U.S. Eighth Army Headquar
ters, Korea I/P) — A thin line of
dog-tired American infantrymen
today edged toward the top of
the last Red-held peak on crag
gy Heartbreak Ridge in eastern
Korea.
Last reports put them within
200 yards of the summit. Com
munist grenades and machine
gun fire poured down from Red
bunkers above as tne troops of
the U.S. Second Division's 23rd
Regiment fought forward fooi
by foot and bunker by bunker.
Across the Mundung Valley
to the west the Ninth Regiment
of the Second Division fought
fiercely-resisting North Koreans
for possession of Kim II Sung
Ridge, named by the Reds for
the North Korean premier. A
pooled dispatch from the front
said the doughboys took several
small hills. Their progress
toward the ridge itself was
slowed by Communist artillery
and small arms fire.
Between Kim and Heartbreak,
infantrymen of the 38th Regi
ment, also of the Second Divi
sion, slashed northward and cap
tured a small hill. Tanks at
tached to the regiment moved
into the valley and pounded Red
positions on Kim.
Other Allied tanks roared into
Satae east of Heartbieuk fur the
third straight day. They opened
point-blank fire on the Rtds but
received heavy artillery fire in
return. i
Across the war torn peninsula
on the western front British and
American infantrymen ground
slowly forward on both sides of
the upper Imjin River against
bitterly resisting Reds.
There was little but patrol
action on the west-central front.
The Allied advance Sunday
was made behind one of the
heaviest artillery barrages of the
war. A pooled dispatch said the
U.N.'s big guns fired 20,633
rounds in 12 hours.
Fighter-bombers relentlessly
pounded Red road and rail fa
cilities.
U.N. pilots said they cut rail
lines in more than 60 places in
western and northwestern Ko
rea. In pre-dawn attacks on the
east coast, Fifth Air Force pilots
said they spotted 1.800 Red ve
hicles and destroyed at least
125. Two trains were attacked
but results were not observed.
