Joe Anderson was ordered to hold his ground during a battle, which resulted in the deaths of all his 15 comrades, and his own middle ear was also injured, causing problems with his balance. He's always been guilty of trying to get back to the front line, ordered to protect the code warriors—those Navajos, who set codes in their own local language, and his mission is not to let the code warriors fall into the hands of the Japanese under any circumstances. Therefore, he kept a distance from Ben Yazi at first. During the missions, the two accumulated a deep relationship. Anderson wanted to transfer him and stop monitoring Yazi. Bai Ma, a small partner with Yazi, was captured by the Japanese during the battle. In order to prevent the enemy from obtaining the password, Anderson threw a grenade and killed both the white horse and the enemy. It also foretells Yazi's future destiny. Both times Yazi pretended to be a Japanese to infiltrate the enemy's camp and succeeded. After finally sending a call for help, Yazi and Anderson successfully broke through. When he was about to be captured, Anderson did not kill Yazi, but stood out from the siege with Yazi on his back, but died himself. Before he died, he told Yazi that he did not want to kill Baima. At the end of the film, Yazi tells his son that Joe is his friend.
