1937. Japanese forces invade China.

The battle for Shanghai has been lost.

The capital at Nanjing falls.

Millions of people leave their homes in a mass migration for survival.

Chinese forces regroup. This time: Wuhan.

Where are you going? Stop!

- Who are you? - I run the school. Ye Peixuan.

We need two trucks to evacuate the children.

I can't provide civilian cars. We're at war.

We need help! The children are orphaned now. The adults are dead.

Wuhan will fall. We have to prepare for the worst.

I'll never abandon the kids.

Without us, they have nothing. We are all they have now.

- They have all lost their parents. - I understand.

- Madam Ye, we're leaving with the kids! - Quickly! To the basement.

Hurry!

Mamma, mamma!

Come on, dear!

Dump the leaflets!

Your country has invaded China. If you continue, we'll drop bombs.

China has thrown leaflets over our beloved homeland.

It's a disgrace!

Find the pilots and chop them into small pieces!

Use our best spies to kill them. The emperor's honor is at stake.

They must be destroyed!

Here you go.

Good morning, Uncle Cui.

What do we have here?

Lucky, tell me what's on the sign.

- "Danger. Bombs" - Good boy.

Man Guan Shu! Just because I lost the place to you, you can't lock me out!

Won't you let him in?

- Please! - I'll check.

Are you okay, Lucky? Did they scare you?

The tea house is ours, even though their name is on the door.

We won it honestly.

- What do you say, my boy? - Yaogu cheated!

Shut up!

Nine Bamboo.

- I win! - You will lose money.

Yaogu Shu. Tell me what secrets you talked about in the tea house earlier.

- Why should I tell you? - Do you have a reason not to?

Our families don't like each other because you always snoop in other people's lives.

My family would like yours if you weren't always so mean!

- What have we done? Bombed you? - That's enough.

- Why do you always quarrel? - Because I'm right! And he's wrong.

- How many pilots do we have left? - 15 left sir.

- How many planes? - Thirteen I-16's. One an I-15.

Two in repaired. We are recruiting as we speak, sir.

We're soldiers, Colonel. Protecting our country in war is our job.

I know how you feel. We have to be rational.

We can't just send these kids up there to get shot down.

I need you two. Both of you.

If we don't take action, the Japanese will continue to bomb Chongqing.

How can we face our people?

We need more planes. And we need to get those kids out there trained.

Nobody flies today.

Sir. Please allow us to go kick some ass!

- How do we hit them? - Target the fuel tanks.

- What are these planes? - The new Zero aircraft.

Behind you!

I can't shake him!

I'm covering you.

Lei Tao!

I'm not gonna make it back for dinner, brother.

Lei Tao!

Now I have you!

I promise to avenge you, brother.

This is the pilot who threw leaflets over Nagasaki.

- What's his name? - He is called "The Hound".

Status?

Our team is tracking him down. They're close. His days are numbered.

There is news about the decoder.

The Chinese have smuggled the British decoder in via Hong Kong.

It must be stopped. It must not reach Chongqing.

Contact the Wild Goose. Say he needs to track down the machine and start Plan A

Monitor it and report home. The enemy must not know that we know about it.

Captain Gang Tou Shu. 22nd Squadron, 4th Battalion, reporting for duty!

Captain Shu. Because your injury prevents you from flying,

we have borrowed you from the Air Force for a special mission.

I'm on duty.

Tomorrow at 8 you will go to the port and take truck 82560 to Chongqing!

Japanese planes patrol the roads and shoot anything that moves.

- Gang Tou! - Lille Cui?

- What in the world is going on? - I have to protect the truck!

There!

Go through it!

That yankee thinks he's tough. Don't take it personally.

So you're the new recruits?

Do you think it's easy to shoot down Zeroes? It's a piece of cake?

- He's worse than the American. - His best friend fell in battle recently.

- Man Guan, not so much pepper. - Okay.

Thanks. I just walked through old town. Many houses have been demolished.

My wife says we rebuild everything the Japanese destroy.

People are constantly dying, and their children are taking their place.

- What are you guys doing? - Do you sell duck feet? How much?

You know what? You can bet on numbers with my Lucky.

If you win, they're free. Otherwise, it's a silver coin.

You should stop playing. It cost you a finger.

So what? I still have another nine.

Just wait. Even an unlucky dog gets a bone in the end.

When you get beaten like a dog, we will listen to your howl!

You feel like winning in mahjong. Not true?

You always have the right hand. Fantastic!

You're jealous. No one beats me.

With one piece, Cuis tea house becomes our tea house.

Your Chongqing mahjong has different rules than what we play up north!

Only then could someone like me lose to someone like you!

Just stop it! Japanese planes are circling over our heads

and you two are arguing about a ridiculous game like mahjong.

People from Chongqing love mahjong! So you probably don't understand.

I have nothing against it. It's the Japanese I don't like.

Exactly. So much the more reason to keep playing mahjong.

He's right. It is a tradition. No one has stopped it before.

Precisely! Do you remember when I moved here from Chengdu?

There was a bad drought. You could see the bottom of the river.

But everyone continued playing mahjong!

She has a point. It may be just a game, but it's our life!

It's time to show everyone what Chongqing is all about!

Agree. Nothing should stop us enjoying mahjong.

Once upon a time there was a flood. The water reached me to my knees.

I just put my feet on the table and kept playing.

You have stopped playing. So you don't count.

- My son plays. - No, he's fighting at the front.

No, he's on a mission. He's returning to Chongqing over land.

Why are you in such a hurry to get back to Chongqing, little Cui?

Dad has found a wife for me. He wants us to get married.

It's probably hard to believe, but I've never been with a woman.

- Not even once. - Loser.

Come on!

Wait.

- You're hiding something. - Why do you say that?

- What's in the truck? - Medicine.

- I know you're lying! What is it? - I've told you.

- Where are you going? - The medical center.

- Why? - I don't know.

So... You think I'm easy to fool.

Gang Tou!

Don't open it!

If you open it, you will be court-martialed!

Do you have no military service?

"Medicine"? You have always been good at lying.

Can't you just believe in people?

I've told you how it's. I'm getting my wife after the delivery.

And I'm going to be playing mahjong to win our tea house back again.

- Our tea house? - Yes.

So you're planning on beating my sister-in-law?

She's a cheater and a show-off. Everyone knows how she won. Didn't I tell you about it?

- Is the truck on its way to Chongqing? - Why?

I've been trying to hitchhike for two days. Just run me over. I'm not moving.

That sounds good!

Okay!

Calm down now.

Can you do me a favor?

If something happens to me, say I was ready. It was not this officer's fault.

But I beg you...

Deliver the two English pigs to Director Liu at the Livestock Research Center.

Tell him that I, Professor Chun...

...did my job.

What is your job?

I teach at the university.

- You got your doctorate in England? - It's insignificant.

But the two piglets are very important.

- Are you an expert in animals? - Not really.

I research selective breeding.

The two pigs from England have a high meat-fat percentage. About 55%.

Right now, human life is more important. Pigs are worthless.

You're good at war. I'm good at pig research.

You take care of your work. I'll take care of mine.

Recon aircraft!

Officer? I'll fix the car if I can go with you.

- Move! - Why don't you let him try?

If we're stuck here, we'll be bombed.

Watch your pig.

The planes are coming!

Faster!

Yes!

Get out of the truck!

Get out!

Two Zeroes, Three o'clock!

Come out. Come and look down there!

- Do you see where we almost ended up? - Officer...

I'm a mechanic and a good driver. This will not happen again.

Attention!

- I'm taking away your flying priviledges. - You have to let me know what I did wrong.

- You really don't know? - I don't know.

- What was your altitude? - 4500 feet. - AOT - 15 degrees.

- How fast were you supposed to be going? - 100.

- And you were going? - 90.

So you do know the difference. And you still want to ask me what you did wrong?

You're crying about your dead brother. Your brother you got killed.

Is it that I'm treating you too harshly, or are you just feeling shitty?

I'm feeling shitty.

- I'm sorry, I didn,t hear you. -I'm feeling shitty!

Good! That's what I want! So get the fuck out of here now!

I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

Hurry up. Come on!

Hurry up!

Wait. Take us with you!

Come on, kids. Wait!

- What now? - There is a cute young girl on the road.

Stop staring. Let's go!

- Where are you going, friends? - Chongqing.

- We can take them with us, can't we? - I'm in charge here.

- I'm paying for their trip. - It's not about money.

- Say why we should take them. - Why?

Because!

- Where are you from? - Does that matter?

Did you join the army just to look tough?

It is a soldier's duty to protect women and children. You have no choice.

You have to take the children with you. It will be on you if anything happens to them!

- Why? - Their fathers are soldiers like you.

Excellent. Very impressive!

See how many people here are. How many have signed up?

Uncle Cui, hey! Do you need to sign up?

Stop! He's not playing anymore. Don't encourage him to start again.

Fun. Signing up is actually the reason I'm here. Got a light?

A match?

So if you win, I'll keep the prize.

For what reason? If I win, I'll give it to the Air Force and our Gang Tou

and make the Japanese wish they had stayed home!

Of course. Cui has ideas. It's just a shame he lives in a dream.

Let me ask you, Man Guan:

Does your brother fly the plane, or does he sit with his feet on the dashboard?

Why does he let the Japanese bomb us incessantly?

Are you crazy? Gang Tsu is an ace! He shot down five Japanese planes the other day.

- Nonsense. - Oh, yeah? I prefer nonsense if I do.

- Did you hear that? - She's a cow!

- How rude! - He hates nonsense.

Now that's enough.

Sit down and play against me.

There's no rush. I'm here to sign up for my son.

When he comes and meets you, the tea house will return to the right owners.

I'm ready.

Where are you from?

I worked at Yumin Bank in Jiangxi.

What do you have in your bag? Money?

I wish! Documents. I have to save them.

- Why? - It's sensitive customer information.

Numbers, bank statements... It has to be kept private.

- Why? - Honor.

Do you think the pigs are worth two silver coins?

I would not sell them for 500! I have bet all my money on them.

I do everything I can for my country and my people.

10,000 soldiers could not save Nanking.

But you want to save all of China with two pigs!

It is something else.

- Fancy clothes. Are you going somewhere special? - We must be well dressed every day.

How smart you look!

Seek shelter over there. Bring the kids!

- Hurry up! - Where?

- Get in the car now! - Where are the pigs?

Just come on, you fascists. I'm right here!

I have it. Pigs!

- Cui! - No.

I can't take it.

Give my dad this.

For the competition.

Let him win for once. As a mahjong master.

The truck is loaded with...

We've reached target. Get ready for bombing.

Give me the hose!

Help them get it out. Faster!

- I'm actually from the Air Force. - I love the Air Force. So dignified.

Nonsense! We go up there to die.

I don't fear the Japs, but their aircraft are more advanced.

It's a bloodbath up there. You have to be fast. Otherwise, they'll shoot you down.

- Thank you, my hero. - I'm not a hero. I will never be.

Everyone in our squadron is dead. Except me.

They were the true heroes. I'm just the loser who survived.

You looked death in the eye and escaped. That is why you are also a hero.

Escaped? I'm terrified of flying.

- Terrified of what? - Of dying.

But so far you have returned.

My body is back. Not my heart.

- Drop the self-pity. - What do you know about that?

You're a simple family man. How dare you say such a thing?

I have no family. My wife forced me to choose between her and the pigs.

I'm Chinese! I can't be passive while my fellow human beings are suffering.

Do you really think pigs can help us?

Yes. They are not like ours.

They get bigger, have better meat and multiply faster.

We can open a pig farm and deliver pork to the soldiers at the front.

When well fed, they can fight better and win the war!

I'm on your side. Cheers to the pigs!

- That's enough! - That's my bottle.

- I need more. - I decide here. Come on!

What a girl!

That should stop you for a while.

Go. Take the kids!

Get the kids away!

- Be careful. - Keep an eye on them.

An unexploded bomb from a Japanese plane.

I can try to disarm it.

- Don't risk it if you're unsure. - Do we have a choice?

The road is too narrow. The truck can't drive around it.

What are you doing?

Yes. Three dragons. Red dragon!

Not a bad trick. You're not Japanese, are you?

You're joking. You don't like me. That's okay. I don't like you either.

- But we have a common interest. - What?

The truck. I need a lift and you can't drive right now.

You know your place.

How stupid can you be?

What's that up there?

Come on. He is here!

It's a Japanese. Kill him!

Stop!

Careful. Minxhun!

He's Chinese. You were close to killing him! I'll take him with me.

Under the table!

Come here. Hurry!

Get up. Come on!

We have to put him down!

Go out now.

Careful. We're going to operate here. Time is short!

- How can we going to operate here? - We have to get the bullet out. Otherwise he'll die.

Take this. Take it!

- Why? - Just take it!

- Hang in there... - Sterilize it.

- What are you doing? - See! It looks deep.

Lie still!

Try this!

- Tell me what to do, and I'll do it. - Open the wound.

Feel the bullet and pull it out.

I've got it.

- We have to sew it up. - How?

Nice work.

Mother is a seamstress. I've been sewing buttons since I was a kid.

- Look, my friend. I got it out. - Thanks.

Are you trying to kill him? You don't know what you are doing!

You better watch it!

You forgot one detail. Hygiene!

You can help me.

- I sewed it up. - Then we can clean it.

Howdy!

There are enough of you to form a squad!

Who's gonna be the leader?

It's still broken.

How you doing?

If I...

Just had a little courage...

I could have saved those kids.

That was a lot of people.

Lucky?

If someone is about to win, then announce their pieces... out loud.

Remember the signals.

Eight bamboos.

Do we practice before the competition?

- You just give me bad luck. - Watch your mouth!

Zheng! It's the boss you're talking to.

Competition is competition, even if it's the boss.

Had Cui been born in the time of the Tang Dynasty, he would have been Duke like Wei Zheng.

Cui is better than him. In a past Dynasty,

Cui would undoubtedly be king. King of the losers!

- No, play it. - Come on.

- This one? - Game.

- Faster. - Game!

- I'm playing it here. - No, Man Guan!

If you put that piece down, then you're done.

Let me!

- Get my pillow! - He's well trained.

Three figures.

- Let the game begin. - She plays circles.

What? You traitor.

Four witnesses saw that I did not say anything!

Through.

- King. - Good hand.

- Five circles. - There!

Five circles, just like I said!

You're just lucky.

Man Guan... Man Guan!

What is it?

Man Guan. The child!

- Why hot water? - So the kids can clean up.

- But why? It's chaos here. - They still have to bathe.

You're right. But it is war and one has to prioritize.

War is for adults. The kids don't have to accept it.

Why not?

Honestly, we're only holding out for their sake.

Minxhun?

I'm leaving.

Minxhun. Minxhun. Don't go, brother.

A pilot shoots down his enemy. If we're going to die, we'll die up there.

Not down here.

I'm sorry.

I know what you did to my brother. Let me finish what you started.

A journalist... from the newspaper. She saved your life.

Quin Xue. Before the war I studied medicine, but now I report on the war.

Come on. We're going to the shower now!

- No! - Why not?

Dad said they never bathed. I don't want to either.

No? What are you going to do about the smell?

Now I have you!

I'm not going to bathe with the girls!

The sun is coming up. We have to cross the river.

There!

We're going to the hospital on the other side.

No need.

So many in our squadron died for our country.

I must return to the battlefield.

- You must be scared. - No.

- I just don't want to have any regrets. - I understand.

Just tell me if you need my help.

Thank you.

I'll go mad if we get stuck again!

Where are you going?

I wanted to check it, because it keeps stopping!

Head back to base.

Unbelievable! Stubborn machine!

I'm sorry.

Sir?

We are short of supplies at the front. There are 400 million of us!

If everyone gave one yuan, we'd raise 400 million for the war against Japan!

Chongqing is the terminus. We have nowhere to retreat to.

Everyone has to fight the Japanese invaders!

We show that we never give up. The Japanese have dropped a thousand tons of bombs on the city.

They do not know that our Chinese hearts never stop beating!

Never, never!

Target reached. Bomb doors open. Drop your payload.

Yaogu! Yaogu, you're here!

Man Guan. Man Guan! What happened to Yaogu?

We were separated. She has my son. Now they are dead!

How can you say that? Your wife Yaogu is a born fighter!

Let's find her!

Make room!

I can't stop the bleeding. We've tried different compresses.

He's hemorrhaging badly. We can't stop the bleeding!

Julia? I thought you got on the boat. Why are you still here?

The boat was hit before it even docked. I came back with the team transporting the wounded.

You're the expert brought here by our government. Since you're still here, we could really need your help.

The boat sails to England twice a month. So you'll have my international assistance for the next two weeks.

Thank's so much. Let's get to work.

Do you want water? Water?

Yaogu! Where on earth are you?

Yaogu!

Yaogu. Yaogu!

- Our child is dead. - What did you say?

- Our child is dead. - Is our son gone?

Our son is gone.

He is gone!

Why our son?

My son... My son...

Let's surprise them. See who I bring with you.

Look here!

Our son!

- Thank you! Where in the world did you find him? - I searched everywhere and heard crying.

He was lying under the corpses. He's tough as nails.

Yes, Yes!

Man Guan! He's tough, no doubt. We can call him Langtou, the Hammer.

Lovely. Invincible!

- Cui? He's named after you. - No flattery. Just wait.

- My son will beat you in the competition. - Yes, yes.

- I'm looking for an Uncle Cui. - That's me.

Gang Tou gave me some things for you. A letter and this.

- Gang Tou? Where is he? - On the north side. The bridges are gone.

- Can she have a cup of tea? - Thanks, but I have to go.

So!

Gang Tou is a good boy. It's sweet of him to think of me.

Can you tell me what it says?

-Uncle! - Is there something wrong?

Your boy is gone.

My wife is gone.

My daughter is gone.

And now my son is gone too.

It's more than I can bear. Damn it.

I curse you all.

I curse you Japanese bastards!

Lucky, I have nothing left to live for.

I'm too sorry to take care of you. Forgive me.

You deserve better.

Fly away.

Find someone who has something to live for.

Lucky?

Lucky? What are you chirping about? You can speak. Talk to us!

Oh no. We'd better see how Cui is.

Uncle Cui!

Uncle Cui, what are you doing here?

- Man Guan. It's more than I can bear. - No, you mustn't give up.

I don't want to live anymore!

Cui, you have family here. You can handle it.

- She's right. - You have to help me!

We have water but no food.

Do you have food for them?

Listen up. The children are hungry. We need the pigs.

We kill the boar and keep the sow for piglets.

Or we take the sow and keep the boar for breeding.

Now?

Say something.

No way.

This is ridiculous.

It's settled!

Stupid fools!

Watch it. Get back, you brats!

- You're crazy! - No you are.

You stay here!

Stay there!

- We have no choice. - Don't kill the pig!

Let the pig be. Don't kill it!

Wait. Get the kids away. Get them away!

- Wait. - Don't worry. Your pig is unharmed.

Put it there.

- Fascist! - Me?

I'm not a fascist. I fought against them.

What you did was the same as when the Japs bombed us. Fascist!

Hello! Hop in.

Stop the truck.

Get in there. Get in!

What are you doing? Put the kids down! Can't you hear me?

Get in there!

- Get in there if you don't want to die! - Hurry up.

- Here. - No thanks!

Come on!

- Here you go. - Thanks.

I taught him everything he knows.

But what's a beautiful girl like you doing with this guy?

Minxhun, my friend. You won't mind if I show you around your girlfriend the base?

Weren't you concerned about us exploiting your first date with this beautiful woman?

We are not a dating.

I order you to escort this young woman around the base. That's an order.

These photos are more vivid than any other I've taken before.

How...

How beautiful.

Here you go. Keep it.

You keep it.

I'm leaving early tomorrow.

- Make sure you survive. - Yes. You too.

You mustn't die!

Take care of my pigs!

Look at this. I can teach you. From here, here and on to the target.

Get everything in line. Then you can't miss. Be careful.

What's happening? Are you crazy? Why are you teaching them guns?

- You're like a volcano. Erupting constantly! - Then don't provoke me.

You're just a bully! Come on.

- What do you think of her? - Flawless. Perfect.

American P-40 Warhawk

Easy...

From the first time I've seen this fighter plane, I've never been afraid to die.

And I'll always find a right reason to fight.

- What do you mean, Sir? - Only you and I, and Minxhun have that experience.

But only one person can pilot the P-40.

How's Quin Xue?

Hello. Your tea is free today.

- Here you go. It's on the house. - No, you're losing a lot of money.

- Many are coming to the mahjong competition. - Yes, to win money.

No! They're scared. Naturally, they are afraid.

We get bombed almost every day. So instead of being alone, we gather.

Then we feel more secure.

- Safety in numbers. - Yaogu, come here!

Yes, I'm coming! Excuse me.

Only one person can fly the P-40. And that is me!

Minxhun. Come back now!

- Are you deaf? - Let it go!

The P-40 is mine! Do you understand?

Get up!

Give me the P-40!

I'm begging you... Let me take revenge.

Take the damn P-40.

But you're not the only one who wants revenge.

The winner of today's competition will donate his winnings to our forces.

It is my pleasure to declare the competition open!

Uncle Cuis's son died for our country. Therefore, Cui has to play in his place!

My friends, I cut my finger off to quit.

Because I'm back, I'll have to cut this one off!

- No, don't. - I must.

It's a blood oath!

Well. Do it.

Just look. It's no sharper than a spoon.

- It was just acting. - One less finger wouldn't hurt.

I've heard enough. Now it's time for a fresh start!

Sit down. There you go.

Make the bridge strong.

Nail it in well!

- How are you? - Go over with the kids. Watch it.

Okay.

Hurry up! Come on.

An air strike! Run.

Get over here!

Get them in the truck. Get all the kids in.

- Slow down. - The brakes are jammed!

- Slow down. - I can't!

- Slow down! - I'm trying.

Careful. You end up killing someone!

We're heading for the wall!

No wonder the car didn't stop. It's my brother's tea house.

- Look. - What the heck?

Gang Tou. Gang Tou is here. My brother has arrived!

- Fantastic. What happened to the truck? - I don't know.

- I'll talk to you later. I gotta go. -Wait! Look at our wonderful son.

- He'll carry on the family name. - He's your nephew.

- My nephew! - Precisely.

- What's his name? - Langtou.

Beautiful!

The truck has crossed the river and reached Chongqing from here.

Get started with Plan B:

The Wild Goose must die and take the Hound and the decoder with it.

No, not again! What is it now?

Six bamboos! Ready for one.

- Oh really? Are there nine characters? - Or eight?

Neither. Give me a bird piece.

Japanese planes again.

SEALED

The children! We have to go. I have to get to them.

Oh god, let's hope we're not too late. Stay close.

- The children... Save them. - I can't leave you here!

I forgot my lighter! Move!

Damn it!

- Yaogu! - Man Guan.

- Don't get crushed! - Man Guan!

Quit pushing!

Let me in!

Burn in hell!

If you try anything, I'll kill you.

What's your cargo? It must be valuable.

I know what you're thinking. Drive over the bridge.

Several Zeroes are approaching. Be careful.

Close formation. Fly high and attack!

Fire when you can.

Bastards!

Shit!

Get everyone out of here. Protect the commander!

Everyone needs to get out of here. Follow me.

- It will be OK! Stay close to me. - Where are you?

- The pigs! - Keep close to me.

Stay close!

Over here. Come here, children!

Come and dig!

Hurry up!

Faster.

The oxygen in the cave is running out.

Can I ask a favor? If you manage to escape...

Make sure... the pigs...

...Get to the central research institute.

I won't go without you!

As long as the children survive... the Japanese will never win.

They're dead.

The shelter collapsed. Many are buried alive.

Get help, then! Come on! Man Guan, what are you doing?

The shelter collapsed. Yaogu and the baby are in there!

They're dead. She is gone. My son is gone.

I might as well die.

Then you have to find their bodies. Be a man and find your wife and son!

Do you hear me? Come on. Come on!

Yaogu...

- Hurry up. There are survivors in there. - Yaogu!

Yaogu?

Yaogu!

Hurry up. Hurry!

Uncle Cui! Thanks...

Yaogu, you need to wake up. Wake up!

Water! Who has water? Thank you.

- You're strong, Langtou. You can handle it. - Drink. What should I do?

- Spit it right in her face! - In her face?

Yaogu...

Yaogu. Get up!

- That's my Yaogu. - Langtou. Langtou is awake!

Langtou is awake.

Take it here. I have things to do. See you later.

Don't walk.

Don't cry.

You're safe. You don't have to cry. Go with the others.

I don't want you to go!

Hello. Can you say what's written here?

I'm not good at reading English. But Ding is smart. Ding?

Can you look at this?

- It was written by someone who... - Don't analyze it. Just read it.

Please send this note to Xinhua Daily, Quin Xue's hands.

- The silver coin is for your trouble. - Silver coin? Its empty.

Since you've probably already taken the money, you should hand in the letter.

- Someone has taken it! - And the "someone" is you.

- Put a silver coin in. - No, then you get the double amount.

- You took the money. Deliver the letter. - Someone else can do it.

It's a matter of honor.

You wanted to see me?

This P-40s... It's yours.

- I don't understand...? - You're a better pilot.

As of today, I am your wingman.

Excuse me. I recognize you.

- Ditto. What brings you here? - I'm looking for a Miss Quin Xue.

That's me.

I didn't take the money that was in this.

To me?

Just a letter.

Marry me! I will love you with all my life,

- Thank you, Uncle Cui! - I think the letter is valuable.

He wants to marry me!

Buy a wedding gift.

After our last attack

is the Chinese Air Force too weak to fight?

We achieved our goals.

No. The enemy fought surprisingly fiercely.

The battle is not over. It's too early to call it a victory.

We must intensify the bombings against Chongqing

and finally crush all resistance!

This is the final stretch.

Japan has her best men forward, and all our best men are gone. But we're still here.

The Japanese are getting their biggest bombers ready. So we, as the reserve team, will fight those sons of bitches!

Most importantly, we're still standing. We have not died.

The world must remember: this is Chongqing sky.

Light up those buring fire in yourself and use all the bullets to puncture the armor!

- Let's welcome a bloody fight to the end! - A bloody fight to the end!

There's cloud cover over Chongqing. We can't spot the target.

Wait for it to clear.

- Charlie, where are you? - Your direction is shown at two o'clock.

A Chinese plane. Get him out!

So I wasn't wrong! Why are you here?

- To finish it. - What?

You have protected the English decoder throughout the journey.

Did you risk being shot by your own planes for it?

The war has only two results: Life or Death.

Taking the decoder or blowing it has different consequences.

- I choose to take it with me. - You...!

When I pull here, the truck will blow up...

... along with the decoder. It will be spectacular.

What's under the truck?

- Get out of here! It's going to blow. - I'm staying here with you.

- Low fuel. Mission in jeopardy. - Drop your payload and return to base.

- It's going to blow. Get lost. - Here. Scissors.

The one on the right. I have a feeling.

Gang Tou. Gang Tou!

What are you doing? You have to wake up!

We've come so far. You can't leave me now. Don't die!

Why did I get you to cut that wire?

You shouldn't have listened to me.

Wake up. Wake up!

Have you not heard...

...That you shouldn't hit a man?

You were right.

It did not explode. That was another bomb.

Marry me.

I probably don't deserve you, but I want to make you happy.

Attack the main bomber!

Back to base!

Just come on. Shoot my Chongqing heart!

You are not going to get away!

Charlie!

- Charlie! - I tried...

- Where are you going? - Don't worry.

Fuel tanks are empty. Requesting emergency landing.

Come on. Come on!

Down. Come on!

Come down!

It was a difficult mission. Chongqing is safer thanks to you.

You should get a medal. I promise.

It should go to the driver who undertook the mission. He deserves it.

Sergeant Cui died for our country on the voyage.

He gave me the mission after he was shot.

- Did he say what it was? - No. Only that I should hand it over.

Well done!

Today is the mahjong finale and Gang Tou Shu's wedding!

Good to see you. Come in!

- I should go out to greet the guests. - Gang Tou! Come here.

Uncle! Your trip.

It was...

Right?

Ding, can I borrow this from you?

- Don't. - Let's have some fun!

Place your foot there.

Well done, Gang Tou. Be a man!

What was that?

They're mocking us.

You finished?

If they want trouble with me, they'll have...

Come on!

Bring it on!

- Calm down! - They'll raise the roof.

- What is it, honey? Look. - Shit...

Don't spoil my wedding night! It's a dud.

It's going to be fun to take it apart after this.

- Three. - Good piece.

How.

South wind.

Come on. It's mahjong, not mind reading.

- Like that. - A nine! I've won.

Nine figures! Do you see? Wow.

This is for you, my son!

Honey, it's falling!

A bomb!

Take cover!

- Let me help. - No! It might detonate.

- Let me. - Careful.

Use the chair.

Careful! Keep steady.

- Stay where you are. - Careful.

- Careful! - Get out of the way!

Get it out. Out!

Don't follow me! You have families. I have none.

Whatever happens, I accept my fate. That's how it should be.

That's how it should be!

Go away!

- Uncle Cui! - Did someone call?

I'm proud to announce that this year's mahjong champion is Uncle Cui!

Thanks to... one piece.

Uncle Cui, now you need the keys back.

- What are you doing? - Wait, Yaogu.

I appreciate your gesture, but we agreed to the rules.

Don't you remember? The money goes to the armed forces.

You can keep the tea house. But I'll keep the piece as a souvenir.

I'll announced it. Don't let me lose face. They're yours.

One thing you need to understand. I just enjoy winning, honestly.

- She gave you the victory! - Not really.

We take each half of the Tea House. But Guan and I run it for you.

- What do you say? - Well?

What was that?

Are you saying that I get half the proceeds as a co-owner?

but you want to do all the work?

It doesn't sound that bad.

Man Guan, you're like my new son.

Yes, yes!

Minxhun, I don't want to leave you, but I'm going to the front.

The photos, which show blood and tears, testify to the tragedy and strength of our people.

Minxhun, you're like a sword in the dark.

Your embrace made me not fear death.

Let the photos be a memory of me and my camera.

Chinese culture will live on.

For the freedom and security of our children and grandchildren.

We must defend our homeland with our lives.
