...Chinese had halted, after the fall of Osan, for what Eighth Army spokesmen said was a huge buildup of strength. Also, they seemed to be shifting strength laterally to the east, either to reinforce the hard-pressed North Koreans in the central mountains, or because they were unwilling to make a frontal assault along the Seoul-Taejon road. Since allied rear-guards had lost contact with the Chinese, they were ordered to turn around, push north until they encountered the enemy...
...first, MacArthur's spokesmen in Tokyo seemed just as bewildered as newsmen. Colonel Marion P. Echols, MacArthur's information boss, said he had not even seen the new censorship rules from Korea except in a "telephoned and garbled version."

The intelligence estimate was that 18 divisions of Chinese were trying to come to grips with the Eighth Army. Chinese crossed the Taedong estuary in a vast fleet of power junks and small craft; farther back they waded the Chongchon and tinged the icy river with blood when allied airplanes strafed them. But the locustlike swarm...
