Twice within five days they assembled V.C. and North Vietnamese army regulars in regimental numbers and struck at government units along Route One north of Qui Nhon. Hardly had the shooting started when allied planes spewing fire and metal were on top of the Communists. The result: one of Hanoi's worst beatings of the war, with some 700 enemy dead in one engagement alone. At week's end the desperate Viet Cong tried another regimental assault, this time in the Delta, 30 miles...
