Soldiers, where are you going?
One of them does not feel well, he has dysentery
Both of you, stop there!
Stop!
You idiot, it was your guard!
Watch out for those deserters!
In which unit have you been?
in the 3-14 of Ygashiyama
I heard that they give you real food here...
Food? That has a nice sound.
I also am from Yokohama
When all this is over, you can come visit me.
Lieutenant, look at this!
That should serve to you as a lesson
to everyone who wants to surrender!
We have to get through that crossfire in order to make it to North
and join our forces
Listen
We will make for those caves, and move on from there
Don't waste your ammunition, not a single bullet
Don't shoot at random
Ready to cross!
Try to use the rocks as cover
These are the troops of Nishi, and survivors of Suribachi
No officers with you?
I congratulate you on arriving here
Fujita, some water for them!
Fujita
I'm sorry, Sir, there'ss no water left.
I'm very sorry. But at least you'll be able to rest for a while.
You seem familiar to me...
Yes Sir! You saved my life on two ocassions!
The first time, it was the day in which you arrived at the Island.
Yes, I remember that clearly. Get some rest now.
Hanako, I am not sure that this letter will reach you.
but it calms me to write to you
We have spent the last five days without water or food.
in order to survive, we are doing things that I won't describe to you.
There is no escape for me any more, so that
the only thing that worries me is you and the baby.
Here, drink some alcohol
the battle approaches its end without ammunition, or water to drink.
All the survivors will make a general attack
pray for victory and the security of the Empire, I am saying goodbye to you!
Unfortunately, I couldn't fulfill all my duties for the mother country.
Without normal fighting, we had to lose in these conditions.
You survived the Suribachi?
It had to be an incredible trip?
You are a complete soldier...
No, sir, I'm just a humble baker.
You're a baker? You have a family?
I have wife, and a baby who was born during the last summer in Umilla.
And I didn't get to know it yet.
That strange
I promised myself to fight until the death for my family.
But now to think about my family, makes it
difficult to me to fulfill the promise
We have received a message Sir! It is urgent
For General Kuribayashi and his troops
who have fought bravely for our country
The children of Nagano, City of the General
they sang a song in their honor
on the waves of the Pacific Ocean
to the south of the Imperial city.
A small solitary island floats
the destiny of our Imperial country
it lies in the hands of this island
Iwo Jima
While we resist
we feel assured, that the imperial soil
will always be peaceful
we will fight with pride, love, to any cost
our island of the pride
Iwo Jima
Do me a favor
Stay and burn all the military documents,
together with my personal belongings.
Everything is happening three times.
We will mount a general attack.
Although Sakama is lost
today our country praised our dedication,
it bequeathed a day to remember us....
but today, we must give everything for our country, until the death.
I will always be at the front of you
my sabre will be the legacy, and my bones the trophy.
Start shooting.  Banzai!
No more..
no more...
Fujita
It is an order
You again...
I want to ask you a favor
Bury me, so that nobody can find me
Taro. Soon I will arrive home
I am glad of being able to do it
but I feel sad to leave my friends here
I was driving my vehicle
but I felt quite lonely
Is this Japanese soil?
Yes!
This is still Japan
We found something
We have something
Letters...
