The Taking of Tiger Mountain Page #4

to Lord Hawk.

- Any news about Yang?

- Not yet

- 203

- I'll take over the shift.

You get some rest.

Captain.

- I'm not hungry.

- You drink it.

It's just you and me. Stop tagging along.

Sister Lil' Dove said this is a mission.

If you don't drink, I'll fail.

Sister also said.

Captain surely can't sleep afterwards.

We even pinky swore.

Okay, I'll drink it.

Go.

Knotti, come here.

It's your turn

I'm telling you-

move again, and I'll cut you like a mangy dog.

Lord Hawk said

to reward Hu

with the 9th Warrior Attendant position.

Colonel of Security Brigade.

Congratulations to the 9th Chief.

Big brother,

Bro 9 can do Northeast dance duet.

Stop barking.

Can't you see it's your master?

Dogs.

They're my pets.

My house is next to yours.

Come visit me anytime.

None of your business.

Get out.

Lord Hawk's woman.

Don't touch.

Ma'am, leave Bro 9 a life.

Get lost.

Bro 7,

you get out too.

Bro 9, be careful.

Bro 7, Bro 9 is doomed.

Lord Hawk.

Let's go.

Bro 9,

you're drunk.

Ma'am,

why are you here?

Don't call me ma'am,

sounds so old.

Call me Qinglian.

Knotti's last name is Jiang.

He lived at Shanlan forestry station.

His mother Qinglian went missing.

Bro 9, don't go.

Ma'am, have you been here

for over half a year?

Why rush, Bro 9?

We need to respect seniority.

Ma'am,

let me pour you some tea,

roll you a cigarette.

Bro 9.

Who are you?

How'd you know...

Knotti is fine,

he's taken care of.

He misses his mom every day.

The boss sends his lady to see me.

Take me to him.

It's not the right time.

Maybe later

I'm so grateful

I await patronage from the lady.

My honor.

Bro 9.

- Are you all right?

- Thanks for the tip.

You saved my life.

We're brothers.

You're still alive.

Brilliant!

You know how many lives were lost for her?

How did you do it?

Go out for a walk.

Bro 9,

the firepower of Tiger Mountain

covers five mounts and nine bunkers.

It's an impenetrable defense.

Show me, open my eyes.

On the opposite side

is the fortune rock

of Tiger Mountain,

the King's rock.

A brilliant man once foretold

it symbolizes Lord Hawk's throne.

To the north of the King's rock,

there seem to be no defenses in place.

On the Eastern cliff there are

open and hidden arms.

Isn't the North overlooked?

It isn't.

The Eagle Beak there is like a hanging lamp.

Look, Bro 9,

a valley, right in the middle.

So what bastards can come up here?

Only the heavenly soldiers can fly this way.

Lord Hawk,

Hu joined us without being tested.

It isn't proper.

After the Japs retreated,

a 2,000-man troop

was defeated by eight of us.

How did we do it?

Lord Hawk was astute and circumspect.

You used spies.

Therefore,

I hate spies the most.

Bro 9.

Stop barking, one of ours.

- Where are you going?

- I go pee.

Me too.

Bro 8, men aren't dogs.

We can't treat them like dogs.

What's wrong?

I treat them well.

They're fed every day.

They actually enjoy it.

We can't live by bullying others.

We have to be refined.

Should hope for peaceful life.

Peaceful life?

What is peaceful life?

Brothers, fight the PLA!

Fight the PLA!

Damn it, the PLA is here.

Bro 9, grab your gun and kill the PLA.

Go.

Damn,

at least there's a company.

Bro 9, look.

Sh*t, aim precisely.

What kind of marksmanship is that?

Blind?

Bro 9, have some fun.

He dares not shoot.

Son of a b*tch.

Bro 9.

Brothers,

fight hard and kill the PLA!

Bro 9 is brilliant.

Keep an eye on him.

Bro 2.

Stop.

Bro 9,

stop at once!

Stop firing.

Son of a b*tch.

Stop firing.

Stop.

Bro 9, this is a drill.

Drill.

They're our brothers.

Our brothers.

Damn you.

Are you kidding me?

A drill?

Killing so many.

Bro 2.

The men are here...

you might as well give them to me

I'll take them downhill

to practice looting.

Lord Hawk, what do you think?

Tell Bro 5,

if Hu plays a trick on us,

bring back his corpse.

Sure thing.

- Bro 5, you lead the way.

- Okay.

Brothers,

follow my orders.

We go downhill, we start looting.

This is a rotten idea of testing Hu.

At least it proves Hu

isn't a PLA spy.

One Word:

Why weren't you down there, being blown up too?

Brothers,

let's race to the opposite slope.

No. 1 gets $5.

No. 2 gets $3.

No. 3 gets $1.

Charge!

Bro 8,

I remember

there was a grove.

When was it cut down?

Really?

Maybe it's for the winter.

Before the snow'll seal off the mountain,

we must gather enough firewood.

Lord Hawk forbids the felling of trees uphill.

So our brothers must have chopped these down.

Clever, it's a shortcut.

Son of a b*tch.

My belly aches.

You wait here

I'll find a place.

Mine aches, too.

You wait here, I'll go as well.

What do you want?

Let's follow

I'd say...

watching me crap?

That's new!

You got sh*t in there?

Then take a crap.

No sh*t? Don't crap.

And don't watch

I'm talking to you.

Idiots.

- Sh*t!

- Take a hike!

- Ignore him.

- I can't crap with you here.

Never had to crap with live gunfire.

Bro 5, is there a trick to it?

You wanna kill Bro 8, too?

He's taking a crap, too.

Bro 8,

brought any paper?

Just pick it out

I'm not used to that.

Forget it, I'll handle it myself.

What are you two up to?

Interested in your dad's butt?

Like to watch?

Don't you ever crap again.

Once you do it,

I'll shoot your butts.

Stop nagging.

- One more word I'll geld you.

- What?

Nonsense.

Goddamn enjoyable.

They're after my butt.

Who's after your butt?

You son of a b*tch.

No respect for your elders.

We're all brothers.

Let's go

Yang suggests that

we go up Tiger Mountain's north cliff

and sneak attack the Tiger Fortress.

On the map,

the north side of Tiger Fortress

faces Eagle Beak.

Who's been to Eagle Beak?

I've heard of it, but never been there

I've been there. I'll lead the way.

You've been to Eagle Beak?

My dad used to take me

I know how to get there.

But it's all precipices, can we manage?

If Yang suggests it,

he knows

I can go up there.

Knotti, let's go

and prepare the skis.

- You know how to ski?

- Who doesn't?

Okay.

Go.

Chaojia, you take five men

and scout with Knotti at Eagle Beak.

Yes.

Knotti's mother Qinglian

is on Tiger Mountain and she's fine.

Don't tell Knotti.

Remember, we can't let him know.

Knotti, follow me.

- Don't lag behind.

- Try to catch up.

Little Knotti,

come closer and don't get lost.

Closer.

Knotti, slow down.

Catch up with him.

Don't lose him.

That's something, Knotti.

You ski really fast.

We should be your apprentices.

What does that mean?

Learn skiing from you.

No problem, that's easy.

There's Eagle Beak.

Let's split up and check it out.

Go

Yang says opposite to Eagle Beak is

the Northern cliff of Tiger Mountain.

But the cliff is too steep.

What?

You bragged that

nothing could stop you.

You're cowering now?

I have an idea.

You sing well, Lord Hawk.

Where is Knotti?

Take me to him.

Listen to me

I found this in Hawk's coat.

This is Tiger Mountain's map of secret paths.

We can escape with it.

If Hawk discovers it,
