In 1952, large scale confrontation between People's Volunteer Army and the forces of the United Nations began in Korea.

The plan was laid down by Western Enterprises Inc (WEI), a "private" company in Taiwan which it was assumed pertained to, and under the direct control of, the CIA.

After having gathered a sizeable amount of evidence, the plan was to attack the Nanri Island during the duty takeover time period of the PLA, as there would have been only a single company of about 300 soldiers left on the island; a negligible strength of troops which would be capable to mount a successful and effective defence.

During the battle, the PLA sent two battalions and two companies of reinforcements from the mainland, consisting of over 1,000 soldiers to Nanri Island.

The raid failed, largely because the civilian junks the guerillas used as amphibious lift dropped the troops too far at sea and left them stranded there.
