Fire Base 6 Battle Shifts as South Vietnamese Hold
South Vietnamese troops repulsed a North Vietnamese commando assault on Fire Base 6 near Dak To in the central highlands. Agency reports say 12 enemy commandos were killed, while defenders seized rifles and rocket launchers. Four hours after the attack, jets bombed enemy positions north of the base, with at least 20 more enemy soldiers killed. U.S. paratroopers from the 173rd Airborne Brigade clashed with enemy forces east of Saigon, and a U.S. air cavalryman was killed in a patrol near Pleiku. Fire Base 6 later remained under siege, with Vietnamese forces retaking the base the following day.
