Episode 1 -

During World War II, in the sky above the battle zone between India and Burma,

four huge Hanley Page Halifax bombers flew through the clouds.

They were on a special mission.

Their bombing target wasn't in the central area of conflict,

but a peaceful rainforest.

Even the pilot didn't know the reason for this mission.

In this area known as Kachin Hills,

just what kind of secret does it hold? - Now!

Copy that. - Copy that.

At the same time, the Chinese Expeditionary Force Command

received a mission also related to Kachin Hills.

Hello? Is this Song Xi Lian?

Commissar, it's me.

We lost contact with an American team in Kachin Hills.

Immediately dispatch the elite squad of Division 36 for search and rescue.

Yes, Sir. I will immediately send someone to Division 36.

Wait, the Americans intercepted a set of encrypted codes that might have something to do with the mission.

Inform the squad members of the mission about this set of encryption codes separately.

This is top-secret. Not one person must possess the entire set of codes.

Yes, Sir!

Captain, the guys at Division 36 are fighting well against the Japanese.

Why are we going?

We're forming an elite squad.

A squad? What for?

To complete a special and important mission.

What mission?

Do you want to join?

As long as you're the squad leader,

I'll follow you anywhere.

Remember you said that. It'll be regarded as your Soldier's Consent.

Can you tell me about the mission now?

Kachin Hills.

Kachin Hills?

Turn right after 70 meters. We don't have much time.

We'll take the shortcut.

Yes.

Captain.

Captain.

The gun isn't ready yet.

You're at the wrong place.

The division headquarters is 2 kilometers farther north.

How do you know where we're going?

By looking at his gun,

Thompson M1A1 Submachine Gun.

You recognize this gun?

M1928, A1 upgraded model.

The difference between the two is the bolt handle.

One is on the top, and the other on the right side.

These guns are only found in American training camps.

Therefore, you two must be at the wrong place. You should leave.

He knows a lot.

This gun has been a little troublesome for me recently.

Take a look for me.

To be honest, I don't really like this gun.

Although the shooting speed is fast,

it can shoot 100 bullets within a minute;

but its accuracy, past 50 meters, depends purely on luck.

Everyone has their own preference.

What type of gun do you like?

M1 Carbine. It's 100% accurate.

Past 50 meters, it's much better than yours.

Try it.

You're pretty talented.

I just play around. - Come with us.

Who are you?

You don't need to know.

Why should I follow you guys?

To form a squad.

And then?

To complete a special mission.

And then? - Just listen to me.

No.

Why?

I'm getting married today.

And... a woman as a leader? No.

Let's go.

We'll meet again soon... Zhao Ban Kuo.

Fortunately, we found him before he got married.

Where are we going? - Division Headquarters. - Okay.

Knife, wait here for me.

Captain.

Can't you smile a little?

Why?

We're here to borrow people, not to take people.

[The Situation Report of the Central Military Commission for the Activities on Kachin Hills]

It's obvious that you're here to take people.

Even though I believe your diction is somewhat inaccurate,

if stating it this way helps you accept it more,

I won't mind.

What if I don't accept it?

It's a military command that must be obeyed.

I know how much you love your men, and appreciate true talent.

Even if this transfer order is issued by the military,

the one who really signed it is Commissar.

I would like it if you understood the importance of this mission.

Therefore, we must use soldiers with real skills

to ensure the success of this mission.

What mission?

You know what I know.

I can't tell you what I don't know.

Give me the list.

You really know how to pick them.

What you ask for are my best soldiers.

But Zhao Ban Kuo...

this person is not fit for this mission.

Why?

He hasn't been on the battlefield in four years.

And don't you want the most skilled men?

I saw his ability with my own eyes.

I believe in my selection and ability to judge.

Yes, he might have a special skill,

but he could ruin things at the most critical moment.

You must be referring to his history as a deserter.

So you already know.

I understand everyone very well.

Yes. With your ability,

you probably already reviewed thoroughly

every piece of information in my division.

This mission is different from past missions of direct battles.

We don't look at the past, just skill.

I believe that for each person joining my squad,

whether he is afraid of death or not,

it is not up to him.

No.

Although, as the Squad Leader, you have the right to choose the soldiers,

Zhao Ban Kuo is a soldier from my Division 36.

I cannot allow his personal mistake

to bring shame to the entire Division 36.

Do you actually believe he will be a deserter again?

I believe anyone who deserted once won't do it again,

because they felt the shame and humiliation before.

They should know, even better, how to become a strong soldier.

We don't have much time.

Please send these seven people to the airport within 3 hours.

The plane will depart at noon as scheduled.

Wait.

Can you give something to Zhao Ban Kuo for me?

Can you also relay a message as well?

Can I see?

That's a lot!

Are these actually real?

Of course.

How much do you think he paid?

Is this something to be valued with money?

No, I meant, how much did you pay for these?

Just kidding. It's just a joke.

Honor supersedes all else. Do you understand that?

Can that give you food or water?

You're a man?

If you didn't talk, I'd think you were a woman.

Isn't everyone like this when they just come out of prison?

No wonder I don't see any hint of a soldier.

Why does our high-class squad accept members without regards to their qualifications?

It's not based on the rank, but the skill and ability.

Hey, Brother, which unit did you come from?

The color of your hair looks interesting.

Malnutrition.

Nonsense! This is all natural.

The father of my father is Chinese.

The father of my mother is a Soviet.

I am a product of an international collaboration.

Old fool, stop running your mouth like that;

or else, I'll settle the past grudges with you right here. - All of you, be quiet.

Such a loose and noisy bunch. What happened to your protocol and discipline?

Didn't they say it's urgent and we are to depart at noon?

We're missing one person. The Leader went to get him.

Missing one?

Someone important?

Stop!

Zhao Ban Kuo. Division Commander is asking for you.

What if I'm not going? - Not going?

It's not your decision.

Do I need to trouble so many people to invite me?

Aren't you just wishing that I was separated from Zhuo Yan?

Stop talking useless things. Go on.

Fine.

Get him!

Don't shoot. I want him alive. - Yes.

Stop! - Stop!

Stop! - Stop!

Zhao Ban Kuo!

How many? - I'm looking for someone.

Wait, Sir!

Hurry!

Search!

Hurry!

Please take your time and enjoy your meal.

Officer... This?

Have you seen a man in a black tuxedo? - Yeah.

After him!

Report! - Come in.

The newest updates are here. - Read.

"Our men split into two

and took over Gudong and Jiangju successfully as planned.

The troops from Gudong have reached the riverbank opposite of Qiaotou."

Good.

Just like what we expected.
