GROUND
The entire Eighth Army continued to advance rapidly, encountering
no major enemy resistance. Troops from the 1st U.S. Cavalry Division and
elements of the 7th U.S. Infantry Division met in the Osan area late 26
September. Uiryong, Anui and Samga have been taken, and the enemy is
reported fleeing to the northwest from the Kochang-Anui area in small
disorganized groups. U.S. troops captured Yongdong. On the east coast,
ROK units have reached Ulchin. Street fighting continues in northern
Seoul, and 400 U.N. Prisoners of War were liberated on 26 September. (FECOM)

NAVY
Enemy defense works at Tungsan were bombarded by the MANCHESTER,
escorting destroyers, and naval planes. Carrier-based aircraft continued
to wreak havoc on enemy transportation facilities, and to support ground
forces in the Seoul area. On 26 September, Naval air flew a total of 420
sorties. (COMNAVFE) (SECRET)
AIR
On 26 September, FEAF aircraft flew 604 sorties including 338 combat.
At least 1,235 enemy dead are reported as a result of attacks by the 5th Air
Force. B-29's attacked a hydro-electric plant, an ammunition storage area,
and military staging areas. On 27 September, only 20 B-29's attacked inter-
diction targets in east-central Korea, as rain and low ceilings are hampering
normal operations. (FEAF) (SECRET)
