[Binh Gia, 67 km SW of Saigon South Vietnam]: [SIDE A / H2H] [HIS] [CSL]:
The previous days battle saw the 30th Ranger Battalion be mauled and split between the parish area and the outskirts of the western side of the village. The Viet Cong were reinforced by another battalion of the 271st Regiment and had dug in in preparation for another assault by Government forces.
Due to the shortage of helicopters and the long transit times from Bien Hoa, only a company at a time could be transported. The 38th ARVN battalion landed unopposed to the south of the Binh Gia and the 4th ARVN Marine Battalion, the "Killer Sharks", had their first company on the ground, securing their Landing Zone to the northwest.
The 38th Rangers began their assault on the village and ended up spending the whole day fighting against the entrenched Viet Cong. Only when the 4th Marines started their attack did the Viet Cong begin to falter.
With gunships and air support, the ARVN units eventually pushed the Viet Cong back into the Quang Giao Plantation.
