 Believing that the PAVN on Hill 63 was more or less trapped, Major Dorland ordered the 4/21st Infantry to seize the hamlet.Supported by several M48 tanks, Company B closed the intervening distance and entered the maze of hedgerows that enclosed the settlement.The infantrymen silenced several recoilless rifles, which allowed the tanks to begin destroying PAVN bunkers at close range, either with cannon fire or by crushing them underneath the weight of the vehicles.
