2. Enemy Situation:
Resistance continued light except in the Chunchon sector.
A
four mile trench system 15 miles north of Uijongbu suggests ambush pre-
parations. Enemy aircraft equipped with loudspeaker attempted to induce
surrender of 24th and 1st Cavalry Division troops. Enemy build-up ob-
served north of Chunchon. Anti-tank mines slow down 1st Marine Divi-
sion. (FECOM) (SECRET)

Infantry Division patrol ranged to the 38th Parallel in the vicinity of Pup-
yong without significant contact. Five tanks disabled by enemy AT mines
in the 1st Marine Division sector. ROK units on east coast are now 1 mile
north of Yangyang. (FECOM(SECRET)
b. I U.S. Corps: 1st ROK Division: No significant enemy con-
tact reported as ROK units maintained and slightly adjusted positions. 3d
U.S. Infantry Division: The 65th U.S. Infantry Regiment advanced 2 miles
without enemy contact while the 15th U.S. Infantry Regiment remained in
place with elements relieving left flank elements of the 187th Airborne
RCT. The 187th Airborne RCT attacked against light resistance to posi-
tions astride the Uijongbu-Sochon highway 7 miles south of Sochon. The
7th U.S. Infantry Regiment moved to blocking positions 6 miles north of
Uijongbu. Air observed a trench system 4 miles long extending south
from Sochon immediately least of the highway. The location of the entrench-
ments in respect to terrain features strongly suggest that the enemy is
setting up an ambush. 25th U.S. Infantry Division: The 24th and 35th U.S.
