Night Firing US 1st Battalion/83rd
Artillery in Support of 1ATF
By Robert Swiggett.
Looking West. On four or more occasions
while I was there, there was ground activity in that area. We fired
on it more than once. There were about four choppers in the air with
mini Gatling Guns. They circled taking turns firing. Every third
round is a tracer so there is a lot of lead flying over there. Above
the flares in this shot you can see two white dots. (One on the
right and one centre). These are two choppers with one firing. On
this night I believe they guessed about 1,100 VC had been spotted on
the ground moving towards the 183rd and 5 RAR.
