Assembly

Our brothers of the Nationalists'

This is Captain Gu Zidi of the 139th Regiment

the Special 2nd Division of the Liberation Army

On behalf of my company, l'd like to greet you

You are completely surrounded

lf you keep fighting

You won't like how things end up

We offer you two choices

You can get bullets

Or maybe you'd prefer dumplings

We can keep the bullets coming

lf you have had enough

Trade in your weapons for chopsticks

Sit down with your brothers here in the 9th company

We can all eat dumplings

Gu

Quit the bullshit

Let's move in

Wait

They're already cooking in a pot

What's the hurry?

Captain

Something doesn't look right

Have they already retreated?

The battalion ordered a hasty attack

What are we waiting for?

Let's go

Yes sir

On the ground

Get down

Move in, now!

Get the machine gun

No one move

Gu

Set up a base of fire

Send in the assault forces

We're pinned down

The enemy has artillery

Let the troops regroup

How can we stop now?

l disagree

l am the captain

l'm in charge

That is cowardly behavior

l won't let that happen

Are you moving in or not?

l'm going in anyway

What for?

lf you want to get yourself killed

No one can stop you

Political Officer!

Hurry

Brothers

Attack!

Political Officer!

Don't shoot

We surrender

We surrender, don't shoot

Don't shoot

The enemy has surrendered

Let them pick up their weapons

No surrender accepted

Pick up your weapons

No one move

No one move!

Luo

What are you waiting for?

Fire!

They have already surrendered

Jiang

Jiang

Fire

Jiang

You cannot kill POWs

Stop pretending to be a saint

The Political Officer was blown apart

Harder

Harder

Those in the back, keep up

Harder

lncluding the wounded

Anyone who were not carried away by stretcher

We still have forty six men left

A hundred seventeen minus forty six

Our company lost seventy one men

Get me a casualty list

Report the final count

On the double

Fight a battle, report a funeral

Don't keep making me do this

You are the only one who can read

The Political Officer is gone

Who else is there?

The Nationalists have good uniforms

But their fighting is not up to snuff

We found a wheel

See if it fits

The 7th Company found three howitzers

Two ten wheelers

All we find is a small, crippled mountain gun

Bite your tongues

Feel the pain?

That means you are still alive

What is the use of all these metal scraps?

ln our last battle

The 3rd battalion's 9th company

Fought bravely without giving up

They suffered heavy casualties

We were going to commend them

But Captain Gu Zidi

Ordered the POWs shot

And stole their uniforms

He disobeyed army discipline

And disgraced our entire regiment

The Division Commander has ordered us

To punish him

for his misconduct

Therefore

The regiment's Party leadership has decided

To punish all those involved accordingly

Firstly

The 9th Company's troops are to be transferred

Captain Gu Zidi's forty six men

Will all move to the regiment's Advanced Guard

Until further instruction

Secondly

Captain Gu Zidi, of the 9th Company

ls to be punished for his mistake accordingly

He's to be locked up for three days.

Captain Gu

Have something to eat

The food is getting cold

You know when l last had a bed under me?

l am having the ball of my life

Food can wait

l guess l caught up on my rest

This is the best l've felt since

joining the battalion

This barn is huge

How much grain can it hold?

What a waste locking us up in here

What's your name?

Wang Jincun

What's your job?

l was a teacher

You were busy writing when l first got here

You were still writing when l woke up

What are you writing?

A letter home

To your wife?

And this?

Did your wife knit it?

Huh?

Yes

l heard them say

A teacher in the 1st Battalion

Pissed in his pants in battle

And he was disciplined

Are you the one?

No? Not you?

Who cares if it is?

All you did was pee

That's better than getting killed

Bullets flying everywhere

Grenades exploding down your pants

Even a god would pee

Don't get the wrong idea

Moving you to the front

lt's not part of the punishment

lt shows our trust in you

l've seen the old mine battlefield

The location is good

lt's much higher

than the north bank

They won't be able to see our movement

We'll get the upper hand by securing it

We planned to

transfer two companies from the 2nd Battalion

But now

The defensive area has expanded

l can't spare the troops

Are you following?

Say something

Damn delicious

Look

Only girls wear down their shoes here

When will you learn to walk like a man?

Stop messing around

Tell me what you need

l'll do whatever l can

What you want?

ln that case

l don't have enough artillery

l need Maxim machineguns

l'll.

Give you two machine guns

And three thousand rounds

l want to keep that mountain gun

Shells are hard to find

The quartermaster will check

You can take whatever he finds

My troops are good in the trenches

Especially with explosives

You've got to let me take all l want

Go ahead

Take as much as you can carry

l don't have enough men

Give me thirty more

No way

After all, l'm the provisional

captain of the advanced guards

How about twenty more men?

No way

Five?

That's not a lot to ask

The regiment's troops are all deployed

l can't spare a single man

Gu

There really are no men left

The Colonel's bodyguard is dead

And there is no replacement

l now serve as the Bugler and his bodyguard

lt's the truth

Fine

Then just give me one person

l need a Political Officer

You've only got half a company

What you need a Political Officer for?

ln the last battle

lf the Political Officer hadn't died

l wouldn't have made that mistake

Now you know

You can be your own Political Officer

Can we.

Keep the helmets and boots

we took from the POWs?

What?

Okay, keep them

Liangzi

Get the stuff for him

Liangzi

What are the goodies?

Yellow Dragon cigarettes.

The Colonel won't even smoke them himself
