Escaped from his unit on 3 Dec 50 at TANYANG then went to CHECHON to surrender to UN Forces.
25th Regt and 27th Regt objective was ANDONG, the attack being spearheaded by the latter. These 2 Regt were ordered to avoid contact with UN Forces as much as possible. They were to go to their objectives and wait there until the CCF fought its way down to join them. His unit was not a combat unit. There were about 130 men in the 2nd Bn.
About 25 men were armed with PPSH SMG (1 magazine ea) and their duties were to go on patrol. Saw 3 M-1 rifles (24 rd ea), Japanese 99 rifles (30 rd ea) and rest of men armed with Russian rifles (30 rd ea). Did not see any mortars but his plat had about 24 mortar shells.
Personalities: KIM, Dok Man, Jr Lt, Plat Ldr.
About two-thirds of the men wore quilted winter clothing.
Practically all the men had frostbites and when the unit was on the march, these men were forced to keep up with the unit.
Food found in villages was sufficient.
Morale was low because they were always moving or hiding in the mountains. They are in doubt about winning the war because they are always in hiding.W
