Victory in the First Battle - the Volunteers Launched Their First Battle

After the "United Nations Army" was attacked, although it was discovered that volunteers had entered North Korea to participate in the war, they believed that China was sending troops symbolically, so they continued to advance northward after making slight adjustments. On October 31, the US 24th Division entered Taichon and Turtle City, and the 1st Cavalry Division was transferred from Pyongyang to the Unsan and Yongsan-dong areas; the British 27th Brigade moved to Dingzhou and Seoncheon; the main force of the South Korean Army's 1st Division was transferred to the Yongbyon area, the 8th Division was transferred to the Tianjing area, and the 7th Division was transferred eastward to the Tianchang and Tokchon areas; the US 2nd Division was transferred north to the Anju area as the Eighth Army reserve team. Although its troops north of the Qingchuan River increased to more than 50,000, they were still dispersed. At this time, the Volunteer Army headquarters was determined to adopt the tactics of detouring behind the enemy's flank, combined with frontal assaults, concentrating its forces, and annihilating the 8th, 7th, and 1st divisions of the Korean Army one by one, and then annihilating the American and British troops depending on the situation. According to unified deployment, all armies launched an attack at dusk on November 1. After fierce fighting, the campaign objective was basically achieved.
