1:19:00
- the Japs can't get through in time.
- How long do we hold them?
1:19:04
From 8:00 in the morning,
when the bombardment begins until 11:00.
1:19:07
By that time,
MacArthur's beachhead should be secure.
1:19:10
Okay.
1:19:11
But the army doesn't expect to have
forces at Bolog until 2:30...
1:19:16
which means six hours and a half
before we can figure on any help.
1:19:20
Okay.
1:19:23
- Is that all, sir?
- I think so.
1:19:25
You don't seem to have much equipment.
1:19:27
We'll get more at Bolog.
There's a Jap supply depot there.
1:19:29
That's open country,
nothing but rice paddies all around.
1:19:32
We know.
1:19:33
What this amounts to
is a surprise attack in broad daylight...
1:19:37
in open country where the Japs
would probably expect something.
1:19:40
That's right, sir. It won't be easy.
1:19:42
I think you can report to headquarters
that the mission will be accomplished.
1:19:46
Yes, sir.
1:19:48
- Do you have any idea how it'll be done?
- Sure.
1:19:51
Just so I can tell my grandchildren,
how do you plan to do it?
1:19:54
Trickery, Commander, sheer trickery.
1:19:56
As a matter of fact, an old Filipino trick
that I learned the hard way...
1:20:01
from Capt. Bonifacio's grandfather.
1:20:37
- Any sign of anything?
- No, Your Excellency.
1:20:39
Have you checked
the undergrowth over there?
1:20:40
Yes, Your Excellency. Nothing suspicious.
1:20:43
It's very strange.
Civilians are evacuating this area.
1:20:45
- Double the sentries.
- Yes, Your Excellency.
