In a group of medics behind the skirmish line, Corporal Donald Reddick of Portland, Tenn., carrying a litter, had just slithered off the end of a paddy dike when the Chinese opened fire. Rifle bullets snapped overhead and then the enemy charged out of the dike shadows, throwing grenades. One exploded near Reddick, smashed his right knee. "I'm hit!" he shouted. The man next...
