Screaming Reds Fail To Blunt UN Forward Drive
In Eastern Korea over 1,000 Communist troops attacked UN forces along an 80 mile front but failed to halt the Allied advance. Fresh NKD divisions were deployed to fill gaps from heavy air strikes and artillery. Allied air and ground forces killed hundreds, with 12 officers among 472 dead in a ridge battle near Yangsu. Sabre jets destroyed a MIG-15 in a dogfight, and B-29s bombed a Taedong river bridge to slow reinforcements. The offensive resumed with Allied infantry fighting bunkers and trenches at dawn, advancing up to four miles on day one.
