2. Enemy Situation:
Company- and battalion=strength attacks west of Yonchon and north-
west of Chorwon and decreasing resistance to a UN attack southeast of
Kumsong high-lighted activity during the period. The enemy attacks in the
western sector forced some friendly outposts to withdraw to the MLR. Re-
sistance to the 6th ROK Division attack across the Pukhan River reached
regimental strength on 17 November, but resistance reportedly ceased in
that sector by the night of 18 November, Enemy mines and antitank fire
damaged four tanks from the 7th US Infantry Division north of Yanggu. A
battalion-strength attack forced ROK elements to withdraw from a high-
ground position south of Kosong on the night of 18-19 November, and action
is continuing. The adjusted total of vehicle sightings for 15-18 November
is 3, 425g of which 2, 376 were southbound. (FECOM) (SECRET)
3. United Nations Situation:
ARMY:
a. General; UN forces attacked northeastward across the
Pukhan River in the central sector on 16 November and advanced up to four
miles against resistance which was decreasing as the period closed. Other
UN forces repulsed numerous probing attacks across the front and continued
to patrol against light to moderate opposition. Friendly counterattacks re-
stored several outpost positions from which withdrawals had previously
been made. Elements of the Capitol ROK Division closed in an assembly
area 12 miles south of Kansong and reverted to ROK Army control effective
181030 (KT). (FECOM) (SECRET)
