Right. Right.

Harada!

Praise and speak to the man.

Stop the singing.

The MP sergeant is in the brothel.

The MP corporal is snoring loudly.

Quickly run away.

You won't get caught.

You won't get caught...

Get in.

Begin military song.

When does it end?

Rain falling on helmets and

crying continue endlessly.

Private Mochida was arrested for

the crime of aiding a deserter.

I request help with Kosugi, Inuyama,

and Mochida's court-martial tomorrow.

Quiet!

Huh?

Not you. The boyscouts outside.

Get them to sleep.

Yes.

Hurry up.

Already gone are the cigarettes.

The matches too...

You go on home, too.

I won't. I haven't finished.

I know what you're thinking. You'll plead

for Kosugi's life while telling me a lullaby.

You're smart, Commander. Shall we

start after we're finished talking?

Hey!

Wait. Stop it!

Stop singing.

Shut up.

Don't be a fool.

Stop it, fool.

Commander, are you trying

to make a fool out of me?

You shouldn't make fun of women

working the sake of the country.

Umm... Well, that's not it.

You have the wrong idea.

I'm not the type of man who

gets involved in that sort of thing.

Then you'll cancel Kosugi-san's court-martial?

I can't promise you that.

Fine.

Alright. Alright.

Leave Kosugi to me.

Hurry. Put on your kimono and go home.

Now I get it.

Get what?

Commander, you're a virgin.

Vir...

Don't get out of line!

Fall in line.

Forward.

Order.

Sergeant Kosugi will command one

squad, attack Fort Yakiba...

and capture it.

Commander.

What about their court-martial?

Huh? Speak clearly. I can't hear with this rain.

The court-martial.

I can't hear a thing.

I'm still giving orders. Stop grumbling.

Sergeant Kosugi, repeat.

I, Sergeant Kosugi, will command

the attack on Fort Yakiba.

Next. Private Inuyama and Mochida will

remain in confinement until further orders.

You said something?

Repeat.

No need to repeat.

Where's the military band?

It was so sudden that they went to...

the brothel.

Huh?

The boyscouts are at the brothel?

You boys slept well last night?

You're growing a beard.

Looks like it.

I'll kiss you.

That's alright.

Alright? You mean yes or no?

I mean no.

You're cute.

His legs are trembling.

I'm soaked.

Be careful.

No need to salute.

Giving command.

Private Harada and 13 soldiers are hereby

under the command of Sergeant Kosugi...

and will join in the attack on Fort Yakiba.

After the attack, the Kosugi unit will hold the fort

and patrol surrounding area until further command.

Selection of weapons will be left to Sergeant Kosugi.

Depart the day after tomorrow in the morning.

During this time the military band

will be treated as ordinary soldiers.
