The <entity_3> was an engagement between United Nations Command (UN) and North Korean forces early in the <entity_6> from <entity_8> to <entity_4>, in the vicinity of the <entity_7> and the Naktong River in <entity_5>. The <entity_9> ended in a victory for the United Nations after large numbers of United States Army (US) troops were able to repel a <entity_2> (KPA) attack across the river. Positioned in defense of Masan during the Battle of Masan, the US 35th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division took up positions along the <entity_7>, one of the many tributaries of the Naktong River on the southern flank of the <entity_1>. From the outbreak of the <entity_6> and the invasion of <entity_5> by the North, the KPA had enjoyed superiority in both manpower and equipment over both the Republic of Korea Army (ROK) and the UN forces dispatched to <entity_5> to prevent it from collapsing. However, when the UN forces, under the <entity_0>, established the <entity_1> in August, the UN troops held a continuous line along the peninsula which KPA troops could not flank, and their advantages in numbers decreased daily as the superior UN logistical system brought in more troops and supplies to the UN forces. Fed by intelligence from the Soviet Union, the North Koreans were aware of the UN forces building up along the <entity_1> and that they must conduct an offensive soon or they could not win the <entity_9>. Covered by the 6th Division, the 7th had crossed to the north side of the <entity_7> by the morning of <entity_4>.
