Americans Fight Across Two South Vietnam Fronts in Heavy Week of War
In a six day clash across two border regions thousands of U S troops battled Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces. Paratroopers of the 101st Airborne and allied units assaulted Laotian frontier bunkers near the A Shau Valley aiming to choke off NVA infiltration and support lines to Da Nang and Huế. Across the A Shau, 125 NVA killed while 37 Americans died and 187 wounded. In Saigon area forces pushed through jungle to dislodge NVA 1st Division entrenched in bunkers near the An Loc corridor. The operation, part of Operation Apache Snow, underscores the allied effort to disrupt the valley’s supply base and prevent offensives toward major cities.
