[Bec Trang, 14 km SW of Vi Thanh, South Vietnam]: [SIDE A / H2H] [HIS] [CSL]:

The Viet Cong increased operations in the Mekong Delta, raiding villages, collecting taxes and rice for their forces.

The ARVN 7th Division had moved into the Mekong Delta to combat these incursions. Elements of the ARVN 17th Regiment were operating between Vi Thanh and Cau Mau along Route 12 in search and destroy operations.

After clearing the area around Vinh Tuy, the regiment mounted up and headed back to Vi Thanh to billet for the night.

The newly built Viet Cong U Minh battalion had recently moved into the area looking for a fight. The explosion of the lead vehicle in the convoy revealed the ARVN force will have to run the gauntlet to get home.
