ROKs Repel Two Assaults on Western Front Near Yonchon
In a driving rain near Little Nori Hill west of Yonchon the Republic of Korea First Division repelled two Communist assaults by about two battalions. The fighters halted the first attack after 33 minutes and the second after 13 minutes as heavy rains and fog hampered operations. Allied air activity faced cloud cover but hit trucks and rail targets in the western front area. Missouri bombarded Wonsan gasping under a 16 inch salvo, with official reports noting gun caves, batteries, and a 20,000-strong force guarding the coast town.
