This article needs more of the Chinese side of the battle. Units, commanders, that sort of thing. Cerebellum (talk) 14:23, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to work on it, but I can't touch this article until Battle of Ch'ongch'on River and Third Battle of Seoul are finished. In the meantime, does anyone have time to read the book I put up in the reference? It is THE most authoritative account of the battle. Jim101 (talk) 22:19, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have the time to dig the records, but judging from the map in the article, Chinese 39th and 40th Corps was involved in the battle, and the map imples a total Chinese strength of 4 regiments with 12,000 soldiers. Chinese commanders should be the same as the one I put up in Battle of Unsan. Also, this battle is far more important than this article implies, it should be considered as a major battle with far more detail. Jim101 (talk) 22:33, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'll work on it. Thanks for the info! Cerebellum (talk) 22:48, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If you really want to dig deeper on the Chinese side of the battle, I recommand you read Shrader, Charles R. (1995). Communist Logistics in the Korean War. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press. ISBN 0-313-29509-3. My grandfather fought around there during this battle, and this book tells you exactly what my grandfather told me everytime: Chinese were fighting on 10 rifle rounds per person with no food, and it is the reason why the UN managed to hold out here.
