| Introduction |
|---|
|
Having captured the city of Kaesong, the 1st Cavalry Division continued its advance to the north and west. The 7th Cavalry Regiment moved westward to the Yesong River and seized a small bridgehead there. Kaesong and its environs, though part of modern North Korea, were on the South Korean side of the original partition. But the North had not yet given up, and the cavalrymen faced a nighttime counter attack by a division of coast defense troops and raw conscripts. |
| Conclusion |
|---|
|
Despite a lack of heavy weapons or artillery support, the regiment's 1st Battalion fought off repeated North Korean attacks during the night. The regiment's 2nd Battalion soon joined the 1st, and thanks to the inspired leadership of 2nd Battalion commander Lt. Col. Gilmon A. Huff the cavalrymen held their position and resumed their advance at dawn. The 38th Parallel had not yet been crossed, but that day swiftly approached. |

Korean War: Counter-Attack, scenario #59: Disagreement over a Bridge A quick night scenario with straight forward victory conditions; whoever controls the bridge hex at the end of the scenario wins. The American setup on both sides of the minor river, defending the bridge on hex 0606 on just about all adjacent hexes but not on the bridge itself or the adjacent river hexes. The North Koreans managed to occupy the bridge hex only briefly for two early turns by siding in on one of the adjacent river hexes but were soon blown out of it and their attacking forces lost all their strength even with the KOM’s assistance and the Americans won this scenario and dice favored them as well. |
