Introduction

Without any artillery preparation to give away their intentions, the North Koreans struck the 1st Battalion of the 34th Regiment. Evidence of infiltration around the southern flank of the Taejon position had been either ignored or not reported, and the attack came as a complete surprise to Lt. Col. Ayres and his officers. NKPA troops were already within his perimeter by the time Ayres even knew he was under attack.

Conclusion

When North Korean troops entered the American positions, many American soldiers dropped their weapons and ran. When North Korean tanks were reported entering the perimeter, Ayres dispatched bazooka teams with the brand-new 3.5-inch rocket launcher – just arrived at Taejon via emergency airlift - to deal with them. The experts sent along with the new bazookas claimed they could penetrate the armor of any tank, but Ayres’ crews never tested this proposition - they ran away, too. At some point Ayres’ staff abandoned their radio jeep, which the North Koreans used to inform regimental headquarters that all was well in 1st Battalion’s sector.
