However, it was able to delay the North Korean division for five days in this effort.
Under heavy pressure, the Korean 6th Division broke, and the line collapsed.
The division suffered over 3,600 casualties in the 17 days it fought alone against the 3rd and 4th North Korean divisions.
The North Korean 3rd Division was almost completely destroyed in the battles.
The 1st South Korean Division would remain in its existing position on the left flank.
Anyway, the South Korean divisions just melted away.
The North Korean 6th and 7th Divisions received their attack orders on August 20.
The South Korean Fifth Division was also cut off from its retreat path.
The North Korean 3rd Division was ordered to attack from the north, against the flank.
