War in the Central Highlands: North Vietnamese Drive
AP Special Correspondent Peter Arnett reports a major North Vietnamese offensive in the central highlands. 20 tanks from Laos, heavy artillery, and a planned campaign target Kontum Pleiku and Binh Dinh as Saigon battles to blunt a long-simmering threat. With air power, regiments, and supplies, Hanoi aims to isolate highland cities and control key routes, while US and ARVN forces face slow mobilization and uncertain endurance.
