AND BECOME COMMANDER IN GENERAL OF THE "UN FORCES"
solemnly swear an oath to serve faithfully
and faithful in the performance of his duties
as commander of the United Nations force.
The red team represents China.
We are the green team
We will surround them from behind and destroy them.
[8th Army Van Fleet Commander]
China really has no defense capabilities.
Meanwhile, the east and west coasts of Korea
We will land as planned
and when their defenses are weak, We will bring in tactical air units
cutting off their retreat to China.
I want you to attack directly
in front and rear in a pincer strategy.
They would not be able to resist such an attack.
When arriving at the banks of the Yalu River
We must have left the body behind of hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops.
If the plan is to land their troops success behind us
we really have to face it
the risk of being completely destroyed.
During the fourth military campaign We're back south on the 38th Parallel.
If we come back again
Where do we go back?
Back to the Yalu River?
To have strategic initiatives
We must attack before the enemy.
Facing death, we will fight with our lives.
General Peng, the reinforcements are still young
and after such a great battle, then another battle
must be very tired.
- We need to rest and reset. - You're the one who needs to rest and reorganize.
What about enemies?
They need to be too.
But they are preparing an attack.
Before they can do that
HONG Tuyet Chi, Deputy Commander of the Volunteer Army People of China
Let's attack first.
We will prevent them from landing
[HAN TIEN SO, Deputy Commander of the Volunteer Army People's Republic of China]
and grab us with pincer tactics.
Ly Mac Am!
Yes.
He often stayed with the army.
He knows our situation as well as the enemy's.
What do you think?
I agree with General Banh.
Instead of retreating to the Yalu
We better attack.
There are no other options.
APRIL 1951, THE VOLUNTEER ARMY AND THE PEOPLE'S ARMY PREPARING FOR THE FIFTH BATTLE.

Mr. Trieu!
Why doesn't it work?
This baby,
[UNDERSTANDING, English interpreter 63rd Volunteer Corps]
Don't be naughty.
So you guys are talkative dads, right!
What should I call you, Mr. Trieu? Uncle or Dad?
The 63rd Army had many American prisoners of war
waiting for me to translate.
Don't fool me. The 63rd Army had not yet fought.
Dezi, the 63rd Army is not far away.
- I want to have a drink first. - Good.
What are you doing? I'm asking you.
Let's talk!
Which unit are you from?
I'm asking you.
Let's talk!
What are you doing?
Come on, answer!
Stay away!
Why did you push him? What did he do wrong?
Why did he take pictures?
Don't you understand? Why not let those who sacrificed rest in peace?
I'm a casualty documenter. That's my job.
I took pictures of the fallen, Record their names.
This is our tradition.
You are the one who helps Death.
Who do you call Death's helper?
Is that wrong?
Their families need to know where they are
and how they died.
I do this for many years to come
everyone will be able to remember them.
He is the only one without an identity.
What is his name?
The late Thu Chau.
Mechanic, 2nd Army Corps, 19 years old.
We call him Nhoc Chau.
He is a postman from his hometown
when running past enemies.
- Where are you going? - Army Corps 63.
Is there a lighter?
Mr. Trieu!
He also wants to join the 63rd Army.
He brought with him a transfer letter. Let him come with us.
Of course, please call me Trieu's father first.
My father is in Korea.
If you want, I can call you dad
You have to get in line first.
Get in the car.
Comrade!
Did you see the injured man?
He is very tall. His wound has healed but I don't see him here.
- Didn't see him. - Alright.
Go to the other side.
Who are you?
[TONHNH, Wounded soldiers and volunteers Rear hospital]
I'm talking to you.
Ly Mac Am!
He didn't say he was going to join the army.
- You're busy, General. - He was worried that I would refuse.
- Army Corps 63, Division 189? - Correct.
The 63rd Army has just arrived.
They have no experience fighting the US.
And the battlefield is flat.
Not knowing how to stop enemy tanks.
It's the truth.
I heard your son is in Division 188.
Not just my son. My daughter is also in Korea.
I haven't met them yet.
But there are three of us here.
This is our chance to be together.
Take care.
Wait.
This candy
of an 8 year old child
put it in a letter to the Volunteers.
When he met the 188th Division and met his son
Please give this to him.
Temporary garrison of the 188th DIVISION, CHINESE PEOPLE'S 63rd VOLUNTEER CORPS
Raise your head, puff out your chest!
Show discipline, 1st Battalion!
You knew I would come.
The division commander told his son.
I didn't mean to say hello to you
Just observe your child from afar.
That's right.
If fathers can't set an example, who can?
We're both here and dad didn't say hello.
Dad wanted to go to the South to join Division 189.
Division 189.
Dad,
How is Ly Hieu?
In the letter he wrote that he had come here.
Don't know where it will go.
I have to go.
They are waiting for your instructions.
So that's your battalion.
You must fight tenaciously.
Don't get hurt.
Please welcome our commissioner want to convey something.
Listen, 1st Battalion.
The 188th Division could not participate 5th military campaign.
Leaders give us orders
infiltrate Rimjingang.
We will fight with the Belgian Battalion.
I heard they are very tough.
But what are we made of?
Made of steel!
Now clap your hands!
- Dismissed! - Yes, sir!
- Who is that? - My father.
Your father?
Oh, I forgot!
No problem.
Why is there an enemy in the rear?
[VU BINH CHAN, Returned military expert]
TRUONG HUANG HANG, Protection of military experts]
He's one of ours.
You have to warn them.
Lie down. The enemy is shooting at everyone!
Watch!
Snipers!
What is he doing?
Let's see.
Damned!
Nice shot.
Get in the car!
My name is Vu Binh Chan. I joined the 63rd Army Corps.
I'm Ly Hieu, also joined the 63rd Army.
I am Duong Sa.
Transferred to Army Corps 63 who wrote documents about victims.
A commendable task.
And this person
Comrade Trieu.
Truong Hieu Hang. He is like this...
- I'm his bodyguard. - Are not...
- Didn't you say you weren't a bodyguard? - That's my job now.
2 out of 3 people died. Even though I'm human In the end, I will still protect you.
And this comrade is...
Gauntlets.
A great battle took place here
by Regiment 335, Company 3 of Army Corps 3.
Are you fighting here?
The medical report said his name was Ton Tinh.
But he wasn't awake. He doesn't remember anything.
Have you ever fought there?
Don't ask him.
That's called shell shock.
I saw this in Europe during World War II.
It was as if his memory had short-circuited.
Every part is there, but cannot connect.
He is often in a state of shock.
Only when memory is enabled
will be able to recover.
Order the entire army to attack south.
Specifically, the 63rd Army
must penetrate the enemy's defenses at Rimjingang.
The Chinese army is still attacking.
Order the soldiers to withdraw immediately.
Let them chase us,
No confrontation, no return fire.
At the same time, bomb their supply lines.
When given the opportunity,
Let's go back and launch a raid surprise attack at a prime location in Cheorwan.
Ready, General!
- Return to base! - Ready, General!

Tanks will not be able to get through.
We'll stop the tanks and...
close combat.

If you get carried away, Blow the trumpet in memory of the fallen.
Every soldier
Must stick like a nail

Welcome back.
Let's hear this!
Come on!
Deputy Team,
I am Duong Truyen Vu
from your old 3rd company.
Duong Truyen Vu.
Welcome!
They stopped shooting.
Is that a habit of American soldiers?
Every two hours there is an artillery shelling.
Say it.
Any news about my dad and the others?
We should send a platoon with ammunition to the 189th Division.
If you're the commander, I'm sure you'll meet him.
- Really? - Correct.
If so then I will do it. Please defend this fortification.
Ly,
- Where did your sister go? - Front line. To broadcast the news to the US.
Wait a minute.
Catch.
Spoils of war from the enemy.
Thank!
Go!
- This is the script. - Thank.
Nothing.
The enemy has been destroyed!
- Let's keep moving forward! - Yes, sir!
Snipers! Take cover!
Attention! Hey American Armed Forces!
This is a radio program of the Chinese Volunteer Army.
In the past three days,
we stubbornly resisted
and slow your advance towards Cheorwan.
If you keep trying to get to Cheorwan.
You will face even stronger resistance.
Don't listen to her guys!
Please consider this warning.
If you don't want more casualties, Please stop the attack immediately!
Come home!
Cook the meat you bring
Is this your first time making meat for me?
Only once every 20 years
and this is western food.
- This. - Great.
Still hot.
Let me know.
Is mom good at cooking?
You don't want to forget, right?
I came all this way just to make you tell a story.
Alright.
I will tell you how your mother died
because of something I told dad.
I said, if we don't meet again
there will be no more chances.
Ly Tuong,
When the child was born, he was taken away
went to live with his grandparents.
Father in Shanghai in 1927.
That year the revolution broke out.
The Kuomintang also captured Dad.
They tortured Dad but... Dad escaped.
That night it rained.
Dad ran home
but I didn't see my mother there.
Only Ly Hieu was born and cried continuously.
A traitor betrayed your mother.
Secret agents came to the house to arrest mother and child.
Something I couldn't imagine
was that night
Turns out mom and dad...
together in the same torture room
but didn't know it.
Your mother was tortured to death.
Dad really wishes
Mom is the one who should escape.
Why have you never told me this story?
Ly Tuong,
Dad didn't tell me
because it will be very painful.
The two children are still young.
Dad entrusted Ly Hieu to a safe family to take care of.
From then on
our family
scattered everywhere.
Dad only met you two a few times
before independence day
That's when we finally meet again.
After winning here we will go home to our three
will be a happy family.
It's great.
Dad!
Ly Hieu!
What are you doing here?
Dad, if Mom could see us together,
Mom must be very happy.
The second brother took the child to the rear base.
Out of respect for my mother, I stay here.
Dad, do you see? He doesn't want to obey me.
I cannot control it.
So I'll just stay here.
We will all stay here.
Our family
have been reunited
in Korea.
Dad still has the key to our house.
Dad, last year I went to the United Nations.
I also brought the house key there.
After I prayed to the mission leader
Allow me to join the team in Korea.
Where?
Both are there.
There they are.
Soon, my wish came true.
Go.
Dad, I swear
because now we have met
no matter how difficult the battle is
will also be worth it.
Ly Tuong, the enemy is here.
Bring your sister home quickly.
- Go now! - Yes.
Go!
- Fast! - Dad!
- Come back here! - What?
Catch!
It's General Banh's.
Cheorwan's defense depends on you!
Be calm. You are my son!
Dad! You are my daughter!
I will take care of my sister.
Take care of yourself first.
Be careful, father!
Dad, see you again!
Thai Truong Nguyen,
he fought well.
Division 189 is completely defended.
Return to Cheorwan immediately.
Command headquarters, bombers are targeting and the 189th Division outside Cheorwan!
Bombers attack!
Spread out!
Fast!
Fast!
Spread out now.
Hurry up!
Withdrew!
Return to Cheorwan!
- Bring wounded soldiers! Bring wounded soldiers! - Yes, boss!
- Bring wounded soldiers! - Return to Cheorwan!
Quick, retreat!
Hide!
Connect the walkie-talkie to the microphone.
Command, Command,
commander of divisions 187 and 188
immediately complete the defense of Cheorwan.
Don't worry, sir,
The 189th Division will survive to the end.
Commissioner, we can't hold out here.
Ly Tuong, that's your father.
Ly, find a new position.
Change location.
- Help injured people. - Yes.
Ly Hieu, come here.
Listen carefully.
Quickly change positions!
Dad's voice?
Command,
please remember this and send it...
Find shelter.
Artillery fire will arrive soon.
Find a place to hide.
Don't rush to fight, defend!
Let's let the enemy advance deeper, okay?
Approach from behind
and targeted their officers and sergeants.
Don't be fooled if you hear Chinese.
That is a trick of the enemy who wants to trap and kill us.
Bullets!
Are there any more bullets?
The enemy attacks.
This is Battalion 3, Platoon 1, Company 2. Watch out for artillery fire!
Trumpet, blow the signal of respect!
This is the lesson from the sacrifice of Division 189.
- Please record this and pass it on to everyone. - Ready, sir!
Stop!
- Stop! - I want to see dad.
Stop!
Dad can't die.
He cannot die.
Comrade,
The trumpet tells us
We can go back to Cheorwan.
But many of us have disappeared.
We must find them.
Survivor
must go home.
Reportedly, they had penetrated the defense line of the 189th division
- and is coming towards us. - Got it.
Yes, sir!
- Ly! - I heard.
Trinh,
department requires negotiation.
I will go.
- Prepare to face the enemy. - Good.
Duong Sa! Let's go.
Battalion Commander,
What can I do?
Today I want to hear opinions โfrom people using these imitation weapons
about problems, if any.
Did you take this photo?
Am I lying?
Please,
- tell me the problem. - They are very good.
Very good?
What do you mean?
30 kg of explosives cannot blow up a tank.
But this thing can go straight through.
No problem!
He thinks he hasn't done enough.
- Is that a problem? - That's the problem.
But
We are working on it.
Believe me.
This bazooka is really sturdy.
But
more than 30 meters is less accurate.
It must be airtight.
Damaged steel or used rubber will not be effective.
Professor,
This grenade cannot be thrown straight.
But we will think of a way
to fix it.
We are still testing.
Keep the direction of the grenade's tail.
But
Chinese grenade tails have not yet been standardized.
I'm curious to know
What are you doing,
How did you find the problem?
To throw accurately we threw it from close range.
- How close? - 10 meters.
Anti-tank grenade
lethal radius is 20 meters.
He couldn't survive a 10 meter throw.
I need real data, don't take it lightly.
What nonsense is this? Not me.
So who is it? Call him here.
I was mowed down by machine gun fire.
So the sergeant took the grenade
- and threw it. - Call him here.
Sergeant Vuong Thuan Sinh, from Giao Dong.
While attacking enemy tanks in Rimjingang
he lost his life.
"Throw from close range".
A copy of the American recoilless rifle.
That's good
but a bit heavy.
More than 100 kg with gun carriage.
If a soldier cannot retreat 30 meters
in a minute
that would be a problem.
This weapon's range is 300 meters.
Why within 30 meters?
We lack training.
We don't want to waste ammunition.
To make sure
We had to get as close as possible.
We have too few weapons.
If we don't repel them we will run out of ammunition.
Therefore,
We want light artillery.
"Recoilless rifle...
shoot at close range".
What is your casualty rate?
If we attack a tank
3 teams entered
and if all goes well a team will return.
Professor, can I have some hawthorn berries, please?
Each person takes one.
Thank!
Open fire!
Reload! Reload!
The enemy is approaching.
ON JUNE 5, 1951, THE โUN ARMYโ BEGINS DIRECTLY ATTACK THE DEFENSE POSITIONS OF THE 187TH AND 188th DIVISION.
Fast.
Bring your device, hurry up!
A barrage of artillery shells, ready to fire!
Professor,
Make us good weapons to fight our enemies.
Sure.
Let's go!
What are you doing?
Want to fight.
Come back.
Ngo Thua Thanh...
Ngo Thua Thanh...
stop!
Send a three-tank patrol to check the waters,
sent several armored units to enemy lines to reconnaissance for firepower.
Yes, sir!
Ngo Thua Thanh, stop!
Don't run anymore!
Keep running, you will enter enemy territory.
I want to go to the front line
to see how they use my weapons.
- Come back! - Let me go.
Beware. Three enemy tanks ahead!
Come back quickly!
Team 3, forward! Attack that tank!
Then just go.
I don't want to worry about you anymore.
Go.
Team 3, attack!
But I thought you didn't want to worry about me?
If I don't take care of you, you will die. Don't move.
Let's go.
- Are not. That boy. - Do not!
- Hurry, help him! - Come back!
Let's go.
Boy!
Come back, kid!
- Return. - Hurry up.
Just like his sergeant
he attacks at close range.
Stay away!
Ton Tinh!
This.
- I'll take down another one. - Bring a few people and then shoot.
Okay.
- Try your best! - Sa!
Duong Xuyen Vu! Let's go.
Trinh, please protect me.
Use grenades to create dust.
Obstructs the tank's visibility. I'll hook it down into the trenches.
Do it.
- Take down that bastard! - Yes sir!
Grenade.
I don't see anything.
Continue.
Ly Tuong!
Grenade!
Why doesn't it move?
I'm trying. What's stuck?
They are stuck.
Stuck!
Take prisoners of war!
Raise your hand!
Go out!
It's the officer, we have to save him!
Beware!
Raise it!
Let's go.
Last one left!
Come on!
Positive!
Let me do it.
Alright.
Duong Truyen Vu, spread out and hide.
Yes.
Get the bazooka. Shoot at the cannon.
- Fast. - Yes, sir!
I can't shoot it. Can't shoot.
Open the safety latch.
Sergeant!
There's the bazooka. Destroy him!
Duong Xuyen Vu!
They are approaching us from three sides!
Positive!
This is bad, he's under our tank!
Damned! He's too close.
Duong Sa! now!
I will come closer.
Duong Sa!
Oh, I'm dead, step back! Back off! Withdrew!
Open the safety latch.
Why did you push me?
You're too close.
Duong Sa!
You made me aware of who I am.
But you didn't tell me who you were.
Follow me.
Metal-one called out to the commander, he said there was no Chinese heavy artillery.
So explain how the hell they took out two tanks!
Warhammer, come on!
Yes, sir!
Warhammer questionable distance to target and time estimates.
The distance is 300 meters.
Follow me!
Estimated 8 minutes.
Make it 5 minutes. Speed โโup.
Yes, sir!
Hurry up!
Faster!
Commissioner,
Their infantry, tanks and artillery advanced simultaneously.
- Be careful. - Yes, sir.
Hurry up!
Increase attack speed!
Shoot!
200 meters, approximately 2 minutes of close combat!
Commissioner!
- Commissioner! - Professor Ngo.
Their troops advanced too quickly.
Their infantry advanced straight in after firing.
Get ready for close combat.
140 meters.
We encountered no resistance.
Get ready for battle!
120 meters.
120 meters.
Shall we cease fire, sir? 100 meters already.
100 meters.
Shoot!
70 meters.
70 meters.
70 meters.
60 meters.
They shot like crazy. They shot at their own soldiers.
50 meters from enemy lines.
Warhammer is in the danger zone!
Cease fire!
Cease fire!
Warhammer! Warhammer! Did you hear that?
- Listen clearly! - Front!
Go ahead!
The enemy is coming.
Come out of hiding! Prepare for battle!
Shoot!
Shoot!
Shoot!
- Protect enemy positions. - Understood, sir!
Ton Tinh, the enemy has breached our defense line.
We are in danger. Close combat.
Yes, sir!
Let's keep moving forward!
- Professor Ngo, go back. - I get it.
I won't cause any trouble.
Trinh!
Run!
Duong Sa!
Command!
Sir, Warhammer is facing with heavy enemy fire.
Suffered many casualties
Warhammer retreat allowed.
If the trenches were filled, how could they fight?
You know what I mean, right?
Yes, sir!
Look.
That... America uses tank bulldozers
to fill all the trenches built by the 188th Division
and our soldiers can no longer hide.
Truong Hieu Hang,
Find the leader and report. We have to shoot them.
Use heavy artillery
large caliber to destroy them.
And the problem is solved.
Wait...
This time
I promise I won't run anymore. I will wait for you here.
Go.
Why are you still here?
- The 188th Division does not have heavy guns. - No way.
They couldn't get through the bombardment.
Each mortar round costs one life.
The 188th Division could only hold out.
Shoot!
Everyone, listen to this.
Looks like enemy troops
won't stop until they take Cheorwan.
We cannot hold defensive line 1.
We have to go back to line 2.
We have a lot of opportunities there!
Yes, boss!
Let's go!
Commissioner.
You come with me.
- Let's go! - Fast!
Commissioner, everything is ready.
Let's go!
Our decision to withdraw
is to make them think we're running away.
I get it.
Hold on.
Commissioner.
Done.
- What is your plan? - Don't be afraid.
They are coming.
Stop!
It's so quiet here.
Yes.
It seems they have retreated.
Please keep this position safe.
Go ahead.
Keep moving!
Get out!
Fast! Fast! Fast!
How wonderful!
Come on, come on, hurry up!
Contact Zoning Commissioner Cai.
Tell him we eliminated the enemy and found several injured people.
Dear boss,
The messenger was killed
and equipment is destroyed. We have lost contact.
Prepare blank cannons!
Yes, sir.
- The enemy left a communication device here. - That's their broadcasting device.
Listen, American reinforcements are coming.
The enemy will certainly continue to advance.
At dawn, all our fortifications
will be flattened.
The city of Cheorwan is behind us.
We cannot keep it. As soon as Cheorwan fell,
The 63rd Army had nowhere else to go.
The enemy knows this
and put all our force into taking Cheorwan.
Tonight we must
Disable all tank bulldozers.
This is a matter of survival.
Shoot straight at their lights.
Commissioner,
bullets are ready.
Take explosives from their unexploded bullets
inserted into the bullet casing
and shoot back at them.
Quick, lay mines!
Ly Hieu,
That comrade is dead.
As soon as they explode, we retake defense line 1.
Yes.
Oh no, they turned off the lights.
Americans don't fight at night. They were worried about being ambushed.
By turning off the lights
Our soldiers cannot see their target.
If we cannot calculate the target distance accurately.
The gun attack would probably fail.
So we just need to move forward.
We will lose many soldiers.
I will light flares.
Where the target will appear.
Look into the light and shoot.
That won't work.
Too risky.
- If the enemy discovers us, we will fail. - I know a tunnel is about to be completed.
The intended escape route is near the target.
That will work.
I will find a way to protect you.
Keep in touch.
Li Xiao, the Commissioner needs you at the broadcast station.
Company Commander Ton,
Where are you going?
Secret.
You think I'm an outsider.
Professor Ngo,
There's no one here today
are outsiders.
Good.
Go.
Go.
Let's go!
Truong Hieu Hang,
I never asked
about your family.
My parents passed away a long time ago.
I am the youngest child.
My name is Hieu Hang. He is Tieu Van.
He also fought in Korea.
What about you, Professor Ngo?
My wife
Killed by the Japanese in Nanjing in 1937.
I wasn't there.
This rain
causing this mud to smell sooner
homelike.
Now is the rice harvest season according to the calendar.
After the summer harvest
we grow beans.
You Ha Nam people grow soybeans. In Jiangxi we grow sesame.
That's enough.
You guys make me miss home so much.
This. Dig quickly.
This.
Commander in Chief, we're here. We will get over it quickly.
Be alert, open your eyes,
Watch out for enemy ambushes.
Commander,
we are near the enemy. Right in front of them.
Don't get caught. I have a plan.
Ly understood, turned on the speaker
terrify the enemy.
Hey, American soldiers!
Where are you from?
Is it California?
Or Kentucky?
There is a Chinese folk song about homesickness,
which we sang during the war against Japan.
We use our voices to show off to the invader if...
We cannot be defeated!
The bullets from your guns can kill us,
but can't kill this song!
โช Truong Lao San, โช
โช please say โช
โช Where do you come from? โช

Commander, the tunnel is complete.
Back to position! Ready to attack!
Yes, sir!
Fast!
Sir, flares will mark the target.
Take distance into account. Turn on the trigger.
Shoot!
Attack!
Attack!
In Son Tay there is a locust tree
that's where I live.
My house is in Subei!
- Lan Tao in Gansu! - Tieu Tac, Ha Nam!
I come from Yibin, Sichuan!
Linh Vu, Ninh Ha!
Tianmen, Hubei!
Wuwei, Gansu!
Attack them!
Kill those bastards!
Kill those bastards!
Kill them!
Commissioner!
Let's go!
- Let's attack to regain lost position! - Correct!
Comrade.
AFTER A NIGHT OF FIELD FIGHTING, THE 188th DIVISION OF THE 63RD CORPS HAVE RECAPTURED THE FIRST DEFENSE POSITION.
- Comrades, we have done it! - Hooray!
- Prepare for tomorrow's battle! - Yes, commander.
Fast!
Commissioner,
We took over the 1st line of defense so quickly!
First route.
We will not fall again.
Truong Hieu Hang, come down here.
This is the spoils of war.
I will drive it again.
Not bad, Ngo Thua Thanh!
Someone attacked car number 79!
They drive it.
Chase them!
Shoot!
Enemy tanks are approaching.
Remove them from our position.
Hold on tight!
Ngo Thua Thanh, calm down.
Damn, I'm so calm!
Attack!
Reload!
Prepare!
Calm! Calm!
Shoot!
My glasses are gone! Can't see anything.
Turn right!
Straight forward!
Don't be afraid.
He is going downhill.
Don't let them escape.
Tank 2, go to higher ground!
Understood!
- Faster. Step on the gas. - Okay.
They are too low.
Can't aim.
Damn it, they want to target us!
Slow down.
I have seen them.
Turn the gun to the left!
Shoot!
You know how to drive a tank!
I told you I used to be an artilleryman.
Really great.
Hurry, watch out for the other tanks.
Shoot!
Are you okay?
- Speed โโup. - Okay.
Gunner, reload!
Give me some distance!
Shoot!
Truong Hieu Hang,
it's breathtaking.
Where are my glasses?
I will help you find it.
Professor Ngo,
The leadership provided him with a security team.
I will be responsible to you. My name is Truong Hieu Hang.
Are not.
- I don't need a bodyguard. - How rude.
No one is your "bodyguard".
Your glasses.
I will find your brother.
I'll make him a tank driver
and I'll tell him how you destroyed two tanks.
Good.
The enemy has retreated.
DUE TO BLOCKADE, VOLUNTEER ARMY 63 ENCOUNTERED DIFFICULTIES
IN TRANSPORTING SUPPLIES AND WAVES IN THE BACKGROUND OF CHEOLWON CITY.
MISSION IS STILL NOT COMPLETED. "UN ARMY" IS STILL AMBITIONAL TO OCCUPATE CHEORWON
AND REORGANIZED FORCES. THE ATTACK ON CHEORWON'S DEFENSE IS Activated AGAIN.
Yesterday the 188th regiment fought all night
but American reinforcements advanced to Cheorwon.
The enemy will attack again.
We must find a way to help the 188th division.
Yes, sir.
Up the hill!
That is Jocheon Dam.
- We'll soon be able to walk there. - Correct.
The enemy seems to be retreating.
But they are ready to regroup.
The next attack will be more intense.
What are the opinions of the three division commanders?
[TO TINH, Commander of Division 137, Army Corps 63 Chinese People's Volunteer Army]
My 187th Division
protect Yeoncheon.
What about Division 188?
Depends on how long we can hold out.
If the attack is too fierce we are in trouble.
They have an armored division.
They relied entirely on the mechanized division. So what would be beneficial?
for the defender, not the attacker?
We have an idea.
Command.
We will definitely maintain Line 1 Defense. We consolidate our position.
Good, you have to protect it.
And wait until the ammunition arrives.
- Yes, sir. - And I also have a new mission.
Send a team to infiltrate the Jucheon Dam
Use flood water to block American troops.
Ready to go!
Give me a platoon, I'll go.
Company 3 Platoon 2 has the most soldiers.
He leads.
Platoon 2, Company 3.
That was the platoon I dispatched on the Gauntlet.
This is a big mission.
I know.
Deputy Commander,
- I want to go with you. - Do not.
Please follow up with the Commissioner.
Are not. I want to go with you.
- Why is that, Duong Xuyen Vu? - Deputy commander,
I have to admit something.
Do you remember me climbing into the tank at Gauntlet?
Why don't I blow it up?
I'm afraid of death.
I let the tank carry me down the hill.
Duong Xuyen Vu!
I want to forget this incident and continue fighting.
But the day I saw you here
as if my heart was on fire.
I can't hide that secret anymore.
Vice Captain,
I want to atone for that mistake.
Please let me go.
Take a break! Attention!
Ton Tinh,
come here.
What's wrong, Ly Hieu?
You want to go, and I owe you a thank you.
- Thank you for what? - Saved me in Rimjingang.
Nothing.
You should thank me too.
For what?
Who ordered Duong Sa to read that newspaper?
That's me.
- Right? - That's right.
She was worried about him and couldn't stop crying.
Who wants to cry?
Everyone gather together!
- What are you talking about? - Let's go.
- What are you doing? - Let's go.
- Duong Sa! - Present!
Get down!
Take a picture of the battalion.
- Yes, boss! - Comrade,
since the 1st Battalion left China
We don't have any photos taken together.
Now let's take pictures together.
- Let's come close together. - Good.
Wait for my signal.
In a moment, we'll shout "Battalion 1"!
Show a bright smile!
Correct!
Look at me!
1, 2, 3...
Battalion 1!
Sa, one more thing.
- Please take my sister back to the rear base. - Don't want to.
The next battle will be very dangerous.
- You have to stay away. - Are not.
What do you want to do in the future?
where to go to school,
What job do you do? Marry whoever you want to marry.
No matter what, no problem.
But now
You have to listen to me.
You are my brother.
Look.
Dad said it belonged to General Banh.
Is it sweet?
Correct.
Commissioner,
we left.
Soldier! Step all the way to the left!
Tight lineup!
If you see my father, bring him back here.
Sure.
Duong Sa!
Duong Sa!
His job is to document victims,...
I have always been a soldier!
JOCHEON DAM
That's the floodgate.
There must be someone to take care of it.
It won't be easy.
I have studied this terrain.
If we open the floodgates,
Water will rush to the 188th Division's position.
The mud will hinder American armored vehicles.
They protect it because they know this Dam is very important.
We will attack at night.
Yes, sir.
This is the control for the dam.
If anything happens, just press this button
it will blow up this control system.
No one will be able to open the floodgates.
Look? Our people.
- We'll move now. - Yes, sir.
Let's go.
We sneak up to the roof.
Just hide, don't shoot. Wait until there's shooting in the control room.
When the guards on the roof cry out, shoot them.
Don't get hurt.
- Yes, sir. - Let's go.
There's an attack!
- Don't let them escape! - Attack!
Blast the control system now!
Press that button!
Duong Sa!
How did you get here?
What about you, boss?
Beware!
Boss!
Cover shot!
Boss!
You are injured.
I'm OK.
Duong,
It's almost dawn now.
The enemy will attack the 188th division again.
We must open the floodgates
- and drain the water. - The machine is broken.
We have to force it open manually.
Air strike!
Vultures above the observation post, initiating air strikes
Understood, keep up the pressure, Paratroopers will drop at dawn
The plane took position and began parachute release.
Boss! Parachutist!
Listen clearly, let's start protecting the dam.
1st Platoon is with me.
Platoon 2 is with me.
Formations, everyone stand up, keep calm out there
Sweep toward the reservoir
Comrades, they have landed paratroopers.
Commander Duong and I will lead the sniper team
to delay the opening of the floodgates.
Others opened the flood valve.
Yes, sir.
Hurry up.
Target!
Jocheon Dam, Go!

Comrades,

simply
to convey something to you.

But this will be a very difficult battle,
We will not make it easy for the enemy.
We have now retaken defensive line 1.
But the enemy
will not stop until Cheorwan is captured.
- Are you scared? - Are not!
- Are you scared? - Are not!
I want to show you something.
