-
- Is everyone covered? - of course.
-
Yes, we haven't seen the enemy yet.
-
-Are we trying in vain? - Alert!
-
Yes,sir.
-
Colonel, there's nobody here.
-
PLA is very cunning. Tell everyone to be more careful.
-
Guys, alert.
-
Colonel Lu, Colonel Lu, I've finally found you.
-
What's going on?
-
Commander Zhang asked me to find you.
-
Commander Zhang? Zhangtianquan!
-
Who is the man he is looking for?
-
I see, everybody follow me.
-
Yes,sir.
-
Change of plan. Follow them.
-
Yes,sir.
-
Move.
-
Colonel, are we going to attack them now and kill them?
-
There are too many enemies for us to do that.
-
So what do we do now?
-
They have too many heavy weapons. We can't do anything about it.
-
Retreat. We'll find another breach.
-
-Move. -Move.
-
Zuoming, what are you doing?
-
Tianquan, the PLA has breached the outer city,
-
but our reinforcements haven't arrived yet.
-
I don't think the city of Jinan can hold.
-
But we still have so many brave soldiers that we can take the outer city back.
-
I'll tell you the truth.
-
Ever since the Battle of Menglianggu...
-
I've been thinking, were we wrong to start a civil war?
-
Don't lose heart, Zuoming. We haven't lost yet.
-
KMT will not fail easily.
-
It is not us who have failed, it is the politicians.
-
When we killed the Japs, how heroic.
-
But now the KMT is badly corrupt at the top.
-
They embezzle even our war pay,
-
and our soldiers won't trust us any more.
-
Do we just give up?
-
Brother, I advise you to plan ahead too.
-
Zuoming, even if you go away, I will defend Jinan.
-
And be honored to the master.
-
If you can hold Jinan, the President will give you the Blue Sky Medal.
-
I don't care. I just hope we don't lose too badly.
-
As long as I can hold this place for the President.
-
All right, I should go back. I'll leave it to you.
-
Zuoming.
-
- I'll walk you out. -No, we'll be apart.
-
- I'm leaving. -Okay, take care.
-
Before leaving, I want to send you a word: break through.
-
Once a hero, but reduced to this situation.
-
Sir, the PLA is coming through the east gate.
-
- PLA outside is also about to enter. - Looks like the outer city is falling.
-
-Let's retreat to the inner city. - OK, move.
-
Yes,sir.
-
-Sir. -Come in.
-
-Sir. -You're back.
-
Sit down.
-
-Sir, is that Commander Wang who just left? - Yes.
-
Shengwen, looks like it's all over for us.
-
That's why I brought you back.
-
Sir, don't worry. I will defend the city of Jinan.
-
Commander gave me a word when he left: break through.
-
Break through?
-
We are stuck here.
-
Even if the PLA doesn't attack, we won't last very long.
-
So...
-
Are we going to give up Jinan?
-
I didn't say I was giving up!
-
I will do my last duty,
-
and I will not be ashamed to see the President in heaven.
-
I don't want my wife to die with me.
-
We've known each other since middle school, all these years...
-
She followed me all the time, but never complained.
-
My heart has been feeling very guilty.
-
That's why I called you back. I want you to get her out of here safely.
-
Commander, I will follow you until I die.
-
No, Shengwen, you're still young.
-
You've got so much ahead of you, it's not worth it.
-
But what about you?
-
I don't care about life or death anymore.
-
Sir.
-
Shengwen, don't hesitate any more. Help me get her out of here.
-
Yes,sir.
-
Shengwen, don't come back after you leave.
-
I have already called Shanghai Police Commander Xuan...
-
He is a close friend of mine and a fellow townsman of ours.
-
You go to see him in Shanghai, he will arrange a position for you.
-
Sir.
-
Be careful.
-
Sir. Be careful.
-
Colonel.
-
- I'm sorry. -I see. Come with me.
-
Move.
-
Colonel, the situation in the inner city is intense.
-
Good, we'll support them. Move.
-
Yes,sir.
-
Colonel Lu, I'm sorry.
-
You were hurt because you were protecting me.
-
I am fine.
-
Shit, these bastards, they're crazy.
-
Open fire...
-
Sir, what do we do now?
-
Outer city has been breached by the PLA, our reinforcements haven't arrived yet.
-
We have no other choice but to fight and die.
-
- We can't let the PLA into the inner city. - Yes, Sir.
-
Guys, open fire.
-
Yao, how are things going now?
-
Shit, now the enemy is attacking us.
-
Your second regiment has suffered heavy casualties, should go back.
-
-Leave it to us. -Okay, kick their ass.
-
-Retreat! - First Regiment, fire...
-
Magazine!!!
-
Open Fire. Don't let the KMT officer escape.
-
Don't worry, Colonel. I'll kill him.
-
We'll take him alive.
-
Alive. Yes,sri.
-
Ceasefire. Ceasefire.
-
Commander Zhang, we meet again.
-
One moment it was outside the city, now it is inside it!
-
You should know by now that surrender is your only option.
-
Again, if you join us, you will be respected.
-
Damn it, fire...
-
Sir, the PLA's firepower is too strong. What do we do now?
-
- Grenades. -Yes, Sir.
-
Get down.
-
Move.
-
- They're trying to escape.Keep up with them! - Yes, Sir.
-
Sir, let's go to the east gate. There are fewer PLA there.
-
No, let's go to the front gate.
-
If reinforcements arrive, we can counterattack.
-
-Keep the PLA stuck in Jinan. - Will reinforcements really come?
-
We have no other choice. Move.
-
Auntie, slow down.
-
Guozhong, you take them to Nanjing.
-
When you go out of Jinan, find an ordinary carriage.
-
Let them go to Nanjing in a carriage.
-
Yes,sir.
-
Won't you come with us?
-
No, I'm going back to fight with Commander Zhang, see you.
-
Shengwen, you have to get him out of Jinan.
-
Don't worry, ma 'am, I promise.
-
-Colonel Lu. -Miss Shen, do you want anything else?
-
Can we see each other again?
-
If I live, we'll meet again.
-
-Take care. -You too.
-
Open fire...
-
Ceasefire.
-
Listen! If only you could surrender.
-
You will have enough food and land.
-
If you don't want to join the army, you can get money for your journey home.
-
- Caogen, get someone in the back. - Yes, Sir.
-
-You guys, come with me. - Yes, Sir.
-
Sir, no more fighting. Let's surrender.
-
Listen, this is what happens to anyone who surrenders again.
-
Sir.
-
Commander Zhang, don't give your soldiers any more trouble.
-
If you continue to resist, you will all die.
-
You are always welcome to join us.
-
Huazi, you take some soldiers to the back of the PLA.
-
-I will attack from the front. - Yes, Sir.
-
Sir, we are surrounded by the PLA. We can't get out.
-
The city of Jinan fell.
-
Looks like this is where I'm gonna die.
-
Move.
-
Sir, Sir.
-
- Sir. -Shengwen, why are you back?
-
They have left Jinan safely.
-
Jinan is going to fall. You must leave at once.
-
No, I'm not leaving. I'm going to die here.
-
Then, I'm sorry, Sir.
-
You two, get out of here with the Commander. Now!
-
Yes,sir.
-
-What do you want to do? - Hurry up.
-
Sir, move.
-
-Shengwen, you have to come back alive. -Don't worry, Sir. Hurry up.
-
Don't move. Surrender. I won't kill you.
-
-Here you are. -Thank you, brother.
-
-Thank you, brother. -No problem. We're good friends.
-
Good friends.
-
-Maobao. -Shengwen.
-
You're lucky. If the bullet hits you, you're dead.
-
Fortunately, it was only a scratch.
-
Brother, after all these years, I didn't realize...
-
We will meet under such circumstances.
-
- I thought you'd... - What?
-
Killed by the Japs?
-
I haven't heard from you for so many years, I thought you.....
-
Brother, it's good to see you again.
-
Why did you join KMT?
-
It's a long story.
-
In those days, we left home together to kill the Japs.
-
When I had no other way out, Commander Zhang took me in.
-
Then he sent me to the Whampoa Military Academy,
-
and after graduation I went with him to kill the Japs.
-
Until now.
-
Shengwen, we grew up together, you are the master, I am the servant.
-
When we were kids, we were like brothers.
-
You really enjoy following me, eating and playing with me.
-
Remember once, we went to pick wild fruit from the tree.
-
You fell out of a tree and your father chased me and beat me.
-
Brother, I have been closest to you since I was a child.
-
I think of you as my own brother.
-
I remember what you said.
-
If you hadn't run so fast, you would have been beaten.
-
You come back with me.
-
I'll talk to division commander Wang about this...
-
You join us.
-
Brother, I can't go with you this time.
-
My faith and persistence will not waver.
-
All these years, because of the cultivation of KMT.
-
If I'm afraid to die, what's the difference between me and those traitors?
-
Look at your KMT, oppressing people, corruption...
-
They have no regard for the lives of the people.
-
If you stay there, you're turning against the whole nation.
-
Is it worth it?
-
Brother, we are brothers, but this is a battlefield.
-
Shengwen, remember when I took you to pick wild fruits...
-
We gained a lot, but we were too happy to forget to go back...
-
Then it got dark and we couldn't find our way home.
-
Of course I do. It got dark so early...
-
We went down the mountain by memory, but we couldn't get out.
-
And next morning we found out that it was just the shadow of a big rock.
-
It's blocking the way we have to go.
-
We were scared all night.
-
Brother, thank you for being with me.
-
Otherwise I really don't know what to do.
-
You remember! It will be the same this time...
-
Don't t let the dark get in the way, keep your eyes open.
-
Find the right direction.
-
Come on, come back with me.
-
No.
-
-Come back with me. -No.
-
Why are you so stubborn?
-
Even if the abyss lies ahead! And I won't back down.
-
Brother, I am so happy to see you again.
-
I can die at your hands. I can die with no regrets.
-
Do it.
-
- You've changed. -Brother, we haven't changed.
-
We are all grown up.
-
Okay, I'll give you time to think about it,
-
and wait for you when you get back.
-
But the next time we meet again, I won't show mercy.
-
Sir, it's all my fault.
-
I'm willing to accept any punishment.
-
Sounds like you've been wronged?
-
I don't ...
-
Even the KMT officers you dare to let go, you...
-
Do you know what it's called? Traitor, you'll be shot.
-
-Sir. -Sir.
-
Come in.
-
-Sir. -Sir.
-
Sir, please don't be angry. Don't kill our colonel.
-
If it weren't for our colonel, first Regiment wouldn't even exist.
-
Right, don't be angry!
-
You can't kill our colonel. We can't do without him.
-
Besides, the colonel led us to take out so many KMT's.
-
Right , sir, don't be angry!
-
Our colonel risked his life on the battlefield.
-
Now we've just taken Jinan, and you're going to kill our colonel.
-
I feel terrible!
-
What? Do you want to rebel?
-
Sir, I will take all the responsibility!
-
You guys, get out of here! Shut up.
-
MaoBao, you take full responsibility? Great!
-
- Guards. - Yes, Sir.
-
Wait.
-
Don't explain anything. You're in confinement! And you guys.
-
What are you looking at? Guard, get them out of here.
-
OK! OK!
-
Let's go.
-
Don't be angry. You know MaoBao.
-
He say what he wants to say, and he can't say anything else.
-
You can't force him. If you do kill him...
-
I don't care, but are you willing to?
-
I tell you, that's how you spoil him.
-
We have to be clear. You or me?
-
You...
-
There must be a reason for him to do so.
-
Let's lock him up for a few days! Then ask for instructions on what to do with him.
-
You go.
-
Me?
-
Colonel, do you have a headache?
-
If you have a headache, I'll help you.
-
-What are you asking? -What are you doing?
-
Will you hit the pillar if you have a headache?
-
Then you go.
-
I'll stay with him.
-
Are you out of your mind? What are you doing?
-
- We're going to die. - Shut up.
-
Who's gonna shoot us?
-
I'm telling you, the commissar will help us. We won't get killed.
-
You see what's wrong with him?
-
Who was that man on the battlefield?
-
I go.
-
Even the division commander did not ask why, you can do it?
-
Right.
-
What kind of person could make our colonel look like this?
-
It's the man it's the KMT officer.
-
-Sir. -Come in.
-
Sir, there's a man out there named Lushengwen who wants to see you.
-
Let him in.
-
Yes,sir.
-
Wait.
-
- You go out. I'll see him myself. - Yes, Sir.
-
You come back alive.
-
-Lushengwen. -Sir.
-
That's great. You come back alive.
-
Sorry, we have lost Jinan City.
-
There are many reasons, not just you.
-
Although the city of Jinan is lost, we have to show our appreciation for you.
-
If KMT officers were anything like you, we would defeat the communists.
-
Please punish me.
-
Wins and losses are fickle, the main responsibility for losing Jinan lies in me.
-
But the President did not blame me
-
and asked me to continue to defend Xuzhou.
-
Shengwen, I'm going to propose you as a deputy brigade commander.
-
Help me defend Xuzhou.
-
Yes,sir.
-
Now the PLA morale is high and we are losing one after another.
-
The KMT's top brass are self-interested.
-
There's nothing we need more than someone like you right now.
-
Shengwen, come on, we will treat you well.
-
Yes,sir.
-
Let's go to my office.
-
Caogen, Caogen, Caogen.
-
Don't walk about any more, I feel dizzy.
-
- I'm worried. - Who's not worried?
-
Colonel, it's been three days. You haven't spoken or eaten.
-
You'll knock your head off like that.
-
Please, speak to us.
-
Colonel, who the hell is that man?
-
You are a different person since you met him.
-
Shut up, you two.
-
Dahan, you don't seem a bit worried.
-
Sir.
-
- How's it going? - Everything's fine.
-
- Nothing happened? - Nothing.
-
-If anything comes up, report it to me. - Yes, Sir.
-
This time he did not look quite himself.
-
Maobao is not a traitor, this time...
-
-Anyway, get his pride down. -OK.
-
There will be a lot of tasks for him in the future, so let's do that.
-
-So.... -Lock him up.
-
OK.
-
I will talk to division commander Wang about this.
-
You join us.
-
Brother, I can't go with you this time.
-
My faith and persistence will not change easily.
-
All these years, because of the cultivation of KMT.
-
If I'm afraid to die, what's the difference between me and those traitors?
-
Look at your KMT, oppressing people, corruption...
-
They have no regard for the lives of the people.
-
If you stay there, you're turning against the whole nation.
-
Is it worth it?
-
Don't t let the dark get in the way, keep your eyes open.
-
Find the right direction.
-
Now the PLA morale is high and we are losing one after another.
-
The KMT's top brass are self-interested.
-
There's nothing we need more than someone like you right now.
-
Shengwen, come on, we will treat you well.
-
What are you doing here?
-
What are you thinking about?
-
Concentrate!
-
Nothing.
-
Really? You see your brow is wrinkled.
-
Miss Zhen, what do you want to see me about?
-
I came to thank you for saving my life.
-
I'm a soldier. That's my duty.
-
Don't say that.
-
Yes, you are a soldier, I am a common people! But you saved my life...
-
So, are we friends?
-
If you don't dislike me, then we would be friends.
-
OK.
-
So let's get to know each other again.
-
Hello, I'm Shenlin, reporter.
-
Lushengwen.
-
Miss Shen, if there's nothing else, I'd like to go now.
-
Wait.
-
Let me tell you, first, I'm Shenlin, not Miss Shen.
-
OK.
-
Second, you can't stop my gratitude to you.
-
So, I'm inviting you to my home this weekend.
