[Chu Pong Massif, Pleiku Province, South Vietnam]: [SIDE A] [HIS] [CSL]:
The 1st/7th Cavalry had landed in Landing Zone X-Ray, and survived the multiple assaults by the eager 9th Battalion/66th Regiment.
During the night, positions were dug, ammunition was resupplied, and the wounded and dead were evacuated. At dawn, the 1st/7th Cavalry commander orders his company commanders to meet him prior to an attack to rescue the still cut-off platoon.
Before this meeting takes place, the PAVN launch a heavy attack which shatters the early-morning stillness like a huge explosion. The attack is carried out by the 7th/66th Regiment and the H-15 Main Force Viet Cong Battalion.
In the chaos that ensues, it isn't long before the code word "Broken Arrow" is sent out over the radio by the Battalion Forward Air Controller.
Within minutes, all available fighter bombers in South Vietnam are headed for X-Ray to render close air support to "an American unit in grave danger of being overrun".
