wiping out that little forces are left,

Taking over the airbase!

And we, from now on,

Will carrying out a bomb attack

on Guadalcanal's land forces.

This shall also be an attack to show our condolences.

The end.

Salute.

At ease.

Dismiss!

Roger!

270 miles to Shortland Islands.

540 miles.

20...

560 miles?

This is impossible. We can't fight with this distance!

Miyabe, what did you just say?

Why are you always saying such things?

Get yourself together!

You are demoralizing the troop!

Don't you dare say that again!

Platoon Sergeant! Why did you say such things!

In the first place,

Does Platoon Sergeant know anything about Guadalcanal?

I don't, but I know what does 560 miles translate to.

We can only reach there in 3.5 hours.

And this 3.5 hours includes being

on the look out for enemies.

Taking into consideration the

fuel you need to come back,

Fighting in the skies of Guadalcanal

is probably a mere 10 mins.

I can imagine what kind of a fight it will become.

Just as what Platoon Sergeant had said.

What's up?

I am going back!

Going back to do a suicide bombing?

No!

Stop!

Platoon Sergeant...

Yes!

Damn it!

I will seek for emergency help right away!

Do what you can and endure!

Koyama! Hang in there!!

There is no sign of Staff Sergeant

Koyama at the landing spot.

What happened?

At the landing spot,

There were sharks swimming about.

Platoon Sergeant!

Why did you not let him perform a suicide bombing!?

Rather than being eaten by sharks,

Koyama would definitely feel happier dying

courageously in a head on with the enemies!

At that time there was still a chance

that he could have been saved.

Do you seriously think that he could be saved?!

I don't know!

Do you seriously think that he could be saved?!

I don't know!

But if he did a suicide bombing,

he would have definitely died.

You can die anytime, but it takes effort to live on.

Anyway,

There is no chance that we will survive this war.

If I were shot down,

Please just let me do a suicide bombing!

Izaki, you still don't get it?!

Don't you have family?

Don't you have people who will

feel sad for you if you die?

Answer me Izaki!

I still have my father and mother back in my hometown.

Only that?

I also have a brother.

Will your family not feel sad if you die?

No...

Then don't die!

No matter how hard it is, put

in effort to continue living!

Before and after that,

That was the only time that I had

a scolding from Platoon Sergeant.

That's is why his words had stayed

deep inside my heart until now.

The words of Platoon Sergeant kept me going

in an incident after I have left Rabaul.

In 1944, at the Battle

of the Philippine Sea,
