Reds Mangled In Assault On U S Fire Base
North Vietnamese forces mounted a fierce two day attack on Fire Base Creek near Cambodia four miles from the Cambodian border and 65 miles northwest of Saigon. U S casualties were about 100 dead and 300 wounded with 107 South Vietnamese dead and 379 wounded. General Abrams said the surge was not a new summer offensive but a psychological push to strain Nixon and Thieu at the Midway conference. About 1,300 enemy troops were reported killed in the two days.
