[Binh Gia, 67 km SW of Saigon South Vietnam]: [SIDE A / H2H] [HIS] [CSL]:
While there was political unrest in Saigon, the Communist leadership in North Vietnam and the NLF were formulating plans to fight the South. Besides actions in the Mekong Delta, the Viet Cong were ordered to conduct other military operations in South Vietnam as part of their Winter-Spring Offensive.
Since July, the new Viet Cong 271st and 272nd Regiments had overrun a number of strategic hamlets, including Xan Sang, Cam Xe, Dog Xa and Thai Khai.
The next target for the 271st Regiment was the fortified village of Binh Gia in Phuoc Tuy Province. The village of roughly 6,000 Roman Catholics that fled from North Vietnam and resettled.
The 1st Battalion of the 271st Regiment started their assault in the early morning hours. The defending Popular Force units were overwhelmed and retreated into the bunkers near the village parish.
Reinforcements, in the form of the 30th Ranger Battalion, were helicoptered with helicopters of the 118th Aviation Company and attempted to retake the village.
