1. Mago marks the southern entrance of the valley and Chuna the northern end of it bordering the LAC.Steep mountainous terrain which needs hours of trekking to reach posts

2. Peak XXX sits to the west of this area and has commanding view of the ridges and tracks across the LAC deep into Cona County.The PLA sent in roughly 300 troops with melee weapons with a clear intention to kill/miam the IA troops holding the area.
3. Closely placed echelons on the lower ridges and the river valley were quickly able to reinforce the 50 troops firmly facing the PLA onslaught and reinforcements poured in from multiple directions immediately after being radioed.
4. What started with abuses and stone pelting gradually progressed to fisticuffs and then fierce hand to hand combat where the PLA troops were overpowered and in some cases their weapons were used against them.
5. This free for all went on until the PLA found itself losing ground with many of their troops overpowered and battered while IA troops kept pouring in with their own melee weapons.Things went south from there and the PLA troops started falling back.
6. The IA troops were in no mood to relent and went after the retreating PLA troops who were running for their lives after having borne the burnt of the counter-attack.Gunshots were heard from the PLA's rear as they attempted to deter further assault.
7. The area of the faceoff has been reinforced and the units in the vicinity are on a high state of alert.All in all a very comprehensive drubbing for the PLA with a dozen plus of their troops dead or extremely critical (skulls opened/crushed).
