VO: "From Korea, South Korean patrols probe enemy defenses at the Injin River north of Seoul. This was the lull before the communists struck and broke through here on their way to capture the capital. Artillery and mines could not stop the Chinese Red horde. A few prisoners are captured, members of advanced units. Among them, a Chinese soldier, a North Korean nurse, and a North Korean soldier. Just before Seoul fell, raw recruits were drilled, men drafted from the stream of refugees heading south."
