[Defying the Storm]

[Episode 36]

Well, call me dad.

Dad.

Captain.

Well, what do you think?

Sir, you're amazing.

It's a bit narrow down there,

but it leads right to the back of the lab.

And there's an iron door
that's 40 centimeters thick

between it and the wind tunnel lab.

In this case, even the 55 kilos missile
of B-25 can't destroy it.

Without a missile that's more than 500 kilos,

my lab is unbeatable.

Although the wind tunnel is narrow,

maybe the first jet plane
in China will fly out of here.

Zhang Qi.

You can blow anywhere.

Try not to bomb this place.

If you blow here up, I'm okay with it,

but Mr. Meng will fight you.

Therefore,

forget it.

I have another secret.

Come on. There is one more secret.

This iron button can control
the iron door when you hit it.

Look.

What do you think?

There's another secret in there.

Come on.

Come on. Here.

Look.

Here we are again after we took a turn around it.

Come on. Hurry.

Come with me. This way.

Just in case, I installed a set of switches here.

Come on. Look.

In case of emergency,
this can also control that iron door.

How? Am I wise?

Minister Tang, here's the order
from Kunming Defense Command.

I know it's hard for you.

But orders are orders.

Our aviation school is obliged
to support the conquest of Mongyu.

But the school is an empty shell now.

Its former main pilot, Zhang Qi, the captain
of Hanguang Squadron got transferred.

And its deputy captain,
Zeng Nianqiao is still missing.

The fighters are almost retired.

Few planes can fly and fight.

Supervisor Bai, I'm not refusing the order.

I can't offer support without weapons.

According to credible intelligence,

Okayama Shinichi is not only a scholar,

but also a member of Panlong Society.

A mission team of the remnants
of the Japanese 56th Division

is active in Hongshi with him.

They know how to fight in mountains and jungles.

Once the mission team makes
Hongshi Lab their stronghold,

and opens the way to reinforce Mongyu,

it's very bad for our troops
in India to capture Mongyu.

Therefore, the Aviation Council

and Kunming Defense Command
gave instructions together.

They ordered the Air Force Officer School
to bomb the stronghold with fighters.

This action can dispel
the bad international influence

caused by the loss of the cultural relic.

More importantly, it'll stop the remnants
of the Japanese 56th Division

from reinforcing Mongyu.

Minister Tang,

it's now or never.

Minister Tang, are you doubting
the quality of my intelligence?

The Aviation Council?

I see.

Supervisor Bai, you have a strong
relationship with the Aviation Council.

It didn't pass the order.

But you're transmitting the order to me in person.

I know your intel must be solid.

My man, Zeng Nianqiao,
the deputy captain of Hanguang Squadron

and my former student, Zhang Qi,

got lost near the mountains
in Hongshi the other day.

Their whereabouts are unknown.

They might be in the target.

While Meng Wuran, Zeng Mu and Ling Wenyue

are all professors of Fuhua University.

They're also in the target.

Besides, they're all influential.

If I ask my men to carry out the task,

how can them escape?

Or, are there other troops that can rescue them?

If not, I'm afraid our people would be killed.

Take Mongyu,

the Chinese troops in India
and the expeditionary forces

can completely open up Ledo Road.

Then we might win the war.

Several people die for the country,

or the world is ruined for several people.

Minister Tang, I hope you think about it.

Zhang Qi and Zeng Nianqiao are both soldiers.

Ignoring that we're not sure if they're in Hongshi,

even if they're there,

it's their duty and honor to die for the country.

Think about it.

Those professors are defenseless scholars.

And that Miss. Meng is weak.

They even dare confront the Japanese.

I guess they're ready to die for the country.

We're soldiers who defend the land for the nation.

But we're indecisive.

I'll send a fighter to complete the task.

We'll destroy Hongshi Lab
and the way to Mongyu at a certain time.

Good.

Supervisor Bai.

Zhang Qi was my student.

I must stress that I accept the order
because I'm a soldier.

Don't read into it.

A top-secret mission.

2127 takes only one bomber, Zou Shenghong.

No gunners or radio operators.

Liu Yaokun is the navigator.

Fly with full missiles
and destroy the target completely.

Return to Longling for refueling
as soon as you finish the task.

Remember, the name of the mission is Hongshi.

It's a top secret forever.

Remember?

Yes.

Dad, what's that light?

Zhang Qi.

Here's a question for you.

What's it on the ground?

Orthophosphoric acid.

Right.

Yunnan is a land of phosphate.

Looks like we got it under Yemang Mountain.

Let it be fireworks for wishing
us good luck tomorrow night.

- Who's it?
- Here's something.

Brother, is it you?

It's you!

Brother.

Donglai.

Donglai.

Brother.

Brother.

- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.

That's great.

Oh yeah, I have something to tell you.

Haichen gave it to me.

He stayed there alone.

Donglai.

Haichen gave this amulet to you.

He must want you to finish what he wants to finish.

He asked me to send the message.

I met Zhenzhu's guard
when I was at the intersection of Hongshi.

We almost had a fight.

If not for that, I'd go to Jianling.

In that case, I'd miss you.

So,

you were in Xiangping.

According to Lu Ziyi
and the regular pace of the army,

the Japanese 56th Division will arrive at Hongshi,

between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m.

If the way is clear, they'll arrive
in Mongyu at midnight, tomorrow.

Looks like they timed it perfectly

to launch an attack in the middle of night.

There's only an hour or one and a half

between the time of the deal and the arrival time
of the Japanese 56th Division.

No wonder Okayama is imperious.

Where's Uncle Meng?

And Haichen.

All that you said makes me confused.

What good would the deal do?

Brother, give me the gun.

Zhenzhu, assign the uncle
who just showed me the way to me.

I have to save Haichen.

I'm afraid...

it's too late.

I don't care. I'll go to save him.

Zhang Qi is right. Sit down.

As the underground party branch secretary
of the Air Force Officer School,

I'm holding the branch meeting before the war

to discuss tomorrow's battle plan.

I talked with Haitang just now.

She'll hold off the enemies tomorrow.

You protect Mr. Zeng to get tung oil.

I'll hide nearby with Chengying.

Deal with the enemies depending on the situation.

We've lost contact with the organization.

Although Chengying brought some news here,

war changes quickly.

All I'm worried about is,

whether our mission will help the whole situation.

Lately, the KMT troops suffered
much great defeat on the battlefield.

Hengyang was fallen in August.

In November, Guilin and Liuzhou were lost.

The forces under Zhang Fakui
in Guangxi retreated from the west,

which made the Japanese troops occupy Dushan.

Although they've withdrawn from Dushan now,

their next move is more obvious.

My analysis is that they might attack Kunming.

In such a situation, the war is getting worse.

Chiang Kai-shek could only say
Guiyang could be abandoned.

But Chongqing must be kept.

That means he's at the end of his rope.

Now we're on the key part of Burma Road.

According to the analysis of Li Donglai's intel,

the enemies will move towards Mongyu

and meet the Japanese troops in India.

We must cut off the side road to Mongyu.

You guys, things have changed.

This is Comrade Gao Lin, the messenger
of the CPC underground party branch in Kunming.

He and Comrade Xu Zhice have
been lurking in the camp in Kunming,

cooperating with me.

Comrade Xu Zhice will guide Okayama tomorrow.

He'll lead them up here.

Oh yeah, Gao Lin brought further
instructions from the organization in Kunming.

Thank you, comrade. Sit.

It's an emergency. I'll just get to the mission.

According to the latest intelligence,

we have to rescue those
professors of Fuhua University,

keep them safe,

and stop the mission team of
the Japanese 56th Division from fleeing to Mongyu.

We should block them

and blow up the way from here to Mongyu.

Now, count me and Zhice in, there are only five people.

Weapons are not enough.

But we must finish the task.

Our suggestion is,

we save Professor Meng together first.

Then Comrade Zhanlu and Comrade Chunjun

will take them out of here with a plane here.

Zhice and I will deal with it here.

You two?

How can you two handle so many enemies?

No way. I'll stay here with you.

No. There's another assignment for you.

You're in charge of the mission of
persuading your father Bai Fei to allying with us.

Comrades,

I have an idea.

May I have the attention
of you two and the organization?

You guys, according to what we know right now,

we decided to carry out Plan B.

We have no guns or ammo now.

We can fly B-25 with missiles.

The potassium nitrate that we made

can only produce four missiles, 55 kilos each.

One for the lab.

The remaining three may be
enough to blow up the road.

The last two, 51 kilos each, are kept for Xishan.

We don't have a control tower.

So, we'll contact each other
with this configuration.

We've been experienced at running
for air-raid shelter over the years.

The success of the operation depends on

whether the signal is conveyed accurately.

Here's the lab.

This is the big tree in front of the lab.

And this is the highland behind the lab.

Here's the apron.

First, set two warning signals
at the intersection and the hillside.

Use bamboo whistles to send the signals.

Comrade Gao Lin is in charge of this place.

No problem.

Set an observation post on this position,

like the first formal warning signal
when the Japanese planes entered Yunnan.

Send the signal once you notice the enemies.

At this site, we can always
observe the situation of the lab.

So we should keep contact at all times.

- Li Donglai.
- Yes.

This position faces the enemies. It's dangerous.

So we need someone who's fast and good at hiding.

Can you do it?

Trust me, brother.

However, which warning way are we going to use?

During the Air Battle on April 28th,

the Japanese spies
signaled their planes with flares.

We're going to play it in their way.

I have them all ready.

This is for you, kid.

I took off several small devices. Look.

These lenses are all useful.

Here they come.

Haitang.

You're like the second warning signal
when the Japanese planes entered Kunming.

You have to resist the enemies,

and you might be in a blind spot.

So, we'll set a mobile signal tower.

Mr. Ling is acting as it.

Zhenzhu.

Here's your position.

It's the highest. You can see the apron.

Perfect to be Wuhua Mountain.

So, I'm the person who hangs the lantern.

Remember,

your task is not to defeat the enemies,
but to keep the signal unobstructed.

Besides, we need a set of
more precise signal language.

Haitang.

I'll show you a set of light codes.

The Japanese won't know
its meaning even if they notice that.

It's called Qiming Code.

What's it?

This is a set of codes I invented
when I was in the U.S. military school.

It's called Qiming Code.

Qiming Code?

The meaning of what I just played is,

I love you forever.

The crucial part of the operation
is the air control force.

I repaired B-25.

I'm familiar with its condition.

So, I'll fly B-25 to carry out bombing raids.

Nianqiao, you need to get the tung oil for me
before 4:30 p.m. with Mr. Zeng.

I have 15 minutes to fuel it up.

Then I'll fly up to the sky at once.

- Zeng Nianqiao.
- Yes.

- Make sure to deliver the tung oil to me.
- Yes.

Target for 2127 is Yemang Mountain in Hongshi.

2127, altitude 1,200.

speed, 400 knots, course 130.

ETA to the target is an hour and 40 minutes.

Kid, hold still.

My oil.

- Smooth.
- Don't worry, father.

What's going on?

- Who's he?
- Father, get down.

What to do?

Don't let them shoot.

The oil will blow.

Don't let them shoot.

Get down, father.

My oil.

Damn. You guys got no sense.

It'll blow.

Don't shoot here.

My oil, my...

I'll fight you!

Don't touch my oil!

Don't move my oil!

Don't touch!

Don't shoot!

Father.

Father.

Father, are you okay? Father.

- Father, are you okay?
- I'm fine.

- Is my oil okay?
- It's okay.

What time is it now?

Almost the appointed time.

Go.

Don't care about me. Go.

Okay.

Why haven't Nianqiao and Mr. Zeng arrived?

Faster! Drive faster!

Okay, don't worry.

Father.

Haitang.

Father.

Haitang.

Father.

Don't touch my father.

Haitang, that's crazy.

Miss Meng Haitang.

Where's Mr. Ling Wenyue?

Do you know where he is?

Mr. Ling has left.

I have the oracle bone inscriptions
of Wuding that you want.

Let my father go before you get it.

She doesn't know where it is.

It was lost in Hangzhou three years ago.

She's talking nonsense for saving me.

You... She's lying.

It has nothing to do with her.

Let her go.

Father.

Donglai brought it to Hangzhou three years ago.

I've kept it for all these years.

I didn't tell you because I thought you'd be worried.

I'm Mr. Ling's student and your daughter.

Let me protect you.

Haitang.

Miss Meng, how can I know you're not lying to me?

No matter how precious it is,

it's just a lifeless oracle bone.

People are more important than it.

I can give it to you.

But you should promise us,

you won't make it harder for all of us when you get it.

Okay.

Mr. Okayama, you should think carefully.

We're in middle of nowhere.

If you don't let my father go,

you can't find it even if you tear this place apart.

Miss Meng, I'll trust you this time.

Release Mr. Meng.

- Father.
- Haitang.

- Are you okay?
- That's crazy.

Listen to me,

Zhang Qi is here, he'll protect me.

You need to leave first.

Are you safe?

Don't worry, father.

Let my father go.

Okay.

Okayama,

you're a famous scholar.

You won't hurt my daughter.

Can I trust you?

Mr. Meng, of course, you should trust me.

All I want is the oracle bone
inscriptions of Wuding.

Once I get it, your daughter is no good for me.

So, trust me, I'm a gentleman.

I won't hurt her.

Mr. Meng, please.

You mustn't hurt my daughter.

Understand?

Father.

Wait for us.

Please.

Miss Meng, can you take me to see
the oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding?

Go.

We found an apron on the back hill.

There's a fighter and a small runway.

So, B-25 is just a cover.

If nothing goes wrong and I can fuel it in time,

B-25 is the first choice.

It can do significant damage.

But if something goes wrong,

I can't drag that big plane.

As for Xishan, although it's an old type,

it's light and flexible.

It consumes less oil.

And with the modification from Mr. Zeng,

I believe it's still the most potent weapon
in the air battle.

But Xishan got a big problem.

It can only hang two missiles, 51 kilos each.

Two missiles are enough to blow up the buildings.

I'm afraid it's hard to blow up
the road with the remaining two.

Please move the table for me.

Mr. Okayama, you said,

once you verified it was true,

you'd let me go at once.

Of course.

Miss Meng, you should give me some real evidence.

Or, I won't let you go.

The evidence lies on
these three cinnabar carvings.

What do you mean?

It came from the Yin Dynasty.

It's been more than 3,000 years.

Carvings of Oracle bones from Shang
were always painted with cinnabar

and buried in the ground for thousands of years.

There's much hematite around Xiaotun in Anyang.

For a long time,

the hematite penetrated into oracle bones.

So, there's cinnabar and hematite on the carvings.

Mr. Okayama, do you accept this conclusion?

I don't deny it.

What you said might make sense.

Mr. Okayama, you've studied
inscriptions on bones for many years.

You must know we can't tell
cinnabar from hematite by eye.

But they're quite different
under X-ray Debye camera.

As far as I know,

Mr. Okayama, you got a fake seven years ago.

You took it to Japan and verified it.

I guess you verified it with a professional camera.

Yes. So?

So,

here's Fuhua University's physics lab.

It just got an X-ray Debye camera.

I asked Professor Zeng to leave it here
so you can verify the oracle bone inscriptions.

Haitang.

As I understand it,

the key of your plan is in Kunming.

You want Ms. Kang to battle Okayama Shinichi

and see who sends out the manuscript first, right?

Yes.

Ms. Kang is busy publishing lately
and she has to contact the major media.

She's as rigorous as Uncle Ling.

Although Uncle Ling isn't with her,

she'll publish Study on the Yin Dynasty Calendar
at the right time.

It's also a battle for Lanshan.

It's 5:30 a.m.

After we verify it's real,

send the telegram to Asahi Shinbun Office in China

and ask it to send the news to the world.

Yes.

They've got the oracle bone inscriptions
and it's being examined now.

Once they verified it's real,

send the telegram to all of the newspapers.

Yes.

[January 21th, 17:35]

Mom, I asked the students of
Left-Wing Association to help us.

We're all your bodyguards.

Okay.

Qianying, there are reporters outside.

I got it.

Mom, I'm going to receive them.

Okay.

By the way, Qianying, you must act with caution.

Don't worry.

Go ahead.

This is the flight lab of Fuhua University.

It's reasonable that there's a plane here.

However,

we can't leave loose ends.

- Blow it up.
- Yes.

Why hasn't Mr. Zeng arrived?

Good news.

I've verified it's true.

Congratulations! Mr. Okayama.

What a shame.

My only regret is not catching Mr. Ling Wenyue.

Or, we can take a photo of him sending it to me.

Then it can endorse my article. Right?

Mr. Okayama,

since you've confirmed it's true,

then keep your words and release me.

Miss Meng, you're very trusting.

What do you mean?

Looks like your father,

Secretary General Meng
is more clearheaded than you.

Didn't he say I was not a gentleman
and I wouldn't keep my words?

Miss Meng, let me tell you the truth,

now your father, Secretary General Meng may be...

Okayama Shinichi,

you're a scholar.

But you're base.

Base?
