Thunderjets returned safely to

north of Parallel 38 except at one
point in the center. Their main
problem was consolidating the
gains won with no opposition
other than the traps.
Almost all across the front the
hills had been cleared of Red
Chinese and North Koreans.
The only hard fighting was in

Stubborn Reds were dug in both
places.
Before suddenly pulling back to
the high ground north of the

Sowed trails and roads with mines.
Their fade back was in the face

hills on the Hanggye-Inje road
for slight advances.

quarters claimed only 800 Com

U. N. troops were inside North
Korea all the way from the Imjin
