15 February, 1951
[4.8 Kilometers South of Chipyong-ni]:[H2H/CCF][HIS][BB]: UN
player MUST stay on the road. While the 23d Regimental Combat
Team, surrounded by Chinese Communists at Chipyong-ni, braced
itself for the second night of the siege, a regiment of the 1st
Cavalry Division set out on a sort of rescue mission: to drive
through enemy lines, join the encircled unit and give it all
possible assistance. Specifically, it was to open the road for
supply vehicles and ambulances. On 14 February 1951, the 5th
Cavalry Regiment was in corps reserve when the commanding general
of U.S. IX Corps (Maj.Gen. Bryant E. Moore) alerted it for possible
action. It was midafternoon when he first telephoned the regimental
commander (Col. Marcel G. Crombez) warning him to make plans
for an attack along the road running from Yoju to Koksu-ri and
then northeast into Chipyong-ni a road distance of fifteen miles.
Another force, attacking along the better and more direct road
to Chipyong-ni, had been unable to make fast enough progress
because of heavily entrenched enemy forces along its route. The
task force advanced along the road, then short of Koksu-ri the
enemy began its attack on the column, the infantry on the tanks
dismounting in disarray. The task force exchanges fire with the
enemy for a few moments, suddenly, on Crombez' orders, the tanks
take off, the dismounted infantry struggling to climb aboard.
Advancing along a short while, the column again is forced to
halt, again the infantry dismount, this scenario starts at the
second halt. Can the relief column slam through the Red defenses,
the 23rd depends on them! [ALL OPTIONS EXCEPT VV and Human Wave][VERSION1.9]

UN has no chance if not recklessly aggressive.
