's very dark outside already, Sir
He is going to drive everybody crazy.
Commanders always do
Another letter?
Don't you know that the mail only leaves
when there is a boat?
I have a big family
So why do you send those letters only to your wife?
I'll do you the favor, the other one didn't arrive!
What are you doing?
I worked in the Department of Censorship
before my transfer.
Let's see what you are doing wrong...
"Dear Hanako, we soldiers dig, we dig all day.. "
No, nothing like this is ever happening here,
you can't write that.
Give it back immediately!
Calm down already!
You are going to be thankful to me later.
Next one!
Shoot!
Are you blind, soldier?
The target is over ther!
My son of 6 years shoots better than you
Resume shooting!
You are a shame!
You want to be an imperial soldier?
You think that this is a game?
I have work for you, go clean the boots of the entire regiment!
Step back!
They need to learn to clean their rifles, not their boots
What are those tanks doing here?
They are out of service, Sir!
Most of them need spare parts.
For how long? A month Sir.
Father, here in America there is a flood of automobiles.
I have to take care to cross the street.
There are cars everywhere.
Father, are they caring well for you and does mother obey?
I miss you very much.
We will move the tanks into position as artillery cannons.
Yes Sir, will be done immediately.
Hanako, we have a celebrity here, Baron Nishi,
Olympic gold in the horse jump.
He will be in charge of the 2nd tank regiment.
That he came here from Tokyo, is quite pleasant.
He is said to be a real favorite with the ladies
But on this island there are no women left that he can seduce
Lieutenant Colonel Nishi, you brought
your horse with you by the look of it.
Yes, from Shichi Jima.
I was in the cavalry.
I heard so, Sir!
It is an honor for me to be under your command,
as you understand as much of horses as I do.
When we rode with our horses in the battlefield
Those were true times! Not like with these machines.
I can request another horse for you! Let's ride together, Sir.
Thanks no, not anymore.
Please, tell me about the famous horse,
with which you won the Olympic Games
My stallion Uranus.
Very beautiful, an excellent horse!
I acquired it in Italy
They were happy to get rid of it,
as it was a very wild horse.
Nobody could mount that beast
I said then that I and a horse so obstinate,
we would make a good pair.
Have supper with me tonight, let's drink something
It will be an honor for me
How did you get that Johnny Walker here?
That is a secret of war!
Excuse me, this is everything we have available
It's alright, as long as we have this!
And this empty plate?
I passed the order that all the officers
had to eat the same rations as the troops.
I know Sir, but the rule is to serve 3 plates
So we have to empty those three plates?
Thank you.
It is lamentable that most of the fleet have been destroyed
We even have some battleships.
But we have very few possibilities left for attack from the air or the sea
What are you talking about, Nishi?
Didn't you hear about the battle in the Marianas?
The aircraft carrier and the planes of
the Admiral Ozawa were annihilated
The Headquarters
They are deceiving the Japanese public, and lie to us as well!
General, you want to hear my sincere opinion?
The best thing than we could do
is to send this island to the bottom of the sea, with all of us on it.
And you even came here knowing all this?
Well, I thought that we would have
to occupy all the tanks that we have.
It must be here
The enemy is going to disembark right here!
Run, soldier!
As if the enemy was disembarking! Run!
Run... towards there, what decision would you take?
Continue running... in both directions
keep running! don't stop!
Listen
I believe that the commander became crazy.
His pistol
He must have taken it from a dead American
Perhaps!
The rest is over!
To work!
Are you
