Английская Википедия:Battle of Chosin Reservoir

The Battle of Chosin Reservoir, also known as the Chosin Reservoir Campaign or the Battle of Lake Changjin (Шаблон:Korean), was an important battle in the Korean War.Шаблон:Efn The name "Chosin" is derived from the Japanese pronunciation "ChōshinШаблон:-", instead of the Korean pronunciation.^[1]Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Efn

The battle took place in the harsh winter, about a month after the People's Republic of China entered the conflict and sent the People's Volunteer Army (PVA) 9th ArmyШаблон:Efn to infiltrate the northeastern part of North Korea. On 27 November 1950, the Chinese force surprised the US X Corps commanded by Major General Edward Almond in the Chosin Reservoir area. A brutal 17-day battle in freezing weather soon followed. Between 27 November and 13 December, 30,000Шаблон:Sfn United Nations Command troops (later nicknamed "The Chosin Few") under the field command of Major General Oliver P. Smith were encircled and attacked by about 120,000Шаблон:Sfn Chinese troops under the command of Song Shilun, who had been ordered by Mao Zedong to destroy the UN forces. The UN forces were nevertheless able to break out of the encirclement and withdraw to the port of Hungnam. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, especially the Chinese, with both battle casualties and non-battle casualties caused by the frigid weather. The withdrawal of the US Eighth Army from northwest Korea in the aftermath of the Battle of the Ch'ongch'on River and the evacuation of the X Corps from the port of Hungnam in northeast Korea marked the complete withdrawal of UN troops from North Korea.

Background

By mid-October 1950, after the successful landing at Inchon by the US X Corps, the Eighth Army breakout from the Pusan Perimeter and the subsequent pursuit and destruction of the Korean People's Army (KPA), the Korean War appeared to be all but over.Шаблон:Sfn United Nations (UN) forces advanced rapidly into North Korea with the intention of reuniting North and South Korea before the end of 1950.Шаблон:Sfn North Korea is divided through the center by the impassable Taebaek Mountains, which separated the UN forces into two groups.Шаблон:Sfn The US Eighth Army advanced north through the western coast of the Korean Peninsula, while the Republic of Korea (ROK) I Corps and the US X Corps advanced north on the eastern coast.Шаблон:Sfn

At the same time the People's Republic of China entered the conflict after issuing several warnings to the United Nations.Шаблон:Sfn On 19 October 1950, large formations of Chinese troops, dubbed the People's Volunteer Army (PVA), secretly crossed the border and into North Korea.Шаблон:Sfn One of the first Chinese units to reach the Chosin Reservoir area was the PVA 42nd Corps, which was tasked with stopping the eastern UN advances.Шаблон:Sfn On 25 October, the advancing ROK I Corps made contact with the Chinese and halted at Funchilin Pass (Шаблон:Coord), south of the Chosin Reservoir.Шаблон:Sfn After the landing at Wonsan, the US 1st Marine Division of the X Corps engaged the defending PVA 124th Division on 2 November; the ensuing battle caused heavy casualties among the Chinese.Шаблон:Sfn On 6 November, the PVA 42nd Corps ordered a retreat to the north with the intention of luring the UN forces into the Chosin Reservoir.Шаблон:Sfn By 24 November, the 1st Marine Division occupied both Sinhung-ni Шаблон:Efn (Шаблон:Coord) on the eastern side of the reservoir and Yudami-ni (Шаблон:Coord) on the west side.Шаблон:Sfn

Faced with the sudden attacks by Chinese forces in the Eighth Army sector, General Douglas MacArthur ordered the Eighth Army to launch the Home-by-Christmas Offensive.Шаблон:Sfn To support the offensive, MacArthur ordered the X Corps to attack west from the Chosin Reservoir and to cut the vital Manpojin—Kanggye—Huichon supply line.^[2]Шаблон:Sfn In response, Major General Edward M. Almond, commander of the US X Corps, formulated a plan on 21 November. It called for the US 1st Marine Division to advance west through Yudami-ni, while the US 7th Infantry Division would provide a regimental combat team to protect the right flank at Sinhung-ni. The US 3rd Infantry Division would also protect the left flank, while providing security in the rear area.Шаблон:Sfn By then the X Corps was stretched thin along a 400-mile front.Шаблон:Sfn

Surprised by the Marine landing at Wonsan,Шаблон:Sfn Chinese Communist Party chairman Mao Zedong called for the immediate destruction of the ROK Capital Division, ROK 3rd Infantry Division, US 1st Marine Division, and US 7th Infantry Division in a telegram to CommanderШаблон:Efn Song Shilun of the PVA 9th Army on 31 October.Шаблон:Sfn Under Mao's urgent orders, the 9th Army was rushed into North Korea on 10 November.Шаблон:Sfn Undetected by UN intelligence,Шаблон:Sfn it entered the Chosin Reservoir area on 17 November, with the 20th Corps of the 9th Army relieving the 42nd Corps near Yudami-ni.Шаблон:Sfn

Prelude

Location, terrain and weather

Chosin Reservoir is a man-made lake located in the northeast of the Korean peninsula.Шаблон:Sfn The name Chosin is the Japanese pronunciation of the Korean place name Changjin, and the name stuck due to the outdated Japanese maps used by UN forces.Шаблон:Sfn The battle's main focus was around the Шаблон:Convert road that connects Hungnam and Chosin Reservoir,Шаблон:Sfn which served as the only retreat route for the UN forces.Шаблон:Sfn Through these roads, Yudami-ni and Sinhung-ni,Шаблон:Efn located at the west and east side of the reservoir respectively, are connected at Hagaru-ri (now Changjin-ŭp) (Шаблон:Coord). From there, the road passes through Koto-ri (Шаблон:Coord) and eventually leads to the port of Hungnam.Шаблон:Sfn The area around the Chosin Reservoir was sparsely populated.Шаблон:Sfn

The battle was fought over some of the roughest terrain during some of the harshest winter weather conditions of the Korean War.Шаблон:Sfn The road was created by cutting through the hilly terrain of Korea, with steep climbs and drops. Dominant peaks, such as the Funchilin Pass and the Toktong Pass (Шаблон:Coord), overlook the entire length of the road. The road's quality was poor, and in some places it was reduced to a one-lane gravel trail.Шаблон:Sfn On 14 November 1950, a cold front from Siberia descended over the Chosin Reservoir, and the temperature plunged, according to estimates, to as low as Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn The cold weather created considerable danger of frostbite casualties and was accompanied by frozen ground, icy roads, and weapon malfunctions. Medical supplies froze; morphine syrettes had to be defrosted in a medic's mouth before they could be injected; blood plasma was frozen and useless on the battlefield. Even cutting off clothing to deal with a wound risked gangrene and frostbite. Batteries used for the Jeeps and radios did not function properly in the temperature and quickly ran down.Шаблон:Sfn The lubrication in the guns gelled and rendered them useless in battle. Likewise, the springs on the firing pins would not strike hard enough to fire the round, or would jam.Шаблон:Sfn

Although the 1st Marine Division landed at Wonsan as part of Almond's US X Corps, Almond and Major General Oliver P. Smith of the 1st Marine Division shared a mutual loathing of each other that dated back to a meeting before the landing at Inchon,Шаблон:Sfn when Almond had spoken of how easy amphibious landings are even though he had never been involved in one.Шаблон:Sfn Smith believed there were large numbers of Chinese forces in North Korea despite the fact that higher headquarters in Tokyo said otherwise,Шаблон:Sfn but Almond felt Smith was overly cautious.Шаблон:Sfn The mutual distrust between the commanders caused Smith to slow the 1st Marine Division's advance towards the Chosin Reservoir in violation of Almond's instructions.Шаблон:Sfn Smith established supply points and airfields along the way at Hagaru-ri and Koto-ri.Шаблон:Sfn

As the US X Corps was pushing towards the reservoir, the Chinese formulated their strategy, based on their experiences in the Chinese Civil War.Шаблон:Sfn Working from the assumption that only a light UN presence would be at the reservoir, the Chinese 9th Army was first to destroy the UN garrisons at Yudami-ni and Sinhung-ni, then push towards Hagaru-ri.Шаблон:Sfn Believing the bulk of the US X Corps would move to rescue the destroyed units, the 9th Army would then block and trap the main UN forces on the road between Hagaru-ri and Hungnam.Шаблон:Sfn The 9th Army initially committed eightШаблон:Sfn divisions for the battle,Шаблон:Sfn with most of the forces concentrated at Yudami-ni and Sinhung-ni.Шаблон:Sfn

The flaw in the Chinese plan was a lack of accurate intelligence about the UN forces.Шаблон:Sfn Even though the US X Corps was stretched thin over northeast Korea, the slow Marine advance allowed the bulk of the US 1st Marine Division, including the 5th, 7th and 11th Marines, to be concentrated at Yudami-ni.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Furthermore, the strategically important Hagaru-ri, where a C-47-capable airfield was under construction and a supply dump,Шаблон:Sfn was not a priority for the Chinese despite being lightly defended by the 1st and 7th Marines.Шаблон:Sfn Only Regimental Combat Team 31 (RCT-31), an understrength and hastily formed regimental combat team of the US 7th Infantry Division, was thinly spread along the eastern bank of the reservoir.Шаблон:Sfn Those units would later take the brunt of the Chinese assaults. As for the UN forces, the 1st Marine Division had an effective strength of 25,473 men at the start of the battle,Шаблон:Sfn and it was further reinforced by the British Royal Marines unit 41 (Independent) Commando and the equivalent of two regiments from the 3rd and 7th Army Infantry Divisions.Шаблон:Sfn The UN forces had a combined strength of about 30,000 men during the course of the battle.Шаблон:Sfn The UN forces at Chosin were also supported by one of the greatest concentrations of air power during the Korean War,Шаблон:Sfn since the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing stationed at Yonpo Airfield and five aircraft carriers from the US Navy's Task Force 77 were able to launch 230 sorties daily to provide close air support during the battle,Шаблон:Sfn while the US Air Force Far East Combat Cargo Command in Japan reached the capacity of airdropping 250 tons of supplies per day to resupply the trapped UN forces.Шаблон:Sfn

Although the 9th Army was one of China's elite formations, composed of veterans and former POWs from the Huaihai Campaign,Шаблон:Sfn several deficiencies hampered its ability during the battle. Initially the 9th Army was intended to be outfitted in Manchuria during November, but Mao suddenly ordered it into Korea before that could happen.Шаблон:Sfn As a result, the 9th Army had almost no winter clothing for the harsh Korean winter.Шаблон:Sfn Similarly, poor logistics forced the 9th Army to abandon heavy artillery,Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn while working with little food and ammunition.Шаблон:Sfn The food shortage forced the 9th Army to initially station a third of its strength away from the Chosin Reservoir in reserve,Шаблон:Sfn and starvation and exposure weakened the Chinese units, since foraging was not an option in the sparsely populated area.Шаблон:Sfn By the end of the battle, more Chinese troops had died from the cold than from combat and air raids.Шаблон:Sfn

Chinese strength is usually estimated at 120,000 troops for the battle.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Before arriving in Korea, the 9th Army was also reinforced. Each of its three corps had four divisions instead of the regular three; thus it had 12 divisions, with 10,000 men per division.Шаблон:Sfn Infantry from two formerly "liberated" (surrendered) Nationalist divisions were absorbedШаблон:Sfn to bring each infantry company up to strength. Some companies had approximately 150 men,Шаблон:Sfn while others were reinforced with more than 200 men.Шаблон:Sfn However, attrition due to UN air raids, poor logistics and cold weather had also taken a toll on the way to the battlefield. On the day 9th Army entered Korea, for example, frostbite inflicted 700 casualties, while most of its transport vehicles were destroyed by UN air raids.Шаблон:Sfn Indeed, during the course of the battle, Chinese prisoners of war reported that most of the 9th Army's divisions had become under strength, numbering about 6,500 to 7,000 men per division.Шаблон:Sfn These factors, plus uncertainties over the Chinese order of battle in Western sources,Шаблон:Efn led some historians to revise Chinese numbers down to as low as 60,000 during the course of battle.Шаблон:Sfn

Eventually, all 12 Chinese divisions of the 9th Army were deployed, although the 78th and the 88th Divisions of the PVA 26th Corps did not make contact with UN forces during the course of the battle.Шаблон:Sfn Eight divisions of the PVA 20th and 27th Corps served as the main attacking force.Шаблон:Sfn Four divisions of the PVA 26th Corps initially were held back in reserve, and deployed after 20th and 27th Corps had exhausted all their available strength.Шаблон:Sfn

On the night of 27 November, the PVA 20th and 27th Corps of the 9th Army launched multiple attacks and ambushes along the road between the Chosin Reservoir and Kot'o-ri. At Yudam-ni, the 5th, 7th and 11th Marines were surrounded and attacked by the PVA 79th and 89th Divisions, with the 59th Division attacking the road between Yudam-ni and Hagaru-ri to cut off communication. Similarly, RCT-31 was isolated and ambushed at Sinhung-ni by the PVA 80th and 81st Divisions. At Hagaru-ri, the 1st Marine Division command headquarters was targeted by the PVA 58th Division. Finally, the PVA 60th Division surrounded elements of the 1st Marines at Kot'o-ri from the north.Шаблон:Sfn Caught by complete surprise, the UN forces were cut off at Yudam-ni, Sinhung-ni, Hagaru-ri and Kot'o-ri by 28 November.Шаблон:Sfn

Acting on Almond's order, Smith ordered the 5th Marines to attack west toward Mupyong-ni on 27 November.Шаблон:Sfn The attack was soon stalled by the PVA 89th Division and forced the Marines to dig in on the ridges surrounding Yudam-ni.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn As night came, three Chinese regiments of the 79th Division attacked the ridges on the north and northwest of Yudam-ni, hoping to annihilate the garrison in one stroke.Шаблон:Sfn Close quarters fighting soon developed as the attackers infiltrated Marine positions,Шаблон:Sfn but the 5th and 7th Marines held the line while inflicting heavy casualties on the Chinese.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn As day broke on 28 November, the Chinese and Americans were locked in a stalemate around the Yudam-ni perimeter.Шаблон:Sfn

While the battle was underway at Yudam-ni, the PVA 59th Division blocked the road between Yudam-ni and Hagaru-ri by attacking the defending Charlie and Fox Companies of the 7th Marines.Шаблон:Sfn The successful assault forced Charlie Company to retreat into Yudam-ni, which left Fox Company, commanded by Captain William E. Barber, isolated on a hill overlooking the Toktong Pass, a vital pass that controlled the road.Шаблон:Sfn On 29 November, several efforts by the 7th Marines failed to rescue Fox Company, despite inflicting heavy casualties on the Chinese.Шаблон:Sfn Aided by artillery from Hagaru-ri and Marine Corsair fighters, Fox Company managed to hold out for five days while enduring constant attacks by the PVA 59th Division.Шаблон:Sfn

After the heavy losses suffered by the PVA 79th Division at Yudam-ni, 9th Army headquarters realized that the bulk of the 1st Marine Division was stationed at Yudam-ni, with a garrison strength double the initial estimate.Шаблон:Sfn Believing that any further assaults would be futile, Song Shilun ordered the 9th Army to switch their main attacks toward Sinhung-ni and Hagaru-ri,Шаблон:Sfn leaving Yudam-ni alone from 28 to 30 November.Шаблон:Sfn At the same time, the US Eighth Army on the Korean western front was forced into full retreat at the Battle of the Ch'ongch'on River, and MacArthur ordered Almond to withdraw the US X Corps to the port of Hungnam.Шаблон:Sfn Acting on Almond and Smith's instructions, Lieutenant Colonel Raymond L. Murray and Colonel Homer L. Litzenberg, commanders of the 5th and 7th Marines, respectively, issued a joint order to break out from Yudam-ni to Hagaru-ri on 30 November.Шаблон:Sfn Faced with tough fighting between the blocking Chinese divisions and the withdrawing Marines, Smith remarked: "Retreat, hell! We're not retreating, we're just advancing in a different direction."Шаблон:Sfn

For the breakout, the Marines formed into a convoy with a single M4A3 Sherman tank in the lead. The plan was to have 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines (3/5) as the vanguard of the convoy, with three battalions covering the rear. At the same time, 1st Battalion, 7th Marines (1/7) would attack towards Fox Company in order to open the road at Toktong Pass.Шаблон:Sfn To start the breakout, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines (3/7) had to first attack south and capture Hills 1542 and 1419 in order to cover the road from Chinese attacks.Шаблон:Sfn The breakout was carried out under the air cover of the 1st Marine Air Wing.Шаблон:Sfn

On the morning of 1 December, 3/7 Marines engaged the PVA 175th Regiment of the 59th Division at Hills 1542 (Шаблон:Coord) and 1419 (Шаблон:Coord). The Chinese defenders soon forced the Marines to dig in on the slopes between the road and the peaksШаблон:Sfn when the convoy passed 3/7's position by the afternoon.Шаблон:Sfn With Hagaru-ri still not captured, the PVA High Command scrambled the 79th Division to resume attacks on Yudam-ni, while the 89th Division rushed south towards Kot'o-ri.Шаблон:Sfn The Chinese struck at night, and the ferocity of the fighting forced the rear covering forces to call in night fighters to suppress the attacks.Шаблон:Sfn The fighting lasted well into the morning of 2 December until all the Marines had managed to withdraw from Yudam-ni.Шаблон:Sfn

At the same time, 1/7 Marines also tried to break the Chinese blockade at Hill 1419 on 1 December. Despite being badly reduced by combat, hunger and frostbite, the PVA 59th Division sent in its last five platoons and refused to yield.Шаблон:Sfn As night approached, 1/7 finally captured the peak and started to march through the hills on the east side of the road.Шаблон:Sfn Relying on the element of surprise, they managed to destroy several Chinese positions along the road.Шаблон:Sfn On the morning of 2 December, a joint attack by Fox Company and 1/7 secured the Toktong Pass, thus opening the road between Yudam-ni and Hagaru-ri.Шаблон:Sfn

Although the road had been opened between Yudam-ni and Hagaru-ri, the convoy still had to fight through the numerous Chinese positions on the hills overlooking the road. On the first night of the retreat, the Chinese struck the convoy in force and inflicted heavy casualties on 3/5 Marines.Шаблон:Sfn Although strong air cover suppressed most of the Chinese forces for the rest of the march, the cold weather, harassing fire, raiding parties, and roadblocks slowed the retreat to a crawl, while inflicting numerous casualties.Шаблон:Sfn Despite those difficulties, the convoy reached Hagaru-ri in an orderly fashion on the afternoon of 3 December, with the withdrawal completed on 4 December.Шаблон:Sfn

RCT-31, later known as "Task Force Faith," was a hastily formed regimental combat team from the 7th Infantry Division that guarded the right flank of the Marine advance towards Mupyong-ni. Before the battle, RCT-31 was spread thin, with main elements separated on the hills north of Sinhung-ni, the Pyungnyuri Inlet west of Sinhung-ni, and the town of Hudong-ni (Шаблон:Coord) south of Sinhung-ni.Шаблон:Sfn Although the Chinese believed RCT-31 to be a reinforced regiment,Шаблон:Sfn the task force was actually understrength, with one battalion missing, due to the bulk of the 7th Infantry Division being scattered over northeast Korea.Шаблон:Sfn

On the night of 27 November, three regiments from the 80th Division attacked the northern hills (Шаблон:Coord) and the inlet,Шаблон:Sfn completely surprising the defenders.Шаблон:Sfn The 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry, to the north of Sinhung-ni suffered heavy casualties,Шаблон:Sfn while the 57th Field Artillery Battalion and the 3rd Battalion, 31st Infantry, were almost overrun at Pyungnyuri Inlet.Шаблон:Sfn The Chinese also sent the 242nd Regiment of the 81st Division towards Hill 1221, (Шаблон:Coord),Шаблон:Sfn an undefended hill that controlled the road between Sinhung-ni and Hudong-ni.Шаблон:Sfn As the night's fighting ended, RCT-31 was split into three elements.Шаблон:Sfn

Believing that the defenders had been completely destroyed at the inlet, the Chinese stopped their attacks and proceeded to loot the American positions for food and clothing.Шаблон:Sfn As morning came on 28 November, the 3/31st Infantry counterattacked the PVA 239th Regiment at the inlet, driving the surprised Chinese back in a complete rout.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn In the afternoon, Almond flew into the Sinhung-ni perimeter of RCT-31, convinced that RCT-31 was strong enough to begin its attack north and deal with whatever "remnants" of Chinese forces were in their way. Almond ordered Colonel Allan D. Maclean, the commander of RCT-31, to resume the offensive north, while presenting Silver Stars to three of Maclean's officers. In disgust, Lieutenant Colonel Don C. Faith, Jr., the commander of the 1/32nd Infantry, threw his medal into the snow.Шаблон:Sfn

On the night of 28 November, the PVA 80th Division attacked again with four regiments.Шаблон:Sfn At the inlet, the Chinese assault became a disaster as communications broke down, while devastating fire from the M16 and M19 anti-aircraft (AA) guns attached to the 57th Field Artillery Battalion swept the Chinese ranks.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Efn In the aftermath, the PVA 238th and the 239th Regiment together had fewer than 600 soldiers.Шаблон:Sfn The attacks by PVA 240th Regiment, on the other hand, forced Maclean to order a retreat from the northern hills towards Sinhung-ni.Шаблон:Sfn On 29 November, the 1st Battalion managed to break through the Chinese blockade and reached the Sinhung-ni perimeter, but Maclean was lost when he mistook some Chinese soldiers for American.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Efn The Chinese finally stopped their attacks on the night of 29 November, while waiting for fresh reinforcements.Шаблон:Sfn

While RCT-31 was under siege, Almond finally instructed the 1st Marine Division to rescue it by breaking out of Yudam-ni, an impossible order for Smith to implement.Шаблон:Sfn Only the 31st Tank Company tried to rescue RCT-31, by attacking Hill 1221 from Hudong-ni,Шаблон:Sfn but without infantry support, the two armored attacks on 28 and 29 November were stalled by slippery roads, rough terrain, and close infantry assaults.Шаблон:Sfn By 30 November, the US forces evacuated Hudong-ni in order to defend Hagaru-ri, leaving the rest of RCT-31 completely isolated.Шаблон:Sfn

On 30 November, Major General David G. Barr, the commander of the 7th Infantry Division, flew into Sinhung-ni and met with Faith, who by now had assumed command of RCT-31. Faith laid out the difficulties of a breakout, particularly the 500 wounded that RCT-31 had to bring along.Шаблон:Sfn On the same day, parts of the PVA 94th Division Шаблон:Efn and the rest of the 81st DivisionШаблон:Sfn arrived as reinforcements for the 80th Division.Шаблон:Sfn By midnight, sixШаблон:Sfn Chinese regiments renewed their attacks, and Zhan Danan, the commander of the 80th Division, ordered the complete destruction of RCT-31 before dawn.Шаблон:Sfn Again, the 57th Battalion's AA guns held the Chinese at bay,Шаблон:Sfn but supplies of shells were desperately low.Шаблон:Sfn On the day of 1 December, Faith finally ordered RCT-31 to break out from Sinhung-ni and withdraw to Hagaru-ri.Шаблон:Sfn

The breakout began as soon as the weather allowed the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing to provide air cover on 1 December.Шаблон:Sfn As the soldiers formed a convoy and tried to leave the Sudong-ni perimeter, the PVA 241st Regiment immediately swarmed over the American forces,Шаблон:Sfn with three other regiments closing in.Шаблон:Sfn Left with no choice, the covering aircraft dropped napalm right in front of RCT-31, inflicting casualties on both American and Chinese troops.Шаблон:Sfn The resulting firestorm wiped out the blocking Chinese company,Шаблон:Sfn allowing the convoy to advance.Шаблон:Sfn As the front of RCT-31 made its way forward, heavy small arms fire caused many members of the rear guard to seek shelter below the road instead of protecting the trucks.Шаблон:Sfn Chinese fire also killed or wounded those already in the trucks as well as the drivers, who viewed the job as a form of suicide.Шаблон:Sfn Slowly, the convoy approached a roadblock under Hill 1221 in the late afternoon.Шаблон:Sfn Several parties tried to clear Hill 1221, but after taking part of the hill, the leaderless soldiers continued out onto the frozen reservoir instead of returning to the column.Шаблон:Sfn As Faith led an assault on the roadblock, he was hit by a Chinese grenade and subsequently died of his wounds.Шаблон:Sfn The convoy managed to fight past the first roadblock, but as it reached the second at Hudong-ni, RCT-31 disintegrated under Chinese attacks.Шаблон:Sfn Out of the original 2,500 soldiers, about 1,050 managed to reach Hagaru-ri, and only 385 survivors were deemed able-bodied.Шаблон:Sfn The remnants of RCT-31 were formed into a provisional army battalion for the rest of the battle.Шаблон:Sfn

To support the Marine attack towards Mupyong-ni, Hagaru-ri became an important supply dump with an airfield under construction. Smith and 1st Marine Division headquarters were also located at Hagaru-ri.Шаблон:Sfn With the bulk of the 1st Marine Division gathered at Yudam-ni, Hagaru-ri was lightly defended by two battalions from the 1st and 7th Marines, the rest of the garrison being composed of engineers and rear support units from both the Army and the Marine Corps.Шаблон:Sfn

The original Chinese plan called for the 58th Division to attack Hagaru-ri on the night of 27 November, but the division became lost in the countryside due to the outdated Japanese maps it used.Шаблон:Sfn It was not until the dawn of 28 November that the 58th Division arrived at Hagaru-ri.Шаблон:Sfn Meanwhile, from the fighting and ambushes that had occurred the previous night, the garrison at Hagaru-ri noticed the Chinese forces around them. Lieutenant Colonel Thomas L. Ridge, commander of 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines (3/1), predicted the Chinese attack would come on the night of 28 November.Шаблон:Sfn Almost everyone, including rear support units with little combat training, was pressed into service on the front line due to the manpower shortage,Шаблон:Sfn and the entire perimeter was on full alert by 21:30.Шаблон:Sfn

It was not long before the PVA 173rd Regiment attacked the western and the southern perimeter, while the 172nd Regiment struck the hills on the northern perimeter.Шаблон:Sfn Despite the preparations, the understrength garrison was overwhelmed, with the Chinese opening several gaps in the defenses and reaching the rear areas.Шаблон:Sfn The resulting chaos, however, caused a breakdown in discipline among the Chinese soldiers, who began looting food and clothing instead of exploiting the situation.Шаблон:Sfn The defending Americans managed to destroy the Chinese forces in counterattacks, while a breakdown of communications between the Chinese regiments allowed the gaps to close.Шаблон:Sfn When the fighting stopped, the Chinese had only gained the East Hill (Шаблон:Coord) on the northern perimeter.Шаблон:Sfn Another attack was planned for the night of 29 November, but air raids by VMF-542 broke up the Chinese formations before it could be carried out.Шаблон:Sfn

Given the critical manpower shortage at Hagaru-ri, on 29 November, Smith ordered Colonel Lewis "Chesty" Puller of the First Marine Regiment to assemble a task force to be sent north from Kot'o-ri to open the road south of Hagaru-ri.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn A task force was formed with 921 troops from 41 (Royal Marine) Commando, G Company of the 1st Marines and B Company of the 31st Infantry.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn It was dubbed "Task Force Drysdale" after its commander, Lieutenant Colonel Douglas B. Drysdale, who also commanded 41 Commando.Шаблон:Sfn On the afternoon of 29 November, Task Force Drysdale pushed north from Koto-ri, while under constant attack from the PVA 60th Division.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn The task force's harrowing experience later earned the road the nickname "Hell Fire Valley".Шаблон:Sfn As the Chinese attacks dragged on, the task force became disorganized,Шаблон:Sfn and a destroyed truck in the convoy later split the task force into two segments.Шаблон:Sfn Although the lead segment fought its way into Hagaru-ri on the night of 29 November, the rear segment was destroyed.Шаблон:Sfn Despite suffering 162 dead and missing and 159 wounded, the task force managed to bring in 300 badly needed infantrymen for the defense at Hagaru-ri.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn

As more reinforcements arrived from Hudong-ni on 30 November,Шаблон:Sfn the garrisons attempted to recapture the East Hill. All efforts failed, despite the destruction of a Chinese company.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn When darkness settled, the PVA 58th Division gathered its remaining 1,500 soldiers in a last-ditch attempt to capture Hagaru-ri.Шаблон:Sfn The reinforced defenders annihilated most of the attacking forces, with only the defences around the East Hill giving way.Шаблон:Sfn As the Chinese tried to advance from the East Hill, they were cut down by the 31st Tank Company.Шаблон:Sfn

By 1 December, the PVA 58th Division was virtually destroyed,Шаблон:Sfn with the remainder waiting for reinforcements from the 26th Corps of the 9th Army.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Much to the frustration of Song Shilun, the 26th Corps did not arrive before the Marines broke out of Yudam-ni.Шаблон:Sfn The airfield was opened to traffic on 1 December, allowing UN forces to bring in reinforcements and to evacuate the dead and wounded.Шаблон:Sfn With the Marines at Yudam-ni completing their withdrawal on 4 December, the trapped UN forces could finally start their breakout towards the port of Hungnam.

After a short rest, the breakout began on 6 December, with the 7th Marines as the vanguard of the retreating column, while the 5th Marines covered the rear.Шаблон:Sfn At the same time, the much-delayed PVA 26th Corps arrived at Hagaru-ri with its 76th and 77th Divisions to relieve the 58th and 60th Divisions.Шаблон:Sfn As the 7th Marines pushed aside the PVA 76th Division south of Hagaru-ri, the 5th Marines took over the Hagaru-ri perimeter and recaptured the East Hill from the 76th Division.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn In a last effort to stop the breakout,Шаблон:Sfn the customary Chinese night attack was launched, with the 76th and 77th Division striking the Hagaru-ri perimeter from all directions.Шаблон:Sfn The Marines repulsed the attacks, inflicting heavy casualties.Шаблон:Sfn

Meanwhile, the 7th Marines opened the road between Hagaru-ri and Koto-ri by capturing the high ground surrounding the road. But as soon as the Marines pulled out, the 77th Division returned to the peaks and attacked the column.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Chaotic fighting broke out and the retreat was slowed to a crawl.Шаблон:Sfn The Marine night fighters, however, returned to subdue the Chinese forces,Шаблон:Sfn and most of the blocking troops were eliminated.Шаблон:Sfn On 7 December, the rest of the column managed to reach Kot'o-ri with little difficulty, with the last elements reaching Kot'o-ri that night.Шаблон:Sfn

After the failure of the 26th Corps at Hagaru-ri, the PVA High Command ordered the 26th and 27th Corps to chase the escaping UN force, with the 20th Corps assigned to block the escape route.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn But with most of the 20th Corps destroyed at Yudam-ni and Hagaru-ri, the only forces between Kot'o-ri and Hungnam were the remnants of the 58th and 60th Divisions.Шаблон:Sfn In desperation, Song Shilun ordered these troops to dig in at Funchilin Pass, while blowing up the vital bridge (Шаблон:Coord), hoping the terrain and obstacles would allow the 26th and 27th Corps to catch up with the retreating UN forces.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn The PVA 180th Regiment that occupied Hill 1081 (Шаблон:Coord) blew up the original concrete bridge and two improvised replacements in succession, believing the bridge was rendered irreparable.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn In response, the 1st Battalion, 1st Marines (1/1) attacked Hill 1081 from the south, and the hill was captured on 9 December, though the defenders fought to the last man.Шаблон:Sfn At the same time, the 7th Marines and RCT-31 attacked the bridge from the north, only to encounter defenders who were already frozen in their foxholes.Шаблон:Sfn

With the path to Hungnam blocked at Funchilin Pass, eight C-119 Flying Boxcars flown by the US 314th Troop Carrier Wing were used to drop portable bridge sections by parachute.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn The bridge, consisting of eight separate Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert sections, was dropped one section at a time, using a Шаблон:Convert parachute on each section.Шаблон:Sfn Four of these sections, together with additional wooden extensions were successfully reassembled into a replacement bridge by Marine Corps combat engineers and the US Army 58th Engineer Treadway Bridge Company on 9 December, enabling UN forces to proceed.Шаблон:Sfn Outmaneuvered, the PVA 58th and 60th Divisions still tried to slow the UN advance with ambushes and raids, but after weeks of non-stop fighting, the two Chinese divisions combined had only 200 soldiers left.Шаблон:Sfn The last UN forces left Funchilin Pass by 11 December.Шаблон:Sfn

One of the last engagements during the withdrawal was an ambush at Sudong (Шаблон:Coord) by the pursuing PVA 89th Division,Шаблон:Sfn which Task Force Dog of the 3rd Infantry Division repulsed with little difficulty.Шаблон:Sfn The trapped UN forces finally reached the Hungnam perimeter by 21:00 on 11 December.Шаблон:Sfn

By the time the UN forces arrived at Hungnam, MacArthur had already ordered the evacuation of the US X Corps on 8 December in order to reinforce the US Eighth Army, which by then was badly depleted and retreating rapidly towards the 38th parallel.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Following his orders, the ROK I Corps, the ROK 1st Marine Regiment and the US 3rd and 7th Infantry Divisions had also set up defensive positions around the port.Шаблон:Sfn Some skirmishes broke out between the defending US 7th, 17th and 65th Infantry and the pursuing PVA 27th Corps,Шаблон:Sfn but against the strong naval gun fire support provided by US Navy Task Force 90, the badly mauled 9th Army was in no shape to approach the Hungnam perimeter.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn

In what US historians called the "greatest evacuation movement by sea in US military history",Шаблон:Sfn a 193-ship armada assembled at the port and evacuated not only the UN troops, but also their heavy equipment and roughly a third of the Korean refugees.Шаблон:Sfn One Victory ship, the Шаблон:Ship, evacuated 14,000 refugees by herself, despite being designed to carry only 12 passengers. The last UN unit left at 14:36 on 24 December, and the port was destroyed to deny its use to the Chinese.Шаблон:Sfn The PVA 27th Corps entered Hungnam on the morning of 25 December.Шаблон:Sfn

Aftermath

Casualties

The US X Corps and the ROK I Corps reported a total of 10,495 battle casualties: 4,385 US Marines, 3,163 US Army personnel, 2,812 South Koreans attached to American formations and 78 British Royal Marines.Шаблон:Sfn The 1st Marine Division also reported 7,338 non-battle casualties due to the cold weather, adding up to a total of 17,833 casualties.Шаблон:Sfn Despite the losses, the US X Corps preserved much of its strength.Шаблон:Sfn About 105,000 soldiers, 98,000 civilians, 17,500 vehicles, and 350,000 tons of supplies were shipped from Hungnam to Pusan,Шаблон:Sfn and they would later rejoin the war effort in Korea. Commanding General Smith was credited for saving the US X Corps from destruction,Шаблон:Sfn while the 1st Marine Division, 41 (Royal Marine) Commando and RCT-31 were awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for their tenacity during the battle.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Fourteen Marines, two soldiers and one Navy pilot received the Medal of Honor, and all of the UN troops that served at Chosin were later nicknamed "The Chosin Few".Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn

According to official estimates by the People's Liberation Army General Logistics Department published in 1988, the PVA 9th Army suffered 21,366 combat casualties, including 7,304 killed. In addition, 30,732 non-combat casualties were attributed to the harsh Korean winter and lack of food.Шаблон:Sfn Total casualties thus amounted to 52,098 - more than one third of its total strength. Outside of official channels, the estimation of Chinese casualties has been described as high as 60,000 by Patrick C. Roe, the chairman of Chosin Few Historical Committee, citing the number of replacements requested by 9th Army in the aftermath of the battle.Шаблон:Sfn Regardless of the varying estimates, historian Yan Xue of PLA National Defence University noted that the 9th Army was put out of action for three months.Шаблон:Sfn With the absence of 9th Army the Chinese order of battle in Korea was reduced to 18 infantry divisions by 31 December 1950,Шаблон:Sfn as opposed to the 30 infantry divisions present on 16 November 1950.Шаблон:Sfn

Operation Glory

During the battle, UN dead were buried at temporary grave sites along the road. Operation Glory took place from July to November 1954, during which the dead of each side were exchanged. The remains of 4,167 US soldiers were exchanged for 13,528 North Korean and Chinese dead. In addition, 546 civilians who died in UN prisoner-of-war camps were turned over to the South Korean government.Шаблон:Sfn After Operation Glory, 416 Korean War "unknowns" were buried in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (the "Punchbowl Cemetery" in Honolulu, Hawaii). According to a Defense Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) white paper, 1,394 names were also transmitted from the Chinese and North Koreans during the operation, of which 858 proved to be correct.Шаблон:Sfn The 4,167 returned remains were found to be 4,219 individuals, of whom 2,944 were found to be Americans, with all but 416 identified by name. Of the 239 Korean War unaccounted for, 186 are not associated with the Punchbowl Cemetery unknowns.Шаблон:Efn From 1990 to 1994, North Korea excavated and returned more than 208 sets of remains, which possibly include 200 to 400 US servicemen, but very few have been identified due to the co-mingling of remains.Шаблон:Sfn From 2001 to 2005, more remains were recovered from the Chosin Battle site, and around 220 were recovered near the Chinese border between 1996 and 2006.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn

Outcome assessment

Roy E. Appleman, the author of US Army official history South to Naktong, North to Yalu, writes that both sides could claim victory: the PVA 9th Army ultimately held the battlefield, while X Corps held off the PVA 9th Army in a series of battles that enabled it to withdraw most of its forces as an effective tactical unit.Шаблон:Sfn Allan R. Millett qualifies his assessment of the battle as a Chinese "geographic victory" in that they ejected X Corps from North Korea with the PVA’s tactical failure of achieving their stated objective of destroying the 1st Marine Division, adding that the campaign gave the UN confidence that it could withstand the superior numbers of the Chinese forces.Шаблон:Sfn The official Chinese history, published by PLA Academy of Military Science, states that despite the heavy casualties, the PVA 9th Army had earned its victory by successfully protecting the eastern flank of Chinese forces in Korea, while inflicting over 10,000 casualties to the UN forces.Шаблон:Sfn

Eliot A. Cohen writes that the retreat from Chosin was a UN victory which inflicted such heavy losses on the PVA 9th Army that it was put out of action until March 1951.Шаблон:Sfn Paul M. Edwards, founder of the Center for the Study of the Korean War,Шаблон:Sfn draws parallels between the battle at Chosin and the Dunkirk evacuation. He writes that the retreat from Chosin following a "massive strategic victory" by the Chinese has been represented as "a moment of heroic history" for the UN forces.Шаблон:Sfn Appleman, on the other hand, questioned the necessity of a sea-borne evacuation to preserve the UN forces, asserting that X Corps had the strength to break out of the Chinese encirclement at Hungnam at the end of the battle.Шаблон:Sfn Chinese historian Li Xiaobing acknowledges X Corps' successful withdrawal from North Korea, and writes that the Battle of Chosin "has become a part of Marine lore, but it was still a retreat, not a victory."Шаблон:Sfn Bruce Cumings simply refers to the battle as a "terrible defeat" for the Americans.Шаблон:Sfn

Patrick C. Roe, who served as an intelligence officer with the 7th Marine Regiment at Chosin,Шаблон:Sfn asserts that X Corps directly allowed the Eighth Army to hold the southШаблон:Efn and quoted MacArthur in corroborating his view.Шаблон:Efn Yu Bin, a historian and a former member of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, states that while the destruction of Task Force FaithШаблон:Efn was viewed as the single greatest Chinese victory of the war, ultimately the PVA 9th Army had become "a giant hospital" while failing to destroy the numerically inferior UN forces at Chosin as planned.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Ill, whose 26th Corps was blamed for allowing the X Corps to escape,Шаблон:Sfn had threatened suicide over the outcome, while Song Shilun offered to resign his post.Шаблон:Sfn

The battle exacerbated inter-service hostility, the Marines blaming the US Army and its leadership for the failure.Шаблон:Sfnm The collapse of the army units fighting on the east of the reservoir was regarded as shameful, and for many years afterwards their role in the battle was largely ignored. Later studies concluded that Task Force MacLean/Faith had held off for five days a significantly larger force than previously thought and that their stand was a significant factor in the Marines' survival. This was eventually recognized in September 1999 when, for its actions at Chosin, Task Force Faith was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation, an award that General Smith blocked when it was first proposed in 1952.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn

The Marines evacuated from North Korea and spent January and most of February 1951 rebuilding in the relatively secure South Korea, where they destroyed the well-respected but already weakened North Korean 10th Division in counter-guerrilla operations during the Second Battle of Wonju.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn The Marines returned to regular and heavy action on 21 February in Operation Killer.Шаблон:Sfn

Wider effect on the war

The battle ended the UN force's expectation of total victory, including the capture of North Korea and the reunification of the peninsula.Шаблон:Sfn By the end of 1950, PVA/KPA forces had recaptured North Korea and pushed UN forces back south of the 38th parallel. Serious consideration was given to the evacuation of all US forces from the Korean peninsula and US military leaders made secret contingency plans to do so.Шаблон:Sfn The disregard by Far Eastern Command under MacArthur of the initial warnings and diplomatic hints by the PVA almost led the entire UN army to disaster at Ch'ongch'on River and Chosin Reservoir and only after the formation and stabilization of a coherent UN defensive line under Lieutenant General Matthew Ridgway did the "period of headlong retreats from an attacking, unsuspected foe" cease.Шаблон:Sfn

On the other hand, the battle affected the PVA in two ways, both of which had the result of helping the UN Command to secure its position in South Korea, while losing North Korea. First, according to historian Shu Guang Zhang, PVA commanders were persuaded by their victories at Chosin and Ch'ongch'on that they could "defeat American armed forces", and this led to "unrealistic expectations that the CPV [PVA] would work miracles."Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Second, the heavy casualties caused by sub-zero temperatures and combat, plus poor logistical support weakened the PVA's eight elite divisions of the 20th and 27th Corps. Of those eight divisions, two were forced to disband.Шаблон:Sfn With the absence of 12 out of 30 of Chinese divisions in Korea in early 1951, Roe says that the heavy Chinese losses at Chosin enabled the UN forces to maintain a foothold in Korea.Шаблон:Sfn

Request for nuclear weapons

By the end of the withdrawal, the Chinese troops had advanced and retaken almost all of North Korean territories. On 24 December 1950, MacArthur submitted a list of "retardation targets" in Korea, Manchuria and other parts of China, and requested 34 atomic bombs from Washington with the purpose of sowing a belt of radioactive cobalt to prevent further Chinese advances. His request was strongly declined and led to his later dismissal.^[3]^[4]^[5]

Legacy

The Battle of Chosin Reservoir is regarded by some historians as the most brutal in modern warfare by violence, casualty rate, weather conditions, and endurance.Шаблон:Sfn Over the course of fourteen days, 17 Medals of Honor (Army and Navy) and 78 Service Cross Medals (Army and Navy) were awarded by the United States, the second most as of 2020 after the Battle of the Bulge (20 MOHs and 83 SCMs).Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn

American veterans of the battle are colloquially referred to as the "Chosin Few" and symbolized by the "Star of Koto-ri".Шаблон:Sfn
