Military sources said the

were beaten back. About half
the tanks were destroyed by
anti-tank weapons and air
strikes, the sources said.
They said the fighting, that
started under cover of a dawn
barrage of 500 mortar and
rocket shells, continued
throughout the day by dusk was

including the shelling of the
U.S. bases.
A relief column of 5,000 South
Vietnamese paratroopers and
tanks has been stalled 18 miles
south of An Loc for the past
three days. UPI correspondent
Leon Daniel reported from the
area that the column was
hardly moving and quoted U.S.
advisers as estimating it would
take until Tuesday to reach the
besieged provincial capital.
The commander of the relief
force’s tanks, Lt. Col. Truong
Huu Due, was killed today
while in a helicopter above the
column. A Communist machine
gun bullet fired from the
ground hit him in the forehead,
killing him instantly.
