[WIP] "Frozen Chosin" USMC-KTO Pt2 Campaign
#5

Lt. Summers You Need ShipPack2. For the quickest most accurate fix please look for a thread for a download of ShipPack2, OR, in the alternative make a new thread and ask for someone to point you in the right direction. Whats happening is that you do no have the mod needed for the carrier used in this campaign. Get the mod, you will have the carrier, then your plan will spawn on a ship rather than falling into the sea.

Yesterday the 1st Marine Division began to move forward as ordered, but was immedatly halted by an overwhelming ChiCom force. Last night the Chinese launched violent assaults, not merely upon the 1stMarDivs leaning elements, but for thirty miles down its main, indeed, only supply route to the coast.
*
Last night really tested the men at Yudam-ni, when what seems to be three ChiCom divisions fell upon two Marine regiments, the Fifth and Seventh. The enemy cut the road to Hagaru and sent their assault battalions in quilted uniforms and sneakers into the Marine lines with disregard for casualties. Not even the envelopment of the Marine command post slowed the tempo of the fighting and the Marines staged vicious counterattacks even when many platoons had been reduced to the size of squads. The reports say that there were not enough tents for the Marine wounded and the less seriously hurt were piled outside, close together for warmth, covered with straw and tarpaulins as doctors worked over the more than five hundred casualties.

This morning the Marines were holding three isolated perimeters: at Yudam-ni, farthest north; at Hagaru, on the base of the reservoir, and at Koto-ri, another ten miles south. It's become apparent that the 1stMarDiv's predicament is precarious. They are facing a very large Chinese force possibly ten times their size. Hagaru, with its airstrip and supply dumps, at the junction of the only escape route south, is defended only by one Marine battalion of the First Marines. The rest of Puller's First Marines have formed a Perimeter around Koto-ri some ten miles south.
*
Puller has discovered an enemy column on pack mules moving through a wooded gorge northwest of Koto-ri, an artillery train. Now that the animals have fully decended into the pass Chesty Puller has called in VMF-311 to make sure no survivors emerge from the gorge. Right now the Marines have relief in the center of their perimeters because mortors are the heaviest weapons the Chinese have used so far. We can not allow the Chinese to start shelling Koto-ri as it is the only escape for the 1stMarDiv.
