Massive Viet Cong stronghold siege by 1st Infantry Division
A U S spotter plane is downed as 8000 American troops and allied forces converge on a 15 square mile Viet Cong stronghold north west of Saigon. Tanks armored carriers and helicopters support the assault while artillery, gas and booby traps complicate the advance. Civilians are coerced from tunnels and a refugee evacuation begins as Viet Cong defenses, trenches and tunnel networks reveal a stubborn underground network. The operation aims to sever VC supply and command lines amid heavy combat and casualties.
