Here, Du Wei rushed home and told her father that she had settled Leonardo. As soon as her father breathed a sigh of relief, the Japanese army came over with puppet troops.
The Japanese asked the whole village to gather at the entrance of the village. They first asked if they had found any Flying Tigers pilots. After the villagers shook their heads in denial, the Japanese soldiers and puppet troops immediately began to search every house.
They are not without intelligence like many anti-war dramas. They can't find people hiding wherever they want.
On the contrary, they searched for Flying Tiger pilots in this movie with the same rigor as the German SS searched for Jews in "Schindler's List."
In fact, real war is so cruel.
In "Schindler's List", if the German SS suspected that someone might be hiding under the floor, they would not even open it and shoot dozens or hundreds of bullets first.
They would even sneak into the buildings where Jews lived after dark, and use stethoscopes to eavesdrop on the movements in each mezzanine. Once they found someone, they would immediately catch them and shoot them on the spot.
Originally, the Jewish refugees were still crossing the sea and showing off their magical powers. It seemed that they could escape the search of the SS. However, the actual situation was that 99% of them could not escape the search of the SS and were found and brutally killed.
In contrast, many anti-Japanese dramas show that you can deceive Japanese soldiers by hiding in a pile of firewood. They really do not respect history and the true situation of the war at all.
Spielberg also adopted a similar treatment method to "Schindler's List" in the film "Flying Tigers".
In order to find Leonardo, the Japanese soldiers spared no detail. There was a pile of firewood. They first shot, then stabbed hard with their bayonets. Then they had to completely open the pile of firewood to confirm whether there was anyone inside.
It was pitch dark in the cowshed, and the stone trough for feeding the cows was big enough for a person to lie down, so the Japanese soldiers threw two grenades directly into it, killing the cows in the cowshed and causing the cowshed to collapse.
When you see a well, whether it is a dry well or not, throw a grenade into it and blow it up to make sure everything is safe.
As for the cellars dug by farmers, they also threw grenades first and waited for the grenades to explode before going down to check.
The Japanese searched all night until dawn. They turned the whole village upside down but could not find any trace of the Flying Tigers pilots. Only then did they believe that the people in this village were not harboring the Flying Tigers pilots, so they went to the next village to search in frustration.
In order to vent his hatred, before evacuating, the Japanese officer pulled out the most respected elder in the village and shot him without hesitation. In his words: "I killed him to give you a warning. If you encounter him in the future, The Flying Tigers pilots who parachuted and made an emergency landing should take the initiative to capture and give them to the Imperial Army, rather than letting the Imperial Army come and search for them!"
The old man's son was furious and wanted to take revenge on the Japanese officer, but was stabbed through the chest with a bayonet by two guards nearby.
In the few days after the Japanese troops withdrew, Leonardo hid in the secret cave. The driving force of his daily life was waiting for Du Wei to come and deliver food.
Every time Du Wei came over, he tried to communicate with her very enthusiastically, saying all kinds of disgusting but extremely firm love words without her knowing.
Du Wei seemed to be able to sense some desire behind his enthusiasm, so she always dodges a little.
A few days later, he wrote a diary with the pen that the pilot carried. In the diary, he described that he had fallen deeply in love with this Chinese girl who could not understand English. He wanted to confess to her, but he didn't know. How to express love in Chinese? The Flying Tigers only taught them a few Chinese words, but they were all related to the Anti-Japanese War and had nothing to do with love.
In his diary, he prayed that he could survive until the end of the war, because he knew that if he wanted to be with this girl, he had to wait until the day when the Japanese announced their surrender.
…
After the news passed, Du Wei's father came to the cave in person. He told Leonardo that the Japanese search was over and that he was prepared to take him through the Japanese-occupied area and back to the Flying Tigers overnight.
Leonardo only understood the three words "Flying Tigers", but he was keenly aware that he was going to send him back.
However, he looked left and right and couldn't see Du Wei.
He anxiously asked in English: "Sir, where is your daughter?"
Naturally, Du Wei's father didn't understand and urged him to leave with her quickly, otherwise it would be difficult to leave at dawn.
Leonardo had no choice but to follow him.
The two traveled all night, and finally passed through the Japanese-occupied area at dawn, and then found another underground worker hiding in the village.
Du Wei's father told Leonardo that he could only send him here, and the underground worker would send him the rest of the way.
Leonardo realized that he was leaving and hurriedly wrote a note in English with only two sentences: "I love you. Marry me after the war is over."
The signature is his name.
He handed the note to Du Wei's father, then made a gesture of combing his long hair, and said: "Please be sure to pass her to your daughter."
It took Du Wei's father several times to understand what he meant and accepted the note.
Immediately afterwards, Leonardo finally returned to the Flying Tigers' station with the help of many local people and underground workers.
Tom Hanks and Liu Ye were excited about his return.
Leonardo then reentered the daily routine of training, fighting, training, and fighting.
It's just that he has always been obsessed with Du Wei, and even drew Du Wei's head on a piece of paper and pasted it next to the instrument of his plane.
During takeoff training, he would look at Du Wei's portrait, and during takeoff operations, he would also look at Du Wei's portrait, with warm and firm eyes.
On the other side, Liu Ye, who took off and fought with him every time, had eyes full of hatred for his family and country, turning a blind eye to Anne Hathaway, who was always looking at him resentfully in a corner of the ground.
Although the two are both comrades-in-arms, the way they treat the opposite sex forms a sharp contrast here.
Soon, the plot reached a new peak.
In order to annihilate the Flying Tigers in one fell swoop, the Japanese Air Force assembled a large number of air forces to prepare to kill the Flying Tigers in one battle.
The entire Flying Tigers took off to meet the enemy, and the longest, largest, and most shocking air battle in the entire movie was finally staged.
Many of the aerial combat scenes were shot with real cameras, and the special effects in the later films were also astonishingly detailed, and the scenes were heroic and tragic.
The combination of Liu Ye and Leonardo has become red-blooded. They desperately dealt with the Japanese Air Force's fighter planes and tried their best to kill the enemy. Both of their fighters were injured in many places.
However, in this battle, the Flying Tigers had no retreat. If they failed, the entire Flying Tigers might disappear completely, so the pilots from both China and the United States tried their best.
The same goes for the Japanese Air Force. They also suffered a large number of casualties. There were also Japanese pilots who watched their comrades explode and disintegrate in the air. Then they shouted hysterically in Japanese for revenge and rushed towards the Flying Tigers plane desperately.
At this moment, the two sides were completely fighting hand-to-hand on the ground. From time to time, planes were shot, exploded, and crashed, leaving the entire sky in a mess.
Liu Ye was shot in the fuselage again during the fight with the Japanese army. Only this time, the large-caliber bullet penetrated the plane from the side and penetrated the fuselage, leaving a bloody hole the size of a walnut in his abdomen. hole.
Blood gushes out from this blood hole like spring water.
Other bullets hit the nose of the plane, and the engine emitted a burst of black smoke and made a violent vibration.
Leonardo only saw smoke coming from the nose of Liu Ye's plane, and immediately told Liu Ye through the airborne radio: "Li, your plane has been hit. Leave the battlefield quickly and prepare to parachute. I will cover you!"
At this time, Liu Ye was shot, his body was pale and his face was covered with sweat. He knew that he was going to die. He told Leonardo in English through the airborne radio: "I was hit and I can't go back."
Leonardo shouted: "Of course I know you have been hit, I can see your engine smoking, for the sake of God, while it is still spinning, I will cover you to evacuate the battlefield, you go to 6 Fly in the o'clock direction, and try to stay away from the Japanese war zone when parachuting."
Liu Ye said at this time: "Dean, not only my plane was shot, but I was also shot."
Leonardo's figure and expression froze, and he was so panicked that he said incoherently: "You... you... you... where were you shot?"
After saying that, before Liu Ye could reply, he started talking to himself again and said, "But it doesn't matter if you get shot. Have you forgotten that the beautiful nurse in the hospital likes you very much? She will definitely try her best to cure you. Yours. To be honest, Li, I was so fucking envious of you before. That nurse was so beautiful. I always wondered how she could fall in love with you instead of me, but now I don’t envy you anymore... "
"Why?" Liu Ye asked with a weak smile while controlling the plane to turn around and rush into the enemy planes on the flank: "Is it because of the girl next to your dashboard?"
"Shit!" Leonardo suddenly became nervous: "You peeked at my angel!"
Liu Ye smiled and said, "Sorry, I couldn't help but take a peek out of curiosity."
Leonardo wanted to say something, but then he suddenly discovered that Liu Ye was rushing towards the enemy aircraft group. He was shocked and shouted: "Fake! Li, are you crazy? Do you want to fight one against five? Do it quickly." Roll out and get out!"
Liu Ye was concentrating on controlling the smoking plane, looking at the Japanese military planes getting closer and closer, and said: "Dean, help me convey to Jenny that I am very grateful for her feelings for me. If we met in peacetime, She, I will definitely propose to her and marry her, but now that the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, as a son of the Chinese nation, I cannot tolerate any affair between children, so thank her for me."
Leonardo cursed hysterically: "You are so sick! You should tell him these words yourself, I won't go and convey it to you!"
At this time, Liu Ye had already exchanged fire with the oncoming Japanese troops. However, Liu Ye had one man and one aircraft, and it was difficult for him to defeat the enemy's five men and five aircraft. The fuselage was quickly hit by multiple bullets.
At the moment when it was almost about to explode, the smoking nose suddenly pulled up, Liu Ye opened the machine gun, and tongues of flame instantly spurted out, hitting the Japanese aircraft directly in front. The other pilot was hit by several bullets and died with his eyes open.
At this time, the pilots of several other Japanese fighter planes almost went berserk, shouting at the same time: "Watanabe-kun!" and then fired wildly at Liu Ye's shattered plane.
With a bang, Liu Ye's fighter plane exploded in the air.
With this explosion, the camera switched to Chennault on the ground. He could no longer see the battlefield in visual distance, but for some reason, he still couldn't hold the cigar in his hand and fell to the ground.
Anne Hathaway was preparing first-aid equipment for doctors in the hospital. An explosion caused the hemostatic forceps in her hand to fall off instantly...
Then, the camera pans back to the sky.
Liu Ye's fighter plane had completely disintegrated in the air, bursting out with a burst of fire and billowing black smoke, and scattered instantly...
