On Nov. 27, main forces of the 38th
army threatened our 2d Division, after smashing the
Turk brigade guarding the flank. Nov. 28, its 113th
Division marched 45 miles in 14 hours cutting off
the UN withdrawal route south to Sunchon. After
occupying Nyunweng, the 42nd Corps crossed over
mountain ranges to get behind the overextended UN
forces. Fixing a front, encircling the defenders,
assaultin unprepared positions from the rear, the
idea behind strong guerilla warfare, practiced by
well-led, resolute veteran foot soldiers. A
textbook, one we had yet to study.
