Fox Company（连） maintains its hold on Fox Hill despite the lack of reinforcements and continuing frigid weather.
The previous night had been calm, but at 0200. the Marines are greeted by a curious sounding Chinese soldier who pretends to pass himself off as an officer from the 11th Marines（陆战团）.
Fox Company（连） hears a plea that the Marines should surrender to the Chinese and in return they would be given clothes and fair treatment.
The Marines（陆战团）, unable to see the benevolent messenger, greet him with illumination shells.
Once the sky brightens, the Marines notice that the impostor is trailed by a large force of Chinese troops approaching from the south.
★★★
The Marines（陆战团）, having refused surrender and the new clothes, greet the attackers with hot steel as they maneuver across the valley.
They unleash a furious enfilade of fire, including machine gun and mortars, which devastates the enemy assault.
By dawn, it is clear that the Marines still own the hill and when the Corsairs soar overhead just after dawn, the success is validated.
About three enemy companies are wiped out.
Fox Company（连） sustains none killed and only one Marine（陆战） wounded.
