From 2100/08 (Korea) to 2100/09 (Korea)
1. Weather:
Widespread fog persisted over the low land area throughout the
night, morning and early afternoon, with a few scattered low clouds over
the mountain areas. Visibility was 10 miles except in fog. Maximum
battle area temperature 70 degrees, minimum 50. Forecast: Widespread
patches of fog over the low land area throughout the morning with visibil-
ity less than one mile until 1000 hours, improving to over 8 miles after
noon. Clouds at 14,000 to 18, 000 increasing during afternoon to 8/10
coverage by 2000 hours. (FEAF) (SECRET)
2. Enemy Situation:
Resistance continued heavy in the western sector, west of Chorwon,
and increased in the east-central sector, north of Yanggu, where well-
entrenched groups, employing heavy mortar and artillery fire, stubbornly
opposed UN advances. Several strong counterattacks north of Yanggu
forced some UN units to withdraw. Tanks or SP guns were heard moving
behind enemy lines eleven miles west of Chorwon, and thirty white flares
were observed seven miles northwest of Kumhwa during the night. The
adjusted total of vehicle sightings for 7-8 October is 2, 166, of which
1, 632 were moving south. (FECOM) (SECRET)
3. United Nations Situation:
ARMY:
a. General: UN forces attacking west of Chorwon made gains
up to a thousand yards in heavy fighting, but other UN attacking forces,
north of Yanggu in the east-central sector, made only slight gains against
very stubborn enemy resistance and several strong counterattacks with
mortar and artillery fire. Elsewhere, patrols continued to probe enemy
positions across the front, and several small hostile probing attacks were
repulsed. (FECOM) (SECRET)
