As much as I agreed that Kap'Yong was a major turning point in the Korean War, it was NOT the pitch battle that many others were in history. 2 PPCLI was fresh while the Chinese divisions were exhausted. We had the NZ battery support while the Chinese only had infantry.

The truth was that even if the Chinese had managed to overwhelm 2 PPCLI, they were done. They could not do anything more. They were that exhausted.
