We asked the team to track his whereabouts.
They are close. His life was no longer.
Sir, we received word from dekoder./ What is it?
Chinese smuggling decoder UK via Hong Kong.
We are sure it had reached Pier Yixi outside Wuhan.
It must be taken over at all costs.
It can not reach Chongqing.
Contact Wild Goose.

Coastal development and report back.
The enemy can not know we know it exists.
Yes, sir!

Shoot on anything that moves.
This is very dangerous.
I understand, Pak./ Your mission ...
... is to ensure that the truck arrived in Chongqing safely.
Gangtou?
Cui Junior?

I should have secured this truck. I did not expect to see you.
Go to the other side.
Straight ahead!
Chinese pilots,
We had reached the very crisis in the war against Japan.
I do not expect you to new trainee to fly ...
... and dropped each Zero you see,
But I want you to do this training very seriously.
Good, Sir.
We are here for revenge balaskan family and our colleagues.
Who asked you to speak?
That's not why you're here.
You're here to protect your family,
Your mother, your father, your children,
Of the bombs dropped by the Japanese.
It is your duty.
What do you know about these airplanes?
I know I can offer no resistance.
I know that once you reach the combat zone,
Time of your life will be short.
Five days, if lucky.
I do not want to attend another funeral or burial.
Rest in place.
The American people think he's tough. Do not assume it's personal.
So you practice the new targets?
You think it's easy to shoot Zero?
You think it's easy ?!
He's worse than Americans.
Come on.
Wait a minute.
You're hiding sesuatu./ Why do you say that?
What's in this truck? / Medicine.
I know you're lying. What is it?
I told padamu./ You think I'm naive, huh?
Gangtou? Gangtou!
Gangtou, do not open it!
They will sidangkan you militarily.
Where is the honor of your soldiers?
Drugs, huh?
Why can not you just once believe that people say to you?
I've told you the problem.
I get my wife after I send.
Then I followed the mahjong contest.
I will win back all of our tea shop.
So you're planning to beat brother-in-law?
He was a corrupt and arrogant.
Everyone knows how he wins.
Did I ever tell you how he did it?
What these trucks headed Chongqing?
I'm trying to find a ride for two days.
You could have over me if you want. But I will not go.
I like it sounds.
All right!
No problem. Calm down.
Officer, could you please help me?
Mail both these British pig ...
... to the Director Liu at National Livestock Research Center.
My name is Professor Chun.
I've done my duty.
What do you do?
So you're the expert cattle? / Not really.
Research I did focus on certain breeding.
I brought two piglets from England.
They had the meat and fat ratio of about 55% or more.
If the experiment goes according to plan ...
But this time, the safety of human life is more important.
Pig no harganya./ You just take care of the war,
I'll take care of the pig study.
Officers, I'll fix your truck in exchange for a ride in return.
Go on!
Why do not you let him try?
We can not stop here. We're obviously going to hit.

Nice!
Out of the truck!
Get out!
Exit. Come here.
Look down there. See you almost fill us where?
Officers ...

How ketinggianmu? / 4,500.
AOT? / 15 degrees.
How quickly are you supposed to be on track? / 100.
And you drove? / 90.
So you know the difference.
You still want to ask me what your mistake?
You're crying about your brother died?
Did you kill your brother?
Is it because I treated you too hard,
Or do you just feel angry?
I felt angry.
Sorry, I can not hear you.
I was furious! / Good!
That's what I want! Now get out of here!
I am sorry.
I am wrong.
Fast. Come on, come on.
Come here. Fast.
Hey! Wait, do not go!
Come on, kids.
What happened?
There is a beautiful young lady walking.
Stop acting stupid. Keep moving.
Where are you going, my friends? / Chongqing.
We could take them with us, is not it?
I make the decisions here.
I will pay the cost of mereka./ It's not about the money, Professor.
Shut up. You have no voice here.
Give me one good reason not to take them.
Why should I do that? / Because.
Did you join the military in order to look tough, Officer?
Protecting women and children is a duty soldiers.
You have to take these children with you.
Why?
Because of their fathers warrior like you!
A good coupling.
Impressive. Look at these people.
How many have signed up?
Paman Cui. Hai.
Did you sign up, Cui?
Seriously. Berjudinya days had passed.
We do not encourage him to start playing again.
I'm here to enroll my son.
When he came in and compete with you,
The tea shop is likely to be returned to their rightful owners.
I'll be ready for him.
Where do you come from?
I worked at Union Bank in Jiangxi, then the Japanese came.
What's in the bag?
What is money? / If only. Not. Document.
I have to keep it here.
For what?
Customer sensitive information.
Numbers, statement. Things like that.
Should keep privacy.
Why?
Honor.
Refuge on the other side! Bring the kids!
Pergilah./ Where?
Climbed into the truck, now! / No, pig-babiku.
Pig-babiku!
To.
Onward, fascist basis!
I am here! Fascist clown! Come on!
Could! I get babimu.
Cui! / No!
Cui!
Cui. Cui.
I can not go home.
Give this to my father for mahjong contest.
Let him win this time as a champion of Mahjong.
The truck carrying ...
It's on target. Get ready to bomb.
Wait! Wait.
Possible.
Come on, give me the hose. I could.
No, be careful.
The fire will not be extinguished.
OK. Anyone please help me put out the flames. Hurry up.
I'm actually not together with the Army.
I was with the Air Force.
I love the air force. So honored.
Nonsense.
We go up there to die. I'm not afraid of the Japanese,
But they are much more sophisticated aircraft.
That bloodshed over there.
Trying to get there first, or they will shoot you down.
Thank you, Hero.
I'm not a hero. Not while I'm alive.
In the last few battles, all our squadron were killed.
Except me.
They are the real heroes.
I'm a loser who survived.
Go. Take the kids.
Away, take the children. Stay away from here.
Stay away. It was a bomb on the Japanese planes.
Did not explode.
I could try to tame it.
Please do not take the risk if you're not sure.
What else can we do?
The road was narrow. The truck would not fit.
You should not take the risk if you're not sure.
What are you doing?
Why are you here?
We asked for permission to join the fight, sir.
Impossible.
Japanese planes have humiliated us.
How can you sit here and play mahjong?
Mahjong is not children's toys.
This is like a war.
It can help with the mindset kritismu, especially you.
Pak, townspeople and even the whole country ...
... call us useless loser.
We've had enough.
Please give us permission to fight.
Brave people actually do not show courage ...
... to hasten his death in vain.
If he should die, he must die as a martyr.
But the AU you have not been trained or well armed.
Even so, it is better than sitting here playing mahjong.
Nice! Three great dragon, red dragon.
That was a good trick. If you were Japanese,
You're going to tell me, right?
You're funny. You do not like me, but it did not matter.
I do not like you. But we have the same interests.
What is it? / Mobil truck.
I need a ride, and you can not drive now.
At least you know your position.
Damn!
Where the fuck is flying the plane?
It was very bad!
Hei!
Shoot the bastard's head right through me and then come back here!
Understandably.
You could be how stupid ?!
An Minxun, quickly returned to base.
Why?
There are several planes coming at you.
We were ambushed.
We shot! Damn!
Hey! What's up there?
Come, follow me, he's over here.
Give me jalan./ Hey! He was Japanese!
It's Japanese! / He is Japanese! Kill him!
Stop!
He's one of us.
Stop the truck!
Move!
Minxun.
He is Chinese. You almost killed him!
Release him. I'll take him.
Hurry, children. Under the table.
Come on! Quick, run!
Get up. Come on.
We have to lay him. Fast.
Exit. Now, pergilah./ Come on, kids. Stay together.
All right. Slowly.
We had to operate here.
We do not have much time.
How can we do the operation here?
If we did not remove the bullet, she would die.
Remain strong. Here, take this. Take it.
But for what? / Take it!
Sterilize kuat./ fixed it.
What are you doing? / It seems that in.
Do not move.
Try this.
Tell should be okay and I would do it.
Open wound. Come on.
Feel the vicinity of the bullet, and then remove it.
Meet.
We have to give him stitches.
But how?
Good work, Mei./ mother seamstress.
I've been sewing on buttons since childhood.
Look, man. I remove the bullet.
thanks.
Are you trying to kill him? You do not know what you're doing.
Hey, be careful. You're talking to?
You forget the details, such as cleanliness.
You can help me.
Let's clean it.
Hey. Hello, children.
Ya.
You pretty much to form a squad.
Who here wants to be the leader of the squad?
Still does not light.
Minxun?
I go.

If we must die, then we die up there,
Not down here.
Forgive me.
Do not worry. I know what you did to my brother.
Let me finish what you two start.
Journalists from the newspaper.
He saved your life.
Susan. Before the war, I studied medicine.
But now I'm a journalist.
I want to know what really happened in Chongqing.
The sun was up. Time to cross the river.
Are you still not safe.
We're going to the hospital when we get to the other side.
No need.
So many of our squadron ...
They died for our country.
I have to go back to the battlefield.
You must be terrified.
I am not afraid.
I just do not want any regrets.
I understand how you feel.
Tell me if you need my help.
Forgive me.
Then?
There is a shortage of supply in the front row!
We have 4 million people!
If we all contribute ¥ 1, we can collect ¥ 4 million!
We could use that money to buy the best ...
... and weaponry to fight the Japanese people!
Chongqing is the last place we are.
There is no other place to retreat.
We all have to stand up and fight the Japanese attack ...
... and show everybody if we never give up!
Japan has dropped thousands of tons of bombs on the city.
They do not know the hearts of China's'll never stop!
Never! Never! Never! Never!
We arrived at the target. Opening doors bomb deposit.
Lower charge!
Make way. Move aside. Let us pass.
Hurry, hurry.
Help me, help me.
I could not stop the bleeding. We tried different compress.
Severe bleeding.
He stopped breathing. Hurry up, please.

May God be with you.
Take care of yourself, Steve.
Excuse me, I'm looking for my uncle Cui.
Yes. That is me.

Align dot and you will not miss.
But be careful ...

Why do you teach them about the weapons?
You're worse than gunpowder. Always explode.
If that's the case, you should not menyinggungku.
You're just a great oppressor!
Come on.
What do you think about him?
Charming. Perfect.
Watch Out.
From the first time I see this fighter,
I've never been afraid to die.
I always find a reason to fight.
What do you mean, sir?
You and An Minxun have that experience.
But only one person can be a P-40 pilot.
There is only one person who could fly a P-40.
That is me!
Hi! Minxun!
Get back here now!
Are you deaf?

The deadly attack squadron of Air and Marine us ...
... has made Air China is too fragile to resist.
We have achieved our goal.
Not.
The enemy fought with surprising tenacity.

It's too early to call this a victory.
We must continuously bombard Chongqing,
With the massive power ...

I chose to take her with me.
Damn ...
After this I pulled the safety ring,
The truck will explode into the sky.
As well as the decoder therein.
That would be amazing.
What lies beneath the truck?
The truck should be kept away from the entire barrel of gasoline there.
Get out of here. It could explode.
I remain with you!
Fuel is running low. The mission at risk. Be prepared
Drop charge and returned to base.

Minxun,
I do not want to leave you, but I have to go to the front row.
These pictures are filled with blood and tears,
A witness to the tragedy and the strength of our people.
You're like a sword in the darkness, Minxun dear.
Eratmu embrace made me lose the fear of death.
The photos were for you.
I hope it will remind you to me and my camera.
Chinese culture will survive.
For the sake of the freedom and security of our children ...
... as well as their children,
We must defend this sacred land with our lives.
