...miles along Route 6, which stretches like a muddy arrow through the countryside's monsoon-flooded paddies, the force ran into heavy enemy resistance at the hamlet of Tang Kauk. After losing 19 dead and 124 wounded in an eight-hour firefight, the government forces fell back to regroup. Closing in, Communist sappers blew up bridges in front and behind the column. Temporarily marooned, the humbled task force retreated two miles. At week's end, as the task force repaired bridges and prepared for another push, enemy forces operating out of Tang Kauk opened strong attacks against...

...effective Soviet PT-76 tanks had begun their final attack, smashing through the camp's barbed-wire perimeter and crushing all resistance. In his last message, a wounded Laotian radio operator called in air strikes on his own position. The surviving defenders fled west, but were unable to regroup. By noon, the entire plain and its important road network were in the hands of the North Vietnamese...
