After a daylong siege near Fire Base 6, about 40 South Vietnamese troops swarmed the hilltop base as a helicopter evacuated four U.S. advisers. Eight boarded, others clung to skids but were pushed off. The lone remaining adviser stayed with roughly 500 South Vietnamese defenders as a 4000-man relief force arrived. The fighting, north of Fire Base 6, raged into midday Wednesday with Saigon reporting about 9% North Vietnamese killed in 16 hours of combat. U.S. and ally airstrikes and artillery accounted for roughly 50 enemy dead.
