The next day at 0645 the 5th Marines accompanied by the Recon Marines successfully crossed the Han River. New plans had been drawn up with the knowledge that the enemy was at battalion strength on the other side. The crossing of the 3rd Battalion in LVTs was preceded by a heavy barrage of artillery from the 11th Marines. Under heavy small arms, automatic and mortar fire that came from Hill 125 across the river to the right, the 3rd Battalion moved rapidly forward.
