Viet Cong Tet Era Light Fighting Cuts
American recon helicopters reported 100 North Vietnamese troops moving near Saigon, with 23 killed by gunships and artillery. Eight enemy groups were spotted moving southwest as Tet nears, while cease-fire plans hinge on a four day Viet Cong truce. Casualties on the allied side were light, and intelligence links the Dong Nai Regiment to the action north of Saigon. The Mekong Delta saw a market bombing that killed three and wounded 13. President Thieu foresees eventual peace, claiming Communist weakness.
