The Chinese came out of their entrenchments twice to counterattack advancing A merican troops. The Yanks withdrew and called in an artillery barrage. Then they charged, and the Reds retreated into their bunkers. American artillery roared incessantly throughout the day, with 6000 to S000 rounds being fired on one division front alone. Tanks joined the doughboys in the forefront of the fighting. One U. 8. tank reported being fired on by a Chinese using an American 3.5-inch bazooka.
