[Kontum, Kontum Province, South Vietnam]: [SIDE A / H2H] [HIS] [CSL]:
In the Central Highlands of Vietnam, the Viet Cong had stepped up their attacks on the various district towns and villages, gaining valuable experience against the Civil Guard units, collecting weapons and supplies.
The recent buildup of Viet Cong forces combined with the additional weapons and supplies paved the way for larger, well-organized forces. In the largest attack to date, two newly formed Viet Cong battalions assaulted the Central Highlands city of Kontum in an effort to collect more weapons and supplies.
A battalion of the 41st Infantry Regiment and Civil Guard companies were defending the area. Heavy fighting ensued in the outskirts and into the city itself, pushing the survivors into a small pocket that held out until a two-battalion relief force made its way to Kontum to recapture the city.

The atmosphere of the isolated garrison in the hills trying to hold against an unexpected attack was excellent though.
