supported by tanks, forcing the Cavalry units to withdraw some two miles
to the main line of resistance. Northwest of Kumhwa, a UN patrol base
was reportedly cut-off by an estimated enemy battalion. Shell fragments
were recovered at a point 14 miles north of Hwachon and tentatively
identified as being from Soviet 132-mm. rockets. Numerous attacks and
counterattacks were made against UN forces on the north edge of the
"Punchbowl" area, northeast of Yanggu. A total of 33 enemy attacks
were made across the entire Eighth Army front during the period. There
was no report of enemy vehicle sightings. (FECOM) (SECRET)

a. General; Friendly units continued to attack and made
slight gains in the high-ground area northeast of Yanggu and held posi-
tions in that vicinity against stubborn enemy resistance. Hostile probing
attacks were repulsed in other sectors and UN groups continued aggres-
sive patrolling. (FECOM) (SECRET)
