[Defying the Storm]

[Episode 29]

Sit down.

There are only seven of you

left in our aerodynamics class.

If you're not going to die,

then study hard.

In the future,

our country needs science.

Where was I?

Excessive airspeed may generate oil vapor

and block the oil circuit.

To avoid gas plugging,

it's necessary

to use kerosene with higher boiling point.

Okay.

Come on, line up.

Dad, get in.

Hurry up.

Line up.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Everybody go inside. Hurry up.

Get in there.

Line up and keep order.

Our plane is flying so low.

Come on, get into the shelter.

- Hurry up.
- Hurry up.

Come on, keep up.

Wuran,

do you think there's another place

with the words Xing Shuai Xi?

You're such a fool.

Come on.

Yamada is right.

The Chinese air force

has lost the courage

to fight back under the power of the Zeros.

They are afraid to take off.

They're a bunch of cowards down there.

Let's carry out indiscriminate bombing.

Run, kid.

Let's see who hits the target first.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Do you want to be

a rival of the Imperial Japanese Air Force?

You arrogant idiot.

[Public Air Defense Trench]

In the sky over Kunming,

a Chinese fighter plane fights the enemy alone.

He tries to expel

eight Japanese enemy planes.

No, nine planes.

The whole country

is praying for this brave pilot.

Editor Xiao,

what do you think of this opening?

Brother, hold on.

High G-spot roller.

Xishan got rid of the pursuit.

Wenyue,

don't be influenced by that Okayama.

This man is known as a gentleman,

but he is hypocritical in fact.

Because Study on the Yin Dynasty
Calendar is published,

he is anxious.

So he deliberately came to

make trouble with you.

I've read the Study on the Yin Dynasty Calendar

from beginning to end.

It's quite rigorous.

Did you hear what I said?

His soul is still in Yin Ruins.

Haitang,

there's something I don't understand.

Is it because there is a different way

to write the words Xing Shuai Xi

on the oracle bones,

that the Japanese

did not recognize it as Xing Shuai Xi?

This is the most common way

to write Xing Shuai Xi on oracle bones.

This Xing is interesting,

it looks like three torches.

What about word diviner that Japanese mentioned?

Diviner.

I know how to write Ding.

Look.

These are already deciphered and recognized.

Uncle Ling.

Uncle Ling,

I suddenly thought of something.

The oracle bone scholars believe that

the drill, chisel

and burn marks on the oracle bones

were used by diviner for divination,

so they believe that the oracle bones

were used to record divinatory words.

But since I made the turtle shell myself before,

no matter how,

I couldn't make the pattern

exactly the same.

Because the pattern is random every time.

Pattern?

Yes.

If it's random,

here will be millions of patterns.

Then how to divine?

Go on.

So

could the accepted theory of divination

not necessarily be correct?

Haitang,

don't ask if you don't know.

You're not good enough,

don't show off here.

I think Haitang has a point.

But she shouldn't talk nonsense.

Meng,

a scholar should look at problems dialectically,

and have the ability to question authority.

Do you remember the time

when the sceptics denied the ancient history?

All the ancient history textbooks

in our university were changed overnight.

Until the 25th year of the Republic of China that

when a major archaeological discovery was made,

corresponding to the Chronicle of Yin

in the Records of the Grand Historian,

that it became clear that

the history of Shang dynasty was real.

Many universities changed their textbooks

just before the start of classes.

This is the study in the midst of exploration.

So what Haitang said may not be right,

but her mode of thinking is worth encouraging.

Uncle Ling,

Okayama said that

if you can't deliver oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding,

then your Study on the Yin Dynasty Calendar

will not be valid.

In fact…

Let me think about it.

What you said makes sense.

075 report your flight altitude.

Altitude 4,000.

075 pull up to formation altitude.

075 pull up.

Xishan is one fighting against nine.

It won't last long.

075 pull up.

Death is nothing.

Xishan's left wing was shot.

Underwing radiator was shot.

Engine cowl was shot.

What's he doing?

The Chinese are going to crash the plane.

Get out of the way.

The right side

was ambushed by Chinese fighter.

Enemy aircraft lost combat power.

Xishan,

095 reaches formation altitude.

Fight with you.

075 reaches formation altitude.

Fight with you.

Request to perform flying swing.

095, 075,

scissors cross,

tail cover.

I'll pull up to 20,000.

When Zero is overloaded,

its engine may fail.

When I pull the dive,

you find a chance to shoot it down.

Can your radiator hold up?

Just shoot them down.

We've shot down a Zero.

Shot one down.

Great.

075 duration of ten minutes.

075 return.

Repeat.

075 return immediately.

No matter how powerful an opponent is,

he must have his weaknesses.

The weak point of the 96 Land Attack 22

is at its tail gun.

This is its blind spot.

We can enter from the back at a negative height,

and chase the rear of the enemy

from bottom to top.

The Chinese pilot has escaped.

Another 96 Land Attack has been shot down.

Great.

Great.

Great.

Great.

Great.

We won.

We won.

Minster,

three of us fought against 11 in this battle.

With the help of floating bombs,

we shot one Zero fighter,

and three 96 land attackers.

We successfully drove away the aircraft group.

One of our Hawk III was damaged.

Okay,

report to Chongqing.

Yes.

Great.

So great.

Finish the conference first.

Talk about the rest later.

Mr. Ling,

let's get back to the topic of the conference.

A work like Study on the Yin Dynasty Calendar

has been long awaited by our Chinese.

It is no less important than the warplane

that just took off to fight with the enemy.

Likewise,

it hits hard at cultural invaders

who try to reverse black and white.

That's right.

Good point.

On behalf of the financial community,

I am donating to Fuhua University today.

I…

President Hu.

Sorry,

I have to say something first.

Everyone,

you all know that

Ling Wenyue,

I am a scholar.

What I have pursued in my life

is the freedom of being a human being

and the rigor of being a scholar.

I have to tell you that

if the three characters Xing Shuai Xi

are not found in the same expression

on oracle bones and bronzes,

then this single argument cannot stand.

Mr. Okayama Shinichi's question is right.

I'd like to apologize to everyone.

I am sorry.

Please give me some more time.

But now I have to announce that

Study on the Yin Dynasty Calendar

will be discontinued.

What Professor Ling means is that

there are some minor omissions in the book,

- but it doesn't affect…
- Meng,

you are also a scholar.

If the basic argument fails,

the book should be overturned.

Ling Wenyue!

You should support me!

Father.

President Hu.

Supervisor also left.

Mr. Ling,

you really never lie in your life.

Thank you.

Father,

I think Uncle Ling is right.

Uncle Ling,

I support you.

[Ta Kung Pao]

Director,

Zhang Qi just won a big battle.

I'm afraid it's hard

to take Zhang Qi away from Minster Tang.

It's not that easy

for Zhang Qi to become an air war hero.

We have to step in this matter.

I asked you to look into Ding Huansheng,

find out the information.

I'll report the situation to Aviation Council.

Yes.

41,

42,

43.

Captain,

019 got 43 shots.

These bullet holes are its medals.

What's wrong?

We successfully wounded enemy planes
in the first battle,

why are you still so upset?

Actually,

I was trembling in the cabin that day.

Trembling all the time.

I couldn't stop it.

If Nianqiao hadn't told me to fight again,

I might have turned around and run back.

It's your first fight.

It's normal to be scared.

It's not my first time.

In Nanyuan I…

I…

If you hadn't come to save me that day,

I would have been dead.

Then why did you come to the aviation school?

I want to be a hero,

just like Poshan and you.

Do you know

what it was like when I flew 019 for the first time?

The Hawker III sold to China at that time

was an obsolete model.

I didn't expect that

the first time I flew it

the landing gear wouldn't retract.

If Ding hadn't piloted me that day,

I might have fallen to death.

Then I would have been ill.

I couldn't touch the plane for half a month.

I vomited when I touched it.

Very badly.

You were afraid of flying.

Then what happened?

Then Ding was anxious.

He blindfolded me,

took me to the top of the mountain,

asked me to jump down

and said I had to fly if I didn't die.

At that time, I thought

it was inevitable that I would die,

but I didn't expect that

there was a lake at the bottom of the mountain.

Nianqiao also used this trick on me.

So there is no hero.

Some people can survive from death,

but definitely not because they are not afraid.

Instead,

heroes cherish lives.

But they do not cherish their own lives,

but more people's lives.

On the 17th,

you could fight for the land under your feet,

and for the people around you.

Meng Haichen.

Captain, don't worry.

I'm out of it.

The people on the ground are counting on us.

By the way, Captain.

I just went to Wujiaba,

and heard a mechanic say that

Uncle Zeng asked him

for the wreckage

of the fuel tank of the Xishan yesterday.

Zhang Qi, Meng Haichen,

this is Deputy Director Shao of Aviation Council.

He is here to give important instructions

on the air battle on November 17th.

On November 17th, 1940,

Zhang Qi, captain of Hanguang Squadron,

Deputy Captain Zeng Nianqiao,

and team member Meng Haichen,

without superior's order to fight,

disobeyed orders to take off and fight.

It violates the provisions of Article 27 and Article 47

of the War Military Law of the Republic of China

and the Criminal Law of the Army, Navy and Air Force.

Captain Zhang Qi

even detained his superior officer

in the tower.

His behavior was outrageous.

By the order of the Military Law Division

of the Republic of China Aviation Council,

detain Zhang Qi, Zeng Nianqiao

and Meng Haishen.

Soon to be sent to military court for trial.

Captain Zhang,

doesn't this scene look familiar today?

Director Shao,

is there a misunderstanding?

Three of them fought against 11 enemies.

They attacked and wounded four enemy fighters.

It is a great victory.

Why are they sent to a military court for trial?

Minster Tang,

what was the Aviation Council's order

for the Air Force Officers' School?

I have the record here.

The order you gave that day

was to order 075 to return immediately.

This 075 was Meng Haichen's plane.

Besides,

Zhang Qi requested

Hanguang Squadron to take off.

Your answer was that

the two Zeros were still there.

You rejected the request.

I haven't missed a word of what I said, have I?

Lu Ziyi, you...

I disobeyed the order alone,

it has nothing to do with Minster or anyone else.

Not only the captain,

but also me.

And Zeng Nianqiao.

Take them back first.

When we find Zeng Nianqiao,

take them into custody together.

Uncle Ling,

by combining two rubbings together,

is it possible to find the oracle bone inscriptions

that were lost because of the rupture?

Yes.

I'm looking for the same expression of Xing Shuai Xi

in oracle bone and Jin inscriptions.

But, Dad,

the history department of Fuhua

doesn't have all the rubbings.

What if it's not in these rubbings?

So,

your mother went to Chongqing.

I applied to the Institute of History and Philology

to make copies of all the oracle bone
and bronze inscription rubbings,

and bring them here.

It's a big project.

Uncle Ling,

I'll help you with conjugation after school.

Not just conjugation.

The calculation of the Yin calendar

is very complicated,

with more than 20 digits,

and not just once,

but repeatedly.

I wonder

if we should set up a special math group.

I'll ask Uncle Gao from the math department for help.

He made a hand-cranked calculator,

which I heard is much faster than an abacus.

Yes.

How about setting up an astronomical group?

Take out all six calendars

in the history of our country

for mutual textual research.

Okay.

That's a big deal.

We can't even calculate it

until my father's hairs turn gray.

I'll get some students to help your father.

Many people have great power.

Qianying,

let me test you.

What is this character?

Do you know it?

It's fly.

Look.

Doesn't it look like two wings?

Dad,

it was so exciting

when Nianqiao they fought in the sky.

Many of my male classmates

said they wanted to join the army like them.

Dad,

I'm thinking of changing my department.

I want to switch from physics to aerodynamics.

I want to help Nianqiao and others

fix their airplanes in the future.

You're always talking about Nianqiao.

You can't change your major

because of Nianqiao, can you?

Are they all here?

Yes.

Come in.

- Nianqiao.
- Uncle Ling.

- Haitang.
- Talk of the devil and he comes.

You're here.

I'm here.

Nianqiao, what are you doing here?

I'm going to visit my father

to get the altitude test of floating bombs.

And I come to see you on the way.

To see my master.

I'll go with you.

Uncle Ling,

can I take Qianying to see my father?

Let's go.

Qianying,

I often dreamed of your laughter just like that.

Nianqiao,

do you know why my father

allowed you to take me to see master?

Maybe he wants you

to supervise my father to eat.

No.

He doesn't eat well himself,

I even have to supervise him.

Then maybe he thought

it was too noisy in the storeroom.

No, it's not.

Then I don't know.

My dad doesn't object.

He's not against me liking you.

Qianying,

fighting in the sky

is the most dangerous of all military types.

In fact,

I don't want you to like someone like me.

It's late.

I've liked you since I was a kid.

Always.

I'm not afraid of what you said.

Yuanyin,

Haitang,

we are all the same.

As long as we really like someone,

we won't be afraid.

But,

Nianqiao,

do you like me?

I like you.

Is that the way brother likes sister?

Or is it that the way Zhang Qi likes Haitang?

Qianying,

in fact, I…

[Fuhua University]

Are you Zeng Nianqiao?

Yes.

Come with us.

Captain Zhang,

this is our third encounter.

I feel the thrill of meeting a rival.

This time,

I am sure enough to make you sacrifice.

But whether to kill you or not

is up to me.

You and I are both sensible people.

Let me just say it directly.

Oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding

have nothing to do with elite pilots like you.

Why don't you help me find it?

Then I can report to my superiors.

As for all your previous crimes,

I can help you deal with them.

I promise,

not only will you and your men get freedom,

but I'll also give you a commendation

and restore your reputation.

How about it?

Jin Zhilie didn't entrust Zeng Nianqiao,

but you.

I know

you have oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding.

You want to protect it

and those who are related to it.

But if you're not smart enough,

not only will Zeng Nianqiao and Meng Haichen

die with you,

but I won't spare anyone

related to oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding,

including the Meng family.

If you lay a finger on them,

I promise you'll die worse than

those Japanese planes I shot down.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Stand up.

Sit down.

On November 17th,

the case of Zhang Qi and two others

who disobeyed military orders

will now be tried at the Air Force Officers' School.

I preside over the trial

on behalf of National Government Aviation Council.

This case took place in Kunming,

and Supervisor Bai Fei

was appointed to be in charge of
local affairs in Kunming.

So he will supervise the trial of this case.

And Lu Ziyi,

Deputy Chief of Military Law Section of the Council

and Chief of the Political Training Division

of the Air Force Officers' School,

as one of the trial judges,

will ask the accused questions on behalf of the court.

Supervisor Bai…

Director Lu,

please.

Tang Shizhen didn't come?

My father called all night last night.

He said we should go directly

to Director Huang today.

But he said he wasn't sure.

Let's see when we get there.

Take off in five minutes.

Stand by in Chongqing.

Yes, sir.

Tell Shanhuba Airport

to prepare a car for me.

I'll leave as soon as I land.

Yes.

Defendant Zhang Qi,

in the last six months,

what is the air defense policy of Kunming?

War avoidance.

No take off.

Strengthen defense only with multiple alarms

and ground air defense forces.

Avoid unnecessary sacrifice.

Have you expressed your dissatisfaction

publicly many times?

In the past half a year,

the Japanese army repeatedly
violated the airspace of Yunnan.

Our army retreated because of fear,

and adopted the policy of avoiding war,

resulting in damage to the country

and suffering of the people.

The Yunnan-Myanmar and Yunnan-Vietnam lines
were repeatedly paralyzed.

The most important transportation hub

on the Yunnan-Myanmar line, Huitong Bridge,

was bombed indiscriminately

by hundreds of enemy planes.

The air raid on January 12th in Kunming

caused heavy losses

and numerous deaths and injuries.

All of the above

were the results of missing opportunities

due to war avoidance.

I have repeatedly

submit my opinion through normal channels.

This policy was issued by Central Aviation Council

to preserve the strength of our army,

the purpose of which was to preserve our strength

to fight to the death at the right time.

I was ordered to lead Hanguang Squadron

to protect the airspace over Kunming.

On November 17th,

after judging that

the enemy will launch indiscriminate bombings

on our military bases in Kunming,

battle supplies, military and civilian lives

were all within the bombing range.

At this critical moment,

if I don't give the order to fight

and delay the opportunity to fight,

then the southwest front will be lost.

Then how can we talk about

the future of our air defense?

I'm willing to take all the responsibility for this.

Presiding Judge,

from the defendant's words,

it is clear that he defied

the policy of Aviation Council.

He ignored his superiors, and did whatever he wanted.

On November 17th,

he led his troops into the air,

deliberately disobeying military orders.

On that day,

the first commander on the scene

was Tang Shizhen,

the minister the Air Force Officers' School.

He gave an accurate order,

ordering 075 to return immediately,

and denying defendant Zhang Qi's request

to take off to fight.

However,

Zhang Qi led

Zeng Nianqiao and Meng Haichen,

the three of them to take off the planes,

which is a clear violation of military orders.

And Zhang Qi was mainly responsible.

Presiding Judge,

Director Lu,

I see that the minster of the Aviation School,

Mr. Tang, is also the main witness.

It's a pity he's not here today.

Without his testimony,

it's too early to draw a conclusion.

Supervisor Bai,

three ground staff of the tower

on that day can testify separately.

Director Lu, you don't know that

the first commander of Wujiaba military airport

is Minster Tang.

I don't remember an order

not to allow warplanes to take off

to defend Kunming.

Supervisor Bai,

could it be that you…

I wouldn't be wrong about such a big deal.

Director Lu,

hold off on drawing conclusions,

and continue to report the evidence.

Okay.

Please Meng Haichen,

a member of Hanguang Squadron to testify.

How is Haichen a witness?

Meng Haichen,

do you know the crime of disobeying military orders?

Capital offense.

I'll give you a chance now.

Identify Zhang Qi on the spot,

then I'll turn you into a witness.

I won't testify against my captain.

Okay.

Then look at what you did.

Meng Haichen,

on whose orders did you take off that day?

I was ordered by my captain

to act as a patrol fighter

to lure the enemy into the floating bomb area.

Floating bomb.

Is there any precedent for the floating bombs
in previous air battles?

No.

No.

Then I'm interested.

Whose idea was this?

Captain.

Zhang Qi.

When Zhang Qi proposed the floating bombs,

did the team have any objections?

The original words were that

the floating bombs were used

only twice over Chongqing,

and then they were banned by Aviation Council.

I said that.

But the floating bombs

did have a decisive effect in combat.

Sit down.

Be quiet.

Yes,

that's what Commander Chen said.

But our floating bombs

have been safely modified

to avoid the original...

As the witness said,

on November 17th,

Zhang Qi firstly violated Aviation Council's order

forbidding the use of floating bombs,

and then he disobeyed

the war avoidance order of Wujiaba Airport.

Lieutenant Meng,

let me ask you more.

Why did you take off again

when you were supposed to return immediately

after completing the mission

according to Minister Tang's orders?

Who gave you that order?
