Assembly Page #6

Damn Liu

l was waiting for your bugle call!

My men were always waiting for your call!

They died one by one.

Waiting for your call!

Gu Zidi!

Why can't you just let go

People die, it's part of war

Lots of soldiers died, not just your company

Let me remind you

l was Colonel Liu's bodyguard

l still am to this day

lf you don't stop this nonsense

l'll rip your head off

What are you doing?

This is the Memorial Cemetery

l didn't want you to go down the road

But you would not listen

Aren't you just picking on your own wound?

All his men died

He's been searching for them all these years

He won't hurt anyone by shouting

What's done is done

Don't bring it up again

You, too

Calm down

Liu my man

l'm not.

l can take the fact..

that the call wasn't sounded

But all my men

My forty seven brothers

All fought to death bravely

How could they be called MlA?

You are buried here

Who can prove what really happened?

Repeat the orders

By tomorrow twelve noon

No matter what it takes

We must secure the old mine on the southern bank

What else?

Always listen.for the Assembly bugle call

Fall back when you hear it

Liu

Have a good rest

l'll bring you cigarettes and wine from now on

We share the same fate

You owe me nothing

l also owe you nothing

We are even now

What are you digging for?

Bodies

What bodies?

Dead bodies

Do you have permission from the mine?

Let go

What are you really up to?

Did you ask for permission?

lf you didn't, then you can't dig here

Let go of me

You can't dig here

Let go

This old soldier has lost his mind

He's crazy

This old man is crazy

Comrade Gu Zidi

You're obstructing the mine's

economic development

You are a decorated veteran

You should know better

lt's been more than a month

He keeps digging like crazy

He's interfering with our schedule

to store the coal

Soon snow will cover the mountains

We must finish storing the coal on time

Gu

You can report any issues to your superiors

Just don't make trouble here

l've written nine letters

Asking others to help me dig

No one responded

Even if we all helped digging

And removed the mountain of coal

What if there's nothing underneath?

Then just bury me there

l told you he was crazy

Let him be then

Just don't let him get hurt

Send him food at meal breaks

Don't let him starve

Okay

Get back to work, hurry

He lives here

lt's one of the miner's huts

ls there heat?

Fire. Otherwise he'd have frozen to death

This veteran must really be suffering

Gu!

Gu!

Gu!

Er Dou found the 139th Regiment's Commissar Zhang

He realized you were still alive

And that your men were all killed in battle

The military gave an official notice
