When a group of British soldiers are sent on a mission behind enemy lines, things don't go exactly to plan.

But if we could kill their Major...

they wouldn't have anyone

to tell them what to do.

They'd be running about all over the place.

Might give us a head start.

And that little bastart's been asking for it

for a long time, hasn't he?

This way.

Two minutes.

You now have only one and a half

more minutes, gentlemen.

- Stand them to, Sergeant.

- All guns stand to!

The rest of you keep back!

Out of enemy range!

It worked.

They've gone back.

Don't forget to zigzag.

You zig, I'll zag.

Look there!

There they are!

Can you make out which ones they are?

Lay down covering fire, Sergeant! Hurry!

Give those men covering fire!

Correct right, Sergeant!

Three turns more right!

More left!

Come on!

- He's all right.

- He's alive.

- He's getting up.

- He's alive!

Cease fire!

All guns cease fire!

Machine gunners,

stand by to give us covering fire!

Take it easy, lad.

Were there any other survivors?

Was it just the two of you?

Who was that with you out there?

I said...

who was that with you out there?

Out there...

he was a bloody hero.

He killed...

fifteen bleeding Japs...

single-handed.

Killed fifteen?

Thirty, if you like.
