From Nakdong River to Yalu River 22-2-2 The situation in Pohang (215)
adminin KWH Korean War History • 9 hours ago
<On the eastern front, the 1st and 3rd Divisions were preventing the most decisive attacks from North Korea (the 5th and 12th divisions). The 4th Division of the North Korean Army was striking the 1st ROK Army with more than it did in the Battle of Youngsan. What is the reason that the damages of the 1st Corps and the Korean army at that time were much greater than that of the US military? The U.S. military received firepower and aircraft support, but the ROK military did not receive such support properly, and did it only save them with the lives of combatants? At that time, it is necessary to examine the degree of damage to the Korean military.>
