Allies Use Bayonets To Gain Ground
Allied troops on the west-central front in Korea captured high ground northwest of Kumhwa after a long hand-to-hand battle. An Allied officer called it one of the hardest fought battles on the front since the Han crossing. The action lasted ten hours with bayonets ultimately breaking strong Communist positions on the slopes. On other sectors, heavy artillery and mortar fire slowed UN advances, while Reds defended peaks near Yanggu and Inje amid occasional rain squalls. An Allied tank probe near Yanggu faced heavy fire and crude Communist roadblocks. Seoul experienced a brief blackout during a 1 minute alert amid rumors of a large Red air offensive, and reports from Hong Kong claimed Chinese militia movements toward Korea.
