bastion on the central front.
Reds stubbornly resisted at
lacking United Nations troops in
almost every fighting sector.
Allies failed to take two hills on
the western front in day-long
battles.
Planes, tanks and infantrymen
battled fresh Chinese replace
ments deeply entrenched in the
last major ridge line south of
Kumsong. The Reds used heavy
mortar and artillery fire in an at
tempt to slow U. N. infantrymen
pushing northward in the seventh
day OF their central offensive.

Artillery supporting the Kum-

into the Communist road hub.
They concentrated on stores of
supplies left there by Reds who
appeared to have. deserted their
former stronghold.
Fiercest resistance was SOUTH
east of Kumsong. Air strikes, tank
fire and infantry assaults failed
to bulge Reds clinging to a sharp,
high peak overlooking a valley.
Entrenched Chinese on the
western front held two hills north
west OF Yonchon against day-long
Allied assaults. On one hill troops
fought at hand grenade range for
more than two hours before U. N.
infantrymen pulled back. A 10
hour assault was beaten of the
other hill.
Nearby Red screening forces dug
in on hills less than a mile from
a battle-scarred ridge line they
abruptly abandoned yesterday to
Allied troops after a two-week
fight.
The Reds probed U. N. positions
in the eastern mountains with a
