While Kilo Company was fighting on the eastern end of the summit and coming under artillery fire, Lima Company was making its way up the southern slopes of Mount Harriet under heavy machine gun fire from Second Lieutenant Pablo Oliva's platoon which opened up soon after Captain Wheen's men crossed the start line. Milans and artillery support were successful in knocking out these and other enemy machine-gun sangars, but it took a number of hours and 14 wounded from Argentinian artillery and sniper fire, before Lima Company's half of the summit was taken, still in the dark. 5 Troop was then sent forward to the next objective just to the north of the summit, but was initially held up until Second Lieutenant Lautaro Jiménez Corbalán 3rd Rifle Platoon crumbled under mortar and artillery fire.
