Rose and Gun Episode 1 Recap
> Rose and Gun Recap
A joint sea-land military exercise is underway in a southern maritime area. Advanced warships are cutting through the waves, and the navy has dispatched a vanguard unit to the island to clear obstacles for the main force’s landing. Every member of the vanguard unit is elite among elites, and the chief of staff, who is serving as the overall commander, has been closely monitoring their movements.
While dealing with enemy sentries, the vanguard unit was forced to open fire, which exposed their position. Realizing the situation had changed, the team leader quickly adapted and redirected the assault team. The assault team provided precise coordinates for missile strikes. After destroying the defense targets, the main force began landing operations swiftly. During the exercise, the unit received a distress signal. However, there were no coast guard units in the vicinity.
The chief of staff immediately dispatched a special operations brigade landing craft that was closest to the signal to carry out the rescue. At that time, the fishing boat that had sent the distress signal was in a dire situation, with some people even trapped in flames and unable to escape. Upon receiving the order, the special operations unit rushed to the scene.
When someone fell into the sea, the special operations captain put on an oxygen mask and immediately jumped into the water for the rescue. Other team members worked to save the crew members stranded on the surface. The special operations captain eventually found the most seriously injured girl and gave her his own oxygen. After surfacing, he used a signal flare to alert nearby rescuers, and a helicopter spotted the signal from the air. The rescue mission was a success.
Just as the brigade commander was about to dismiss the special ops team for rest, Captain Wu Si stepped forward and voluntarily requested disciplinary action. Everyone knew that during the day’s operation, Yi Nanwang had made a mistake by opening fire and revealing their position before reaching the designated attack zone. Although Wu Si tried to take full responsibility, Yi Nanwang’s actions were still problematic.
The brigade commander had to seriously consider whether he was fit to remain in the special ops unit, given the high-risk nature of their missions where no errors can be tolerated. Although Tang Xin was rescued by Wu Si, she was injured and taken to the hospital. When she woke up, she was still disoriented by her surroundings. Her mother told her that it was the navy who had saved her.
At that moment, Tang Xin recalled seeing a navy serviceman just before she lost consciousness and felt an urgent need to find him. Tang Xin’s boss, who worked at a newspaper and happened to witness her rescue, wanted to turn it into a compelling story. At the debriefing meeting, Wu Si took full responsibility, but Yi Nanwang admitted fault and believed he no longer had a chance to join the special ops team.
The brigade commander visited the hospital to meet the rescued female journalist and happened to run into his old ship captain — who turned out to be the journalist’s father. The old captain asked the brigade commander to find a suitable partner for his daughter. Initially, the commander was a bit hesitant, but suddenly thought of Wu Si. That evening, the brigade commander approached Wu Si, claiming he needed him for a mission.
Meanwhile, Tang Xin’s parents told her they were taking her on a blind date, but she was unwilling to go. Tang Xin approached the director, asking for the rescue footage to be deleted. She felt she hadn’t actually saved anyone and had even risked her own life. But the director believed it would make for a sensational story.
Moreover, since the footage involved the military, it was a very sensitive matter, and they couldn’t guarantee how timely the news would be. Tang Xin took full responsibility herself. Wu Si and Tang Xin were brought together for the blind date. When Wu Si realized it was a matchmaking setup, he became very nervous. Coincidentally, Commander Wang received an emergency call and had to leave. Tang Xin deliberately messed up the date and didn’t end up meeting Wu Si.
