During late July 1950, the US 24th Infantry Division conducted a retrograde action against advancing North Korean forces. By early August, the 24th Division had reached its final defensive position along the Naktong River Line. On the night of 5-6 August, elements of the North Korean 4th Infantry Division crossed the Naktong River and pressed toward Obong-ni. Local counterattacks by the US 24th Division contained the attackers but could not destroy the North Korean bridgehead. Fighting seesawed until mid August. From 17-19 August the 24th Division and the US 5th Marine Regiment attacked and destroyed the enemy.
