[Hill 1282, Yudam-Ni, North Korea, 27 November, 1950] [H2H] [HISB] [BB] The 1st Marine Division had been cut off by tens of thousands Communist Chinese regulars who had infiltrated into North Korea and closed the main supply road to the south. Now the Communist Chinese command move swiftly to overwhelm the high ground around the Chosin Reservoir held by elements of the 7th Marine Regiment. On this night, the CPVA 1st and 2nd Battalions, 235th Regiment came calling on 2nd Battalion 7th Marines in a bid to brek through to the command posts of the 5th and 7th Marines.

AFTERMATH: Preceded by the eerie sound of bugles, the Communist Chinese charged up the hill in a series of human wave assaults, throwing grenades as they went Witnesses reported seeing Chinese soldiers carrying whole baskets of gernades. The Marines fought back fiercely dispite weather induced weapon jams, but were about to falter when the Battalion commander drove an M-1 Rifle bayonet into the ground and screamed "This is 2nd Battalion and this is where we stand!" Although 2nd Battalion was severely mauled, they held on long enough for reinforcements from 5th Marines to secure Hill 1282.
