Major KN Chandpuri was commanding 'A' Coy, 23 Punjab at Longewal. A rifle coy consists of about 136 men and not 600. The PA formation faced by him was 18 Infantry Division consisting of:-
- 206 Infantry Brigade
- 51 Infantry Brigade
- 38 Cavalry (armoured regiment)
- 22 Cavalry (armoured regiment)

The armour was chewed up by the 2 x Hawker Hunters of the IAF (they was later joined by 2 more hunters).
