If you go down to the temples today ..... ...

Somewhere in Camodia... is a secret underground store of the Oriental Trading Company ( a front for Mu Fanchu's tong..). The facility's location has been obtained from an informant - French troops approach via nearby river. 

---oXo---

A small OTC convoy enters the facility via a ruined temple down a ramp and into an underground warehouse ...

where they unload some cargo .... the lorries will be off out at some time to make delivery's elsewhere
Later in the day,  french infantry and sailors approach a small village nearby .....
and then towards the temples which mask the entrance to the storage facility ....
A local native on top of a temple spots them coming ....
One of the other natives outside runs down into the facility to warn the tong leader ...
The alarm is sounded, all available men will go out to keep the approaching troops at bay while some key equipment is loaded onto a lorry.....
The troops near the concealed entrances ....
The sailors are fired upon by some local natives...
Tong members come out to assist them ....
As the French infantry near the temples they too come under attack ...
More of the tong come out to join the fight ...
The sailors slowly move up under fire ...
and start to fire back.. ..they have the edge in the gun battle ...
The sailors rush forward to deal with the remaining tong ....
they secure the area .....
The French infantry find themselves in a hand-to-hand fight with natives and the tong ....

While French infantry are kept at bay,  a truck with key equipment emerges from the temple entrance 
The French infantry are starting to gain ground ....as the truck moves away ...
The French infantry break through and the remaining tong follow the truck down the jungle trail ...
Troops explore the deserted underground facility.....
