Reds Sweep On Position After Aerial Attack
In Teaguewan Korea on Sept 23 American planes and Communist guns killed or wounded more than 150 British troops. Napalm and machine-gun fire hit the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders after they called for air support, then two Argyll companies were overrun by advancing troops and long-range guns shelled British lines. U.S. marines pressed the Inchon-Seoul push as Koreans retreated, while Allied forces crossed the Naktong river and seized Changnyong and Waeegwan. An AP photographer witnessed the bombing and carried wounded beyond the Naktong while North Koreans opened fire on a litter column.
