:27:04
- Deal 'em up, deal 'em up.
- You know, we don't take wampum here.
:27:08
Beautiful.
:27:35
All right, then.
:27:37
Orders finally came through.
:27:41
We ship out tomorrow morning.
:27:50
Destination: the island of Saipan,
:27:54
which is one of the stepping stones
we gotta take on our road show to Tokyo.
:27:59
It's of strategic importance
that we capture this island.
:28:02
We can get ourselves
an advanced naval base
:28:05
and an airstrip to land and refuel B-29's
:28:09
and get our bombers
within range of Tokyo.
:28:12
Now, Saipan is Japanese soil,
and there's 30,000 of 'em dug in.
:28:18
They're gonna fight for every square inch,
:28:20
because it's their home,
but we're gonna take it away from 'em!
:28:24
Yeah! Kill me some Japs!
:28:33
We're gonna be in front
of the whole damn division.
:28:36
We're gonna be the eyes and the ears.
:28:39
We're gonna be
sniffin' out enemy positions,
:28:42
coordinating the naval gunfire -
:28:44
exactly what we've been training to do
for the last four months. All right?
:28:56
Now, we got some new radiomen
from headquarters.
