Nevada Complex, North Korea 1953-05-28 (0 others)

Overview:

On 25 May, after the UN Command had made its final offer at the Panmunjom truce talks, CPVA artillery opened up on the Nevada Complex. For the next three days, shells came in with growing frequency, and CPVA troop movements in the area also increased. Brigadier General Sirri Acar, now in command of the Turkish Brigade, secured American artillery support to counter the CPVA concentrations. Following an intense artillery and mortar preparation, the 120th Division sent four battalions forward, two to the east against the main objective, Vegas, one to the south against Carson and Elko. As the night wore on, Elko held out against continuing Chinese attacks, but the Turkish soldiers on Carson were being gradually eliminated. A few managed to slip over and join their comrades on Elko, but the majority died in the trenches and bunkers from CPVA fire. By morning, Carson belonged to the Communists.
