 Chapter 23: The Chinese Spring Offensive On the Western Front
Nine Glosters who had been captured during the Chinese attack on the battalion's supply point the day before and who had been taken off to Hill 675 in the gap escaped their captors during an early morning air strike (Mustangs dropping napalm) and reached the 29th Brigade command post.
The Glosters were dug in by 2100, Company A on the northwest and west, Company C and the remnants of Company B on the south and southeast, and Company D on the north and northeast.
All Glosters, in any case, would now be entirely on their own since, just as they began their withdrawal, Carne received word from brigade headquarters- the last his feeble radio would pick up- that the 45th Field Regiment was under too heavy fire to provide support.

The 23rd Infantry and the French Battalion formed a defensive perimeter on a ring of low hills immediately around the town, and, by mid-morning of the 14th, they were surrounded by a force later estimated to have comprised three Chinese Communist divisions.
Discovering Communist troops dug in atop Hill 180, the Americans made it up the hill under a hail of gunfire and grenades, and decimated the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, killing 41 and wounding 61 others.

They found themselves imprisoned in a tunnel driven into the side of the hill through which a stream flowed continuously, flooding a great deal of the floor, in which were packed a great number of South Korean and European prisoners of war in rags, filthy, crawling with lice.
By this time another company had secured a foothold on a shoulder of the hill, but the greater part of it was still in enemy hands, who were resisting stubbornly with small arms fire and grenades.
At this stage the eastern half of the hill still remained in the hands of a tenacious enemy who hitherto resisted every effort to reach them by bringing down heavy small arms fire supplemented by grenades on the bare crest-line, and who now increased their resistance as Sergt.
