Korean War/CCF Intervention (1950-51)/X-Corps Withdrawal
From Month/Year
November / 1950
To Month/Year
December / 1950
Description
Late in November, across the snow that heralded a harsh North Korean winter, the Chinese struck. Attacking largely at night, the Chinese--though they suffered tremendous casualties--rapidly dislodged the Eighth Army and X Corps.
In the east, X Corps units were withdrawn by sea from the ports of Hungnam and Wonsan. Surrounded far inland, the lst Marine Division reached Hungnam in one of the great fighting retreats of history. In the west, by land and sea, the Eighth Army also fell back. By the end of December the United Nations forces had been pushed back to a line just south of the 38th parallel. In the face of a renewed Chinese offensive, they withdrew from Seoul and the Han River line early in January 1951.
