The VC swept down like a pack of hungry wolves upon Kontum, its garrison and the nearby ARVN army base.
Lacking any decent artillery and with shaky morale the City of Kontum defenders were quite quickly overrun despite the defenders of the central compound putting up a good fight. The Army base never fell as the ARVN kept a big garrison there but by then the damage had been done.
