Colonel Ellman called for an incendiary strike on the Highlanders position as he pressed the assault, turning the valley into a roaring inferno.  By the afternoon, the Highlanders were pushed back to secondary positions while Gamma Regiment pressed the attack.  Meanwhile, Delta Regiment has successfully kept the Lancers from coming to the Highlanders rescue and began to push into the city of Gethin.  By the evening, the Blackwind Lancers were pushed out of Gethin's suburbs while Marion's Highlanders were frantically trying to consolidate at the far end of the valley.  Delta Regiment halted its advanced into Gethin to consolidate its gains and prepare for a final assault on the remaining Liao positions the next day.  However, the Lancers would launch a counterattack just prior to midnight that drove the Dragoons back to the edge of the city.  From there, the Dragoons regrouped and pushed the Capellan attack back to retake the lost ground by dawn.

The fourth day brought further attacks and advances by the Dragoons, but the Liao units would restrict any gains made with a tenacious defense.  However, Jaime Wolf and Travis King thought the defenders were close to breaking and that one more attack would finish them off.

As the attacks started on the fifth day, the Liao defenders in Gethin received reports of a large forced coming in behind them.  The Lancer commander decided to evacuate the city and join up with the Highlanders.  However, it was a ruse.  The reports of a large force were fake messages from the Dragoons' [[Seventh Kommando]] who had infiltrated the Lancer positions during Delta's opening artillery bombardment that day.  In the confusion of the Lancers meeting up with the Highlanders unexpectedly, the Highlander defense collapsed and the Dragoon forces began to surround the Liao defenders.  While the defenders were able to break out of the encirclement, they took such heavy damage that when Liao reinforcements did arrive they could only help the two Capellan regiments escape off world.  The Dragoons has secured their first victory in the Inner Sphere.<ref name=WDp7f/>
