Red Chinese push toward Pyongyang in Korea war
Chinese forces surge south toward Pyongyang with a mass of troops in the area just 25 miles from the threatened capital. General MacArthur warns the North Korea conflict grows more critical as half a million Chinese troops join the offensive against United Nations forces. He says a state of undeclared war exists and outlines two quick objectives: pierce the Eighth Army flank and push toward the Sea of Japan to isolate U.S. and Korean units in the northeast. Refugees flood south as allied observers report 12 000 Chinese swarming near Pyongyang and city defenses tighten at all capital entrances.
