The Jin-Pu Railway was built in 1908
by Germany and Britain as a joint tender.
It ran from Tianjin in the North
to Nanjing Pukou in the South.
In 1938, the Japanese army took control of the Jin-Pu line.
China's vital link between North and South
became the enemy's
chief conveyor belt for looted resources,
weaponry and ammunition.
Stay alert.
What's going on?
Manchu-Rail Investigation Bureau
Kill The Japanese Invaders
Sir, we arrive at Lincheng in five minutes.
Salute.
Who is it?
Me.
Lin Cheng Station
Hands off the firearms.
We're only 5km from the station.
If a gun goes off we'll be exposed.
Who are you?
Military police.
I'm here on a mission.
Show your ID.
Pay attention!
Step aside!
Turn around.
Bear with me.
Foreman Hong, have you eaten?
I'm really sorry.
Are you hurt?
Hello, Yan.
Good morning.
Hello Sister.
Want some green bean cakes?
Oh, yes!
Anything for a snack!
Share them with your brother.
Let's go, Let's go home.
Let's go.
Tell mom.
“Forge an East Asian New Order.”
Foreman!
Foreman,
German screw nuts don't fit Japanese trains.
Follow this.
Re-tool it to add 1cm space on either end.
I see. I'll do what you say.
Give it a try.
Foreman,
We're done for!
The Japanese said,
all the army rations
were gone.
The cargo's loaders
were all rounded up.
Tell me slowly.
What else have you heard?
They blamed the Porter Corps.
Army rations were stored in a single car.
The other cars were all left alone.
Use this as a model.
Hong-San.
Tell your men
to assemble at the training grounds.
Fellow-workers,
Captain Iwai has ordered
all staff in the factory,
on hearing the broadcast,
to assemble at the training grounds.
Faster.
Akita,
I promise
to take you back to
your hometown in Kagoshima.
I swear I'll catch the culprit.
A moment of silence.
Right turn.
Lowly thieves deserve
nothing less than death.
Time's up.
Captain Iwai said:
Crimes cannot
go unpunished.
An eye for an eye.
A tooth for a tooth.
Time's up.
Charge!
Brother!
Halt! Stand back.
Stand back.
Keep going.
Cowards!
Never seen a dead body?
We carry furs of silver, red and blue foxes.
Foxes are highly sentient.
To catch them with fur unmarred
requires great skill.
How much is it?
It's very reasonable.
Look at the quality.
Excuse me for a minute, sir.
Boss.
Welcome back.
Fujiwara-sensei.
What an honor to see you again.
Mr. Wan.
I almost forgot your new alias.
I first beheld you
at the cadets graduation ceremony.
Three years have passed.
You're as dynamic as ever.
The murdered men were spies
planted by Manchu-Rail in Lincheng.
They had their share of enemies.
Come to think of it…
I have a minion
who lives on Xing'an St, near the station.
That night, he heard sounds of gunfire.
Military Police was on a chase.
He heard someone climb over a wall
and enter someone's backyard.
He heard the house owner ask:
Who is it?
The answer was:
I'm one of the rail corps.
Japanese are hounding me.
Please give me shelter.
Guess what?
Within seconds,
with a creak,
the door opened.
No, sir.
It's all I know.
Good work.
Earned yourself a merit.
You deserve a reward.
You are too gracious.
It's the least I can do.
Keep up the good work.
In a few days' time
this fur shop
will be yours.
I haven't done enough
to deserve it.
How unworthy I am!
Tomorrow at 21:00,
a train from Lianyun Harbor will make an unscheduled stop here.
Without my order,
no one can leave the premises.
Yes, sir.
You asked for me, Station Master?
Hey, Lao Wang.
Go find out
which train arrives at 21:00 tomorrow.
Order it to arrive 20 minutes later.
Yes, Station Master.
Drink less.
Oh no.
It's for you.
Umai (yummy)
Uuu…Mai…
Enjoy!
Grilled chicken.
Greeel chimkin…
Grilled chicken.
Greeel chimkin…
Sugoi! (awesome)
Cheers, Lao Wang.
Dozo (enjoy)
Let's have a drink tonight
A Chinese proverb says:
A good companion deserves a 1000 toasts.
We're drinking buddies forever.
Drink up, Station Master.
Work harder.
Got it.
Work harder. Drink less.
Station Master Tanimoto.
Excuse me, can you take a look at this?
Damn it.
Filthy dog.
What the hell…
Come again?
Come over.
Over here.
I can have you sent down to the coalmine, get it?
Got it. I know
you have more clout than
Station Master Tanimoto.
I take your word for it.
Lighter!
Here.
Lao Wang.
Let's go.
Do your job.
Since we dispatched the spies of Tomishige,
Japanese have been on the rampage.
More people will die if we retaliate.
I can't hold back anymore.
You've got to.
We stood by and watched the bastards
butcher our brothers
like they were livestock.
The station is run by just 20 Japanese.
We can easily wipe them out.
Let's wipe them out,
Hong!
We must have self-discipline.
Don't lose sight of the big picture.
Keep your eyes on the road
Or you'll overturn the cart.
Our brothers in Porter Corps died for us.
They'll be avenged one day.
I heard the shift leader say
those three spies came from Manchuria.
Here comes our political instructor.
Instructor Li,
come over and sit here.
Have a seat please.
Are you all well?
Come sit here, Instructor Li.
What made you brave the blizzard
to come and see us?
When I passed by the bathhouse today,
I heard the Porter Corps were executed.
I've told our comrades to give
part of our winter provisions
to families of the deceased.
I obtained funds from the Apparat.
Please pass the money to them.
We found this at Tomishige Corp, that night.
See if it is useful to us.
Mantie Railway Research Department
This is priceless news.
I'll inform the Apparat right away.
Get it translated.
Today I came here
to relay an urgent mission.
Our men up in the mountain found out that last night,
an enemy military cargo ship
docked at Lianyun Harbor.
The cargo included supplies of
aspirin, penicillin
and bandages.
Our mountain troops need them
for comrades injured on the 20th, in
Chiang Kai-shek's Encirclement Campaign.
Let's find a way to
seize those medical supplies.
Read this.
Could the supplies
be transported by this train?
Arrival: 21:00.
Departure: 21:20.
Must be this train.
But which car is carrying the supplies?
At least we know the time of arrival.
Once the train stops, it allows
20 minutes for loading and unloading.
There's no time to identify the right car.
We just have to try our luck.
Who are you?
Mr. Wan summoned me.
Iwai, you look well.
When did we last meet?
Since I graduated from the Academy,
it's been seven years, Sir.
I'm looking into our secret agents' deaths.
I didn't want to stand out at the station.
I'll arrange security for you.
We'll gather intelligence from here.
I've put Tang in charge here.
I'll do my best.
Tomorrow I'll go to the station.
Yes, sir.
It's getting late.
You're dismissed.
Yes, sir.
What's wrong with you? Asking to die?
Move faster!
Hong.
Station Master?
How are the repairs going?
These discarded spare parts came from
over 130 factories around the world.
To find the right match
takes quite some time.
As you can see
I don't have enough technicians
working for me.
The damaged machinery
must be repaired quickly.
No more delays.
I leave it to you.
Understood. We're doing our best.
See you, Station Master.
Salute.
At ease.
Kill The Japanese Invaders
Your turn next if you let your guard down.
Sir, I will heed your advice.
I walked around town.
Troops are heavily stationed at the exits.
Better to keep a close eye on the railroad.
Yes, sir.
Your office is ready, sir.
I work from here.
The sun rises with a purple glow.
Uncle Wang. Are you on shift?
Little rascal.
Here,
have some chestnuts.
Smells good.
Thank you, uncle.
Say dad.
my kettle's boiling.
Got to go.
You little rascal.
So stubborn.
Alight.
Quickly.
Don't rush, do it with care.
Don't be all thumbs!
Disinfect the wounds properly.
Yes, ma'am.
Bear with it for a bit.
Matron, come over here please.
The train is coming.
It's coming.
Load your guns.
Wait for my signal.
Yesterday, during loading and unloading.
No Chinese left the platform.
I can vouch for it.
The operation only took 20 minutes.
How could they know the cargo's location?
There wasn't enough time.
I appointed the escorts myself.
None of them were Chinese.
The cunning enemy may be
hiding in plain sight.
Go!
Hong,
did you have a good nap?
Feel more relaxed now?
A Japanese came to our station today.
He struts like he's quite high-ranking.
Even Iwai turns all deferential.
I asked around.
Heard he came from Manchuria.
Maybe he's after us?
Let the bastards come for me.
They'll fall under my blade.
C'mon.
Who is it?
Brother, we're from the Rail Corps.
Japanese are hounding us.
Sir, I took care of three households.
Go check the next street up.
Yes, sir.
In China,
a shot across the bows is called
shake the hill to scare the tiger.
The Imperial Army's policy
on reluctant informants,
those who harbor conspirators,
racketeers, or
sympathizers of the resistance
is zero tolerance.
When you give typhoid shots,
don't forget to
shake well before using.
Use this as first aid for patients with serious allergies.
Alright, get ready.
Yes, ma'am.
Hold still
It's done.
Roll up your sleeves.
Cut it out!
Don't cut in line.
Stay still.
Look at this.
Go check inside.
Get up.
It's a work tool.
I made it myself.
Good day, Fujiwara-sensei.
Thank you, Sir.
Thank you.
You have an eye infection.
Take some antibiotics.
Thank you.
“Watch out for the mole.”
Wang-San.
Yes, Station Master.
Get someone to take tomorrow's shift.
I'm taking you to Lianyun Harbor.
It's an important assignment.
Yes.
I'll reshuffle the shifts.
Good job.
Really?
My mother is from Saitama.
Sir.
Please have some.
Lao Wang,
for you.
Thank you so much.
Lian Yun Port Station
We're at your disposal, sir.
This way please.
Our armored patrol vehicle
is powered by gas engine.
Why did you come on board?
At the Station Master's service.
Guess what…
Little rascal.
Sit down and chat with me.
A rare treat!
Call me dad.
Sit down.
Stubborn rascal.
Thank you.
Uncle,
let's halve this.
Son, nice of you
to share.
Uncle.
What a fine penknife.
I want a closer look.
If you call me dad
not only can you look,
the knife is yours.
Really?
Of course.
Dad.
You're humoring me.
You tricked me.
It's not the time yet.
What did your father do?
He was
a coal miner.
Early this year, a gas explosion
buried him alive in the mine.
His body was not found.
What other family do you have?
I grew up without a mother.
My brother still works in the mine.
I sometimes wonder
if the coal I shove everyday
was dug by my dad
or my brother.
They gave their lives for it.
Tomishige Corp
Sir, Iwai reports.
Weapons just arrived from Lianyu Harbor.
I've examined them. Here's the inventory.
When is the train leaving?
Tonight at 22:00.
Tonight at 22:00, Car NO.3.
Staff at Ling Cheng Station of Shandong Province
How long has Lao Wang worked here?
Before I reported for duty here,
he worked for the Germans.
As train dispatcher, he's an old hand.
He's from around here.
Single, with no kin at all.
He even sleeps at the station,
and helps out as an interpreter.
He loves his drink, but can be counted on.
Peanuts
“umai”
Have some.
Yummy.
Hong, my mate!
Brother.
Got a light?
Here, take one.
Guy who just came is a handful.
Brother,
it's freezing outside.
Got to keep your legs warm.
Mate,
lets grab a drink later.
I'm off.
Hong.
What's up?
Lil'anzi.
Brother Hong.
Have you come to see me?
No, I'm visiting relatives,
and passed by here.
Got a light?
Sure.
Pick it up.
Let me have a look.
That's a lot of money.
A windfall?
A family crisis happened.
I had to borrow money.
Lil'anzi,
Are these a traitor's perks?
Watch what you say.
I...
Come here.
Here's all the ammo we got.
Make the most of them.
There'll be high end weapons on the train.
A hard target.
Bring it on!
The enemy deployed armored patrol vehicles
and added patrol points along the railway.
We must move our bases of action.
Qi Lu, Lin Dong, Gao Fei,
get on the train with me.
Ming, Liang: liaise with our mountain base.
Are you ready?
Go!
Yes, sir.
Unload the goods.
Get moving.
Pay attention.
You guys, hurry.
Hurry up.
Go no further.
I have to see a friend.
I want to see him.
Go no further.
Operation Office
Gao Fei.
Xiaolin, retreat!
Retreat now!
Qi Lu!
My brother.
Hong.
I'm here.
Dear brother.
Look out. There are more of them.
Search everywhere.
Yes, sir.
Don't move.
He's dead already
A body is found.
I found one too.
There must be others.
Keep searching.
We found three bodies.
Identity unknown.
This way, sir.
Sir,
we found this on him.
I recognize it.
Salute.
At ease.
Sir, the headcount is done.
These two didn't come to work.
Where does this man live?
The railway shed east of the tracks.
Didn't show up for work today.
Hong, the foreman…
Assembly.
I'll hunt him down myself.
Have you just started work at the station?
You're not a local?
I'm from Hangzhou.
So you came all the way here?
I got transferred from Jinan Hospital.
You are so lucky
it was a penetrating wound
and didn't hurt the ribs.
Thank you.
Sorry I caused you trouble.
Yan,
do me one more favor.
Pass this to Chang Liang of Maintenance.
Tell him to meet me at the old place.
Hong.
Shun.
Watch out.
He's Qi Lu's younger brother Shun.
I'm Chang Liang.
He's my elder brother Ming.
Have some.
Come.
That Fujiwara
has ordered a full-scale search.
Your photos are posted all over the city.
Yan went to the factory to find me
but the Japanese supervisor took notice.
Now there's no going back for her.
Shun, I heard you work at an arsenal in Hubei.
The factory is relocating west.
So he's got his first break in seven years.
He came home just in time
for his brother's funeral.
Hong,
count me in.
I want to join your gang
and kill the Japanese.
If anything happens to you
how can I face your brother in heaven?
This time,
I'm back for good.
No way!
Hello, Mr. Wang.
Good evening.
I've been told
you're the station's old hand.
You must know everyone around here.
Most of them.
But not everyone.
I'm new here.
Still feeling my way around.
If there's anything I don't know
I will
ask for your help.
Feel free to ask
anytime.
I'm gonna walk around.
Take care,
Mr. Wang.
Unless you hit a vital organ,
this gun lacks the fire power
to be a killing machine.
This model
is too lame.
Do you mean
you need scout daggers?
Get me some decent rifles.
I'll show you how to use 'em
to hit more enemy targets.
Trust me.
I was a firearms inspector in Hanyang.
I performed quality check on every weapon.
If nothing else,
I know a thing or two about guns.
Last year, we seized these
when we intercepted a military train.
The long barrows are a bit clumsy,
so we didn't use them.
They're great models.
The American Springfield.
Caliber 7.62mm
with built-in magazine,
high velocity and range.
Each bullet can fly 500m per second.
Why would Japanese use American guns?
Probably for sniping.
If we install a telescopic sight,
we can pick off any target within a 500m radius.
See this device?
It's for measuring distance.
How about
you show us what you've got.
Hong,
find me a quiet spot to try them out.
Fine.
Let's test
their fire power.
It's almost New Year.
The sound of firecrackers is everywhere.
No one can hear us shoot.
Wow, awesome!
Good shot!
Hong,
we can keep this one.
I'll remodel the rest.
Then you all get new weapons.
Great.
You know best.
Instructor Li.
You seem to come with an urgent message.
Last night, we intercepted an encrypted telegram.
Tomorrow, a military train will stop at Lin Cheng.
The news was verified at Lianyun Harbor.
The arms
will be sent to the battle front.
Intercept it?
Blow it up!
The supply includes 100 canons,
firearms and ammunition.
Destination is
Fanchang in Anhui province.
Fanchang county?
Commander Tan Zhenlin
is battling the Japanese there!
If the enemy gets fortifications
it'd be disastrous.
We've been ordered to
sabotage the train at all costs.
Now that I'm here
I'm not going back.
Go see Lao Wang and ask him
For an exact schedule of
the train's arrival and route diversion.
Someone will get touch with him.
Understood.
Let me join you on the mission.
Take me to see Hong.
“I want to join the Chinese Communist Party.”
By sawing off the barrel, the rifling is gone.
We lose some precision and range.
But if we shoot a close target
with these bullets
firepower is maximized.
Today I received a telegram.
An army train diverted
to Anhui will stopover at Lincheng.
We've been ordered to go on high alert.
The arms are bound for our main battlefield.
I'll ride along to stand guard.
Once the mission is completed,
I'll leave on the same train.
Afterward, things will calm down at this station.
Fujiwara-sensei,
we are at your service.
Iwai,
Pick 15 of your best men as freight security.
Equip them with the best weapons.
Tell our troops to prepare for combat.
It's time
for the endgame.
Qi Lu, Gao Fei, Lin Dong
had before their untimely deaths,
formally applied to join the Party.
Their conduct was exemplary.
They sacrificed themselves
for the Party and the people's welfare.
On behalf of the organization,
I posthumously induct
Comrades Qi, Gao and Lin
into the Chinese Communist Party.
The Party Apparat has decided that
Comrades Chang Liang
and Chang Ming,
are allowed to join the Party.
I will officiate your formal induction
Let us begin with the Oath.
Yes, sir.
I pledge
my whole life to the Communist Cause.
The Party's benefit is above all else.
Strictly observe Party discipline.
Overcome any difficulty.
Permanently work for the Party.
Keep the Party's secrets
Never give up.
Attention: Assembly!
As of now,
without Capt. Iwai's orders,
no one is allowed to leave the platform.
Station Master.
Wang-San,
tonight at 18:00,
a special train has been
diverted to the Anhui Line.
Order the other trains
to delay arrival by 30 minutes
Yes, Station Master.
I'll see to it.
Have some.
That's all.
Yes, sir.
Hirokazu Fujiwara
entered Tokko (Special Higher Police) at 18.
He is high up in Manchu-Rail Investigation Bureau.
The three agents you shot
were his right-hand men.
Thanks for saving me.
Our mountain troops need you.
For decades, I've kept this wheel
as a lucky charm.
It's yours now.
Hong.
Stay alive!
We must all survive.
Iwai,
no one but Wang is allowed
to leave the premises today.
Why not?
Leave it
to me.
Uncle.
How come you're here?
Uncle?
It's yours now.
Really?
Sharp as a scalpel.
Won't you miss it?
The time has come.
No one can go out.
I want to buy booze.
Stop!
I need a drink.
Wait.
Dispatcher Wang is one of us.
Wang-San,
remember your shift.
Don't stay out too long.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Station Master,
Lao Wang.
Come over at 6 o'clock tonight.
I have friends over
for drinks.
Save yourself a spot.
6 o'clock.
A bottle of wine.
Tail him.
Yes, mister.
Halt.
Column right. March.
I repeat:
Stand guard over all sections of the train.
Without my command,
no one can exit this car.
Understand?
Yes, sir.
Take a photo of us.
Yes, sir.
Swine!
How dare you!
Get on the train.
Take him with us.
Move.
Depart!
Little rascal.
Call me Dad.
The sun has risen.
Dad!
They stepped up patrols along the tracks
We get on, distract the enemy, retreat.
Keep this in mind.
Meet in the woods on the western slope.
Li,
seize the locomotive with some comrades.
Ming and Liang,
lead an attack from the rear.
I'll plant explosives in the mid-section.
All teams stand by.
Take care.
Action!
I heard you drink like a fish.
True.
It's a good cover up
in front of Japanese.
How else can I kowtow
or chuckle along with them?
Please.
In China,
this is served at Hell's gates.
You first.
For you.
Wang-San.
For years, you've kept up your ruse
without getting caught.
You're quite something.
Tell me your story.
Want to hear a story?
Here you go.
There was once a man named Wang,
whose home was robbed.
The robber said:
Lao Wang, tell me a story.
Wang said:
I'll tell you in hell.
What kind of robber
breaks into a house, and
asks the owner to tell him a story?
How disgraceful!
Imperial Japan
is forging a New Order
for the Asian Co-prosperity Sphere.
We offer you the good life.
How could you
regard us as robbers?
Is invading our country
your New Order?
Can slaughter and pillage
bring Co-prosperity?
Why does a wolf
wear sheep's clothing?
Is that why
you lot use this
against us?
An eye for an eye.
An eye for an eye, huh?
Well,
wait and see
who's the last man standing.
It's a deal.
One of us will drink the infernal wine.
Faster!
Move over.
Move over! Idiot!
Enjoy this send-off
while we kill all your loved ones.
You can rot in hell.
Look out! Stay focused.
Who's here?
Hurry, move!
Damn it!
Stay calm.
Stand by the doors.
Go!
Why are you standing here?
Get the locomotive working.
Yes, sir.
Take cover!
Add more coal!
Hurry up!
More coal! Speed up!
How dare you disobey me!
We've met before.
I've been lying in wait for you.
Can you stand up for a toast?
Hong-San.
Brother,
Blast him to hell!
You can't
hijack my train!
Brother,
that shot
was payback for you.
The sun
has risen.
Go for it!
Charge!
My mates,
lay out the wine.
we're on our way.
