Scenario Description
In August, General Gay replaced the 5th Cavalry Regiment's aging and near-deaf commander Colonel Carl Rohsenberger with the more dynamic Marcel Crombez. Colonel Crombez had missed most of WWII in stateside training assignments but served in the post-war occupation of South Korea, where he learned the land and peopJe well. Hard charging and determined to not let this war pass him by, he saw the breakout from the Naktong as his opportunity to be the first to the North Korean capital of P'yongyang. 1st Cavalry Division crossed the 38th Parallel on 9 October headed for Kumch'on, and 5th Cavalry Regiment encountered heavy resistance from the KPA 19th and 27th Divisions along a ridge northeast of Kaesan. Crombez was ordered to bypass the opposition and by doing so inadvertently put his regiment into the operational area of the ROK 1st Division.
Location
Korangp’o-Ri, S. Korea
Battle Narrative
The UN Offensive into North Korea was a large-scale offensive in late 1950 by United Nations (UN) forces against North Korean forces. On 27 September near Osan UN forces coming from Inchon linked up with UN forces that had broken out of the Pusan Perimeter and began a general counteroffensive. The North Korean Korean People's Army (KPA) had been shattered and its remnants were fleeing back towards North Korea. The UN Command then decided to pursue the KPA into North Korea, completing their destruction and unifying the country. On 30 September Republic of Korea Army (ROK) forces crossed the 38th Parallel, the de facto border between North and South Korea on the east coast of the Korean peninsula and this was followed by a general UN offensive into North Korea. Within one month UN forces were approaching the Yalu River, prompting Chinese intervention in the war. Despite the initial Chinese attacks in late October-early November, the UN renewed their offensive on 24 November before it was abruptly halted by massive Chinese intervention in the Second Phase Offensive starting on 25 November.
