Move the small canon to the rear for now

Yes, sir

Push harder

Get two more people here

Put them inside

Put them all inside

lf a shell lands on them

We'd all be gone

Put them inside

Bring more bags here

Pack it in real tight

lt's for your own protection

Yes, sir

Pack it in real tight

Yes, sir

Hey, Lu

How many times have l told you?

Don't tie it straight

You have to tie it at an angle

Wrap it around twice

As tightly as you can

Got it?

Lieutenant

Last time we tied it at an angle

They ended up not flying straight

They landed on the 5th Company

No sh*t?

Why wasn't l told?

Jerk, l'll kill you

Look

These make obvious targets

Gather everyone together

Place them like you're supposed to

Make sure they're twenty paces apart

No, not this time

Put three in front and three in back

Captain

l found him for you

Good

Over here

Come over

Jiao

Your message bag

Here

Your rifle

Hey guys

l have someone to introduce

This is our company's new Political Officer

Wang Jincun.

Let's welcome him

What's wrong?

Are your fingers frozen?

Do l need to chisel them apart?

Political Officer Wang can read and write

He's your man if you want to write home

Lieutenant Jiao

When we had our victory party at Luoyang

He was nearly choked to death on flapjacks

Lu, Demolition Specialist

Jiang, Sniper

Sergeant Meng

Old Hedgehog

Luo, Machine Gunner

Gong, Ammo Bearer

Call me Blacky

Captain

Captain

l wrote a letter home

l don't know how to write some words

Can the Political Officer fill them in for me?

Get down!

Get in the mine

Hurry, get in the mine, and stay there

Captain

Something doesn't seem right

lt is raining shells

Leave two men behind to keep a look out

Tell the rest to get into the mine

Take the Political Officer with you, hurry

Yes, sir

Get up

Follow me

Don't be scared

Hurry into the mine

Yong and Shun, you two stay behind

Hurry up

Get down

Everyone get into the mine

Stay focused

Hurry

What are you praying for?

Are you praying for the firing to stop

So you won't be hit?

Stop screwing around

Pray with me

lt works

Show me how to pray

You've killed too many people

Prayers won't do you any good

But they were the enemy

Political Officer

lf we make it through this one

Help me write a letter home

But forget it if l'm gone

lt'd be less work for me

And less work for you, too

Make way, make way

Just leave him

We'll drag him away later

He's dead

lt stopped again

Forget about the time

Just listen for the bugle call

Keep your ears open for the bugle call

Has everyone rested up?

When the bastards come to the door

We'll give them what they deserve

Captain

This new guy's a wimp

Don't worry
