Red Siege Falters Amid Allied Counterattack at Ben Het
On Tuesday North Vietnamese gunners held the Ben Het Green Beret camp siege into its 50th day with light ar tillery. An Allied counterattack by about 3,000 South Vietnamese troops formed a bulge around Red positions, destroying bunkers and spider holes used to resupply the besieged camp. B-52s fighters and fighter bombers pounded Communist positions in near continuous attacks while the artillery barrage weakened to eight to ten shells. Elsewhere fronts were generally quiet.
