Training will be left up to Sergeant Kosugi.

Dismissed.

I offer my opinion.

Listening.

The band members are not battle-trained.

Don't you think sending them to Yakiba

is like sending them to their death?

I wonder. In your hands you'll

show them a way to survive.

I don't want them to die.

Fort Yakiba is the battalions...

no, the military's eyes and ears.

Without eyes and ears we can't

know the enemy's movements.

This month alone we suffered

But...

I know.

Being stuck with band

members is difficult for you.

Am I mistaken?

I would use that difficulty to my advantage.

I'd use it to capture Fort Yakiba.

For you to overcome this difficulty...

You must fervently teach them how to survive.

Either kill or be killed on the battlefield.

Survival means winning.

No matter how valiant or elite the soldier,

it amounts to nothing if he dies.

Survival of your group means...

the success of the eyes and ears of the military.

Hey! Don't plunge the rifle!

Your rear is too high!

How will you take a crap if it gets shot!

I mean you.

Huh?

What instrument do you play?

The clarinet.

Fine. Clarinet Battle Death.

Yes.

Listen carefully to the machine gun fire.

I got it!

At 1 2 3 4 2 2 3 4, we run!

Correct. Keep tempo by yourself while running.

Our goal is the machine gun at the fortress left gate.

Forward.

Hey Clarinet! Wake up.

I died in battle.

Fool. You were reborn.

Yes.

Get going.

We'll all be dead if we don't take

out that machine gun. Kill first!

Attack quickly.

Trumpet, go ahead.

Trumpet death there!

What're you guys doing?

Your comrade was killed before your eyes.

Get revenge. Attack the enemy. Charge!

Fine. Completed.

Next. Covert operations!

Silently this time.

Make a noise and you'll be killed.

Springtime. It's March. The snow melts.

If the flower...

blooms.

What was that?

The next village...

Wait there, doggy, please.

What's going on!

You'll regret messing with the military police!

That's enough.

Well done, mostly.

Sneaking up on the enemy is necessary to

capture his weapon and lead to victory.

So written in the Strategic Operations Manual.

I'll arrest all of you for violence!

Silence! Take your complaints to the commander.

I have permission to train using any methods necessary.

Harada.

Yes.

Private Harada will command a separate unit

and crawl toward the open area.

The goal is to get to your musical

instruments that were thrown away.

Repeat necessary?

No.

Fall in.

Yippee!

Forward crawl.

Sweet bunch. I don't want them killed.

Kosugi.

Hurry up and untie me if you're done practicing.

That reminds me. You should know.

Know what?

The conditions when the Yakiba

garrison was annihilated.
