North Korean forces launched a series of fierce counterattacks on Heartbreak Ridge as Allied troops clashed in a daylong battle on the east central front. Artillery and machinegun fire preceded charges of 20 to 30 attackers under a near full moon, with ground gains unclear. UN air power waned due to cold rain, while Fifth Air Force mounted 640 plus missions destroying or damaging rail cars to hinder Red supply lines. United Nations troops advanced slowly in rugged terrain, capturing two heights north of Yanggu and near the Punchbowl valley as Gen. James A. Van Fleet warned Red units are battle worn and being rushed back into service.
