"I won't let a single person die. We're all coming home alive." Can Nogi overcome his greatest trial yet?
About
With the cooperation of his brother Nokoru, the members of the Beppan rescue operation have assembled. Awaiting them as they cross into Ghorbad is the most grueling rescue mission they have ever faced. Meanwhile, the blades of Shin-shi, who seek to block the rescue, are closing in. Can everyone make it back alive!?
Nogi, in order to rescue Kurosu and other Beppan members detained by Shin-shi, collaborates with Nokoru to devise a unique rescue operation.
The operation includes Nogi, Nokoru, Shinjo, Chocky, and others. It is a mixed team combining not only Beppan but also Tent members and civilian forces.
Nogi's policy is "not just to rescue the Beppan members, but to ensure everyone returns alive without a single casualty."
The Beppan side predicts that if Shin-shi cannot extract information from the members themselves, they will target their families.
In fact, Shin-shi moves their operative in Japan, Lu, to target Kurosu's family.
However, the Japanese side also anticipated this, and the Special Forces Group lies in wait. They protect Kurosu's family and thwart Shin-shi's operations in Japan.
Meanwhile, at the Shin-shi side, the interrogation and torture of Kurosu and the others continue. The Beppan members do not leak any information.
To further corner the Beppan members, Shin-shi murders their comrade, Wada.
Around that time, Nogi and his team move the operation forward and begin their assault on Shaki Castle, where the Beppan members are being held.
The plan is to infiltrate Shaki Castle, find Kurosu and the others, rescue them, and escape together.
Nogi and the others had simulated enemy placement and behavior in advance, but unexpected situations arise during the actual assault.
