Ambush Bay Page #5

and don't start firing till I do.

I count three of us.

Well, they don't know that.

Who the hell is that?

Miyazaki.

She's from Long Beach.

- We've got to clear out of here and fast.

- Wait a minute...

I'm not going anywhere with ya.

Maccone?

Ross, too.

Over there.

Where's your radio?

It's shot up.

Can it be fixed?

No. It's smashed to pieces.

Go get Maccone's ammo.

We're gonna need it.

No radio?

I hope you folks

have enjoyed the game

as much as

we've enjoyed bringing it to ya.

Let 'em take you, Ernie.

Look, I don't want

any more medals.

Take it easy on him.

Six months ago,

he was stacking shoeboxes.

Morphine.

Use it.

Ernie...

Which way is your soldiers?

Pretty tough, pal.

Which way is yours?

If you're not true to us,

we shoot you.

Oh, don't do that.

Gettin' shot gives me a headache.

How many men...

your soldiers?

Including the European theater,

I'd say about six million.

If you're not true...

we shoot you, Joe.

Oh, you want the truth?

Yeah, well, the truth is...

I don't feel so good.

Come closer, will ya?

The truth is

that I'm hungry, you see.

And guess what I got to eat

for everybody.

Baked potatoes.

Yeah!

Wait a minute, fellas! Come back!

You can eat these with the jackets on.

The Japanese photographed this

in Hollandia.

They know the invasion fleet will strike

from this side, bypassing Mindanao.

They are prepared for it

to pass right through here.

Have they assumed right?

On the button.

They've laid mines

all through the area.

A minefield means nothing.

They'll sweep that channel

before Mac goes in.

Minesweeper action

won't clear this.

Why not?

They're bottom mines

anchored to weights.

They can be released in waves

by a remote radio control device.

They float to the surface

and detonate.

Any ships passing over when that field

floats up will be wiped out.

What triggers it?

A submarine on lookout duty

especially equipped to release the mines.

Is there any chance

we can head off the fleet

if we get back

to our pickup point?

They sail tonight.

Another 48 hours,

MacArthur will be there.

We'll never make it

back there in time.

Smack into an ambush.

Isn't there any other way of triggering

that minefield besides a submarine?

There's an alternative device if anything

should go wrong with the submarine.

It's at Bucan Bay.

The control center.

That's it, then.

We could set it off

before the fleet passes over.

Sergeant, that's impossible.

You'd never get in,

and you couldn't work the device anyway.

Okay, fine.

Fine. Maybe you're right.

Maybe I can't.

Maybe we're gonna

get ourselves caught.

Maybe we're gonna

get blown to hell.

Or maybe we're gonna get bitten
