Late afternoon August 18, 1966 South Vietnam – for three and a half hours, in the pouring rain, amid the mud and shattered trees of a rubber plantation called Long Tan, Major Harry Smith and his dispersed company of 108 young and mostly inexperienced Australian and New Zealand soldiers are fighting for their lives, holding off an overwhelming enemy force of 2,500 battle hardened Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers.

Try something along the line of : When an overwhelming force of Veit Cong soldiers attack their position, an untried Major must motivate his inexperienced soldiers to turn the tide of the battle.

Good god this is long and has far too many exact details and events. Just focus on the story.
