S. KOREANS CONTINUE ADVANCE ON WONSAN Another ROK division crosses Parallel
ENEMY LOSSES HIGH
Changjon, October 6.
The South Korean Third Division swept to the approaches of Tongchon against no resistance today and by nightfall was only 40 road miles South of the industrial and port city of Wonsan. Meanwhile, reconnaissance planes flying over the Wonsan area reported convoys of trucks carrying troops moving North and West of that city. But they also reported another column of troop-laden trucks moving South of Wonsan, apparently to take up defence positions South of the city. The case with which the South Koreans moved toward Tongchon today led South Korean observers to believe the Reds may have given up plans to fight a rear guard action all the way to Wonsan. The drive to Tongchon represents an advance of 62 air miles North of the 38th Parallel and more than 100 miles by road.
