[Nui Go Giap, 12 km NE of Bien Hoa, South Vietnam]: [SIDE A / H2H] [HIS] [CSL]:
Elements of the Viet Cong Liberation battalion had been operating northeast of Bien Hoa, harassing the civilians in the villages of Xa Dai An (1) and Xa Dai An (2).
The 3rd Battalion of the 9th ARVN Infantry Regiment were tasked with clearing the villages and hunting down the Viet Cong as they fled into the wooded hills to the east of the villages. After a short clash at Xa Dai An (2), the Viet Cong seemed to melt away into the hills, giving the lead company of 3rd Battalion wishful thinking of a short operation.
The remaining companies began their cross-country advance towards the dominant hill in the area, Nui Go Giap. The rolling hills with crisscrossing streams allowed ample opportunity for ambushing the advancing forces. It wasn't long before the ARVN battalion was becoming bogged down on the slopes.
While they tried to keep the attack pressing, their savior for the day would be the 105mm artillery batteries that were on the way from Saigon.

The wooded hillsides prevent the ARVN from moving and firing in the same turn so they suffer from both OP Fire on their own turn when meeting concealed VC and then further fire on the VC turn. This almost always results in them retreating due to poor morale and the process has to be repeated.
