The
Battle of Chipyong-ni , also known as the
Battle of Dipingli , was a decisive battle of the Korean War, that took place from 13–15 February 1951 between American and French units of the
US 23rd Infantry Regiment and various units of the Chinese
People's Volunteer Army (PVA) around the village of Chipyong-ni, present-day
Jipyeong-ri. The result was a
United Nations Command victory. The battle, along with the Third Battle of Wonju, has been called "the
Gettysburg of the Korean War," and represents the "high-water mark" of the Chinese incursion into Korea. Due to the ferocity of the Chinese attack and the heroism of the defenders, the battle has also been called, "...one of the greatest regimental defense actions in military history."
