25th Division Drives Back Chinese in Korea Front Battle
The 25th Infantry Division in Korea pressed north of the Han River to seize 80 square miles from Chinese forces. Led by Lt Col Richard W. Keyes, the operation began with a massive artillery and tank barrage, then 148 artillery pieces and 100 tanks supported ten-mile fronts. Troops moved in via small assault boats, fighting through dikes and hills as Medics tended the wounded and survivors captured enemy positions, with a coordinated push by the 27th Regiment along with the 35th and the 24th Negro regiment, forcing a Chinese retreat.
