Along the way, they get pinned down by a German machine gun crew and supporting infantry who are all well protected in an escarpment of large boulders. With a front tire shot out, Archie the truck driver backs the truck a short ways where it is protected by a large rock wall, but they cannot go forward or backward without being exposed to the German firepower. The conflict of decision becomes whether to get the four men to needed surgery or get the load of ammunition to the front lines. Archie is only concerned about the four men who need surgery, but Saunders has to consider all the men who need the ammunition to hold their positions against a German advance. The rest of the episode consists of various actions attempted while trying to take the German position along with the continuous battle of priorities between Archie and Saunders concerning getting aid for the wounded men and delivery of the needed ammo at the front.
