I SEOUL, Korea, UP — United Nations soldiers and tanks hurled back a Communist tank-led assault on a hill northwest of Chorwpn in a bitter, five\hour battle today and pushed on north to take new’ positions. It was the first tank vs\ tank engagement in months. The U. N. tanks -claimed victory after destroying a -Russian-built T-34 with a direct hit. The Red attack began about 10 o’clock Thursday night with an enemy artillery barrage. Shortly after, several T-34s and a reinforced enemy battalion began slogging through the rain toward Allied positions. Enemy tanks also supported a light jab at another hill in the Chorwon area, but it was easily repulsed. The Allies claimed they killed or wounded near 250 Communist soldiers in hot and frequent patrol actions in the central sector. The weather restricted U. N. naval operations, but the 45.000 top battleship low’a pounded shore installations Thursday on the east coast,, knocking out at least two gun positions, and possibly a third, and destroying two bunkers.
