September which was repulsed by elements of the 23d and 38th U. S. RCTs,
assisted by tactical air support; the enemy renewed the attack later in
the morning and fighting continues as enemy strength in this bridgehead

1st U. S. Cavalry Division, which was forced to withdraw slightly before
beating off the attackers. Elements holding the left flank of the 1st ROK
Division repulsed repeated enemy attacks north of Taegu. The enemy is
reported to be disorganized in the area southeast of Yongchon where
friendly forces have made considerable gains. In the Kyongju-Angang area,
fighting seesawed without much change of position. Enemy penetrations
south of Yonil were attacked early on 11 September. (FECOM) (SECRET)
