十月十七日下午,在朝鮮西線美軍騎兵第七團第一營的駐地,有一個悽慘的場面。在美國“歷史上有名的”騎兵第七團,從十月三日到十二日參加“秋季攻勢”的結果,在短短的十天中所遭受的傷亡,“等於以往六個月的戰鬥傷亡”,該團“第一、第二和第三營的前線步兵都只剩下了半數”(美聯社)。 On the afternoon of October 17, there was a miserable scene at the station of the 1st Battalion of the 7th Regiment of the U.S. Cavalry on the Western North Korea. The casualties suffered by the Seventh Cavalry Regiment, famous in the history of the United States, for participating in the “fall offensive” from October 3 to December 12 in just ten days were “equal to the fighting in the past six months Casualties ”, leaving just one-half of the front-line infantry in the first, second and third battalions of the regiment" (Associated Press).
