With the arrival of substantial reinforcements from the U.S. and it's allies; the Eighth Army plans it's first counter-offensive northwest towards Taejong. Before this attack can be initiated, the Route 1 bridges across the Kumgang River must be repaired to support heavy equipment. Complicating this is that the heights on the west bank of the Kumgang are dominated by two structures- a World War II vintage Japanese fort and a Buddhist Religious Center.*
*
The Italian Lugunari Regiment; attached to Eighth Army, is tasked with crossing the Kumgang in an early dawn assault, establishing a bridgehead by capturing the two positions and holding against the expected local Chinese counter-attack from the southwest. Italian Marine commandos (COMSUBIN) will infiltrate the lines pre-dawn and be in position to attack the Religious Center in conjunction with the opening of the assault.*
