Under tremendous pressure to get past Alpha Company, they launched yet another determined attack that was supported by artillery and mortars at 2.50 p.m. Once again, Subedar Udai Singh and his men stood firm. For the fifth time on that fateful day, the Chinese had to withdraw. Though it is hard to confirm the casualties on the Chinese side, almost all records say 300 Chinese soldiers were killed and wounded. Miraculously, at this stage of the fighting, only two Garhwalis had been killed, though many men were hit by shrapnel and were walking wounded.
