Marines Fight Off Paddies Siege Near Da Nang
Three Marine companies, about 450 men, were pinned down for eight hours in sun baked paddies near Vinh Huey No. 2 in the Hiep Duc Valley south of Da Nang. They fought rockets, mortars, and machine guns as NVA units sheltered in a hamlet defended like a fortress. Casualties rose to 50 killed and 313 wounded among the Marines. NVA losses were at least 252 confirmed killed. A company commander refused to abandon wounded and attacked machine gun nests, losing his life with 10 men.
