  • The Battle of Ap Bac was a major battle during the early stages of the Vietnam War, also known in Vietnam as the American War. It was fought in Dinh Tuong Province (now part of Tiền Giang Province), South Vietnam, on January 2, 1963. Beginning in the late 1950s, fighting between the South Vietnamese government's Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) and the Communist National Liberation Front, commonly known as the Viet Cong, took place in various parts of the Mekong River. The South Vietnamese military, which received extensive military aid from the United States, initially enjoyed great successes against their opponents as they were able to inflict heavy casualties on the Viet Cong units that were filled by former members of the Viet Minh. However, despite enjoying greater advantages which came in the form of armored personnel carriers and helicopters, South Vietnamese commanders were usually deterred from pressing home their victory, due to their reluctance to absorb casualties that could be detrimental to their military careers. The development within the South Vietnamese military was reflected by the ARVN 7th Infantry Division. Throughout 1962, South Vietnamese soldiers of the 7th Infantry Division often found themselves in favorable positions to trap and destroy battalion-sized Viet Cong units in battles across the Mekong Delta, but their commanders usually allowed the Viet Cong to retreat in order to avoid taking casualties. Towards the end of 1962, the division was presented with another opportunity to inflict casualties on the Viet Cong when U.S. intelligence detected the presence of a radio transmitter along with a sizeable force of Viet Cong soldiers, reported to number around 120, in the hamlet of Ap Tan Thoi in Dinh Tuong Province, home of the ARVN 7th Infantry Division. To destroy the Viet Cong, the South Vietnamese and their American advisers planned to attack Ap Tan Thoi from three directions by using two provincial Civil Guard battalions and elements of the 11th Infantry Regiment, ARVN 7th Infantry Division. The infantry units would be supported by artillery, M-113 armored personnel carriers and helicopters. On the morning of January 2, 1963, the South Vietnamese Civil Guards spearheaded the attack by marching toward Ap Tan Thoi from the south. However, when they reached the hamlet of Ap Bac, which situation south-east of Ap Tan Thoi, they were immediately pinned down by elements of the Viet Cong 261st Battalion. Shortly afterwards, three companies of the 11th Infantry Regiment was committed into battle in northern Ap Tan Thoi, but they too could not overcome the Viet Cong soldiers who had entrenched themselves in the area. Than just before midday, further reinforcements were flown in from Tan Hiep, and the fifteen U.S. helicopters ferrying the troops were riddled by Viet Cong gunfire, and five helicopters were lost as a result. The ARVN 4th Mechanized Rifle Squadron was then deployed to save the South Vietnamese soldiers and American aircrews who were trapped in the south-western end of Ap Bac, but its commander was highly reluctant about moving heavy M-113 carriers across the local terrain. Ultimately, their presence made little difference, as the Viet Cong stood their ground and killed more than a dozen South Vietnamese M-113 crews in the process. Late in the afternoon, the ARVN 8th Airborne Battalion was dropped onto the battlefield and in a scene that characterized much of the day’s fighting; the paratroopers were pinned down and could not break the Viet Cong’s line of defense. Under the cover of darkness the Viet Cong withdrew from the battlefield, having won their first major victory.
  • Die Schlacht um Ap Bac war ein überaus bedeutsames Ereignis während der ersten Jahre des Vietnamkrieges. Während der Schlacht kämpfte ein Bataillon der Nationalen Volksbefreiungsfront gegen numerisch weit überlegene Truppen der Armee der Republik Vietnam (ARVN). Trotz des Einsatzes von Kampfbombern, Artillerie, Hubschraubern und gepanzerten Truppentransportern, gelang es den Regierungstruppen jedoch nicht die Guerillas zu besiegen. Vergeblich befahlen amerikanische Berater den vietnamesischen Offizieren, offensiv vorzugehen. Einige Einheiten und Befehlshaber weigerten sich zu gehorchen und forderten stattdessen Luftunterstützung an. Noch am selben Tage gelang es den Partisanen schließlich, im Schutz der Dunkelheit ohne Probleme zu entkommen. Ein amerikanischer Berater bezeichnete die Schlacht als "die Fort Benning-Methode wie eine unterlegene Infanterieeinheit eine effektive Verteidigung zu organisieren hat."
  • Ap Bacin taistelu oli Vietnamin sodan (1959–1975) alkuvaiheen taistelu, jossa Etelä-Vietnamin kansallinen vapautusrintama (Vietkong) otti ensimmäisen merkittävän voittonsa etelävietamilaisista ja amerikkalaisista joukoista. Taistelu käytiin 2. tammikuuta 1963 lähellä Ap Bacin kylää 65 kilometriä lounaaseen Saigonista. Taisteluun osallistuivat amerikkalaisten helikoptereiden tukeman Vietnamin tasavallan armeijan seitsemäs divisioona ja Vietkongin 261. ja 514. pataljoonan osat. Taistelussa kaatui 18 ja haavoittui 39 Vietkongin sotilasta. Etelä-Vietnamin armeijan menetykset olivat 80 kuollutta ja 100 haavoittunutta. Lisäksi taistelussa kuoli kolme ja haavoittui kahdeksan amerikkalaista.
