Trapped U S Cavalry Division Surrounded in Korea
Seoul reports a fierce nightlong battle as nearly 5,000 U S foot troopers of the first cavalry division were isolated four miles southwest of Unsan by overwhelming Communist forces. Chinese Red troops, as many as 3,000, joined the assault, turning captured American guns on their retreating comrades. Some Americans escaped, but the regiment was decimated and many may not return. The drive also forced four South Korean divisions back in the area as Reds aimed to hold a bridgehead and protect power dams on the Yalu border.
