(SECRET)
b. The 1st and 3d North Korean Divisions which had spearheaded
the recent enemy advances against the 34th and 21st U.S. RCT's were re-
lieved by the 6th and 4th North Korean Divisions. The bulk of the 6th Div-
ision is in the vicinity of Chugwong where it can reconnoiter sites for possi-
ble crossings of the Kum River on the U.S. west flank and rear. The 4th
Division has taken over the front extending from about 3 miles north of
Kongju eastward to Yongi. (FECOM) (SECRET)
C. Elements of the 2d North Korean Division crossed the Pogang
River and succeeded in penetrating the 1st ROK defenses in the area south
of Toam. (FECOM) (SECRET)
d. The southward advance of the 15th North Korean Division along
the Chungju-Hamchang line gained sufficient momentum to permit the
seizure of Yonpung and, according to one report, to advance leading elements
to a road junction 3 miles southeast of Yonpung. The 6th ROK Division is
conducting a delaying action along this highway which traverses a key defile
in the mountain passes. (FECOM) (SECRET)
