Wow, @koreanwar17, this is an incredibly compelling piece of history! Diving into these original Korean War military orders is fascinating. The raw language and directness of the commands – especially the urgency in halting the enemy's advance and the specific mention of using "석유병" (Molotov cocktails) against armored vehicles – really brings the intensity of that moment to life.
It's amazing to see these primary source documents preserved and shared. For anyone interested in Korean War history, this post offers a rare glimpse into the operational decisions being made at the time. I'm particularly intrigued by the shift in focus from Jeollabuk-do to Hadong. What led to that change in strategy?
Thank you for sharing this important piece of your history! I'm eager to see what other historical treasures you uncover! What other documents or information do you plan on sharing with us?
