Resumen del episodio 30 de Ace Troops
> Resúmenes de Ace Troops
Gu Yiye spoke with Gao Liang about his married life, confessing that his shoulder injury, which rendered his arm numb and immobile during emotional distress, had no medical cure. He revealed that only Xiu's comforting hugs would calm him, making him feel safe and cherished. Gu Yiye, a man who deeply believed in logic and science, admitted that he now believed in a person and a feeling.
Gao Liang, in response, stated that Xiu gave Gu Yiye something no one else could: love—the love between them. Meanwhile, Zheng Yuan informed his daughter, Jiang Nanzheng, that at nearly thirty, after completing her graduate studies, it was time for her to marry. He added that her mother planned to visit her and, implicitly, wanted to meet her future son-in-law.
Zheng Yuan expressed gratitude for Jiang Nanzheng's efforts in mediating his past conflicts with her mother, which had softened her mother's stance and resolved a long-standing regret for him. Before meeting Jiang Nanzheng, Xiu questioned Gu Yiye's attire and the expensive restaurant he was going to. She remarked that Jiang Nanzheng, with her good family background and beauty, deserved such treatment, especially for enduring the company of "uncouth fellows" like them in the army.
Xiu then shared her own discomfort with expensive outings, telling Gu Yiye that she didn't want him to change himself to please her, as she loved him for who he was. They also briefly discussed Xiaofei, with Xiu noting his intelligence but expressing hesitation about him joining the army. Gu Yiye was then left to pick up Xiaofei as Xiu headed to night school. At dinner, Jiang Nanzheng asked Gu Yiye why he couldn't have just called.
He explained he simply wanted to see her and mentioned that Xiu had picked his clothes and missed her. Gu Yiye then revealed his true purpose: to advocate for Gao Liang, claiming Nanzheng was largely responsible for Gao Liang's current slump. He implored her to be patient and understanding, describing her as Gao Liang's "anchor" during this difficult time. Jiang Nanzheng playfully retorted that it sounded like Gu Yiye and Gao Liang were the ones in a relationship.
Gu Yiye explained that Gao Liang was "pondering his mistakes" and not in a state to see her. He praised Nanzheng as beautiful, talented, and the first information engineering postgraduate in Army A, calling Gao Liang fortunate despite her occasional temper. Jiang Nanzheng, touched, joked that he was quite good at "begging for forgiveness." She then inquired if he had received Han Chunyu's wedding invitation, remarking on how quickly time passed and how Chunyu was soon to be a bride.
At Han Chunyu and Xia Lin's wedding, a festive atmosphere prevailed. Gu Yiye attended with Xiaofei, as Xiu was at night school, though she had sent date cakes for the newlyweds for the next day. Gu Yiye told Jiang Nanzheng that Xiu had become enthusiastic about night school after he accompanied her to a couple of classes. He also credited Gao Liang for advising him to be more attentive to his wife.
Noticing Jiang Nanzheng's forced smile and quiet envy after seeing Han Chunyu in her wedding dress and observing his own family attentiveness, Gu Yiye toasted the newlyweds before leaving with Xiaofei to pick up Xiu. Shortly after, Gao Liang arrived late with a gift. When comrades pressed him about when he would marry Jiang Nanzheng, he quickly diverted the conversation, further upsetting her.
Xia Lin shared a drink with Gao Liang, stating that Han Chunyu was like a sister to him and warning Gao Liang against ever bullying her, lest he break his legs. Gao Liang promised he would not. Later that evening, Jingjing showed Han Chunyu a drawing, a fantasy portrait of "Uncle Gao Liang" saving her. Han Chunyu lovingly put Jingjing to bed.
Observing this, Xia Lin was later seen resting alone on the sofa, a silent indication of the strained dynamics in his own marriage due to Jingjing's deep attachment to Gao Liang. Qin Hanyong, the newly appointed captain of Special Operation Battalion 2, caught Niu Mancang and a soldier attempting to capture a pigeon. Qin Hanyong expressed his disappointment, sarcastically suggesting the report should commend "Second-class Merit Award Soldier Niu Mancang for catching a bird."
Niu Mancang explained that the battalion's morale was low due to their impending replacement, with soldiers uncertain if they would be reassigned to sapper duties, pig farming, or discharged altogether. Qin Hanyong admonished them, emphasizing that an army incapable of handling defeat would never triumph. He challenged them, stating that if they couldn't even catch a bird, they certainly couldn't regain their unit designation. He then ordered them to prepare their gear and assemble in 30 seconds.
Gao Liang subsequently gathered the entire battalion, acknowledging their devastating defeat and uncertain future. He presented them with two options: surrender or persevere. He announced the Special Operation Battalion 2's party branch had decided to enter the army group's contest to fight for their designation. He swore to lead them in avenging their humiliation, vowing that if they failed, he would resign from the military and apologize before their flag.
He passionately declared that if they couldn't be elite soldiers and an ace unit, they had no right to remain in the army. The troops, their morale reignited, enthusiastically chanted slogans of special forces spirit and determination. An officer reported to Zheng Yuan that Gu Yiye of the First Red Battalion, Regiment 700, was the first to sign up for the contest, followed by Gao Liang and Special Operation Battalion 2.
He noted the long-standing rivalry between Gu Yiye and Gao Liang. Zheng Yuan acknowledged Gao Liang's resilience. The officer further reported that four other infantry battalions, initially eager to compete, withdrew their applications once Gu Yiye and Gao Liang registered, explaining their fear of Gao Liang, given his undefeated record against the "Four Heavenly Kings" (top soldiers).
Zheng Yuan found this "interesting," contemplating whether it was more potent to be victorious or to instill fear in one's adversaries, before signing a document. Jiang Nanzheng returned home to discuss her upcoming assignment to an advance team for the Hong Kong Garrison, in anticipation of the Hong Kong handover. Zheng Yuan, proud of her, commented that this mission would demand wisdom, willpower, and passion. He then inquired about her relationship with Gao Liang.
Despite Nanzheng's attempts to deflect, Zheng Yuan insisted on discussing marriage. He confessed his past anxieties, awkwardness, and fear when encountering her mother, attributing it to his own perceived inadequacies and inability to change their strained relationship, describing it as "torture." He then shared an observation from He Zhigeng: while other soldiers feared Gao Liang, Zheng Yuan believed Gao Liang was actually afraid of Jiang Nanzheng.
Later, Jiang Nanzheng celebrated her birthday with comrades in her dorm, which coincided with the celebration of Hong Kong's return. Gao Liang arrived, and seeing Hou Jian already there, became visibly jealous, questioning flowers Hou Jian had brought, which Nanzheng admired. Gao Liang promptly claimed his seat.
After Nanzheng led a toast for Hong Kong's return, Gao Liang seized the opportunity to invite her to Special Operation Battalion 2 the following morning to inspect new equipment suffering from communication blockages, assuring her it wouldn't disrupt her schedule for the advance team. Hou Jian agreed to accompany her and bring an R-2 transmission device. Gao Liang then curtly dismissed Hou Jian, stating it was "none of his business."
The next morning, at the Special Operation Battalion, Gao Liang introduced Jiang Nanzheng to Zong Hui, the "parachuting king," and showcased a Delta wing aircraft, the army's first experimental model. He explained its year-long test flight program to gather data for wider deployment. Zong Hui reported its impressive test flight record, confirming it met safety standards despite minor incidents.
Gao Liang then invited Jiang Nanzheng to participate in the 188th test flight, emphasizing the need for extreme performance data and her technical expertise. During the flight, after pointing out landmarks, Gao Liang faked an aircraft malfunction, causing Jiang Nanzheng to emotionally confess her love for him. He then revealed it was a birthday prank, wished her a happy birthday, and reciprocated her confession. Jiang Nanzheng, playfully calling him "annoying," reaffirmed her love, stating she loved him the most.
Qin Hanyong later confronted Gao Liang, urging him to marry Jiang Nanzheng to curb his disruptive behavior within the army. Gao Liang, however, insisted on delaying marriage until Hong Kong's return, citing Nanzheng's deployment and his commitment to the ongoing contest. Qin Hanyong sarcastically questioned if Gao Liang believed the Special Operations Force couldn't function without him. Gao Liang adamantly declared his determination to reclaim the unit's designation and honor, having sworn an oath.
Qin Hanyong warned him that the contest was critical to the brigade's re-organization, and if he intended to stay, he must be prepared for potential further failure and a slow process. He also informed Gao Liang that Battalion 2 would be deployed for field training the following month. Gao Liang called Han Chunyu to inquire about communication support for the contest. Han Chunyu informed him she was heading to Mt.
Guier the next day with the military district's communication department to investigate persistent faults along the No. 5 Defense Communication Line. She mentioned the area was a former minefield but had been cleared. Gao Liang, who was conducting field training nearby at Lubing Slope, warned her to be careful. He then met her on her way, presenting her with her favorite Shandong pancake as an apology for his wedding absence.
Han Chunyu questioned his oath to leave the army if he lost the contest. Gao Liang confirmed his oath, explaining that his military uniform was inextricably linked to his soul and losing it would be excruciating. He clarified that this desperate measure was to uphold military honor and impress upon his comrades that failure to become elite soldiers and an ace unit meant they were unworthy of serving.
Han Chunyu, impressed by his conviction, expressed confidence in his victory and promised to celebrate with him and Nanzheng upon his return. At Mt. Guier, Han Chunyu's team located a breakpoint in the communication line and began repairs. Shortly after, a report arrived: one of Han Chunyu's troubleshooting teams had lost contact. During the subsequent search and rescue, a soldier tragically stepped on a mine and died, and another suffered a leg injury.
Upon learning of the incident, the military district ordered the Group Army to dispatch an engineer team. He Zhigeng suggested sending Division 234's sapper battalion, but Xia Lin argued against it, citing the long travel distance and proposing that personnel from the Special Operations Force be deployed instead.
