The 25th Inf Div killed 14 enemy in a week of light and scattered contact with the enemy. A small force of U.S. and Vietnamese RF soldiers killed nine enemy in Hau Nghia Province on a night operation. Shortly after dark U.S. and ARVN infantrymen on a combined operation moved into an area 17 miles NW of Saigon, near the village of My Than. They were forced to engage and enemy element when observed and three VC were killed. A short time later, the allied unit surrounded a group in an enemy hut. As they told the VC to come outside and raise their hands, two enemy guards tried to reach for their rifles while the others broke and tried to escape. Six enemy were killed in the exchange of fire that ensued. Several VC patrols were detected in the area and the soldiers moved quickly to a pre-planned pick-up one for helicopter extraction.
