Episode synopsis

The UN forces are withdrawn this week across the Naktong River into a new defensive zone in the Southeast corner of the Peninsula- the Pusan Perimeter, but already as the week begins they are in great danger from the right hook near the coast by the North Korean 6th Division, that threatens to upend everything, taking Chinju and aiming for Masan. There are also machinations afoot with the Chinese in Taiwan, and the fear that a larger war could erupt if things aren't handled right concerning the Chinese; it's a week full of tension.
