JOHN R. CARPENTER wrote on August 15, 2002 CITY AND STATE: LA MESA CA UNIT: ONE OF THE AMERICANS WITH RADAR WHO BECAME A 2ND L SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: 8 inch fire support saved the nights for the ROK Capital Division bunker complex my father (an American with 30 other Americans and about 190 ROKs) was in from July 13 to 22 July 1953. They were cut off and surrounded. Only the 8 inch batteries could give them fire support for the first week. WHICH 8 inch group provided this support? They were east of the Heartbreak and Bloody Ridge area and west of the Punch bowl on Steel Ridge. During the last Chinese offensive in July 1953, The ROK Army took the burnt of the offensive. The ROK Capital Division began to fall back but was hit by enemy forces at this time causing units to fall back farther than intended. One of the 21 strong points survived because of Lt. Col Kim. He rallied those ROK soldiers who were willing to fight into the bunker complex. Inside this bunker complex was an American 3 man FAC (forward air controller) and an American 28 man unit testing battlefield radar with AA weapons. The combination of guts, leadership with a little bit of help by air and 8 inch artillery support guided by radar at night and in the fog, saved this unit from being wiped out. Keywords:
