2. Enemy Situation:
Resistance continued very strong west of Chorwon where several bat-
talion-strength counterattacks were made upon UN positions. Activity in-
creased in the central sector from Kumhwa east to the Pukhan River, where
numerous company- and platoon-strength probing attacks were made. Nearly
500 rounds of mortar and artillery fire fell on UN positions in the east-central
sector. Near the east coast, ROK forces received six platoon- and company-
strength probing attacks. Air sighted 46-48 enemy tanks at the following
location: Nine miles west of Kumchon - 2; nine miles NE Sibyon - 28; 13
miles NE Sibyon - an undetermined number; 11 miles north Sibyon - 2; 11
miles SE Sibyon - 10-12; three miles NW Hoeyong - 4. The adjusted total
of vehicle sightings for 3-4 October is 3, 713, of which 2, 347 were moving
south. (FECOM) (SECRET)
3. United Nations Situation:
ARMY:
a. General: UN forces continued to attack in the western sector
and made gains of nearly two miles west of Yonchon, with lesser advances
west of Chorwon against heavy resistance. Several strong enemy counterat-
tacks were repulsed in this area, but slight friendly withdrawals were made
at two points. Numerous enemy probing attacks were repulsed in other sec-
tors of the front, and UN forces continued to probe enemy defensive positions.
