Yes, it was about a battalion of US infantry that was ordered to advance forward during an offensive. They were at the center of the allied advance and the only unit to take it's objective. Then they held out, outnumbered, for 3-5 days (can't remember).
The commanding officer and about three others all received the Medal of Honor and at least one of the soldiers received the DSC.
Incidently, the commanding officer was so traumatized it is said to have contributed to his suicide several years after the war.
