The <entity_0> was an engagement between United Nations Command (UN) and North Korean forces early in the <entity_3> from <entity_2>–5, <entity_6>, at <entity_4> in <entity_1>. From the outbreak of the <entity_3> and the invasion of <entity_1> 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_1> to prevent it from collapsing. On the morning of <entity_2> the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the KPA 9th Division, in their first offensive of the war, stood only a few miles short of <entity_4> after a successful river crossing and penetration of the US line. Elements of the 9th Division reached the hills just west of <entity_4> during the afternoon of <entity_2>. On the morning of <entity_2>, with only the shattered remnants of E Company at hand, the US 9th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division had virtually no troops to defend <entity_4>. Tanks of A and B Companies, 72nd Tank Battalion, at the southern and eastern edge of <entity_4> shared equally with the engineers in the intensity of this <entity_5>. While this <entity_5> raged during the morning at <entity_4>, commanders reorganized about 800 men of the 9th Infantry who had arrived in that vicinity from the overrun river line positions.
