You and your men will have to take greater risks now. 872 01:26:33,488 --> 01:26:37,243 I think they know it, sir. This hits them where they live. 873 01:26:37,311 --> 01:26:41,583 I don't think any of them will let you down. I'm sure they won't. 874 01:26:41,650 --> 01:26:44,252 Come here. 875 01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:48,775 Intelligence reports that the japanese are starting a new drive from this point. 876 01:26:48,843 --> 01:26:52,664 But to camouflage that move, they're starting a fake attack from this point. 877 01:26:52,732 --> 01:26:56,286 Under cover of which, they intend to bring up supplies and munitions from here. 878 01:26:56,354 --> 01:27:00,458 We must destroy this bridge and delay the supply trains which pass over it. 879 01:27:00,526 --> 01:27:03,446 I see. That's the only way we can give general chiang kai-shek... 880 01:27:03,513 --> 01:27:05,950 Sufficient time to establish his defenses. 881 01:27:06,017 --> 01:27:10,956 I know that area. It's a nest of antiaircraft and nakajima squadrons. 882 01:27:11,024 --> 01:27:14,111 Thank you. They can send up an anac umbrella... 883 01:27:14,179 --> 01:27:16,613 High enough to make any attack ineffective. 884 01:27:16,682 --> 01:27:18,634 I warned you what we'd be up against. 885 01:27:18,702 --> 01:27:22,656 But there's a way to do it, I think. Yeah? 886 01:27:22,708 --> 01:27:27,162 A bomber squadron, even with our protection, wouldn't stand a chance. 887 01:27:27,230 --> 01:27:29,633 But a single ship might get through. How? 888 01:27:29,701 --> 01:27:33,154 By flying through the canyons instead of over them. 889 01:27:33,222 --> 01:27:37,176 Taking off at dawn and hugging the sides of the hills away from the sun, 890 01:27:37,244 --> 01:27:41,232 A pilot might bring his ship through the pass and directly over the bridge. 891 01:27:41,299 --> 01:27:45,671 Sounds like hedgehopping to suicide. Maybe. 892 01:27:45,739 --> 01:27:49,494 But if you think it can be done, I'll order a bomber here right away. 893 01:27:49,562 --> 01:27:52,364 I think we can use that transport. What? 894 01:27:52,432 --> 01:27:55,518 They've been flying over enemy territory for five years. 895 01:27:55,586 --> 01:28:00,525 They get potted at, of course, but they don't attract as much attention as a military ship. 896 01:28:00,593 --> 01:28:03,363 What about bombs? It's got no bomb rack, no bomb release, nothing. 897 01:28:03,431 --> 01:28:05,532 We can figure that out. 898 01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:10,373 There's eight or nine cans in our munition dump marked, "nitro u.S.A." 899 01:28:10,440 --> 01:28:14,528 I think I can find a messenger boy to deliver them. 900 01:28:14,596 --> 01:28:17,733 A job for a volunteer, of course. 901 01:28:17,785 --> 01:28:19,803 Of course. 902 01:28:57,355 --> 01:29:00,293 Doggone it.

You heard me. What's happening? 906 01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:16,781 That's the skipper's idea. 907 01:29:16,849 --> 01:29:18,969 He's gonna go fix breakfast for the jappies. 908 01:29:19,036 --> 01:29:21,138 Gonna serve them soup. 909 01:29:21,206 --> 01:29:24,459 Who's going with him? Nobody. 910 01:29:24,527 --> 01:29:27,196 If you ask me, it's a one-way trip. 911 01:29:34,207 --> 01:29:37,677 These reports must go out daily to keep colonel lindsay informed on our status. 912 01:29:37,745 --> 01:29:39,847 Yes, sir.
