The US 21st Infantry is ordered to withdraw from Angang-ni to Kyongju. As the regiment moves out, the 2nd battalion realized that G Company was left behind. The Regimental commander orders the battalion to return, fin the company and then continue to withdraw. Thye do so and now must fight their way through North Korean roadblock.

The battalion encounters a strong NK roadblock at a village and decides to out flank it hoping to defeat a weaker line of infantry in the woods. One company is sent on the West flank to fix the NK units in the town and those on the west ridge. The NK infantry in woods put up a stiff resistance which allows the the rest of the NK force to react and establish a defense in depth. In the West, the NK infatry devastates the US company sent to fix that flank. Accurate fire demoralizes the Americans, the North Koreans counterattack and send the Americans reeling back. In the east, The Americans do push through and start to grind down the North Koreans, but the reacting NK infantry sets up in length along the ridge line forcing the Americans to face a gauntlet of fire. US casualties mount from deadly and accurate NK fires and soon the unit casualties are too high. The 2d Battalion commander orders the battalion to fall back so they can find another way out of the trap. The North Koreans win.
