Annex B to OP Order 19-51

Enemy Situation fhe enemy has effected a major break through on the right

ot the lOth Corps and the left or the lst ROK Corps. The attack started at 2300 last night and the force or the attack 1s gaining momentum hourly.

There have been s1ght1ngs of large enemy groups of trucks, troops and pack trains. At the present time the enemy situation is very vague as we have very poor contact with the units that have been hit by the counterattack.

National Pollee have reported several enemy patrols in our area. They have all been or from 8 to 10 men and have been seek­ing information as to location or UN Forces.

b. Intelligence reports the enemy has several 82mm and l20mm mortars on the reverse slopes or Hill 547, TA1076, and an assembly area in TA1175. Artillery is believed to be locat­ed in TA1472H and TA1372I according to API reports.

2. EEl's

a. What is the location of the enemy flanks?

b. What reserves are capable or intervention?

c. What is the location of mortar and artillery positions?

d. Has the enemy received replacements, if eo how many?

3. Reconnaissance and Observation Mission

a. Baker Company to send two (2) squad patrols; one to erose the river to ascertain if the enemy is defending on the south side of river; the other to scout out the river for pos­sible tank and vehicular crossings.

b. Aerial photographs have been requested of enemy rear areas to attempt to locate enemy supply dumps, artillery posit­ions and assembly areas.

c. Aerial photographs have been requested for TA1175 to TA1275 to determine the amount of equipment, if any, in that area. Additional aerial photographs have been requested for TA0997 to TAll77.
