ENEMY SITUATION
a. In the south, friendly units from Wonbung to Chindong were subjected
to sporadic attacks by elements of the 6th North Korean Division. An enemy
force probing 11 miles east of Chinju withdrew under friendly fire. Advancing
from Chungchon, elements of the 13th North Korean Regiment contacted friendly
troops 4 miles west of Chindong. Five miles northwest of Chindong small enemy
groups which attempted to infiltrate to the 27th U.S. Infantry Regiment's CP and
to positions of the 8th U.S. Field Artillery Battalion were intercepted. An un
determined number of enemy troops destroyed three ROK trucks in an area 4
miles north of Chindong, while 7 miles north of the town a ROK supply column
was ambushed. U.S. patrols encountered 8-900 enemy troops, supported by
armor, in dug-in positions 14 miles east of Chinju. 12 miles northeast of Chin-
ju, 20 enemy motorcycles mounting guns were observed. The enemy attempted
to reconstruct a bridge southeast of Uiryong. (FECOM) (SECRET)
b. West of Changnyong, the Naktong River line defended by the 24th In-
fantry Division was relatively quiet. U.S. patrols encountered small arms fire
11 miles east of Hyopchon and located a 4th North Korean Division's roadblock
eight miles east of that city. (FECOM) (SECRET)
C. In the Kumchon-Sangju-Songju - area, a reported 10,000 North Korean
troops are located in the hills east of Hwanggan. Approximately 20 tanks were
observed in camouflaged positions south of the city. Combined air strikes and
counterbattery fire accounted for 7 enemy artillery pieces 10 miles northwest
