    I think there were two direct conflicts between PLA and US troops, both times the Americans were caught by surprise and were forced to retreat. It wasn't even close either time.

    It scared MacArthur so much I believe the same day he started requesting more bombing runs, but there were fears some bombs would hit Manchuria and China would send even more troops. Truman got so scared he asked congress for permission to use atom bombs.
