After nearly an hour of shelling, the Chinese army attacked with the strength of about one battalion. By evening China occupied the Galvan Post. 68 Indian soldiers were present there, 36 were martyred while protecting their borders. Many Indian soldiers also ended up becoming prisoners of war. After this fight, China captured Aksai-chin entirely. This war lasted for a month, in which around 20 thousand Indian soldiers and 80 thousand Chinese soldiers took part.
