The Chinese keep trying to provoke Rai's Paltan with random acts of aggression. Rai understands that they are following Mao's red book on guerrilla warfare. He reciprocates with mind warfare tactics of his own. The Chinese respond by building bunkers on no man's land, which Rai orders to be demolished. Then in a different area, Chinese construct defensive positions just near the border, which is considered very aggressive. Rai orders 2Lt. Attar Singh (Luv Sinha) to go deep into Chinese territory for reconnaissance, and he reports that Chinese are doing some major military activity to take over Nathu La pass.
When the Chinese dig a trench in Indian territory, Sagat orders a border demarcating fence to be erected. Maj. Cheema (Rohit Roy) and his field engineers are given the job to complete the fencing. The Chinese start cutting the fence the next day after they are erected as having a demarcated border is not in their interest. This leads to lots of minor scuffles along the Nathu La border pass. But as the fencing progresses, the tensions escalate and one day the Chinese commander orders his forces to start firing on Indian troops working on the fencing. The Indian army retaliates with mortar fire of its own, leading to heavy damage across both sides of the border.
The Chinese start artillery fire, but when Rai asks for the same, Sagat asks him to hold his position. As the order never comes, the Chinese order invasion of the Indian post as the fight escalates very quickly. The Indian troops realize that the Chinese have built a secret tunnel to supply troops right up to the border, without any Indians knowing about it. Dagar sacrifices himself to blow up the tunnel and cut their path to reinforcement. Harbhajan is killed while trying to stop the last wave of reinforcements.
The artillery fire permission is granted and the Indian army guns finish off the remaining bunkers and troops on the CHinese side. After 3 days the Chinese surrender. They ask for their bodies to be retrieved from the Indian side, to which Rai agrees. But then when they ask for Indian bodies to be returned, the Chinese ask for a letter to be signed that States that India infiltrated Chinese territory and hence their bodies are on the Chinese side. The fence at Nathu La gains permanent status.
