' THIRTY PAGES 33 VIET CONG KILLED IN AMBUSH ; From AP-Reuters SAIGON (CP)--A band of Viet Cong guerrillas answered an American demand to surrender with a hail of bullets today, an encircling force of U.S. heli- copters wiped them out. A U.S. spokesman said the ist Air Cavalry forces killed 33 Viet Cong and captured eight in a five-hour engagement near the central coast 28 miles north- west of Qui Nhon. South Vietnamese forces suf- fered heavy losses when the Viet Cong overran an army post about 25 miles south of Saigon early today, military sources said. The assault on the post, in Long Anh province, began un- der cover of darkness about 4 a.m. Government reinforce- ments launched a counter-at- tack two hours later. Elsewhere in the province, the Viet C.ag made a rifle gre- nade attack on a boat patrol again inflicting heavy casual- ties, the sources said. Australian troops, in a sweep codenamed Canberra, 30 miles southeast of Saigon, killed six guerrillas, and seized thou- sands of documents and quan- tities of medical supplies, rice and ammunition. Australian casualties were de- scribed as light. The U.S. Ist Cavalry fight against the Viet Cong near Qui Nhon was part of Operation Ir- ving, which began Oct. 2 as a combined action on the central seacoast with South Vietnamese forces on the west flank and South Korean troops pushing up from the south. The U.S. troops also reported finding 20 enemy dead at the - site of a B-52 bomber raid last week about 33 miles north of Qui Nhon. In the 10 days of fighting, the U.S. forces have repo 'all ing 470 North Vie' Viet Cong and taking pod oners. Total enemy casualties claimed for the operation are 878 killed and 794 prisoners, the largest number of captives of ~ the war. On H 'Secret MISS.
