1. Situation in Brief:
The U.S. I and IX Corps units which attacked northward early
on 22 January began withdrawing to the former main line of resistance
at mid-afternoon. The only significant engagement occurred 4 miles east
of Kumnyangjang where elements of the 1st U.S. Cavalry Division en-
countered 200 enemy. Meeting only light opposition, a battalion of the
2d U.S. Infantry Division again occupied Wonju and the high ground east
thereof on the afternoon of 22 January, but withdrew to positions 3 miles
south of the town for the night. The only other activity along the U.S. X
Corps front was an attack by a hostile company against elements of the
7th U.S. Infantry Division 4 miles west of Yongwol which was repulsed
after a 3-hour fight. In the rear area of this sector, elements of the 8th
ROK Division continued to engage 2 enemy battalions, 6 miles southwest
of Tanyang during 22 January. The enemy disengaged at dusk and moved
to the southeast, evading friendly troops. No activity was reported along
the ROK Army front. In the rear areas, elements of the 1st U.S. Marine
Division attacked 2, 000 North Korean troops 15 miles southeast of Andong,
killing an estimated 200. Task Force 77 sorties were not reported, but
