Reds Suffer Heavy Toll At Khe Sanh
SAIGON AP veteran North Vietnamese troops believed based in Laos suffered heavy casualties in a weekend of fierce assaults on U S Marine hill out posts in Vietnam. The U S Command in Saigon counted 25 enemy killed, while Marine field reports hover around 128 dead. Marine losses stood at 14 killed and 43 wounded evacuated. The battles began Saturday at Khe Sanh and peaked Sunday with an attack by over 200 North Vietnamese on Hill 861, later targeting the Khe Sanh air strip. Bombing by B 52s and fighter aircraft aided the Marines as one A 4 Skyhawk was shot down but crew rescued. Two Marines helicopters were damaged when rockets hit the base huts. The clash cooled by Sunday night and resumed only in sniper fire today. Bombing raids then targeted camps 16 miles north of Khe Sanh. In a separate two hour fight near Lai Khe, 23 miles north of Saigon, Army 25th Division troops reported 27 Viet Cong killed and 23 wounded.
