Forecast: Fair except for occasionalbbroken to overcast low clouds in southern and western coastal areas in early morning of 12 July. (SECRET) 2. Soviet participation: Negative. 3. Operations: ENEMY SITUATION *a. The southward advance of the enemy forces to Chonui was reported stopped 8 miles northwest of Chochiwon by elements of the 21st U.S. RCT in positions along the south bank of the Miho River, a tributary of the Kum. The remainder of the front in the Chonan-Chinchon area was relatively stable. The enemy continues to build up concentrations of troops and armaments in this area, with the most probable objective of strengthen- ing the 2d and 3d Divisions for a drive to outflank Chochiwon and ultimately Taejon. (FECOM) (SECRET) *b. The retaking of Chungju by the enemy is reported and, ele- ments of the 15th North Korean division located near Umsong are moving toward Chungju. (FECOM) (SECRET) *C. The enemy is attacking the 8th ROK Division south of the Han River near Sin. *d. Whereas it is believed that the Chonan-Chinchon concentrations (a. above) may constitute the western thrust of a southward movement, enemy activity in the Umsong-Chungju area seems to indicate the formation of an eastern force for the same movement.
