Massive Firepower
Red Siege At Con
I By LEWIS M. SIMONS
SAIGON. (API—North Vietnam’s
regulars have taken a beating—a
Dien Bien Phu in reverse—in the
jsttle of Con Thien, U.S. military
mthorities announced Wednesday.
MASSIVE AMERICAN fire
power was officially credited
nith breaking the back of the
nonth-long artillery siege of Con
Thien and other Marine outposts
overlooking Red infiltration
routes just below the demilitar
ized zone.
Mud-stained Leathernecks help
ed in static defense, a posture
alien to their combat training,
to turn the tables against poten
tial invasion of the strategic
upper tier of South Vietnam’s
provinces. There was the caution,
however, that Ho Chi Minh’s
forces may try again to wipe out
Marine lines with the help of
Viet Cong and infiltrated North
Vietnamese in the hinterland be
low the DMZ.
GEN. WILLIAM C. Westmore-
Breaks
Thien
land, the U.S. commander, told
newsmen in Da Nang the enemy
has suffered a crushing defeat,
but there may be such a “resur
gence of effort.”
In air operations U.S. squad
rons, which struck as close as
10 miles to Red China’s frontier
Tuesday and bombed two bridges
that the Pentagon had previous
ly ruled off limits, lashed again
at North Vietnam.
A broadcast dispatch from Ha
noi, unconfirmed bjf American
authorities in Saigon, declared
eight planes were shot down.
The North Vietnamese said four
of the eight fell during attacks
on the repeatedly raided port of
Haiphong.
Westmoreland and Cushman,
who met in Da Nang, and Ameri
can spokesmen in Saigon assessed
gains in the DMZ phase of a war
that is again under critical exam
ination in the U.S. Senate.
INTELLINGENCE sources es
timated the Communists had lost
3,000 men killed or wounded,
nearly three times the casualties
among the Marines, since launch
ing daily barrages against Con
Thien Sept. 1.
Spokesmen said that, though
there was no sign of a general
withdrawal of the 35,000 North
Vietnamese estimated to be based
in and near the DMZ, aerial re
connaissance showed groups in
retreat from abandoned gun pits.
Westmoreland told a Washing
ton Star reporter: “They tried to
make another Dien Bien Phu of
Con Thien. Instead, we made it
a Dien Bien Phu in reverse.”
THE ARTILLIERY concentrat-
ted by the North Vietnamese
against Con Thien was their
heaviest since defeat of a French
force in 1954 at Dien Bien Phu,
in the hills west of Hanoi, led
France to pull out of Indochina.
But the Red barrages, at times
topping 1,000 rounds a day, were
far outweighed by the American
counterfire.
Land-based U.S. artillery lob
bed 6,000 shells daily at known
and suspected Communist posi
tions, and hundreds of others in
direct duelling with Communist
guns. U.S. 7th Fleet warships
hurled in shells from the sea.
B52 Stratofortresses cast down
more than 7,500 tons of explosives
and their little brothers, the jet
fighter-bombers, swarmed in
squadron by squadron. Westmore
land has called this the heaviest
concentration of conventional fire
power in history.
Elsewhere action was generally
light and scattered.
U.S. PILOTS flew 106 missions
over North Vietnam Tuesday de
spite spotty weather.
