Description: A group of eleven soldiers from different units is assigned to blow it up and delay Japanese rebuilding efforts as long as possible. They dig in on a hillside, setting up heavy machine guns in sandbag fortifications. One by one, the defenders are killed, while Ramirez succumbs to Malaria. The remaining soldiers repel a massive frontal assault, inflicting heavy losses on the attacking Japanese. Only Dane, Todd, and a wounded Purckett are left alive.
