[ACE TROOPS]

[Episode 21]

Hello.

Yiye, the prizes of Regiment 720

have been revealed.

You are rewarded as a “Combat Hero”,

and Gao Liang won the First-Class Merit.

The Prize-giving Ceremony

will be hold by the division headquarter.

Yiye, I’m so happy for you.

What about our platoon leader?

What prize did he win?

What?

What about Zhao Hongliu,

Shu Jiagui,

Sergeant Mao,

and all our comrades that have been sacrificed?

What prizes did they win?

[Raise vigilance, defend the motherland.]

Yiye,

you need to stop that. The past is the past.

You need to face the reality and live the future.

Or else the comrades

were sacrificed for nothing.

What’s reality?

Keep studying.

And be a more powerful soldier

that you’ve always dreamed of.

I’ll do the same.

[Carry every red flag.]

She was so reasonable,

and so brave.

She practically thought of everything,

except for

the leaving of our platoon leader.

It’s not that she did not think of it.

Instead, she would never want to think of it that way.

Neither would I.

Platoon leader will be in front of me

once I close my eyes.

I’m afraid.

I have no idea what to do.

I have no idea how to end this.

Afraid.

I’m afraid as well.

I’ve been afraid.

I had a hunch that

there’s a chance

I could never see anything I was familiar with,

and could never come back to my beloved army.

When I was in the mountain

and injured,

I was more frightened than ever.

I felt so wronged.

I kept running in the mountain,

just like running for my life.

I ran to the end of the road,

and took out

the death bomb

and the white rabbit rolls.

That’s when I knew

it was the last minute of my life.

Bro,

and then I started crying,

crying like

a shameless bastard.

But suddenly,

I came to realize that

I did what we had to do

just like my brother.

Nobody was there to stop me.

I calmed myself down right away.

I was not scared anymore,

with nothing but just one faith

which was the last think I did

was killing

all the enemies standing in my way.

Go check on Jiang Nanzheng.

She misses you.

So much

that she doesn’t know how to face you.

She loves you.

You owe her.

Gao Liang.

That’s none of your business.

You care no one but yourself,

your pain, your despair.

What about her?

Yes.

You saved 26 comrades

from the battlefield,

which, for no doubt, a heroic gesture.

It was your day of triumph.

But don’t forget

she was the one who got the artillery regiment on line

which ensured our artillery support.

She was the one who intercepted the messages of the enemies

which made the superior placed orders for firing,

which also saved your own life.

She was the one who saved us all.

She saved Regiment 720,

instead of you.

What...

What right do you have to be mad at her?

Yiye.

Why are you here?

Did you just run for dozens of kilometers?

Look at your sweat.

Nanzheng.

Why don’t you beat me up?

What?

I’ll feel better if you beat me up.

Why are you so funny?

Is that what you want to say to me

all the way running here?

Yiye, what are you doing?

Who’s there?

They’ve just come back from the frontline.

They’ve practically died once.

Let it go.

What’s the matter?

Nanzheng.

I’m such a bastard.

I should not treat you like that.

Did Gao Liang tell you something?

No matter what Gao Liang told me,

it was all my fault.

I should not treat you like that. I’m a bastard.

Nanzheng,

forgive me.

Let it go.

It’s cold outside at night.

Put on a coat, or you’ll catch a cold.

Did I just scare you?

Does it hurt?

It doesn’t matter.

Surviving from the battlefield,

it’s not the injuries

or the pain that hurts the most.

It’s regret.

Regrets for those comrades

whose lives could have been saved but failed.

I know you’re upset.

But we need to stop thinking about things that happened in the battlefield.

Nanzheng,

you know what?

In the battlefield,

when facing the extreme despair,

someone stepped ahead

and took the bullet for you,

sacrificing their lives for yours.

From then on,

your life had changed.

Everything had changed.

You tell me,

how can I stop thinking of it?

I understand.

But since we survived from the war

safe and sound,

we should re-live

our lives.

You know...

When I was in the battlefield,

in the life-or-death moment,

the first person came into my mind

was you.

It’s nice you’re here.

Watch the stars with me.

Talk to them.

I always have a feeling that

the comrades that left us

would go there

and watch us from the sky.

They’re watching us to be better men.

Learning to accept losing the beloved ones,

and accept the imperfections in life

or the regrets in life

is a lesson we all have to learn.

No one can escape from that.

In fact, our regiment

should thank you.

You saved most of us.

But I wanted to save more.

I would never forget

when Xialin asked Sergeant Han, crying,

whether there was radio that would not be broken.

Is there radio that would not be smashed?

Is there any radio?

Is there radio that would not be smashed?

I always feel that

they would not die

if our connections could go through faster.

Nanzhen, listen to me,

human beings are insignificant

facing with the sky.

But we will never compromise.

I believe that in the near future,

as the development of technologies such as modern electronics,

computer and aerospace,

military communication technology

will definitely usher in a new era.

Mule,

do me a favor.

Hu Yang is in America, right?

Have you two been in touch?

She wrote to me before. What’s wrong?

That’s great!

I want to ask her a favor and help me buy a book.

[Store room]

This is the title.

It’s written by an American colonel

named Beckwith.

It’s mainly about special operations.

Take it, take it.

We should not experience all those things

in the battlefield for nothing.

We have to study their method of fighting.

Why are you standing there?

Hurry up and change into new uniforms.

Look alive.

[Store room]

Commander is waiting for us in Room of Company History.

Go.

[Remember the history, continue the honour, demonstrate the past, create future.]

Commander.

Do you know why I gather you here

in the room of Company History?

Today is a memorable day.

Our army, that has experienced gunfire

and countless tests,

will have major changes soon.

The unprecedented disarmament.

Our filed army that is mostly infantry

will be reorganized into a group army

with combined forces of different arms.

The gunfire, assault fire and mobility

of the group army will be improved dramatically.

Our ability for combined training and combating

under modern conditions

should be strengthened as well.

The selection of talents

will conform to the standards of

revolutionization, rejuvenation,

profession and education.

The personnel development of the army

is the top priority.

Even me can sense the crisis.

Commander,

does it mean that

we will be promoted in no time?

More or less.

You need to face the reality and live the future.

What’s reality?

Keep studying.

And be a more powerful soldier

that you’ve always dreamed of.

The comrades that had outstanding performances in the battle

will have the chance to study in the academy.

And they will be cadres

after graduation.

By principle,

whoever won the Second-class Merit and above will get the chance.

You two are combat hero

and First-class Merit winner.

That goes without saying.

I’ve been a soldier for six years

before being promoted.

How long have you been soldiers?

And now you’ll be cadres and make money.

I’ll save all the words of envy.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

Not to waste it.

Before you leave,

behave yourselves.

[Company with First-class Merit]

Don’t do anything wrong

and be punished

like before,

and throw it all away,

understand?

Understand!

[Room of Company History]

One more thing,

the poles in the logistics warehouse have fallen down.

Communication Company will

arrange the re-lining for us.

You two go help with

the digging and stuff.

Why are you staring at me?

Just a few poles

falling down near our company,

and they are all girls.

Shouldn’t you go

and jointly develop the relationship between our companies?

Commander,

that’s not jointly development of company relationship.

What kind of jointly development of company relationship is this?

You’re so inconsiderate

by sending two of your own cliques there.

I’ve not recovered yet.

Can’t you just for once

stop the smartness?

I am not a young man anymore.

It’s not easy for me to survive from the battle.

Shouldn’t I speed up

and date someone?

What will it benefit you two

if I stay single?

Okay, don’t worry.

Leave it to me, Commander.

More.

Slow down, slow down.

Okay?

Yes, okay.

- Yes. - Okay.

- Okay. - Hold it.

Got it.

Mule,

what did you just do?

I told you to dig deeper,

or it would not be steady. You wouldn’t listen to me.

The pole is all tilted.

Shut it.

Come on and help us,

instead of just talking.

How can I help out being a wounded?

Can you two just stop it?

You do nothing but fighting with each other.

Gao Liang.

Help me carry the lines.

Let’s go.

Okay.

You two...

Slow down.

Okay.

Right.

Yes.

- Be careful. - Okay.

Go.

Go.

It’s tilted.

Right, I almost forgot.

What about the thing for the academy?

I was the first place

in the democratic appraisal of the company.

Everything should be fine.

Let alone that

I didn’t steal my Second-class Merit.

Awesome.

Which academy are you going to study in?

Communication Academy.

Not far from Army Academy.

Dozens of miles maybe.

I made up my mind

owing to what you said about military communication technology earlier.

I will not sing anymore.

The army has a full capacity of singers.

Gao Liang will be so sad.

Your songs make us happy.

Which academy are you going to study in?

Engineering Academy.

Why?

Engineering Academy is great.

Most of the students in other academies are from official families.

They think that they are superior to others.

They’re just showing off.

Just like Gu Yiye, right?

It’s different in Engineering Academy.

I was born from farmer’s family.

I have real skills on me,

right?

Who’s there to show off in front of me?

I’ve checked it out.

The ration allowance in Engineering Academy

is higher as well.

24.5 kilograms a month.

I don’t assume you just go to this academy for ration allowance only.

Engineering Academy is far from Communication Academy.

Stop guessing. Give it to me.

Can you carry it?

That’s fine.

What about you?

We are nowhere compared to your combat company.

No quota for us.

I...

just won the Third-class Merit. Not a chance.

Sergeant Han.

Coming.

I’ll go there.

Why are you two sitting down here?

Hurry up and do the job.

- Or else you’ll miss the meal. - Shh.

What’s there to shush about? Hurry up!

Move it.

Stop talking.

What’s wrong?

Mancang delivered the mail here just now.

Xiu found out the fact that

platoon leader Zhang has died.

They told you to hurry back.

Xiu is going back to eastern Guangdong tomorrow.

Comrade Xiu

will not come over.

Didn’t she agree to come over

and check out where leader of the Third Platoon once lived and trained?

What’s there to see?

He was not there anymore.

Wouldn’t she be more upset

seeing the empty beds?

She heard that there were only 27 soldiers in the whole company,

and there’s a dozen of them who have not been discharged yet.

They would be more upset

seeing her there.

The army approved

the application of Xiu,

and bringing home the bone ash of the leader of the Third Platoon.

I’m thinking that

she will be all alone on her way home.

You send

someone

to escort her.

Xiu must be escorted to her home safely.

Yes, sir.

The army has issued pensions for her.

Hope it will help Zhang Fei’s families.

Let’s not talk about that.

The order from the division headquarter has been received.

You

go to Command Academy,

and will study in the intermediate class of commanders.

Don’t come back to the Ninth Company

after graduation.

Go to the Third Battalion

as the battalion commander.

There’re few soldiers in the regiment

who can be promoted from company commander to battalion commander.

You are one of the few soldiers.

Colonel has put in a lot of efforts this time

and promoted you jumping the ranks,

considering your contributions

for all these years,

in case there will be no such changes for you in the future.

Thanks, Colonel!

[We all come from different areas,]

[and gather together for the unified revolutionary goal.]

All of you!

Salute to the hero!

Salute!

[Hongxing Hotel]

What’s wrong?

Close the door.

This is not something

that can be kept as a secret.

It will be found out whatsoever.

You and Gu Yiye,

one of you has to stay here,

instead of going to the military academy.

Why?

Originally, our company

has four quotas for the academy.

We thought that we could use all the quotas.

But the other companies did not accept that.

They reported to the superior

and said that we have less soldiers in the company

thus the quota of going to the military academy is too much.

After consideration, the battalion

removed

one of the quotas,

which means that

you and Gu Yiye

can share one quota only.

Commander,

the reason you told me about this here

is me staying here

and Gu Yiye going to the academy, right?

This is such a disaster.

But the battalion has to make the decision, based on the orders of the regiment.

Therefore, the battalion decided that

we have to

give up the quota.

Have to? How come it’s not Gu Yiye who has to do it?

I won’t.

Why do I have to give up everything for him?

I couldn’t send the bone ashes of our sergeant home.

I couldn’t go to the military academy.

Why are you always

show partiality to Gu Yiye?

Don’t you always say that I’m uneducated?

Now I have the chance to study,

and be educated.

Why would I give up to somebody who are more educated than me?

Why?

Isn’t Gu Yiye escorting Xiu now?

Do you have the heart to take up his quota

while he’s outside of the army?

Then do you have the heart to do this to me?

We do have less soldiers in our company.

Why’s that?

That’s because most of our comrades are martyrs.

What are their qualifications to take up our quota?

No, Gao Liang.

Commander, you don’t have to bother.

Okay.

I’ll fight for my own quota.

I will get my quota even that I have to beg for it.

I must go to the academy.

Don’t you dare to stop me.

Gao Liang.

Gao Liang.

[Coach]

I remember that

the moment I laid my eyes on her,

all I was thinking was that

who this girl was.

Such a pretty girl.

She said,

“Uniform.”

“That’s great.”

“I admire People's Liberation Army.”

Zhang Fei, you go fight your battles.

Don’t worry about your families.

I’ll take care of our mom.

Zhang Fei.

Xiu.

Go repay our country well.

[Coach]

[Unit 53082 of People's Liberation Army]

[Proud of a peaceful motherland, happy for a wealthy society]

The Eighth Squad.

Why are you still talking? Go to sleep.

Company Commander,

I know

you want Gu Yiye to study.

I’m not going to lie,

when the Battalion asked for my opinion,

I took into account the state of Gu Yiye

after his return,

I voted for him.

And

Gu Yiye is suitable for studying.

After my brother died,

I dropped out of junior high school.

Do you know the ranking of my graduation exam?

The last one?

It’s the first, but not last.

I’m the first in the village.

At that time, my class teacher, and the principal

wanted me to stay in school.

They thought I was a good student.

But there is no way.

I have no home.

I have to live first.

Therefore, it is not that I do not like studying,

I do not have a chance to study.

Later,

I joined the Army.

I felt that I had a chance

and had the conditions.

I hid in the quilt to read

and took notes every day.

When I went to work as a public servant for Division Commander,

I took his books to read.

Sometimes I couldn’t finish it,

so, I tore it down

and brought it back to read.

Later, Division Commander discovered it

and punished me for it.

He lost his temper with me.

I don’t want to disappoint Division Commander,

and I don’t want Jiang Nanzheng to think that

it’s embarrassing to know a rough guy like me.

I also worry that when I talk to the educated soldiers,

they don’t want to talk to me.

I also hope that one day

I can wear a big red flower

and stand on the podium,

looking at Jiang Nanzheng

and all of you.

There is another reason

why I try to educate myself

and study hard.

Because I love the army.

I want to stay in the army for the rest of my life,

the army is like my home.

Every one of my comrades

is like a family member to me.

I have thought about it.

Only when I go to the military academy

and get promoted to a cadre

can I have a chance to stay in the army for life.

Otherwise, a few years later,

when I get out of the Army,

where do you think I can go?

I don’t think

you should deny me

a chance to go to school.

Gao Liang,

to be honest,

I just learned today that you think this way.

I’m sorry for you.

I didn’t pay enough attention to you.

Don’t worry.

I will go to see Colonel tomorrow.

If not, I’ll go to see Division Commander.

I will fight with them to the end.

In any case,

I will help you keep this place.

Let’s call it a day.

Get to bed early.

Company Commander,

thank you.

The Regiment has made a decision.

You know

the temper of Division Commander.

There’s no way he’d bend the rules for something like that.

I’ve thought about it.

I give up.

Give Gu Yiye this opportunity.

What did you say?

Whether I read or not,

that’s my business alone.

Gu Yiye goes to school,

it’s a two-person thing.

Let him go.

What do you mean?

Nothing.

Report to Company Commander,

I’m off to bed now.

Gao,

why do you always give yourself up?

Why?

[Youth Restaurant]

[Hongqi Cinema]

What’s up?

Zhang Fei took me to see the movie Liu Sanjie.

Did he?

Halfway through the movie that day, the power went out.

On the way home, we were always guessing

whether Liu Sanjie and Brother Niu

were together.

[Hongqi Cinema]

I don’t know what the result will be.

I guess brother Niu likes Liu Sanjie so much

that they must have become a family in the end.

The folk songs in the movie are wonderful.

Comrade Xiu,

give me a minute.

[Hongqi Cinema]

Fei boy,

we came to see the movie.

It’s Liu Sanjie.

It’s the one we watched halfway through last time.

Did you hear the folk song?

Why are you crying and whimpering?

What are you holding in your hand?

Nothing.

Isn’t this

an urn for dead people?

I was right.

How can we watch the movie

when you bring such unlucky things

into the cinema

and your yin qi is so heavy?

Comrade,

watch your mouth!

Where did the yin qi come from?

It’s none of your business.

What’s up?

Is she your silly wife?

What are you doing?

What’s up?

Well, PLA.

The PLA can't do this either.

You’d better go out and quarrel,

don’t affect us.

What you guys doing? Do you want to see the movie?

It’s none of our business.

Look at these two people,

coming in with the urn.

How can we

continue to watch the movie?

- Get out!
- Get out!

- Get out!
- Get out!

Go away!

- Go!
- Go!

Xiu.

Xiu.

Get out of here.

The PLA is hitting people.

He’s hitting people.

The PLA is hitting people.

- Go!
- Go!

Fei boy.

Fei boy.

Fei boy.

Well,

I shouldn’t have hit you.

But you can’t do this to him either.

He was a brother from your hometown,

a comrade of mine.

He was a hero

who died defending his country on the battlefield.

He should have been sitting here

watching the movie, just like you.

Because he promised his wife that

he would bring her to see this movie.

But he died on the frontline

in order to let you sit here

and watch the movie in peace.

He can’t come,

he can only in this way,

in his hometown,

among his relatives,

with his wife,

sit quietly for a while.

Do not make a sound,

just sit quietly for a while.

Can’t this work?

How could you do this to him?

Sorry, Comrade PLA.

We remember the war a few years ago,

but we don’t remember much after that.

If it weren’t for the New Year greetings at the Spring Festival gala,

if it weren’t for being here today,

seeing you

and your comrade,

we really forgot that

the country is still at war.

Sorry.

Sorry, comrade.

My comrade won’t blame you.

Our sacrifice,

we hope you will forget it.

Only when there is true peace

can there be forgetting.

I didn’t do the right thing today.

I hit people,

and I accept the punishment.

I know you won’t do this.

I’ll do it myself.

Comrade PLA, I’m sorry.

It’s my fault.

I don’t know what’s going on.

What are you doing?

Comrade.

The hero,

what’s his name?

Whose child is he?

He is my Platoon Leader.

His name is Zhang Fei.

Come on.

Let’s salute

the hero.

Comrades,

let’s pay tribute to the hero.
