Mystery filled lull continues on Korean front
In western Korea near Suwon Chinese and Korean Communist troops massed while a three day lull persisted with no heavy ground fighting. United Nations air power hit at least 11 targets as Red forces moved toward Suwon from multiple directions. American tanks retook Suwon briefly, killing an estimated 500 Reds, and reports said Suwon was nearly deserted at dawn. Further east and in the Sobaek range, enemy units regrouped as UN forces withdrew from Wonju. Allied air forces pushed shadows on the front with B 29s dropping tons of bombs on Kaesong Chongju Pyongyang and other targets while B 26s and F 80s targeted supply lines and airfields.
