This article needs more of the Chinese side of the battle. Units, commanders, that sort of thing. Cerebellum ( talk) 14:23, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
The important point this article did not address is why Ridgeway tell 23rd Regiment to hold. It should be expanded to provide the importance of the battle. By my understanding, after Chinese took Seoul, Mao forced Peng to continue south even when PVA supplies are running dangerously low. At the same time, everyone at UN was panicking except Ridgeway, who realized the Chinese supply problem. Ridgeway told the 23rd to hold in order to blunt the Chinese advance, then after this victory he immediate ordered the Eighth Army in a series of counterattacks, which utterly devastated the Chinese during their Fourth Phase Campaign. This point should be expressed in the article to show that this battle is a huge turning point in the Korean War. Jim101 ( talk) 23:55, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
"After Chinese forces entered Korea in November 1950, the UN Forces, uncertain about the intentions and warfighting capabilities of the Chinese, drew back behind the 38th parallel and waited to see what the Chinese would do." Anyone see a problem with this statement in the Background section? Weren't the UN forces defeated by the Chinese at the Battle of Chong'chon River? This statement is misleading because it suggests that the UN forces withdrew without a fight. 98.208.57.195 ( talk) 10:04, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

To me it appears that 9,000 has an extra 0 and should read 900 yards. 9,000 yards is a little over 5 miles and the perimeter of the defense is only about a mile. 900 yards is about 1/2 mile ( 0.5) which seems more reasonable for an attack from within the perimeter. "By 12:30, it was still 9,000 yards from what remained of the earlier counterattack."
At the end of the first day the article says 1st battalion was attacked from the west, but it was on the east side of the perimeter. Seems like west should be east.
"At first light the Chinese renewed their attack in the west, against the 3rd Battalion. " MikeO78 ( talk) 02:46, 8 March 2018 (UTC) ( MikeO78 ( talk) 02:46, 8 March 2018 (UTC))
