The Assault on the bridgehead was made but just as infantry with APC support engaged the enemy more NVA appeared on both flanks and with a barrage of fire caused great losses to the armour. The confusion and chaos caused nearly stopped the assault dead in it's tracks but I gave the order for the reserve companies in hueys to drop behind the marauders and in doing so inflicted losses on the enemy. Manouvering in my Cobra along with 3 others in support we then made a dash at the enemy and all but wiped out the threat. Highway 55 was now considered taken but reports were coming in of fresh attacks mounted in areas we had already passed through. Two assaults on hilltops were still continuing and with some more drops on the far sides behind the enemy's entrenchments hope was that with some more time and air support eventually the objectives would be met. But the losses sustained so far had been more than was acceptable and victory looked as though it would belong to the fire breathing dragon.
