Overview:

Ongjin Peninsula, South Korea, 25 June 1950. At 04:00 of 25 June a red flare was shot in the air and DPRK forces began shelling ROK defenses for 30 minutes. After the artillery attack, a battalion-sized force of DPRK soldiers thrust into eastern Ongjin Peninsula. Meantime, the DPRK 14th Regiment continued shelling on the ROK 3rd Battalion on the eastern area until 05:30. When DPRK forces rushed over the ROK defenses with tanks and armored vehicles, ROK forces employed M18 recoilless rifle in defense. These failed to destroy any tanks. The ROK 3rd Battalion then retreated and set up new defensive lines at Chimasan and Seokgyeri which left Kangryong and Yangwon vulnerable to DPRK attack.
