Let's get the explosives ready

These were written by our dead brothers

Some are martyrs

The rest are mine

lt works

Two months later

POW Ward, 8th Hospital, 3rd Field Army

His wounds have healed well

His hearing has nearly been restored to normal

Two of the three broken bones have settled

His shell shock is quite severe

He is emotionally unstable

Still unnerved from the trauma

Over there

Doctor Zhang

Do you think he's telling the truth?

Could he be lying on purpose?

lt's hard to tell

But he's in a better mood today

Wang, the noodles look good!

l told you already

My name isn't Wang

Okay, l'm sorry

Then what's your name?

Gu Zidi

As in.son of the army.?

Gu Zidi

No, it means.millet field.

You should know

The registration records are clear

The 85th Army, 254th Division

That wasn't my uniform

The name on the uniform

Has nothing to do with me

lt was never my uniform

Then why were you wearing it?

l already told you a thousand times

lt was too late to retreat

l was hiding out in an old mine

l climbed out to look for something to eat

Didn't l have to change my uniform?

While l was looking for food

l also blew up their ammo transport

You blew out those tanks

What about the letter?

What are you laughing at?

You want to screw with me, too?

Lucky for you we didn't meet in battle

You're blessed by your parent's good deeds

Go light incense for them

What losers!

You were captured on the Wen River's south bank

Will you admit to that much?

l was in the advanced guard of the 139th Battalion

l was ordered to secure the south bank

l was with my troops

You mean.

Before we took you prisoner

The enemy had already taken you prisoner

ls that right?

Taken prisoner?

Who?

The unit you told me no longer exists

All unit numbers were changed last year

Didn't you know?

The Central Plains Field Army

changed to the 2nd Field Army

This hospital belongs to the 3rd Field Army

lt was previously called the Eastern China Field Army

We can't find the Division you said you belonged to

We have no way to confirm what you say

lt's also not the hospital's duty to do so

The 2nd and 3rd Field Divisions

are all preparing the next campaign

Do you follow me?

What do you mean?

Stop messing around

l sympathize with you but it won't help

Your wounds have mostly healed

Get your travel pay and hurry back home

The hospital will issue you a pass

Travel pay and passes are only given to POWs

You don't have to go home

You can go look for your troops

lf you think you can find them

l entered the army in 1939

l fought the Japs and then the Nationalists

Sh*t!

l'll be real blunt

This field hospital

Can't verify your true identity

You'll only be a burden to our hospital

ln addition

What good would come of it for you?

We've identified other men of your age

Pretending to be a Private

Some were Generals

Others were Colonels

l hope you'll recover soon

Any artillery men?

Has anyone served in artillery?

You're all soldiers

Reply

ln artillery

How many years were you in artillery?

Not that long

But long enough

What kind of artillery have you used?

The normal kind

Barrels are at least.

Are you from Central Field?

That's right

And you have done artillery?

Sure have

l've even blown up tanks

He doesn't seem like it

What's the traverse range of a howitzer?

Minus five degrees, straight 45 degrees

This is the range for what?

Twenty?

Our Captain fought the Japs in 1940

He's been in the army as long as you

Lieutenant

Give him some money

Tell him to scram

Yes, sir

You old dog

Come on

What's he laughing at?

He's asking you

Why are you laughing?

One of my men used to eat flapjacks like that

He was always stuffing his mouth

When the battle was over

he ended up not making it

Let him stay

Yes, sir

Understood

Understood

Yes, sir

The American tanks

Are assembling across the bridge

The Division Commander

Ordered us to get behind the enemy line

And post a lookout

We'll blow them to pieces

Before the main attack

Okay

l'll go right over

l need two men from the Scout Platoon

The Scout Platoon is

out locating the enemy's front line

Then transfer over two guards

l will go, too

l can't do much with artillery

l can be of more use

As a foot soldier

Okay

Get the enemy's uniform

Then we can get up closer

Understood

The American's uniform?

What?!

Would you pass as one?

Get the South Korean's

Sh*t!

l stepped on a mine

Don't move

Walk back along your footsteps

Keep an eye on the road

Don't come over

lt won't explode unless you move your leg

Don't worry about me

Continue on with the others

l wouldn't know which way to fire

They know!

A tank!

An American tank!
