US forces fought a series of engagements with ele- ments of the North Vietnamese 32nd and 66th Regiments southwest of Dak To--a strategic special forces camp adjacent to enemy infiltration routes in Kontum Province. In the engagements 26 Americans were killed while enemy losses were set at 116 killed. At Loc Ninh, the scene of heavy fighting last week, 18 US soldiers were killed and 38 wounded in engage- ments with enemy forces on 6 and 7 November. Com- munist propaganda, meanwhile, continues to assert that the enemy attacks around Loc Ninh constitute retalia- tion for US air strikes on the Hanoi area and that it marks the opening of the "winter- spring" campaign in South Vietnam. The intensity of the Communist propaganda on the subject suggests that they hoped the attacks would se- cure maximum psychological impact. The Communists may believe they have been successful in demonstrating the difficulty allied forces still operate under in provid- ing sustained security for the populace in an area only some 72 miles from Saigon. 3.5(c) 8 Nov 67 (continued) Approved for Release: 2018/06/28 C03179791 3.5(c) Approved for Release: 2018/06/28 C03179791 TO URET 3.5(c) 8 Nov 67 2 TO CRET Approved for Release: 2018/06/28 C03179791 3.5(c) 3.5(c) Approved for Release: 2018/06/28 C03179791 Approved for Release: 2018/06/28 C03179791 NR Approved for Release: 2018/06/28 C03179791 Approved for Release: 2018/06/28 C03179791 NR Approved for Release: 2018/06/28 C03179791 Approved for Release: 2018/06/28 C03179791 NR Approved for Release: 2018/06/28 C03179791 Approved for Release: 2018/06/28 C03179791 NR Approved for Release: 2018/06/28 C03179791 Approved for Release: 2018/06/28 C03179791 NR Approved for Release: 2018/06/28 C03179791 Approved for Release: 2018/06/28 C03179791 NR Ton-Secret TouSret Approved for Release: 2018/06/28 C03179791 Approved for Release: 2018/06/28 C03179791
