September 6, 1950

In the 7th Cavalry Sector heavy rains slowed the withdrawal and persistent 
enemy attacks took a heavy toll.  During this, "G" Company on Hill 464 is 
cut off from the 2nd Battalion and the 2nd Battalion is cut off from the 
7th Cavalry Regiment. Meanwhile in the 8th Cavalry sector the North Koreans 
advance and occupy Hill 570 2 miles southwest of Ka-san and overlooking the 
Taegu road.  At the same time other North Korean units establish a 
roadblock 3 miles south of Tabu-dong.  Later in the afternoon the roadblock 
is destroyed and surrounding hills cleared of North Koreans.

In the northeast the 19th Infantry, 24th Division, arrived at Kyongju 
shortly after midnight.  The rest of the division arrived in the next few 
hours.
