Both Marine rifle Company's engaged the enemy who were in well entrenched, fortified, and in concealed positions along a tree line which began at the base of Hill 407. The enemy force was equipped with 12.7mm machine guns, mortars and a variety of small arms which rained a heavy volume of fire on the attacking Marines. The battle continued until both units were able to withdraw with their casualties into a defensive perimeter that night.
