Hue Seen As Next Communist Target In Vietnam War
A senior US officer believes Hue, not Khe Sanh, is the next objective for North Vietnamese forces. Hue and Quang Tri City are cited as key targets near the frontier where four divisions and about 46,000 troops are deployed. The officer notes Hue’s 140,000 residents and the city’s ruined condition, with potential for a psychological victory and gateway to the South. He stresses the enemy is fatigued and facing supply problems, likely to press hit-and-run tactics rather than large-scale offensives.
