Beaten from their attempt to dislodge D Company, enemy soldiers threw themselves at A Company but the attack was dispersed with the help of artillery and mortar fire. At 10.15 p.m. the enemy withdrew and, for the next forty-five minutes, there was periodic shelling of the battalion by a self-propelled gun, firing armour-piercing rounds directed mainly along the road.

During the action eleven Russian-made T34/55 tanks and two SU 76 self-propelled guns were destroyed. Of these, three were destroyed by A Company's 3.5-inch rocket launchers and the crew of another was killed by a D Company Bren gunner, the crew attempting to escape when the Bren set fire to the auxiliary petrol tanks. In all cases the tanks were very well camouflaged, as the ridge was thickly wooded with pine trees.

The next morning over 150 enemy bodies were counted still lying around the battalion defensive positions. Total casualties sustained by 3 RAR amounted to nine killed and thirty wounded.

On 30 October 3 RAR advanced to high ground overlooking Chongju. During this advance ten enemy stragglers were taken prisoner and twelve killed. At 3.00 p.m. the Argylls cleared the town without opposition and later the same day the brigade moved into the divisional reserve. Before 3 RAR left the forward area, six high velocity shells landed in the battalion headquarters area. The sixth struck a tree to the rear of C Company's position and a piece of metal seriously wounded the battalion's commanding officer. He was evacuated to the surgical hospital at Anju but later died of his wounds.
