The Red Chinese have set up their artillery O.P. in the Temple and Baker Company's efforts to take it fail. Since Thorn made a promise not to destroy the sacred shrine, the Americans retreat. Seeing the Americans retreat the Reds come out yelling and celebrating. Unknown to them, not all of Baker Company left and enough remained hidden in the trenches to capture them and the Temple.
