2. Enemy Situation:
Enemy activity continued heaviest near the Imjin River in the west-
ern sector, where hostile groups of up to company size probed 1st ROK
Division outpost positions on each day of the period. Mortar and artillery
fire was moderate to heavy in this sector. Another center of activity was
the Pukhan River area, where enemy groups of up to company size probed
ROK positions and stubbornly resisted ROK patrols. Propaganda broadcasts
continued in the east-central sector, along the front of X US corps, and
propaganda leaflets were received in this same area. Three civilians, cap->
tured near Kumsong on 11 May, reportedly stated: "CCF and NKPA will
launch "Sixth Phase Offensive if peace talks fail". On 13 May, FEAF ob-
served approximately 200 square miles of grey smoke in the area 15 to 20
miles north of Pyonggang. A total of 21, 982 rounds of enemy mortar and
artillery fire fell on UN positions during the week 8-15 May. This compares
with a total of 19, 163 rounds for the previous week. The adjusted total of
enemy vehicle sightings for 11-14 May is 6, 826, of which 4, 430 were south-
bound. (FECOM) (SECRET)
