On August 8, a battalion of infantry of the 12th Regiment (10th Brigade) had reached the port of Genzan, with a company of artillery, destination: Seoul.  But having communicated with Lieutenant-General Nozu, announcing their coming, they were sent back to Sak-riong to reinforce the Battalion of the Mixed Brigade stationed there.  From that moment, this united force became known as the Sak-riong Detachment, consisting of two battalions of infantry and one company of artillery.  It formed the right flank during the attack on Pyong-Yang.
