Operation Truong Cong Dinh
Operation Truong Cong Dinh, which occurred in March 1968, was an initiative of the United States and South Vietnamese military to sweep the area surrounding the Mekong Delta town of Mỹ Tho in the south of Vietnam to root out Viet Cong forces in the area, and to stop them from attacking traffic on the nearby Highway 4. The operation started on March 7, 1968, and lasted almost four weeks, involving the 1st and 2d brigades of the US 9th Infantry Division and the 7th Division of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam backed by South Vietnamese Regional Forces. Operations were supported by an American artillery battalion, which established a fire support base on the north bank of the Mỹ Tho River, and the Mobile Riverine Force which conducted a series of riverine and airmobile operations. The heaviest action occurred on the first two days; five US helicopters were shot down on the first day, and two artillery barges were sunk the day after.
==Background==
Trương Định was a 19th-century mandarin who served under Emperor Tự Đức of the Nguyễn Dynasty and operated in the Mekong Delta. He gained fame after the initial French invasion of southern Vietnam in the late 1850s for leading nationalist resistance fighters and was well known for his guerrilla attacks on French units along the waterways of the Mekong Delta. In 1862, faced with serious internal rebellions in other parts of the country, Tự Đức decided to cede three southern provinces to become the French colony of Cochinchina so that he could focus on putting down internal revolts. Trương became more iconic after this for his condemnation of the cession and his defiance of the emperor in continuing to fight.
