| Video Discription | ~ THE BATTLE OF KON TUM DESCRIPTION: The 320th PAVN Division had failed in its attempt to crush the 23rd ARVN Division and seize the city of Kon Tum. However, it would not do this alone - the 2nd PAVN Division, which had destroyed the 22nd ARVN Division at Tân Cảnh and Dak Tô II, was now joining them on the battlefield. A total of five North Vietnamese infantry regiments, with main-battle tanks, would make a final attempt to seize this provincial capital from the Republic of Vietnam. This video series is about the Battle of Kon Tum, where 2 North Vietnamese Divisions and 4 Independent Regiments made a Corps-level strike into Kon Tum province in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam’s Military-Region 2. The 3rd PAVN Division simultaneously hit Northern Bình Định province. The least well known out of the 3 major battles from the Easter Offensive, it still has very well known moments, including the death of Colonel Nguyễn Đình Bảo at Firebase Charlie, amongst other events that will occur in this series. Kon Tum threatened to cut South Vietnam directly in half, therefore it serves as a grim foreshadowing to Ban Mê Thuột and the fall of South Vietnam just 2 years later. The Easter Offensive of 1972, or the Nguyễn Huệ Offensive and Mùa Hè Đỏ Lửa (Summer of Red Fire), was a massive Communist Offensive to try to destroy the Republic of Vietnam. Three massive corps-level battles were launched in Quảng Trị, Kon Tum, and Bình Long provinces. This offensive would fade into summary/minimization in mainstream American and English-speaking histories, as opposed to the Tết Offensive of 1968. However, it is an untapped source for analysing the Vietnam War. The Easter Offensive was the very first time the North Vietnamese attempted to utilise combined-arms warfare on a massive scale. For this offensive, the North Vietnamese were handsomely equipped by the Soviets with T-54s/T55s, APCs, ZSU-57s, 130mm and 122mm state-of-the-art howitzers, and the latest SA-7/AT-3 guided missiles. The mainstream understanding of the war is guerrilla warfare in the jungle with American patrols - this offensive completely rips that view of the war to shreds.
