“The Marine defenders were overrun, but reformed on the slopes of the hill, while the North Vietnamese paused to loot the gun pits and holes of any booty.

The Marines came back with knives, fists, shovels, and guns, in a well-documented barroom brawl which cleared the hill and sent the remnants streaming down the hill, through concentrations of mortar and artillery fire, to their own lines.”
