let me see
683
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:26,200
I thought I'd never see you again in my life
684
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,160
You wouldn't get a penny of my legacy even if I died
685
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,040
Does Shi Yang know you're back?
686
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:32,520
I'm starving
687
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:33,360
Make me some food
688
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:35,120
Come on, dig in
689
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:38,360
So hungry
690
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:49,120
Don't you want some?
691
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:50,800
What's your plan?
692
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:53,880
No one knows I'm back
693
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,080
I'll hide out with you for the night
694
00:35:56,240 --> 00:35:57,080
I'm going to see the Commandant tomorrow
695
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:58,680
To see the Commandant?
696
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:01,760
That's a dangerous move
697
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:03,920
Aren't you afraid of being held responsible?
698
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,280
I'm totally loyal to the Commandant. I've got nothing to fear
699
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:07,560
You'll be investigated
700
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,480
Do you know why I had the confidence to come back?
701
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:12,680
No, I don't
702
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:14,640
There's already so much infighting
703
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:16,880
Gu Zhutong complains that Chen Cheng
704
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,360
disregarded the advice of his superiors
705
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:20,120
and went over his rank to give command
706
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,400
Chen Cheng, on the other hand, complains that He Yingqing
707
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:23,880
gave Wang Yaowu orders indiscriminately
708
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:24,760
interfering with his command
709
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,680
While Bai Chongxi complains that Chen Cheng and Gu Zhutong
710
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,600
sacrificed the Guangxi Clique
711
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:30,360
because they left Li Xianzhou's group to die
712
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:31,840
I know all this
713
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:33,440
No, you don't
714
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:37,760
All these were the orders of the Commandant
715
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,640
The Commandant instructed Chief Chen to hold on
716
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:43,640
and he instructed He Yingqin to break out
717
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:45,720
He Yingqin had consulted the Commandant
718
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,480
before giving Wang Yaowu the order to break the siege
719
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,160
That means the Commandant is to blame
720
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,560
Anyone who pursues this is asking for trouble
721
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,800
No one would dare to hold the Commandant responsible
722
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,480
But the Commandant likes to see them trying to pin it on each other
723
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,040
I came back now
724
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,480
to cause a bit of trouble and confusion
725
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:06,520
I will be fine
726
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:07,800
But I just need to see the Commandant first
727
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:13,600
After you see the Commandant tomorrow
728
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,160
Go home to Shi Yang
729
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,080
She's worried sick
730
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,360
I'll ask Xiugu to call her in advance
731
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:22,760
She has something to tell you
732
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:23,640
What is it?
733
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,120
She can tell you herself
734
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:27,520
Being secretive, huh?
735
00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:30,800
How's that Strategic Planning Department of yours?
736
00:37:31,720 --> 00:37:33,960
Liu Feiyun lodged a complaint against Li Xiaoru
737
00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:36,040
He said he missed a war opportunity and didn't know how to command
738
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:37,720
Chief Chen wants to dismiss him
739
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:38,920
and the Commandant has agreed
740
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,000
My guess is that the chief's post at the Strategic Planning Department
741
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,120
is in Li Feiyun's hands now
742
00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:44,880
I'll give him the help he needs
743
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,240
This is a much tougher guy than Li Xiaoru
744
00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:50,640
You can lodge a complaint against him too, you know?
745
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,080
I'm telling you, the more chaos, the better
746
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:54,640
We can only win when there's chaos
747
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:55,810
You'll get your position as chief
748
00:37:55,810 --> 00:37:57,080
of the Strategic Planning Department back
749
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:57,960
Me? A complaint against him?
750
00:37:58,600 --> 00:37:59,880
I got no reason to complain
751
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:00,760
Reason?
752
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,360
I'll give you a great reason
753
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:07,040
Yeah
754
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:08,520
Say he's a Communist
755
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:10,280
He originally proposed
756
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,240
for the northern troops to break out and retreat south, didn't he?
757
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:14,280
That would land our troops right inside
758
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:15,080
the Communist Army's pocket formation
759
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:16,640
Isn't that exactly
760
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:17,560
what happened in the end?
761
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:19,840
That's true
762
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:22,840
There's no such thing as a coincidence
763
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,520
He could only have set it up
764
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:31,920
You know what?
765
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,680
You do make better noodles than me
766
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:34,640
Get me another bowl
767
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:36,040
You're so good at ordering me around
768
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,750
Mengxiang cleverly conveyed the latest instructions
769
00:38:38,750 --> 00:38:39,960
from the Party organization
770
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,240
to Liang Tong
771
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,600
The Americans have all the evidence
772
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,320
Fortunately, they agreed not to release it to the public
773
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,520
On the condition that we
774
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,160
try these Japanese?
775
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:05,040
Yes
776
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,400
The Commandant had no choice but to say yes
777
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,440
So going through the motions seems inevitable
778
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,880
We'll just have to see what happens
779
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,480
The CPC is getting more brazen
780
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,480
We need to update our understanding of them
781
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:26,360
These Japanese officers
782
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:28,480
have a lot of experience
783
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,440
in dealing with the Communists
784
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,480
That makes them our invaluable asset
785
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,640
We need to do everything we can to keep them
786
00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:41,160
The Americans are still looking for Zhou Yingkui
787
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,200
They want to investigate the Masanobu Tsuji case
788
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:46,960
We mustn't let them find him
789
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:48,400
Hide him away quick
790
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,320
The case of Zhou Yingkui's attack on Masanobu Tsuji
791
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:53,720
cannot go to court
792
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,640
If the press gets involved, it'll be a big deal
793
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,520
Having Japanese as instructors...
794
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,440
If this gets out to the public
795
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:04,440
we'd be in a bad position
796
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,240
Zhou Yingkui is a lieutenant general
797
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:13,240
It would be inappropriate to execute him in secret
798
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:16,240
What do you propose we do?
799
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,840
House arrest can't go on forever, either
800
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:22,200
How about this?
801
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,040
We'll let him go first
802
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:26,960
Have him lie low in Sichuan
803
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,120
Make sure he keeps his mouth shut
804
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,280
Or he'll be silenced
805
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,320
I'll take care of that
806
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:39,560
By the way
807
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,240
There's one more thing I want you to do
808
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,800
Go and find Wu Mengxiang for me
809
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:52,280
He's a most formidable enemy
810
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:54,640
So deeply embedded
811
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,480
right next to Mr. Chiang for so many years
812
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,520
Find him and bring him to justice
813
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:07,120
You mean
814
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,240
Wu Mengxiang is a Communist?
815
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,000
Isn't it obvious?
816
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,240
His adjutant is a Communist
817
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,200
They spend every day together
818
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,880
He's not one to be tricked or manipulated by an adjutant
819
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,960
I think he's a Communist himself
820
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:27,240
Are you certain that Wu Mengxiang is a Communist?
821
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:28,320
I'm sure53565
