Helicopters Reinforce South Vietnamese In Laos Stand
U S helicopters flew into Laos through heavy antiaircraft fire to deliver South Vietnamese Marines and Rangers and pull out infantrymen after four days of fighting. About 2 000 men were moved toward Khe Sanh from jungle areas near Brown and Lolo inside Laos. Firebase A Loui on Route 9 was surrounded and ordered to break out as 160 men faced an imminent assault. U S and South Vietnamese commanders reported high casualties but claimed a rising kill ratio against North Vietnamese forces, while a broader Laotian campaign logged 45 American deaths and 156 wounded in the week.
