As they attempted to continue up the hill, several Chinese soldiers from a nearby trench opened fire, injuring another soldier. According to witness reports, Bleak rushed the trench and dove into it, tackling one Chinese soldier and, with only his hands, broke the soldier's neck, killing him. Bleak was then confronted by a second soldier, whom he reportedly grabbed by the neck, fatally crushing his windpipe. A third Chinese soldier then approached, and in the ensuing scuffle, Bleak used his combat knife to stab and kill the soldier.[2][3][5]
Reading these accounts and having served in the Infantry myself, it still blows me away to hear people advocating for allowing women to serve in the combat arms.

They didn't at the time. They were considered to be noncombatants and firing at one was supposed to be a war crime. That's been so often ignored that most of them carry weapons and don't wear any distinguishing insignia now.
That is interesting. I can't imagine being sent into battle with no gun and a bag full of morphine.

Wouldn't have been long before they realized I shouldn't be trusted with a bag of morphine
