Operation YELLOWSTONE
Hau Nghia Province, III Corps, South Vietnam
Location, Cu Chi
Description: The following is an edited version from the weekly Vietnam Communique column in the 27 Jan 1968 issue.
Under cover of a mortar and rocket attack, an estimated enemy battalion attempted to overrun the night camp of the 1/27th Inf, 2d Bde six miles northwest of Cu Chi. The attack, which began shortly after midnight, left 103 enemy dead. At dawn, the 2/27th Inf reinforced and made a concentrated search of the area. In other action, the Dau Tien base camp of the 3rd Bde was hit by enemy small arms, automatic weapons, and rocket fire. Return fire by American infantrymen was restricted to small arms and automatic weapons fire because the VC were firing from the security of a nearby hamlet. In Operation Yellowstone, ground forces reported several small contacts with VC elements as they continued to probe near the Cambodian border. Five enemy were killed by a company of the 4/9th Inf.
