It sounds impossible. It sounds like a movie script. But in the freezing mountains of Korea in 1951, it actually happened.

The odds were 44 to 1.

On a dark night during the massive Chinese Spring Offensive, the United Nations lines were crumbling. British and Turkish units were being overrun. The order was given to retreat. But one unit didn't get the memo.

The 10th Battalion Combat Team (PEFTOK) of the Philippines—just 900 men—stood their ground against an overwhelming force of 40,000 Chinese soldiers. Faced with the terrifying "Human Wave" attack, bugles blowing in the dark, and ammunition running low, the Filipinos did the unthinkable: They fought back.

This is the true story of the Battle of Yultong. The night the "Fighting Filipinos" proved General MacArthur right when he said, "Give me ten thousand Filipinos and I shall conquer the world."
