$82.50

The Battle of Đồng Xoài was a significant battle during the Vietnam War that took place from June 9 to June 13, 1965. Đồng Xoài is a town located in Bình Phước Province in South Vietnam. This battle was part of the larger conflict between the U.S.-backed government of South Vietnam and the communist forces of North Vietnam and the Viet Cong.

The battle began when the Viet Cong, supported by North Vietnamese troops, launched an attack on the Special Forces Camp at Đồng Xoài.

The camp was defended by a combination of South Vietnamese and American troops, including Green Berets and other American advisors. The Viet Cong's goal was to capture the camp, which was a strategic location due to its proximity to the Cambodian border and the presence of American advisors.

The battle was intense and involved heavy fighting, with both sides suffering significant casualties. The Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces used mortars and infantry attacks to overwhelm the defenders.

Ultimately, the South Vietnamese and American forces had to abandon the camp. The battle was a significant early engagement in the Vietnam War and highlighted the challenges and tactics that would be faced by U.S. and South Vietnamese forces in the years to come.

The Battle of Đồng Xoài is notable for being one of the first major battles of the Vietnam War involving substantial American and South Vietnamese casualties. It served as an early indicator of the protracted and challenging nature of the conflict that would continue for many years.

NLF - National Liberation Front

The Việt Cộng, also known as the NationalLiberation Front (NLF), was a communist political organization with its ownarmy – the People's Liberation Armed Forces of South Vietnam (PLAF) – in SouthVietnam and Cambodia that fought the United States and South Vietnamesegovernments, eventually emerging on the winning side

It had both guerrilla and regular army units,as well as a network of cadres who organized peasants in the territory itcontrolled. Many soldiers were recruited in South Vietnam, but others wereattached to the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN), the regular North Vietnamesearmy.

During the war, communists and anti-waractivists insisted the Việt Cộng was an insurgency indigenous to the South,while the U.S. and South Vietnamese governments portrayed the group as a toolof Hanoi. Although the terminology distinguishes northerners from thesoutherners, communist forces were under a single command structure set up in1958.

North Vietnam established the NationalLiberation Front on December 20, 1960, to grow insurgency in the South. Many ofthe Việt Cộng's core members were volunteer "regroupees", southern ViệtMinh who had resettled in the North after the Geneva Accord (1954).

Hanoi gave the regroupees military training andsent them back to the South along the Ho Chi Minh trail in the early 1960s.

The NLF called for southern Vietnamese to"overthrow the camouflaged colonial regime of the Americanimperialists" and to make "efforts toward the peacefulunification".

The People's Liberation Armed Forces of SouthVietnam (PLAF)'s best-known action was the Tet Offensive, a massive assault onmore than 100 South Vietnamese urban centers in 1968, including an attack onthe U.S. embassy in Saigon.

The offensive riveted the attention of theworld's media for weeks, but also overextended the Việt Cộng. Later communistoffensives were conducted predominantly by the North Vietnamese. Theorganization was dissolved in 1976 when North and South Vietnam were officiallyunified under a communist government.
