The post could be recaptured only through a sparse mountain, which was surrounded on both sides by the straight slopes and had no greenery. There were three dunes along with the mountain peak, out of which two could be easily occupied. The third one, situated 2-3 furlongs away, was stormed by the Japaanese army. However, the Gorkha platnoon advanced forward. Some of its soldiers died, but the platnoon continued its march which finally culminated into a face-to-face fighting against the Japanese. Ultimately, the Japanese had to flee. The Gorkha troops captured the Eastern Vasha dune. In this victory, Gaj Ghale demonstrated a remarkable valour. At many places, the mountain was not wider than five feet, but Gar Ghale never thought of returning.
