Out for a cruise |
The locals |
The NVA begin their advance |
US soldiers encounter the jungle for the first time |
NVA unit grind to a halt |
First the armour wouldn't arrive then it leaves its HQ far behind! |
Bravely scouting ahead, probably not a wise choice! |
Ho |
deploying at a strategic cross roads. |
Movement is slow in the jungle |
Oh dear, its not so nice here, first an F4 tries to drop Napalm but is driven off |
Then a heuy tries a gun run and is shot down.. |
However the accurate American artillery restores the balance |
A second NVA battalion heads into the jungle |
Mortar fire cleans up whats left of the battalion trying to cross the river |
The US reach the edge of the woods. |
and advice out into the open. |
Its getting busy in that jungle! |
NVA mortars and artillery make their presence felt. |
All quite at the river. |
The two sides edge closer together |
Massed fire power is poured into the jungle. |
A local farmer seems confused by all the traffic! |
Its Napalm time! |
Up close and personnel! |
US special forces chopper in to take out the mortars! |
No more mortars! |
The US head back into the cover of the jungle. |
More fire power poured into the NVA battalions in the jungle. |
A wave of RPGs strike the American patton. |
The NVA break and call it a day! |
