A Weary Company Fights On With Rifles, Grenades, Guts

HIEP DUC VALLEY, Vietnam -- The fighting here is a very close, personal, infantry fight.

The valley bottom is dried terraces, each terrace three or four feet higher or lower than the one next to it.

Around each of these tiny fields are thick hedgerows. And in the middle of the hedgerow are ditches and bunkers -- ditches and bunkers that you just know Charlie is in.
