June 25, 1950.

Following the North Korean People's Army surprise southward invasion,

the Korean peninsula plunges into war.

The outnumbered ROK Armed Forces give up Seoul after three days of fighting...

and retreat farther south, but despite the UN troops' intervention,

they set up their last line of defense along the Nakdong River.

However, ROK and UN forces launch a counteroffensive...

following the Battle of Incheon's success, reclaiming Seoul by September 28, 1950.

After pushing the battlefront all the way to the 38th parallel,

the UN forces seek out a political compromise with Soviet Russia and China,

but the ROK Army strongly opposes it.

By October 1st, ROK forces reach the 38th parallel alone,

and start marching north with unification in mind.

In remembrance of this day,

October 1st is commemorated as ROK Armed Forces Day.

~ October 1st, 1950 ~

~ 99th Day of Hostilities ~

~ ROK Army Crosses 38th Parallel ~

Command, command.

We're being pushed back by the enemy forces,

they completely outnumber us.

Wonsan has fallen to the enemy.

After crossing the 38th parallel, the enemy forces are marching forward,

and it's only a matter of time before our troops are pushed back to Pyeongyang.

17th and 32nd Division, prepare for deployment.

This is the republic's capital!

You must defend it with your lives!

- Is that clear? - Aye, Sir!

Comrade Sugyeong.

Are you all right?

Comrade, get up.

Comrade Sugyeong.

Find refuge... Find refuge!

Comrade...

Comrade Sugyeong!

Get a hold of yourself!

Comrade!

Comrade Sugyeong!

~ October 19, 1950 - Pyeongyang ~

Hey!

- Beomwoo. - Yes.

What are you doing? Hurry up!

Magpie nest, magpie nest!

Eagle Regiment here.

Enemy forces are holding steady.

How many men are you facing?

Our casualties?

Really?

We're suffering significant casualties under enemy fire.

Even if the casualties increase, tell them to march forward.

Yes, Sir.

Eagle Regiment. Eagle Regiment!

The third battalion is being held up by enemy fire.

Send reinforcements from the regiment.

Yes, Sir.

Eagle. Eagle!

What are you waiting for? Get moving!

Turn around.

Don't!

You dirty puppets...

Seongil!

Look at me! Get a hold of yourself!

Open those eyes and look at me.

Me... Look at me... Just me.

Good, good boy. It's all right.

Everything's fine. Here...

Let's go.

We're going.

Come on. Go!

Let's go, uh?

Retreat!

Everyone retreat!

Hurry up and get moving. Everyone, retreat!

Magpie nest.

We captured Pyeongyang, enemy forces are retreating!

What? You captured it?

Pyeongyang was just captured!

Is that so?

That's it!

It's done!

Good job, everyone, good job!

Be careful.

Comrade Sugyeong!

Comrade... Comrade Sugyeong!

Let's go!

Hurry up.

~ October 26, 1950 - Amnok/Yalu River ~

I won!

Let's do it one more time.

I won! I won this time!

I won!

Oh?!

What?

~ Episode 1 ~

~ Pungsan (South Hamgyeong Prov.) ~ Gaema Plateau

Ten-minute break!

Wonder for how long these excursions will go on.

I haven't fired a bullet in over a month.

Looks like the war is as good as over now.

Tell me about it. Will be over in no time.

I'll just have to stick our flag on top of Mount Baekdu,

and go back to my hometown.

So the war is really over?

It's still far from it.

- Don't let your guard down. - What that means is...

The US troops will go home for Christmas or whatever they call it,

but don't you even dream about that.

Look what we have here!

How long has it been since we've had biscuits?

Ehh... So Private Jung seems disappointed the war's ending?!

My... How depressing.

You just wait.

The moment the war's over,

he's going to write NKPA on his wall,

and fire until he's out of ammo!

The hell are you doing?

Who are you pointing your rifle at?

Enough with the nonsense!

Sorry about that...

Ehh... Throwing temper tantrums every chance he gets.

But what's with 3rd Platoon?

They went out yesterday in the early morning for recon,

and friendly fire killed a few.

My... That's bad.

Bet Sergeant Park is going to give them hell for it.

Let's get going.

Marching forward!

My... I needed to take a leak.

We're moving.

Let's go.

Quick.

Hurry up.

Loyalty.

I told you to get here by four, didn't I?

Why is 2nd Platoon always behind?

I apologize, Sir.

Always getting the short end of the stick, uh?

Do at least half as well as Sergeant Lee for once, will you?

Dismiss!

Loyalty.

2nd Platoon.

We will spend the day here.

You can easily find lodgings, so don't bother the villagers.

The houses you see over there are occupied by women,

so don't even step foot inside there.

Is that clear?

Yes, Sir.

Hey.

Sergeant Kim.

Yes?!

Is that how you stand up when your platoon commander is speaking?

Uh? I...

Sorry about that...

Forget it.

Here. Move to your quarters.

Platoon! Loyalty.

Dismiss.

Ahh... Really... Damned Commander...

Always bitching about the silliest of things.

He's driving me crazy!

Thank God he's only a platoon commander,

what if he was a division general?

We wouldn't even be allowed to blink.

Then, what, would he force us to stand like this?

Like this?

This way?

Why hit the noggin?

Hurrah for the People's Army!

Hurrah for the People's Army.

Hurrah for General Kim Ilsung!

Hurrah for the Democratic People's Republic!

Hurrah for the People's Army!

Hurrah for the People's Army!

Hurrah for General Kim Ilsung!

And what is this?

Hurrah for the People's Army!

What if you didn't recognize NKPA troops from ours?

Then again...

It's not like you'll see NKPA troops here again.

Anyway, whenever troops show up,

all you need to do is wave this.

Is that clear?

So the People's Army is not going to come here anymore?

Ahh... Really, did you listen to me?

They're already done and dealt with.

- Do you live alone? - Yes.

Any sons?

They all died.

One was killed in labor camps,

and the other the student corps, so...
