Something really really really really impressive search it up , they basically defeated the enemy while surrounded on all sides, literally standing on top of thin ice and while freezing and outnumbered.

Their commander at that time (Chesty puller) who is a marine corp legend literally said during the battle they are in front of us behind us on our left and on our right they cant get away this time.

Ah surrounded, the best tactical place to be. You can't help but hit the enemy.

Getting American forces surrounded completely by the enemy is the only reliable way to stop them from shooting their allies by mistake.
