edit| Description |
Español: Batalla de Dai Do, 2 de mayo de 1968. A primera hora de la mañana, las compañías E y G intentan reconquistar Dai Do. Dos secciones de Compañía E quedan retenidas en Dai Do, pero una tercera sigue adelante y se interna en las líneas enemigas bajo fuego intenso. A las 9.14, Dai Do queda bajo control estadounidense. Se ordena a la compañía H atacar Dinh To. A las 9.55, inician el ataque y se encuentran con el grueso del ejército norvietnamita (ENV). A las 12.00, solicitan refuerzos y la Compañía E acude en su ayuda. A las 13.40, el ejército norvietnamita contraataca en Dinh To. Las compañías H y E sufren grandes bajas. Se encarga a la Compañía G, con el apoyo de la Compañía F, realizar un nuevo asalto a Dinh To. El ataque iba a contar además con el apoyo de una unidad mecanizada del ejército sudvietnamita por su izquierda (Unidades ESV), apoyo que no se produjo. A las 15.05, los estadounidenses realizan una breve carga, pero quedan inmovilizados sufriendo grandes bajas. A las 16.45, dos compañías del ejército norvietnamita contraatacaron a los supervivientes de la Compañía G que, inferiores en número, huyen. Se inicia entonces una retirada general. El ejército norvietnamita ocupa Dai Do, aunque se retira esa misma noche y es ocupado nuevamente por otro batallón de marines a la mañana siguiente. (Esta descripción se basa en la descripción de la batalla de Dai Do ofrecida por Max Hastings en La guerra de Vietnam: Una tragedia épica, 1945-1975, Barcelona: Crítica, 2019, pp. 532-551.)
English: Battle of Dai Do, May 2, 1968. In the early morning, the companies E and G try to reconquer Dai Do. Two sections of Company E are held at Dai Do, but a third goes ahead and enters enemy lines under heavy fire. At 9:14 a.m., Dai Do is placed under U.S. control. Company H is ordered to attack Dinh To. At 9.55, they begin the attack and meet the bulk of the North Vietnamese army (EVN). At 12.00, they request reinforcements and Company E comes to their aid. At 13.40, the North Vietnamese army counterattacks at Dinh To. Companies H and E suffer heavy casualties. Company G, with the support of Company F, is ordered to make another assault on Dinh To. The attack was also to be supported by a mechanized unit of the South Vietnamese army on the left (Unidades ESV), which did not happen. At 3:05 p.m., the Americans carried out a brief charge, but were immobilized and suffered heavy casualties. At 4:45 p.m., two companies of the North Vietnamese army counterattack the survivors of Company G who, outnumbered, runs away. A general retreat then begins. The North Vietnamese army occupies Dai Do, although it retreats that same night and the village is again occupied by another marine battalion the next morning.
