The Naval Commandos (Hai jun tu ji dui) (海軍突擊隊)

This way!

Gentlemen, I'm only an observer

I came for the fun

The spectator is the better judge, sir!

I'd like your comment

Vice-Admiral

It's windy at sea!

I'm fine, my sea legs are still intact!

You're a veteran naval officer

No one knows the sea better than an old captain!

Captain, your drill was a success

Your command is outstanding!

It reminds me of many things!

I'd appreciate your advice

If during the war

our navy had this capability

history should be re-written

It also reminds me of someone

You know who that is?

My father?

Yes! You read my mind!

If your father were alive

and witnessed your command

he would have been proud!

Tell me more about him!

I've never seen him, just his pictures!

Everyone knows him by reputation

But few have met him!

I was only 20 when I served with him!

He was a lieutenant

In Shanghai

At Jiangyin

The Japanese had occupied Shanghai

We were on a special mission

He was the captain of torpedo boat 102

Gentlemen, as you can see...

The Japanese fleet consisted of 11 boats

Their flagship is the lzuma

We have only 3 boats

We're over powered 10 to 1 by tonnage!

That's not a problem!

According to our plan

We must maintain combat capability

and avoid engaging them directly!

We have planted a mine zone along Yangtze River

stretching from north to south

as a blockade

to stop Japanese ships

This is a crucial to the war!

Chief

If the Japanese fleet breaks through the blockade

do we engage them?

Captain Hang, it is quite obvious

that'll only cause unnecessary casualties

This plan doesn't work!

Feel free to comment!

We're outnumbered in ships

But we're determined to fight

We need a strategy

The principle of combat is to attack, not evade

What's your name?

Hu Jing Duan, captain of torpedo boat 102

Captain Hang, go take a wok!

Yes, sir!

I agree with you

But you must have an actual plan

And not just principles

Chief, I'll get back to you!

He's worried about his boat!

Standby!

Yes!

Standby!

Get ready!

Yes, sir!

Standby!

We support Captain Hu's position

to take the initiative to attack

using torpedo boats!

Move into Shanghai and take them by surprise!

You proposed

we reach the bund

We'll be stopped by the Japanese fleet

We'll attack at night

Disguise the boat and target for the lzuma

If we sink their flagship

it'll be a heavy blow to their morale!

We can also demonstrate

the capability of the Chinese Navy

What are our chances?

Close to zero!

Why? Please state your reasons!

In order to get to the Japanese fleet

we must go through the mine zone

They are 200-pound trap mines

All 74 of them

We have left a pathway

that'll allow a torpedo boat to pass

Unlike submarines

torpedo boats will be discovered during the day!

At night we can't see the pathway!

You' ll be trapped!

I admire your courage

but you don't have a fighting chance

This is suicidal!

Sir, if we don't take chances

we'll never succeed!

Sir, 6 enemy planes were spotted

They hovered around

and left without launching an attack!

Return to base

We'll wait for approval!

Captain, what are we doing?

Go fishing!

Off the bund in Shanghai?

Sir

We have approval to leave tonight!

Yes!

Our fishing plan

has been approved!

The lzuma is our big fish!

We're attacking the lzuma?

Just the few of us?

We need another boat to standby

What's so funny?

Get to work!

We have to finish this before dark!

Yes, sir!

I'll contact the mine unit

We need a guide!

Captain!

How strong is lzuma's hull?

No matter! We'll bust it with torpedoes!

You think we'll come back alive?

Who wants out? Tell me now!

Where else do we find another chance

to sink the lzuma?

This will be fun!

Not only will we scare off the Japanese

it'll also shake the world!

Good thing we're all bachelors!

We have no worries!

Captain, did you just get married?

Shut up!

Meet the team, captain

This is the crew!

Sure!

Shao Kang Fa, She Gan, Jiang Ping Guang and Xu Xiang Lin

They're sergeants on my boat

This is Major Li of the mine unit

Daytime is no problem

At night, even I'm not so sure!

Don't worry!

We'll clear the mines before nightfall

and proceed in the dark

You're coming with us!

There's no boat to take you back!

I have nothing to fear!

Follow us with your boat!

Stay behind by 100 yards!

Stay on our tail and keep in touch!

Yes!

Yes!

Reduce speed!

Reduce speed!

Don't worry! We have faith in you!

There are mines below us

I can't see anything!

You may not see them

but one wrong move...

and we'll go sky-high!

Up ahead is the Japanese fleet!

The rest is up to you!

That was a close call!

Japanese gunboat!

103, a Japanese gunboat!

Stay where you are!

We're fishermen bringing in a catch!

Fire!

Damn! They fired without question!

You handle this.

Captain, do we return fire?

No! Our effort will go to waste

and spoil the plan!

Major...

Abandon ship! We'll swim ashore

and think of something else! Jump!

Where's the captain?

I don't know!

He's behind!

I'm so ashamed!

I didn't go down with the boat!

We were discovered by accident

It's not your fault!

This is so discouraging!

We haven't even seen the lzuma!

We can't go back like this!

We can still finish the job

Yes!

Give us a lift!

Where are you going?
