00:03:00,625 --> 00:03:05,874
ASSEMBLY

4
00:03:15,834 --> 00:03:18,624
Our brothers of the
Nationalists' 168th Division.

5
00:03:18,709 --> 00:03:21,499
This is Captain Gu Zidi of the 139th
Regiment, 3rd Battalion, 9th Company.

6
00:03:21,584 --> 00:03:24,583
The Special 2nd Division
of the Liberation Army.

7
00:03:24,667 --> 00:03:27,624
On behalf of my company,
I'd like to greet you.

8
00:03:27,709 --> 00:03:29,999
You are completely surrounded.

9
00:03:30,084 --> 00:03:33,666
If you keep fighting,
you won't like how things end up.

10
00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:36,749
We offer you two choices.

11
00:03:36,834 --> 00:03:40,833
You can get bullets
or maybe you'd prefer dumplings.

12
00:03:41,875 --> 00:03:43,874
We can keep the bullets coming.

13
00:03:43,959 --> 00:03:48,458
If you have had enough,
trade in your weapons for chopsticks.

14
00:03:48,542 --> 00:03:51,249
Sit down with your brothers here
in the 9th company.

15
00:03:51,334 --> 00:03:53,041
We can all eat dumplings.

16
00:03:57,292 --> 00:04:01,833
Gu, quit the bullshit.
Let's move in.

17
00:04:02,084 --> 00:04:03,166
Wait.

18
00:04:03,250 --> 00:04:05,458
They're already cooking in a pot.
What's the hurry?

19
00:04:05,792 --> 00:04:07,416
Captain, something doesn't look right.

20
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:08,749
Have they already retreated?

21
00:04:08,834 --> 00:04:11,958
The battalion ordered a hasty attack.
What are we waiting for?

22
00:04:13,125 --> 00:04:15,958
- Jiao.
- Coming.

23
00:04:19,625 --> 00:04:23,458
Take six men and get a closer look.
Find them six helmets.

24
00:04:28,834 --> 00:04:29,874
Smoke grenade.

25
00:04:35,375 --> 00:04:36,583
Jiang.

26
00:04:47,292 --> 00:04:48,333
Go.

27
00:07:08,459 --> 00:07:11,541
Take cover.
Take cover.

28
00:07:19,542 --> 00:07:20,583
Up there...

29
00:07:32,292 --> 00:07:34,458
- Give me your hand.
- Pull me up.

30
00:07:35,334 --> 00:07:36,624
Help me!

31
00:07:45,625 --> 00:07:46,666
Jiang.

32
00:07:47,834 --> 00:07:52,416
Jiang, take out those two up there.

33
00:08:22,250 --> 00:08:24,624
- How many are there?
- I don't know.

34
00:08:29,542 --> 00:08:33,541
- Cease fire!
- Cease fire!

35
00:08:34,625 --> 00:08:37,124
Help the wounded. Hurry!

36
00:08:37,209 --> 00:08:38,541
- Covering fire.
- Medic.

37
00:08:38,625 --> 00:08:41,874
- Hurry.
- I'm going to die, save me.

38
00:08:41,959 --> 00:08:45,333
- Hurry up.
- Slowly...slowly.

39
00:08:45,417 --> 00:08:46,874
Hurry up.

40
00:08:50,209 --> 00:08:52,208
Get the bandages, hurry.

41
00:08:54,250 --> 00:08:55,291
Hang in there man.

42
00:08:55,375 --> 00:08:59,499
- OK. Hurry up.
- Move him.

43
00:08:59,584 --> 00:09:01,791
First platoon.
Follow me.

44
00:09:01,875 --> 00:09:04,166
Second Platoon.
Protect the flanks.

45
00:09:04,584 --> 00:09:07,999
Don't bunch up. Spread out.
Keep spreading out.

46
00:09:08,084 --> 00:09:09,458
Keep up.

47
00:09:16,125 --> 00:09:18,874
There's lightning.
Get down, take cover.

48
00:09:21,042 --> 00:09:22,666
Fall back.

49
00:09:28,375 --> 00:09:31,624
Captain Gu.

50
00:09:35,542 --> 00:09:37,458
Get down, get down.

51
00:09:40,250 --> 00:09:43,749
Everyone get down, don't run around.

52
00:09:43,834 --> 00:09:45,833
Get down.

53
00:09:48,042 --> 00:09:52,166
- Get up. We've been ambushed.
- Take cover.

54
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,541
Get down.

55
00:10:13,750 --> 00:10:16,624
Second platoon, attack.
Reinforce first platoon.

56
00:10:16,709 --> 00:10:19,291
Third platoon, save the wounded.
Leave the dead.

57
00:10:19,417 --> 00:10:23,083
- Tend the wounded first.
- Luo, get on the roof.

58
00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:32,833
Lu and Jiang.

59
00:10:37,375 --> 00:10:39,958
Stop cowering. Let's go.

60
00:10:41,417 --> 00:10:43,541
- Bring up the heavy weapons.
- Yes, sir.

61
00:10:45,584 --> 00:10:46,624
Follow me.

62
00:10:54,584 --> 00:10:55,749
Get down.

63
00:10:56,292 --> 00:10:57,833
On the ground.
Get down.

64
00:10:57,917 --> 00:10:58,958
Move in, now!

65
00:11:11,542 --> 00:11:14,249
Get the machine gun.
No one move.

66
00:11:38,584 --> 00:11:41,124
Gu, set up a base of fire.

67
00:11:41,209 --> 00:11:43,999
Send in the assault forces.
We're pinned down.

68
00:11:44,084 --> 00:11:48,208
The enemy has artillery.
Let the troops regroup.

69
00:11:48,292 --> 00:11:51,041
How can we stop now?
l disagree.

70
00:11:51,125 --> 00:11:53,333
I am the captain. I'm in charge.

71
00:11:53,417 --> 00:11:56,708
That is cowardly behavior.
I won't let that happen.

72
00:12:10,375 --> 00:12:13,458
Are you moving in or not?
I'm going in anyway.

73
00:12:13,542 --> 00:12:15,083
What for?

74
00:12:15,167 --> 00:12:17,833
If you want to get yourself killed,
no one can stop you.

75
00:12:34,959 --> 00:12:36,374
Political Officer!

76
00:12:45,042 --> 00:12:46,166
Hurry.

77
00:13:01,875 --> 00:13:05,458
Brothers. Attack!

78
00:13:10,334 --> 00:13:11,833
Political Officer!

79
00:13:20,959 --> 00:13:21,999
Captain.

80
00:13:25,667 --> 00:13:28,666
Don't shoot, we surrender.

81
00:13:28,750 --> 00:13:31,208
We surrender, don't shoot.

82
00:13:31,292 --> 00:13:32,749
Don't shoot.

83
00:13:34,209 --> 00:13:35,458
The enemy has surrendered.

84
00:13:37,084 --> 00:13:38,833
Let them pick up their weapons.

85
00:13:39,750 --> 00:13:41,624
No surrender accepted.

86
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,999
Pick up your weapons.

87
00:14:04,375 --> 00:14:06,958
No one move.
No one move!

88
00:14:11,459 --> 00:14:14,624
Luo, what are you waiting for?

89
00:14:19,042 --> 00:14:20,499
Fire!

90
00:14:21,417 --> 00:14:23,041
They have already surrendered.

91
00:14:27,959 --> 00:14:32,583
Jiang.
Jiang. Fire.

92
00:14:33,125 --> 00:14:35,166
Jiang, you cannot kill POWs.

93
00:14:35,250 --> 00:14:38,083
Stop pretending to be a saint.

94
00:14:38,167 --> 00:14:41,666
The Political Officer was blown apart.

95
00:14:56,292 --> 00:14:59,249
Harder. Harder.

96
00:15:02,375 --> 00:15:05,291
Those in the back, keep up.
Harder.

97
00:15:15,917 --> 00:15:19,958
Including the wounded, anyone who
was not carried away by stretcher,

98
00:15:20,042 --> 00:15:22,208
we still have forty six men left.

99
00:15:23,125 --> 00:15:26,958
A hundred seventeen minus forty six.

100
00:15:28,917 --> 00:15:31,333
Our company lost seventy one men.

101
00:15:34,792 --> 00:15:38,958
Get me a casualty list.
Report the final count. On the double.

102
00:15:40,542 --> 00:15:45,291
Fight a battle, report a funeral.
Don't keep making me do this.

103
00:15:46,375 --> 00:15:48,166
You are the only one who can read.

104
00:15:51,917 --> 00:15:53,833
The Political Officer is gone.

105
00:15:55,375 --> 00:15:57,124
Who else is there?

106
00:16:08,375 --> 00:16:13,083
The Nationalists have good uniforms,
but their fighting is not up to snuff.

107
00:16:16,584 --> 00:16:19,458
We found a wheel. See if it fits.

108
00:16:22,084 --> 00:16:26,416
The 7th Company found three howitzers.
Two ten-wheelers.

109
00:16:27,125 --> 00:16:30,291
All we find is a small, crippled mountain gun.

110
00:16:30,375 --> 00:16:33,583
Bite your tongues. Feel the pain?

111
00:16:33,667 --> 00:16:38,041
That means you are still alive.
What is the use of all these metal scraps?

112
00:16:40,084 --> 00:16:41,666
In our last battle,

113
00:16:41,750 --> 00:16:44,833
the 3rd battalion's 9th company
fought bravely without giving up.

114
00:16:44,917 --> 00:16:49,583
They suffered heavy casualties.
We were going to commend them.

115
00:16:50,084 --> 00:16:55,041
But Captain Gu Zidi
ordered the POWs shot,

116
00:16:55,125 --> 00:16:57,874
and stole their uniforms.

117
00:16:57,959 --> 00:17:02,624
He disobeyed army discipline
and disgraced our entire regiment.

118
00:17:03,250 --> 00:17:04,958
The Division Commander has ordered us

119
00:17:05,042 --> 00:17:10,249
to punish him for his misconduct.

120
00:17:10,334 --> 00:17:13,374
Therefore, the regiment's Party
leadership has decided

121
00:17:13,459 --> 00:17:16,874
to punish all those involved accordingly.

122
00:17:16,959 --> 00:17:20,208
Firstly, the 9th Company's troops
are to be transferred.

123
00:17:20,292 --> 00:17:23,916
Captain Gu Zidi's forty six men will all
move to the regiment's Advanced Guard

124
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,499
until further instruction.

125
00:17:26,125 --> 00:17:29,124
Secondly, Captain Gu Zidi,
of the 9th Company

126
00:17:29,209 --> 00:17:31,958
is to be punished for his mistake accordingly.

127
00:17:32,042 --> 00:17:33,666
He's to be locked up for three days...

128
00:17:40,584 --> 00:17:41,958
Captain Gu.

129
00:17:48,584 --> 00:17:51,749
Have something to eat.
The food is getting cold.

130
00:17:54,875 --> 00:18:00,124
You know when I last had a bed under me?
I am having the ball of my life.

131
00:18:00,959 --> 00:18:03,249
Food can wait.

132
00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:14,374
I guess l caught up on my rest.

133
00:18:14,459 --> 00:18:17,833
This is the best I've felt
since joining the battalion.

134
00:18:20,084 --> 00:18:24,083
This barn is huge.
How much grain can it hold?

135
00:18:24,417 --> 00:18:26,999
What a waste locking us up in here.

136
00:18:30,875 --> 00:18:32,499
What's your name?

137
00:18:35,209 --> 00:18:37,874
- Wang Jincun.
- What's yourjob?

138
00:18:37,959 --> 00:18:39,999
I was a teacher.

139
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,791
You were busy writing when I first got here.
You were still writing when I woke up.

140
00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:49,333
- What are you writing?
- A letter home.

141
00:18:49,417 --> 00:18:51,458
To your wife?

142
00:18:55,125 --> 00:18:59,541
And this?
Did your wife knit it? Huh?

143
00:19:00,042 --> 00:19:01,583
Yes.

144
00:19:03,750 --> 00:19:07,208
I heard them say
a teacher in the 1st Battalion

145
00:19:07,292 --> 00:19:10,708
pissed in his pants in battle
and he was disciplined.

146
00:19:10,792 --> 00:19:12,624
Are you the one?

147
00:19:15,917 --> 00:19:17,083
No? Not you?

148
00:19:19,542 --> 00:19:23,458
Who cares if it is?
All you did was pee.

149
00:19:24,625 --> 00:19:26,749
That's better than getting killed.

150
00:19:30,250 --> 00:19:33,833
Bullets flying everywhere.
Grenades exploding down your pants.

151
00:19:35,542 --> 00:19:37,833
Even a god would pee.

152
00:19:52,625 --> 00:19:56,083
Don't get the wrong idea.

153
00:19:56,167 --> 00:19:58,124
Moving you to the front.

154
00:19:58,209 --> 00:20:00,458
It's not part of the punishment.
It shows our trust in you.

155
00:20:01,584 --> 00:20:04,833
I've seen the old mine battlefield.
The location is good.

156
00:20:05,292 --> 00:20:08,291
It's much higher than the north bank.

157
00:20:08,375 --> 00:20:11,999
They won't be able to see our movement.

158
00:20:12,125 --> 00:20:14,083
We'll get the upper hand by securing it.

159
00:20:16,500 --> 00:20:20,666
We planned to transfer two companies
from the 2nd Battalion.

160
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:24,666
But now,
the defensive area has expanded.

161
00:20:25,667 --> 00:20:27,624
I can't spare the troops.

162
00:20:30,834 --> 00:20:32,291
Are you following?

163
00:20:36,209 --> 00:20:38,708
Say something.

164
00:20:45,917 --> 00:20:47,374
Damn delicious.

165
00:20:52,542 --> 00:20:56,166
Look. Only girls wear down
their shoes here.

166
00:20:56,250 --> 00:21:00,958
- When will you learn to walk like a man?
- Stop messing around.

167
00:21:01,084 --> 00:21:06,583
Tell me what you need.
I'll do whatever I can. What you want?

168
00:21:07,709 --> 00:21:09,249
In that case,

169
00:21:11,375 --> 00:21:16,208
I don't have enough artillery.
I need Maxim machine guns.

170
00:21:18,750 --> 00:21:20,333
I'll...

171
00:21:20,417 --> 00:21:24,833
give you two machine guns
and three thousand rounds.

172
00:21:26,584 --> 00:21:31,374
I want to keep that mountain gun.
Shells are hard to find.

173
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:35,999
The quartermaster will check.
You can take whatever he finds.

174
00:21:37,417 --> 00:21:41,749
My troops are good in the trenches,
especially with explosives.

175
00:21:41,834 --> 00:21:43,916
You've got to let me take all l want.

176
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,291
Go ahead.
Take as much as you can carry.

177
00:21:49,792 --> 00:21:53,041
I don't have enough men.
Give me thirty more.

178
00:21:54,334 --> 00:21:55,583
No way.

179
00:21:56,292 --> 00:21:58,916
After all, I'm the provisional captain
of the advanced guards.

180
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,124
- How about twenty more men?
- No way.

181
00:22:01,209 --> 00:22:04,166
Five? That's not a lot to ask.

182
00:22:05,334 --> 00:22:10,166
The regiment's troops are all deployed.
I can't spare a single man.

183
00:22:10,584 --> 00:22:13,666
Gu, there really are no men left.

184
00:22:13,750 --> 00:22:16,791
The Colonel's bodyguard is dead
and there is no replacement.

185
00:22:16,875 --> 00:22:20,208
I now serve as the Bugler and his bodyguard.

186
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,916
- It's the truth.
- Fine.

187
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,333
Then just give me one person.
I need a Political Officer.

188
00:22:31,042 --> 00:22:34,958
You've only got half a company.
What you need a Political Officer for?

189
00:22:36,125 --> 00:22:39,624
In the last battle,
if the Political Officer hadn't died,

190
00:22:40,459 --> 00:22:42,708
I wouldn't have made that mistake.

191
00:22:46,167 --> 00:22:50,291
Now you know.
You can be your own Political Officer.

192
00:22:53,084 --> 00:22:54,124
Can we...

193
00:22:54,709 --> 00:22:59,916
keep the helmets and boots
we took from the POWs?

194
00:23:00,709 --> 00:23:01,958
What?

195
00:23:07,125 --> 00:23:08,624
Okay, keep them.

196
00:23:09,167 --> 00:23:12,208
Liangzi, get the stuff for him.

197
00:23:14,042 --> 00:23:16,374
Liangzi, what are the goodies?

198
00:23:18,292 --> 00:23:20,916
Yellow Dragon cigarettes.
The Colonel won't even smoke them himself.

199
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,666
Why is there only half a carton left?

200
00:23:25,167 --> 00:23:26,791
Give the rest to him.

201
00:23:30,334 --> 00:23:34,041
You're always so stingy.
Giving half a pack at best.

202
00:23:34,584 --> 00:23:36,166
What's so special this time?

203
00:23:38,334 --> 00:23:39,374
Gu,

204
00:23:40,917 --> 00:23:45,208
how many of us are left?
l mean from the old guerilla unit?

205
00:23:47,500 --> 00:23:52,291
You. Me. Anyone else?

206
00:24:00,292 --> 00:24:04,499
Okay.
Have the troops get ready on the double.

207
00:24:04,584 --> 00:24:07,999
The defensive position
has already been built by the 2nd Battalion.

208
00:24:08,875 --> 00:24:11,749
You...
take good care of yourself.

209
00:24:12,209 --> 00:24:14,374
I have one last request.

210
00:24:15,459 --> 00:24:18,541
I'll find myself a Political Officer.
You can't say no.

211
00:24:18,625 --> 00:24:20,958
I want my cellmate.

212
00:24:21,084 --> 00:24:24,624
He'd be shot anyway.
He might as well die in battle.

213
00:24:26,167 --> 00:24:31,666
Liangzi, that bent up bugle
dangling on your butt. Is it busted?

214
00:24:34,209 --> 00:24:36,666
No, it is fine.

215
00:24:36,750 --> 00:24:38,999
You better blow as hard as you can.

216
00:24:39,084 --> 00:24:42,208
Don't worry.
You've heard my bugle call before.

217
00:24:42,292 --> 00:24:44,624
My ears are already wide open.

218
00:24:46,125 --> 00:24:48,041
Repeat the orders.

219
00:24:50,625 --> 00:24:53,249
By tomorrow twelve noon,
no matter what it takes,

220
00:24:53,334 --> 00:24:55,458
we must secure the old mine
on the southern bank.

221
00:24:55,542 --> 00:24:56,916
What else?

222
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,499
Always listen...
for the assembly bugle call.

223
00:24:59,625 --> 00:25:00,916
Fall back whenever we hear it.

224
00:25:02,959 --> 00:25:04,458
If you don't hear the bugle call,

225
00:25:04,542 --> 00:25:09,249
even if you're the last man standing,
you will keep fighting.

226
00:25:10,417 --> 00:25:11,374
Yes, sir.

227
00:26:14,417 --> 00:26:18,874
In this open area,
it's impossible to last even four hours.

228
00:26:21,167 --> 00:26:24,166
- Move the small canon to the rear for now.
- Yes, sir.

229
00:26:28,459 --> 00:26:29,999
Push harder.

230
00:26:39,125 --> 00:26:41,958
- Get two more people here.
- Put them inside.

231
00:26:42,042 --> 00:26:43,583
Put them all inside.

232
00:26:43,667 --> 00:26:47,833
lf a shell lands on them,
we'd all be gone.

233
00:26:47,917 --> 00:26:51,916
- Put them inside.
- Bring more bags here.

234
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,333
Pack it in real tight.

235
00:26:53,417 --> 00:26:55,541
- lt's for your own protection.
- Yes, sir.

236
00:26:59,250 --> 00:27:00,999
- Pack it in real tight.
- Yes, sir.

237
00:27:03,667 --> 00:27:06,124
Hey, Lu,
how many times have I told you?

238
00:27:06,209 --> 00:27:09,041
Don't tie it straight.
You have to tie it at an angle.

239
00:27:09,125 --> 00:27:11,458
Wrap it around twice
as tightly as you can.

240
00:27:11,542 --> 00:27:13,416
- Got it?
- Lieutenant.

241
00:27:13,500 --> 00:27:16,708
Last time we tied it at an angle.

242
00:27:16,792 --> 00:27:20,749
They ended up not flying straight.
They landed on the 5th Company.

243
00:27:20,834 --> 00:27:24,458
No shit? Why wasn't I told?

244
00:27:27,334 --> 00:27:29,999
Jerk, I'll kill you.

245
00:27:30,834 --> 00:27:33,583
Look. These make obvious targets.

246
00:27:33,667 --> 00:27:35,958
Gather everyone together.
Place them like you're supposed to.

247
00:27:36,042 --> 00:27:39,791
- Make sure they're twenty paces apart.
- No, not this time.

248
00:27:39,875 --> 00:27:42,916
- Put three in front and three in back.
- Captain.

249
00:27:43,334 --> 00:27:45,874
- I found him for you.
- Good.

250
00:27:45,959 --> 00:27:48,624
Over here. Come over.

251
00:27:49,875 --> 00:27:52,208
Jiao, your message bag.

252
00:27:54,209 --> 00:27:56,458
Here. Your rifle.

253
00:28:00,625 --> 00:28:04,083
Hey guys,

254
00:28:08,375 --> 00:28:10,333
I have someone to introduce.

255
00:28:10,417 --> 00:28:14,541
This is our company's
new Political Officer, Wang Jincun.

256
00:28:14,625 --> 00:28:16,124
Let's welcome him.

257
00:28:20,167 --> 00:28:24,916
What's wrong? Are your fingers frozen?
Do I need to chisel them apart?

258
00:28:28,084 --> 00:28:33,833
Political Officer Wang can read and write.
He's your man if you want to write home.

259
00:28:34,917 --> 00:28:36,791
Lieutenant Jiao.

260
00:28:36,875 --> 00:28:39,958
When we had our victory party at Luoyang,
he was nearly choked to death on flapjacks.

261
00:28:41,084 --> 00:28:44,374
Lu, Demolition Specialist.
Jiang, Sniper.

262
00:28:44,792 --> 00:28:47,708
Sergeant Meng, Old Hedgehog.

263
00:28:48,084 --> 00:28:49,124
Luo, Machine Gunner.

264
00:28:51,709 --> 00:28:54,749
- Gong, Ammo Bearer.
- Call me Blacky.

265
00:28:55,084 --> 00:28:56,458
Captain.

266
00:28:56,542 --> 00:28:58,958
Captain, I wrote a letter home.

267
00:28:59,042 --> 00:29:02,166
I don't know how to write some words.
Can the Political Officer fill them in for me?

268
00:29:03,709 --> 00:29:05,333
Get down!

269
00:29:10,209 --> 00:29:14,708
Get in the mine.
Hurry, get in the mine, and stay there.

270
00:29:19,875 --> 00:29:22,791
Captain, something doesn't seem right.
It is raining shells.

271
00:29:22,875 --> 00:29:25,416
Leave two men behind to keep a look out.
Tell the rest to get into the mine.

272
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:28,249
- Take the Political Officer with you, hurry.
- Yes, sir.

273
00:29:28,334 --> 00:29:32,208
Get up. Follow me.
Don't be scared.

274
00:29:32,875 --> 00:29:34,916
Hurry into the mine.

275
00:29:35,209 --> 00:29:37,624
Yong and Shun, you two stay behind.

276
00:29:38,334 --> 00:29:39,499
Hurry up.

277
00:29:40,667 --> 00:29:41,791
Get down.

278
00:29:42,625 --> 00:29:45,499
- Everyone get into the mine.
- Stay focused.

279
00:29:45,584 --> 00:29:46,874
Hurry.

280
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,499
What are you praying for?

281
00:30:07,584 --> 00:30:11,541
Are you praying for the firing to stop
so you won't be hit?

282
00:30:14,084 --> 00:30:15,708
Stop screwing around.

283
00:30:15,792 --> 00:30:18,083
Pray with me. It works.

284
00:30:19,042 --> 00:30:21,624
Show me how to pray.

285
00:30:21,709 --> 00:30:24,958
You've killed too many people.
Prayers won't do you any good.

286
00:30:25,375 --> 00:30:27,541
But they were the enemy.

287
00:30:44,875 --> 00:30:45,999
Political Officer.

288
00:30:46,084 --> 00:30:49,583
If we make it through this one,
help me write a letter home.

289
00:30:53,334 --> 00:30:55,374
But forget it if I'm gone.

290
00:30:55,750 --> 00:30:58,124
It'd be less work for me,
and less work for you, too.

291
00:31:10,459 --> 00:31:12,124
Make way, make way.

292
00:31:16,792 --> 00:31:19,291
Just leave him.
We'll drag him away later.

293
00:31:19,375 --> 00:31:20,708
He's dead.

294
00:31:44,834 --> 00:31:48,666
It stopped again.
Forget about the time.

295
00:31:48,750 --> 00:31:51,541
Just listen for the bugle call.

296
00:31:52,875 --> 00:31:55,041
Keep your ears open for the bugle call.

297
00:31:55,125 --> 00:31:56,458
Has everyone rested up?

298
00:31:58,459 --> 00:32:02,083
When the bastards come to the door,
we'll give them what they deserve.

299
00:32:24,959 --> 00:32:27,874
Captain, this new guy's a wimp.

300
00:32:28,334 --> 00:32:31,166
Don't worry. He will get over it
after seeing some blood.

301
00:32:52,167 --> 00:32:54,249
Stay calm. Let them come closer.

302
00:32:54,334 --> 00:32:57,249
Fire when the grenades explode.

303
00:32:58,750 --> 00:33:04,583
Do you know why dogs bite people?
People smell funny when they're scared.

304
00:33:05,250 --> 00:33:08,833
Dogs only bite those who are scared.
Bullets are like dogs.

305
00:33:08,917 --> 00:33:10,749
They only hit those who are scared.

306
00:33:10,834 --> 00:33:14,166
If you aren't scared,
the bullets will go around you every time.

307
00:33:15,750 --> 00:33:18,583
Check your backpack.
Leave the useless stuff behind.

308
00:33:58,459 --> 00:33:59,958
Stay calm, wait for my orders.

309
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,583
Wait for my order before fire.

310
00:34:36,042 --> 00:34:39,249
Do you see their officer?
Let's take him out.

311
00:34:39,334 --> 00:34:43,499
I've got him in my sight.
Let them get right in front of you.

312
00:34:55,500 --> 00:34:57,416
Fire.

313
00:35:46,250 --> 00:35:47,583
Reload.

314
00:35:50,792 --> 00:35:51,833
Done.

315
00:35:55,209 --> 00:35:56,666
Political Officer.

316
00:36:03,625 --> 00:36:05,208
Looking good.

317
00:36:06,542 --> 00:36:08,499
Brothers, follow me.

318
00:36:22,334 --> 00:36:24,541
Remember where he is, he's all yours.

319
00:36:26,959 --> 00:36:27,999
Fire.

320
00:36:44,334 --> 00:36:46,083
Medic, come with me.

321
00:37:02,375 --> 00:37:03,374
He's dead.

322
00:37:03,459 --> 00:37:05,541
- Bring the dead into the mine.
- Yes.

323
00:37:54,125 --> 00:37:55,541
Political Officer.

324
00:38:19,792 --> 00:38:22,499
Blacky.
Blacky, hang in there.

325
00:38:32,334 --> 00:38:33,541
Bandages.

326
00:38:39,084 --> 00:38:40,249
Bandage it.

327
00:38:40,709 --> 00:38:41,916
Let's go.

328
00:38:44,459 --> 00:38:45,499
Captain.

329
00:39:10,834 --> 00:39:12,166
Retreat!

330
00:39:13,125 --> 00:39:15,999
- Retreat, hurry!
- Cease fire.

331
00:39:17,292 --> 00:39:19,374
Save your ammo.

332
00:39:56,375 --> 00:39:58,791
Hedgehog, have a smoke.

333
00:40:01,459 --> 00:40:02,874
Come give me a hand.

334
00:40:05,459 --> 00:40:07,041
Help him up, slowly.

335
00:40:12,167 --> 00:40:15,249
Eleven dead. Nine wounded.

336
00:40:15,334 --> 00:40:17,708
Two seriously wounded won't make it.

337
00:40:19,042 --> 00:40:23,624
Forty-seven minus eleven
minus two more.

338
00:40:26,750 --> 00:40:28,583
Only thirty-four men left.

339
00:40:32,250 --> 00:40:33,624
If things keep going like this,

340
00:40:33,709 --> 00:40:35,958
we'll all be gone
before we hear the bugle call.

341
00:40:38,042 --> 00:40:42,208
Get some men.
Carry the dead and wounded into the mine.

342
00:40:44,875 --> 00:40:48,333
We'll go in.
Forget about the dead.

343
00:40:48,417 --> 00:40:51,583
They will be blown apart
if we leave them out in the snow.

344
00:40:51,959 --> 00:40:58,208
We won't be able to collect the pieces.

345
00:41:01,334 --> 00:41:05,958
Hedgehog, carry the dead and
seriously wounded into the mine.

346
00:41:28,167 --> 00:41:29,916
No one could have saved him.

347
00:41:38,250 --> 00:41:42,916
If I get wounded like that,
don't bother with the bandages.

348
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,083
Save them for someone who needs them.

349
00:41:49,542 --> 00:41:53,041
He's in the way.
Take him into the mine.

350
00:42:00,042 --> 00:42:03,958
This is his letter home.
Finish it for him.

351
00:42:10,875 --> 00:42:14,708
Blacky, your worries are over.

352
00:42:15,375 --> 00:42:18,249
Rest in peace.

353
00:42:22,584 --> 00:42:26,083
When I was a kid,
I tended livestock for a rich family.

354
00:42:27,667 --> 00:42:28,833
Take this.

355
00:42:29,584 --> 00:42:32,833
I accidentally lost their pony.

356
00:42:32,917 --> 00:42:36,249
The old bastard beat me with a club.

357
00:42:37,084 --> 00:42:40,666
After I got home,
My father was even angrier.

358
00:42:41,167 --> 00:42:43,124
He beat me with a long pole.

359
00:42:45,667 --> 00:42:50,458
My family had half an acre of land.
We had to hand over half of it.

360
00:42:54,167 --> 00:42:56,874
That's not him.
I remember he was an officer.

361
00:42:59,667 --> 00:43:04,791
Take care of the fields.
Look after our elders.

362
00:43:07,792 --> 00:43:11,458
It's getting cold.
Don't let our son play near the well.

363
00:43:12,167 --> 00:43:14,124
The ice is slippery.

364
00:43:20,250 --> 00:43:23,083
Don't let our son near the livestock.

365
00:43:24,125 --> 00:43:28,874
Don't let him walk behind them.
l don't want him injured in the wrong place.

366
00:43:32,417 --> 00:43:33,458
Political Officer.

367
00:43:36,417 --> 00:43:39,041
That'll do. That's all for now.

368
00:43:43,375 --> 00:43:45,416
I'll add a good ending.

369
00:43:46,084 --> 00:43:49,791
Wishing the entire family
peace and happiness.

370
00:43:52,125 --> 00:43:53,416
Not bad.

371
00:43:56,417 --> 00:44:00,208
After the war, I'm going back home.
What about you?

372
00:44:00,292 --> 00:44:03,999
l'm not going back.
I've got to make something of myself first.

373
00:44:04,084 --> 00:44:06,708
At least I have to
get the land back for my dad.

374
00:44:10,084 --> 00:44:11,791
Over there.

375
00:44:23,375 --> 00:44:25,833
- That's him.
- This guy?

376
00:44:28,500 --> 00:44:29,791
Yes.

377
00:44:38,834 --> 00:44:40,333
Now Captain will know what time it is.

378
00:44:43,750 --> 00:44:45,416
Lu.

379
00:44:49,042 --> 00:44:50,333
Don't move.

380
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,624
Lu.

381
00:45:38,959 --> 00:45:40,874
Medic!

382
00:45:44,209 --> 00:45:46,708
Captain, he got a watch for you.

383
00:45:46,792 --> 00:45:50,083
Who told you to go? Who?

384
00:45:50,167 --> 00:45:52,333
We saw your watch was broken.

385
00:45:52,417 --> 00:45:56,291
Trade a life for a watch?
For a watch! ls it worth it?

386
00:46:01,459 --> 00:46:03,583
Lu, hang in there.

387
00:46:05,500 --> 00:46:07,499
Enemy tanks!

388
00:46:12,625 --> 00:46:14,999
Jiang, move Lu into the mine.

389
00:46:15,084 --> 00:46:16,958
- Fire after the tanks get closer.
- Yes.

390
00:46:17,042 --> 00:46:19,374
- Get the Molotov cocktails ready.
- Bring them over here.

391
00:46:19,459 --> 00:46:22,458
- Bring out the mountain gun.
- Demolition Team.

392
00:46:22,917 --> 00:46:25,624
Explosives!
Get the explosives ready!

393
00:46:25,709 --> 00:46:27,083
Hurry, wait for my orders.

394
00:46:27,167 --> 00:46:30,124
- Aim at the infantry behind the tank.
- Yes.

395
00:46:40,167 --> 00:46:41,791
Point it this way, hurry.

396
00:46:51,042 --> 00:46:52,374
Load the shell.

397
00:46:54,875 --> 00:46:56,833
When I say fire, pull the cord.

398
00:47:07,375 --> 00:47:11,499
- Will I be okay?
- Lu, you'll be okay.

399
00:47:11,792 --> 00:47:13,791
You'll be fine.

400
00:47:14,250 --> 00:47:17,916
It's cold.

401
00:47:18,417 --> 00:47:24,958
- So cold.
- Lu.

402
00:47:25,417 --> 00:47:26,958
Warmer now?

403
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:45,416
Fire.

404
00:47:49,750 --> 00:47:51,124
Get down.

405
00:48:28,625 --> 00:48:31,458
Captain.

406
00:49:12,834 --> 00:49:13,874
Fire.

407
00:49:17,709 --> 00:49:19,874
Bulls-eye!

408
00:49:48,917 --> 00:49:50,999
- Give me the torch.
- Take it.

409
00:50:11,917 --> 00:50:14,916
Luozi. Luozi.

410
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:19,124
Don't throw the grenades.
Let us get over there first.

411
00:50:21,459 --> 00:50:24,999
Go that way, now!

412
00:51:21,792 --> 00:51:25,583
- Jiao.
- It's too dangerous, come back!

413
00:51:27,292 --> 00:51:28,874
Get away.

414
00:52:28,250 --> 00:52:30,749
- Jiang!
- Jiang!

415
00:52:51,750 --> 00:52:55,958
Wait.

416
00:53:04,917 --> 00:53:09,166
Captain, listen to me.

417
00:53:10,500 --> 00:53:13,833
I just heard the assembly bugle call.

418
00:53:14,792 --> 00:53:18,583
Hedgehog, my hearing is not good.
What did he say?

419
00:53:19,667 --> 00:53:21,083
He heard the bugle call.

420
00:53:23,334 --> 00:53:24,874
You heard the bugle call?

421
00:53:25,542 --> 00:53:27,916
Assembly.

422
00:53:29,375 --> 00:53:33,291
They played the Assembly.

423
00:53:34,584 --> 00:53:38,249
Who else heard it?
Hedgehog, did you hear it?

424
00:53:40,167 --> 00:53:42,083
Tell me if you heard it!

425
00:53:43,792 --> 00:53:46,874
I did. Assembly was played.

426
00:53:46,959 --> 00:53:51,374
It's been playing all along.
You're deaf, you didn't hear it.

427
00:53:52,209 --> 00:53:57,249
Captain, let's go.
Get us out of here.

428
00:54:03,917 --> 00:54:06,041
Did you hear the bugle call?

429
00:54:06,125 --> 00:54:09,249
The bugle call?
When was it sounded?

430
00:54:10,542 --> 00:54:13,666
Who else heard it?
Did you two hear it?

431
00:54:15,084 --> 00:54:16,124
Did you hear it?

432
00:54:19,750 --> 00:54:22,583
- Political Officer.
- Political Officer!

433
00:54:24,667 --> 00:54:26,999
Tell Captain how many of us are left.

434
00:54:30,084 --> 00:54:32,999
- Thirty-two dead.
- Louder!

435
00:54:33,792 --> 00:54:38,166
Thirty-two dead.
Our Company has fifteen men left.

436
00:54:38,250 --> 00:54:42,708
Six are seriously wounded.
We're all who's left.

437
00:54:42,792 --> 00:54:45,083
The two in the mine took care of themselves.

438
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,791
I have always listened to you.

439
00:54:52,084 --> 00:54:56,208
Listen to me this time.
We have to leave.

440
00:54:56,875 --> 00:55:00,541
If we don't go, we'll all die.

441
00:55:00,667 --> 00:55:04,999
He said we always listen to you.
Listen to him for once.

442
00:55:05,084 --> 00:55:06,791
Let's get out of here.

443
00:55:06,875 --> 00:55:10,666
If we don't, we'll all be killed.

444
00:55:15,959 --> 00:55:19,791
Wang Jincun,
you're the 9th Company's Political Officer.

445
00:55:19,875 --> 00:55:24,166
I want to hear your advice.
Did you hear the bugle call?

446
00:55:28,125 --> 00:55:31,333
I didn't. l didn't hear it.

447
00:55:32,917 --> 00:55:37,083
Damn. You want us all to die?

448
00:55:37,167 --> 00:55:38,916
Why don't I just kill you now.

449
00:55:44,292 --> 00:55:45,499
l also didn't hear it.

450
00:55:45,584 --> 00:55:48,333
What are you trying to do?

451
00:55:49,250 --> 00:55:50,624
Captain,

452
00:55:51,375 --> 00:55:55,374
Are they still fighting across the river?
Is our Regiment still there?

453
00:55:56,167 --> 00:55:58,791
All our troops retreated long ago.

454
00:56:01,042 --> 00:56:04,666
If anyone dares run away,
my grenades will follow you.

455
00:56:05,500 --> 00:56:08,791
Luo, since when did you become...

456
00:56:08,875 --> 00:56:11,874
so courageous?

457
00:56:11,959 --> 00:56:14,083
Back off!

458
00:56:14,167 --> 00:56:16,083
Sergeant Jiao.

459
00:56:18,750 --> 00:56:22,458
Sergeant wants us to make it out alive.

460
00:56:25,917 --> 00:56:28,499
Sergeant Jiao.

461
00:56:28,584 --> 00:56:30,124
Sergeant Jiao!

462
00:56:37,417 --> 00:56:41,083
l never heard the bugle call.
l haven't heard a thing.

463
00:56:42,875 --> 00:56:44,916
I can't order a retreat.

464
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,083
Sorry, guys.

465
00:56:51,084 --> 00:56:54,958
Carry him into the mine.
Leave a space for me next to him.

466
00:57:07,417 --> 00:57:10,541
Leave if you heard the call.
I won't stop you.

467
00:57:11,167 --> 00:57:13,249
l didn't hear it, so I'm staying.

468
00:57:13,834 --> 00:57:16,458
Let's get the explosives ready.

469
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:25,583
These were written by our dead brothers.
Some are martyrs. The rest are mine.

470
00:58:46,542 --> 00:58:48,083
Charge.

471
00:58:49,500 --> 00:58:52,958
If you're scared, start yelling.
It works.

472
00:59:12,459 --> 00:59:13,499
Two months later.

473
00:59:14,709 --> 00:59:15,958
His wounds have healed well.

474
00:59:16,042 --> 00:59:18,749
His hearing has nearly been
restored to normal.

475
00:59:18,834 --> 00:59:22,708
Two of the three broken bones have settled.
His shell shock is quite severe.

476
00:59:22,792 --> 00:59:25,208
He is emotionally unstable.
Still unnerved from the trauma.

477
00:59:25,292 --> 00:59:26,958
Over there.

478
00:59:27,042 --> 00:59:29,166
Doctor Zhang,
do you think he's telling the truth?

479
00:59:29,250 --> 00:59:30,666
Could he be lying on purpose?

480
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,458
It's hard to tell.

481
00:59:34,584 --> 00:59:36,791
But he's in a better mood today.

482
00:59:44,167 --> 00:59:45,208
Wang, the noodles look good!

483
00:59:46,209 --> 00:59:49,499
I told you already.
My name isn't Wang.

484
00:59:49,750 --> 00:59:51,708
Okay, I'm sorry.

485
00:59:53,084 --> 00:59:56,041
- Then what's your name?
- Gu Zidi.

486
00:59:56,125 --> 00:59:59,041
- As in "son of the army"?
- Gu Zidi.

487
00:59:59,125 --> 01:00:02,708
No, it means "millet field."
You should know.

488
01:00:03,792 --> 01:00:05,333
The registration records are clear

489
01:00:05,417 --> 01:00:08,749
the 85th Army, 254th Division,
2nd Battalion, 5th Company, Private Wang.

490
01:00:08,834 --> 01:00:10,416
That wasn't my uniform.

491
01:00:10,500 --> 01:00:13,041
The name on the uniform
has nothing to do with me.

492
01:00:13,167 --> 01:00:14,958
It was never my uniform.

493
01:00:15,042 --> 01:00:20,124
- Then why were you wearing it?
- I already told you a thousand times.

494
01:00:20,209 --> 01:00:22,916
It was too late to retreat.
I was hiding out in an old mine.

495
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:26,333
l climbed out to look for something to eat.
Didn't I have to change my uniform?

496
01:00:28,500 --> 01:00:31,666
While I was looking for food,
I also blew up their ammo transport.

497
01:00:31,750 --> 01:00:36,833
- You blew out those tanks.
- What about the letter?

498
01:00:36,917 --> 01:00:41,166
What are you laughing at?
You want to screw with me, too?

499
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:46,124
Lucky for you we didn't meet in battle.
You're blessed by your parent's good deeds.

500
01:00:46,209 --> 01:00:50,208
Go light incense for them.
What losers!

501
01:01:01,042 --> 01:01:02,791
You were captured on the
Wen River's south bank.

502
01:01:02,875 --> 01:01:04,874
Will you admit to that much?

503
01:01:05,125 --> 01:01:07,416
I was in the advanced guard
of the 139th Battalion.

504
01:01:07,500 --> 01:01:09,583
I was ordered to secure the south bank.

505
01:01:09,667 --> 01:01:11,666
- I was with my troops.
- You mean...

506
01:01:11,750 --> 01:01:15,374
Before we took you prisoner,
The enemy had already taken you prisoner.

507
01:01:16,292 --> 01:01:17,708
Is that right?

508
01:01:17,792 --> 01:01:19,916
Taken prisoner? Who?

509
01:01:20,917 --> 01:01:23,124
The unit you told me no longer exists.

510
01:01:23,209 --> 01:01:26,749
All unit numbers were changed last year.
Didn't you know?

511
01:01:29,375 --> 01:01:31,541
The Central Plains Field Army
changed to the 2nd Field Army.

512
01:01:31,625 --> 01:01:33,541
This hospital belongs to the 3rd Field Army.

513
01:01:33,625 --> 01:01:35,916
It was previously called
the Eastern China Field Army.

514
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,291
We can't find the Division
you said you belonged to.

515
01:01:39,375 --> 01:01:42,708
We have no way to confirm what you say.
It's also not the hospital's duty to do so.

516
01:01:44,709 --> 01:01:48,458
The 2nd and 3rd Field Divisions
are all preparing the next campaign.

517
01:01:50,584 --> 01:01:52,124
Do you follow me?

518
01:01:53,125 --> 01:01:55,916
What do you mean?

519
01:01:56,959 --> 01:02:01,374
Stop messing around.
I sympathize with you but it won't help.

520
01:02:03,834 --> 01:02:06,708
Your wounds have mostly healed.
Get your travel pay and hurry back home.

521
01:02:06,792 --> 01:02:08,041
The hospital will issue you a pass.

522
01:02:08,125 --> 01:02:10,208
Travel pay and passes
are only given to POWs.

523
01:02:11,750 --> 01:02:12,833
You don't have to go home.

524
01:02:12,959 --> 01:02:15,041
You can go look for your troops
if you think you can find them.

525
01:02:15,959 --> 01:02:20,708
I entered the army in 1939.
I fought the Japs and then the Nationalists.

526
01:02:21,084 --> 01:02:22,999
- Shit!
- l'll be real blunt.

527
01:02:23,084 --> 01:02:26,541
This field hospital
can't verify your true identity.

528
01:02:26,625 --> 01:02:29,291
You'll only be a burden to our hospital.

529
01:02:29,375 --> 01:02:32,416
In addition,
what good would come of it for you?

530
01:02:36,375 --> 01:02:39,458
We've identified other men of your age
pretending to be a Private.

531
01:02:39,542 --> 01:02:41,999
Some were Generals.
Others were Colonels.

532
01:02:46,459 --> 01:02:48,208
I hope you'll recover soon.

533
01:02:52,292 --> 01:02:53,999
Any artillery men?

534
01:02:55,084 --> 01:02:57,208
Has anyone served in artillery?

535
01:02:58,292 --> 01:03:01,083
You're all soldiers.
Reply.

536
01:03:01,167 --> 01:03:04,833
Here. I was...in artillery.

537
01:03:27,917 --> 01:03:29,499
How many years were you in artillery?

538
01:03:31,084 --> 01:03:35,541
Not that long, but long enough.

539
01:03:36,084 --> 01:03:37,458
What kind of artillery have you used?

540
01:03:38,334 --> 01:03:42,499
The normal kind.
Barrels are at least...

541
01:03:44,459 --> 01:03:46,374
What artillery do you have here?

542
01:03:49,917 --> 01:03:50,999
Are you from Central Field?

543
01:03:51,875 --> 01:03:53,333
That's right.

544
01:03:55,625 --> 01:03:58,624
- And you have done artillery?
- Sure have.

545
01:03:58,709 --> 01:04:01,083
l've even blown up tanks.

546
01:04:01,167 --> 01:04:02,583
He doesn't seem like it.

547
01:04:09,584 --> 01:04:12,624
What's the traverse range of a howitzer?

548
01:04:15,667 --> 01:04:20,458
Minus five degrees, straight 45 degrees.
This is the range for what?

549
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:28,916
How old are you? Twenty?

550
01:04:29,792 --> 01:04:33,958
Our Captain fought the Japs in 1940.
He's been in the army as long as you.

551
01:04:34,042 --> 01:04:36,583
Lieutenant, give him some money.

552
01:04:36,959 --> 01:04:38,416
- Tell him to scram.
- Yes, sir.

553
01:04:38,500 --> 01:04:39,958
You old dog.

554
01:04:41,042 --> 01:04:42,416
Come on.

555
01:04:47,792 --> 01:04:51,249
- What's he laughing at?
- He's asking you why are you laughing?

556
01:04:52,084 --> 01:04:55,124
One of my men
used to eat flapjacks like that.

557
01:04:55,209 --> 01:04:57,541
He was always stuffing his mouth.

558
01:05:06,334 --> 01:05:11,249
When the battle was over,
he ended up not making it.

559
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:14,291
Let him stay.

560
01:05:30,375 --> 01:05:31,541
Yes, sir.

561
01:05:33,584 --> 01:05:37,374
Understood.

562
01:05:38,375 --> 01:05:39,499
Yes, sir.

563
01:05:40,584 --> 01:05:43,541
The American tanks
are assembling across the bridge.

564
01:05:43,625 --> 01:05:47,291
The Division Commander ordered us to
get behind the enemy line and post a lookout.

565
01:05:48,292 --> 01:05:50,791
We'll blow them to pieces
before the main attack.

566
01:05:50,875 --> 01:05:53,124
Okay, I'll go right over.

567
01:05:53,209 --> 01:05:55,624
I need two men from the Scout Platoon.

568
01:05:55,709 --> 01:05:58,458
The Scout Platoon is out locating
the enemy's front line.

569
01:05:58,542 --> 01:06:01,124
- Then transfer over two guards.
- I will go, too.

570
01:06:01,209 --> 01:06:05,749
l can't do much with artillery
I can be of more use as a foot soldier.

571
01:06:05,834 --> 01:06:08,833
Okay. Get the enemy's uniform.

572
01:06:08,917 --> 01:06:11,499
- Then we can get up closer.
- Understood.

573
01:06:12,500 --> 01:06:13,874
The American's uniform?

574
01:06:14,292 --> 01:06:17,124
What?! Would you pass as one?

575
01:06:17,209 --> 01:06:19,083
Get the South Korean's.

576
01:06:59,375 --> 01:07:00,749
Shit!

577
01:07:01,834 --> 01:07:03,374
I stepped on a mine.

578
01:07:04,334 --> 01:07:05,458
Don't move.

579
01:07:07,542 --> 01:07:10,583
Walk back along your footsteps.
Keep an eye on the road.

580
01:07:14,834 --> 01:07:16,124
Don't come over.

581
01:07:16,209 --> 01:07:18,541
It won't explode unless you move your leg.

582
01:07:22,292 --> 01:07:25,541
Don't worry about me.
Continue on with the others.

583
01:07:26,250 --> 01:07:28,999
I wouldn't know which way to fire.

584
01:07:29,084 --> 01:07:30,958
They know!

585
01:07:39,584 --> 01:07:42,708
A tank!
An American tank!

586
01:07:44,209 --> 01:07:46,791
Just leave me.
Don't get yourselves killed.

587
01:07:46,875 --> 01:07:47,999
Go!

588
01:07:48,250 --> 01:07:51,041
Put the guns down.
Put them down.

589
01:07:52,417 --> 01:07:54,666
We are the allied troops.

590
01:07:55,959 --> 01:08:00,458
Er Dou, relax.
This uniform decides if we make it out alive.

591
01:08:16,625 --> 01:08:18,999
Sir, look up ahead.

592
01:08:23,834 --> 01:08:27,249
Hold your fire, hold your fire.
On our side, on our side.

593
01:08:28,084 --> 01:08:30,583
Keep moving it ahead forward.

594
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,166
But we don't know how to speak Korean.

595
01:08:36,250 --> 01:08:40,499
We don't speak Korean.
The Americans speak even less.

596
01:08:47,500 --> 01:08:49,874
Where's Hoengsong-gun?

597
01:08:57,667 --> 01:09:00,333
How do we get to Hoengsong-gun?

598
01:09:00,417 --> 01:09:03,083
(Chinese gibberish trying to sound Korean)

599
01:09:03,167 --> 01:09:06,916
No, no.
Where is Hoengsong-gun?

600
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,374
- Hoengsong-gun?
- Yeah, yeah.

601
01:09:09,459 --> 01:09:11,499
- Hoengsong-gun.
- Stop messing with him.

602
01:09:11,750 --> 01:09:15,499
- How do we get there?
- He stepped on a landmine.

603
01:09:19,459 --> 01:09:22,499
He's on a landmine.

604
01:09:32,917 --> 01:09:35,541
It's not your lucky day.

605
01:09:37,292 --> 01:09:40,166
Looks like a French anti-personnel mine.

606
01:09:40,250 --> 01:09:44,791
lf you're lucky,
just the leg get blown off.

607
01:09:44,875 --> 01:09:47,249
I know this will blow my leg off.

608
01:09:47,625 --> 01:09:51,416
Well, good luck to you.
You're gonna need it.

609
01:09:52,084 --> 01:09:56,916
Let's get out of here. They have
more things to worry about than us.

610
01:10:31,459 --> 01:10:32,958
Stay still.

611
01:10:36,667 --> 01:10:37,958
Gu.

612
01:10:39,917 --> 01:10:41,333
Stand still.

613
01:11:05,542 --> 01:11:09,124
Stand still.
Lift up your foot. Slowly.

614
01:11:09,209 --> 01:11:13,374
- What will happen?
- I've got a plan.

615
01:11:13,459 --> 01:11:15,999
You are the eyes of dozens of cannons.

616
01:11:17,167 --> 01:11:18,666
Lift your foot and walk away.

617
01:11:18,792 --> 01:11:20,041
Faster.

618
01:11:21,500 --> 01:11:26,166
It might cost me a leg,
but you'll be blown to pieces.

619
01:11:28,459 --> 01:11:33,708
You know what?
I can't even hear the artillery sound.

620
01:11:35,334 --> 01:11:39,749
The assembly call keeps ringing in my ears.
It never stops playing.

621
01:11:41,834 --> 01:11:44,041
All my men heard it.

622
01:11:45,625 --> 01:11:49,833
I was the only one who didn't.
I might as well be dead.

623
01:11:49,917 --> 01:11:53,624
- Then I could see my 47 brothers.
- Man.

624
01:11:56,167 --> 01:11:57,624
You can't die.

625
01:11:59,542 --> 01:12:00,874
Hurry the fuck up.

626
01:12:53,917 --> 01:12:56,499
03, this is 01 , over.
Order the battalion to blow up the bridge.

627
01:12:56,584 --> 01:13:00,416
Aim at 475. 075 to the right.
Fifth Company, four cannons.

628
01:13:00,500 --> 01:13:02,249
Ready. Fire.

629
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:09,999
Minus five. 003 to the left.
Fire.

630
01:13:14,125 --> 01:13:16,958
On my command all fire.
Fire.

631
01:13:31,375 --> 01:13:34,624
Captain. Let's go.

632
01:13:39,459 --> 01:13:41,374
Lead us out of here.

633
01:13:42,834 --> 01:13:45,833
If we don't go, we'll all die.

634
01:13:51,292 --> 01:13:52,833
If the bugle hasn't sounded,

635
01:13:52,959 --> 01:13:57,708
even if you're the last man standing,
you must keep fighting.

636
01:14:54,667 --> 01:14:56,916
Li Fucai. Killed in action.

637
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:58,999
- 700 hundred pounds of rice.
- Here.

638
01:14:59,084 --> 01:15:03,749
Man Di, Zhang Wancai,
Xu Fugui, Zhang Shunxiang.

639
01:15:03,834 --> 01:15:05,666
Missing in action.
200 hundred pounds.

640
01:15:05,750 --> 01:15:07,999
They're not missing in action.
They were war heroes.

641
01:15:11,125 --> 01:15:14,166
Five men came from my village.
Three got killed.

642
01:15:14,250 --> 01:15:16,583
Two are deemed heroes.
And my brother?

643
01:15:16,667 --> 01:15:20,958
- Missing in action. That's not fair.
- Yeah, so unfair.

644
01:15:21,542 --> 01:15:23,541
Comrade, please be fair.

645
01:15:23,625 --> 01:15:26,499
My brother didn't come home from the war.
Wasn't he killed in action?

646
01:15:26,584 --> 01:15:29,624
He's still dead either way.

647
01:15:29,709 --> 01:15:32,624
But he's got to die for a reason.

648
01:15:32,709 --> 01:15:35,041
The family of a hero gets 700 pounds of rice.

649
01:15:35,125 --> 01:15:37,291
Families of the missing in action
get 200 pounds of rice only.

650
01:15:37,375 --> 01:15:38,583
A difference of 500.

651
01:15:40,875 --> 01:15:45,791
Sir, what kind of gun is this?
Haven't seen it before.

652
01:15:50,209 --> 01:15:53,749
- I wonder what this is.
- Comrade, let me ask you a question.

653
01:15:53,834 --> 01:15:56,333
- Are you from the local military office?
- Yes.

654
01:15:56,417 --> 01:15:59,791
Has anyone come looking for troops from
Central Field's 2nd special division?

655
01:16:00,834 --> 01:16:02,416
Liu.

656
01:16:02,667 --> 01:16:05,624
This is your department.
Have there been?

657
01:16:05,709 --> 01:16:08,249
Central Field's 2nd special division?

658
01:16:08,375 --> 01:16:11,541
So many troops have come back.
I can't remember.

659
01:16:11,625 --> 01:16:15,833
Hey, Comrade. Take a look at this.
What kind of gun is this?

660
01:16:17,625 --> 01:16:19,083
British 77.

661
01:16:20,417 --> 01:16:23,541
I used this in guerrilla warfare in Pingxi.
Hard to use.

662
01:16:27,625 --> 01:16:30,458
My husband's name was Wang Jincun.

663
01:16:30,542 --> 01:16:33,416
Troops from our town
saw him in Yang village.

664
01:16:33,500 --> 01:16:37,541
He was a teacher. His letters said
he didn't fight in the front line.

665
01:16:37,625 --> 01:16:40,291
In war, it doesn't really matter
whether you fought in the front line or not.

666
01:16:40,375 --> 01:16:43,041
He's either dead, ran away, or taken prisoner.
That's why he's missing.

667
01:16:43,125 --> 01:16:48,541
Comrade, people from town keep gossiping
and say he was executed by his own troops.

668
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:51,708
His mother died with shame.

669
01:16:53,209 --> 01:16:57,041
Excuse me,
your husband was Wang Jincun?

670
01:16:57,125 --> 01:16:59,791
- Yes.
- I was his Captain.

671
01:17:04,042 --> 01:17:06,958
Battlefields lined both sides
of the Wen River.

672
01:17:07,042 --> 01:17:09,041
Hundreds of thousands of troops
were assembled here.

673
01:17:09,125 --> 01:17:10,958
And if all the reinforcements
were added together,

674
01:17:11,042 --> 01:17:12,833
they'd outnumber everyone in this county.

675
01:17:13,792 --> 01:17:16,458
Of course, many people died.

676
01:17:20,125 --> 01:17:23,791
This should be the place,
but it looks completely different.

677
01:17:23,875 --> 01:17:28,249
- Sir, any entrances to the old mine?
- There's one below, it collapsed.

678
01:17:28,334 --> 01:17:30,083
- Take me to it.
- Let's go.

679
01:18:08,209 --> 01:18:09,458
This isn't it.

680
01:18:10,042 --> 01:18:12,458
- Are there any other entrances?
- This is the only one left.

681
01:18:12,542 --> 01:18:15,208
The others were destroyed in '52.

682
01:18:15,542 --> 01:18:17,958
- Were any bodies found?
- Not that I heard.

683
01:18:21,792 --> 01:18:26,374
My men were all lying inside.
You didn't see them?

684
01:18:28,709 --> 01:18:32,624
They were all lying inside.
Why couldn't you see them?

685
01:18:32,709 --> 01:18:34,583
Gu, calm down.

686
01:18:42,209 --> 01:18:45,916
- Did you find this helmet here?
- This? We've got tons of them.

687
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:48,333
The miners pee in them at night.

688
01:18:50,334 --> 01:18:53,083
These were worn on the heads of soldiers,

689
01:18:53,417 --> 01:18:56,499
- and you pee in them!
- Gu!

690
01:18:57,667 --> 01:18:58,708
Miss.

691
01:19:00,084 --> 01:19:03,541
Don't listen to them.
Your husband was a good man.

692
01:19:03,625 --> 01:19:07,333
I can prove it.
I can prove it.

693
01:19:07,417 --> 01:19:10,541
He shed his blood on this soil.
I can prove it.

694
01:19:11,250 --> 01:19:13,458
Gu. Gu.

695
01:19:13,542 --> 01:19:17,249
I will prove that my brothers
are buried under this mountain of coal.

696
01:19:17,334 --> 01:19:19,208
I will prove it to them.

697
01:19:20,959 --> 01:19:22,624
I'll prove it.

698
01:19:25,125 --> 01:19:27,833
He was studying
at the provincial teacher's college.

699
01:19:28,792 --> 01:19:30,708
He left without saying a word.

700
01:19:32,625 --> 01:19:35,083
His mother missed him so much.
She became ill,

701
01:19:35,167 --> 01:19:37,458
and never got out of bed again.

702
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:42,833
At first,
we received letters from him.

703
01:19:43,959 --> 01:19:47,791
After receiving his last letter
on August 13, 1948,

704
01:19:48,542 --> 01:19:51,374
I never heard from him again.

705
01:19:53,125 --> 01:19:57,916
He wrote to you everyday.
His clothes were filled with letters.

706
01:20:03,250 --> 01:20:04,541
Please.

707
01:20:07,500 --> 01:20:12,166
Tell me how he died.
Please tell me.

708
01:20:15,792 --> 01:20:19,874
He was very clean.
His hair was always perfectly combed.

709
01:20:21,084 --> 01:20:23,374
He looked the same when he died.

710
01:20:24,500 --> 01:20:27,083
He was hit by a tiny bit of shrapnel.

711
01:20:32,959 --> 01:20:35,833
About this big...on a fatal spot.

712
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:41,374
You couldn't see the wound.
He looked as if he was sleeping.

713
01:20:42,750 --> 01:20:45,249
His hair looked perfect.

714
01:21:03,625 --> 01:21:09,458
"Anonymous"

715
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:41,583
Gu, there's no point in looking.

716
01:21:43,459 --> 01:21:45,374
Not a single one has a name.

717
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:49,249
They're all anonymous soldiers.

718
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:59,499
Their parents gave them names.

719
01:22:04,792 --> 01:22:07,624
How did they become nameless men?

720
01:23:31,584 --> 01:23:32,958
- Where is he?
- Reporting, sir!

721
01:23:33,042 --> 01:23:34,624
He's squatting over there.

722
01:23:37,667 --> 01:23:40,291
Er Dou, I've come to see you.

723
01:23:40,917 --> 01:23:44,374
Of course, who else would you come?

724
01:23:45,500 --> 01:23:49,166
- Easy does it, Flapjack.
- You know you're going blind.

725
01:23:49,250 --> 01:23:50,833
- What if you fell into the river?
- Not so hard.

726
01:23:50,917 --> 01:23:53,124
Why didn't you tell me you were coming?

727
01:23:53,209 --> 01:23:56,458
Not so hard, you'll choke me.
Your troops are watching.

728
01:23:56,542 --> 01:23:57,833
What are you smiling at?

729
01:23:57,917 --> 01:24:00,208
- No smiling allowed.
- Yes, sir.

730
01:24:01,417 --> 01:24:02,958
Don't forget.

731
01:24:04,709 --> 01:24:07,416
This is my blood brother.

732
01:24:10,542 --> 01:24:12,999
- Who is that?
- Come over. Let me introduce you.

733
01:24:13,667 --> 01:24:16,291
Sun Guiqin.
My Political Officer's wife.

734
01:24:16,375 --> 01:24:17,499
Hello.

735
01:24:17,584 --> 01:24:19,749
- l'm Zhao Erdou.
- Hello.

736
01:24:19,834 --> 01:24:23,208
He's the Colonel I told you about.
He's just like me, uneducated.

737
01:24:23,292 --> 01:24:26,166
In artillery school, he could never sleep.
He ended up getting kicked out.

738
01:24:26,250 --> 01:24:29,458
I applied to leave.
Stop making things up!

739
01:24:30,834 --> 01:24:33,583
She went to the County
looking for her late husband.

740
01:24:33,667 --> 01:24:36,374
How could she find him if I couldn't?

741
01:24:36,459 --> 01:24:39,708
I brought her here to ask for your help.
I know you can help.

742
01:24:39,792 --> 01:24:41,791
How can l help?

743
01:24:42,167 --> 01:24:45,499
She has a fever.
Must have gotten sick from the rain.

744
01:24:45,584 --> 01:24:49,374
Hurry and help get her stuff.

745
01:24:49,667 --> 01:24:51,708
Zhao, get the car.

746
01:25:23,542 --> 01:25:24,999
Is her temperature down?

747
01:25:26,375 --> 01:25:31,291
It's down.
It was over forty degrees. Scary.

748
01:25:31,375 --> 01:25:35,499
- You haven't slept?
- I dozed off.

749
01:25:37,250 --> 01:25:39,291
I had them make some noodles.

750
01:25:44,959 --> 01:25:48,999
- What are you laughing at?
- That's for the girl.

751
01:25:49,084 --> 01:25:51,791
But you didn't bother to ask if l'm hungry?

752
01:25:53,209 --> 01:25:57,416
Take it. l'll order some more.
It's no big deal.

753
01:25:57,834 --> 01:26:01,166
Relax. I'm just messing with you.

754
01:26:06,167 --> 01:26:07,791
Flapjack.

755
01:26:07,875 --> 01:26:10,791
I came to ask for three favors.

756
01:26:11,834 --> 01:26:15,958
First get me anotherjob transfer.
I'm not going home.

757
01:26:16,042 --> 01:26:20,916
A retirement home for veterans
was built by the Wen River.

758
01:26:21,375 --> 01:26:22,624
Forget it.

759
01:26:23,959 --> 01:26:27,999
You can't stay in a place like that.
It'll turn you into a ghost.

760
01:26:29,875 --> 01:26:31,874
If you don't want to go back home,

761
01:26:32,750 --> 01:26:35,916
transfer your work papers here.

762
01:26:37,125 --> 01:26:38,374
You can stay with me.

763
01:26:38,459 --> 01:26:42,208
You're not my son!
Why should I stay with you?

764
01:26:42,292 --> 01:26:44,041
You can be my godfather, okay?

765
01:26:47,625 --> 01:26:50,333
A piece of that landmine
is lodged in your skull.

766
01:26:50,417 --> 01:26:54,166
Sooner or later you'll go completely blind.
What will you do then?

767
01:26:57,084 --> 01:26:58,416
No more bullshit.

768
01:26:59,084 --> 01:27:00,458
Stay here.

769
01:27:01,042 --> 01:27:04,583
Stay with my regiment.
Do whatever you want here.

770
01:27:05,375 --> 01:27:07,791
- Look at your power.
- Go on.

771
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:11,249
In North Korea, you made a promise to me.

772
01:27:11,334 --> 01:27:14,291
You said you'd help me find my troops
after the war.

773
01:27:15,250 --> 01:27:16,583
Gu.

774
01:27:18,375 --> 01:27:24,374
Millions of soldiers,
troops who lost entered new units.

775
01:27:26,792 --> 01:27:32,374
Even if we think the world of ourselves,
we're just like drops in a river.

776
01:27:32,459 --> 01:27:36,999
- Why would they care about us?
- They don't care.

777
01:27:37,084 --> 01:27:38,958
We must care about it.

778
01:27:40,959 --> 01:27:42,499
Tell me the truth.

779
01:27:42,584 --> 01:27:45,874
That report I made.
Did you ever pass it up the line?

780
01:27:45,959 --> 01:27:49,583
Of course I did,
but I'll bet it just got stuck in the pile.

781
01:27:51,667 --> 01:27:54,999
They said the headquarters received
many letters like yours.

782
01:27:55,084 --> 01:27:59,041
Hundreds of thousands of them.
They couldn't open them all.

783
01:28:01,792 --> 01:28:03,333
Be patient.

784
01:28:08,334 --> 01:28:11,666
- Is she awake?
- Not yet.

785
01:28:11,750 --> 01:28:14,208
- Report when she's awake.
- Yes, Colonel.

786
01:28:19,584 --> 01:28:21,249
I've said the first two.

787
01:28:23,042 --> 01:28:24,583
There's one more.

788
01:28:27,250 --> 01:28:31,291
Brother, l found a wife for you.

789
01:28:33,417 --> 01:28:34,708
Who?

790
01:28:35,709 --> 01:28:37,916
She's down with a fever.

791
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:41,124
Stop kidding around!

792
01:28:42,417 --> 01:28:44,499
How about it?
You don't like her because she's a widow?

793
01:28:44,584 --> 01:28:47,208
Nonsense. I'm no golden boy myself.

794
01:28:48,875 --> 01:28:51,708
- It's just not right.
- Seems right to me.

795
01:28:51,792 --> 01:28:53,333
I think you should be with her.

796
01:28:54,542 --> 01:28:57,083
We're brothers. So I'll be blunt.

797
01:28:57,584 --> 01:29:00,041
A blind person
doesn't deserve such a woman.

798
01:29:00,125 --> 01:29:01,458
It wouldn't be fair to her.

799
01:29:03,584 --> 01:29:06,791
Tell me. What does her face look like?

800
01:29:08,542 --> 01:29:09,874
A beauty.

801
01:29:11,167 --> 01:29:13,499
I can't see clearly what she looks like.

802
01:29:14,209 --> 01:29:18,416
If she is so beautiful,
it's a waste to leave her with me.

803
01:29:35,209 --> 01:29:37,208
Tell her what you should.

804
01:29:38,292 --> 01:29:42,166
If you can't find the words,
l'll talk to her when she's better.

805
01:29:43,042 --> 01:29:44,291
Listen to your brother.

806
01:29:44,375 --> 01:29:46,124
She cherishes a loved one
that's passed away.

807
01:29:46,209 --> 01:29:49,083
She will devote herself to a living one.

808
01:30:05,750 --> 01:30:07,916
- Gu.
- Yes?

809
01:30:09,209 --> 01:30:11,624
- What do you want for dinner?
- Dumplings.

810
01:30:11,709 --> 01:30:14,666
If during the holidays,

811
01:30:14,750 --> 01:30:17,124
a few of us friends

812
01:30:17,209 --> 01:30:22,041
can celebrate together,

813
01:30:22,750 --> 01:30:28,458
we will remember
all the memories we treasure.

814
01:30:28,542 --> 01:30:33,541
A song filled with joy.

815
01:30:33,625 --> 01:30:38,916
We will remember
all the memories we treasure.

816
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:43,249
A song filled with joy.

817
01:30:44,250 --> 01:30:47,541
At the end of the battle,
you were the only one left standing?

818
01:30:47,625 --> 01:30:50,749
That's right. I was the only one left.

819
01:30:52,209 --> 01:30:53,958
How'd you get the enemy's uniform?

820
01:30:55,834 --> 01:30:57,291
What?

821
01:30:58,084 --> 01:31:01,374
We need to know in detail
the order of events.

822
01:31:06,292 --> 01:31:10,416
After all this time,
you are still missing the point.

823
01:31:11,834 --> 01:31:15,958
Since you claimed to be the only one alive,
who is to verify your story?

824
01:31:18,209 --> 01:31:22,083
What else do you want to know?
Just tell me. I want to hear it out.

825
01:31:24,417 --> 01:31:27,958
Suppose you intentionally
snuck into the enemy's ranks.

826
01:31:28,042 --> 01:31:31,458
How did you do it?
Why did you do it?

827
01:31:32,167 --> 01:31:37,416
What were you thinking?
Did you consider the consequences?

828
01:31:38,292 --> 01:31:40,166
We hope you will take
these questions seriously.

829
01:31:40,250 --> 01:31:43,583
The Party needs to make the record straight,
and you need to make the record straight.

830
01:31:45,584 --> 01:31:50,458
Your employment is registered in our county.
It is our duty to review our cadres.

831
01:31:51,584 --> 01:31:55,124
Comrade Gu Zidi, take your time.

832
01:31:55,209 --> 01:31:58,166
Before you answer, think it through.

833
01:31:58,250 --> 01:32:01,333
Try to remember. No rush.

834
01:32:02,500 --> 01:32:07,749
I've said all I can say.
What else do you want to know?

835
01:32:07,834 --> 01:32:11,624
- Please answer the questions I just asked.
- Fuck you.

836
01:32:11,709 --> 01:32:14,624
- What did you say?
- I said, fuck you.

837
01:32:14,917 --> 01:32:18,666
- Watch your mouth.
- Comrade Gu, you must calm down.

838
01:32:18,750 --> 01:32:22,041
You are full of shit, and I am to be calm?

839
01:32:22,709 --> 01:32:24,374
You are responsible
for your words and actions.

840
01:32:24,459 --> 01:32:28,166
I've already died hundreds of times.
Who cares about this bullshit?

841
01:32:28,875 --> 01:32:31,249
Write this down.
Take down what he just said.

842
01:32:31,334 --> 01:32:36,041
Don't just take down my words.
Write this down as well.

843
01:32:36,125 --> 01:32:39,458
- He can take care of himself.
- This is outrageous.

844
01:32:42,500 --> 01:32:43,958
Ridiculous!

845
01:32:44,334 --> 01:32:47,458
- Absolutely ridiculous!
- He's got a bad temper.

846
01:32:47,542 --> 01:32:50,083
Wang, see the two officials off.

847
01:32:52,667 --> 01:32:54,416
Give my regards to the Director.

848
01:33:09,292 --> 01:33:12,374
Gu, try to cooperate.

849
01:33:13,375 --> 01:33:14,791
Don't be like this.

850
01:33:15,417 --> 01:33:19,208
It's not fair.
It's so unfair.

851
01:33:46,500 --> 01:33:49,333
Gu, you can't see your way around.
Don't come up here.

852
01:33:49,417 --> 01:33:51,666
My eyesight is poor, but my nose is keen.

853
01:33:51,750 --> 01:33:54,583
lf the forest caught on fire,
you wouldn't see it,

854
01:33:54,667 --> 01:33:56,541
but I'd be able to smell it.

855
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:17,291
Nice view.

856
01:34:19,459 --> 01:34:21,749
Gu.

857
01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:29,208
Gu, look towards the road.

858
01:34:29,292 --> 01:34:35,958
Gu.

859
01:34:36,125 --> 01:34:37,708
They've been found.

860
01:34:38,834 --> 01:34:42,249
- What's been found?
- Er Dou just got the notice!

861
01:34:42,334 --> 01:34:45,666
Gu, they found your old regiment.

862
01:35:03,375 --> 01:35:06,249
My girl,
Er Dou isn't fooling around with me?

863
01:35:06,334 --> 01:35:08,749
No, it's true.

864
01:35:09,917 --> 01:35:15,208
- You mustn't fool around.
- It's true. Come back with me.

865
01:35:18,500 --> 01:35:20,833
What's wrong?

866
01:35:21,709 --> 01:35:24,333
Be careful. It's true.

867
01:35:24,417 --> 01:35:25,708
You must not fool around.

868
01:35:34,084 --> 01:35:38,916
"Memorial Cemetery for the War Heroes"

869
01:35:40,625 --> 01:35:42,791
Director Qin, thanks for waiting.

870
01:35:43,875 --> 01:35:45,749
Colonel Zhao, thanks for coming.

871
01:35:45,834 --> 01:35:47,999
This is the person I told you about.
Our battalion's hero.

872
01:35:48,084 --> 01:35:50,458
Volunteer soldier,
Bronze Star for distinguished service.

873
01:35:50,542 --> 01:35:53,666
Flapjack, it would be better to say

874
01:35:54,584 --> 01:35:56,624
I'm the Central Plains Field Army's
Special 2nd Division,

875
01:35:56,792 --> 01:35:59,208
139th Battalion, 3rd Regiment,
9th Company, Captain Gu Zidi.

876
01:35:59,292 --> 01:36:01,749
I've come to report to Colonel Liu.

877
01:36:01,834 --> 01:36:04,499
This is Director Qin
from the Chemical Defense Regiment.

878
01:36:04,584 --> 01:36:07,083
He is handling the cases
associated with the 139th Regiment.

879
01:36:07,167 --> 01:36:08,541
Comrade Gu.

880
01:36:08,625 --> 01:36:11,458
On behalf of the regiment's Political Officers,
I welcome you.

881
01:36:11,542 --> 01:36:14,333
Your regiment is the same as
the old 139th Regiment?

882
01:36:14,417 --> 01:36:16,874
Not entirely.
Our regiment now includes

883
01:36:16,959 --> 01:36:21,458
part of the Western Henan's Training Corps
and a part of the old 139th Regiment.

884
01:36:21,542 --> 01:36:24,333
We haven't been able to
handle all of the Regiment's cases.

885
01:36:24,417 --> 01:36:27,958
We checked the MIA name list
from the Wen River mission.

886
01:36:28,042 --> 01:36:30,583
Your name was listed.

887
01:36:30,667 --> 01:36:32,958
Colonel Liu was transferred to
the Branch Military Cadre Academy

888
01:36:33,042 --> 01:36:35,624
as the Deputy Commandant.

889
01:36:35,709 --> 01:36:37,333
After the Korean War started,

890
01:36:37,417 --> 01:36:40,833
he re-entered combat duties
as Deputy Commander of the 280th Division.

891
01:36:47,042 --> 01:36:48,416
Gu.

892
01:36:49,750 --> 01:36:51,333
Captain Gu.

893
01:36:55,917 --> 01:36:57,833
- You are?
- Me?

894
01:36:59,125 --> 01:37:03,833
I'm Liangzi.
I am managing the Memorial Cemetery here.

895
01:37:04,375 --> 01:37:06,708
You don't recognize my voice?

896
01:37:06,792 --> 01:37:12,208
l was the regiment's Bugler.

897
01:37:13,834 --> 01:37:15,791
You twerp.

898
01:37:16,709 --> 01:37:18,874
You're still alive.

899
01:37:27,375 --> 01:37:29,374
During the fifth campaign,

900
01:37:29,459 --> 01:37:33,916
he led two infantry battalions
to cover the division's retreat.

901
01:37:34,459 --> 01:37:38,249
When it came time for our own retreat,
it was already too late.

902
01:37:40,417 --> 01:37:44,791
More than five hundred men died.
Only thirty escaped alive.

903
01:37:48,042 --> 01:37:49,999
His back was blown apart.

904
01:37:51,584 --> 01:37:53,249
I had to carry him back.

905
01:37:54,792 --> 01:37:56,999
He was in the hospital
for more than half a month.

906
01:37:58,459 --> 01:38:00,124
But he didn't make it.

907
01:38:01,500 --> 01:38:05,333
- Why not retreat earlier?
- The transmitter had been destroyed.

908
01:38:05,792 --> 01:38:09,416
We never received the retreat order.
We couldn't do anything about it.

909
01:38:09,500 --> 01:38:13,249
They could only keep pounding forward.

910
01:38:13,334 --> 01:38:15,124
He's one tough son-of-a-bitch.

911
01:38:15,209 --> 01:38:19,499
Trained by the old school. Stubborn ass.

912
01:38:26,750 --> 01:38:28,541
Liangzi.

913
01:38:28,625 --> 01:38:32,291
No one sent to the old mine survived.

914
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:35,041
How did the Regiment evaluate this?

915
01:38:35,834 --> 01:38:38,124
After the battle, Commissar Zhang
inspected the area himself.

916
01:38:38,209 --> 01:38:40,708
He couldn't find anyone, dead or alive.

917
01:38:41,209 --> 01:38:42,958
Everyone was listed as MIA.

918
01:38:45,250 --> 01:38:49,666
My ears belong on pigs.
I never heard your assembly bugle call.

919
01:38:50,750 --> 01:38:53,999
Some troops heard it.
But I never heard it.

920
01:38:55,584 --> 01:38:57,916
I've always felt guilty about this.

921
01:38:59,917 --> 01:39:02,624
But I never blew the assembly call.

922
01:39:08,875 --> 01:39:11,791
- They all heard it.
- I never played it.

923
01:39:18,500 --> 01:39:22,916
Gu, I'll tell you one more time.

924
01:39:25,084 --> 01:39:27,541
l never played the assembly bugle call.

925
01:39:30,334 --> 01:39:31,874
Why not?

926
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:35,624
The Regiment suddenly received
the order to retreat.

927
01:39:35,709 --> 01:39:38,791
At that time
you were in the old mine.

928
01:39:38,875 --> 01:39:41,624
Holding up a lot of the enemy.

929
01:39:41,792 --> 01:39:44,291
If we ordered your retreat,

930
01:39:44,375 --> 01:39:46,791
the entire regiment
may have been in serious trouble.

931
01:39:46,875 --> 01:39:50,499
Perhaps even wiped out by the enemy.

932
01:39:51,459 --> 01:39:53,041
Colonel Liu

933
01:39:54,542 --> 01:39:56,791
never ordered the assembly call
to be sounded.

934
01:40:02,375 --> 01:40:07,708
You were afraid of being wiped out?

935
01:40:08,334 --> 01:40:11,833
What about us?
The 9th Company!

936
01:40:11,917 --> 01:40:13,249
Gu.

937
01:40:14,084 --> 01:40:16,416
- Liu!
- Gu!

938
01:40:16,500 --> 01:40:18,833
The Colonel felt terrible about this.

939
01:40:19,125 --> 01:40:22,166
Even on his death bed
he talked about nothing but you.

940
01:40:22,250 --> 01:40:26,124
I was with the Colonel
for more than ten years.

941
01:40:26,209 --> 01:40:27,541
He was a good person!

942
01:40:27,625 --> 01:40:29,916
Blame me instead.
I never played the Assembly.

943
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:33,249
Not for the Colonel nor for the 9th Company.
I'm so sorry.

944
01:40:33,584 --> 01:40:35,124
- Gu!
- Liu!

945
01:40:35,209 --> 01:40:39,291
The Colonel is dead.
The Colonel is dead.

946
01:40:39,375 --> 01:40:41,541
You were afraid of being wiped out!

947
01:40:42,084 --> 01:40:44,416
The entire 9th Company was wiped out!

948
01:40:44,500 --> 01:40:46,291
Let me apologize for the Colonel.

949
01:40:46,375 --> 01:40:48,374
- I am the only one left.
- I beg you.

950
01:40:48,459 --> 01:40:52,583
Brothers of the 9th company,
Colonel Liu offers his deepest apologies.

951
01:40:53,292 --> 01:40:55,833
I wish l was wiped out long ago.

952
01:40:57,417 --> 01:41:01,166
Damn Liu,
I was waiting for your bugle call!

953
01:41:01,250 --> 01:41:04,208
My men were always waiting for your call!

954
01:41:04,292 --> 01:41:09,208
They died one by one...
waiting for your call!

955
01:41:11,250 --> 01:41:12,333
Gu Zidi!

956
01:41:13,459 --> 01:41:15,416
Why can't you just let go.

957
01:41:17,750 --> 01:41:22,749
People die, it's part of war.
Lots of soldiers died, not just your company.

958
01:41:22,834 --> 01:41:25,666
Let me remind you
I was Colonel Liu's bodyguard.

959
01:41:25,750 --> 01:41:27,416
I still am to this day.

960
01:41:27,500 --> 01:41:31,541
If you don't stop this nonsense,
I'll rip your head off.

961
01:41:31,625 --> 01:41:35,333
What are you doing?
This is the Memorial Cemetery.

962
01:41:40,125 --> 01:41:43,541
I didn't want you to go down the road,
but you would not listen.

963
01:41:43,625 --> 01:41:45,833
Aren't you just picking on your own wound?

964
01:41:51,500 --> 01:41:53,541
All his men died.

965
01:41:55,084 --> 01:41:57,291
He's been searching for them all these years.

966
01:41:57,959 --> 01:42:00,124
He won't hurt anyone by shouting.

967
01:42:07,417 --> 01:42:09,166
What's done is done.

968
01:42:10,250 --> 01:42:13,958
Don't bring it up again.
You, too.

969
01:42:16,042 --> 01:42:17,416
Calm down.

970
01:42:50,125 --> 01:42:51,458
Liu my man,

971
01:42:54,584 --> 01:42:56,124
I'm not...

972
01:42:57,625 --> 01:42:59,416
I can take the fact...

973
01:43:00,250 --> 01:43:01,874
that the call wasn't sounded.

974
01:43:05,792 --> 01:43:10,124
But all my men,
my forty seven brothers

975
01:43:13,125 --> 01:43:15,166
all fought to death bravely.

976
01:43:17,542 --> 01:43:20,124
How could they be called MIA?

977
01:43:24,125 --> 01:43:25,958
You are buried here.

978
01:43:27,125 --> 01:43:29,833
Who can prove what really happened?

979
01:43:31,834 --> 01:43:33,791
Repeat the orders.

980
01:43:37,834 --> 01:43:41,291
By tomorrow twelve noon,
no matter what it takes,

981
01:43:41,375 --> 01:43:43,541
we must secure the old mine
on the southern bank.

982
01:43:43,625 --> 01:43:44,666
What else?

983
01:43:44,750 --> 01:43:48,249
Always listen...for the Assembly bugle call.
Fall back when you hear it.

984
01:43:51,167 --> 01:43:52,666
Liu,

985
01:43:53,459 --> 01:43:55,333
have a good rest.

986
01:43:57,709 --> 01:44:02,916
I'll bring you cigarettes and wine
from now on.

987
01:44:04,209 --> 01:44:06,041
We share the same fate.

988
01:44:06,959 --> 01:44:10,833
You owe me nothing.
I also owe you nothing.

989
01:44:11,792 --> 01:44:14,166
We are even now.

990
01:45:27,167 --> 01:45:29,041
What are you digging for?

991
01:45:30,167 --> 01:45:32,624
- Bodies.
- What bodies?

992
01:45:33,292 --> 01:45:34,708
Dead bodies.

993
01:45:42,792 --> 01:45:45,624
- Do you have permission from the mine?
- Let go.

994
01:45:49,042 --> 01:45:52,583
What are you really up to?
Did you ask for permission?

995
01:45:56,042 --> 01:45:58,249
If you didn't, then you can't dig here.

996
01:46:01,834 --> 01:46:03,041
Let go of me.

997
01:46:03,375 --> 01:46:04,416
You can't dig here.

998
01:46:04,792 --> 01:46:06,124
Let go.

999
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:13,249
This old soldier has lost his mind.
He's crazy.

1000
01:46:15,834 --> 01:46:17,624
This old man is crazy.

1001
01:46:40,042 --> 01:46:41,583
Comrade Gu Zidi,

1002
01:46:42,084 --> 01:46:44,833
you're obstructing
the mine's economic development.

1003
01:46:44,917 --> 01:46:48,874
You are a decorated veteran.
You should know better.

1004
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:52,291
It's been more than a month.
He keeps digging like crazy.

1005
01:46:52,375 --> 01:46:54,833
He's interfering with
our schedule to store the coal.

1006
01:46:54,917 --> 01:46:59,374
Soon snow will cover the mountains.
We must finish storing the coal on time.

1007
01:46:59,459 --> 01:47:02,499
Gu, you can report any issues
to your superiors.

1008
01:47:02,584 --> 01:47:04,583
Just don't make trouble here.

1009
01:47:04,667 --> 01:47:07,208
l've written nine letters.

1010
01:47:07,750 --> 01:47:11,999
Asking others to help me dig.
No one responded.

1011
01:47:12,084 --> 01:47:15,624
Even if we all helped digging
and removed the mountain of coal,

1012
01:47:15,709 --> 01:47:17,624
what if there's nothing underneath?

1013
01:47:26,250 --> 01:47:28,249
Then just bury me there.

1014
01:47:31,584 --> 01:47:33,249
I told you he was crazy.

1015
01:47:34,167 --> 01:47:38,999
- Let him be then.
- Just don't let him get hurt.

1016
01:47:40,084 --> 01:47:42,416
Send him food at meal breaks.

1017
01:47:42,500 --> 01:47:44,874
- Don't let him starve.
- Okay.

1018
01:47:45,667 --> 01:47:47,708
Get back to work, hurry.

1019
01:48:10,459 --> 01:48:13,749
He lives here.
lt's one of the miner's huts.

1020
01:48:14,917 --> 01:48:18,416
- Is there heat?
- Fire. Otherwise he'd have frozen to death.

1021
01:48:31,792 --> 01:48:34,458
This veteran must really be suffering.

1022
01:48:41,792 --> 01:48:54,166
Gu!

1023
01:48:54,500 --> 01:48:55,958
With Liangzi's help,

1024
01:48:56,042 --> 01:48:58,041
Er Dou found the
139th Regiment's Commissar Zhang.

1025
01:48:58,167 --> 01:49:03,541
He realized you were still alive
and that your men were all killed in battle.

1026
01:49:03,625 --> 01:49:05,583
He wanted to meet you.

1027
01:49:05,667 --> 01:49:09,166
The military gave an official notice
to the local government.

1028
01:49:10,542 --> 01:49:14,083
Your eyesight is poor.
I'll read it to you.

1029
01:49:14,167 --> 01:49:18,416
Wait.

1030
01:49:20,042 --> 01:49:21,916
I have to wash my face first.
