After months of fighting, we have reached a new year. The enemy has opened up with 500,000 troops and sent our armies south of the 38th parallel and took control of Seoul once again. Today on February 1st, the Battle of Twin Tunnels began (Evanhoe). The Twin Tunnels are a set of tunnels for railroad in South Korea. I went with the 23rd Infantry Regiment, French Battalion, and 347th Battalion to mitigate area. We lost a lot of men but we killed almost 1,500 Chinese enemies and had a successful day.
The UN has decided to schedule Peace Talks because of the lack of progression in this war. The war has become increasingly bloody with casualties on the rise. Each month that the fighting goes on I become luckier to still be alive. The Peace Talks will include America, China, North Korea, and South Korea (Marcus 67). The talks will begin in August 1951 but are expected to last longer than a year. Hopefully, a negotiation can be made quickly because I want out of this hell that I am stuck in. MacArthur is losing patience as he and Truman begin to quarrel more and more and I see his day as commanding General coming to an end soon.
