1. Situation in Brief:
GROUND
The Eighth Army on all fronts advanced without major enemy
opposition. In the 25th U.S. Infantry Division zone, the 24th U.S. RCT
made a sweep of 20 miles to 9 miles north of Kurye, while other elements
of the Division advanced 14 miles northwest of Chinju. Elements of the
2d U.S. Infantry Division captured Koryong, while the 38th U.S. RCT mov-
ing northwest of Anui seized Tochon, As elements of the 1st U.S. Cavalry
Division mopped up in the Tuksong area, elements of the 7th U.S. Cavalry
RCT advanced northeast of Ansong. The 1st ROK Division advanced to
6 miles west of Chongju. The 6th ROK Division reached Mungyong; the
8th ROK Division encountered an enemy battalion 5 miles northwest of
Punggi; the ROK Capitol Division moved to Yongwol; and the 3d ROK Divi-
sion advanced to 7 miles north of Ulchin. U.S. flags were raised over the
Korean Government House and the U.S. Consulate in Seoul, as U.N. forces
continued to mop up enemy forces in the northern and northeastern suburbs
of the city. (FECOM)(SECRET)
NAVY
Naval ships continued patrolling all Korean waters, but no targets
for gunfire support were assigned, nor any enemy activity observed. Naval
aircraft struck transportation facilities in the Seoul area, and flew close
support missions. (COMNAVFE) (SECRET)
AIR
On 27 September, FEAF aircraft flew a total of 407 sorties, in-
cluding 185 combat. Adverse weather and the dwindling number of targets
resulted in the Fifth Air Force flying about half the usual number of close
support sorties, On 28 September, FEAF Bomber Command dispatched
56 B-29's to attack marshaling yards, bridges, and rail lines. (FEAF)
