[Trang Sup, 8 km NW of Tah Ninh, South Vietnam]: [SIDE A / H2H] [HIS] [CSL]:
In the early hours after the Tet of 1960, the Viet Cong attacked the headquarters of the 32nd Regiment at their post near the village of Trang Sup (Tua Hai), to the northwest of Tah Nihn. With much of the ARVN soldiers on leave still recovering from the previous night’s festivities, the assault by the Viet Cong Liberation Battalion came as a surprise.
The purposes were to start a new phase of the conflict and show that the Viet Cong could defeat the South Vietnamese Army with ease. A response to the attack was delayed for the same reason.
While the defenders fought bravely, they were overrun. The raid was intended to capture supplies and arm, the successful Viet Cong made off with about 350 rifles, 30 Browning automatic rifles, 150 carbines, 40 pistols, 2 machine guns, 2 mortars, and large quantities of ammunition.
