completely drunk.

This should buy you all some time.

This is the reason you asked for a fund?

Of course.

It costs money to rent a place,

buy alcohol

and find these people.

Nobody move!

Don't move!

I get first pick.

What are we waiting for? Let's take them.

Hey, Chen,

something on your mind?

Chief Zhu,

such a spectacle today...

I'm not used to it.

Basically every officer in Nanchang is here.

I'm concerned that if anything happens...

Excuse me.

Report!

Zhao Fusheng,

one of our vice battalion commanders,

left and has not returned.

Zhao Fusheng!

That menace!

I've lectured him already.

Is it likely that he would leak the information?

Better play safe

than be sorry.

I suggest

we hold an emergency meeting now

and adjust the uprising plan.

Check your markers.

Once the fighting starts

we identify the markers only, not the person.

Chen Feng!

Fusheng.

Something terrible is happening!

Hurry up!

Everybody, assemble!

Everyone, assume your position

and prepare to fight!

Everyone,

assume your position

and prepare to fight!

Understand?

Yes, sir!

How are the preparations coming?

Two regiments of the 24th Division are ready

and every member is on standby.

The artillery outside the city is ready for battle.

The 20th Army is ready for battle.

I don't know what's happening with Zhu De's troops.

Don't worry.

He doesn't make mistakes.

Brothers!

Take the Financial Commissioner's Building

within the hour!

Yes, sir!

Move out!

Fire!

Fire!

Report!

Our 20th Army's Training Regiment

has seized the new barracks

of the 3rd Army's 79th Regiment.

Don't move!

Don't move!

Nobody move!

Report!

The guard companies from the Training Regiment

and 4th Regiment of the 24th Division

now occupy Niuhang Railway Station.

The Railway Station!

Nothing.

Why?

The phone line has been cut.

Report!

Our 72nd Regiment has captured

the 23rd Regiment of KMT's 3rd Army

at the Examination Hall.

What's the situation?

Go on! It's nothing!

Go!

What are you doing?

Somebody help! Now! The machine-guns!

Retreat from the gate!

Report! The gate is being shelled!

He Long's troops have been discovered

on the main street!

Attack!

Send the 6th Company to reinforce the city gate!

It must be held!

I want the Maxim machine-guns on the main street

where we make our final stand

against this He Long!

Save him!

Take a flour bag.

Provide cover fire!

Charge!

Follow!

Follow me to the gate!

Hurry up! Get everything!

Don't move! Nobody move!

Put down what's in your hands!

Put it down! Put everything down!

Don't move! Put your hands up!

Don't move! Drop it!

Don't move!

Take the hard cash first!

We're facing a revolution

and this money

is temporarily requisitioned.

It will be returned

when the war is over.

Understand?

We are writing you a receipt.

Quick!

Take it!

Go!

Go with several men, sneak out of the city

and ask for reinforcements!

Feng, one more thing.

Remember.

They wear red scarves on their collars

and white towels on their arms.

Don't move! Don't move!

Put the gun down!

Don't move! Identify yourself!

Don't move!

Don't shoot!

Password!

We're friends!

Remember, everyone has a red scarf on their collar

and a white towel tied to their right arm.

Why are you crying?

Go!

We met resistance at the gate. Requesting support!

How is the 20th Army doing on the main street?

It's a stalemate.

I'm going!

Let's move!

Commander! Commander!

He Long's troops are about

to break through our defenses

and we can't hold much longer!

Outflank them!

Take cover!

Take cover!

Report!

He Long's troops have taken the clock tower

but face strong resistance

at the Financial Commissioner's Building.

Fire!

Firing positions!

Retreat!

Report! We are unable take Deshengmen Gate

and our casualties are so heavy

that we are forced to retreat.

Request reinforcements!

Stop crying!

Get me bandages now!

Give them to me now!

Stay with me!

Hold on!

Come help me, now!

Mortar!

Mortar!

Distance 370...

Fire!

Report!

Ye Ting commands reinforcement troops

to begin shelling Deshengmen Gate!

Get ready!

Don't stop! Drop everything you've got on them!

Fire!

Su Yu! Attack!

Get ready!

Go!

Retreat!

Grenade!

Get ready!

Fire!

Don't move!

Don't move!

Put the gun down!

Take them away!

Report!

The battle has ended!

Our troops have captured

the Financial Commissioner's Building

and occupy Deshengmen Gate!

Don't move!

Stay down!

Don't move!

Take this!

Stay close to me!

Follow me!

Put down your gun!

Put the gun down!

Commander!

We have won!

Victory!

Brother, why are you so late?

The battle is over!

A Mosin-Nagant.

I saved this for you.

Don't be too cocky.

Later, I will return to you a new one.

Don't forget you said that.

Victory!

Soong Ching-ling, Tan Pingshan,

Liu Yazi and Mao Zedong

have composed a Declaration of Members

of the Central Committee.

What does it say?

One:

Oppose the directives

and resolutions issued in the name

of the Central Party Bureau by a few members

of the Central Committee in Wuhan.

Two:

Uphold the Three Principles

of the People for building a society

of the people, by the people and for the people

and support the Three Great Policies of

allying with Russia and the Communist Party,

and assisting the workers and peasants.

Three:

Work hard to build a new base area,

so as to convene the Third National Congress

outside the spheres of the old

and new warlords, to discuss

the question of concentrating

the revolutionary forces

and continuing the revolutionary work.

I really don't understand

why Mrs. Sun is involved with the communists.

Seven:

Actively prepare our forces

to wipe out new-style warlords like Chiang,

Feng Yuxiang and Tang Shengzhi,

who represent the forces of all the imperialists,

the northern warlords,

and feudal society within the country.

To wipe out Chiang, Feng Yuxiang

and Tang Shengzhi.

I am the top of the list.

I guess this means

things between us are irreconcilable.

Commander-in-Chief,

Li Jishen wired us from Guangzhou to ask

what should be done

about the rebellion in Nanchang.

Let them decide on their own.

Jishi,

south of the Yangtze receives

little rain in late summer.

The newly planted plane trees in Nanjing

should be watered well.

Miss Mei-ling asked about this yesterday.

Yes, sir. I will keep that in mind.

Both Zhou Enlai

and Mao Zedong are people with ideals.

They both have a desire

to transform China.

But this is in opposition to Chiang's interests.

I think Chiang

used us to have Li Dazhao killed.

The communists

will surely remember what we have done.

But in this world of ours

there is no cure for regret.

Attention!

Come,

Salute!

Come, come!

We've seized 5,000 rifles,

700,000 rounds

and captured 3,000 men.

This was a brilliant victory.

Zhang Fakui and Zhu Peide's troops

are marching to Nanchang.

Li Jishen sent Qian Dajun

and his troops from Guangzhou.

Wang Jingwei and Chiang Kai-shek's armies
