The Chinese attacking Triangle
hill struck with three battalions,
but two of the battalions withdrew
after an hour of savage fighting,
possibly to regroup, a front dis
patch said. The third battalion still
was attacking early Friday.
On adjacent Sniper Ridge, 2,000
Chlneses Reds had burst from a
deep, uphill tunnel and seized the
crest known as Pinpoint Hill.
But Allied forces rallied and re
captured it with clubbed rifles snd
cold steel.
THOUSANDS
Thousands of rounds of artillery
fire from both sides churned the
rocky summit into sand during the
savage fighting and was continuing
without letup. An Eighth Army
staff officer said it probably would
rate as the most intense shelling
of the war.
The Allied troops were dug- In
50 yards down the slope from the
summit of Pinpoint, taking cover
from the hall of shells which blist
ered the crest.

They drove the Chinese off that
highest peak of Sniper Ridge at
mid-afternoon under Red artillery
and mortar shelling described by
the officer as "very deadly."
Then they spilt into three assault
forces and tried to smash the Chi
nese all the way back to the Yoke,

ing the northern end of 1 !i-mie-long
Sniper Ridge.
But intense Communist shelling
and small arms fire turned back
the assault forces.
The Eighth Army said Its troops

weeks of October to 32.885. That

out of a long tunnel which opened
near .the summit of Pinpoint and
forced the Allied defenders off the

They struck without warntne tn
their first major daylight assault
of the furious, seesaw battle. The
shell-proof tunnel protected the
Reds Irom Allied artillery snarp-

Burrowing like ants, the Chinese
started their turmel under an over

tne summit.
They swarmed out of the mouth,
