b. 한국 국방경비대 본부는 1949년 5월 3일 대략 15시경 개성 북쪽과 서쪽 양 방면의 38선 부근에서 총격전이 벌어졌다고 보고했다. 소규모 접전은 상황이 종료되었다고 보고된 1949년 5월 6일 오전까지 지속되었다. 더욱이 국방경비대 본부는 적 300-400명이 사망했다고 주장했다. 이러한 교전이 벌어지는 동안에 국방경비대 본부는 아군 측 사상자는 17명이 사망했고 31명이 부상당했다고 보고했다. 다른 작전에서 발생한 사상자는 다음과 같다. 지리산 지역에서 6명이 사망했거나 부상당했으며 6명이 생포되었다. 제주도에서는 11명이 사망했거나 부상당했으며 372명이 생포되었다.
논평 : 한국 국방경비대가 (게릴라 사상자 수를) 과장해 온 과거 경력과 경향에 근거해 볼 때, 본관은 개성에서 벌어진 총격전으로 발생한 적 사망자가 50~100명 사이일 것으로 추정한다.

b. Korean Constabulary Headquarters reports that at approximately 1500 hours, 3 May 1949, a fire fight began in the vicinity of the 38° North Parallel, north and west of Kaesong (950.8-1690.8) Skirmishing continued until morning of 6 May 1949 at which time the situation was reported stabilized. Constabulary Headquarters further states 300-400 enemy killed. During this engagement Constabulary Headquarters reports their own casualties at 17 killed and 31 wounded. Casualties in other operations were; 6 killed or wounded and 6 captured in the Chiri-San area (1073-1375); 11 killed or wounded and 372 captured at Cheju-DO (915-1151). Comments: Based upon past experience and the tendency of the Korean Constabulary to
exaggerate, this office estimates the enemy killed in the fire fight at Kaesong to be between 50 and 100.

b. Korean Constabulary Headquarters reports during the period 5 through 12 May 1949, 67 guerrillas killed or wounded and 42 captured in the Chiri-San area (1073-1375); 532 killed or wounded in the area adjacent to and south of the 38° North Parallel; and 2 killed or wounded and 47 captured at Cheju-Do (915-1151). Total for the period, 601 killed or wounded and 89 captured. Comment: The 532 killed or wounded in the area adjacent to and south of the 380 North Parallel include the figures reported by Korean Constabulary units for the action that took place north of and in the vicinity of Kaesong (950.8-1690.8) during 3 to 6 May 1949. This office regards these figures as exaggerated.
