3. Enemy Situation
a. North Korean forces in the Chinju area are in retreat and abandoning
their equipment and supplies. Only light resistance was offered attacking
U.S. forces. Scattered enemy elements have been left throughout the area
from the front lines to Chindong. North Korean troops are withdrawing to
and organizing positions on the high ground to the least of Chinju. (FECOM)
(SECRET)
b. Enemy forces in the vicinity of the bridgehead on the Naktong River
nine miles due west of Yongsan are under attack by friendly forces. There
are indications of a possible enemy withdrawal at this point. (FECOM) (SECRET)
C. An estimated company sized enemy bridgehead established on the
Naktong southeast of Waegwan has been placed under attack by friendly forces.
The enemy bridgehead on the Naktong River five miles north of Waegwan is
believed to have been wiped out. Small enemy forces to the east of the Naktong
North of Waegwan have attempted to withdraw under heavy ROK fire. North
Korean artillery fired on its own elements in an attempt to stop their with-
drawal. Enemy forces to the east of the river reportedly were ordered to hold
occupied high ground at all costs as a North Korean general attack along the
river had been planned for the night of 9-10 August. The 1st Cavalry Division
reports, however, only 150 enemy troops east of the river and under attack,
with no indications of an attempt to reinforce their bridgehead. A pilot reports
that a troop concentration and artillery pieces were observed in the area about
three miles north of Songju. (FECOM) (SECRET)
