The Red Noose
Around Saigon
By Beverly Deepe
A Special Correspondent
S~GON.
A
Communist
military
stranglehold is tightening
around this capital city, while
Viet Cong political agents are
establishing subversive civilian administrative councils in
,t he villages on Saigon's outskirts, intelligence officials report.
Military inteUigence officials
say the equivalent of a battalion of Viet Cong already
have penetriated the city limits
of Saigon. Organized! as suicide squads, murder teams
and sa,botage unius, they are
xeady to strike as soon as
orders are received from the
Communist command.
Outside Saigon, the Viet
Cong have established a double
ring of regular foroos, under
two regimental commands. One
command, called the Capital
Regiment Headquarters, and
comprising three regular light
battalions, is known to operate
close to Saigon, within Gia
Dinh Province. The second, ·
comprising four regular light
battalions, operates in a larger
circle surrounding the other's
area of responsibility. An
eighth battalion is now being
trained and will bring the
Capital Regiment up to full
four-battalion strength.
Intelligence offidals say the
Communists late last year
established the two regimental
co-ordinating commands, at
Cholon and Gia Dinh.
On Dec. 13, 1965, at a special
meeting, Viet Cong leaders for
the capital region established!
and na,med! the Capital Regiment Headquarters. The name
of the second regiment is unknown.
The Capital Regiment Headquarters has under its control
only three "light" battalions:
the 3d Battalion northeast of
Saigon, the 4th Battalion
.southeast of Saigon, the 6th
BattaJ.ion southeast of Saigon.
The 5th Battalion is expected
to complete its training next
month, and is to be assigned
northwe.s·t of Saigon, the intelligence officials say.
HARD CORE
The .seven battalions controlle♦.i hy the two regimental
headquarters each have four
companies, of roughly 150
men eaich, or roughly 600 men
per battalion. The battalions
are numerically stronger than
the average South Vietnamese
Army battalion.
These Viet Cong a.re considered hard-core regulars, recruited in thei local villages
and provinces. They operate
in ad!d!ition to local village and
regional guerri!J.as-part-time
farmers and part-time fighters.
The officials said councils
· have already been set up to
govern the villages once the
Communists seize power within South Viet Nam.
North Vietnamese refugees
who watched the Communists
defeat the French during the
Indochinese war 12 years ago
recalled that the Communists
had established similar administrative councils in Hanoi in
1951-three years before the
Communist party took over the
government of North Viet
Nam. In 1951, these administrative councils had mapped
out and organized the Communist party policy on the
most detailed problems of
governing the city of Hanoiincluding the disposal of garbage and sewage.
Other officials say the Viet
Cong are recruiting guerrillas
from within the city of Saigon
and its predominantly Chinese
twin city of Cholon, as well
as from the villages on the
outskirts of Saigon-which the
American - backed Vietnamese
government officially describes
as "pacified."
Included in the recruitment
of guerrillas are Vietnameseborn Chinese, ·w1:10 are now
working on the side of the
Viet Cong. Some Chinese Communist influence is considered
to have penetrated the politic,al atmosphere of Cholon, a
city of roughly a half-million
people.
During a seven-day, 8,000man operation ending Jan. 15,
American paratroopers and
Amstralian troops craclred the
main base area of the Viet
Cong's Saigon - Cholon - Gia
Dinh committee. They killed
151 Communists, ca,ptured 97,
and caxried off tons of documents ,a nd weapons, which
were hidden in a complex
h-0ney,com'b o,f tunnels, cement
blockhouses and underground
defenses.
While the alliedi forces disrupted the headquarters, the
Viet Cong are expected to
move back linto the Ho Bo
woods area.
La.st week the noose around
Sa}gon g,r ew tighter. Within
a 20-hour period on J·a n. 16,
in the province of Gia Dinh,
which surrounds Saigon , an
unknown number of Viet Cong
poured! small-arms lfire into a
v,illage 10 mi1es wuthwest of
Saigon.
Six hours later, a V:iet Cong
company six miles southwest
of Saigon fired mortars a t a
Vietnamese ah~borne battalion
which was assigned to protect ·
one of the largest military o!l
depots and American ammunition bases in the capital ,
area.
The next day, the Viet Cong·
attacked the Thu Due Infantry and Axmored School,
which is between Saig,on and
the Bien Hoa air base. At
Bien Hoa, only 12 minutes
drive from Saigon, is more
than a division of American
combat forces.
The Capital Military Region
cover·s Saigon and its Chinese
twin-city of Cholon (population: 1,641,000)-a ,t otal of 30
square miles-plus Gia Dinh
Province, which contains 77
square miles.
MORE ATTACKS
American military commanders have classified Gia
Dinh Province as pacified, but
the number of Viet Cong
armed attacks have been rising steadily. District headquarters barely out of range
of the neon lights of Saigon
are consistently hit with mortar fire. Almost nightly now,
diners at Saigon roofitop restaurants witness flare drops
and jet strafing runs.
"Almost every night we
drop flares ;right at the end
of the big runway," an Ameri,<,,~11 *man at Saigon•~ Tan
Son N ut attpor sa1 . .
"We've got ba,ttalions o!
Viet Cong right around this
air base. We have fire fights
three times a week at :the
bomb dump right on the edge
of rthe runway. Nobody goes
down by that bomb dump unless he has to. American crew
chiefs have to guard all
night their individual a'ircraft
parked down near there--but
they know they're just sttting
ducks," he said.
American pilots often land
at night at Tan Son Nhut
without any lights on their
planes because they feel they
are less conspicuous targets.
Intelligence officials say the
Viet Cong commander of the
Saigon area uses the alias o!
Muoi Tr'i, which means Spirit
No. 1'0<. Formerly a member o!
the gangster - pirate Binx
Xuyen group, he was captured
by the French during the
Indochinese War, and was
sent to North Viet Nam when
the country was divided by
the 1954 Geneva Agreements.
These officials say the Viet
Cong specialist on commando
attacks within Saigon is
named Cao Pha, which means
Superman. He also fought in
North Viet Nam during the
French Indochinese War.
The Viet Cong spec"ialist on
sabotage is named Hai Den,
which means Black No. 2.
The Saigon murder teams
operate under the command
of La Van. Lien, which is a
Chinese name. This spec'ialist
in assassinations by pistol
gained fame in Saigon for
killing the French official in
charge of security -throughout
Indochina during the Indo chinese War. He, too, was sent
,t o North Viet Nam af,t er the
1954 Geneva Agreement. The
Vietnamese government has
xecently put a 1 million piastre
<U. S. $10,000) pr'ice on his
head. The Viet Cong political
adviser to the Saigon area
operates under the alias of
Chin Dung (Courage No. 9).

say the equivalent of a battalion of Viet Cong already
have penetriated the city limits
of Saigon. Organized! as suicide squads, murder teams
and sa,botage unius, they are
xeady to strike as soon as
orders are received from the
Communist command.
Outside Saigon, the Viet
Cong have established a double
ring of regular foroos, under
two regimental commands. One
command, called the Capital
Regiment Headquarters, and
comprising three regular light
battalions, is known to operate
close to Saigon, within Gia
Dinh Province. The second, ·
comprising four regular light
battalions, operates in a larger
circle surrounding the other's
area of responsibility. An
eighth battalion is now being
trained and will bring the
Capital Regiment up to full
four-battalion strength.
Intelligence offidals say the
Communists late last year
established the two regimental
co-ordinating commands, at
Cholon and Gia Dinh.
On Dec. 13, 1965, at a special
meeting, Viet Cong leaders for
the capital region established!
and na,med! the Capital Regiment Headquarters. The name
of the second regiment is unknown.
The Capital Regiment Headquarters has under its control
only three "light" battalions:
the 3d Battalion northeast of
Saigon, the 4th Battalion
.southeast of Saigon, the 6th
BattaJ.ion southeast of Saigon.
The 5th Battalion is expected
to complete its training next
month, and is to be assigned
northwe.s·t of Saigon, the intelligence officials say.
HARD CORE
The .seven battalions controlle♦.i hy the two regimental
headquarters each have four
companies, of roughly 150
men eaich, or roughly 600 men
per battalion. The battalions
are numerically stronger than
the average South Vietnamese
Army battalion.
These Viet Cong a.re considered hard-core regulars, recruited in thei local villages
and provinces. They operate
in ad!d!ition to local village and
regional guerri!J.as-part-time
farmers and part-time fighters.
The officials said councils
· have already been set up to
govern the villages once the
Communists seize power within South Viet Nam.
North Vietnamese refugees
who watched the Communists
defeat the French during the
Indochinese war 12 years ago
recalled that the Communists
had established similar administrative councils in Hanoi in
1951-three years before the
Communist party took over the
government of North Viet
Nam. In 1951, these administrative councils had mapped
out and organized the Communist party policy on the
most detailed problems of
governing the city of Hanoiincluding the disposal of garbage and sewage.
Other officials say the Viet
Cong are recruiting guerrillas
from within the city of Saigon
and its predominantly Chinese
twin city of Cholon, as well
as from the villages on the
outskirts of Saigon-which the
American - backed Vietnamese
government officially describes
as "pacified."
Included in the recruitment
of guerrillas are Vietnameseborn Chinese, ·w1:10 are now
working on the side of the
Viet Cong. Some Chinese Communist influence is considered
to have penetrated the politic,al atmosphere of Cholon, a
city of roughly a half-million
people.
During a seven-day, 8,000man operation ending Jan. 15,
American paratroopers and
Amstralian troops craclred the
main base area of the Viet
Cong's Saigon - Cholon - Gia
Dinh committee. They killed
151 Communists, ca,ptured 97,
and caxried off tons of documents ,a nd weapons, which
were hidden in a complex
h-0ney,com'b o,f tunnels, cement
blockhouses and underground
defenses.
While the alliedi forces disrupted the headquarters, the
Viet Cong are expected to
move back linto the Ho Bo
woods area.
La.st week the noose around
Sa}gon g,r ew tighter. Within
a 20-hour period on J·a n. 16,
in the province of Gia Dinh,
which surrounds Saigon , an
unknown number of Viet Cong
poured! small-arms lfire into a
v,illage 10 mi1es wuthwest of
Saigon.
Six hours later, a V:iet Cong
company six miles southwest
of Saigon fired mortars a t a
Vietnamese ah~borne battalion
which was assigned to protect ·
one of the largest military o!l
depots and American ammunition bases in the capital ,
area.
The next day, the Viet Cong·
attacked the Thu Due Infantry and Axmored School,
which is between Saig,on and
the Bien Hoa air base. At
Bien Hoa, only 12 minutes
drive from Saigon, is more
than a division of American
combat forces.
The Capital Military Region
cover·s Saigon and its Chinese
twin-city of Cholon (population: 1,641,000)-a ,t otal of 30
square miles-plus Gia Dinh
Province, which contains 77
square miles.
MORE ATTACKS
American military commanders have classified Gia
Dinh Province as pacified, but
the number of Viet Cong
armed attacks have been rising steadily. District headquarters barely out of range
of the neon lights of Saigon
are consistently hit with mortar fire. Almost nightly now,
diners at Saigon roofitop restaurants witness flare drops
and jet strafing runs.
"Almost every night we
drop flares ;right at the end
of the big runway," an Ameri,<,,~11 *man at Saigon•~ Tan
Son N ut attpor sa1 . .
"We've got ba,ttalions o!
Viet Cong right around this
air base. We have fire fights
three times a week at :the
bomb dump right on the edge
of rthe runway. Nobody goes
down by that bomb dump unless he has to. American crew
chiefs have to guard all
night their individual a'ircraft
parked down near there--but
they know they're just sttting
ducks," he said.
American pilots often land
at night at Tan Son Nhut
without any lights on their
planes because they feel they
are less conspicuous targets.
Intelligence officials say the
Viet Cong commander of the
Saigon area uses the alias o!
Muoi Tr'i, which means Spirit
No. 1'0<. Formerly a member o!
the gangster - pirate Binx
Xuyen group, he was captured
by the French during the
Indochinese War, and was
sent to North Viet Nam when
the country was divided by
the 1954 Geneva Agreements.
These officials say the Viet
Cong specialist on commando
attacks within Saigon is
named Cao Pha, which means
Superman. He also fought in
North Viet Nam during the
French Indochinese War.
The Viet Cong spec"ialist on
sabotage is named Hai Den,
which means Black No. 2.
The Saigon murder teams
operate under the command
of La Van. Lien, which is a
Chinese name. This spec'ialist
in assassinations by pistol
gained fame in Saigon for
killing the French official in
charge of security -throughout
Indochina during the Indo chinese War. He, too, was sent
,t o North Viet Nam af,t er the
1954 Geneva Agreement. The
Vietnamese government has
xecently put a 1 million piastre
<U. S. $10,000) pr'ice on his
head. The Viet Cong political
adviser to the Saigon area
operates under the alias of
Chin Dung (Courage No. 9).
