Their</p> <p>mission was to locate and rescue two understrength and isolated companies</p> <p>of felow Marines who were under attack by the North Vietnamese Armv</p> <p>The sight of a quiet and serene rice paddy and shrub covered valley greeted</p> <p>Swan. Too serene, he thought, as he caught sight of a trembling bush. "I think</p> <p>I just saw that bush move!" he shouted. "If it moves again, shoot it!" his squad</p> <p>leader commanded he bush moved Swan hired. and the hush went down</p> <p>Then hell on earth broke loose.</p> <p>Rocket-propelled grenades, AK-47 fire, mortars, and machine guns engulfed</p> <p>the exposed Marines. The vaunted 2nd NVA Division, six thousand, five hundred</p> <p>men strong and expertly camouflaged, had sprung their well-laid trap.</p> <p>Instead of coming to the rescue of their embattled comrades, it was now the</p> <p>men of Mike 3/5 who were about to be annihilated. Burdened with a rifle, the</p> <p>M16, that would often malfunction, how could they hope to beat back a vastly</p> <p>superior foe bent on their destruction?</p> <p>Outnumbered, out-gunned, and exposed, would any of the men of Mike 3/5 survive?</p>.
