이에 가톨릭센터 앞에 모인 시위군중 3천여 명을 앞세운 1전대는 승용차 8대를 탈취하여 방화를 하고, MBC 사옥에 난입한 후 MBC 방송국 경비병을 습격하며 M-16소총 1정과 실탄 15발을 탈취하였다. 2전대는 역전 파출소, 도문동 파출소, 양동 파출소, 일동 파출소를 기습해 파괴하고, 방화했으며 이런 과격한 시위를 본 흥분한 군중들은 더 악을 쓰면서 모여들었다.
그러나 나주에서 올라온 보고를 받은 여장 지휘관(리을설)은 안색이 변해 급히 평양으로 무전 보고를 했고, 저녁 무렵이 되자 부관을 불러 작전 중단을 지시했다. 그 이유는 나주에서 교도소를 공격할 부대가 도로가 봉쇄되자 진로를 멋대로 변경하여 작전에 차질이 생겼기 때문이었는데, 부관은 잠시 후에 여장 지휘관(리을설)에게 '시내에 군중들이 너무 많이 불어나 작전을 중단할 수가 없다'고 보고를 했다.
광주시내 상황은 7공수여단 33대대 병력 330명이 5,000여 명의 시위대에 포위 공격을 받고 2명의 부상자가 발생하자 도청으로 후퇴했고, 17시 30분경 카톨릭센터 앞에서는 1,000여 명의 시위 군중이 계엄군의 장갑차를 포위하고 투석과 폭행을 하여 장갑차에 타고 있던 병사가 겁에 질려 도망가고, 이 과정에서 계엄군 1명이 중상을 입고 장갑차와 계엄군이 소지하고 있던 M-16 소총이 피탈되었다. 부슬비가 내리기 시작하는 밤 11시가 되어서야 겨우 조용해져 갔다.
5월 19일은 연-고대생 600명의 무장봉기 작전도 실패했고, 진압하던 공수부대의 진압 작전도 실패하면서 하루가 지나갔다. (pp. 63-64)
In response, the first squadron, led by 3,000 protesters gathered in front of the Catholic Center, hijacked and set fire to eight passenger cars, broke into the MBC building and attacked the MBC station guards, capturing one M-16 rifle and 15 rounds of live ammunition. The second squadron ambushed, destroyed, and set fire to the terminal station police station, the Domun-dong police station, the Yangdong police station, and the Il-dong police station, and the agitated crowds who saw these violent demonstrations gathered to do worse.
However, after receiving the report from Naju, the cross-dressed commander (Ri Eul-sul) became agitated and quickly radioed Pyongyang, and by evening, she called her deputy and ordered the operation to be canceled. The reason for this was that the unit that was to attack the prison from Naju had changed its course when the road was blocked, causing a disruption in the operation.
The situation in Gwangju City was even worse when 330 troops from the 33rd Battalion of the 7th Airborne Brigade were surrounded by more than 5,000 protesters and retreated to Dochung after suffering two injuries, and at around 17:30, in front of the Catholic Center, a crowd of more than 1,000 protesters surrounded an armored personnel carrier of the regime, stoning and assaulting it, causing the soldier in the vehicle to flee in fear, seriously wounding one of the regime's soldiers and capturing the vehicle and the M-16 rifle it was carrying. It was not until 11 p.m., when a light rain began to fall, that things finally quieted down.
May 19 passed as the armed uprising of 600 students from Yeonsei University and Korea University failed, as did the suppression of the airborne troops who were attempting to quell it. (pp. 63-64)

Please tell the US the truth about the Gwangju 518 War.
The secret government of the three-party system currently ruling Korea is the Cheongjukhoe, a spy organization at the Korean Army Academy that played a leading role in the Gwangju 518 War.
