in world war 2 a group of 4 soldiers was stuck they were from Mountain Division sergeant dave medic kale two more soldiers which one was injured by the bullet that shot in his stomach his name was lance and the one that was dragging him was joe they were separated after the attack on the division they were in Vietnam near Phu Si Lung the Japanese soldier was stationed there to reduce the influence of France.

dave " we all have to be on the move there are Japanese soldiers that will be searching for us we have to find some safe ground to hide and treat the injured soldier

medic point to the mountain it was Phu Si Lung mountain since they were originally mountain division they were train climb the mountain

joe says that this idea is ridiculous how can they climb the mountain with an injured person

dave " that is the only option we will look for a cave or hiding spot you can see the mountain range there will a cave or spot that we can use as a hiding spot until reinforcement come we have to climb the mountain we can get better signal to call for reinforcement we can be saved from Japanese soldier as well.

joe does not agree to this but has no other option lance was bleeding badly they have to find a spot fast

dave was leading the way they all reach the mountain by hiding and avoiding the path Japanese soldier has not given up and was still on their tail

when dave and the team reach the mountain dave climb a little then throw a rope at joe he tied lance then dave and kale pull him up because the rope was not long they have to do this repeatedly when they climb little dave see there is a small about a person wide crack he thought there can be water dripping there dave order kale to start lance treatment but they were still vulnerable because they do not even climb that much dave point to the crack that there might water be dripping there after two days we can have water we will stop for10 min I will check it collect water meanwhile kale do some basic treatment on the lance.

when dave reach the crack he sees there is no water dripping there but he feels air coming from inside he knows from his experience it is hollow in there it can be a cave dave started to check its pocket to find a lighter so he can check inside the crack if it really a path to the cave he did not found he asks his team member if they have lighter lance put his hand up when he was laying on the ground treated by kale he says check it in my pocket he has the lighter then kale check found the lighter he light it up to check it dave was experienced climer of the mountain he had checked before if there were gases coming out of a crack or not before lighting the lighter up dave see it is hollow and there is the vast cave in there joe was on the lookout it was the time between sunset joe see that Japanese soldier roaming with a dog they were coming this way dog has smell the blood of lance and was leading them to the mountain joe shout that Japanese soldier are near and started to look for dave was not near the crack joe rush there and poke his head in the crack calling dave name dave reply form inside you alll come in here there is cave here joe and kale does not have time to think they grab lance of the ground and one by one started to go inside there it was tight they have to squeez thier stomach joe and kale go in fine but lance was not able to go inside his wound in the stomach was bleeding when he was squeeing it
