Another silly question...

There is a friendly unit inside a pillbox and there is a CC outside the pillbox between a friendly one and two enemys. As I read B30.6 the enemys cannot attack the unit inside the pillbox.

Can the unit inside the pillbox attack the enemy in meele outside the pillbox?

If the answer is yes, what happens If the friend outside the pillbox can resort to HtH?

Thx in advance

B30.6 SAME HEX:
Same-level units inside and outside a pillbox in the same hex are ADJACENT [EXC: they cannot form a FG with each other; A7.5]. A unit inside a pillbox may not move / rout / Withdraw-from-CC out of the pillbox if there is an enemy ground unit [EXC: Disrupted; subterranean; Unarmed; unarmored vehicle with no PRC] in the same hex; it can only advance out of the pillbox and must halt in the pillbox hex [EXC: MPh/RtPh exit via a tunnel; 8.61-.62]. CC is resolved in the normal manner between Infantry units in and outside of a pillbox [EXC: Hand-to-Hand CC is NA; no Melee results (30.1; A11.15)]. CC is NA between a vehicle(s)/PRC and a unit(s) in a pillbox. A unit in a pillbox cannot be attacked (nor attack) in CC if there is any friendly ground unit(s) [EXC: Disrupted; subterranean; Unarmed; unarmored vehicle with no PRC] in the hex outside the pillbox.
